Gylmi have soft, delicate skin in shades of pearly white, peach, salmon, or sandy brown. Their hair is often dark brown or black, but for some it takes on the colors of the sea, and they have thick, expressive eyebrows. Gylmi are physically bound to the sea; they must submerge themselves in water at least once a day or their skin dries and cracks, their organs begin to fail, and they eventually die.  ## Society ... ## Relations ... ## Alignment and Philosophy ... ## Adventures ...  ## Naming Traditions ... **Male Names:** **Female Names:**  # Racial Traits (10 RP) ### Standard Racial Traits - **Ability Score Racial Traits:** Gylmi gain a +2 to any single ability score of your choice during character creation. - **Size:** Gylmi are Medium creatures and thus receive no bonuses or penalties due to their size. - **Type:** Gylmi are humanoids with the gylm and aquatic subtype. - **Base Speed:** Gylmi base land speed is 30 feet.
