Editing Shayhiloosh (section)

== Other Information ==
'''Hobbies:''' Shayhiloosh enjoys singing, Arborian styles of dance, and rooting hirself in interesting places.

'''General Notes:''' Correct pronoun usage for an androgynous species such as Shayhiloosh is as follows: s/he as subject (S/he is walking), ‘hir’ (pronounced as heer) as the possessive, and ‘hirself’ (pronounced heerself). Examples below.

'''Speech:''' [[Arborians]] use their leaf-like bladders in a breathy, breezy almost whispery voice which rustles.

'''Hearing:''' [[Arborians]] can hear by detecting vibrations through touch and through the air. They can detect and generate tones and sounds outside human hearing range, including  subsonic and ultrasonic ranges. These can be used to communicate long distances. No ears are visible.

'''Sitting:''' Though Shayhiloosh can bend easily and curve hir trunk, hir natural stance is to remain upright. Hir preferred method of ‘sitting’ is to gracefully spread out hir roots, in a manner like what humans call doing the splits. After sinking down in this fashion, Shayhiloosh then curls up hir ‘feet’ or root ‘legs’ in a nice neat circle around hir lower trunk. S/he finds this preferable to bending hir trunk, as would be required to sit in a manner common to humanoid species. Hir is then short enough to access tables, consoles and any other equipment built primarily for humanoids. For better stability, if there is room, Shayhiloosh can and will spread hir roots out as far as they will go, regardless of the surface. 

'''Psychology:''' [[Arborians]] have a strong code of ethics, and will not cheat, steal, murder, or lie. They will act to defend themselves in instances of life threatening danger, and are dangerous when provoked. They can prevaricate and omit the truth when the situation deems necessary for secretiveness and discretion. They tend to be resistant to change.

Shayhiloosh personally feels that most species are a bit on the small side, and have far too few limbs. S/he is also unusually open-minded, as [[Arborians]] go.

'''Special Traits:''' When at rest, usually for at least a few hours each daylight cycle when [[Arborians]] are able to conduct photosynthesis, they share a type of group telepathy. [[Arborians]] are able to access something they refer to as the Dreamplane. For the uninitiated, the Dreamplane can be a dangerous place as besides mirroring whatever happens in reality, it can manifest people’s sorrow, fear, joy, and anger.
