Quinoxian
Quinoxians are the predominate race on the planet Quinox and it's twin moons and may be one of the oldest species in the entire solar system.

Physical Appearance
Quinoxians are a bipedal species which shares many of the outward physical characteristics of many of the species which existed in the Solar System in the past. They come in a range of sizes with the average height of a male being 6'0 and the average female height 5'6. Due to the nature of the planet which they live in, there is very few skin color variations present, with the exception of a few clans who possess deep tan skin, though it has been hinted at being less of a product of natural selection and more a left over of certain ancestral genes.
One of the more identifiable features of the species is their hair and eye color. Most if not all Quinoxians possess darker shades of hair, most notably red, which is often paired by deep green eyes.
Skeletial System
The planet of Quinox is slightly larger then the Earth and the skeleton of a Quinoxian is thus built to handle the slightly heavier gravity. While to the outside observer, Quinoxian bones may appear no different then any other, the secret to their survival is contained within rather then without. The bones are far denser then a human's, containing less marrow (something which is compensated by a feature later discussed) as well as being constructed of a much stronger form of calcium. This not only results in a skeletal system much more adapted to much stronger pressures but also means these bones are far less likely to break and are harder then any human's. This has at times had the side effect of allowing a Quinoxian to have an extra edge in a physical fight, allowing them to hit harder with far less damage to their own body.
Muscular System
Alongside the extra strong bone structure, Quinoxian muscles are made to compliment their unusual construction. Most notably the muscles in the legs are somewhat more stronger then a human, as well, oddly enough, those in the back. On their own planet, this allows them to move with ease without discomfort. On other worlds of lesser gravity, this results in them coming across as far more agile then would naturally seem possible.
