    It is actually possible to go to zero body fat. However, you shouldn't for obvious reasons. The most famous man who is at zero body fat, his muscles are like metal coils that press against the skin. It isn't that appealing because of the artery/veins that tend to show. Men are not supposed to go lower than 2 per cent body fat. However, a hunter-gatherer who trains every single day etc is not going to retain fat, as they will burn off the stores almost instantly. It's more than likely why their training regime is so strict. A male Viera can't afford to not eat. But this is if we're going by human standards. Viera are not human. Nor have we seen that they can breed with humans and have children. Looking at past lore we know they have some sort of different biology.

    And of course, the muscles make sense. Seeing as in boxing they are strength trainers, not bodybuilders.

    I higly doubt male viera will be too different from anything we alreayd have, but I'd like them to be similar to au ra/elezen in build, with thin waist big hips

    also, at least female vieras must wear high heels all the time because of their bone structure, their hair is always white unless they dye it and I believe that their ears arent the color of their hair btu of their skin? At least it was like that on Tactics

    Yep! The racial heels are actually locked so you can't switch them off. They are nice but sometimes when I make an outfit they aren't always the best fit. You work with what you have though!

    I've found this art ,which in my opinion, could really fit male viera, giving them very big legs/hips/butt makes sense considering they're based on rabbits/hares which have like, huge legs, and this guy, with slightly less defined muscle, could easily go for a jungle tribal hunter
    There we go, now THAT looks like a viera. Just add some bunny ears, and get rid of the human ears. Keep the hair and sideburns though!

    Can u tell me why are u so unbelivably rude to me every single time I post? It's honestly not even funny? Specially after when you were the one getting attacked by everybody I was one of the ppl defending u, I'd really like if u could please stop, because this makes absolutely no sense. Your sarcasm is completely unnecessary, and yes, in lore, viera must wear high heels all time, but SE didnt do it because of resources. Then, that is exactly the type of male viera u and many other ppl have been asking for?

    Huh? What is with the hostility here? I was just saying I restrict my character to only wearing heels for lore reasons, you misunderstand me. I'm sorry for trying to have a little continuity. You can't switch them off if you are following your own lore guidelines. Similar to how people won't RP with "male" viera.

    Yeah, that is pretty much exactly how I envision male viera. Extremely lore friendly too, and would probably make the most sense here.
