Biology
The angara have a similar leg structure to a quarian or a turian, along with relatively wide shoulders and narrow hips. They have two black eyes with blue irises, a single pair of nostrils, four or five fingers on each hand and folds of flesh on the sides of their heads. Angara are sexually dimorphic: male angara are taller than females, and females have narrower hips and rounder faces.
Skin colours feature various shades of blue or mauve, sometimes shading into green or tan. Their blood is deep blue in colour.
History
The angara were once a highly advanced species, but the kett invasion of the Heleus Cluster disrupted their civilization. Many angara are now part of a resistance movement against the Kett.[2]
Culture
The angara as a people are very free with their emotions, demonstrative and "larger than life". If they love you they hug you, if they hate you or if you make them mad, they punch you; this extends to their own family members. The angara are typically mistrustful of other races, which is understandable; the last outsiders they met were the Kett and they have done nothing but attack and enslave the angara.
