Faulters

The Faulters are a Hard race which lives in the cracks of mountains, fighting to survive just outside of inhospitable wastelands. They are a binary-thinking race; quick to make decisions and very slow to change them. They are generally ornery at best towards other species.

Biology
Faulters have acute heterochromia as a species. One eye is black, and one eye is white. This isn't always true, but for Faulters, it's considered healthy, and those who have identical eyes are generally considered unusual or unnatural. Faulter skin is coarse and stony, and their legs end in stumps with four extremely dextrous toes.

Culture
Faulters are extremely dedicated to the concept of duality. Decisions are made very quickly, deciding what is what and what is what not. Their society believes that there are always only two opposed sides on every issue. Good and Evil. Love and Hate. Alive and Dead. Friend and Enemy. There are very few gray areas in Faulter culture. The other races tend to find this way of thinking very frustrating and hard to circumvent, which lends the Faulters a reputation as a very stubborn species. Since Faulters have such a different way of thinking than most races, they consider all outsiders 'enemies' by default, which has not led them to have many good interspecies relationships.
