I'm curious how you managed to come up with some of that - a lot of that seems like pure speculation that would have literally nothing either proving or disproving it, or even evidence toward either side at all. Things like the way you described Asari skeletal structure and such.
If you just completely made up lots of it, that's one thing, but if you found even the smallest bit of evidence for lots of that, that's what I'm curious about.
Don't misunderstand me as saying "you're wrong." I'm saying more that a lot just seems to be stuff the games were completely silent on at all. So, it's not so much in this case that "you're wrong" as it is "how do you know it's 'x' and not 'y' or 'z'?"
It's purely made up :happy:
The impetus is that it's preposterously improbable that the only differences between humans and an alien species would be skin color and some cartilage on the head.
At the same time, we're constrained by what we
do see. So I can't, for example, invent a tail.
So, I'm trying to introduce plausible changes within that context.
Edit: I
do try to incorporate various things we've seen or heard in the game, inasmuch as I can, such as the note about more flexible joints, and the birthing creché mentioned in the LoTSB dossiers.
Edit - Also, was talking to a friend. He asked me a question I thought was interesting. He wanted to know if Asari could move their head tentacles at all. Of course Liara says they don't flop about or move on their own...but could they be moved by hand? Or are they completely rigid? As tentacles they don't seem like they should be so rigid that they can't be moved by hand, even if the Asari can't consciously move them.
They're explained to be cartilage and skin, so they could be as hard as the back of your ear, even if hollowed. Moreso if thick. My interpretation is that they're somewhat flexible themselves, and there's some musculature that can either be relaxed or activated, I haven't decided yet.
Although I'm a bit worried all of this is maybe slightly veering off into the the dreaded Talimancer territory of "hey let's discuss what Tali's sweat taste like and oh let's come to the conclusion that it's healthy, tasty, a stimulant, and a perfect drug and a perfect elixir."
I've actually been reading some fanfic (spurred by the excellent “Dark Energy” series) and the thing I was most consistently disappointed in was the fact that Liara was just a blue woman in every single one. I was hoping that I might come up with something reasonable to use if I ever get to writing myself, and offer for use by others.

Retour en haut
But everyone likes something different so... She probably smells like blueberries! 
interesting 
I even made a bit of a nod toward your depiction, as you may have noticed.
