Vivaxi
Basic Information
Anatomy
Vivaxi anatomy is bipedal and short of stature. Their frames tend to be slight, even accounting for their stature.
Genetics and Reproduction
Vivaxi reproduce sexually. The prime years of fertility are between one hundred and three hundred years of age, and a female will typically bear one child every seventy-five to one hundred years, on average.
Growth Rate & Stages
Vivaxi are long-lived, second only to elves.
Outward physical maturity comes in their mid teens, but they are not cognitively and emotionally mature until around four decades of life. At this time, they generally begin looking for a mate and a place to make their warrens. Until they reach around three centuries of age, they are in the childrearing years, though they reproduce very slowly. At about four centuries of age, gnomes begin to noticably age and their bodies begin to decline, though this happens over the course of the next seven or eight decades. Few live past their fifth century mark.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Like all the khuldings, the various gnome species have evolved some ability to see in dim light and darkness, owing to their adaptation for underground burrows and warrens.
