Novaxan Color Code

Novaxans don't see colors as we do, they have no word as simple as blue, or red. These are emotions and communications to them, such as peace and rage. All Novaxans have areas all over their body, their head, backs, chests, out and inside of their arms and legs, and the mound above their genitals. These areas change patterns, color, and brightness intensity to convey emotions, and intentions.
