[edit] Species

Hermats, as a race, tend to keep to themselves, and they have tended to segregate themselves from the rest of the Federation. Hermat individuals are possessed of two sexes, and each has fully functioning male and female capabilities. They are exceptionally hedonistic in general and they celebrate the duality that makes them unique.

[edit] Physical Attributes

Physically Hermats look much like humans, that is a cross between male and female humans. Their hips are typically rounder than human males, yet not so curvaceous as typical female humans. Similarly, they are typically small busted. Also, Hermats have somewhat larger foreheads, sharpened canine teeth, and very dark eyes. Hermats posses physical strength about two and a half times human norm. They also possess a very acute sense of smell in regards to detecting pheromones. Many members of other races find the Hermat's dual sexuality to be disturbing. One race who are completely comfortable with Hermats are the Trill for obvious reasons.

[edit] Pronouns created by Hermats

Because of their bi-gendered natures, special pronouns and honorifics are used when referring to members of species possessed of both sexes such as the Hermats. In place of him and her, the term hir (pronounced "HEER") is used. Hish is a possessive pronoun which replaces the mono-gendered terms his and hers. The pronoun s/he (pronounced "SS-hee") replaces the masculine he and feminine she. In place of such honorifics as Sir or Ma'am, the dual-gendered Shir (pronounced "SHER") is used.
