Environmental Adaptation

The dark and frigid terrain of the arctic tundra; the unbearable heat of the desert; the oppressive humidity and grime of the jungle...these harsh terrains are where your people have made their home for generations. Some say you are blessed by mother nature, while others find the adaptations abhorrent and unnatural. The truth may be either, or somewhere in between, or something entirely different, but only your people, if anyone, know the truth of your heritage. Your eyes may be different than a normal human's, granting you a greater night vision than a normal human; or perhaps you show thick fur on your extremities to deal with the extreme cold; or maybe your body stores water in deposits around your body like a camel to survive in the desert. Whatever your adaptations, they mark you as an outsider in most places, and may cause others to treat you differently than other human compatriots.
