===Common Dynasty===

The Common Dynasty is a collection of the smaller historical Chi, Zen and Gai Dynasties which are all practically the same, thus referred to as the Common Dynasty. Note, it is thus possible to be of either Chi, Zen or Gai Dynasties, though there are no physical or mental differences between these Dynasties beyond cultural norms. As such, when identifying to foreigners or their own people, these Dynasty subspecies are simply referred to as the Common Dynasty. These Dynasties ruled the Sihai lands for the longest and are also the most numerous among the Sihai people, and are thus what many foreigners identify as a typical Sihai individual. The Common Dynasty Sihai are proportionally Ailor in build. They are, however, shorter than the Ailor, standing between 5 and a half feet to five feet and eight inches tall. Their skin tone is pale ~~and somewhat yellowish in complexion~~, while their ~~most notable physical trait is the~~ epicanthic ~~fold in their eyes~~ (giving ~~their eyes a more squinted~~ appearance). The Common Dynasty always has black straight hair, minimal facial hair growth, and their eyes are shades of brown. Mentally, the Common Dynasties are considered intellectual and are stronger logical thinkers than most Humanoid races. They have a longer attention span and are excellent at working with numbers, but like Allar they have trouble grasping abstract thought. Those that favor the Common Dynasty as their main form are generally curious, scientific, and have a great love for rich culture.

===War Dynasty===

The War Dynasty is a collection of the smaller historical Huai, Huon, and Zuge Dynasties, which have only small physical differences between them. The War Dynasty people look visually the same as the Common Dynasty with their black hair, brown eyes and epicanthic eye folds, though they have different bodily proportions. The War Dynasty Sihai grow taller than the Common Dynasty, and reach up to a little over six feet tall. The War Dynasty appear universally more masculine; even the females, who can look intimidating and aggressive - all of which are temperaments that carry on in their personalities. Additionally, each of the three War Dynasties also has a special trait associated with them. The Huai Dynasty Sihai have a long, prehensile, monkey-like tail longer than the length of their legs. The Huon Dynasty Sihai have a similarly prehensile tail, though theirs is thicker, covered in lizard scales and range from gray to green in color. Finally, the Zuge Dynasty has no tail, but has far more aggressive facial hair and body hair presence than is normal for either War or Common Dynasties. Despite these small differences in appearance, the War Dynasties are all still just classified as a single War Dynasty because they also share numerous traits. All of them have a skin tone variation that ranges from the ~~common yellowish pink~~ that the Common Dynasties have, to skin tones more frequently seen among the [[Qadir~~]] and even the lighter skinned [[Songaskia~~]], while their hair color is always black. Those that favor the form of the War Dynasties as their main form have a jovial and excitable, but also aggressive temperament prone to violence. They frequently end up in fights and wish to outcompete one another, but also dominate the other Sihai Dynasties which they see as physically inferior.
