Klyros, being "reptilian-like" in sense of skin at least, could also be reptilian in other ways? Seeing as there is a (somewhat strong) agreement on that Klyros isn't mammal, we can rule out both breasts and wider hips.
If they lay eggs or bear live young is more for settings team to decide upon really, but for both cases reptiles have concealed genitalia, so the clothing might just be a social thing to fit better with the other races.
My main point, the differences between the male/female Klyros, is that with most reptiles (and birds) the males have certain physical attributes to attract the female. If this were to be with Klyros as well, we're talking stronger colors, bigger wings/crests etc.

Last thing. I'm Klyros myself, so I didn't pick the reptilian angle for some "racist" joke thingy :)

Well after looking at the sketches that are for the Klyros in the "Races" section of the PS website, the females have a smaller crest on their head, as well as their chin is more pointed and the face more flat (or is that just the angles of the pic?). The wings of the males are more straight and angled along the edges while the females wings are slightly curved, like the typical reptilian wing. And even though they aren't mammals, it seems the females still have the hourglass shaped body.

But maybe those are just really old sketches and it needs an update. :P

But the females will still need something to cover up the upper body. Possibly if it's just Klyros, it wouldn't matter if they had shirts or not. But, in an environment with multiple races, they'll need to wear something in order to probably not freak out other people.

I'm just sayin'. ;)

klyros womens have bewbs, according to the website

if you were going to take the reptile/bird approach, klyros females wouldn't have many distinctive marks or coloring. if they're like birds, the females would be larger than the males.

Had these from a little bit ago.  I believe it would be appropriate to post them here.

Colored headfins anyone?
These are just sketches I did on a whim.  I thought the female should be different in appearance and figured I'd come up with something.

Also concerning the image on the main site, I think racial appearances as now defined are not set in stone.  Dermorians do not have the described amber colored skin, and I think I recall hearing that lemurs won't be light green.

i think basic textures should have only a limited amount of clothing not like for example ylians or dermorians

I see where you're coming from, weltall, but I think that shouldn't be the case until clothes are available.

Clothes are available. It's just a minor thing that no one has taken the time to do art for.

I support weltall, if people don't want to be naked, then they should get some leather armour. Or, once clothing is implemented, newbs could get basic rags.

My new char is a klyros and I agree that there should be more customization and distinction. I agree with the fact that the males should have larger and more colourful crests. The females should perhaps have softer facial bone structure to make them seem more feminine.

Ylians are able to customize their hair, so maybe the Klyros could Customize their crest shape and colour. Same thing with the wings.

 :offtopic: It would make for some interesting role-play if one could be completely naked. *hinthint*

LOL, I don't think we're gonna see nude characters anytime sune, Gavvie. Just, err, use your imagination, if you must play out that sort of thing. >>;

Getting back on-topic, I was meaning to mention customizable wings myself - I've seen a description or two talking about torn wings; it'd be nice to have a visual representation of that. Maybe a few different shapes and sizes for wings as well?

unfortunately changing only the color means the mesh has to be refitted to have the crest part and wings part which can change colours separate

S'too late. I've already seen a nude character....

Well maybe instead of changing color why don't just have the crests and wings change altogether? Like torn wings, small wings, ripped crest, etc. I know it probably won't happen yet but it's still a thought.

Oh, I've been doing some sketching. Soon as my dad shows me how to use the scanner I could post a few :P
