The Amaki are humanoids with rock-hard skin. Their bodies appear to be made of sculpted marble, and their size and proportions are very similar to those of humans; the shape of most Amaki follows the human ideal of perfection. Most male Amaki have protrusions under their chins that are shaped to resemble the ornate beards of Assyrian .or Babylonian sculptures. They have no other hair or hair-like growths, their skin is smooth and cool to the touch. Although their flesh has some of the elasticity of humans, it is surprisingly tough and strong; Amaki are impervious to small arms and can even survive minor M.D.C. damage! Although their natural color is a shiny gray or black, Amaki, both male and female, like to paint themselves in diverse colors, from human like pink and brown tones to outlandish red, blue and green shades. Their clothing styles are incredibly varied and extravagant, running the whole gamut from skin-tight jumpsuits (some of them inspired by Arkhon fashions!) to stylized, multi-layered dresses adorned by lace, embroideries and ruffles. Despite all these similarities to human shape, the Amaki had no contact with humans until their arrival on Rifts Earth. They found humans to be the most "Amaki-like" race they've ever encountered, which may account for the strong bonds of friendship they've established with their human partners. Marriages between humans and Amaki are not infrequent; although such unions cannot produce chiJdren, couples traditionalJy adopt a child from each race.
