The Birrin are a sentient hexapod (six limbed) species from a planet approximately the size of Venus. This individual, gaudily attired, lives (and sometimes works) in the tropical regions of their world, bordering the uninhabitably hot equatorial zone many birrin call the 'Kiln'. Low employment, high temperatures and generally harsh conditions mean that narcotic use is high among many of the population here. This birrin, after ending a work cycle and with no further hive duties, uses and deals in most of the local low end narcotics. The three clasped in the beak offer an enjoyable combination of flavours when partaken together. Other mixes are stored in plain view under a strap on the head for sale or later use. As there is no substance control in this region, they can be shown in plain sight. Potentially quite profitable, this individual has found much use for the money brought its way through the sale of longneck cigarettes. Either through trade or purchase, he has adorned himself with plenty of flaunted accessories, include a wrist mounted multimedia device, which feeds headphone cables to the auditory receptors at the tip of the upper two eyestalks; the device was likely traded illegally, or purchased from a wholesale shipment moving from the deep water docks on its way inland. Completing his accoutrements are an old cigarette lighter, a wallet strapped to the forearm, and a few rolls of personally selected drugs to his personal taste bound to his neck.

They can, but they might not survive it.

I adore how you make these nonhumanoid, unearthlike creatures sapient (not sentient, one would assume that most complex animals are sentient) and clothed. Most just stick with them being animals, or at the very least tribal sapients. Say, since you mentioned Birrin culture, what are the major cultures of the Birrin anyways? They obviously do not have a "Birrin culture", just as we don't have a "Human culture".

Are these creatures hive animals? Do they live in complex 'hives', or can one live solitary as one might choose to live in the country here on Earth? Do they think independently or do they think collectively? :3
I love how while this alien is quiet alien and 'strange' (in a good way!) this individual is relate-able. It is a true alien, yet still carries some qualities we can relate to, carrying a wallet and wearing nice clothing. It's a very wonderful paradox. :D

They are as independent as humans, no hive society.

What on Earth - or, rather, Chiirah - would the Birrin's aesthetic taste in music be? I look at this phenomenal picture, and I just start seeing him bob his head to electronica... but that's human music, for human tastes and senses. What would Birrin music be like?

Actually, like with humans each culture has its own musical aesthetic. When I imagine it though its generally a combination of indian, middle eastern and house themes.

The markings are patches of flaking skin caused by some of the drugs it uses :)
