Personally, for the sake of RP, I think making it so Avali need a bunch of special survival equipment to regulate their body temperature/stop water from contacting their skin/etc. compared to every other major species on "earthlike" worlds is a bit... bleh. I mean respiration equipment, sure, and maybe going to very hot places like deserts or volcanically active locations or... saunas, but a mildly-warm day being excruciatingly painful or stepping in a puddle being like walking in lava seems a bit... uh... yeah. Official lore is all for that stuff, but RPing it seemed to be such a nuisance that people probably just neglected to even mention their sometimes-bulky full-body survival gear or suits, etc. or only made passing references to it and mostly just ignored it even in situations where it would be a hindrance.
I propose, for this universe, which we've already established doesn't follow most of the various source materials' canons, the Avali be moved up (even if it wouldn't make sense biologically and chemically in our universe) to less bizzarely off-kilter survival requirements compared to what seems to be pretty much everyone else. After all, since a lot of people have non-Avali characters, and the difficulty of space travel, the majority of action will probably be taking place on generally-survivable worlds.
Absolutely. Trying to get life in cold areas is absolutely insane, due to life's energy-hungry nature (unless you evolved super-bacteria, but those only come about because life had a foothold elsewhere), and it's made even worse by having a moon as their homeworld, which means half of it's year is spent without the the sun. Unless you got volcanic activity, all life is fucked, and if you got volcanic activity, it's not going to be fucking cold.
Small note: Due to the lower gravity, atmosphere pressurization would be heavily low compared to earth, meaning avali would be much better at space, due to low air pressure requirements (which is expensive to keep inside a ship or suit), and an increase of time they can spend in space pressures.
Next small note; They really should not try to spacewalk without a suit, though. Why? Because the planet they orbit would have a magnetic field that overlaps with the moon's field, meaning they would have evolved with less exposure to radiation.
Why the hell am I thinking deeper about avali than Ryuujin did?
