Selvaean is a gender in the Sylvian System, one of the four Nature Systems. It is a gender which is both connected to forests, deep naturecore, and their overall aesthetics but which has a specific and strong connection to tropical forest and/or jungles. One may feel like their gender is specifically related to tropical forests or a specific part of them. For example, someone may feel that their gender is related to tropical forests if their gender is deeply naturecoric but feels warm and full of life and adventure. Selvaean people can have any alignment and/or no alignment, and depending on what alignment they have, they could use another term from the Sylvian System to describe themselves. For example, a selvaean person who is fiaspec could say they're mistic selvaean, from mistian.
