They doesn't have allways dry skin (I have kinda dry skin and I'm not an albino), they cannot tan: their skin burns and gets red, then it cures and becomes clear again (it is more painful than it looks... my skin is also delicate and: ouch!). Their eyes are more sensitive to very bright lights, just like those who have blue or green eyes. By the way, albinos' skin is not as white as Elric's; it is pale, but not that much.Sweet moons!

There's an albino website that also has some great artwork by Robert Gould. Don't have the address immediately to hand, but I think it's somewhere around here. Very useful and informative site.Pre-order or Buy my latest titles in Europe:

Don't know if this is the one MM is referring to, but he posted a link to this site in the "Elric and Albinism" thread:
