I'll have to go back and re-read for the third time THE ROOKIE

"... a blue-skinned native of Baker 6..."

Dang, I was hoping to draw this out and have a little fun! :p

In epsode 2 (10:57) of The Rookie, there is a reference made by Quentin about the blue sknned women from Baker 6.  I don't remember the reference to Satrli 6, ether but it's been a whlie...either way, I don't think that quite answers the question about his race.  For instance, Quentin grew up on Micovi VI but he's consdered a Human from the Purist Nation.  It is possible that Pine is some type of derivation of human or another species with his home planet being Baker 6.  Interesting...may require some more research or an FDO intervention.

It's still  a little roughand I didn't want to go into TOO much detail but here is the revised version of the Donald Pine Siglerpedia entry:

http://www.scottsigler.com/wiki/index.php/Donald_Pine

so chaper 6 (17:34) of the Rookie confirms Pine is a blue skinned human.  Guess I made it more complex than it actually was!

The blue skin could be a evolutionary change due to a different sun with a different spectrum. Or a food source thing, there is a real human that turned himself blue because of his diet. check this out http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t38/michelle_richard/tdy_snyderman_blue_080107300w.jpg

Maybe blue skinned humans are descendants of criminals that had their skin color altered as punishment for their crimes, ala Red Man.  Maybe the coloring mutated and became part of the genetic makeup of some humans, causing their offspring to also have the skin coloration, then passing it down from generation to generation.

Tower Republic folks (all lacking pigment), Baker 6 (Blue skin) and some other amphibious human line... sounds like it could have been environmental, but I cant rule out genetics, either through breeding, or genetic altering either.  Considering that League of Planets is highly science/tech driven, genetic altering may be the ticket.

I think Jayguana and Kevinesque are going down the right path with the differences being evolutionary based on environmental differences or purposeful genetic altering.  There's a lot of direction about the evolution of the Quyth in The Rookie but some of these other races aren't as well fleshed out.  I think we may have to wait for The Starter for more answers!

called Hereditary Methemoglobinemia that makes the skin appear blue.  Taught about this in my genetics class.  Here is an article http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyperry3/Blue_Fugates_Troublesome_Creek.html

Electromagnetism is a form of radiation. Light is a form of radiant energy. Factually its a genetic thing I believe. But it could be a favorable adaption over time. Or forced engineering.

If I had more confidence in getting the right information I'd help with all the wiki-ing. Good job to those who are, though. ^^
