Physical Information
This Kiffar male's disheveled appearance strikes that of an exceptionally seasoned man, with a concrete hint of testosterone in both his gestures and his nuances. He has a full head of lustrous, thick black hair that often appears scruffy or unruly, though it has sometimes been found to be cut short in the past. Under common circumstances he bears a clean shaven face but he has often been seen with a bit of 5 o’clock shadow or a soul patch to complete his attractively rugged look. His eyes are a muted shade of grey that sometimes appears to turn to a crystal blue color when he is in or around a large body of water. His other facial features such as his nose and mouth appear to be average and at an appropriate proportion to the rest of his face. When he offers his own charming smile, he flashes a set of pearly white teeth. The rest of this Kiffar male's physical appearance appears to be average when compared to the rest of the Kiffar race, judging by their colorful history of hunting and building from the ground up with their bare hands. He looks as though he weighs roughly 205lbs* (92.9 kilograms) of solid muscle, appearing to have his muscular build refined down to a science. He stands at the above average height of 6'0"* (1.8 meters), towering slightly over many other Kiffar with a few exceptions. Additionally, some parts of his body are adorned with tattoos, including tribal markings from an unknown Kiffar clan on his chest and a bicep tattoo on either arm. The way he dresses himself ranges from plain black or white t-shirts to nicer dressy shirts, jeans or khaki pants to sweatpants to combat cargo pants, and his shoe wear ranges from comfortable shoes to combat or work boots. Most commonly though, he is found wearing a black t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans or tan khaki pants, and a pair of steel toed work boots. He sometimes wears a slug proof vest over his shirt.

Dating back hundreds of years on Kiffex, the ancestors of the great Clan Nah`utal have been closely and proudly guarding the mouth of the dense Wild Forests in the Southern lands of Kiffex. For the wildlife that lives peacefully in the thickets of the Wild Forests, they guard. For the exotic foliage and other natural beauties found within the Wilds, they guard. Against those who would seek to harm the innocence of the Wilds, they guard. Though, it is not just the innocence of the wildlife, or the diverse foliage, or the shrouds of mystery surrounding this forest that Clan Nah`utal guards. For they have also protected the Kiffar from a vile creature that dwells deep within the boundaries of the Wild Forests. Wildlings, the old legends call them. Atrocious creatures that only hunt during the night and rip Kiffar flesh straight off the bone should they reach it before being slain. To their children, they feed the skin and for themselves, they use the bones for their own clothing.
Sheyf of Clan Nah`utal and father to Draelor Nah`utal, Decessus is an old and proud Kiffar born and raised on the Kiffar homeworld of Kiffex in the Azurbani system. He had spent most of his childhood as a typical, young Kiffar male. At a young age he learned a lot about life from his father, including how to build with his bare hands, hunt for and cook the food that he consumed, and generally fend for himself in different situations. Over the years, he has passed on all of this knowledge and wisdom to his son and daughter, as well as many others in the clan he protects, making his family and his clan both exceedingly effective. He has spent all of his life on his homeworld of Kiffar, exploring the galaxy no further than the stars he sees in the night sky.
The mother of Draelor Nah`utal and another member of the leading family of Clan Nah`utal, Aethia is a kind and gentle woman who cares for her children and her clan very much. Just as a book should not be judged just by the cover that it possesses, Aethia should not be judged solely on her gentle nature as a mother to Draelor and Delilah. As most of the Kiffar are by nature, she is just as capable a hunter and warrior as any other member of the Kiffar race or Clan Nah`utal. She is known to be a fierce hunter and warrior when she needs to be, often leading hunting parties into the Wilds. On the other end of that spectrum, she is also knows how to be a woman when the situation calls for it.
Delilah, born to Decessus and Aethia, is the sister of Draelor Nah`utal and yet another member of Clan Nah`utal. She is similar to her mother in the respect that she is capable as a hunter and warrior, though she is more in tune with her feminine side in her everyday clan life and sometimes relies on her father and brother in that respect. However, her mother has taught her how to be as fierce a warrior as she is if the need ever came to light. From her mother, Delilah has also learned to respect and follow the Kiffar Gods, though she has chosen to follow Pashia as opposed to Daephyr. Even though Draelor and Delilah are years apart, they still were very close before Draelor left at the age of eighteen.
The Kiffar
The Kiffar reside on the planet Kiffex and most of them live organized in clans. Characteristically, the Kiffar living in clans have their faces tattooed to show their belonging to this clan. The clans are very often keeper of an artifact, an ancient building or other culturally important place or object. Those Kiffar that do not belong to an organized clan are referred to with the term "austerder". This also extends to other sentients outside the species and is considered for the most part derogatory. Kiffar austerders are treated with discrimination by their clanned brethren due to the circumstances usually associated with clanless Kiffar. Those that no longer have membership within a clan, or were not born into one (ie; born or adopted off world by non Kiffar, are descendants of a mixed relationship, or other circumstances), are considered second class to clanned members of the species. The hierarchy between clans is also very strict, with a distinction between major, minor, and ouvrir clans, as well as the distinction between Northern and Southern clans.
Less than 30 years ago, the already politically unstable, and for the most part primitive clans of Kiffex were brought into direct conflict in part from the urging of the intervening powers of the Black Sun, the criminal organisatoin occupying the planet and providing arms to both sides. The seething tribal conflicts however needed only a subtle urging, as they had been simmering for centuries since the semi-mythical 'Sundering of Clans'. The fighting took place for the most part between the more affluent and developing South and the traditional and isolationist Northern Clans. In the process the more central clans were either wiped out or forced to pick sides. This constant fighting eventually resulted in a waste-zone along the front, later to be called the De-militarised Zone, once a tentative peace was reached due to troop exhaustion, ill supplied troops and the withdrawal of Black Sun support for either side. The previously all-consuming civil war fizzled out rather unceremoniously. Since the end of the Civil war that split the planet's habitable territories in half between the two factions, the political climate on Kiffex has stabilized to an extent. Guided by leaders from both the north and south with an amicable professional relationship, the clans of Kiffex are no longer in a state of hostility. Instead they have put their focuses to modernization, planetary and inter-system trade, and on the subject of the planetary occupation by Black Sun.
Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery
Pre–Imperial
In recent years, there has been a concerning lack of any publically available or privately obtained information and records on the Kiffar known as Draelor Nah`utal. There has also been an interesting amount of speculating into what this inconspicuous Kiffar’s past consists of, with rumors and theories floating around him as though they were the scent of his choice cologne. For the better part of the past ten years, he has often been discovered on various surveillance feeds around the galaxy: in hotels, cantinas, nightclubs, and casinos. It has been said that this Kiffar has been attempting to fly under the radar, and barring his success, has managed to travel from place to place avoiding detection. It has also been said that he physically and mentally capable of many things, considering the rumor that he is trained as an assassin or an undercover operative. But who knows for sure? These have all been rumors and theories that have existed for years and none of them have been proven to be true. Many have asked questions about this man that very few have the answers to. Government agencies have committed various amounts of credits to attempt to discover the truth about the man’s past and in doing so, they have discovered little useful information. Companies from varying industries have been mind boggled when they discovered that their guest didn’t exist, regardless of the fact that payment was made in full at the time of the visit. Regardless of the past, there has been more and more information available on him in recent years.

OOC Note
- It is nearly impossible for a non-Kiffar to tell that Draelor Nah`utal is a Kiffar just by looking at him, because his qukuuf is not found on his face. His can be found on his chest along with two other occupational bicep tattoos on either of his arms.
