Hello, and welcome to the Cizerack Pride. We are a roleplaying group at a Star Wars roleplaying board called SWFans.
This FAQ will help answer questions about who the Cizerack are, what they're about, how to get involved, and other details. I hope you find it useful.

<font size=3>What are the Cizerack?</font>
1. What do the Cizerack look like?
The Cizerack are a race of feline humanoids, or felinoids. They look exactly like humans, except for a few differences. They have prehensile tails, retractible claws on their fingers and toes, elongated and sharp canine teeth, amazingly blue eyes with vertical slit pupils (like cats eyes) and skin pigment patterns that look like stripes on a tiger. Also like cats, they have very rough tongues. Their ears are quite elongated versions of cat ears, and can "flutter" and move accordingly. Their eyebrows are a "little" thicker than our own, but aside from that, its the only real difference in body hair. Cizeracks do not have fur. As far as their skin tones, they can range anywhere from cream-colored to grey, to nearly ebony, but are usually a good cocoa brown. Hair colors vary widely as well. Common hair colors are shades of brown, black, blonde, and most common is a platinum blonde. Red-heads are also possible, but not common. Their physiques are always well-toned, with a low percentage of body fat.
2. What physical characteristics do Cizerack have?
Cizerack are fast, strong, and lithe. On average, a Cizerack is four times as strong as a human being, and twice as fast. Their senses are heightened as well, with sight, smell, and hearing exceeding human standards. Other senses are equal in comparison. Like all other felines, Cizerack are carnivores, and like most big cats, they are apex predators, preferring large, live prey on a general basis. They can consume cooked meat and other foods, but find them generally less palatable. Due to Cizerack neurophysiology, the Cizerack cannot use the Force.
3. What is Cizerack society like?
Cizerack society is a strict racist/matriarchal aristocracy, with rigid castes determined not only by gender, but by race. Females are always superior to males, and purebloods have a slight seniority over mixed breeds and alien species. As a rule, males cannot vote, own property, learn to read, get a paying job, go to school, or have any other basic rights. They are essentially property, subservient to a female.

1. What can/can't I do with a Cizerack character?
As stated before, the Cizerack are force-blind as a whole. This means that any character with Cizerack blood cannot play Jedi, Sith, or Dark Jedi. However, there are several areas suited for them, which can be expanded on.
Females
Females can be businesswomen, leaders in politics, or other positions of power. Any position that requires shrewdness, intellect, and a little bit of brawn. Also good choices are military commanders, bounty huntresses, and mercenaries. Cizerack culture demonizes pirates and criminals, although there can be "bad apples" nevertheless.
Males
Males are strictly forbidden education in Cizerack culture. This restricts their abilities somewhat. Males can be manservants, infantry troops, and can sometimes use their brute strength in bounty hunting, with their mistress. Generally aimless, these characters need "female guidance" most of the time.
2. The accent
You have probably noticed the Cizerack accent. Its the result of the feline species attempting to speak a very strange and clipped language, Basic. The native Cizerack tongue is very "purry", flowing and melodic. They have no spaces in their sentences, but words are separated by accents. Here's an example:
"Saajee'arrou'taarri'sssou'"
Of course nobody knows what that means, so if you do decide to speak that...you'll have to make something up as you go. But when the Cizerack do speak Basic, they have 2 ways of doing it. One way is for full-bloods, and another way is for half-breeds.
Full blood method
Every instance of "i" or "y" is written as "ji" and "jy", respectively. Every instance of "r" and "s" come out as "rrr" and "sss". So:
The lazjy brrrown fox rrrunsss qujickljy.
Half blood method
Every instance of "i" is written as "ji". Every instance of "r" is written as "rrr". So:
The lazy brrrown fox rrruns qujickly.
