Cerean

Cereans were a sophisticated and cultured humanoid mammalian species that hailed from the planet Cerea in the Mid Rim. They had tall tapering heads, which housed large binary brains, enabling them to focus on many things at the same time. Aside from this unique feature, Cereans were physically similar to Humans, although they possessed an extra heart, which supplied extra blood circulation to support their brains.

Cerean males aged more quickly than the females, who had similar lifespans to Humans. Thus, there were fewer males than females. Polygamous marriage was a necessity in order for the species to survive. Each male usually had one primary "bond-wife", and between four and ten "honor-wives".

Famous for their extraordinary thinking abilities, Cereans were often found among the ranks of the Jedi Knights, being exempt from the Jedi's vow of celibacy, due to their low birth rates.

Playing a Cerean
Cereans come from a remote utopian world. Most Cereans are peaceful, following farming traditions that date back thousands of years. The species includes more females than males, and Cerean society is matriachal. Their high-domed heads hold binary brains, and two heart beat in a Cerean's chest. With a nonaggressive heritage, it is only rarely that a Cerean developes the desire to adventure, and even more rare that one takes up the robes of a Jedi Knight.

Personality
Cereans tend to be calm, rational, and extremely logical.

Physical Desciption
Cereans average about 2 meters tall with elongated craniums. They have a maturity rate and life span similar to Humans.

Example Names
Ki-Adi, So Leet, Sylvn, Ti-Dal, Maj-Odo

Adventurers
Cereans who become adventurers do so in direct contradiction to their traditions and beliefs. Even so, whena cause or situation turns a Cerean to this path, he or she tries to approach life with as manyof the Cerean beliefs intact as possible. Aggression should be the last resort after all peaceful solutions are attempted, for example. The binary brain allows for a Cerean to constanly wiegh both sides in any disagreement and give two points of view equal consideration. This ability extends even to issues surrounding the Force, and a Cerean Force-user often contemplates the light and dark side simultaneously
