Biology and Appearance
The Kiffar are a human-like species usually with a darker complexion than many Humans and black to dark brown hair.
Roughly one in a hundred Kiffar have the ability called psychometry. This trait enables those with it to read the memories of inanimate objects (including formerly animate objects, ie corpses or cremated remains) by touch. It is not normal for this ability to grant those with it to read living sentients or animals.
Society and Culture
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 artefact, an ancient building or other culturally important place or object.
Those Kiffar that do not belong to an organised 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.
