[edit] Jaan

[edit] Personality

The Jaan(jawn)are somewhat of a sneaky, impulsive race with a sense for adventure. Many Jaan exhibit a childlike nature even in old age. They have no word for shame or modesty so many times a conversation with the Jaan can lead to violent outbreaks between both parties. When shown something new a Jaan will typically give great concetration and intrest in it until he gets bored. Jaan are also a bit attention deficite. This is apparent when viewing some of their building. Most are unfinished or halfway done. Roads tend to end in dirt paths and the only reason their ships work is that they do not get bored building ships.

[edit] Physical Description

Jaan are a humanoid-feline race. They stand anywhere between 5 and 7 feet tall. They have fur that ranges in color between green and yellow, and can have any variety of markings. Their eyes are usually blue, yellow, or deep purple. They have tails and walk on the balls of their feet as earth cats do but upright instead.

[edit] Relations

Jaan are somewhat compulsive and like to meet new races. However they are easily offended and hold grudges even through several generations.
