In terms of official guild RP, the Chiss:
- Have not yet been revealed as a human offshoot. At this point in their history, it's considered a crackpot theory amongst Chiss scientists with little supporting evidence.
- Age roughly twice as fast as humans do. They reach physical maturity (adulthood) by their early teens. If a Chiss character calls him or herself 18, that means physiologically they're the equivalent of someone in their mid-30s. In RP, if a character says 18 and means 18, this can work if they are confused about their own actual age, or if they're of Chiss/human parentage. We'll assume that the skin, eyes, and anatomy is a dominant trait, whereas the human appearance is recessive.
- Have almost universally black hair, save for some instances of gray or silver. Any other hair color will be considered dye.
- Can see the infrared light spectrum. Essentially they can see in the dark, biologically.
- Have only been seen by the majority of the galaxy for around the past 10-15 years, certainly less than 20. The current date is 14 years After the Treaty of Coruscant.
- Come from a society that frowns on outward displays of emotions unless in the company of family or close friends.
- Originate from Csilla, but may be from one of the other planets in the Path of Houses.
- (if from a military background, either CEDF or Imperial Intelligence) are most likely a part of House Nuruodo, from Naporar.
- May be from either a commonner family, or one of the 12 Ruling Families. At this point in history, each House is responsible for a different government function:
- Nuruodo: Military. Eventually (not during our timeline) absorbs the functions of all families listed below. Based on planet Naporar.
- Mitth Family: Naval Engineering. Based on planet Copero.
- Chaf Family: Foreign Affairs. Based on planet Sarvchi.
- Mitth Family: Naval Engineering. Based on planet Copero.
- Csapala: Colonial Affairs. Eventually (not during our timeline) absorbs the functions of all families listed below. Based on planet Cioral.
- Unidentified Family: Agriculture
- Unidentified Family: Resource Management
- Inrokini: Non-military Science. Eventually (not during our timeline) absorbs the functions of all families listed below. Based on planet Csaus.
- Unidentified Family: Communications
- Unidentified Family: Industry
- Sabosen: Justice/Law and Order. Eventually (not during our timeline) absorbs the functions of all families listed below. Based on planet Sposia.
- Unidentified Family: Health
- Unidentified Family: Education
- Nuruodo: Military. Eventually (not during our timeline) absorbs the functions of all families listed below. Based on planet Naporar.
- Possess unique vocal apparatus enabling them to speak Cheunh, and are in general able to learn other languages fairly easily. Cheunh cannot be properly pronounced by non-Chiss.
