Being a Ceriton means many things, first and foremost being that they are not Human, but an alien race from the planet of the same name. They are capable of shape shifting, changing size and appearance, as well as changing from a humanoid form to that of the feline persuasion. The natural form (and also the most indicative that you are in the prescense of one) would be the state at which they are 2 or 3 times the size of an average Human being.

The race is able to instantaneously transport from one place to another over great distances, without the use of technology. They tend to mate for life, and to be jealous and aggressive. Mating is done ONLY with a kiss on the lips, and always results in either a single child or a litter. They are capable of mating with Humans, in the same way as with each other. While kissing will "mate" a ceriton with either human or ceriton, sexual intercourse will not "mate" but can still produce children, although there is no guarantee that it will.

The planet Ceriton is led by a Monarchy, and they as a race have a lifespan that at least doubles that of humans.
