Kilates are a race of aliens that came to Earth thousands of years ago after their home planet was destroyed when their sun expanded. The planet had been a desert, though soon their sun grew cold and so did the planet. Many died or left, but eventually they adapted to the loss of heat and light.
Their appearance is very similar to a Human, key differences being the pointed ears sticking out from their head, and the furry, monkey-like tails they have until they are about 16 in Kilate years (These are the same color as their hair). They live for thousands of years, as 200 of our years equals 1 of theirs. However, they do not appear to age much after reaching adulthood, staying that way until they become very old.
Due to the climate of their planet, Kilates have a sensitivity to bright light and muchly prefer dark rooms. They also have a near immunity to extreme cold, unless afflicted by a certain disease that makes them unable to handle such temperatures.
They have their own language, both written and spoken, though most have learned to speak Human language. However, due to their native tongue, they do not use contractions. (For example, they would say "I am" and not "I'm")
Dragons and Foxes are like sacred animals to the Kilates, something they look up to and respect. There are a number of Shimi, or dragons, that 'look after' certain individuals. Mozagon/Mazogon, both words for fox, are protectors and gaurdians.
