Kel Dor, just remember a few societal traits as well. Such as they have a strong since of right and wrong to the point of black n white view of things for the most part. They believe in the death penalty and when it comes to seeing someone commit a crime they believe it is everyones duty to step in and stop it and to dole out punishment. So their not usually big fans of the justice system as they believe it shouldn't be needed exept in special situations, otherwise let the people stop the lawbreaker and punish him if need be.
That is all that comes to mind unless you where thinking about making a force using Kel Dor, then there are a few other interesting points which I might recommend. Best of luck and well wishes!

ALright that is what my character is, he is a male Kel Dor Assassin, and I have him revealing why he became an assassin soon. What you said will factor in, as do the Baron Do sages.

Well, since you know the name I'll take a wild guess that you know as much about this temporally minded force group, that focuses more on the when, as I do. If you need more information just let me know, and best of luck with your revelations

I don't mean to go back to the past, but I don't think LightWarden put anything in his contributions about Kiffars. As far as I know, which isn't really that much, they are the only species that can breed with humans. This is shown with Boba Fett's and a Kiffar, Sintas vel's offspring Ailyn Vel.

Yes, I know they can "interbreed", but I have yet to see anything that truly convinces me that the Kiffar are a biologically separate species, rather than humans with weird genetic mutation found in every hundred and a propensity for tattoos and dreadlocks. Perhaps we should ask Mr. Ostrander about it, and figure it out. Then again, Wookieepedia classifies Hapans as "Near-Humans", even though they're humans with a genetic history of night blindness and attractive ancestors. Considering that sort of thing can happen on Earth and we don't jettison people from the gene pool, I really think that the "Near-Human" tree needs pruning. It's like saying that Great Danes are larger and stronger than your average Labrador Retriever, so therefore are "Near-Dogs" (or calling certain ethnic groups "Near-Humans" if you want to get racier).
About the only species I know of that seem to be clearly not actually a human and still capable of breeding with humans is the Theelin species, who seem to possess the dumbest genetic code in the galaxy. It apparently mutated to the point where they were capable of breeding with other species, but not with other Theelin, though the hybrids usually had a high rate of infant mortality, so the original species pretty much dies out (and probably dilutes itself into oblivion afterwards, because even if you make it a point of breeding Human/Theelin with Human/Theelin, you probably won't have a large enough sample to create a stable genetic stock, and anything that doesn't match will only dilute the line further).
For some reason, apparently Miraluka can interbreed with humans and produce fully functioning offspring as demonstrated by Krynda Draay, who successfully became the ubermensch with both Miraluka sight and normal eyes, giving her super seer powers (instead of just, you know, learning). And now the fanboys have more ammo to make super characters of incredibly gifted bloodlines (seriously, they're everywhere on the fanon wiki. Everyone's special and important and has the world on a platter).

sorry to boteverybody with this, but one of my players has pushed me to my limit. does anyone know the racial stats of a mandalorian, or am i right they are near-human, like forceless Miraluka??? I know Miraluka are able to breed with humans, but that doesn't make too much difference in anything, i guess...

I've always taken it that Mandalorian is not exactly a race, more like a group, a clan. It is to my knowledge that there are many species that make up the Mandalorians, not just humans. Check the Mandalorian Wookieepedia page for more info.
Also, I would think that this thread is not for this type of question. Perhaps the Character Design Guild would suit better. I've alway thought this thread was for the sole purpose of posting Tips, not asking questions. I could be wrong though.

Actually any race classified as "Near-human" or near-human enough can produce offspring with a human.
