Ken Reeg (TCM)

The Ken Reeg appear to be a genetically altered derivative of the human race. While most scholars agree that this is so, the Ken Reeg themselves steadfastly maintain that they are a naturally evolved and separate race, and that any resemblance to humanity is merely coincidental.
Ken Reeg have a reputation for being good with numbers and rules. They are frequently found in the casinos and gambling dens of innumerable worlds, as well as the fields of law and accounting. It is said that the only thing more terrifying than a Ken Reeg gambler is a Ken Reeg accountant.
== Society ==
Most Ken Reeg have two separate aspects to their personalty: the face and the name. According to Ken Reeg custom, the face is what you present to those you don't fully trust, and although Ken Reeg are often exceedingly friendly to people they just met, they are slow to trust.
A Ken Reeg's face is his outward demeanor; how he presents himself in public. Typically, this includes an air of respectability, a hard work ethic, and a willingness to get the job done. The name, on the other hand, is the facet of the Ken Reeg's personality that only his inner circle, those he truly trusts, sees. Some Ken Reeg never share their name with anyone, not even their families.
This slowness to trust is so culturally ingrained that the Ken Reeg language, Reegi, is known almost exclusively to Ken Reeg. Sharing the Reegi language with non-Ken Reeg is, in fact, considered grounds for social ostracism and enormous loss of status. The secrecy surrounding the language is so great that most people believe that Ken Reeg use Basic as their native language and have no language of their own.
