-The [[faction:kingdom_of_neshaten|Neshaten]], despite being composed of two separate, distinct races, actually have a shared and stable culture. They are over-protective of their children, due to a Kit being both physically and mentally weak in the early stages of life.

 ===== Chivalry ===== ===== Chivalry =====
  
-The Neshaten pride themselves on chivalry, always showing respect for those they fight or even their enemies, amongst other things. It's uncommon to find a Neshaten spitting on the body of another, or disrespecting the dead. In fact, doing so brings dishonor to not only the person but also their family. +The Neshaten pride themselves on chivalry, always showing respect for those they fight or even for their enemies, among other things.

 ===== Family Life ===== ===== Family Life =====
  
-In the Neshaten, all families possess some kind of trade, whether it's agriculture, industrial, or teaching, or any other type of a field that is beneficial to the Kingdom. Families that in a trade can compete with others to sell their products, or they can combine their trades to create a business that benefits both. However, otherwise, family life is something sacred to the Neshaten, and they pride themselves on providing for their loved ones. +In the Neshaten, all families possess some kind of trade, whether it's agricultural, industrial, or teaching, or any other type of a field that is beneficial to the Kingdom.

However, otherwise, family life is something sacred to the Neshaten, and they pride themselves on providing for their loved ones. 
  
-When two families decide to 'join together' they are no longer considered one family, but are now considered a combination of the two. There are two different forms of this blending, one is known as //Qua'na'tra'na// while another is known as //Lua'na'frase'na//. +When two families decide to join together they are no longer considered one family, but are now considered a combination of the two.

-In the Neshaten Society, when two families decide to merge their resources together, they form one seperate family. When this happens, the last names of both families are combined into one, to show the blending of the two together. In order for this blending to be allowed, all members of the family who are of age must agree, if even 'one' person disagrees, then the merging can't happen until that person is convinced. In short, there has to be a lot of trust between the two for it to work.+In the Neshaten Society, when two families decide to merge their resources together, they form one separate family.

 Qua'na'tra'na Families have much more resources available to them and thus can afford to live in more lavish surroundings or even make their trades easier to handle. Inter-family marriage is possible, unlike in a Lua'na'frase'na Family. Qua'na'tra'na Families have much more resources available to them and thus can afford to live in more lavish surroundings or even make their trades easier to handle.

-A Lua'na'frase'na Family resembles a Qua'na'tra'na famliy only in most aspects, except one: Anyone who is married has their marrieges annulled. This means that a Lua'na'frase'na family has no married couples in it, though marriage can still happen, it can only occur to another family that isn't apart of the main. The reason this is done is because it actually makes it easier on the family to handle matters without the worry of married relationships geting involved, however, this also makes this the most rarest form of the two blendings due to family life being most charished. The only families that really enter into this kind of a blending are those who are already not married. Married families are often ill-advised to enter into this blending.+A Lua'na'frase'na Family resembles a Qua'na'tra'na family only in most aspects, except one: Anyone who is married has their marriages annulled.

Line 29: Line 29:
 When the Neshaten settled their new world, they still held onto their old system of harsh punishments for criminals, but this kind of punishment came with its set of problems. When a person was sentenced to prison, they were often treated better than those who were homeless and in shelters, trying to fend for themselves in a world where imprisoned criminals were treated better. When the Neshaten settled their new world, they still held onto their old system of harsh punishments for criminals, but this kind of punishment came with its set of problems.

-In the twenty seventh year of the [[faction:neshaten:history#the_rebuilding_the_era_of_restart|Era of Restart]], this system was reformed and shifted to be more harsh than the previous. Their new system results in low crime, due to harsh punishment that govern things as petty as muggings. Neshaten, due to their honour-bound and chivalrous nature, have a great dislike out of anyone attacking the elderly or the young and any Neshaten found doing so is often executed for this crime. It's viewed that, if a citizen has very little care for their fellow citizen, then they have nothing to contribute to society and because the Monarch see's no reasons to make their citizens pay for another citizens crime, such as paying for a Neshaten's prison stay, then its best they be executed.+In the twenty seventh year of the [[faction:neshaten:history#the_rebuilding_the_era_of_restart|Era of Restart]], this system was reformed and shifted to be more harsh than the previous.

 On occasion, however, execution isn't done. Circumstances play important roles here, very serious crimes such as murder, sexual assault, and anything related to harming the elderly or the young, are considered serious enough offenses to warrant the death penalty and thus execution. However, citizens that perform petty stuff such as robbery, muggings, or theft are often treated to a long stay in prison with the bare minimum to survive. They are used as a labor force, cleaning up trash that sometimes accumulates in the streets or in the wilderness from Neshaten who have become careless. This labor force is also used to tackle very dangerous jobs that the Monarch wouldn't want to put their law-abiding citizens through. On occasion, however, execution isn't done.

 Another form of punishment, one that many Neshaten consider to be a fate worse than death, is Exile. Exile is so rare, that there haven't been any reported cases of a person being exiled, but the measure is still there. Exile is a fate reserved for those who have betrayed the Kingdom as a whole.  Another form of punishment, one that many Neshaten consider to be a fate worse than death, is Exile.

-One form of justice is actually one that isn't done by the justice department, but rather, as a way of settling disputes. When one Neshaten has a problem with another, depending on what kind of a problem it is, one of the two can challenge another to a duel. This is considered honour-bound, if the Neshaten doesn't respond to the challenge, they may lose honour with those around them. On the other hand, it's not considered honourable to challenge a Kit or Elderly preson, but if a Kit or the Elder accepts the challenge and wins, then the honour of the person who initiated the challenge suffers greatly. +One form of justice is actually one that isn't done by the justice department, but rather, as a way of settling disputes.

-Skyscrapers, while they exist, are restricted to most central areas of a city. Because of the problems experienced by the Neshaten on their world, their structures are heavily reinforced with steel and other forms of materials to streaghten them from earthquakes. Also, most structures have skylights or utilize some form of a clean energy to provide power during the lively night hours.

 Once every two years, a Neshaten citizen celebrates their 'birthday' or the year that they were born. There are two reasons for this, the first is because they age at a slow rate, but the second has to do with tradition. They don't view the revolution around a planet as evidence of them 'aging' or growing, but rather through the number of seasons. A person thus ages once every six seasons, or every two years.  Once every two years, a Neshaten citizen celebrates their 'birthday' or the year that they were born.

This is an even compromise, favoring both Neshaten who prefer melee and to those few who also prefer firearms.
  
 This kind of orientation doesn't effect the My'leke due to them requiring weapon modules, but some of their modules are melee centric.  This kind of orientation doesn't effect the My'leke due to them requiring weapon modules, but some of their modules are melee centric.

 Throughout their history the Neshaten have both embraced and banished the belief in a higher power, this often times came from activities or events where people generally believed that if god existed he or she wouldn't have allowed said events to occur. Some such events include the civil war that nearly tore their race to pieces, and then the Great War, that nearly lead to their extinction.  Throughout their history the Neshaten have both embraced and banished the belief in a higher power, this often times came from activities or events where people generally believed that if god existed he or she wouldn't have allowed said events to occur.

-However, when the Neshaten's resettled, many of them realized that they probably only survived due to someone else watching over them. Thus, religion had taken a new turn and had been reembraced by the Neshaten once again. They worship The God of Chivalry, a women named Chilerious, with their religion known as //[[faction:neshaten:religion|Kurieste]]//. Although it's optional for a person to worship Chilerious, most Neshaten do. +However, when the Neshaten's resettled, many of them realized that they probably only survived due to someone else watching over them.

 The God of Chivalry came about during the Medevial Era, and appeared after the Shukaren and My'leke joined as one. Although history of the time is scattered, Chilerious was a women who helped prevent a war between the My'leke and Shukaren, she was killed during the first - and only - skirmish between the two races when she gave her life stopping the battle. Since then, she's been honoured as the God of Chivalry and been worshipped since. The God of Chivalry came about during the Medevial Era, and appeared after the Shukaren and My'leke joined as one.

-Honouring the dead is something a Neshaten always does when a fellow companion dies, they errect shrines to honour those who have fallen. A shrine can be erected either for a single person, or a squad of soldiers who perished in battle. The shrines are considered sacred, and defacing one can carry a fact worse than death.+Honoring the dead is something a Neshaten always does when a fellow companion dies, they erect shrines to honor those who have fallen.

-Levcrosis Sword STyle is a style meant entirely for attacking and can be used with one or two swords. The style is treasured by many Neshaten as a gladatorial art, however it is a very hard and even dangerous style to train in due to some of the advanced movements requiring the usage of two swords. This style is often trained by experts, and is taught in the military to high ranking Agents and Swordmasters. +Levcrosis Sword Style is a style meant entirely for attacking and can be used with one or two swords.

-Found predominately in the military, the Krotaya style is used for weapons that have a bladed attachment and is intended for offensive usage. The Krotaya style teaches a person how to properly use a melee weapon that is attached to a blade, but also, teaches them how to fire their weapon that blade is attached. This style is 'not' compatible with all types of weapons, however. Dagger and Knive attachments are excellent for this style - however - long sword attachments or even axe based ones are not as both are to unwieldly and depend more on the users strength than the style they were taught.+Found predominately in the military, the Krotaya style is used for weapons that have a bladed attachment and is intended for offensive usage.

-Curan is a unique style, favored by the upper class and intended entirely for sport, it's a style that is not intended for causing harm but merely for perrying and attacking a person's actual weapon and not the skin or armor that they may wear. Most users of this style use a blunt weapon, such as a training sword, and thus this style is also used by new users of the sword and is typically the first style learned by children. +Curan is a unique style, favored by the upper class and intended entirely for sport, it's a style that is not intended for causing harm but merely for parrying and attacking a person's actual weapon and not the skin or armor that they may wear.

-A controversal style by most, and downright despised by few, the Kentrolas style was designed to be brutal, efficent, and deadly. Basic foot work, along with how to wield a blade and to strike without wasting any energy, is taught. A person is trained never to use more energy than needed, but to also, never waste that energy in an attack that may not hit or do much damage. +A controversial style by most, and downright despised by few, the Kentrolas style was designed to be brutal, efficient, and deadly.
