 **Patricians** are the social, physical, and intellectual elites of Elysian society. They are extremely physically strong, many are even strong enough to fly. Elysian society moves and aligns at the whim of the Patrician minority, a long-standing reality due to both tradition and religion. Being pure-blooded 'Elysian', Patricians naturally dominate over the multitudes of lesser, impure Elysians. Playing a Patrician is reserved for experienced players, and requires [[guide:game_master]] permission. **Patricians** are the social, physical, and intellectual elites of Elysian society.

-**Caelisolans** are a genetically engineered replacement for the Plebeian subspecies. As an effort to eliminate "impure" blood from the Elysian genome, [[faction:elysia:society:government:senate]] started a sweeping program to transfer the souls of all Plebeians into Caelisolan bodies by [[calendar:YE 32]]. The project was mostly completed, however logistical difficulties caused by the invasion of the NMX and cost overruns kept it from affecting certain Plebeian elements until YE 34. Though not as strong as the Patrician body, many Caelisolans are capable of flight, and a few of the "defective" human traits that plagued many Plebeians have been removed. Caelisolan bodies are very common, and are the ideal "player character" body for Elysians.+**Caelisolans** are a genetically engineered replacement for the Plebeian subspecies.

 **Plebeians** were the social underbelly of Elysian society. Relegated to the lower rungs of the social, political, and military ladder because of impure alien blood, Plebeians are seen by outsiders as downtrodden and neglected, but rarely saw themselves as such. Plebeians, like Patricians, largely saw their servitude as natural - decades, even centuries, of tradition have ensured as much.  **Plebeians** were the social underbelly of Elysian society.

 Patricians are most often very proud of their familial history, and usually know every member of their family for several generations back. Though Elysian society is focused around the merit of the individual, it is hardly above taking pride in the merit of those closely related to the individual. It is extremely rare for a Patrician to have ever experienced poverty, though many have experienced combat and personal loss during the Heavenly Wars. Patricians are most often very proud of their familial history, and usually know every member of their family for several generations back.

-Caelisolans sometimes know a good deal about their family history, but usually don't learn anything beyond their immediate family unit. As until recently, Caelisolans were often caught in a very hopeless situation before switching to their new bodies, such luxuries as tracing one's family back for fifteen generations rarely existed. In the past, Plebeians rarely had money, typically living in abject poverty and often without sufficient food. Though poverty is still far from uncommon among Caelisolans today, starvation was all but erased a few years past thanks to the introduction of [[faction:elysia:culture:food:psomi]].+Caelisolans sometimes know a good deal about their family history, but usually don't learn anything beyond their immediate family unit.

 Plebeians, being almost completely converted to Caelisolan bodies, have the same familial structure as Caelisolans, though those left in Plebeian bodies are mostly not the kind of people who would care overly much. Plebeians, being almost completely converted to Caelisolan bodies, have the same familial structure as Caelisolans, though those left in Plebeian bodies are mostly not the kind of people who would care overly much.

-Patricians may work for [[faction:elysia:society:government:senate]] as senators, diplomats, aides, or researchers. Patricians, like all Elysians, are permitted to join the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]], however, since the merger of the [[faction:elysia:military:navy]] and the Star Army, many Patricians find military service to be distasteful: Patrician pride doesn't mesh well with subservience to [[species:nekovalkyrja]], though many remain employed in the combined fleets as well as the primarily Elysian. Civilian Patricians are almost always self-employed, running the show with a number of Caesolian/Plebian employees, though their businesses are becoming more integrated with the rest of the Yamataian Empire.+Patricians may work for [[faction:elysia:government:senate]] as senators, diplomats, aides, or researchers.

-Caelisolans may work for [[faction:elysia:society:government:senate]] in any of the same roles as Patricians. Caelisolans may also join the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]], and are far more likely to be found in the Star Army than Patricians or Plebeians - Caelisolans are more physically capable than Plebeians and easier able to meet specifications, but lack the prideful disdain for serving others common to Patricians. Civilian Caelisolans are sometimes self-employed, though usually serve the same role as Plebeians used to - working under the employ of a successful Patrician. While Caelisolans have rights and advantages that Plebeians did not, the social attitude is often much the same.+Caelisolans may work for [[faction:elysia:government:senate]] in any of the same roles as Patricians.

 What Plebeians are left are usually found in the same jobs as they used to hold, if they're still a part of the Elysian "nation" and not incarcerated. Outside of the Elysian nation, they still tend towards the more menial labors. What Plebeians are left are usually found in the same jobs as they used to hold, if they're still a part of the Elysian "nation" and not incarcerated.
