Very WIP, will update and flesh out once roll is done [h1][center]Co-Harmonious State of Ipetam[/center][/h1] [b]Government:[/b] Feudal Monarchy with elements of a parliamentary system. [b]Species:[/b] [u][i]Oni:[/i][/u] [hider=Oni] Oni, also known as the Petanese by outsiders, are the indigenous inhabitants of the island of Sat Mosir. In terms of their general body plan, Oni resemble other humanoid species, save for their trait of having a much more robust build, and the presence of horns and elongated carnasile teeth. While stronger than a base human by a noticable degree, the evolution of warfare has rendered the battlefield quite level between man and Oni, though they maintain the notible advantage of being quite intimating with their orge-like features and greater stature (male oni stand at a range of 6'2" to 6'6" on average, with females at roughly the same average height.) Oni have a distinct trait of having a wide variety of skin colors caused by various mixes of skin pigments, which forms the basis of a form of social stratification in Oni society. [/hider] [b]Culture:[/b] The culture of the Oni is highly stratified, based on a rigid caste system based on factors of one's skin color, sex, and family clan affiliation. Oni society is highly matriarchal, and built upon very strict, rigid gender roles. The center of Oni society is their Empress, who is supported by the clans, which are her personal property. Oni society mirrors this on a small scale, in which the head of an Oni household is the matriarch, who has full authority over her husband and children. Men are expected to serve as obedient husbands, and to know their place as labors who provide for their wives as the clans provide for their queen. Marriages in Oni society act more as purchases than ceremonies of love, and in fact, a marriage is in essence and legally little different from the purchase of a slave, where a woman formally buys a man from his mother. While men act as laborers, women typically occupy positions of both 'intellectual labor', acting as scholars, merchants, priestesses, etc depending on their social caste, as well as acting as voting members of their clan diet, which passes clan ordiences, and communicate with their overlord, who reports to the senate, who give input to the queen. Oni caste depends upon skin color, with society being structured in a 6 tier hierarchy. Black Skin Oni: Black Oni make up about 1% of the population, serving as the political organ of the empire. They work as political workers, with the men serving as bureaucrats who deal with people directly, such as tax collectors and other such civil servants. Men from this caste may also be castrated and serve the Empress directly as her personal eunuchs. Women server as either direct governers, or political figures such as advisors or heads of development projects. The highest of the Black Oni are the Imperial Family. Blue Oni: Blue Oni act as the religious caste, with the men serving as the laborers of the monastic temples where the Priesthood make their homes, while the women work carrying oit their elaborate rituals to their two gods, and acting as philosophers, theologians, as well as astrologers, court diviners, and jobs such as chemists, astronomers, physicists, and any kind of work with higher mathematics. Red Oni: The Red Oni act as the designated military caste, being sort of a middle ground, acting as very low level administrators such as mayors or lords of small defensive fiefs. Men actually work as foot soldiers and other such direct combat work, while the women work in strategy and logistical work. Yellow Oni: Yellow Oni serve as craftsmen and other such professions. Men work in factories, and in manual labor such as as masons and in metallurgy work. Women serve in work such as architecture, or running the factories where goods are produced. Green Oni: Farmers and other such agricultural workers, the men serve essentially purely as farmers, while the women have a position as merchants and business managerss White Oni: Essentially the outcasts of society, these people are used for undignified labor such as waste and trash disposal, the slaughter of animals, as cleaners and for low level menial labor considered undesirable or improper for others castes to carry out. They also work in jobs related to death, such as grave diggers, morticians, as well as in medical work, as doctors. As well, the caste is often utilized for prostitution and other forms of sex work for the benefit of others castes, and as a result typically find work as actors and musicians.
