 The way to be fashionable is to look cool. Hard-wearing materials such as denim, canvas, and leather are common materials, worn as jeans, jackets, alongside metal for accents and decoration. For accessories, Greasehearts always have a nice pair of shades on them, and often wear them indoors. Earrings and fingerless gloves are also common. The way to be fashionable is to look cool.

-Piloting and racing suits are also considered proper good looking attire, covered with embroidered patterns and patches from spaceports all over the galaxy. Above all else in Greaseheart looks, colours must be **bold**. Pastels, tertiaries, and gentle shades are rare, but neon gradients are frequent.+Piloting and racing suits are also considered proper good looking attire, covered with embroidered patterns and patches from spaceports all over the galaxy. Above all else in Greaseheart looks, colours must be **bold**. Pastels, tertiaries, and gentle shades are rare, but neon gradients are frequent, especially if they contrast.

-In general, Greasehearts are drawn to finding new ways to go fast: They enjoy using combustion engines where possible, but are not impartial to using antimatter or plasma. Their love of all things mechanical also extends into designing ballistic and energy small arms, and powered suits. In addition, Greasehearts are responsible for pushing aerospace and spaceflight research and development into new horizons.+In general, Greasehearts are drawn to finding new ways to go fast or do things faster: They enjoy using combustion engines where possible, but are not impartial to using antimatter or plasma.

 +Greaseheart Psions are uncommon, but highly valued for their instinctual understanding of complex mechanics and the mathematics involved. Greaseheart psions are often nicknamed blackfingers, and often find gainful employment in mechanics and machinist's. However, their changed perspective on how they view the world makes interacting with them difficult, and talking to them about subjects beyond how things work often bores them.

->What is the commonly shared belief system through the species?+There are a small number of Gods in Greaseheart culture, the most famous of them being the **Velocian, Lady of Acceleration**, a Goddess of travel, achieving ludicrous speeds, and the patron of mechanics and machinists throughout the galaxy. It isn't uncommon to see her likeliness on the wall of a reputable mechanic's shop in the form of an elaborate mural, or the cut out centrefold of a racy magazine portraying a model in her image. 
 + 
 +Alongside the Lady of Acceleration is the **Din, God of Noise and Light**, patron of musicians and revheads alike. They are also called the 'get out of the way' god, as an abundance of noise and light is usually a signal to run. Din takes the form of a headless man with a ball of blindingly bright light where his head should be. He is often depicted carrying or standing alongside musical instruments, revving engines, firearms, or other noisy items. 
 + 
 +In addition, mechanical troubles are usually blamed on **Gremlins**, mischievous little imp-like creatures responsible for messing up projects by moving tools around and damaging mechanical parts at inopportune moments. Greasehearts who don't pay the superstitions any mind usually attribute gremlins to a lack of rigorous maintenance and carelessness on the mechanic's part.
