- | ==== Style ==== | + | The family unit of a Greaseheart is typical with a husband, wife, children, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. They will usually stay in contact with each other, and children are expected to move out of the house once they come of age around 18 or 20, often dipping into their savings to give them an assist if necessary. Many Greaseheart parents will dote on the children for a few weeks after moving out, but once they demonstrate independence, |

Women usually let their hair grow long, frizzy, curly, or so heavy you'd think it needs a neck brace to stay upright. Men do not wear makeup, while women can be subtle about how it is applied, or go all out to get a rise out of their friends or the neighbours. |

==== Agriculture ==== | ==== Agriculture ==== | ||
- | > | + | Plying themselves further into the artificial side of living than the natural, Greasehearts are generally inclined away from working with the land and animals. To a lot of onlookers, what they see in Greaseheart agriculture is an understanding of all the technology and design necessary for making effective and productive gardening, but not having the intuition or fixation to make a garden grow strong and healthy. |
+ | |||
+ | Exceptions are present however, as people who yearn towards farming and nature are willing to go the whole hog - designing sprawling hydroponics solutions for growing food and materials in highly unlikely places. In addition, Greasehearts are fiercely loyal towards their domesticated pets, particularly dogs. | ||
