 === Architecture & Aesthetics === === Architecture & Aesthetics ===
->How do they construct things? What do they construct them like?  +Mindeyes prefer [[wp>High-tech_architecture|Structural Expressionist]] and [[wp>Bauhaus]] architecture, but failing that will settle for anything with clean lines and a simple shape. The most key element to a Mindeye's home is a meditation space, somewhere they can truly focus and isolate themselves. As such, homes tend to flow around such a space when smaller or completely isolate them when large space is available.
 ==== Technology ==== ==== Technology ====
->What is the culture's main draw? What do they like using?+Mindeyes have sleek designs with very light colouration (usually at most a pastel palette) that seem very impressive to the eye. Unfortunately, their dedication to faux-minimalism leads to sometimes obtuse user experiences.
  
 === Tech Focus === === Tech Focus ===
->What the society's main focus in technology is. It could be that they heavily invest in ballistic weaponry, argricultural growth in an underground plane, or magitek construction, and so onEssentiallywhat they're interested in developing towards.+Mindeyes enjoy using technoloy that they can interface with their psionics easilybut heavily dissuades the use of neural amps or other psionic-boosting techOddly enough, they also have the best technology base for sound and the canceling thereof, mostly due to having the need for privates spaces.
  
 === Magic === === Magic ===
->Does the society encourage magic use? How does it usually manifest? How does it affect their daily life? Are there common spellcasting traditions?+Mindeyes, while sometimes capable of magic use, generally dissuade its teachings among their kind, especially when psionics is much more convenient. Mindeyes who can harness both magic and psionics effectively are commonly referred to theurges. 
 + 
 +Theurges are very rare, given the Mindeyes's overbalanced inclination towards magic, and a friendly rivalry Hagbloods discouraging the study and practice of magic further. Theurges are often feared for their disproportionate power and mastery, and often they're urged not to stay in one place for too long.
  
 === Psionics === === Psionics ===
->Does the society use psionics? How does it usually manifest? How does it affect their daily life?+Mindeye psionics, of course, are highly refined on a cultural level. Similar to magic, there are schools of thought pertaining to psionic use. Generally, psionic talents tend to be a bit more innate in their skewing towards one discipline or another, but it's not unheard of to learn and practice multiple disciplines. 
 + 
 +  * **Infusion** - Infusion is akin to mixing carbon into iron to make it into steel. It allows one to pour their psionic energies into themselves or objects to make them sturdier, stronger, deadlier, and so on. 
 +  * **Cognition** - Psionics pertaining to mental affairs fall under this category. Mind reading, forceful invasion, creation of a mindscape, and ranged thoughtcasting are all Cognizant abilities. 
 +  * **Manifestation** - Unlike magical summoning of Weird Things or other such creatures, this relies on the production of protoplasm to create a being out of pseudomatter, effectively living shadows to obey one's will. Oftentimes, a focal emotion for the being will be put in place to give them a stronger purpose. Simple emotions work for simpler goals, but complex emotions yield far more useful and varied creations. This is often a last resort of a psion on their death throes to put a creature made of vengeace into the world. 
 +  * **Kinesis** - Kinesis is the ranged projection of psionic energy, manifesting in a variety of ways, including to the manipulation, ignition, phasing, and more of objects. 
  
 ==== Agriculture ==== ==== Agriculture ====
->Do they farm? What do they farm? How do they farm?+Mindeyes prefer to let others handle major agriculture and have very little to do with agriculture as a whole.
  
 === Horticulture === === Horticulture ===
->Do they have any sort of gardening/landscaping habits? Terraforming?+Mindeyes are of the sort that keep mostly impractical, aesthetic gardens for therapeutic or honorary purposes.
  
 === Fauna === === Fauna ===
->Do they keep animals? For food? For play? What kind?+They prefer small companion animals, the largest being cats and rabbits, but generally anything that doesn't make too much noise is fine by a Mindeye.
  
 === Cooking === === Cooking ===
->What are common cooking traditions? What is a likely flavour profile?+Mindeye cooking is very artistic at its heart, built like bouquet of flowers. Simple preparation, focus on a key flavour with one or two supporting flavours around it. They strive for innovation and shy away from more crude methods of cooking.
