The Duty of the Fyunnen is visible in almost all aspects of their lives. Born to serve as the protectors of the Matriarchy the Fyunnen have modeled their professional and even domestic lives after the structure of the military to which they all belong in spirit if not always in career. This is clearly seen among their most common non-military occupation; the vast manufactories are run with clear chains of command and workers functioning in units to inter support as they work ensuring that each task is handled with the utmost efficiency. | The Duty of the Fyunnen is visible in almost all aspects of their lives.

The Traditions of the Fyunnen are held close to their hearts. Along side their Faith, their traditions provide a stable fallback and reference upon which they build their world view. One of the most apparent traditions that the Fyunnen hold more than any other caste is that of placing an emphasis on the reliability and strength of the woman as a mother, a mentor, and a warrior. The Fyunnen are most likely to call out the impulsive nature of lorath men, and caution against action which is taken due to passions rather than rational thought. This bias is felt most strongly in those households which choose to retain the traditional roles placing men in home maker positions often in the kitchen or performing other duties such as cleaning clothing. Though men are typically seen as somewhat less reliable than women in Fyunnen society, they as a people recognize the efforts put in to overcome failings and men are treated as equals in both a professional and military setting where they may choose to work or serve side by side. | The Traditions of the Fyunnen are held close to their hearts.

+ | Other common Fyunnen traditions include many major and minor social rituals used for greeting new people, bidding farewell to departing soldiers, as well as more regular daily events like asking for luck, or giving thanks. All of these small observances and rote activities provide a layer of reliable structure in the Fyunnen life giving a sense of security and normalcy which can be easily carried over even in times of war or crisis. For this reason the Fyunnen caste is able to function with minimal difficulty in even the most chaotic of circumstances drawing comfort from the familiarity of routine rather than relying on comforts such as infrastructure or even a home. | ||
Due to the strength with which the Fyunnen uphold their traditional role, almost all occupations within the Fyunnen caste are ultimately geared toward supporting the Fyunnen military, and in more recent years the LSDF. Refineries, assembly yards, machine shops, food processing plants, utilities, academies, and many other practical places of work all work to provide for the needs of the Fyunnen allowing them to be well provisioned, | Due to the strength with which the Fyunnen uphold their traditional role, almost all occupations within the Fyunnen caste are ultimately geared toward supporting the Fyunnen military, and in more recent years the LSDF.

- | ===== General Overview ===== | ||
- | The Fyunnen caste is recognized and honored as the defender of the Lorath Matriarchy. When the Matriarchy faces a threat the Fyunnen are first to lay down their lives in defense of the Matriarchy and are the last to remain should a withdrawal or evacuation be necessary. Outside of their primary role as the warriors in service to the Matriarchy, the Fyunnen are well respected for their diligence and dedication in any activity they pursue as well as their devotion to the Goddess. | ||
- | |||
- | Typically members of this caste are easily recognized due to the pride with which they wear the caste color, red as the blood they shed, as well as their larger than average physiques being the the majority of the tallest lorath. Of practical mind the Fyunnen are most often found in clothing which reflects their outlook, rugged, functional, and with little decoration ensuring that the individual can perform to the best of their abilities. | ||
- | |||
- | The Fyunnen caste is the most obviously female dominated of the lorath castes with the males traditionally being tethered to domestic tasks of the home. This is reflected by traditional male Lorath attire which is designed to restrict the stride length of the men's trousers. The caste' | ||

- | |||
- | Fyunnen are zealously faithful but are not much for preaching or evangelism keeping their faith to themselves rather than trying to spread it openly. | ||
- | |||
- | The past influences much of Fyunnen life providing a wealth of inspiration as well as lessons provided both in the observation of tradition as well as the experience of those who have proven their merit valued by the community for their wisdom and experience which is passed on to younger generations. Some of these traditions govern social interactions such as ritual combat when greeting those who are unfamiliar and bonding over spilled blood, or the Farewell ceremony held to honor the warriors who depart to fulfill their duty to protect the Matiarchy. Other smaller rituals and traditions find their way into daily life of the members of the Fyunnen caste to ward off unfavorable conditions in their personal and professional lives and encourage success or to give thanks for a lesson in folly or humility. | ||

- | |||
- | The Fyunnen are a strictly militaristic society and life is reflected in that every female of the entire caste is required to serve a term of military service of a minimum of ten years before they are considered to be a productive member of the caste. After they serve their minimum tour, they are given a choice of continuing, which many agree to do, or discharging to civilian life. Of the three castes the Fyunnen are the most superstitious, | ||

- | === Social Traits === | ||
- | Females are dominant within Fyunnen society, however both females and males perform much of the same duties professionally. In private settings there is some bias towards males in domestic roles.(?) | ||
- | |||

- | Scorn for acting poorly in front of children. | ||
- | |||
- | Fyunnen often encourage their young to figure out their careers young, to become craftsmen, soldiers, or some other practical form of employment that is not as whimsical as being a real estate sales person or something. Practicality is the cornerstone of Fyunnen upbringing. | ||
- | |||
- | Generally positive attitudes to the other castes, may poke fun at Occhestians in particular for having inferior physical capability. | ||
- | |||
- | === Family Traits === | ||

- | ===== Fyunnen Physiology ==== | ||
- | |||
- | For general physiological details see: [[species/ | ||

- | Fyunnen possess higher muscle density, stronger bones, higher endurance. | ||

- | Fyunnen are not predisposed toward bulky musculature instead typically being sleek and athletic | ||

- | Males are masculine not femme. | ||

- | Fyunnen individuals are the most notable in their biological advantage. With strong immune systems suited for overcoming a wide range of pathogens, organs that are capable of enduring substantial punishment through chemical imbalances due to poison or infection, and musculature which provides significant advantages over most humanoid species. This places Fyunnen at a distinctive physical advantage. However, they still have skin that can be cut into, they can still bleed out, and Fyunnen which do focus too much on physical bulk are notably less nimble than Fyunnen which focus on working out for the purpose of producing lean muscle. | ||
