I've been curious lately, about the various beliefs and culture New Eden holds, and how they reflect on us clone soldiers. The Caldari have the various Winds, Amarr have the Scriptures and their Faith, Intaki have the Ida and so on and so forth. What I am asking here is simply, what is your culture? What god(s) do you believe in? How do you greet people? What customs do you have? Are there any folkloric tales? What idioms and proverbs do you have? How does your culture reflect on your nature as a clone? Those kind of questions I seek to get answers for, and I'll start off with my own culture, the Intaki.
The Intaki are often considered to be a quiet and contemplative people, never confronting and never outspoken. We think before we speak, and when someone is involved in a task, we rather wait for them to acknowledge us instead of interrupting them. Maximum wxpression via minimum expression is a common proverb that crystallizes our essence, and our culture, beliefs and artwork reflect this mindset.
Our faith, the Ida, is more a way of living and a philosophy than a religion. Followers of Ida live moderately and devote their entire life for understanding this, even several ones. A core belief of the Ida is the cyclical nature of life. A solution leads to more problems, a burnt forest gives birth to a new one, death leads to rebirth. When someone has understood the cycle completely, they can break it and finally move on. We do not have a concept of absolute truth in Ida, or heaven, nor hell. The Ida is a path, and you are expected to walk it yourself. Some people, who are called the Idama and are considered very wise, have decided to pass their soul to the body of an infant, allowing them to live several lifetimes and understand the cycle completely. Rebirth is a deeply engraved part of our culture.
Our paintings and literature are often called thought-provoking and groundbreaking. Intaki artists have revolutionized old artforms ans created new ones, such as metapainting and touch sculpturing. Most notable example of these are our folkloric paintings, depicting historical and mythological settings, creating symboloc renditions of the people of New Eden, and the literature about the volcano Yasur, which erupted the day Gallente made first contact with our people.
We have many unwritten rules and customs that we use when communicating with one another and with non-Intaki, revolving about showing respect to our conversational partners. We bow when we greet, we let our partners finish before speaking ourselves, and we avoid being confrontational. Offending someone is extremely frowned upon in our culture, and we remain calm even in the most chaotic of situations. When we speak, we speak clearly, slowly and sentetiously. Maximum expression via minimum expression.
Capsuleers and clone soldiers aren't too uncommong among the Intaki, and cloning can be compared to the Ida rebirth almost directly. Some Idama have also become capsuleers and clone soldiers to understand the cycle better too. We do not separate infomorphs(people whose only defining trait is the information they carry in their brians) from the 'normal people', at least not the followers of Ida. In a way, every single Intaki is an infomorph.
So what are your own culture and beliefs? I would like it if you shared them here. Keep in mind though, this is not a place to debate if one way of belief is "right" or "wrong", but merely as a place to share your own culture.

Do you mean religous culture or our cultural sorroundings that influenced our choices in life? I for an example don't know much about the ethnic caldari religion, which was practiced in my homestation, I just know about our rather different funeral traditions, but that's it.
If you want to hear something about how life was on our station then just ask, but I think the only interesting fact about it is that we live in a station which original purpose was to colonize the planet that we are orbiting. |

Religion and general culture are often linked to each other deeply, and what I asked is what is your culture, what folklore, artwork etc. How it affects you as a clone soldier, as in what your culture thinks about cloning tech, is what I'm interested in knowing as well.

Well then I try to explain my culture which are the Caldari of the Civire bloodline.
We Civire are highly competetive and aggressive people who are known to always stay focused and calm in various kinds of situations in whatever line of work we choose. We are known as quick and efficent problem solvers.
The male members of the Civire are strict people who follow their own unmovable and strong moral code, which makes us see world not in grey shades but more in a black and white kind of way. Being idle is for us something that we avoid most of the time, we take our jobs very serious, because our work is what we are and we expect that everyone we know thinks the same, our profession is even more worth than our relationships with other people.
Female Civire are not much different from the males, they too have a very inflexible moral code, and they try to become the best workers in the job they choose. They are also very sensible when it comes to people who don't act like a real caldari would do, they see these individuals as outcasts of our society. Most of them work as teachers, drill sergeants or other lines of work where you have to teach someone the ways of the caldari and they are proud of it. My drill sergeant back in my young days for an example turned us into excellent recruts and she even turned the foulests little maggot into a respected member of our squad.
We don't have much to do with religion or arts, our world is our work and that is what counts for most of us. Most Civire are seen in every kind of job from steelworkers, to engineers and members of a buisness board. But the most interesting job for a Civire is the one of a mercenary it's just fits most personalitys there are even familys who worked as mercs for generations. Entrepreneurs is a rather odd yet fitting job choice for us because we see trading and buisness as a war for dominance that we need to win with every possible method.
There are some of us who don't like how the Caldari State is controlled or how our society works. These "Dissenters" try to change the system with much time and effort , but not in an outright rebellous kind of way. Our security officers (me included) always had to keep an eye on these individuals and what they planned.
I think this is most of the stuff that I know about us, like I said I don't have much knowledge on the subject of arts and religion in our culture and I don't know much about the other bloodlines because the majority of us where Civire. I hope this helps. |

Just saying: "Go here and read that" still feels lazy to me, and defeats the point of this thread, nevertheless the fact that my character can't read your bio, as it is OOC information. And remember, brackets around OOC posts))

You also asked about Capsuleers and immortal Mercenarys well I would say that in the point of view of a Civire that the cloning tech gives them the opportunity to live the life of a mercenary whether in space or on the ground and that without the fear to die, which is in the eyes of the young and typical Civire the perfect opportunity. And many Civire CEO's are most likely Capsuleers or Mercs, just for the fact that this makes them far harder to kill IF a rivalling Corporation ( or allied Corp) tries to get rid of them, some people would call that paranoia we call it being cautious.
Our station, as an example again, liked the capsuleers most of the time, they were good couriers and wandering traders and don't get me started on all these children and teenagers who thought that this is the most amazing thing ever and that clones lifes are full of adventures and wonders. But most of them stopped caring after they noticed what for a good life we had back home, still there were some who decided to become a capsuleer and succeded.
Mercenarys are most likely the same thing but I was the first person on our station to be turned into one, they were only a rumor back in my mortal days, we didn't even believe that they were true until that day.
Again I hope I helped you with finding the information you wanted any other better educated Caldari can come and correct me because like I said I don't know everything. |

Ermac is correct, but most of our race doesn't forsay worship the four winds, but follows the teachings and the ideas they have given us. The winds each help us in a way they guide us the winds dont ask for worship, but for us to honor them. We call it "The Way", and many Caldari follow "The Way" without realizing it.

I cant say much about my beliefs. being that i was a trader/pilot before i became a clone soldier. because of this, i've been subject to the colors of new eden.
but i can say is this: The Thukker way is a method of disciplining our people, by teaching us ( often times the hard way) to learn from our mistakes or to never deviate from the path we've chosen. I chose to become a pilot, but before that i also had to overcome some very difficult obstacles. obstacles that had me tested to the very limits in terms of willpower and resourcefulness.
my leisure clone has a tribal necklace, made from the bone of an animal said to be even more terrifying than the amarr's slaver dogs. ,symbolizing proof that i can ready to leave my village and ply my trade throughout new eden. i've been at it ever since.
i'f i had my original body i would show you the scars i had from fighting that animal.
although i am a clone soldier, i am first a pilot and before that ,a member of the Thukker tribe. that alone has seemed to help me retain my sanity |

As do I. But I believe through Faith we find purpose.
My culture I suppose is more difficult to pin point and specific to me personally.

You misunderstand the significance of the mark. Its not what they believe but it was a symbol of Khanid independence against the Throne.
The Khanid however are once again a people of the Empire, many Khanid are not of the same opinion as their King.

Or so you believe.
The King who did not perform the ritualistic suicide would not allow the Amarr theological council's demands end his life before his work was done.
Man's will was greater than God's (you could relate that to Adam and Eve if you wanted). If the King did sacrifice himself he'd a followed the Amarrian ways AKA God's will.
Although technically the suicide was a measure of keeping order in the Empire, think about it: The Empire is a religious one, one where actions are taken in the name of their god.
That's just how I see it. There are Khanid who want to rejoin the Amarr empire I know, but I'm not among them :P.

Then silence yourself. The Empire doesn't need your kind amongst its ranks.

I believe in no gods and no eternal reward once my clone contract is up.
Gods are the sort of filth a master feeds to his slaves to keep them in line.
I visit a shrine to my ancestors whenever I can make it home to Lustrevik. Unlike some of my family, I believe they're dead and gone, not spirits watching over me.
But I respect my ancestors' experiences and knowledge that they've passed on, and I feel that I can keep that part of them alive in a way by remembering and honoring them.

I used to be pretty similar to most "pureblooded" Gallente. The government is great, all the other empires and factions and whatnot are a bunch of bullshit (except for the Minmatar, of course), we're the zenith of human freedom, blah, blah blah. It was all pretty much lip service, and I felt the same way about religion. Not that it was pushed on us a whole lot anyway. 'Course, I'd have sworn the government was the best thing since hyperspace travel if it'd gotten me a decent living wage, so hey.
Being able to live out on a space station (on a Gallentean one, admittedly, but so far they haven't tried to **** with me) has given me a bit more of an expanded perspective. It wasn't as though I really thought the other empire races were lesser, but I didn't really have much of a chance to interact with 'em, y'know? Going out into space has given a lot to think about, but probably the most reassuring thing I've come to learn is that just about all four empires are full of ****. It isn't just the Gallente, oh no, everyone has some kind of idiocy running rampant throughout their culture. They say that none of us are as stupid as all of us, but as it turns out, we're all doing pretty well on the stupidity front all on our own.

But to actually humor this Caldari's comment, yes I do but this was about my culture and beliefs. You want to categorize and have a specific idea of what you think I, as an ethnic Gallente, should say in this thread only shows that you don't know too much about our society.
Now as an individual; Some people, like myself are content with the fact that there probably isn't a god and look at the success of the ancestors, and modern selves as something to take in awe and "oneness" you could say. There isn't a whole lot to my beliefs besides the golden rule humanity has always attempted to keep. So no, none of that supernatural, or spiritual matters here, not that there's anything wrong with that though. So if you wanted some kind of Religious hoopla answer from everybody you're going to have a bad time.
Also if you think Gallenteans should follow a certain character pattern that you have perceived in your mind you're going to have a horrible time especially from me.

Very true, Adamance. Like I said, I've nothing against religion and spirituality. I just dont have them. The wonder of our own people and universe is enough for me.

I am of a Khanid sect of the Amarr Faith that is opposed to slavery. This is because a religious man of the Faith helped me when nobody else could.
I also follow Ida, which comes from being Intaki, since it's a way of life, not a religion.
Of note, I follow some Minmatar battle practices from my Father's side.
I practice all this freely in the Gallente Federation.

The Minmatar have many beliefs among the different tribes. The main shared custom is that of tattooing. A Minmatar's tattoos can tell you the entire story of his or her adult life, including their accomplishments, honors, failures, rank, and status. The Minmatar have a coming of age ceremony known as the Voluval, which is how we receive our first, and most important, tattoo that marks our shift into adulthood. Every tattoo has meaning, and is an important aspect of our lives and culture.
Among the Brutor tribe, we are trained from a young age to be strong and intelligent. The Minmatar military is comprised mostly of Brutor because of our warrior lifestyle. It is not required that a Brutor joins the military, but that tends to be what most do. The Minmatar as a whole, however, are incredibly difficult to generalize as a culture, because of the multitude of tribes in the Republic, like the Thukkers, who I know have been previously mentioned.

You have been told lies, Paladin. You and I are not so different. We fight for our faith, yes, but so do you. Do you deny that some are born for greatness, while others exist to serve? Your Holders butcher the women and children of slaves every day, Paladin.
We do not hate you and your kin for driving us from our homes, we merely see you as misguided, denying the greatness of the Red God's power. He is the same God that you pray to by another name.
No faction is completely comprised of those that hunt and fight, or else it would have collapsed centuries ago. We do not hate you Paladin, but we will defend our secrets, our homes and our land. And we will always hunt.
((OOC Yes, I know exactly who they are, and the fact you think they are completely evil shows how little YOU know. ))

Such treatment of slaves is strictly prohibited within the Empire. The only time slaves are harmed is when they are punished for breaking the laws applicable to them, or they should try and rebel. In fact, the Empire does its best to keep families together throughout the process and provides them opportunities to receive education (should they desire it) and health care superior to any received by the lowest tier of the other empires.

I believe in something or someone. Not too sure what or who though. I don't think too deeply about it actually because at the end of the day my core values and beliefs are truly my own. I respect other religions and spiritualities though. Growing up on Luminaire, how could you not?
I grew up around what you could call your average Gallente citizens. Rather outspoken and surprisingly firm about their beliefs. Most of the older adults were pretty well behaved, although well behaved might mean something else to you if you're not a Gallente, but the younger crowd always been pretty wild and expressive, even for Gallenteans. Drug use and sex aren't taken as seriously where I'm from either. I can't argue with their logic surrounding. People should be free to do what they want as long as it's not harmful to another individual although I, and others, do carry a rather strict morale line.
All in all, I'm an eccentric amongst eccentrics. No, I'm not a hipster, just a guy who doesn't religiously follow the Gallente way. I've kinda assimilated other beliefs into my own to form something pretty new.
What I know I keep from my culture is the Gallentean aggressiveness and arrogance. I'm not like one of those fools jacking off to their own speeches about social justice and liberty, when they're actually doing more harm than good, or like those assholes who think they're always right, but just aggressive when provoked or when I feel provoked, and arrogant enough to think that I'm better than you, even when I try not to(It's a mental complex, I'm sure of it).

Those are very biased and liberal variations on the Blood Raider creed.
If you happen to be strolling through their domains be sure to check out the Blood Pit's or some of their de-sanguination rituals...... nothing pleases them more than butchered children, the screams of the dying, and the taste of fresh blood.
If nothing else I am familiar with their beliefs and culture so as to better kill them., filth that they are.

My family is made up of mostly secular industrialists. We're heavy supporters of trans humanism and AI as a means to enhance life in both quality and span. Unfortunately we also have a history of heavy substance use and depression. Once myself and my brother gained immortality we moved away from our civilian lifestyles and find peace in conflict. Our thoughts were always linked to the fear and anxiety surrounding death. Once we conquered death that anxiety was lifted, and all that remains was the pursuit of freedom in all other forms and the wealth to sustain it.
Tarn and myself have chosen to spend out time fighting mostly for comradeship as no amount of ISK has given us any more satisfaction. We have all the freedom we need in the vast space and time before us.

As if your own views are no less biased Paladin. You speak of the Blood Pits as if we did not take the idea from your empire's own tortures.
How do you know what pleases us? The de-sanguination of children has fallen out of favor with all but the most backwards of our sects. The purity of their blood has been passed in favor of that of clones. The rise of the capsuleer, and now the immortal mercenaries has delivered us a bounty of massive proportions, and the Red God willing, it will continue unabated so that we may continue our lives and our research.
As to the drinking of fresh blood, that is absurd. Blood is much to precious to be simply drunk like a magic elixir. The Bleeders store, process and purify the Blood of those who have given.
Do not let the words of others fill your mind with hatred and shadows, Mr. Ventus. It is obvious by the Paladin's words that there will never be peace between the Sani Sabik and the Amarr, though we come from common stock. And I must say, the raving of their priests do give our warriors a fearsome psychological advantage.

Ever since we left the bosom of the Empire we have been surrounded by enemies. This is a fact every Sani Sabik is well aware of. Threats of death do not frighten me.

I too suffered a great deal of discrimination because of the emancipation of my great uncle who returned to our Tribe, I always did think he was odd though, and ma and da held him at arms length because he used to stand in the square and speak of God.....
Still he was a good man despite what the others said about him. Still when the slavers came was him they all blamed..... was horrible seeing all the people you knew consumed by anger and blame....

Where to even begin...
Well, as a child my father was quick to introduce me to the Way of the Winds. I made a point to familiarize myself with some of the most popular legends, songs, and fables of the Raata Empire. This proved to be no easy task (I am pressed to remind all of you that the first Caldari civilizations predate that of any of the four major empires, leaving quite an extensive amount of material to be covered and memorized) but I still endeavored to prove my loyalty to my ancestral heritage. Yet despite my father's strict dedication to the Winds, our family would freely recognize certain Intaki traditions that my mother had learned when she was younger. This lead to a household culture that stood as an unorthodox amalgamation of preestablished Caldari descent and sparsely placed Ida customs.
I struggled for many years to find meaning in the literal message of both beliefs, attempting to justify notions of Wind spirits and reincarnation. This was an internal battle I fought right up to the time of my parents' deaths, which drove me into a bit of a downward spiral until I collectively decide for a time that both systems were nothing more than wishful thinking. I fancied myself an anthesist for some time while I continued to observe traditional Caldari ceremonies out of simple respect. Once I had finally gotten past the brooding and matured slightly, all those ceremonies slowly began to make more and more sense in hindsight.
You see, in this world there are certain forces of nature that doubtlessly shape our world. Through the transfer of energy in this universe, powerful storms can lay waste to dense forests and ancient shores. All of this energy is never destroyed, it can only change state. A storm may dissipate, but the water it has left will flow into a mighty river, that river shall carve out a canyon, that canyon will provide men shelter, and those men shall live on to see yet another storm. When a creature dies, it's body will go back to the soil and provide life for another, which will provide life for another.
Who is to say that this process isn't capable of recycling the soul just as one recycles carbon? Who is to say that the concept of the 'soul' is merely an illusion we use to gauge the amount of life this reality has granted to one organism?
Now before I get too misty eyed... Let me attempt to sum up my point. At the most basic level, there is no fundamental difference between gods and physics. Therefore, the personification of these forces as characters in legend and religion is not only acceptable but an essential ability for any society that hopes in increase its understand of the world around them.
This means the Intaki system of the Ida is just as valid as the Caldari personification of nature spirits and the Achurian spirituality that manifests fear and negative emotions as demons and foul spirits. As long as an individual can understand this concept, then whatever religion they develop is just a different interpretation of the universal truth: that we are all a small part in a much larger machine.
As you can imagine, this makes me rather tolerant of most outsiders as long as they show an equal amount of respect for other's customs as their own. As far as I am concerned, even the Sabik have some merit to them as long as you don't take the message too literally.

Galm you must join me in the Kaalakiota mountains for meditation. It's one of the few places I feel peaceful in after all these years

Yes Kador, I suppose it would be shocking for a judgmental audocrat such as yourself to discover that there is more to me once you take away the Mindflood and Frentix. Still, I will take what you have said as a compliment and not push much further than that. Though I must admit templar, you've sparked my interest for good conversation and a theological confab. Perhaps someday you could visit the Summit Temple and we could discuss such matters in more detail. Unless, of course, you would rather it take place in an Amarr church.

Admittedly I've never actually visited the Homeland. I think I would enjoy that Cayton-haan.

A pilgrimage is always a wonderful thing. I wish you both luck.

May I join you as well? I've been spiritual in the past, but a pilgrimage is long overdue for myself. |

Gods are the sort of filth a master feeds to his slaves to keep them in line.
I visit a shrine to my ancestors whenever I can make it home to Lustrevik. Unlike some of my family, I believe they're dead and gone, not spirits watching over me.
But I respect my ancestors' experiences and knowledge that they've passed on, and I feel that I can keep that part of them alive in a way by remembering and honoring them. Shut thy foul tongue lest you be punished for what thou have said, our god is no filth it is our way of life such as your way is your own
