Ideals

Beauty Ideals

The idea of "attractive" is a foreign concept to the Oroi, as a majority of the peoples are of the Hettethyse species there are few physical relationships. Those born of the other species are typically left to dress as the early art shows the God of Creation. The most attractive trait in individuals are their dedications to the Arcane arts, or to their dedication to work.

Gender Ideals

Each person of the Oroi is technically treated as both genders, making each individual essentially gendered to their feelings and intentions but is otherwise meaningless. The Hettethyse have little interest in the constraining anyone gender to specific role or task, and as their species places little reliance on physical attractiveness, there was little need for the peoples to denominate themselves along that line.

Relationship Ideals

A "Bound Mind" is the closest that a relationship can progress to, it is otherwise known as "Bonding Mind", and symbolizes the closest thing to Imperial Marriage that exists within the society. Creating a "Bound Mind" is a task of linking two individuals by their Ethereal Soul, effectively linking their minds and emotions. The result eliminates the individual and instead creates a unity with two bodies. Often only the eldest go through the process as it typically is seen as an elimination of the individuals ability to do anything unique.
