Norms are people trying to establish and maintain some kind of organized society within the Catharsis Wall. They are the main food producers and technical service providers for most of the people living outside Corpo Rule. Given that they are denied education, their knowledge is experiential through apprenticeship and passed on from the previous generation.
Norms are peaceful people, still clinging to the world of the past. They continue creating relationships, maintaining households, and trying their best to live a “normal” life. Many of them have experience in creating low-tech machines. Due to prohibitions regarding weapon manufacturing within the Walls, most of these machines are used to assist in various kinds of labor work. Even so, in some cases the
FOI has hired Norms to build assault machines for their cause.
Although those in the
Plebis Caste are discouraged from reproducing, they are the only faction to believe they have a moral obligation to do so. They are characterized by strong family values and they teach their children to cherish family above all else.
Norms are the ones most frequently picked on by the
Syndicates, as they make for easy targets with low resistance. They are usually forced to buy protection from one gang in order to avoid harassment from the others, but even then they are often left defenseless.
