Culture

Shared customary codes and values

In general, Torii prioritize scientific progress. Anything else is valued based on what it contributes towards that goal.

Average technological level

Over twenty thousand years of development, the Torii have become godlike, using the Universal Power Convertor to shape the world around them at will, and presenting a threat to even the Assahii. However, they are still mostly limited to using storm magic.

Common Dress code

As a way of showing off their abilities, many Torii wear self-made equipment. Oftentimes, complexity is prioritized over usability or efficiency, as people try to show off as many skills as possible.

Art & Architecture

While generally accepted, art is often looked down upon as a waste of time, and efficient designs are often preferred over artistic ones. If art is created, it is often expected to provide some kind of additional value to the city, such as being a teaching tool.

Historical figures
