Intellect
Culture
Major language groups and dialects
All previous languages and dialects of Earth are remembered among the Intellects—if it is not known, it will be learned and then stored for later students. While Terran Trade Standard is the most common heard language even among this ethnic group, the rest of their language, whether written or spoken or signed, is usually a mix of everything. Most Intellects have taken studies in every language to better connect with other individuals of like-minded attitude—you cannot talk about the latest scientific findings or artistic endeavors unless you can understand one another. It is usually spotted in a conversation that one person could be speaking Mandarin, and another could be speaking Spanish, while a third could be speaking Japanese, and each would understand one another without clarification.
Common Dress code
As teachers and students of the Institute, one would find them wearing a uniform of dress shirts, slacks, and skirts with bows or ties for the more common, non-messy classes; however, for the others, usually something easily thrown away or reused as something else to prevent from ruining good clothing while painting or sculpting.
Ideals
Beauty Ideals
Intellects as an ethnic group do not value physical beauty beyond symmetries; instead, their idea of beauty is reliant upon the brain and how dynamic you are in your studies, problem solving, and teaching; in how your thesis papers, dissertations, and stories flow; how your artwork touches the soul in color and design.
Gender Ideals
Gender, like for the rest of Neo Terrans, is no issue; but even more so with Intellects. Intellects value the brain more than the body, and the gender of that person doesn’t even bare mentioning. Like the rest of Neo Terran society, most people are referred to as they/them.
Courtship Ideals
You must be dynamic to catch the eye of an Intellect. Whether your jump from thought to thought, or your mind meticulously plots every point of speculation, it usually must be bold and vivacious in execution. Once you have caught their eye, to lead them is to instead preset your newest findings or creations like the precious gifts they are, and to cherish the other in return.
Relationship Ideals
An Intellect will gladly share their ideas, and their brains, with a like-minded individual, but will truly become invested in one who builds or creates something new with them.
