Chromatic Culture and Castes

The following sections are a rough description of the Advanced Chromatic’s culture. Because they gained their sentience by, essentially, stealing it from other races, their culture is very close in many aspects to that of those races. For instance, the chromatic tradition of binding their various body parts may have originally come from the way that other races bind their hair or bodies.

Hierarchy & Social Order

The chromatic have a very complex 12-step hierarchy due mainly to the division between those that feed off sentient beings and those that do not. The names of the positions in this hierarchy are in the language of Na; Kinaso. In the case of any ambiguities, the lowest position possible is always assumed. For example, if a Vu-Yunu becomes a Vu-Rayunu at some point, but then goes back to living life like a Vu-Yunu, that chromatic is still considered to have the position of Vu-Rayunu.

Listed below is the hierarchy as determined by the high chromatic, from highest position to the lowest.

	Vu-Ki Of the Purest Spirit Purest; God The singular Most-High Chromatic. This mythical Chromatic lives in the wild and has the appearance of a Vu-Koko Chromatic, but an intellect greater than all, as well an ability to form actual objects using it’s No and mastery of manipulating magic, life, and spirit.
	Vu-Kinu White Being of the Highest Spirit Elite; High Preist The most elite and learned chromatic. These chromatic bind their tails and No. They also must cover their third eye. Chromatic can only be born into this position. These chromatic are able to use their No to manipulate spirit and life. The current Vu-Kinu is Sinusuvo.
	Vu-Kukunu White Being of Very Bright Spirit Commander The guards and fighting forces for the Vu-Kinu. These chromatic bind their tails and No. Chromatic in this position must be former Vu-Koyunu chromatic. These chromatic are able to use their No to manipulate spirit. Kuriruvu was once the head Kukunu, before he betrayed his people. The current Vu-Kukunu are TBD.
	Vu-Kunu White Being of Bright Spirit Guard; Protector Servants to both the Vu-Kinu and the Vu-Kukunu. These chromatic bind their tails. About half Vu-Yunu chromatic become Vu-Kunu chromatic. Chromatic in this position must be former Vu-Koyunu or Vu-Kokoyunu Chromatic (in other words, they must have at least one sentient- consuming parent). Their main duties are protection of all sentient- consuming Chromatic and resource gathering. Nusuvi is the Vu-Kunu that acts as guard-protector for the party in rescue of James Haller.

	Vu-Koyunu Small Spirit of our White Being Child Chromatic children with two Vu-Yunu (or higher) parents.
	Vu-Kokoyunu Very Dim Spirit of our White Being Impure Child Chromatic children and adults with one former Vu-Yunu (or higher) parent and one Vu-Koko parent that are raised as sentient-consuming Chromatic.
	Vu-Kokonu White Being of Very Dim Spirit Elevated Low Chromatic A Chromatic that was born of two Vu-Koko parents, but began to consume sentient beings at some point.
	Vu-Koko Very Dim Spirit Low Chromatic A normal Chromatic that does not consume sentient beings. Also children and adults with one former Vu-Yunu (or higher) parent and one Vu-Koko parent that are raised as non-sentient-consuming Chromatic.
	Vu-Rayunu Once a Spirit of our White Being Rebel A Chromatic that was once Vu-Yunu (or higher), but began to live life like a Vu-Koko at some point. Actively opposes the consuming of sentient.
	Vu-Ranu White Being of Regretful Spirit Exiled Any Vu-Yunu Chromatic that has had relations with a Vu-Koko (or lower).
