Culture/setting questions! I wasn't sure whether to post them to the culture page or here, so here they are. Apologies for length.
- Are family lines prevalent in Union? Would anything that could be called a "clan" exist/is there any sense of family pride and tradition attached to some names despite the high social mobility, etc.?
- How...significant is the push for an Enlightened to go join the exploration efforts? How common is it for them to stay and pursue a career in Union, and what roles do they tend to fill when they do?
- Will you be providing initial IC knowledge on history, the Old City, etc. for characters who are Historians or similar?
- Are Historians based mostly in the laboratories or the University (or elsewhere?)
- Are there roads and walkable pathways on the surface of Union, or are the towers connected by aboveground walkways? It's a little unclear whether the towers form the entire habitable city and loom over the old city beneath, or whether the old city is literally underground.
- Are there specific named gods, or is it a vague pantheistic thing?
- I may have just skimmed over this somewhere, but what's the IC rationale for characters receiving their starter Pokemon? Are they ones they've naturally bonded with that coincidentally are one of the available species, or are they actually handed out somehow from a starter pool?
edit: psst, the application copy-paste has a broken link to the starter pokemon selection page
