Dawning
Each generation of Pravda is a 'Dawning'. Tracking of generations begins 10,000-17,000 years prior, at the signing of The Treaty of Vitae by the 'Genesis' Pravda. |
Variant
Each Pravda is a 'Variant', keeping the base name of their Genesis Pravda as part of their title. For example, Pria Sindari is the Alpha of the Sindari Family. She named herself Pria, however she is a Variant of GoldFlake. As all Pravda know the 21 Genesis Pravda, with just this information, they can establish their relationship with Pria Sindari. A Pravda is not required to announce their name, Variation or Genesis, except to any older within their own family; however, The Pravda generally do this out of respect to their race. |
Genesis
These Pravda are the first to truly keep track of Pravda in time, meaning the first to give written terms to the basic parts of their life. They are the base group that all other groups use to distinguish each other, a fixed point in time to act as a given variable in the necessary equations. |
| ➣T I M E ▪ While being the most controversial topic in Pravda conversation, it is also the most important thing in the universe to EVERY Pravda. When young, they crave the time travel they are born into. When mature they crave to learn from it, and finally, pass it along. The Typical Pravda expects to learn what it can when it is alive, make its mark and move along. (Many of Pravda consider their time completed when hair reaches the ground.) Time is certainly more important to some than others, with some variants making a point of abusing their ability to time-travel to the fullest, and others caring little to use the ability. | ➣L I F E ▪ The Pravda believe that life is a tool and learning experience. In their philosophy, the present state is more like a giant maze which they must traverse. Once they are content with what they have given to the universe and reach inner peace, they hand their body off to the next Variant and become a part of the fabric of time as it rushes forever onward. |

| ➣R E L I G I O N ▪ The Pravda view of life is a tiny piece of typical Pravda religion. The Pravda acknowledge the existence of 'God-Like' creatures, that, with no other name, they will often allow to use the term; even so, the Pravda believe in the holisticity of the Universe: which they use to travel, understanding that all matter inside of it came from the same initial spark of energy, which they have further accepted they return to after death. | ➣S L E E P ▪ Pravda require sleep, just like every other creature in the universe, but not nearly as much. A Pravda can live comfortably on twelve hours of sleep for as long as a week if they wish before stamina begins to drop. Despite this, most Pravda find sleep to be a genuinely likable past time. |

| ➣L O V E▪ With the exception of infertility, Pravda function exactly the same as terrestrial species. Relationships formed tend to depend on the Pravda themselves. While Early Pravda believed in pairing off with other Pravda only, there has been a surge in the past 7,000 years of these old habits breaking. Regardless of this decrease, there are some natural connections that seem to pass from one Variant to another over time, manifesting in some Dawnings rather than others. These are in no way binding, but act more as a sense of familiarity that allows Pravda to integrate more easily with their own kind. | ➣F O O D ▪ Pravda are capable of consuming any indigenous food sources, with adaptation coming to their rescue. Thanks to this, they are also largely immune to toxins, unless toxins from an outside environment are introduced before their body can adapt. In these cases, instant death is almost inevitable. About 85% of Pravda have a minor allergy to raw honey that has yet to be explained, though, for a select few, this allergy is more than minor and can cause great discomfort. |

| ➣W O R K ▪ All Pravda believe in work in one form or another, though they often have different concepts of what 'work' is. Within the Pravda community itself, there are typically at least 3 Lumorae artists, a Historian or two, and an Enforcer, amongst others. Those who do not have a profession within the Pravda will go out of their way to find one elsewhere. In centuries directly preceding a Parliament call, it is common for these professions to drop off, typically leaving The Goldflake, Legacy, and White Smoke variants as the only ones with specific tasks to accomplish. | ➣R I S K / D E A T H ▪ The subject that makes Time so controversial to the Pravda. The typical Pravda will grow out of the fear of death that plagues mortals. In most cases, once a Pravda reunites with its family and regains its pack-mind, the fear of death vanishes. A Pravda will live until they feel fulfilled, and then simply be. Committing suicide is a great dishonor on oneself to the Pravda, who believe in the sanctity of Pravda life and purpose. (They will, however, take this option over allowing another Pravda to murder them. Circumstance decides how the action is viewed.) Instead, when a Pravda is ready to die, they will simply live their self to death. Most Pravda favor action and risk, but only when a Pravda decides they're finished do they become truly risky. |
