 ====Culture==== ====Culture====
  
-De'Moneres culture is largely defined by its creator mandated caste system based around the physical features of the individual. These castes consist of four suits; Spades, Clubs, Hearts, and Diamonds.  This caste system is closely tied to the socioeconomic options of the De'Moneres in question, with outliers to the four morph caste falling into a fifth caste that technically exists entirely outside of the system. This Joker caste lacks both the burdens and benefits awarded by participation within the caste system but are often ostracized from their families and friends if they fail to perform the necessary cultural expectations to fall into their birth class. +De'moneres culture is largely defined by its creator mandated caste system based around the physical features of the individual.

-These 5 castes are closely tied to certain physical features. Most notably the horn and tail tip, though facial features are a factor to a lesser degree. The loss or intentional removal of these identifying features can cause a De'Moneres to be demoted to the Joker caste. Often families who exile a member will forcibly shear off these features, forcing the exiled individual into the Joker caste. The specifics of these features will be elaborated below under the Morphs section. +These 5 castes are closely tied to certain physical features.

-In the event of battle damage or accidental breakage of these features, many De'Moneres will seek body modifications or prosthetics to replace the missing feature and facilitate their continued performance within the caste.+In the event of battle damage or accidental breakage of these features, many De'moneres will seek body modifications or prosthetics to replace the missing feature and facilitate their continued performance within the caste.
  
-This battle damage is most likely accrued through violent attacks or turf wars, most common on Monte itself. This violent and brutal culture is directly responsible for the high rates of physical disabilities and mental illness among De'Moneres society.+This battle damage is most likely accrued through violent attacks or turf wars, most common on Monte itself. This violent and brutal culture is directly responsible for the high rates of physical disabilities and mental illness among De'moneres society.
  
-Homes and other structures are surprisingly accommodating for De'Moneres of various sizes. The large deviation in De'Moneres height across the castes means that staggered lofts and large elevators are more common over smaller rooms and stairs. Structures are highly ornamented, as lavish displays of wealth are present in nearly all aspects of De'Moneres culture. Furniture is commonly built with durable materials, prioritizing both aesthetic and longevity over culture. The rough, sandpaper-like skin of De'Moneres can shred through most lighter upholstery. +Homes and other structures are surprisingly accommodating for De'moneres of various sizes.

-De'Moneres religion is tied into the caste system as well. Worship is primarily focused on Stope, especially within Monte, but De'Moneres who are removed from the dogmatic culture of Monte can sometimes pick up worship of other deities. Commonly other Luxson based gods, such as Anne, XXI, and Fallow. De'Moneres who immigrate outside of the Luxson Cluster tend to worship gods who represent ideals closest to the cultural values they originate with, for example; De'Moneres within Taverne often worship Spit or Wretch. +De'moneres religion is tied into the caste system as well.

-Weapons, jewelry, and fashion hold cultural significance for the De'Moneres, with objects that toe the line between the three highly valued. Form is often a priority over function but function is valued in the event of a conflict. +Weapons, jewelry, and fashion hold cultural significance for the De'moneres, with objects that toe the line between the three highly valued.

-There is something to be said on the materials specific castes tend to for both clothing and upholstery. Due to their rough skin, lower caste De'Moneres favor sturdy materials which can stand against the wear and tear of their life while wealthier, higher caste De'Moneres can afford more delicate fabrics which they can afford to replace or repair.+There is something to be said on the materials specific castes tend to for both clothing and upholstery.

-De'Moneres have rough, sandpaper-like, and bulletproof skin that appears smooth from a distance. They often lack markings on their skin but it appears rarely in some families.

-De'Moneres possess flatter faces than most morbitianshaving a less pronounced snout. Their eyes are often hoodedwith a thick lid that shows at rest. Eye shape varies by morph but nearly all De'Moneres possess slit pupils. Their thin lips are often accented by black lipstick tattoosgiving the impression of fuller lips.

-De'Moneres are a species that are very active and require a large caloric intake compared to other species of their size. They are omnivorous but have a strong requirement for pure carbon in their diets, such as coal, graphite, certain kinds of glassy carbon, and diamonds. Although diamonds are a rarity due to their intense psychoactive effect, especially on individuals who are unused to the effect. De'Moneres who ingest diamonds experience a stimulant effect that can induce a dangerous and berserk state in those unused to the effect or in the event of overindulgence. +De'moneres are a species that are very active and require a large caloric intake compared to other species of their size.

They mostly reside underground in Monte. Their tail tip takes the shape of a spade, possesses a single horn, and have blunter hooves compared to other De'Moneres often being compared to dress shoes.

They have an uncharacteristic association with Fallow's Island, some claiming there is a religious and spiritual significance to the location. They typically reside aboveground in Monte, tending towards rural living. Their tail tip takes the shape of a clubs, their horns take the shape of antlers, and their hooves are often cloven.

Vitreole often have the freedom to become scholars, studying and researching the sciences and culture, or pursuing artistic expression. They reside in urban environments.

The infamous turf wars of the De'Moneres are more often than not administrated by Octoliere mob bosses and gang leaders. Most Monte-native Octoliere are in some way associated with the mafia.

-The Joker morph is unique, in that it is less a morph and more a caste that exists outside the suit system. Composed of exiles, mixed morph De'Moneres, some hybrids, along with other societal outcasts. The protection of a bloodline can sometimes spare De'Moneres who would otherwise fall to the Joker caste from their fate. They resemble any of the morphs above but typically have identifying caste features such as tail tips or horns shorn off to symbolize their status or lack thereof. Exist outside the caste system, living in slums and impoverished communities. Some Jokers voluntarily join the caste, becoming vigilantes and rebels against the caste system. The caste is considered a smear on Monte's presentation by Stope. Their caste identifying features are often unrecognizable and their heights varying wildly.+The Joker morph is unique, in that it is less a morph and more a caste that exists outside the suit system.
