Cultural Notes
- Indentured servitude is fully legal in their homeland, Jajende but not particularly common, essentially a plaything of the ultra-wealthy, that tends to only affect the ultra-poor. It’s rarely seen, therefore rarely cared about, although there are always legal activist groups working for more rights for the indentured, with the ultimate goal of ending the practice altogether.
- Xiao is more of a breed name than a formal last name; it indicates that they’re registered formally as a Xiao (red panda, essentially).
- There are many different kinds of “breed” registrations; if one can prove one’s genealogy is enough of one breed, they can become registered. Registered breeds are considered a class above mixed breeds, who have no last name.
- Class was once a formal caste-system, but in the last 100 years or so, has faded into a less formal system of job, species, and economic hierarchy. However, the echoes of the class system can be seen everywhere, and are felt just as keenly by the citizens as ever, even if they are less formally enforced.
- There are non-Un in Jajende. Their class tends to be derived from their job and economic status entirely.
- I will eventually probably do some kind of reference post for their home country since there’s been some interest! Anyone else is free to create characters from there, and ask me if you want any information! :3
Genealogy and History
Parent One: Tuketu Xiao. Male, paid for genetic material.
Parent Two: Huo “Huaping” Xiao. Female, carried child to term in exchange for early freedom from indentured servitude.
Birth: Delicii was a rich man’s breeding project. They were born into servitude, paying off their mother’s excess time as soon as they were considered “able” (10 years), with interest for the 10 years of being raised. They were intended to be a well-kept pet, hence their name.
Childhood: Delicii had a relatively pampered childhood, albeit one clearly had as a pet. They were educated (within reason), well cared-for and fed, and prepared for an adulthood of servitude.
Adulthood: Delicii served as a handmaid and personal servant from the age of ten. If they amassed no more time they would be free at the age of thirty-five; fifteen years from their mother and ten from their own childhood. However, their master died unexpectedly and they were inherited and then sold off to a rather questionable group that specialized in the export of Un to other countries and continents--in what manner depending mostly upon the laws of the country they were headed. Delicii was thusly sold, and wound up a collector’s oddity in Akvero, serving as a maid. The state of their legality--and freedom--is one up for great debate.
Skills and Personality
Talents:
- We Can Clean It, We Have The Technology: Delicii has a real knack for cleaning and repair, and was well-known and popular back home for their almost supernatural skill for getting out impossible stains from almost any surface or material.
- Quick Hands: Most of the time, Delicii uses their deft and dexterous fingers for sewing, origami, and fine crafts. They have been known to use them for other things, of course, but never anything that would get them in trouble, certainly.
