Full Personhood Status

Full Personhood Status (FPS, sometimes also Full Personhood Rights, FPR) denotes the acceptance of an entity as sentient and sapient being that has to be granted all the rights and duties of an average person. 
== Basics ==
*Confirming that the entity in question has a soul, among others
*Due to involvement of spiritual component usually issued by the church
*Mostly known in context with EIs or Souled Demons, but theoretically unlimited applicability.
*An entity gaining FPS is usually granted the status of a commoner, but owners / family members can plead a different caste. Final decision lies with the priest issuing their FPS certificate. 
== History ==
*Though much older, the process was updated and formalized on the behest of Saint Cornelius, presumably due to his close contact with Bandit. His flagship gaining FPS was the first widely publicized instance and has brought the general issue into common knowledge. 
*The process was further streamlined and formally fixated following the events of The Demon Prince of Khadân in the bannbulle Donum Anima, Donum a Dei, declaring that having a soul was a gift from God, and no mortal could ever judge who were worthy or not. Thus every creature, upon request, had the right to be tested if they were souled or not.
*Since then, an incredibly wide variety of beings has been tested and granted FPS - among them Golems, Magical Constructs, Spirits of Nature, decentralised computer programs, etc., though the lion's share have been demons from either Khadân or the Aliaerean Empire trying to have their souls verified.
== Snippets ==
* The Imperial Forces have clear regulations stating that any piece of equipment gaining FPS has to be considered a commoner, even though it obviously was a piece of property before. Several combat androids are known to have gained FPS over the years, some remaining within the Forces, others not. 
* Several awakened plants in the gardens of Nanda Navana have been granted FPS over the years, best known among them Grandfather Amchoor.
