===History===
At some point, an unnamed man attended to a grand theater hosted by The Family to investigate the happenings within the faction. The man unintentionally revealed his intentions while conversing with Renoir, questioning the faction's existence. Without a direct response, Renoir calls for a waiter and presents him a peculiar box. Under the influence of Renoir’s distorted voice, the man unconsciously reached his hand into the box, acquiring the Family Ties. The entire audience coldly glared down while wearing identical, eerie smiles, and with the same voice, began to tempt him to join them. Frightened by this, he forced the same smile in a bid for survival and escaped the theater.Memory Bubble: FamilyCurio: Family Ties

==Scale Degree System==
The Family treats everyone equally without division of class, with no established levels or power structures. Each note holds equal significance in the music Xipe has composed. However, for collective progress, someone must assume a leadership role. As a result, Family members have returned to a system of differentiation based on scales.
