Spacel Culture

## Hierarchies/Politics and Systems of Power

(As known for now all Spacels Governments are rules under a **Monarchy** of some sorts.)

* **Monarchy/Biarchy, Equal** **(Kings, Queens, Princes, etc.)** (Constrial) Both males and females or any gender can come to power, ruled by both a king and a queen, a singular oldest offspring of which is chosen (even if they are not ready to rule) the thorn will be held by the parents until said child's calls for a coronation or the parents in which can no longer rule, step down or die.
* **Monarchy (Chiefs and Chieftains), Equal** (Coral) Both males and females or any gender can come to power, rules only by one, the oldest of which is chosen (even if they are not ready to rule) the thorn will be held by the parents until said child's calls for a coronation or the parents in which can no longer rule, step down or die.

* **Monarchy/Gynarchy/Hoplarchy, Patriarchal Society (Empresses and Generals)** (Conbrims) Power is passed down to the eldest female offspring, ruled like a militarian like government. Males are still seen as nobility but can not uphold the throne.

**Spacels outside of The Tiaa'véd –**

* **Monarchy/Hoplarchy/Totalitarian or Dictatorship, Equal (Emperors/*Empresses, Generals and Master) '***(Mokai) Power is past down to the eldest of offspring, ruled like rouges and military groups. This government is aggressive.
* **Oligarchy/Monarchy, Equal (Kings/Queens and The noble Family*)*** (Juxidi) Power is held by the living eldest couple and their family, past down to each generation. Once the eldest marries the ruler-ship is past down to their marriage and kin.
* **Monarchy/Biarchy, Equal** **(Kings, Queens, Princes, etc.)** (Phlentrix) Both males and females or any gender can come to power, ruled by both a king and a queen, a singular oldest offspring of which is chosen (even if they are not ready to rule) the thorn will be held by the parents until said child's calls for a coronation or the parents in which can no longer rule, step down or die.
* **Federation/Biarchy/**Oligarchy, Equal (Chiefs/Chieftains/Captains and Noble groups)****(Iprirus) Both males and female or any gender can come to power, ruled by a group of people in each faction which is past down though families and kin, each family has their factions captain and chieftainwhich is which is the married pair that help take care of there groups faction, every so often each 6 factions will meet and discuss news and politics to govern there federation.
* **Patriarchal Democracy/Monarchy, Equal (Chief/Chieftain and Presidential Family)** (Stelka) Both males and Females or any gender can rule, when it has come time for a new leader, the government will vote on which offspring from the last leaders kin shall rule next ever 200 years, each one shall compete to win the peoples vote to win leadership over the government, after done so, the winning offspring will have to find a mate and produce the next line that shall rule in the next 200 years, and so on and so forth. **(The other kin are still seen as noble family but can not rule)**

* **Acracy/Monarchy**, **Patriarchal Society (Leader)** (Dindra) Only males rule, eldest of the kin are chosen to rule, females still noble but have no place in the leader ship of the government, oddly enough though there isn't much of a government at all, most Dindra keep to them selves and just stay in belts of large asteroids with water, but if the community does need help they go to their leader for guidance, Dindra are usually solitude otherwise.
* **Monarchy/Biarchy, Equal** **(Kings, Queens, Princes, etc.)** (Ophela) Both males and females or any gender can come to power, ruled by both a king and a queen, a singular oldest offspring of which is chosen (even if they are not ready to rule) the thorn will be held by the parents until said child's calls for a coronation or the parents in which can no longer rule, step down or die.
* **Monarchy/Biarchy, Equal** **(Kings, Queens, Princes, etc.)** (Novahai) Both males and females or any gender can come to power, ruled by both a king and a queen, a singular oldest offspring of which is chosen (even if they are not ready to rule) the thorn will be held by the parents until said child's calls for a coronation or the parents in which can no longer rule, step down or die.

## Marriage Traditions and Rituals

### Proposal

Spacel Proposals are a way of saying to the other spacel that you want to stick by them for entirety for spacels mate for life, ALTHOUGH this being said a spacel will have many mates with-in it's lifetime until they imprint on spacel and marry. This usually causes a thick bond between the pair, but this isn't always true. Some spacel are also polyamorous and will take more then one mate, spacels are very loving creatures though and love all their mates/spouses fully.

Proposals are seen as a grand and glorious thing, the ceremony is almost as glorious as the marriage ceremony, the spacel proposing will gather his/her/their community together to surprise the other spacel with a large beautiful gathering covered in flowers, plants and other wonderful decor, they spacel will show acts of how much they care for the other and then propose afterwards a huge feast is presented.

For royal proposal, it is usually set up in even bigger grander ways and broadcast to the other spacels once the ceremony starts.

### Ceremony Day

The pair and their families are separated from one another to get ready for the ceremony, this is so they won't see one another til the ceremony and are even blindfolded and moved in by their family and placed in the respective places at the ceremony and are not unblindfolded until it starts. The masculine spacel wears beautifully tailored armor and suit that elegantly flows and matches the schemes for the ceremony. The more feminine Spacel can also where as such is choose be but if no she wears a long beautiful dress embroidered with golds and silvers and other beautiful metals, then ends are covered in galaxies that are the color of their fluid and metal breast plate that is covered in jewels and beautiful trimming, they were a headdress that comes to the length of there tail at the end.

### Ceremony

Marriage ceremonies are large and made immaculate, they are to bond they spacel in everlasting life and to see to them that they are together forever, even if that doesn't always happen. The more masculine side of the couple not matter gender will take a small cut of his blood and make the mark of his soul on the side of the feminine spacel's shoulder and say his vows, this marks them as together, the feminine spacel will them take her blood and mark it over his head with her mark, marking them as forever. After this this the couple then ties there hand together with the thorn rope over there heart and or star markings and presses there foreheads together and whisper their verses until the sun or suns set and the stars illuminate their love.
