 +The Elysian Plebeian makes up the underclass of the [[faction:elysia:elysian_celestial_empire]] – they are both the majority of the population, the workers and the low rank specialists. It is not only a social rank, but also a racial one – Elysian Plebeians are not pure Elysians, but are ‘tainted’ with [[species:human|human]] blood which makes them smaller, weaker and as the [[species:patricians]] (and indeed the Plebeians) see it – inferior.
  
-===== About the Elysian Plebeian  ===== +In appearance the Elysian Plebeian is similar to the [[species:human]], normally somewhat taller than a human but with poor posture which bring their normal stature to only around six feet. As notable from their mongrel heritage this is largely variable – along with much of an Plebeian’s physique. They are usually malnourished, and so their physical strength is usually below that of a human – and the wings on their backs are normally small, scrawny and completely useless. Plebeians rarely live over the age of sixty due to poor living conditions.

 Plebeians are fiercely subservient to their Patrician masters and to their nation, but also have a knack at surviving and ingenuity bred by their difficult lives. Plebeians are fiercely subservient to their Patrician masters and to their nation, but also have a knack at surviving and ingenuity bred by their difficult lives.

-The Plebeians are the workers and the underclass of the empire. Their entire lives are spent working, usually for a Patrician, hard and for little reward. Their personalities are always subservient to those of a higher rank than they are – especially to Patricians, but at the same time they are a very hard work, passionate and in many ways brave people. This bravery and devotion is sprung out of ‘national [[elysia:Kleos]]’ – the idea that they are working for the eternal glory of Elysia. This often leads to the idea that the nation is more important than they are, and a high degree of self-sacrifice.+The Plebeians are the workers and the underclass of the empire.

 Plebeians are rarely educated, but posses an eager intellect and an ingenuity which (when allowed to flourish) can produce remarkable results. They especially have a knack for mechanics and engineering – things which the Patricians consider inferior to art or organic science. Plebeians are rarely educated, but posses an eager intellect and an ingenuity which (when allowed to flourish) can produce remarkable results.
