Home to Kharites, Sundrinkers, Lunids, Albires and many more races, Kharis is a highly militarily-influenced country where most beings are not allowed the luxury of showing emotion in public. That privilege belongs to the three Supreme Leaders and people lucky enough to become Performers. The Public Emotion law is exercised strictly inside the walled capital city of Patria, but is not followed as carefully in the many villages scattered across the country. Abuse is common, often the product of pent-up frustration being released at home. So, most beings have bruising, wounds and scars; regardless of age, gender, or station. |
