Traditions, Ceremonies, Religion, and beliefs

Coming of Age traditions and ceremonies -
Age of Maturity is considered age 16. It is a time when a Teen is considered spiritually and physically mature. On their 16th birthday, the child undergoes a ceremony called Masha, where they are initiated into the Tribe as an adult. They adopt a second name which is added onto their Birth name. example: John Smith, Becomes, John William Smith. This second name is only used in ceremonies, spells, and when inside the temples, and on sacred ground, and is typically only told to close family members, spouses, and infants.
The ritual for the young male involves shaving his head, and for the young female to receive their first haircut. Both genders take off their Nicco, an amulet worn to mark and protect underage youth, which one then burns in dedication to the gods, they then bath in the sacred hot spring, which the sacred temple is built next to. They dress in the traditional formal garment, and walk the steps to the top of the temple with, chosen family members and priestess/priest behind them holding candles. Once at the top they pray to the Gods for an hour or more, and then they ring the bell to signify they are no longer a child. They leave the temple, the family and friends gather for a celebration feast and dance that last all night. They are given a small blessed stone called a Caffa, it is used like a worry/pray stone, and is kept in their pocket/bag from then on.

Marriage traditions and ceremony -
Brides wedding dress, are embroidered, with shells, bead, gems, and silk yarn dyed beautiful colors. Its worn during the ceremony, festivities, dances, and feast. After the wedding the dress repurposed into a marriage/fertility tapestry that normally hangs over the couple’s bed. Hair is typically worn in braids and pinned with flowers. Henna is also a tradition for the bride to have on her hands, feet, and sometimes back.
Grooms wear a traditional wedding tunic and cape. Worn into the temple for the ceremony and vows with his bride, and then to the festivities, dances, and feast. Normally the Wedding tunic is passed down from father to son, or is borrowed from good friends, many mothers of the groom like to make new unique capes for their sons, with fancy embroidery, and stitching.

The Vow Ceremony is held in the temple. The groom and the bride each walk down separate paths that form into one, where they clasp hands and walk to the alter together as family and friends stand on both sides of the path, holding flowers/candles, and humming the marriage song. When the couple reaches the alter they kneel down in front of a priestess who then places her hands on each of their heads. The humming stops, and the priestess begins chanting the scared marriage prayer to the gods, and then she goes on to give the couple their unique blessing (fertility, longevity, protection, luck, prosperity, happiness, harmony, friendship, vitality, honesty, hope, etc...). Then the priestess asks them to rise to their feet, which they do, and she ties a rope around their grasp hands. She then pours wine over their bound hands, and asked the bride to say her Vows, and then the Groom. They then kiss, and all of the family members and friends cheer, and whistle. The newlyweds then each take apart the bound rope around their hands, and kiss again. More cheering. The bride and groom followed by their closest relative leave the temple and head to the village center were the wedding festivities, dances, and feast is held. Joining everyone in the celebration feast, they sit next to one another. After the feast there is dancing, and such to be had. This goes on until midnight, when the music and dancing slows, and lanterns are lit and left to float into the night sky. Family, Relatives, and good friends, give gifts and blessings to the couple as the leave to their homes. The couple then spends there first night together in their new home.

- Funerals -
After the death the funeral begins, the body is laid out in the temple on woven blankets made from dried vines and left for two day and two nights, for people to mourn and pray over. In the morning on the third day, the body is cradled in the woven blanket and carried by four men to the spiritual ground behind the temple. Family and Friends dress in black and grays as they follow behind. The priests place the blanket & body in the large hallowed stone table full of dry woods and herbs. The spouse/parents/next of kin have sewn together the deceased old clothes into a quilt which is stuffed with dry grass and leaves. The quilt is placed over the body by the family. The priest/ priestess chants the departing prayer as they poor blessed oil over the body. The body is then cremated, the oils and herbs turning the flame blue. After, the ashes are collected and mixed with clay, and are made into beads, then painted by family members and hung in a tree, thrown in the volcano, or left to drift at sea.

Village News and rumors bulletin.

- As of late the village oracle has proclaimed in a cryptic riddle way that basically "A huge boat caring many dead and only a handful of living will come to the north shores, and bring with them change to the island. Good or bad depends on the future paths."
(a boat will soon dock on the north shores, with only five living men, and many dead bodies. They are from Europe, lost at sea for many week, practically everyone died from starvation and illness. Five living men left see Calliope Island, and dock the ship hoping to find food, knowing nothing of the natives of the island.)

The Ship Info

The captain owner of the Ship "Valacia", and his crew were hired by explorers/traders/merchants to transport and give passage, so they could conduct and establish trade in Asia. Sadly the ship got caught in a bad storm only three days into the journey. They expected to only be off course a bit, The ships Navigator man seemed flustered, and a bit spooked. The compasses would only spin around and around, and the stars all seemed to be in the wrong place in the sky. No land to be seen anywhere. The Ship has been lost at sea for two months. Dehydration, starvation, and illness set in, taking half the crew with it. In the end there were only five survivors. All who completely lost hope, and then they spotted land in the distance.

Language bearer help

Italicize = Europe English

Embolden = Tribal Language - Sounds somewhat like Japaneses to an English speaker.

500 years ago people from Europe landed on their shores so the tribe people know basic/choppy English, having books, and scroll written in English from 500 years ago for study. The Temple priest/priestesses are more versed in the language.

Sadly two years later his wife died giving birth to there second child Denna, a little girl. Widowed with two young children, a young midwife by the name Pia came to care for the children. Pia was the midwife who delivered Bo and had always been a caretaker to the family. Five years passed and one night Masao and Pia slept together in a heat of the moment, they love one another but with Masao having been married it was believed his soul was bound to his wife until he died, so marriage was not possible. Nine months later Vivi was born under the first full moon of the new year. Born early, she was a small baby, who looked fragile to the touch, white as snow skin, and big light eyes, the tribes old wise woman commented that Vivi looked like a little ghost. Masao and Pia lived together, she was a mother to Vivi, Denna, and Bo, and unmarried wife to Masao.

Growing up was like a little adventure within its self, the canyon, and caves in the mountains being home to many dragons, and magical creatures. The rocky volcanic land always had lizards, and snakes lounging around in the sunshine, and was even home to some rare man eating flowers. Vivi would play in the tropical forest with her siblings, cousins, and the other village children, climbing trees, racing, hunting, and gathering mushrooms. She went swimming in the Lagoon practically every day, and during the summer would go looking for fire bugs, moon stones, and fairy dust with her sister up in the volcano mountains, and forest. During the rainy months she would sit by the fire with her family, and paint, or help her mother with weaving on the loom, as her father sang songs, and told stories, When she was seven her mother got ill, Vivi spent her most of her time beside her mothers bed, pressing flowers, reading, embroidering scraps of fabric, and singing to her mother. Pia's health never got better and she died only a month later from pneumonia. Vivi mourned for her mother, crying alone in her hiding place in the forest was how she spent many weeks, but she came to peace with her mothers passing and the days slowly went back to normal.

Vivi and her friends spent many days exploring the forest, and diving for pearls in the ocean. She watched her father and Bo bring home the prized stag and a big feast was held, even as a nine year old she dance the night away with her friends and cousins. Her father nicknamed her Little Bird because she was so small but had the song voice of the birds. Singing was a talent of hers, and she sang at Bo Masha party. Having been born on the night of a full moon she was one of the few villagers with a spirit animal, that granted her abilities. Her Spirit animal was a falcon. When she turned thirteen she starting having a crush on ____. Not that she let him know, it was a one sided thing, and she was only friends with him. She had her Masha ceremony when she was 16, and ended up getting drunk for the first time off wine, but over all it was a fun night, in the morning she made a vow to never drink again having one of the worst headaches ever.

As of late the village oracle has proclaimed in a cryptic riddle way that basically "A huge boat caring many dead and only a handful of living will come to the north shores, and bring with them change to the island. Good or bad depends on the future paths." Vivi and her good friend ___ have been climbing the trees to the top, to spot the far off north shores, but to no avil seeing as the mountains are in the way. The village on the south shores, the chief is still talking with the elders and advisers about what to do. Weather to send people to the north shore to great the visitors, or let them stay on the north shore with knowledge of the tribes location. The scouts sent up the mountains have not signaled that anyone has yet arrived. Vivi hopes to meet these new arrivals, even after hearing the warning that they could be violent barbarians, carnivores, or something terrible like wondering spirits of the dead.

Background:

Everyone remembers Henwen and Gerti Luzeil. Twins, a duo. Growing up basically attached at the hip, always together. Raised by there mother Aofie, and father Junjun. Nothing could ever touch the bond shared between the Luziel twins. Both were not only stars at everything they did, but also extremely smart as well. During the summer of their eleventh year, they where swimming in the ocean. A Storm was coming but being amazing swimmers and have fun they thought little of it. From inseparable to alone in the blink of an eye. Gerti went under the waves and never came back up. Henwen though it was a prank at first but after about three minutes she still didn't pop up to scare him or grab his leg from under the water. He dived under the water looking for her, shouting her name, his best friend Bo ran into the water to help, as did many other villagers. Her body turned up near the rock about an hour later. She was gone. Henwen blamed himself, it had been his idea to go swimming that day, in the waves, and Gerti had wanted to go hiking. Guilt, Regret, and anger took over his life, and he shut himself off from the rest of his family. He was never able to face his own refection again; he could never forgive himself for living. The fact that everything stayed the same in the world, after his sister wasn't in it anymore, freaks him out. The Henwen everyone knew and loved was gone. And in his place was a angry closed off boy.

The years went by, he started to apprentice under his father as a fisherman. Learning the ropes, do and don't.

Job/Profession on ship: Representative of the Treasury
Weapons/Possessions: Pocket watch, paper and quill, single dueling pistol
Family/Relationships: Father-Samuel Hyatt
Skills:
Background: Sven Hyatt was born into money as an only child and raised by his father Samuel Hyatt. Sven's father worked for the royal court as the Master of the Treasury. Like most kids, Sven dreamed of sailing out beyond the horizon and exploring the unknown. Dueling with pirates and discovering new land fueled his imagination. His father however, had different plans in mind for him. For Samuel, his only son would one day take his place and his name in the royal court. Samuel made sure to impress the importance of this future upon Sven, and so his son reluctantly let go of the promise of adventure. Being just as ambitious as his father, Sven grew up with every intention of surpassing him and proving his worth.
Sven's tutors and his father's business associates watched the boy with a critical and suspicious eye. As he began to learn his father's trade, Sven developed a knack for being mischievous in his spare time. Considered to be a young man in his teens, he became quite the ladies man by drawing women in with his sharp looks and coin in his pocket. Most of that coin of course ended up going into the pockets of said young women. Samuel Hyatt became ill one winter and his health began to gradually decline. As he became more and more bed-ridden, the prospect of taking his place in the royal court started to become a reality for Sven.
That was until Sven's escapades were discovered by his father. The son of a treasurer who threw his father's money at the women of the local tavern had no business or future working for the court. With shame, and much to Sven's dismay, Samuel exposed his son. The court, already aware of Sven's roguish behavior, decided to get rid of him. The court would sponsor an exploration of the seas and Sven Hyatt, son of the Master of the Treasury, would represent the Treasury. He would oversee the court's investment and the expedition, with his own eyes of course.

Denna was his new white haired baby sister, who he adored. Being only about three years old he didn't understand that his mother was gone, but he cried when his father cried, and all he wanted to know was were his mommy went. Pia the midwife came to stay with them, and take care of him and his sister, as his father worked as the head of the hunters. Widowed with two young children, he was rather lost and upset when he was idle, and not working. Pia was always fun, but rather strict, life went on and Bo turned five, all the while coming to love Pia as his mother. He began to notice how happy Pia made her father, making him laugh, and so on. A year later Pia gave birth to Bo's second little sister, Vivi.

Bo's father was sad, but he didn't show his emotions very easily anymore. Bo took to the ocean, spending most of his time diving for fish and shells with his friends, he was upset but it was easier for him to come to terms with Pia passing.

So Bo did everything he could to prove himself to the chief, Kissa fell in love with him. The chief gave in to the young stubborn hard working Bo. After only six months Bo and Kissa married.

Bill's time in the orphanage was unpleasant to say the least. The nuns always seemed to find some reason or other to give the boys a whipping. Timothy came by every few months with sweets, and tales of his time at sea. When was Peter fourteen he left the orphanage to train as a sculptor in Italy, sponsored by an art patron who saw his small works one evening. Bill was eleven and sick of living in the orphanage. When Timothy came to visit, he begged his older brother to take him with, out to sea. Timothy finally agreed, and even got his captain to take Bill as his cabin boy.

From eleven till now he has been working his way up as a sailor. The Ship he has been on for the past two months has been lost at sea. Dehydration, starvation, and illness set in, taking half the crew with it. The ships Navigator seemed to have gone mad. The compasses would only spin around and around, and the stars all seemed to be in the wrong place in the sky. Finding there way home was become a pointless dream. More of the Crew was dying off, and then sadly his brother Timothy took his last breath. A week later, a ship full of the dead, and only four survivors not including himself, they see land!
