	Earliest records of the Kami indicate that in the ancient tongue Kami means ‘godly people’. Unfortunately the Kami suffer from an unwavering belief in their own divinity. The larger body of the Kamian race believe they are chosen by God to rule the [[Multi-Verse]], and anyone who stands in their way should be crushed. The extremists amongst the Kami believe they are Gods and the only ones with the right to live in the Multi-Verse, and engage in genocide to ‘cleanse’ the Multi-Verse of all other peoples. To say all Kamians are violent, warmongering psychopaths would not be a racial stereotype, because all Kamians are in fact violent, warmongering psychopaths.

	All Kamians live in large family units, usually around four generations, sometimes longer depending on the family's social and economic status. Their houses are enormous, with many rooms and suites, though usually sharing a single, large, industrial-style kitchen and always - without exception - a large dining room. This one custom permeates all of Kamian life: in every household, the entire family eats dinner together.

This one custom permeates all of Kamian life: in every household, the entire family eats dinner together.

	Kamian culture is stratified. There is no strict ~~cast~~ system, but ~~like~~ any civilization there are classes in play. Curiously, before the [[Kamian Succession Wars\|war]], Kamians actually enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the verse, with over 40% of their population belonging to the upper class.

Curiously, before the [[Kamian Succession Wars\|war]], Kamians actually enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the verse, with over 40% of their population belonging to the upper class. This was possible because they practiced slavery.

	*'''''Upper Class:''''' Many Kamians lived on large "working estates"; large tracts of land with the family home at the center. These estates were surrounded by farm land and were primary food producers. The estate may also be involved in some other enterprise outside of agriculture, by the goal was to make the grounds self-supporting. Each estate would need a small army of slaves to work the fields, who usually lived in a small village on the grounds. The house would also draw ~~it's~~ staff of servants from the village. In these cases, little modern farming equipment was used, as the steady and large supply of slave labor made industrialization unnecessary. It did create a very interesting juxtaposition wherein the poor had advanced technology, and the rich did not.		*'''''Upper Class:''''' Many Kamians lived on large "working estates": large tracts of land with the family home at the center.

	*'''''Middle Class:''''' On middle-class estates, the family ~~home's~~ were much less decadent, more functional, and the family did most of the farming work. They owned few slaves, if any, and relied much more heavily on machinery and modern farming techniques. It made for a curious comparison, two estates may sit side by side, one using tractors to plow the field, the other doing it by hand with hoes. Urbanite middle-class families were generally focused around a ~~buisness~~, such as a ~~groser~~ or a factory. Often times the family might have several small business around a specific theme, usually something requiring artistry. In the city, the family might operate a mill and several carpentry and construction companies, and ~~then~~ a branch of the family could own an estate in the country where they managed a woodland. Most middle-class families did not own slaves, instead ~~relying~~ on family members to carry out the labor. Only very occasionally ~~did~~ did they hire "employees", usually from the lower-class.		*'''''Middle Class:''''' On middle-class estates, the family homes were much less decadent, more functional, and the family did most of the farming work.

	*'''''Lower Class:''''' Low-class Kamian families were typically smaller, sometimes the products of unsuccessful split-offs of middle class families. These were the "working" families who did not have a business or land of their own to work, and survived by working for more prominent families. These families also provided the bulk of lower-ranking Kamian soldiers. They also ~~preformed~~ well in many expert fields, most doctors came from lower-class families.		*'''''Lower Class:''''' Low-class Kamian families were typically smaller, & sometimes the products of unsuccessful split-offs of middle class families.

	Kamians practice monogamous pairings. When a male child comes of age and takes a wife, he moves her to his father's house.

	A ~~female child~~ will invariably move into her husband's father's house. If she does not take a husband, she will continue to live in her own father's house.

	Single adults who have never been married are unheard of in Kamian society, as are same-sex relationships. Though pederasty is hinted in many ancient records, there is indication that same-sex activity is highly stigmatized and relationships simply not tolerated. Since there are no single-occupancy dwellings, individuals do not have much freedom to break with tradition.

	The Kami have a long and highly-ritualized tradition of handing out titles, not to their own soldiers, but to their enemies.

The Kami, like the [[Marcon Alliance]], have a long and highly-ritualized tradition of handing out titles, not to their own soldiers, but to their enemies. These titles are always given in the traditional Kamian tongue and have only rough translations. During the [[Kamian Succession Wars\|Succession Wars]], earning a title was considered a badge of honor for soldiers fighting the Kami.

	Among the most sought-after titles were "much-hated foe" and "much-hated blood enemy" ([[Hunter Jusenkyou]] was notoriously the youngest individual to earn the latter title). Titles could be given to individuals, units, ships, or entire nations. The [[Ritats]], for example, infamously earned the title of "much-hated foe".

	Though many Kamians marry for love, arranged marriages are not uncommon. Unlike other aspects of the culture, these pairings are typically carried about very casually. Usually a man who has not yet found a wife will be paired with a girl a few years younger than himself. The introduction will often be made by his mother, who may enlist a matchmaker.

	Men re-marry more often than women, being almost twice as likely to take a second wife. Women are not discouraged, but remarriage for them would mean leaving the deceased husband's family.

	Of particular note is Kamian advancement in shield technology and metallurgy.

How they acquired it is a matter of some debate, but the Foundation is adamant that they "did not come by [the technology] on their own". During the Succession Wars, Kamian Multi-spatial shielding and hull-armor coupled with advanced designs and incredibly strong materials, rendered their warships virtually invulnerable. Similar systems were used on mecha. Curiously, the technology was only ever employed on capitol-class ships and mechs, leaving their fighters and escort vessels vulnerable to conventional weapons.
