The Pasithee Position: Sailor Pasithee has the position of High Priest of the Water Goddess. Water is the gateway between life and death, and thus Sailor Pasithee stands at the gateway trapped. She cannot go to paradise, but must be reborn again and again to save her people. In the meantime, she does priestly things. She counsels, helps others move on through phases of life, even unto death itself, where she cannot travel herself, as she is immediately reborn in another. She performs religious ceremonies. She fights those who wish to destroy Pasithee.
Notable Locations:
Land: There is very little land on Pasithee, as it is a world of rivers, and waters. The main river is the Kafile. The little land there is, is considered Sacred, and none but Priests, the Pharaoh, and the Senshi are allowed upon it and only when doing the specific Sacred Duties that come with their special positions.
Water (the Kafile and other rivers): Most rivers connect to the Kafile in someway. The Kafile is the largest river on Pasithee. The people live off the water, living their lives in houseboats. The boats are usually made of river reeds, or rarely wood and reeds – boats mainly made of wood and reeds were usually brightly painted with hieroglyphs and hieroglyphics, however these were rare due to wood being a land based product and thus such boats were Sacred as well, although the population were allowed to come aboard during the day. These boats were Templeboats (as well homes to the Temple Priests), the Palaceship, home of the Pharaoh, as well as home of the Senshi.
Pharaoh's Palaceship: Home of the elected Pharaoh and his/her family, and also the center of most governing of the planet.
Templeships: Priests performed religious ceremonies on these ships and also lived on them.
Temple of The Senshi: Home and Main Base of the Senshi.
People:
The people were tall, with clear complexions, black hair, and skin tones that range from Middle Eastern to North African. Eyes were dark brown to black
Pharaoh: Leader of the Pasitheen People, can be Man or Woman. Elected and Stay in place until death, or until otherwise ousted by the people. Lives on Palaceship with his/her family.
Sailor Pasithee: Protector of the World and High Priestess of the Water Goddess. Usually fell to the females of a certain family lineage, at early chibi age, 10 years after the death of the last incarnation (called a Chaos Decade), and usually the eldest daughter. Usually.
Society/Culture:
Grammar: Someone from Pasithee or something of Pasithee's Culture is Pasitheen.
Diet: Fish, Seafood, and River Plants. “Water gives us life.”
Birth Rituals: Families gather, along with a Midwife-Priest, on boats and a Templeship in shallow water. The woman giving birth, her closest friends, and the Priest gather in the water and the birth takes place in the water. A Blue Lotus is given for the child to care for all their life (the family cares for it until the child is old enough). “From Water we are given to the world.”
Death RitualsWhen a person dies, a special, but simple reed boat with a small shelter is built. The body is placed within the shelter. There is a memorial service with a Priest, where the boat is lit on fire and then pushed off into the Waters of the Wild. The person's Blue Lotus is 'Released' to the Waters of the Wild to wander freely all of it's days, this is considered the soul is wandering which is their form of paradise. Only one soul is forbidden to be 'Released' (a fate not even forced upon the worst of criminals), the soul of the of Senshi must return to the World of the Living Waters again, again and again to make sure that the people of Pasithee are safe. “In death, we return to Water.”
Religon: The Water Goddess is the Creator, the Land is her rest. “Water is Life.”
The Priestly Code: “From Water we are given to the world. Water gives us life. In death, we return to Water. Water is Life. Water is All.”
The Waters of the Wild: These waters are considered dangerous, if not somewhat adventurous. However, most chose not to travel them, until they are Released. They are said to be the greatest Paradise of adventure.
Architecture: All of Pasitheen Architecture were boats and ships based on designs created by the Real-Life Egyptians.
Transportation:: Their homes, also being boats, were also the main form of transportation. There were also small, more agile boats that got around quicker, especially when the boats and ships got into a traffic jam. Also Horned Blue River Dolphin Dolphins are used as mounts.
Animals:
Horned Blue River Dolphins:This creature spears it food before it eats it, and and is easily and commonly trained as a mount on the world of Pasithee.
Pasitheen Blue Heron: A heron, blue in color, native only to Pasithee. The Female Gender is dominant. Sacred to the Water Goddess.
Blue Hedgehog: A blue hedgehog. Really cute, but used for food.
Featherless Ostrich: This heavy, featherless bird swims in the shallow waters. Domesticated for food source.
Water: At the Spring of the Kafile is usually where the Palaceship is located. The Senshi's Homeship is located to the right of the Palaceship, also usually. Templeships dot the rivers, moving where they're needed most. Houseboats move where they need to go.
