Drexi culture is based on an age hierarchy. Families are multi-generational and elders are respected as keepers of wisdom and sources of information. | |||
Most Drexi take three bondmates in their lifetime – this is true for both sexes. | |||
A young Drexi is paired with an Elder for their first bond. The elder is expected to be a friend and mentor to the youth. This pairing strengthens bonds across generational lines, and provides a bond for the youth to mature into. This relationship may or may not be romantic – different tribes view the relationship in different ways, but there is no strict taboo for or against mating. | |||
When a Drexi reaches their middle ages, they take their second bondmate. This mate is almost always similar in age to them. This relationship is often the primary bond for having offspring | |||
When a Drexi becomes an Elder, they take a youth as their third bondmate and thus the cycle continues. Now they become the mentor, teaching the youth everything they have learned. | |||
Drexi children are often reared by the elder parents in the family unit. Middle aged Drexi are often called to serve their tribe in various roles – both on and off world. Youth and Elders tend to stay in the tribe and provide the foundation for raising children. With each Drexi having multiple bond connections within the tribe there is a strong sense of children being raised by the entire community. This makes the Drexi capable of working with one another and bonding with their own kind easily. | |||
