Precursor Fashion Pt. 4 is finally done!

(Parts 1 , 2, and 3 can be found here, here and here)

This time I focused more on the adults rather than the children as they will have their own post for later! But here we are, mostly focusing on the Golden Age and Post Traveler Era as these two tend to have the more subtle differences and such! Each pictures have a bit of info in regard to these styles and color choices as well but there is more under the read more!

Starting with the highest of Ranks, The Bajari and Nitanyo: -The Bajari's colors are of a deep green blue, in resemblance of the First Mother and Bajari as it was his favorite color. This is usually the color of all royals within the family, especially direct relatives of the Bajari. Their clothing is almost always the same with each successor that takes on the roll, mirroring the very first Bajari with a few minor changes to personal preferences. Heavy use of precious stones and silvers indicate the importance of rank as well as indicating the wealth they have.

-The Nitanyo (Co-Ruler) is given the colors of deep purple. These are the only individuals who wear this color within Precursor society and rank. This color signifies the status of co-rulership as well as devotion and loyalty to the Bajari (their spouse). Their clothing isn't nearly as elaborate as the Bajari's but signifies the same form of status of royalty given when the bond was formed in marriage. Their clothing also stays the same with each successor that takes on the role with minor changes in details. They bear the same heavy use of silvers and precious stones, but not quite as much as their spouse.

Nitayno's aid the Bajari in leading the people while also giving the most advice and counsel in terms of decisions. Should the Bajari be unable to rule and take a leave of absence, the Nitanyo takes over until they are able to do so.

Next is the remainder of the Royal family (direct family of the Bajari):

-Much like the Bajari they too wear the same deep green blue colors as their ruler to show they are both of the royal bloodline but also direct family members of said individual. Their clothing is just as elaborate as it is intricate and put together, resembling their status among the people while also distinguishing their ranks from the Bajari themselves. They were the same precious stones and silvers and are almost covered entirely from head to toe with barely much of their faces showing.

Members of this part of the family are often involved in political ties through marriages and other important sects delving into the Military, Religion, Economy, and Medicine.

Next rank is the direct family of the Nitanyo:

-These members of the family are easily distinguished by the red coloring assigned to them. These are individuals who are of direct family ties with the Nitanyo and are often involved as politicians and ambassadors when it comes to political work.

Though not considered as true royals, they do gain some of the benefits the status by being able to wear high amounts of silvers and a few of the precious stones reserved mostly for the royal family. However, the use of these precious stones is very minor during the Post-Traveler Era. Headcovers usually seen in the latter as well as in the Golden Age there wasn't much of a use for them in terms of protection. But with times changing and dangers becoming more present, the use of headcovers have come back into style to avoid any sorts of damage to their tendrils. However, some of them do style a portion of their tendrils to leave out as a stylistic choice.

Next rank comes the Nobility class:

-These individuals are marked by their blue colors in their clothing and fancy clothing. While elaborate and heavy robes are worn, how they are styled is entirely dependent on the individual. They utilize a lot of silver for jewelry to further distinguish their ranks from the common folks. Precious stones were once a standard sign of their wealth back in the Golden Age Era but now it has defaulted to silvers as such stones are no longer in use for this rank due to their rarity. However, even some do not use them as it is entirely on personal preference. Headcovers were also optional during the Golden Age but soon fell into favor into the Post-Traveler Era for both decorative means and protection.

These individuals are often found working in smaller roles of politics as aids and archivists while others busy themselves with architect roles, business ownership, manufacturing, maintaining shipping and trade routes, navigation, teaching, medicine, and military.

And lastly the rank of the common folk:

-Here, these individuals do not have a specific color assigned to them. Instead, they wear the uniform colors of blacks and grays with a variety of decorative robes that are simple but beautifully crafted from person to person. While they do wear jewelry, it is not as heavily used or bothered with. Instead, most of them tend to use it only for a decorative means if they so wish to. Headcovers tend to be optional between the Eras but are more favored in the Post Traveler Era for protection purposes. Their clothing is often used to accommodate their work to make it less of a hassle to move around.

These individuals are often those who work within hard labor jobs such as construction, maintenance of heavy machinery and construction, sanitation, farming and gathering, travel maintenance, some teaching and medicine, and care taking.

Another few parts will come for some other roles and such, but much later! Hope you all like these silly headcanons ^^
