Catalognaut Signature

A Catalognaut's connection to the catalog results in a constant "magic leakage" of conceptual energy between the Heavenly Realm and the catalognaut. This transfer of energy emits a Vitium Field excitation which interacts with the magic leakage of other catalognauts. This allows attentive catalognaut to feel the presence of others of their kind in their vicinity.

Foxhelm

The template followed by the most heavily armored Goddess Faithful Death Masks. These helmets usually combine the functionalities of a full-face helm and a high-chuubanitic content Death Mask. Some optional features include chuubanitic diamonds, a layer of rrat field-negating gold plating, or Mori quartz lenses to increase field of vision while maximizing protection.

Handheld Vitaiho

This break action shotgun style weapon feature two miniature Vitaihos. The reloading mechanism allows for re-firing in short order, and the barrel size allow for the use of either high caliber explosive bullets, or high spread flechette ammunition.

Empochiba

Name given to open-air Deadbeat bazaars. Renowned for amassing exotic products from all over the world, and always include a well-maintained fish market.

Deadbeat Marriage Presents

Deadbeats have two ritualized wedding gifts.

The first is the "Bone Promise". The fiancées are to hunt down an animal with a chuubanitic growth, and create a fetish with it. It often takes the form of earrings, or a pendant made with sea shells. A great hunter might make their fetish with a claw or bone piece from a great beast. It has to be checked for sufficient blessedness by a Goddess Faithful official.

The second is the "Soul Promise". This is a veil, which can be ornate or minimalistic. This piece of cloth is kept by person for the remainder of their life, so a durable material is preferred. Fine cloth of silver is popular, platinum as well for richer folks. It may be worn for official proceedings.
As for surnames, the two individuals keep their own surname. Weddings have no legal implications, so they're freely dissolved. Children will usually take the name of the individual of higher professional status, with the following traditional priority list: Clergypeople > Warriors > Craftsmen > Everything else. But there are plenty of exceptions.

Jitofurin

Word for one of Moriji's naval academies, likely ran by the Black Fleet.
