The major religion of Peth is the Church of the One Above, a pantheistic religion whose main deity is a sky father figure from which the church draws it's name. The main tenants of this faith include a tolerance of all people who believe in the faith and attempting to convert those who do not, the godliness of the human body, and that by doing good deeds believers will have good fortune in life. The Church, as it is often called, does not preach of an after life but rather goodness in life, there is no heaven or hell of any kind. They instead believe in a form of karma, in this case the sum of ones good and bad deeds are given spiritual form as a kind of daemon. This being follows its creator and influences that persons fortune. Evil spirits can only be chased away by strengthening ones good spirit. The One Above is the creator of these spirits and thus is a judging figure as to what good and bad exactly are. The church has put these decrees together in a book known as the “One Scripture” which is required reading for all followers and serves as the basis of the faith. Minor gods also exist that rule over minor aspects of life, but they have recently been reimagained as a more angelic figures that serve as the One Above's as messengers and warriors. The leaders of the Church consists of men and women who are appointed by the previous group of leaders. Most of the churches leaders are of the human race and they often wield great power in Peth's governmental and cultural life.
It is also notable that education is highly valued in Pethian culture. Most humans attend school till the age of 18 or 19 at which time they graduate into the world of work, though who hope to be mages often join a guild to practice their trade. Others go on to one of Peth's many technical schools. Here those not gifted with magic work towards a job building and maintaining machines, buildings, and various other constructs. Primary and secondary school are run by local governments, while most of the technical and magic academies are run by and paid for by guild heads and other powerful individuals. Since its establishment, about 500 years ago, this system has kept industry and life in Peth running at a chipper pace.
Racily Peth is a fairly diverse place, with the most common race being Humans, who make up 75 percent of Peth's population. Humans evolved from an earlier race of ape like creatures and are known to be very industrious, often working as mages, tinkers, inventors, warriors, and many, many other things. Most range from 5' 4”- 6' 2” in height and weigh between 120 and 200 pounds. They are a moderately spiritual race, with most believers within the race belonging to the Church of the One Above.
Method of Arrival on Station: Doria will be stumbling into the station in the form of the rodent that Dol forced her into before casting her into the trash. As she was quite shaken during the experience, Doria was mostly unsure of what she was doing.
Physical Appearance: Originally, Doria was a fairly normal looking human girl with long blond hair and a medium build. However, after being subjected to Dol's experiments, Doria's form shifted dramatically, taking on the appearance of the local fish-folk that populate Senith's water ways. This was due to the fact that the fish-folk were the least beings Doria had been in contact with before her transformation. Her form is very mutable and subject to changing at a moments notice. In other words, if Doria was exposed to any one form for an extended period of time it would replace her current state as her so called “basic” form.
