New Colchis: People and Culture

Stereotypes

Hippy Freak

Wears a dress and sports long, unkempt hair and a stupid smile. They travel around in groups, singing and dancing and generally making fools of themselves.

Stern Warrior

Humourless, dependable and honourable. Wears strange anachronistic armour and clothes. Carries a sword and knows how to use it. Doggedly pursues his enemies to the ends of the Universe. It is this stereotype that is chiefly associated with New Colchis’ strange laws about punishing the re-born.

Although these stereotypes are well established, most Colchians who live abroad make a conscious effort to blend in. So, most foreigners will say that Wheelies are weird xenophobic nutters, except for the ones who they know personally, who seem quite normal really.
