	The government is run by an upper and lower council, taking charge of various sections of the city or areas of finance like imports and trade or tourism. There is typically a lead of each council, elected by council members, and new council members are rarely from outside of the inner social circles they reside in. Most of the time, council members will privately select and train their replacements, unless they are impeached.

	Lower cities/underground (Ara’ki) is much less governed and typically run by gangs and policed through violence. ~~They~~ are seen as “barbaric” by those living in Kleos Doxa, ~~and living~~ an unattractive lifestyle.

Lower cities/underground (Ara’ki) is much less governed and typically run by gangs and policed through violence. The lower council is run by the affluential heads of the city, usually in kahoots with mafia organizations or money laundering to stay on top.

			The people of Ara'ki are seen as “barbaric” by those living in Kleos Doxa, iving an "unattractive" lifestyle. It is very difficult to get out of the lower cities due to high crime, low income, and poor education.

	Sonyx typically live in large, floating metropolises with a plethora of nightlife, shows, concerts, and ''typically illegal but easily ~~obtained~~ substances''. The wealthy have since migrated to the surface, despite the dreaded sunlight during the day, while those who are less fortunate live underneath the city amongst sewer systems and ancient tunnels. Above ground, most live in penthouses, apartments, but rarely is there a stand-alone house. Ara’ki is mostly shacks and worn down infrastructure.

	Family structure is very similar to Western culture, with a heavy push for children to be able to start working early and advance themselves in their careers to hopefully excel in life and support the family later on. There is a lot of pressure put on the young, regardless of wealth, to make it to the top and have enough to live a lavish life while allowing for their parents to leave the workplace and have peace. Retirement systems are not commonplace as many workers are independent contractors without benefits, making it difficult to fully quit a job even when elderly unless you are able to save.

	Sonyces have two distinct genotypes affecting ~~colors~~, the dominant gene allowing for brighter, more colorful variations often with pinks, purples, blues, and greens. Historically, the species has been much more darker and moody in colors, with deeper shades of similar color palettes. Those with the recessive gene are more often found in Ara’ki, hidden below the cities, and arguably “less desirable” when it comes to garnering attention for popularity.

	Sonyx have excellent hearing and are mostly nocturnal. They are visually impaired, with many struggling to read smaller print found on other planets. Due to this, the majority of the species knows how to read through tactical writing with raised words and symbols, along with most of the technology being offered with audio features to allow for usage even for those rendered completely blind. Bright lights are often painful due to light sensitivity, and the dark is much more comforting. Despite this, Kleos Doxa is known for their spectacular light shows during the night.

	- ~~insert stratos lore here~~
			==== Caelune ====
			Prior to the Hollow, the Sonyx and the Caelune rarely interacted unless it was necessary or by chance. After the creation of the Exo Alliance, interspecies communities bloomed and allowed less tension-filled engagement. Due to the religious society of the Caelune contrasting so heavily with the free-spirited Sonyx, it's unlikely for the average Sonyx to get along with a devout Caelune unless it's for parley. Both species acknowledge the importance of one another, but Sonyx society finds the Caelunes to be uptight and unnecessarily religious.

-The Sonyx are moderately tall beings on average with heights ranging from 4’5’’ to 6’0’’, naturally with some outliers here and there. They have fluffy, dense hair on their heads that is typically worn in big, bold styles with plenty of volume and personality. Depending on genetics, some may have longer body coats than others, ranging from areas with lengthy patches of “fluff” to only a thin layer of fuzz covering skin. The Sonyx are one of the two winged, sentient species on Stratos, however due to hardships in the past and devolution, as well as reliance on technology, they cannot fly independently and only can glide and coast on wind currents. Their wings can either be attached to arms and hands, making for a total of 4 limbs, or detached for a total of 6 limbs. The wings vary in size, typically arm’s width especially if attached, however there is room for variation through genetic diversity. The Sonyx have two large ears, elongated fangs, and various fur coverage. Traditional Sonyx have snout-like faces, and small eyes, though contacts are worn by many.

 Regardless of location, all Sonyx love self decoration and accessories. Jewelry, tattoos, and glow-in-the-dark body painting can be seen on almost any Sonyx.
