How were the identities constructed?
As you can see they are derived from the civil status combined with the vocation. The original formulation is found in the Bhagavad Gîtâ: it is the system of the Lord called the varnâs’rama system made up of spiritual departments of celibacy, married life, withdrawn life and detachment called resp. brahmacârya, grihastha, vânaprastha and sannyâs. This has been translated for the game into the status of civil conduct as being a student, an attached person, a withdrawn person and a detached person. The vocation pertains to the original division in classes of society: labor or s’ûdras (called friendship), traders or vaishya’s (called provision), leaders or kshatriya’s (called initiative), and intellect/priesthood or brahmins (called guidance) which on itself has been subdued to the levels of commitment called modes in this game. This subduing is essential for the game to dispel the falsehood of the unreformed caste-hindu.
