'''Priorities''' To most Jin, life is about preparing for the end of life. This is not the case with most of the Jin of the Li'gon. While the Twice-Departed do take death seriously and consider a good death a high priority, to most of the Twice-Departed, a good death is meaningless without a good life, and they make this their greatest goal. Helping each other and providing for others is considered a duty, and selfishness and disregard for others is thought of as the worst quality someone could have. | '''Priorities''' To most Jin, life is about preparing for the end of life.

Though the Jin descended from the original Twice-Departed are generally far removed from the Jin culture of the rest of the sector, they are not incredibly different in temperament. They tend towards being thoughtful and philosophical, with a preference for minimalism and simplicity. Their differences lie in their willingness to be open and emotional with each other, and their lack of strict rules of decorum. The Jin of the Li'gon are much more of a warm people, displaying community values but also a live and let live philosophy. Many of the others who live in the Li'gon, not just the Jin, have similar personalities, though individuality is encouraged and celebrated. | |||
'''Relationships''' Relationships and family are generally quite important to the people of the Li'gon, though every person is different. Their families look like whatever they want them to look like, without much judgment or concern from others, as long as nobody is being hurt. | '''Relationships''' Relationships and family are generally quite important to the people of the Li'gon, though every person is different.
