A strong shared bond of culture requires all characters in it to have the same Cultural Experience. It implies both loyalty and a certain amount of understanding how the typical thought process will play out to better coordinate immediate outcomes. It does reflect a minor degree of automatic bias (preference/acceptance), and an inherent rejection of the value of ideas and goods outside the culture. The characters are considered to have come together, drawn by similar interests and values of their culture, and banded together to pool resources. The benefits of a Cultural bond can only be gained if all character take it during the time of Character Inception. The benefits are gained for all characters (minimum 4 or 2/3 of the party).
