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 also reflects a minor degree of automatic bias (preference/acceptance), and an inherent rejection of the value of ideas and goods outside the culture.

Common Standards: Social Standing/Status is reflected directly in a Standard of Living and indirectly in Clothing and signifiers such as Prestige in Places as well as Items and Marks. Conversely, such things may also be used to reflect or even present a specific level of Prestige fame, etc. A certain measure of such things may be required in Social Dealings and leveraged by Social Features and expected by Contact and shared bond of culture. All of these may vary by Availability and culture within a Setting and/or specific Properties of a Locale/Settlement.

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).
