Normally I am proficient with cultures/peoples, but I am struggling with my “main” culture, the one a majority of my story is supposed to take place in. The main influences are Japan and Ireland, but I'm having difficulty meshing them [especially when it comes to clothing].
I know things the people value: pride in their country, being true to one's word, chastity, and zealous workers. However, they can be very superstitious, self righteous and judgemental [as they demonstrate each year in a festival basically rubbing in their victory of the most recent war].
The land itself is moorish, chilly and damp and green in the north but gradually goes from that to forests and meadows to a more mediterranean climate.
The people have brown hair and eyes. Occasionally black hair pops up -a sign of beauty- and rarely a blonde is born [not a sign of beauty]. I'd love another eye colour but frankly it's hard when all my other cultures/peoples have green, hazel, blue, lavender, and gold which leaves me limited with choices. Unless I feel like overlapping colours, and I'm unsure of how I feel about that.
I haven't developed the main religion much, I just know it's monotheistic. Any help or even questions are appreciated.
