Peinitatas and You

What is a Penitatas?

A Penitatas is one of many adults who are sent to the Rejuvenalization Chamber for one or more of multiple reasons.  The age of transformation is chosen completely at random between 3-6 and very rarely will you see a 7 year old.  There are different classes and groups of Penitatas in the Simply Virtuoso Universe.  You can tell a normal child from Penitatas is the collar that never comes off and holds a letter and stretches to fit comfortably.

Divisions of Penitatas

Criminales

Criminales are the majority of the Penitatas in the groups, making up about 65% of the Penitatas Collective.  About 50 of the 65% of Criminales are divided into the main two divisions, Soft and Hard Cycles.  The Hard and Soft Cycles are punished with how many cycles, the time it takes for a Penitatas take to go from the age they started at to the age of 13, and the type of punishment

Soft Cycle (White “C” Collar with a black letter outline) One of the two biggest classes of Criminales, Soft Cycles are adults who was accused of a minor crime that wouldn’t necessary mark them as the dangerous of the dangerous criminals. and don’t get punished as much Hard Cycles being they are not the most dangerous criminals around, but get the occasional spanking from their parents.

Crimes that Warrant a Soft Cycle

•	Possession of Illegal Firearms* (5 Cycles)
•	Possession of Illegal Substances* (10 Cycles)
•	Possession of Drug Paraphernalia* (20 Cycles)
•	Petty Theft (Depends on what was stolen 1 Cycle per item for minor stuff (ex. candy and soda), 20 per item for medium stuff (ex. Skipping out on a check)

*Legal Grey area that applies to both Hard and Soft dependent on use or quantity.

Hard Cycle Criminale (Black “C” Collar with white letter outline) The other biggest class of Criminales and the dangerous of the dangerous criminals, Hard Cycles are adults accused of major crimes and are given the fullest extent of the Penitatas punishment, which are spankings that follow certain procedures, disciplinary soap, and switchings on Christmas.

Crimes that Warrant a Hard Cycle

•	Grand Theft Auto (5 Cycles) (Virtuoso)
•	Robbing a Bank, Museum, or Casino (12 for normal casinos, 15 for normal banks, 20 for museums, 24 for Resistence casinos, and 24 for Federal banks) (Stella)
•	Assaulting an Officer of the Law (20 for normal police and 50 for F.B.I.P. officers)
•	Possession of Illegal Substances with the Intent to Sell* (20 Cycles)
•	Murder* (45 Cycles for civilians, 65 for normal police, 90 for Penitatas, and 95 for F.B.I.R. officers)
•	Rape (45, plus a gender change**)

*Legal Grey area that applies to both Hard and Soft dependent on use or quantity.
** Gender Change depends on if the opposite gender that was raped.

Innocente Criminale (White “I” Collar with black letter outline) The rarest form of Criminales.  These are the people that was turned into Criminales that the system accidentally punished.  When they make a mistake and catch on, they change the icon on the collar and give their families compensation for the mistake.  So far, there has been only 150 Innocente Criminales in the world.

Parole Criminale (Outline of their White or Black “P” outline on their collar) A Criminale that the Board of Corrections has deemed to be reformed and ready to go out into society by looking at the records and talking to witnesses.  If the court deems that they are capable of parole, then they are taken to a special machine to erase them from the Penitatas records and grow up like normal.  If they don’t think they are, then they will make them continue to serve their time.

Militare Criminales

A sub-division of Criminales, these are low-down dirty traitors to their respective military.  If someone has one of these Criminales, it’s their duty to mainly keep their asses burning red and sore.

Militare Criminale (Black “M” Collar with a white letter outline) These are criminals who betrayed minor armies (Resistence, Rebellion, ect.)  Unlike regular Criminales, they don’t go to school and forced with parents of the military they betrayed. (Ex. Paul betrayed the Resistence and forced to have Danny, Tamara, and Minato as parents, due to Danny being in the Resistence)

Severe Militare Criminale (Just a collar) An invention of the U.S Remnants to punish the United Countries of Dandarido for defeating them.  They usually harass Resistence in an attempt to win back their lands.  They are locked in a compound and beat three times a day, plus it accounts for 7% of a Penitatas deaths in the U.C.D. alone.

Other Penitatas

Di Volontartiatos (White “D” with a black letter outline) The second largest Penitatas ground with 15% of the group.  These are adult you chose to be Penitaatas due to them being too old to take care of themselves, want to make new friends, take advantage of learning as a child, or to study the effects of Penitatas Punishment on the body and psyche.

Medico (White “M” Collar with a black letter outline) This is the third largest group with about 10% of the group.  This group consist of people who were either injured to the point of no recovery or got illnesses medical science cannot cure, usually on request of the person or their family.  If they have any family, they usually go to the family no matter license.  If no family lives in case of elderly people, they get the Criminales Roulette for a mom and dad.  It’s rarer to see a mixture of this (Ex. Virtuoso stole a car and has a degenerative eye condition since birth.)

Guidelines for Penitatas and Their Parents

Here are some guidelines that Penitatas and Parents must abide to:

3.	Penitatas must keep their rooms tidy and clean or else they get a spanking.

4.	Penitatas are allowed sex and lovers, if the two parents groups agree to it.    Di Volontartiatos and Medicos are allowed to see their lovers and have sex with them.

5.	P.P. must log every spanking in the Penitatas Log and they must record the day in the Penitatas Diary and present them to the Board of Corrections every month.

Penitatas Parenting Test

In order to raise Penitatas, you must first get a license and getting one is not as easy as registering at the Courthouse for the Board of Corrections and getting it that same day.  To gain your Penitatas License is a long and difficult take of studying 8 books (How to Discipline your Hard Cycle Criminales, History of Penitatas, Regulation for Being a Penitatas Parent, Levels of Penitatas, F.B.I.P. and You, Proper Disciplinary Tool Care, Holidays of Penitatas, and The Penitatas Tools).  A few weeks after the books are handed out, you have to go to the Courthouse and be escorted to the classroom where the written portion of the test.  In the written portion of the test, you get 4 hours to complete a test of 160 questions taken right from the books.  After the written portion is complete, the Penitatas Parents-to-be begins the demonstration portion of the test, where a group of two people goes around the room to demonstrate the correct procedure on the Penitatas and ultimately ending in the Dragon Test, the hardest part of the test being there’s 7 steps to it.

F.B.I.P.

The F.B.I.P. (Federal Bureau of Investigating Penitatas) is a group of law enforcers that serve and protect Penitatas from dangers.  Marcus Blight I founded the organization in 2015 alongside the punishment itself so to lighten the load of the normal police force, who had their workload overloaded with catching criminals themselves.  In 2016, Marcus Blight I was assassinated by an unknown assailant while in a parade and died after a 5-hour surgery trying to save his life and his son Marcus Blight II taken over the F.B.I.P. the same time Danny Alejandro Porcupine joined the force.  The other main duties of the F.B.I.P. is to discipline Penitatas and the escort criminals to the Rejuvenalization Machine and Penitatas back to the waiting cells, the cells the Penitatas goes with toys, snacks, and soft beds to wait for their parents to pick them up.  Their technology and uniforms is based off the Star Trek Universe, except the uniforms are different colors (Green for Lower Beat, Blue for Medium Beat, Red for Upper Beat, Yellow for Lower Officers, White for Beat Leaders, and the Officers can wear whatever they want.  The Officers Uniform consist of a long white coat, gloves, shoes along with black boots) and an F.B.I.P. Cap (a white baseball cap-like hat with F.B.I.P. on the front of it given to all graduates of the F.B.I.P. Academy).

Rejuvalization Chamber

In 2014, among allegations of necrophilia for her work in resurrecting the dead with robotic organs, Tina Fox thought that prison doesn’t technically teach anything and are overcrowded with the increase in crime.  Therefore, she devised a way of really punishing criminals for their actions in a way that would really make them regret committing a crime and came up with a novel concept, rushing criminals into a chamber that would regress the criminals to children and put them under strict parents who would show then the true meaning of punishment.  On January 1, 2015, she traveled among different villages and talked to the villages on how they used paddles or other implements to punish children and cataloged them into a book for research.  After a few months of traveling on May 15, 2015, she began to construct the machine that would be the cornerstone of the punishment, the Rejuvenalization Chamber.  On September 11, 2015, the machine was finished and the demonstration was done in front of judges, governors, and other high ranking officials on two criminals, Al and Patsy, two criminals that the Shadow Court sealed away along with Asta, a woman who murdered her friend and rival Myst and was reformed, with an outstanding success.  The punishment was quickly put into a bill and signed by President Sarah Catherine on October 20, 2015.  24 hours after the bill passed, one of Tina’s aides, who had a limp from an accident earlier, were trapped in the machine and accidentally turned into a kid, but Tina couldn’t do anything in time and saw it had its purposes for the medical world when the aide wasn’t limping after the transformation.

The World of Angels: CeLESTIA

Celestia is a world of angels, goodness, and home of Flonne.  The anchor of Celestia and Lemmington.

The World of Technology: Planet Technia

Tina’s homeland, it’s a planet that is more technologically advanced than any planet in the universe and is a common ally in wars as the rely on Technia’s tech to aid them.  Anthropomorphic animals mostly populate it.

 Government and geography

Technia is a planet 10 times bigger than Earth and has eight moons.  Technia is equal land and water.  A majority of Technia’s land areas is cities and factories with suburbs a close second.  Even though Technia is mostly urban, they have extended protection to some fields, forest, and other areas so that they don’t become like Planet Rubenia, the closest planet to Technia that was destroyed by overindustrialization.  The government of Technia is different from Earth and it’s combined form, being it’s in a constant war between them vying for power, basically one species bumping another one off through force.  The current government is taken over by foxes as they still hold power on the planet.  Technia holds females as the living embodiment of Techniopila and makes up a majority of the upper class groups.

Lowies and Techies

When Saurina, the original name of the planet, was first inhabited, there was only the Lowies, technologically challenged people who enjoyed the simple life without technology, but eventually a few Lowies got tired of the low-tech ways and started developing technology.  After a few months, the group of technological Lowies was dubbed Techies, was allies with the Lowies, and never expanded into their territories.  The Techies helped the Lowies with their problems, the Lowies supplied the Techies with food, and this went on for 100 years, until Salamand, a nearby war planet, talked them into rebelling against their Techie brothers.  Salamand wanted to weaken the planet so they could attack and after 6 years of conflict known as “The Technia War”, the Lowies were exiled to Daharia, one of Technia Moons, but then the Techies surrendered to Salamand after a few days of combat, forcing them into the empire.  Technia, as it wasthe changed name of the planet after the Lowies were exiled, then secretly formed an army against Salamand and defeated Salamand in the 24-hour war, named for the amount of time it taken to defeat Salamand, and won their independence and Salamand as their own.

Religion and Rituals

Technia has four deities that reflects upon different technology all headed by a main goddesss.  Plasmus, the god of Plasma Weaponry is said to have visited the ruler of Techies before “The Technia War” and gave the Technians lightsabers and blasters to help them defeat the Lowies.  Gramma, the goddess of robotics was said to have the power to repair any broken robot no matter how damaged they are and introduced them to the world to Randalf the Clanger.  Autoimo, the god of transportation that was said to model the vehicles after the carriage he drove around in and introduced it to the people.  Electronica, the goddess of Miscellaneous Tech and Technioplia’s right hand goddess.  All the gods and goddesses are rules over by Technioplia, the goddess of all technology and the mostly worshipped deity of them all.  When a child is born, they are taken to the Temple of Technioplia in the Capital of Technopolis to be blessed by the goddess herself.  When they turn six, the kids go back to Technioplia’s Temple to partake in the Ritual of Childhood, where they ascend from an infant to a kid and are given clearance to go to school.  Then female turn 13 and graduated from school, they make another appearance in the Temple to take the Trails of the Goddess, where they must offer themselves to Technioplia and become adults and finally be accepted into society.

Rules

Technia has rules like other areas.  First, since women are more praised than the men, lesbian relationships are allowed and even suggested at the Technioplia Festival, a festival celebrating the time in “The Technia War” that is goddess erected a barrier and protect the Techies against an onslaught in the Battle of Yules.  Technia has banned slaves of all kinds no matter what age they are and even frowns more upon female slaves where the owners are executed without trail because they are basically enslaving the goddess herself.  Males are low, but not technically slaves, but construct technology and cities.  Penitatas, which were around long before Tina made the punishment on Earth, are the lowest of low in society and often given even harsher punishment than Tina made usually causing death in most cases, but they Board of Correction will often be more like other places to foreign Penitatas, like those of Earth.  As mentioned in Geography, it is also illegal to destroy a tree on protected land is also punishment by becoming a Penitatas, which replaced the prison system on Technia.
