Ortosk Style

Ortosk Style is the name given to the gwobix (silk) blouses and jaxib (polyester) trousers worn by Marixi when they are off-duty and or out of uniform. Jaxol Fiber (cotton) training wear and Gwoxol (lycra) one-piece body and undersuits are also considered OS due to their exclusive use by Marixi.

Marixi were the last subjects to wear clothing. Life on the surface and sequestration from the other castes afforded them the freedom to live naked until the Zaxiri joined them during their exile. Zaxiri presence on the surface sparked a noted evolution in Marixi socialization, heavily influencing the transformation of their civilian attire into a form resembling bluzerie wear.

Wobix (OS blouses) stretch tight over the waist, biceps, and across the chest. Unbonded Marixi will wear them unbuttoned to their midriff to show off the single line of uzx between their suzsch. Elder or bonded Marixi tend to wear wobix without buttons but with a decorative middle seam to define the hidden uzx beneath. Wobix come with wide lapels due to World Oceans requiring that service pins be worn in plain sight when among the citizenry. Sold in a wide array of bold colors and prints, wobix blouses feature intricate designs on shiny or shimmering fabric so those wearing them stand out in the citbluz.

Ortosk Style trousers, called jaxis, fit tight in the upper thighs and girsuzsch. Below the knees, they flare to accommodate the dome boot, a lighter and less bulky version of the active service boot required by World Oceans. Jaxis are made of stretchy jaxib to allow for freedom of movement (dancing is common in the citbluz) and are lined with an absorbent jaxol fiber in the crotch to accommodate the Marixi habit of forgoing undersuits when off duty. Like the universal pants worn by other castes, jaxis contain a pull-open fastener in the crotch to expose the gurxul when needed.

Ortosk Active is clothing made for physical exercise. Orta assigns three sets of standard OAs: three jaxol pants, three gwoxol swim onesies, and three sleeveless jaxol shirts for weight training. All OAs are uniform, as individuality is discouraged in World Oceans.

Marixi athletes employed outside Orta wear fashionable activewear known as Citizenry-Active. CITAs share the base design of the OA but are tailored for a particular sport and colored to represent the city sponsoring the athlete.

Tailored for a Marix physique, the top portion of the two-piece undersuit is a gwoxol square-cut tank with built-in support for their unique suzsch. Compression bottoms cover the girsuzsch but also flatten and keep dry a marix’s slightly protruding rydok. Undersuit bottoms come in varying lengths, ranging from the upper thigh to the mid-thigh and the knees.
