Even when a family has enough genetic diversity to repopulate the world and the gross family product to buy most of it… or perhaps especially so… consanguinity is of paramount concern.
.
The original names of the family has been lost to the mists of time, but this does not concern them much, they are known as Diamond, for what they have given the world.
As valuable in today’s economy as the little inert trinkets that used to signify eternal commitment used to be, these Polycarbonate Circuitry (polycirc) gems sample the wearer’s mood, health, and genetics.  This last is of critical importance.
.
Being that the family is quite large, and consists of a vast and changing number of dyads, tryads, quads, and trysts, knowing the degree of consanguinity in the heat of the moment is critical to the health of the family.  When one joins the family, or is born into it, the Diamond is implanted near the inside of the wrist.  Pink, Red, Grey, practically any color means that the fun can commence with commencing. 
.
The Sole exception is Black. 
.
When this crops up, you are closing in on someone that is prohibited by family rules stronger than the Danelaw of the government around it (probably because the Family is a significant part of the manpower that runs it).  The Black Diamond signifies Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Daughter, Son, Aunt, Uncle, Grand Parent, First Cousin, or cousins child.  For most, encountering a new Black diamond is worth little more than a last chaste kiss, and moving on to someone else.
It is not so easy for children of the … popular.
.
When your diamond is black for practically everyone around you, there comes a point that you simply need to cash out your shares, and make your way into the world.
.
Since time immemorial, these have become Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Teachers, Policemen, Firemen, Mailmen, Lawyers, and Politicians.  As they are strongly service oriented, and put the needs of what ever community that they find ahead of their own, they have long since been known as “Knights of the Black Diamond”
