Rabsan men often try to do service in Amber whne they are in their 40s out of vanity, hoping to be effected by the [[Aging in Amber]] effect.  Women generally embrace the change in hair color.
===Rabsan Life Cycle===
The Rabsan are a two part species.  They have a '''physical''' side and a '''Wathan''' side.

Physically a Rabsan lives approximately 60 years. They are robust until 55 years or so with some living well over 100 years.  

The Rabsan have what they call a '''''Wathan''''', essentially a soul or a mental matrix, that translates from a dying Rabdsan to a newborn Rabsan. While not every Rabsan has a transition experience they are common. A person remembering in time much of his previous life though rarely retaining national loyalties. A newborn with a transitioned wathan will start to remember previous lives as they reach adulthood. They have what they call a "Separation" to distinguish previous life to current life.  {One might say, "I was Pale White skinned with gray hair before my last Separation"}

Transitioning of a Wathan is a complicated and personal matter.  Approximately 20% of Rabsens each generation are Young Born, meaning they will not discover a Transitioned Wathan as they grow up however all Young Born transition after death.  Suicides are not rare among Young Borns and occure in their 30s after it is clear they are not going to generate separated memories. . 

It is not uncommon for them to make contact with previous friends, family, and associates though there is no legal rights of inheritance and much of their laws surround the issue of previous life debts, obligations and loyalties, stating that the physical death severs all obligations unless the individual takes them on personally. The Sepperation cleanly severs obligations

It is rare, but not unheard of, for a person with a transitioned wathan to have mixed loyalties if born in new nationalities but the great majority of them embrace the "Separation" and take the loyalties of their new birth realm.
