Ritual

A ritual is a solemn ceremony that exists within a power exchange dynamic consisting of a series of actions performed (usually by the s-type) according to a prescribed order set by the d-type. Unlike a protocol, a ritual has a specific physical action associated with it as well as a triggering mechanism, where as a protocol can simply be a directive to govern behavior.

Types of Rituals

Rituals can cover any topic the D-type so desires, however typical rituals might involve things such as:

Greetings
Opening Doors
Drink Service
A Mantra
Collaring or Leashing

and anything else of importance to a particular D-type.
