All the names and symbols you will use must be related to your ancestry. Use family names and symbols that have a special meaning to you.
First, choose a base and a name for your family number system. Then you will need spoken names and symbols for your numbers, and rules to create them.
Give a list of numbers and symbols (at least four-times the base you will use) in your new system. For example: If you choose base 6, then you must list at least 4x6 (24) numbers with their spoken names and symbols.
Create a family history of your number system, including a description of the culture that produced it and the reason why the base was chosen. (300-word minimum.)
Base restrictions: Your system can't be base 2 (binary), 10 (decimal), 20 (vigesimal), or 60 (sexagesimal).
