| NAN | (⟶) The ability to manipulate/balance yu, or modification ability; (ex. modifiers: +, -, /, *) |
| YU | (O)Fundemental unit of energy/matter/storage which nan is able to manipulate. (ex. variable like X or Y.) Can be understood as a container of modifications made by nan. (can be thought of also as alchemical Mercury, when balanced perfectly between dai and fai.) |
| DAI | (+) Body, physicality, manipulated by nan; category of yu. (Masculine, alchemical salt) {Be-it-the-cause} |
| FAI | (-) Essence, subjective, spirit, takes more nan(ability) to affect; category of yu. (Feminine, alchemical sulfur) [Spirits = Fai-Sil] {Why?} |

0-Si (sigh) 1-Ao (ow) 2-Di (dai) 3-Ci (chai) 4-Fe (fai) 5-Ki (chi) |
Word beginnings for numbers, base 6 system. To make
strings of numbers, word is appended before the other number; for
example, 255 hours is Di-Feo-Fenmor. 35 days is Cia-Feomi. However, when speaking dates, it is flipped the other way- Day 14 is pronounced Fi-Aomi, or (2-1). Day 41, then, is Ao-fimi (1-2). Additionally, si, when adding more 0s after it, proceeds with 'zo'. 100 = Ali-Sizo, 1000= Ali-Sizozo. |

-mo(second) -mor(hour) -mi(day) -mir(month) -tovi(year) |
Word endings for ‘Time’, add ‘-a’ when describing in a sentence (ex 200 years= tova Dia-Sizi) |

Word Appendences |
|
| ti | Me, you, him, her, them (universal pronoun) |
| Tov- | BIG! |
| -era/-enta | Word ending for ‘world’, ‘enta’ meaning ‘small-world’. A world contains many beings. |
| -ia/-vi/-i/-sil/-de | Word endings for ‘place’ or 'being'. |
Beings and Entites |
|
| Being | Instead of using the word ‘person’ or ‘human’ to refer to any sentient or conscious thing, I like to use this instead because most of the beings on Diambera are not human, and many sentient beings are not human (so it would be offensive). |
| Diae | Goddess of life of Diambera, also maybe the name for an Ult-Cel at the center of universe 196. The sister and/or companion to Jeki, the god of death of Diambera. Obsolete as she does not fit the Fray Theory model of Universe 196. |
| Jeki (yeki) | Thecounterpart, sort of Grim Reaper/Satan figure to Diae. Their face is a skull and they have large bat ears, motifs that signify death and darkness. They wear a black cloak and carry with them a scythe. They are not canon to Diambera at the moment since they do not fit in the Fray Theory model. |
| NOVAs | Neutron Originating Variable Aliens. These beings are small parts split off from the stars and their power levels and abilities are based on what sort of star they came from, but is always above Mortal. |
| NOVNs | Neutron Originating Variable Natives. These beings are artificially and
unethically created by splitting apart the atoms in a being’s
body, and then inserting a CORE at the center of their mass before
their matter drifts off. These beings will be akin to lower-mass
stars in the amount of energy that they have, and sometimes will only be visible at the infrared
or lower. However, they are able to
make their matter travel long distances and see off in places that
most people are unable to get to. Their cores tend to be quite
fragile though, so any major damage means certain death.
Additionally, the process of becoming a NOVN is known to be very
painful, hence the ‘unethical’ part. NOVN abilities/Disabilities:
|
| Shifter | A being that is able to change their form between two or more species. |
| Vampire | 1% of the Immortal population (0.005% of all of the population!) Vampirism is a parasite that infects humanoid hosts and feeds off of their blood. There is a 1% survival rate once bitten, depending on the amount of blood drained and ability to recover. Due to its high fatality, there is a specialized government league of vampire hunters on the Skylands to try to wrangle and hunt down any uncaught vampires. |
Energy Classifications |
|
| Energy classification is a measure of how much a being is able to manipulate the matter around them in
order to defy physics (Nan). Most beings have a slight, innate ability which they can train to expand thier abilities.
These abilities are less likely to work when fully in the line of a grid (Fray Theory) (or like ley lines irl), or when closer to
beings of higher power, but they are stronger when one is further away from an Ult-Cel, making the function of magic quite
subjective to a planet or solar system.
It is also important for what happens to an individual’s body or soul when there is a body death. Addendum: Perhaps here is another way of thinking about it. Energy classification is the ability to manipulate matters, yes, but that matter-maniuplation occurs through integration of systems. A Mortal is only at a lower level than a Half-immortal because it has integrated less of reality into its understanding of itsself. Hence, in the real world, this is the importance of ego-dissolution and other such practices (like in Buddhism). The more you recognize aspects of reality as part of yourself, the more you become them, and thus become one-with. That is what creates power. |
|
| M(Mortal) |
Nan level 0-30, has to reproduce to continue species and dies in the expected timeframe for their species.
Able to perform magic with the help of charms. Is most typical, or default for most beings, but ratios greatly
depend on location. Just your average Joe, really. When they die, there is a body death, but their essence(soul) is
recycled(reincarnated) into the universe until the universe dies or they ascend into a higher classification. |
| HF-IM(Half-Immortal) |
Nan level of 31-100. Tends to live longer than expected for their species, and can still use charms to enhance
their magic. Power obtained through many different methods, as to be detailed at some vague point in the future.
(I’m going to have to write a whole book, aren’t I). Probably, like, old wizards, or real life saints, buddhas, christ figures,
pharohs, etc. When they die, there is a body death,
but their essence(soul) is recycled(reincarnated) into the universe until the universe dies or they ascend into a
higher classification. |
| IM(Immortal) |
Nan level of 101-250. These beings tend to be of the undead or demonic/angelic variety (died and revived),
only really able to survive via the use of magic. Since most, if not all of their energy goes to keeping them
alive (they have more Nan than average but are constantly leaking it), they tend to register as higher levels than they
actually are able to functionally use. When they die, their body and essence(soul) are permanently dead- their essence is
remade in a further universe. |
| (ULT-IM)Ultra-Immortal |
Nan level of 251-500. Immensely powerful, often the most powerful individuals seen on any sort of... not even
planet, but solar system. Can only be killed by being stripped of power by interaction with an Ult-Cel.
These tend to be ‘angels’ or ageless, timeless beings. Or NOVAs. They are created when an IM’s
essence(soul), nearly destroyed, is able to absorb the power of an ULT-CEL and ascend the power level they are at. When their
ULT-IM body dies, their body is dead and so is their essence; their essence is remade in a different universe. Kinda hope it’d be
hard to die in this universe if you already died twice. |
| CEL(Celestial) |
Nan level of 501-1000. Beyond ‘immortality’, these beings are few and far between.
Tend to be forgotten about between Ult-ims and Ult-Cels, but they’re like mini-gods,
able to exert might over whole galaxies or even galaxy clusters. True powerhouses.
However, this is also a classification to describe the combined might of several different lower classes, so a
magic empire (which works in complete harmony, key word) could be considered a celestial.
Their bodies and souls are unable to be destroyed, and so they will be around until the end of a universe.
|
| ULT-CEL(Ultra-Celestial) |
Nan level of 1000-∞ (he’s over 9000!). Only Gods (with a capital G) hold this name- they are perceivable and
theorized to be able to exist. However, are they really gods? (Actually, this may be sort of a mythical title for a hypothetical god and not a
real thing…)
Anyways, Ult-Cels are so immense in power that they are theorized to have caused, and continue aiding in the function of the universe. It is a mystery on if anything this powerful is really able to exist in reality. (In Fray Theory, they do exist at the center of each universe and weave it out). They are unable to die-they exist from the very beginning of a universe until the very end. They be the mosdt ancient of gods, the deepest of subroutines. |
