Aelyonix

Organized Lore

Okay I'm gonna try to be a bit more organized about this, but a BUNCH OF SHIT IN THIS BOOK IS OUTDATED AS FUCK SO I NEED TO ADD THIS ASAP

Introduction

Aelyonixes are based off of Phoenixes, but with more elements. In this universe they changed the name of their species as they didn't want their species to be named by humans. There are 8 different elements an aelyonix can have, but an aelyonix can only have up to two elements, though there are some exceptions

Bird, Phoenix, and Chicken are considered slurs (however "Bird" and "Phoenix" depends on context)

Most originally liked or somewhat liked humans, and would help them occasionally but Humans started seeing many things as unworthy of living, or unholy.

Humans started committing genocide, all in the name of their religion. At first this wasn't a problem for Aelyonixes

Though, some Humans were just afraid of these creatures, that being their reason why they joined this "holy war". Others wanted to find out how to steal the powers each creature had.

These creatures included fairies, dragons, unicorns and others like that.

Eventually humans figured out how to steal the elemental powers Aelyonixes have, this was when it became a problem. Aelyonixes started permanently dying left and right, this no longer was just a nuisance to them, this was a threat. Hundreds of Aelyonixes began permanently dying.

Elements

There are 9 elements in total so far. However more may be added in the future. Don't count on it though.

Water

Air

Earth

Fire

Nature (Earth/Water mutation)

Septic (Nature Mutation)

Plasma (Fire/Air mutation)

Ice (Water mutation)

Balance (Light and Dark)

Balance's are not hybrids. There is no singular light or singular dark other than the Origins. These Aelyonixes are a bit special, they are not considered hybrids nor pureblood due to the fact you cannot have one without the other

On a separate note, Aelyonixes lay eggs.

Shapeshifting, Royal Guards, and Portals

Common Aelyonixes can shapeshift into one other animal. This is something they can choose at any time in their young life, but becomes permanent at age 20.

Aelyonixes who wish to become guards of royalty will be granted the power to create portals and shapeshift into a humanoid form, a humanoid form will allow them to do their job much easier, and they recognize this even though they very much dislike humans. Royal Guard's can only create a portal 6 times in one day before problems arise in and on their body.

Aelyonixes born from royal blood will have these abilities at birth, and can create a portal about 10 times in one day before they begin to have problems.

Queen Esther is the only Aelyonix that has the power to grant others creation of portals, and can take this power back as well. No Aelyonix can teleport except through certain special classified powers. Though, Plasma Aelyonix's can give the illusion of teleportation using lightning, electricity or anything with electricity.

The Birth of Khronos and Esther

It is unknown how, why, or when Esther gained consciousness, but when she did she found herself in an endless void filled with nothing. The only thing she saw was herself, a cloud of stars and planets. Upon moving, those stars and planets stayed where they were and gradually she painted the void with galaxies. Later she began creating life on these planets and took a liking to a number of them, eventually choosing one to mold her form and creating a new species using that form as inspiration.

It is unknown how, why, or when Khronos gained consciousness, but when he did the first thing he saw was everything anytime, everywhere all at once. This overwhelmed him and sent him into a downward spiral of madness, creating the Rings of Time. After eons he slowly learned to cope with this madness by finding different forms to possess to suppress the neverending pour of information. A rare and impossible mutation of an existing creature became his favorite host and he permanently possessed it.

The "Holy Wars"

Humans felt Aelyonixes were unholy as stated before, but not only did they kill Aelyonixes but they killed other mythical creatures as well. During this they learned Aelyonixes could resurrect from their ashes, so they began taking the ashes, mixing them and sealing them all away, eventually they learned how to steal an Aelyonixes soul and many would turn to that. Both methods made them unable to resurrect and eventually truly die, though it is possible some survived from the ash mix and came out as amalgamations.

Soon certain Aelyonixes nearly became extinct. This finally prompted Khronos to ask Esther to find multiple suitable planets for each and every creature in danger of the Humans. It took Esther several months to find and create portals to these planets. However she used the first day to create one temporary planet for every creature to stay on in order to give her a bit more time to find other planets. This planet was named Xrynl.

Once most of each creature got on the planet, Esther and Khronos joined them.

However, some creatures didn't make it and had to be left behind.

These creatures were killed.

Nature Aelyonixes and Septic Aelyonixes did not exist during the war.

Souls

Souls are the culmination of ones very being. Pulling out a soul would allow one to see the memories of the being that has that soul. This also allows someone to shatter that soul, effectively instantly killing the being that has that soul permanently, regardless of how long they live or how many resurrections they have.

The soul, without a body, also provides one to absorb it, and gain something relating to that soul

One could also touch someone's soul, though this is seen as very intimate as it pleasures the being that has that soul

In order to absorb an Aelyonixes' soul, Humans had to find a way to unlock the power of their own souls, reveal the soul of an Aelyonix just before they died, and proceed to absorb the Aelyonixes' soul. This made it so they couldn't revive themselves. This also allowed Humans to be able to wield the Aelyonixes element. (Idea branched from Avatar The Last Airbender) for example, say H1 took the soul of A1, a Water Aelyonix. H1 would then be able to bend water to his will, and do all sorts of tricks with the element. However, upon trying to absorb the soul of a Balance aelyonix, they will become possessed by either pure light or pure dark and will mindlessly wander and attack anything on sight. They will eventually die from either starvation or by a Balance killing them.

If a human attempted to absorb more than one soul, it would in fact work, however they wouldn't gain any new powers from the soul. Souls that are absorbed by a human (or anyone else for that matter) attach to the human's soul, but do not go in their soul allowing for the souls to transfer to the human's children.
