In this world, there exists a spiritual realm called the Beyond that can only be accessed by a select group of individuals called Beyonder's. Beyonder's have the ability to enter the Beyond and absorb the souls of spirits to gain strength and abilities in both the physical and spiritual world.
Hierarchy of Spirits:
In the realm of the Beyond, there exist various types of spirits, each with its own unique abilities and strengths.
1. Micro Spirits: The tiniest and weakest among the spirits, Micro Spirits grant little power to Beyonders. However, their influence can still enhance certain specific aspects, such as a Beyonder's communication with insects or the ability to create small, precise traps.
2. Minor Spirits: These spirits are weak but offer enough power to grant basic abilities to Beyonders. Examples include enhanced senses, a slight boost to physical attributes, or the capability to lay traps.
3. Pico Spirits: A step up from Micro Spirits, Pico Spirits provide more focused enhancements. Beyonders might gain the ability to sense minute changes in air pressure or read the emotional state of those near them.
4. Nano Spirits: More powerful than Micro Spirits, Nano Spirits allow Beyonders to inherit techniques from their host spirit. This could include mastery over an ancient art form or the ability to control minor elements.
5. Medium Spirits: With greater potency than Minor Spirits, Medium Spirits offer more advanced abilities. Beyonders can expect stronger senses, faster healing, gaining possession of powerful weapons, or access to a spirit's unique abilities.
6. Pixel Spirits: A rung above Nano Spirits, Pixel Spirits afford Beyonders the power of elemental affinity and control. They can also provide the ability to manipulate dreams or summon temporary allies.
7. Macro Spirits: More potent than Medium Spirits, Macro Spirits enable Beyonders to tap into cosmic forces, such as astral projection or the ability to control terrestrial forces. One of strongest spirits to use in the beyond.
8. Major Spirits: Significantly more powerful than Medium Spirits, Major Spirits grant Beyonders immense abilities. They can control elements, acquire innate healing properties, or develop heightened senses.
Absorption of Spirits:
When a Beyonder absorbs a spirit's soul, it affects their soul and can change it, making them more in tune with the Beyond. When a Beyonder reaches a certain threshold of absorbed spirit souls, their soul undergoes a transformation, making them more powerful and in tune with the Beyond.
Spirit Contracts:
Beyonder's can enter contracts with spirits in the Beyond to gain supernatural abilities depending on the spirit they contract with. These abilities can include things like elemental manipulation, healing, or teleportation.
Power Levels:
1. **Grade 0 Beyonder:** Known as the Novice, they have yet to fully uncover their Beyonder potential. Although they do not yet have the skills to access the Beyond, their latent abilities can sometimes manifest in extraordinary ways. They rely heavily on external knowledge and training.
2. **Grade 1 Beyonder:** The Initiate, they have developed the capacity to enter and exit the Beyond, and have begun to interact with a minor spirits. They can perform simple tasks such as using spirits for bursts of strength.
3. **Grade 1.5 Beyonder:** The Apprentice, they have gained more control over their powers, contracting with weak or single minor spirits. They can now perform moderate elemental manipulation and heal minor injuries, as well as teleport over short distances.
4. **Grade 2 Beyonder:** The Journeyman, they have mastered the art of working with multiple minor spirits. Enhanced senses, advanced elemental manipulation, and improved combat skills are their hallmarks.
5. **Grade 2.5 Beyonder:** The Acolyte, they have improved their abilities significantly by contracting with moderate-strength minor spirits. They can manipulate elements with greater precision, heal moderate injuries, and teleport further distances.
6. **Grade 3 Beyonder:** The Expert, they have the power to contract with major spirits. Elemental control, advanced healing, and heightened senses characterize their abilities.
7. **Grade 3.5 Beyonder:** The Master, they have refined their abilities by combining multiple major spirits. They exhibit superior control over elements, can heal severe injuries, and can perceive events and beings beyond normal human comprehension.
8. **Grade 4 Beyonder:** The Grandmaster, they have forged alliances with apex spirits. They wield total command over all elements, can teleport great distances, and have the power to reshape the spirit realms.
9. **Grade 4.5 Beyonder:** The Archmage, they have achieved an even higher level by controlling multiple apex spirits. Their elemental control transcends boundaries, enabling them to create new forms of energy or forces beyond
Society of Beyonder's:
The Society of Beyonders is a complex web that entwines various factions, noble families, and organizations that govern the realm of the Beyond. At the helm of this society, five distinguished royal families hold predominant influence due to their long-standing legacy and unmatched power. These families are:
House Draconus: Known for their mastery over fire and dragon-like spirit allies, the Draconuses are feared and revered for their raw, untamed strength. They are proud, unforgiving, and fiercely independent, valuing courage and loyalty above all else.
House Aquilus: The Aquiluses specialize in wind and avian spirits. They are swift, agile, and highly organized. Their matriarchal society prides itself on discipline, honor, and strategic thinking. They are considered masters of espionage and intelligence gathering.
House Terra: The Terra family derives power from the earth and its denizens. They are grounded, stubborn, and tenacious. Ruling from fortified strongholds, they are experts in fortification and defense. Their bonds with the natural world give them unmatched survival skills.
House Lunaris: Hailing from a lineage of lunar mystics, the Lunaris family governs over water-based spirits. They are secretive, enigmatic, and intuitive. Their abilities extend to the manipulation of emotions, making them skilled diplomats and negotiators.
House Celestia: The Celestia family commands celestial and astral bodies, granting them unparalleled insight into the cosmos. They are aloof, enlightened, and cerebral. Their grasp of astronomy and astrology allows them to predict future events and manipulate destinies.
These royal families, while maintaining cordial relations in public, often engage in clandestine battles for supremacy, using spies, assassins, and political maneuvering to undermine each other.
The rest of the 20 royal families and numerous organizations vie for influence and recognition, carefully navigating the intricate dance of politics and power.
Training in Beyonder arts is typically passed down within these families, though select individuals from outside these lines may be welcomed into their ranks
