The Manaverse

So, basically, to start... we have our list of 'worlds' that are to be considered part of the Manaverse, our collective project on the lore of our communal worlds that function in similar ways. They are all governed (to my knowledge) by some degree of Mana Theory (detailed by Shadow below), and are also subject to the basic laws of the Manaverse (yet to be formalized).

• Armonia
• Causica
• Celaflora
• Crysia
• Daeridune
• Euthora
• Ferona
• Greniou
• Mantua
• Phantasia
• Rokans
• Syelsumoia
• Yulatra

Rokans

So the basic idea is the my main's ancestry (at least, on his father's side) traces back to the planet Rokans, a planet where ongoing conflict progressively has gotten worse. Much of it revolves around the conflict of two beings created during said conflict: Elevix Magnus and Infinic Juptois.

(Will add more once I've gotten thing somewhat organized. Just wanting to get this started. Though for the time being, feel free to ask any questions.)

Problematic Area: Elevix Magnus

Might as well just throw this in here because by all means, this is my major problem. This one problem applies to both Rokans in general and CoU (well, at least when it gets to a certain point)

So.... As mentioned before, the achlymperists Elevix Magnus and Infinic Juptois were created to aid one of the factions in the war on Rokans by helping restore their territory, get them out of the war, and fend off any other attacks from the other three warring factions. While they manage to accomplish this, even they get into their own quarrels: first over how they should accomplish their tasks, and later over Juptois trying to take over the faction they were trying to help. (Among other things, but those are the two important ones.)

Which leads to the main problem: Juptois incipacitates Magnus. Now, Juptois eventually does take over said faction, and then later the entire supercontinent of Nenhygas. He keeps control of much of Rokans for several years before the gods eventually decided to call for an Edge Reaper to seal him. Magnus, however, ends up taking refugee within the body of a man who is later known as Lord X-X-M-X-X-i-X-c-X-r-X-X-o-X-X (10-X Micro). Though at this point, because of Juptois, he's effectively left at 10/11 of his original strength, while the last of it was absorbed into Juptois. Eventually, 9/10 (or 9/11? idk, math) of that was given to his son while he kept the last of it to himself for defense. Unfortunately, he ends up being killed by Juptois, who then adds said power onto what he had already stolen from Magnus. And this continues on until Lord X-Me-X-Ga-X and Lord X-Giga-X, where both are still alive and Juptois has been sealed (unbeknownst to them).

However, the problem lies within my inability to figure out exactly how to make this work. Like it isn't an urgent problem in terms of CoU, since it'll be a while before TRWA (which I'm thinking of renaming G2 Arc: Fight for Magnus) will actually start. But it's still a major problem for my An Things, so the sooner I can get this worked out, the better.

Mana Theory

I am going to copy/paste the entries I made some time ago regarding Mana Theory, mainly because of its sheer importance to the Manaverse as a whole. Note that this is written in a Phantasian perspective, but is nonetheless completely accurate. And yes, these are part of my seekrut "official" documents.

> Mana Cycle: All Mana in the known universe is absolutely and unconditionally subject to a transdimensional phenomenon known as the Mana Cycle.

>> Ley Energy: Mana itself does not cease to exist when consumed or depleted through any means, but it instead becomes a practically nonexistent, undetectable residuum Mana Theory has officially distinguished as Ley. Ley, most likely by intelligent design, is exempt from laws of time and space, attracted into flowing streams that form complex networks known as Ley Lines. Nothing, even in principle, is capable of interacting with Ley.

>> Cyclical Process: Since Ley Lines are not affected by most prominent concepts of the universe, they are capable of crossing worlds, dimensions and planes until they reach a certain point (theorized to be an isolated reality) where Ley begins to condense into material form. This creates an exotic element known as Manacium, composed entirely of solid Mana in a non-crystalline form, a state that is impossible to replicate without reality restructuring as a medium. These localized Manacium instances will eventually decay into energetic Mana and flow back into the universe to complete the Mana Cycle.

Edge Reapers and Kaichrona

Okay so there's been some talk in the IRC about how Kaichrona is slightly redundant with the Edge Reapers. This mostly came as me actually not realizing what the Edge Reapers actually, you know, DID. So I figured that I should make some changes and such. What I was thinking was that, because the Kaichronans are a civilization whose technology advanced to the point that they exited their own, and even all timelines, that their primary goal is merely to observe. And because of this, smaller scale irregularities are investigated and taken out. Basically, they'd be the private investigators to the Edge Reaper police force, for an analogy. --N̛̘͚̱̪͎̖a̢͖̳t͏͔̬͖̘̻e͏̺̟̲̱̜̜̘ ̼̫̱̫͉̹̩(͏T̷̙͉̼h̠e͍͘ ͚̜̪͔͓͚̻͜K͇̣a͉̞̣k̬͍̝̱̯̻͠ṵ̶z̻͔á͖̝̯̫̭ṭ͕̟͔̰͕ͅo̞̖͙͍̗͜)̸̫̼̹͖͕ (talk) 19:51, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Shitty explanation because fuck you.

Soul Harvesters are the most numerous out of The Edge hierarchy, but are normally unable to directly interact with any world. Their primary role is the creation, or "harvesting" of new souls, and also the guidance of spirits in the Spirit World. Other than that, they just watch over whatever assigned world/dimension they have.

Edge Reapers are the ones who actually work on maintaining reality, usually by assigned missions or orders. They can be summoned by deities or other beings of importance if an event of sorts would require it (like how Areonie did exactly that to seal up both Deskarta and Malkarrys), but they can also act independently.

Void Legionnaires are at near the top of the pyramid; they are VERY rarely seen or required, but their immense power and reality-altering potential make it so they are easily capable of decommissioning deities if needed. While they normally issue orders to Edge Reapers, they also receive them from a being called Order, who is essentially the closest thing there is to Hollow's proxy in the Manaverse (since Hollow himself is /NEVER/ known to interact with any universe).
