Chaos Eye
A Chaos Eye is a magical, anatomical structures that grants one that bears it, known as a Chaos Eye Bearer, additional abilities. Since they were first brought into existence when the gods of Rokans created the Warriors of the Eye, they have become an inheritance among the Chaos Eye Bearers. There are six different types of Chaos Eye:
- The Ensnaring Eye, belonging to Rolarik and his descendants.
- The Attentive Eye, belonging to Jesgary and her descendants.
- The Manic Eye, belonging to Klaunewar and his descendants.
- The Honest Eye, belonging to Valazam and his descendants.
- The Deceiving Eye, belonging to Geldance and her descendants.
- The Reflecting Eye, belonging to Kilcarth and his descendants.
Appearance
The Chaos Eye, despite being called such, is actually comprised of two parts. One part is a thick, crystalline structure that covers the bearer's entire arm. This structure actually grows out of their arm once they reach a certain age. It is extremely durable, mainly to protect the arm it covers. In the cases of the Ensnaring, Attentive, Manic, Honest, and Deceiving Eyes, this structure is semi-transparent, allowing one to be able to somewhat see the arm hidden underneath. Its color varies depending on the Chaos Eye itself:
- The structure of the Ensnaring Eye is dark green in color.
- The structure of the Attentive Eye is aqua in color.
- The structure of the Manic Eye is orange in color.
- The structure of the Honest Eye is gold in color.
- The structure of the Deceiving Eye is black in color.
The Reflecting Eye, however, has a completely transparent structure.
The second part is the eye itself, which is embedded within the structure on the back of the bearer's hand. In the cases of the Ensnaring, Attentive, Manic, and Honest Eyes, the color of the eye usually contrasts the color of the crystalline structure. The Deceiving Eye has an eye of a completely random color. The Honest Eye has an eye of light gray in color, although sometimes it can be completely white, making it blend into the sclera.
Function
The primary function of a bearer's Chaos Eye is to grant the bearer certain abilities, which vary depending on which one they have.
- The Ensnaring Eye grants the bearer the ability to create tendril-like objects. They may also manipulate such objects so long as they have been created through this ability.
- The Attentive Eye enhances the bearer's sense of hearing. It also grants them sonoimpery should they not already have it, or gives their sonoimpery a significant boost if they do have it.
- The Manic Eye is considered the most destructive out of the six Chaos Eyes, as it allows the bearer to generate explosions through varying methods.
- The Honest Eye allows the bearer to see through the target's deceptions. As such, this usually allows the bearer to see through illusions, and makes it easier to tell if a person is lying.
- The Deceiving Eye acts upon strengthening the bearer's ability to create illusions through messing with the target's senses. As such, this usually grants the bearer abilities such as synesthimpery or dolimpery.
- The Reflecting Eye allows the bearer to "read" the soul of their target(s). Through this, the bearer is then able to copy and temporarily gain access to the magical abilities of the target(s). The duration of this varies depending on the abilities gained from this and the number of targets it is used against, and almost never extends over half an hour. And after this duration ends, the eye goes inactive for a duration of time dependent on the same factors.
All types of Chaos Eyes also attempt to prevent the bearer from becoming blind.
History
Warriors of the Eye
In response to the incident of the Zodiac Lord on Ocera, the Rokain Gods created the first generation of Chaos Eye Bearers, the Warriors of the Eye, to act as guardians of the sister planet in an attempt to prevent such an incident from occurring again. Each god created one each of the six Chaos Eye Bearers, and thus created each of the Chaos Eyes. Sokohga created Rolarik, the bearer of the Ensnaring Eye; Volks created Claunewar, the bearer of the Manic Eye; Lacia created Jesgary, the bearer of the Attentive Eye; Claiter created Valazam, the bearer of the Honest Eye; Trajodeas created Geldance, the bearer of the Deceiving Eye; and Solas created Kilcarth, the bearer of the Reflecting Eye. Soon after their creation, the Warriors of the Eye retreated to Ocera through the Oceran Gateways where they then began their mission as guardians of the planet, each choosing a single continent to patrol. For several decades, they relied on both their own elemental abilities and the abilities bestowed upon them by their Chaos Eyes to protect the Ocerans from many incidents on the planet, facing many powerful opponents in the process. However, they would soon find themselves facing a pernicious foe that even they wouldn't be able to stop...
Trivia
- Despite being exclusive to Chaos Eye Bearers, it's possible for an individual of any species to bear a Chaos Eye. However, this requires at least one of their parents to be a Chaos Eye Bearer.
