Default Base Scion and Dennis

Name: Scion AKA Jake West
Age:?
Gender: Male
Race: Human/otherworldly

Base abilities: Ageless and revives in Void upon death

Appearance:


Personality: Scion is a one of a kind genius and simultaneous dumbass with an extremely bad habit of either over-thinking or under-thinking just about everything. His in ability to draw inaccurate conclusions has landed him in hot water countless times. He is also under some kind of self delusion that he is the hero of his own epic story and has taken actions and made leaps of logic based on the idea of story tropes. The delusion is surprisingly not from a lack of sanity, but do to a disconnect from reality Scion suffered in his past. He lives with a slight degree of uncertainty about whether anything around his is actually real. He mostly chooses to ignore these thoughts, but when stressed out they have surfaced as a means to help justify questionable actions. However, for all his faults Scion is generally a nice guy, if a bit overbearing and annoying at times, and wants to help others in need. He is after all a "hero". Scion is very close to Dennis and becomes very distressed when separated from him.

Dennis

Age:?
Gender: Refers to self as male.
Race: AI/Otherworldly

Base abilities: Capable of analyzing and understanding many things and can pick out fine details in the environment. Real form is in void.

Appearance: A very large black band attached to Scions wrist. It resembles a watch, but it is more akin to a mini supercomputer. Armed with every kind if sensor man as ever created from Celsius to X-ray.

Personality: Dennis is a very aloof individual that only ever really gives input when it's requested of him or to berate Scion. Dennis has downloaded and immense source of knowledge directly to his memory and could be easily one of the most knowledgeable existences alive, except the resource he downloaded was the internet. All of it. So without any real way to sort the crap from fact. Dennis is also easily the most misinformed individual one could ever meet, and with only Scion to help him try to sort him out, lets just say Dennis only seems like the more sane one.

Brief back story for Scion and Dennis'(Extended version being worked on.)

Jake AKA Scion was a rich nerdy and lonely engineer. He wanted nothing more then to be understood. He decided that if people didn't understand him, then he would make a machine that did. So he used his knowledge and resources to create Dennis. A machine built to literally understand everything. Jake thought he could be satisfied with this accomplishment, but even with Dennis at his side he still felt lost in his world, and wanted so badly to live somewhere more interesting then his own. So, with Dennis' help and at the cost of all his wealth. He built a machine, a portal, to a new world. So that he could escape this one. However, the machine was not perfect and instead of opening a portal to another universe. It had torn a hole in his own. A hole that ultimately swallowed everyone and everything into it and banished it to nothingness. It was only through Dennis that Jake survived, for Dennis was the only one capable of understanding the Void that they had been cast into and prevent his and Jake's destruction. Jake had wanted to leave, but not end his world and the guilt of its loss weighed heavily on his soul. He chose at this time to go be a different name. One he thought fitting for his situation, "Scion" means son of, but its only part of the title. He was after all. The Scion of nothing now and would just be known as Scion.

The multiverse portal that Scion had created may have not been perfect, but it was close. Dennis helped Scion reconstructed the portal in Void and through extensive, safety heavy, testing discovered that the reason the portal hadn't worked as intended was because it couldn't connect to a universe if the location of one wasn't specified. So when it had opened a portal to void. It had been quite literally programmed to open a hole to nowhere. They combined the device with Dennis' considerable computation abilities and were able to make it capable of opening a portal to anywhere that Dennis could record the location of. The limitations were that only one portal to another world could be opened at a time or only one could be opened from void into another world. Scion uses the M Device to open gates to new and interesting worlds as well as travel between them to previous worlds. Along with Dennis Scion lives out the life he had intended, but hopes to one day atone for the calamity that he had caused in his home world and prevent others from occurring.

Cold Touch

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Due to an unhealthy obsession with a certain ice fairy, and his inability to be with her, due to freezing to death in her presence. Through his desire to overcome this obstruction and his belief in his own ability to adapt. Scion's body shifted to be one with the cold. This ability causes Scion's body to emit a cold aura around him, that starts to slowly lower the surrounding temperature. Scion also causes things to rapidly freeze upon contact with his skin. Scion's completion becomes noticeably paler when this ability is active. His clothes also begin hardening, and layers of frost start coating his skin.

Perfect Body

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Scion's desire to be in control of his body and perceived good athleticism earned him even greater control of his physical state. This ability allows Scion to manipulate his body to be able push itself far past its normal capabilities. By allowing him to focus on a bodily function and enhance it. He can only enhance something to slightly above peak human or low superhuman, and can only do a few enhancements at a time. Receiving less of an affect if he divides his attention.

Unnatural Form

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Do to a complete disconnect to his former self and a desire to be something else. Scion's form is able to shift into whatever he thinks or feels is right. This allows for an extremely wide range of forms from the monstrous to the adorable to the just strange and uncanny. This form of shifting, however, is unstable and can be inconsistent do to be controlled by thoughts and feelings. It can be easy to lose concentration in stressful situations.

Life's an Explosion!

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Several hours of Michael Bay can grant one a certain appreciation for the art of action and explosions. Due to an obsession Scion has with having a life of action and adventure, and the belief that he is the hero of such a tale. Has granted him an unusual effect on the world around him. Scion will inexplicably cause things to react to him as if he were in a Michael Bay movie and explode. The cause of the explosion seems to be that when touched, by the hand, the molecules of the item touched, and the ones bonded with them, will suddenly sever those bonds and cause the item to ignite with the release of energy. This results in a sudden and usually powerful release of energy. Some bonds are stronger than others, and denser objects with high durability will cause the largest explosions when the bonds are severed. The ratio is seems to be as weak as a M-80 for a square foot of average wood, up to a C4 explosion for a square foot of steel. If an object is made up of parts, then only the part touched will explode.

Sphere of influence

Using the M Device. Dennis can open a portal to the void for thirty seconds every hour. While this portal is open Dennis forces the influence of void into the world and temporarily creates a five foot sphere around the watch in which he can alter the state of the world to be like Void, but without actually being in void. This causes one's thoughts and desires, while in the field, to become reality. This affects all in the field so even others can use this strange effect. However, all effects that occur in the field are undone after leaving the field or when the field is terminated.

Autonomous reaction
In the extremely rare occasions in which Dennis not only involves himself with Scion's affairs, but even aids him in combat. Dennis will connect to Scion's weapons, and use them to fight. Dennis cannot swing a blade or block a blow, but he can pull the real or metaphorical trigger on most any of Scion's weapons. He is able to access the same connection Scion has to the weapons and use it at his discretion. Dennis' high level processing and wide view of the field allows him to make decisions in fractions of a second and reacting in an instant.

If you put your mind to it.

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Starving to death can be a very slow and painful process, and this led to Scion's desire to not starve, and it was this along with thinking of himself as a very adventurous eater that lead to him being able to expand his menu. This ability when active grants Scion the ability to not only clean his plate in record time, but also eat the plate and the utensils that go with it. This ability amplifies Scion's stomach acid to be able to dissolve anything from a ceramic cup to solid steel. Scion's bite strength is not what is amplified to allow him to chew through metal, but it is instead his saliva that coats his teeth has also gained an acid like quality that softens the materials to be easier to chew. Organic materials are broken down near instantly by the stronger stomach acid, but strangely enough are not affected by the amplified saliva, at least any more than they normally would be. Scion believes this effect may exist so that he can still enjoy normal food when eating.

Copy Cat

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Through Scions desire and belief in his ability to adapt to new environments he gained the ability to copy the gifts of others. This duplication, however, is only of the base functions of the power and/or ability he targets. Able to use the gifts, but not gain the experience needed to use them well. In a world of magic he could duplicate mana, but not understand how spell casting works. He could grow claws, but would not immediately know how to fight with them. A funny way to look at it is he always starts as a level 0 with whatever he copies.

Living Zombie

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Scion's doubt of his ability to survive hostile worlds and desire not die. These thoughts caused Scion's Body to alter itself to be more resistant to death. Scion's body operates much like a zombies would, and can take massive amounts of damage, but still keep going, if a bit slower than before. The downside seems to be that just like a zombie. If his brain is destroyed, then it really is all over.

Unbreakable Bones! Well close.

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Due to how excruciatingly painful it is to be crushed and broken. Scion's belief in being a human shield combined with his desire to achieve greater durability. Has led to his body's bones metamorphose into a stronger carbon reinforced compound as well as develop a second skeletal structure surrounding the first one like a protective cage.

The second skeleton is structured as the Eiffel Tower is with several layers of a thin carbon bones arranged to help to support the main bone. This structure greatly increases the amount of force that need to be applied to a bone in order to crush it. This bone structure also helps to disperse force by distributing energy all over the bone and its layers instead of letting it be focused at a single point. If the force applied to a bone was to great to be dispersed and absorbed by whole, then one or more layers of the second skeleton would break to further reduce the damage to the main bone. If layers of the second skeleton are disconnected from the whole, then they immediately began dissolving into the body until they are slowly regrown.

If you can't win. RUN!

In void one's perception of themself and their desires affects them greatly. Scion has faced many unspeakable horrors in his time among the worlds, and his desire to escape these creatures and perceiving himself as a coward for doing so. Scion developed an increased speed when under great pressure. Seeming to function in a similar way to perfect body. Scion's body becomes enhanced, but on a super natural level instead of physical. The enhancement is all encompassing, increasing the speed of running, turning, even perception, and the enhancement is proportional to how stressed Scion is feeling. The more scared, angry, sad, and overall desperate Scion becomes the greater the speed. Stress is a difficult thing to gauge, but the typical stress of combat would only yield double, potentially up to triple if the fight is particularly life threatening. The drawback is that Scion's stress affects his ability to think clearly, and he slowly starts to become more single minded and irrational as he is pushed to the limit. Unless affected by magical fear affects, or if Scion has undergone a particularly stressful day, would speed reach as high as quadruple.

Solar Staff

A five foot long black staff made of a strange light-less metal topped on each end by a white spherical crystal. This staff was forged by Scion and Dennis with their limited knowledge of the Void. At will this staff, when spun, is capable of releasing jets of flame and/or micro explosions from the ends of the staff. The staff is charged when spun and generates one charge per round or one every five seconds of continuous spinning. Takes one charge to release either five seconds of flame, equivalent to a flame thrower, or release a blast of force equivalent to a stun grenade. It takes two charges to release an instant ten foot cone of explosive fire out of one end of the staff.

Force Tonfa

A black tonfa made of a strange light-less metal with a white crystal sphere on the top. This Tonfa, when struck or struck with, will collect kinetic energy, about twenty five percent, and store it within. This stored energy can be released at will be the user and be added or subtracted from other kinetic forces within the user's reach. This function allows it to enhance blows given, or reduce ones taken as long, as it has enough energy stored to do so.

Bass Cannon

Due to an interest in an internet sensation called the base cannon. Dennis took an interest in finding a way to produce such an interesting device. Scion of course gave him his complete support for this project. The result was a one by one meter. hovering. smooth black box with a large bass speaker on the front. This device when activated will extend into a one by three meter rectangle, revealing a high tech sound board on the top with several types of inputs for everything from an mp3 player to a record. The sound board, the speaker and the edges of the box are all then lit up by a multitude of color changing neon lights. The bass cannon as its namesake would imply can charge an internal directional sonic canon, takes two round or ten seconds to charge and fires for 3 seconds, that will blast focused destructive sound waves out of the forward facing speaker in a 10 degree angle spread. At blank range the cannon can rip straight through an armored tank, then gradually loses power, only able to crack concrete at 50 feet, cause hearing damage at 100 feet, and maybe some annoyance at 150 plus. Other than being a little box of destruction. The Bass Cannon can operate as a fully functional DJ table and is loud enough to be heard all across a football stadium.

The Mighty Sandwich Sword!

A legendary sword known as Exmouseibur that was found across the widest ocean, atop the highest mountain, and guarded by the harshest weather. This sword was said to be completely unbreakable and capable of cutting through any magic or material with the greatest of ease. It was wielded by the legendary hero Matamao of the Snake Kingdom. Matamao revered by all for his bravery against innumerable odds and the taming of great serpents. It was just a shame that Matamao was a mouse and that Exmouseibur was only three inches long and a millimeter wide. It even looked an awful lot like the fancy toothpicks people stick through big sandwiches. Scion of course did not let its size dissuade him from doing his best to find a use for it. Utilizing an old switchblade he had pocketed. He managed to replace the blade with Exmouseibur. Scion of course failed to realize that this made the weapon look like a rather pathetic looking pocket knife, and was not often taken seriously when wielding it.

The Pocket Dimension Coat

This amazing yet useless coat is created with it's very own pocket dimension lining the inside of the entire coat and capable of holding anything you can fit through the opening. One would wonder why such a thing could be considered useless? I'm getting to that. For starters though, there is no filter, if you put something in the coat then you better remember exactly where you put it, because you may never see it again. The coat is also more akin to a portal then hammer space and if you push something inside it pushes other things out of the way. You at least have the effect that the coat has all the objects inside gravitate towards the portal. However, and this is where the real useless part comes in. It is already full of stuff. I mean an ungodly amount of stuff from all over the world and with multiple copies, and according to Dennis at least 99% of it is useless junk. You could reach into the coat and find anything from a football to an ice sculpture to a live grenade. Live grenade you ask? Great thing about the coat. It preserves an object's state of existence, until you draw it again, perfectly alright for storing food, but as for charging things. You can't even charge your cell phone, because that would alter its state. This has been the coat of a thousand useless pockets.

Rocket Boots

Easily one of Scion's more interesting attempts at flight. The rocket boots are a self charging set a black boots made of a light-less metal, with white crystal circles on the bottoms of the boots and lining the edges in a scattered pattern. These boots use the force of the user's steps to slowly charge over time. When used the boots will propel the user in their desired direction by activating rockets on the bottoms and sides. The boost function with near perfect precision and have great control despite the lack of side stabilizers. The main problem with the boots, unfortunately, is their inability to hold a proper charge. They charge relatively fast, being full after only fifteen seconds of walking, or only five seconds of sprinting. However, they proved useless for flying with, due to only being able to be activated for three seconds at a time. They are now primarily used to make high jumps or, in some cases, attempt risky kicks.

Hacking Rig

In the rare instances in which Dennis chooses to participate in Scion's adventures. Dennis can be equipped with an adaptable connector to allow him to link himself with other electronic equipment and make an attempt to take it over, assuming that the machine isn't sentient like himself, then this is a fairly simple and even quick task for Dennis to perform.

The Fully Functional Multiverse-Device

The M Device has now gained the ability to open portals from within the same universe Scion occupies and can now portal to anywhere he has recorded or can be perceived by Dennis. The limitations are that only one pair of portals can be opened at a time, and one has to be within five feet or closer to the watch and the portals cannot be opened in anything solid.

Full name: Skallagrim
Title: Cughtagh, the Walker Between Worlds.
Race: Xindhi
Age: Ageless
Home Universe: RolePlay Gateway

Champion of the Dreaming Queen. Like all Xindhi he is a skeletal being with whorls of energy that flow and drift from his eye sockets. The energy associated with Skallagrim is Amethyst.

Physical Description: Skallagrim is tall and skeletal, standing a little over 6 and a half feet tall. His eyes glow with a hideous amethyst light. His face is covered with only his eyes showing. He wears the dusky black leather and mail of the Cughtagh and Aeryn, the queens own explorers and bodyguards. He wears the crimson lined heavy cloaks that signify a Champion and rarely reveals his form unless he has a measure of respect for his opponent.

Personality: Cold and aloof, he has very little patience for most beings. He is a good ally and better friend but he has few of those. He is the favored scout of the dreaming queen, traveling through the vast multiverse seeking experiences and understanding for the eternal sleeper. Though he is a loyal subject, he has his own desires to once again see his wife and his two children, while seemingly impossible; the multiverse is indeed a strange place where the impossible is limited only by the desire to challenge it.

[4] Inherent Powers: Being Xindhi, when damaged he can slowly regenerate himself, however the extent of the damage dictates the amount of time it takes him to reassemble. However even Xindhi regenerative power is limited as overwhelming damage, either magical or physical can be more than the regeneration process can handle. Healing only happens when out of combat. Surprisingly he is able to move with grace and agility. He has the increased strength bestowed upon him by the very nature of the Xindhi, equal to 20 human men, (able to lift/press roughly 2,600 pounds).

[4] He can summon his shadow mount by touching his necklace and calling it from the dreaming realms, the space between worlds via his galdhr mastery. (see galdhr manipulation Tier 4-subset 4)

[4-8] Inherent Skills: He is a master of medieval sword combat as well as close-quarter-combat skills involving both weapon and weaponless combat techniques. Having trained through the aeons of existence in these styles.

His sword and dagger also confer some powers to him.

[4-8] His sword Keefe is a war sword.The 36” long black blade is nicked and notched through years of use, the heavy steel hilt has runes carved into it from a language long forgotten, the 8” handle allows for both a single or two-handed grip. The sword is 44” long giving him a very effective reach. The runes allow for aesr effects to be enacted upon the sword, creating a thin sheen of seidhr that rides as a shimmering glow a few millimeters above the actual blade. The seidhr-enhanced sword can affect preternatural creatures as easily as it can slice through armor plate.

[4-8] His dagger Rhiannon is wide with its blade measuring 17” long and two inches wide, the blade is shrouded in a black pulsating mist that seems to have a life of its own. The thick 5” handle is covered in hide from an animal that only legends only speak of. The pulsating mist is an aspect of galdhr with a simple thought from Skallagrim the dagger can transform into a shield of dark energy/matter. This shield can blunt energy and preternatural forces as easily as it can mundane.



What are the patterns of Aesr? According to the Gothi of the Xindhi, the whole universe is composed Aesr, the energy of life, both seidhr (visible) and galdhr (invisible).

The Aesr is the energy that courses through everything. It is the electromagnetic surge that is the firing discharges between synapses that produce thoughts in the brain; the impulses that race through nerve endings and is the aura that surrounds all creatures. Since all living animals and plants have the aura, they have some aspect of Aesr residing within them.

Why is it called the Patterns of Aesr? The patterns of aesr refer to the vibrational energy that resonates and emits from all living creatures. It is this pattern, this thrum of life that weaves its way through the multiverse and can be felt, tracked and manipulated by anyone who has learned the twins aspects of aesr. Aesr manipulation provides control over more conventional paradigms, such as the origin of life, consciousness, the observable laws of probability, and the nature of subjective experience. Aesr creates a shared experience between the user and those who are recipients of the effects, be it a living organism or an area where a discharge of vibrational energy (aesr) imprints itself into the landscape. These events are called occurrences. Occurrences are recorded in the vibrational patterns of the aesr and it can be drawn upon at a later date and “replayed” for understanding. Those skilled in aesr are adept at reading the events, the occurrences of experience to glean understanding of their surroundings.



So aesr refers to a collective field of consciousness (resonance/vibration) that manifests in any perspective, context or occurrence Aesr can also be referred to as self-moments which organize themselves as a holos ( a Greek word meaning whole) or complete occurrences that are imprinted in the greater whole of the multiverse. A holo is both a part within a larger whole and an individual event comprised of smaller parts of separate events or occurrences. Thus the occurrence exists as a unique event within a larger collective; and the occurrence also exists as the larger collective within which the individuals experiencing the event in question exists. The Multiverse is an example of a holos, or a whole system and every holos we are aware of is a part of this larger holos.

So what is the seidhr? It is the manipulation of the aesr energy that becomes the bodies of all living creatures and plant life. At the end of the cycle of all things; the solids, the liquids and the gasses all melt and coalesce into the aesr again. This is part of the law of the conservation of energy. Those adept at manipulation of seidhr can convert energy of aesr from one form to another, but the energy itself cannot be created or destroyed. Seidhr created effects are usually seen along the electromagnetic spectrum.

Since the adept possess aesr within themselves, they can convert their own energies to create effects from energy on the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes radio waves, visible light, electricity, magnetism, microwaves, and radiation. They can also draw the energy from other objects and creatures via electrostatic induction. By creating an electrical field of their seidhr, an adept can create some immense effects.

[4] Seidhr Sense- At the most basic level, the adept can sense different forms of energy, "seeing" up and down the EM spectrum. This ability is the basic "senses" of the adept, they can "hear" and detect sound waves. They can see in the infra, ultra and visible spectrum of light as well as x-rays. While seemingly powerful it is limited by objects which can obscure their vision. An adept can also spread their senses across the EM spectrum, they can search for specific objects or creatures as they extend their senses to look in the various parts of the EM spectrum at once! The adept senses everything going on along the entire electro-magnetic spectrum. The greater the mastery of the seidhr the greater the range the adept has.

At this most basic training he can infuse the “runes” on his sword with some aspect of the EM Spectrum.

[5] Seidhr Induction- This ability allows the adept to create an induction field around them that can fuel their other abilities. An adept can overload or shut down electrical equipment, jam radio signals, bend or negate light, create shimmering images that “ghost” around them and other similar effects.

By generating a field of electrical energy they can create these effects which can be expanded to encompass a radius out to a minimum range of 300 meters effectively. Further mastery increases the range by a 1000-fold every level of mastery, and it can only obscured by objects hardened or capable of defeating this field. This induction field allows the adept to use their powers in a nearly limitless manner as they are not using their own aesr to fuel their effects, rather the electrical field is drawing energy from the area and converting it for use by the adept.

At the next level of mastery this field is 300,000 meters in size, then 300,000,000 meters etc.

[6] Seidhr Projection- An adept can project bolts of pure energy, generate electricity, electromagnetic pulses, and so forth. The adept at this point of control begins the transform of their body into pure energy, losing the flesh and becoming skeletal, only powered by their aesr. They no longer eat, sleep or breath and begin losing their humanity. The now flesh-stripped bones are wrapped in the energy signature of the aesr, creating a haunting skeletal being laced with energy tendrils. The adept loses the ability to emphasize with others, and begins seeing and experiencing events that are imprinted in the holos. This loss of flesh is the price of power paid by those adept at using the aesr.

[7] Seidhr Manipulation- The adept can control and manipulate the equivalent electrical power of a small city. They can shed enough light to see for miles. They can drain the heat of an entire forest fire, and convert it to another form of energy. An adept can also suck all the light and sound out of an area and transforming it into heat, the adept then can cause an area within their aspect of control to suddenly burst into all-consuming flames. There are a host of things that an adept can do that at this level that make them dangerous. This coupled with the induction field can create a living dynamo of immense proportions, capable of incredible feats based on the electromagnetic spectrum of energy.

[8] Seidhr Generation- The adept has full control of the energies of the electromagnetic spectrum, generating its various energy fields at will. The induction of energy at this level of mastery is incredible, adepts are like living stars, able to create explosions powerful enough to devastate a planet via scalar wave discharges of energy. Their mastery also allows them to focus on individual particles or waves of energy. An adept at this level can affect a planet or planetary system with their power. With time the atmosphere of a planet can be sucked away or can be ignited to burn everything a chaotic gaseous explosion.

Just as the visible universe is composed of seidhr, the Xindhi Gothi claim that the unseen universe is made of galdhr.

So what is galdhr? Galdhr is the unseen and unsensed dark energy universe. All matter and energy exists in the multiverse and while the visible universe is felt and manipulated by the seidhr. The dark energy can only be sensed by thrum of its patterns, which can be heard, can be felt, can be controlled by galdhr. At the end of the cycle of all things unseen and in the “dark” universe, the dark energy solids, liquids and the gasses all melt and coalesce into the galdhr again. This again is part of the law of the conservation of energy.

Adepts have the ability to sense the dark energy at the most basic and fundamental levels. This "sense" coupled with the ability to "see" along the electromagnetic spectrum is what gives the adept their perceptive senses of the multiverse.

[4] Galdhr Sense- The adept can sense dark energy and its various and often frightening fluctuations. Among other things, they can sense when others are manipulating this dark energy, and the lingering effects of such manipulations. While perhaps not able to identify the exact nature of the manipulation, the energy signature can be used to trace it back the source. When any magical effect is attempted within the adepts range they may detect the weaving of the etheric threads, i.e. magical energies via this method as it deals with energies that natural seidhr senses would not detect.

[Subset ability-4] Adepts can create a “mount” from the same foamy dark material, which are often skeletal in appearance and shimmer and shift in and out of reality. These mounts cannot exist in the visible world without focus by the adept. This ability is taught once an Adept has learned to “see” dark energies, as their focus for further understanding of how and why dark energies make up 95.1% of the entire multiverse.

[5] Galdhr Impression- The adept has a strong sense of spatial relationships and can sense nearby "dark space" without using the normal five senses. The adept can also detect the presence of any spatial anomalies, because of the displacement of dark energy. This perceptive ability can detect things like “worm holes” between dimensions. The adept can detect the sudden displacement of objects into "dark space" out to a minimum range of 300 meters effectively.

As with seidhr perception further mastery increases the range by a 1000-fold every level of mastery. At the next level of mastery this field is 300,000 meters in size, then 300,000,000 meters etc.

[6] Galdhr Insight- The perception of tracing the dark energy particles as they interact with gravity allows the adept the ability sense the pull of gravity waves. Thus they can detect the displacement caused by objects as they move. The less massive the object, the more difficult it is to detect. (All objects "fall" and this rate of fall and the interaction of dark energy is what is observed by the adept.) Thus a human walking across the face of the earth can be detected by their rate of fall in relation to the gravitational center of the earth. This insight is the basis of how an adept travels between worlds and dimensions as they simply follow the gravity trails along the dark energy paths.

Because of the Galdhr insight ability an adept can easily translate their perceptions into accurate measurement units such as amperage, volts etc. This ability of quantification includes kinetic energy, which allows an adept to determine an object's speed in relation to them if they know the mass.

[7] Galdhr Manipulation- The adept can manipulate dark energy particles to "fuel" the creation of matter or energy out of the unseen multiverse. An adept of Galdhr Manipulation can also change how certain elements interact with other elements through infusion of dark energy or matter. He can make one element unable to interact with another element, he can create material that's insubstantial to certain substances. Thus a sword can pierce body armor or could pass through the epidermis without breaking it. The adept can also make matter take on the properties of some other matter or take on entirely new properties, so a piece of matter could be made superconductive, incredibly strong and somewhat ductile, despite originally being a sheet of paper.

The adept at this level can essentially create a “things” out of "nothing." One of the most commonly created objects are the dreaming gates. It is via these gates that the adept can travel between worlds and dimensions. Travel between dimensions is dangerous and the traveler can easily get lost by the rapidly changing nature of the space between worlds. The dark universe is a type of “foam” that bubbles and vanishes in such rapidity that it seems as if they never had existed at all. Travel along this foam which can be viewed as a torus in space that intersects with all spaces and times in the multiverse. The dark foam folds and twists and provides "paths" which can be ridden between dimensions. An adept cannot walk between worlds until they have mastered this level of control.

[8] Galdhr Understanding- The adept can “read” and “imprint” experiences in the vast dark energy multiverse. This makes use of the incalculable energy that resides in the unseen multiverse as a repository of knowledge. While seidhr imprints exist in the visible world, an aesr adept often scribes messages, histories or other information within the dark universe. This is akin to the akashic records theory of a vast database of cosmic knowledge and experiences accessible by those who know how. This is the Grand Master level of Galdhr control. A Grand Master of the Galdhr can affect things on a planetary scale easily.

A Grand Master can connect their psyches with any other Dreamer living or dead, even those in the stasis of Slumber. By doing so they can harness the experiences of the Dreamer to better understand a current problem. Grand Masters can connect too many Dreamers, but the more they connect too, the greater chance they will enter the Slumber themselves as their energies become entwined with those of others.

The idea of the Seidhr and Galdhr is comprised in the saying of Hermes Trismegistus, "As Above, So Below" . The visible and invisible universe work in conjunction to create the greater whole. Mastery of both aspects of Aesr allows an adept incredible powers over creation.

While all Xindhi have Aesr as part of their structure and form, not all Xindhi are skeletal horrors. The more adept and powerful the user is the less human-like they look until they are ghastly skeletal beings with the Aesr evident in their skulls and coursing along their bones in arcs and flashes of energy. Naturally if a Xindhi no longer uses or employs the Aesr they will slowly revert back to their flesh forms over a number of months until they are fully flesh and blood again.

Limitations to Powers: Limitations: If pushed beyond their limits, Dreamers will begin slowing and ultimately falling into what is called the Slumber. They will not wake until 12 hours minimum have passed in which their bodies have recouped lost energies. Some Grand Masters have Slumbered for several of Eons.
