Index An excerpt from the Encyclopedia of the Great Council of Ultins pertaining to the worlds of the Candle Star Absolute Form or Ascended Forms- characterized basically as a form which does not need to enter a Metasynth State because the form is already there. The other characterization is that the Absolute Forms cannot exit out of a Metasynth state. Otherwise, absolute forms are undescernable since they can be anything they choose and are beyond chronological time. This makes them mostly unintelligable. Alvinists- they are any individual, entity, etc. that follows the work and ways of Alvin Abernous. Alvinism- the ideas and work of Alvin Abernous Altimentor- Refers to any first form that has the abilities of the Ultins up to and possibly including an Ultimentor. (see Iasiney and The One) Alvin Abernous- Human Synthician who specialized in general and deep therapy by Synth. He made major breakthroughs and contribution to his world. He was utterly fascinated by helping, healing, and therapy on anyone and anything for any reasons, "made insane by it" one critic of his work said. He started a movement with his works toward a more peaceful world. The movement caught the attention of everyone but soon dissagreements broke out and the Synthician community frowned upon his work. There was a great effort to ban him lead by Salina Solidos and succeded. He was forced into exhile but made a small community of his followers in a supportive country on another land. This was later routed out and Alvin imprisoned for supposed terrorist conspiracy. He spent the rest of his days then on in prison (or so everyone was lead to believe). Anthropomorphics- Form of study from any particular race anthropomorphic, humanoid, or sentient that study Anthropomorphic societies or Anthropomorphism in general. Anthropomorphists- Those who study Anthropomorphics. Ascention- Changeover from first form to absolute form but with inability to change back. Bue Juice- Created by the rouge Ultin The Belly. This liquid, when ingested, imbedes to the body like fat and increases size. The liquid is not harmful to the body as fat and with slight synth suggestion the Juice can be induced to increase the size of certain buildup of the body. The liquid actually prolongs life but with the cost of a bigger body size. Council of Mentors- The highest of the Ultin Councils and treated as an overseeing council (see ultin councils). Crynician- Mid-High level of Synth User. Rather disciplined and can command some impressive forms of Synth Power. Cryston- Sub structure of every existing being is embued with this particular subunit. It is so microscopic that really the cryston is only a myth. The cryston has been studied by some first forms as well as secondary forms. What is known by them both is that the cryston helps with Synth. Cryston Power- When the cryston in anything is agitated or envoked, various fields around the Cryston become sensitive. With a particular process, the fields then can be manipulated. Durizuit- Ruling Clan of Sengor Lor of Pranoke having political ties in with the main representative government and responsible for the isolationist attitude and for cutting off mostly all ties with the outside world and clans or governments they didn't trust. Form Synthicism- developed by Alvin Abernous for use specifically with finding out if a person is Otherkin. The way he did it was to first generally inquire into any surface possibility of Otherkinness ranging from simple questions aimed at trying to quickly narrow down the other form by seeing what the person 'identifies' with or believes to identify with. The final step was to verify it by linking minds in metasynth and to search specific areas of the person for otherkinness. If the results matched then the person is otherkin. The process is delicate and time consuming. If the results of surface to depth don't match it does not mean that the person is not otherkin. The use of this technique had the greatest frequency and was most recorded done both by Alvin and several followers, mostly when Alvin was in his middle ages and onward. Ias i'ney- Great Myth amongst even the Ultins. Ias was or still is supposedly an Incarnate of The One though many of those he came across he while he was or while he is in this incarnate phase knew or know not his true identity as he forbade them looking beyond, though he uses most of his abilities as Highest God as this incarnate which is why he is suspected being incarnated as such. Illume Liquid- Naturally and sometimes artificial liquid which sparkles and illuminates. The brightness can be controlled with as low as a minutian level of synth discipline. King Jyiri- Name of the government of North Caprice which was mostly styled as a monarchy by King Jyiri and Queen Xelivi, it was really a puppet dictatorship of General Hedin who was in league with Jyiri, forcing him to follow his rule.. Keynician- Mid most level of Synth User. Commonmost in first forms, these ones can do a few remarkable synth events. Minutian- Lowest level of first form Synth User. Mostly everyone and everything that has Cryston in them are considered a Minutian. Metasynth- The parallel existence where masprits live. If one wishes to use synth they must enter metasynth first. They then negotiate with the masprits there as to which synth effect/affect is desired. Meta is beyond and synth is to bring together; literally synth is bringing together of beyond forces. Myth of the One- First form belief that gained ground enough to be a religeon in most places and even a guild in the Candlestar which is The Guild of the Mystics of the One. This myth is that an Ultin who had power beyond all other Absolute forms and first forms combined created the Universe and Named it Pelelope. The One then created synth as a silver stream that flowed out from the Central Spindle in the center of the universe filling all things with Cryston or Maspritae. Among Absolute forms, they know better (see The One). Panthenon of the Many- Part of the Synthicism belief system in that there exists a great council of Ultin Mentors who direct the universe and everything that happens in it (see Ultin Council), especially Synth. Quanician- Mid-Low level of Synth User. More disciplined and can do a few bit of interesting tricks. Rpjion- A myth held in some select first form legends. It stems from an ancient society where Animals were greatly revered and worshipped by the society. During one of the festivals of the year where each person dressed up as their favorite anthropomorphized animal, Power and Dream came to them and caused their flesh to embed into their costume, thus causing them to become totally different creatures, hybrids of their animals forms they were wearing. Some of the beings left unto a new world unpopulated by sentient forms that they were originally so they named the world Rpjion. This is how and why there are anthropomorphic animals in the universe. Saynajaus- Ruling clan of the Maginean nation of Hale Forth. Once the clan took over most of the govenment, the Land of Hail Primus was renamed to Hale Forth. Quite deceptionist and ruthless. Has a hate for Michi Gimiguchi and seeks to wipe his and the Vore and Gluttony movement he started. Attempts at assasination of Michi are usually carried out by them. Synth- Any of the various processes used to manipulate Cryston Power. Commonly used to refer to anything involving using Cryston Power. These processes include anything similar to meditation, hypnotic suggestion, daydreaming, sleep, et al. but involving a parallel state of consciousness where the user enters Metasynth. There, the user's physical and mental perceptions are increased; the mind, body, reality, etc. et al. are literally linked. Studies suggest that the buzzing of the crystons allow the user to enter metasynth. How outside forces are so manipulatable from then is due to Maspritae which are masprits in their usual form. Synthician- High level of the first form type of Synth User. A synthician is usually specialized and has the most complex knowledge of synth otherwise. Alone, one Synthician can perform near-catastrophic Synth Events if willing. Synthicism- A discipline which studies synth and contributes to a knowledge base of formal synth use. The One- Universal Master, omnipotent, omniscient, constant creator of the Universe as it is. Started the Ultin Council and is the head having the title UltiMentor Ultins- Any of the various interuniversal beings that have ability to command infinite amounts of Cryston Power in and out of themselves, so are really the highest Synth Users of all in the universe. Seen as a reclusive race of entities in the first form myths, Ultins are indeed real and not just anyone is an Ultin. Only an interplay of various factors can guarantee Ultinity. Since all first forms perish only a perished first form can become and Ultin. Otherwise, the persihed first form becomes another ascended form. Ultins can only be made by Ultins and usually either by reproduction with other Ultins or with other forms. Ultins have a knowledge capacity of extended sense and perception into surrounding space. Abilities are various and range with Cryston Power. Called the caretakers of the Universe there are many Ultins, and some form councils to keep track of each other. To equalize with each other, some Ultins adopts a speciality. Some Ultins are unaccounted for so the councils in their whole are not totally balanced and sometimes specialties overlap. Ultin Councils- Collaboration by some but not all of the Ultins in the universe into councils that's collective collaboration directs the universe to some extent but usually they have to content with Rogue Ultins and other Secondary forms. The One is the overseer of the council but doesn't get directly involved with it. The highest overseeing council is the Council of Mentors or Elders (see Council of Mentors). Ziyvuris- Usage of Synth by sapping the energy of creatures that are eaten before full digestion occurs. An excerpt of the bestiary of the worlds of the Candle Star, authored by Karen Kavenshire, Ultin Council Recordkeeper Baidofs- A Race of Anthropomorphic Bats. Cadis Drak (Cade)- Hybrid form of a dragon bred by Drakknights. Usually is describerd as a small ovalish like draconic form in white skin the size of a human with the head and horns of a ram, a long and lithe neck, an ovalish body, no wings, and a whip-like tail. Eyes are blue and besides other minute similarities, it is hard to distinquish one Cade from another. Very powerful in strength and quite smart, they usually have innate synth abilities. They can fly without wings and can move so quick they appear invisible or in a blur. Cait- Mountain or Plain dwelling, they are a cat-like race Charzen- absolute form which is usually seen as a freefloating grain of sand or bit of earth. Immortal and they command interesting variations of Cryston Power on climate and atmosphere. Demon- any of the various parasitic absolute forms which usually prey on first forms although they do not always need them to survive. As with other absolute forms, they are immortal and command some substantial Cryston Power. Diberd- Half human, half bird. Dragataur- Half Dragon, Half Horse. Dragon- generally considered a mythological beast represented usually as a huge winged serpent which could breathe fire. Many variations exist but this is the general considered form. Dragonbird- small bird sized flying dragon. Drake- Half human half dragon creature which can project fire from openings in their wrist instead of mouth. Drakknaught- Half Maginean, half-Human. Vary remarkable form having both a balance and unique synth skills. Drakknight- humanoid and very similar to magineans except are much more malicious as a society and their ears come down to a point toward the bottom of their heads instead of up and they also sense changes in fields of synth at this point on their ears. The Drakknights were conceived by Glite whence he was still a maginean first form and he used synth to manipulate his offspring genetically altering them. The Elder God Power sensing a threat to his superior race The Eliusers (see Eliuser) assassinated him but this was the wrong thing to do as Glite rose as an Ultin, not nearly as powerful in scope as Power but burning with revenge. He trained and altered his offspring further until they were nearly immune to the Capturing Crystals that the Eliusers used. Thankfully for the Eliusers that there existed other forms to manipulate, they soon became bitter enemies and seemingly everlasting conflict ensued between them. Yet, in folklore of the first forms it's better to be captured by an Eliuser than a Drakknight as Eliuser eventually let their captives go alive after they have used them to a certain point. Duorgnaks- The result of interbreeding between Drakknights and Dwarves resulted in the Duorgnaks which are taller than dwarves but shorter than elves, between slender and stocky, they are almost perfectly balanced light greenish blue tinged skinned creatures, one hand length smaller than humans and magineans. They appear naturally isolationist and don't interact with other races very much, and rarely if so. They are otherwise extremely intelligent and imaginative, having otherwise crafted many remarkable devices overrivaling the Drakknights and the Eliusers in technological advancements but never shared the technology with anyone else. Lady Dream, who has fancied this race cites several times where they have helped out other creatures and races. Dwardra- sometimes called a wyvern, this form is a dragon that is minature in size to a regular dragon. Dwarf- Short stocky humanoid form. Some can possess low level synth skills but are usually miners with a very good sense of the underground. The only one to surpass them are knomes. Ezen- tall creatures with the head of a dog/wolf and body of a human, the are loyal to all who honor them and are very capable fighters. Eliuser (pronounced Ellie Ooosah)- The Eliuser was a race conceived by the Elder God Power. He created a race of creatures about four feet tall born without heavy fur, moreso short furred, and resembling a sort of muskrat crossed with a marsupial type creature that was bipedal. Then he presented his creatures with a single gem that could fit in their usually three inch four digit hand. This crystal could trap anything that it was exposed to, minus the Eliusers themselves, and thus the Eliuser could use the energy off of whatever they trapped, whether it was pure energy or a living creature to fashion near catastrophic events. As a result the Eliusers advanced quick and conquested much and are a great rival of the Drakknights. (see Drakknights) Eshmutai- Sometimes referred to as fawns, they are small light red furred cousins of anthro mountain goats, who had once crossed with mountain knomes. They are about two elbow lengths in height though some vary slightly in size either taller by a finger length or shorter. Fairy- absolute form possessing innate wild cryston power. Unpredictable, they usually sometimes protect lakes and streams and are avoided by most first forms except Maginean folk and their cousins which are heard in some stories to be able to strike up co-existance with them. Giant- Used to refer to anything large but usually an oversized human reaching heights of over twelve feet tall. Rare but definitely formidible. Goblin- Small shrewd green skinned humanoids. They usually are elusive, sometimes cave-dwelling creatures looked down upon by many first-forms since some tribes of them are deceptive and michevious. Only the Magnineans, drakknights, and drakknaughts don't seem to frown upon the goblins. Thus, some have been able to dwell in their lands and have established themselves well in their societies. Gryphon- part eagle, part lion. Wild and usually ferocious. Hippogryph- part eagle, part horse. Much more wild and ferocious than gryphons. Hudra- dragon which is similar in size, makeup, and a little in shape to a human. Hydra- Considered to be a multiple headed dragon. Human- adaptable first form with tendencies either toward good or evil. They are usually upright standing, various toned skinned forms with heights from five to six feet tall, arms shorter than legs, legs are hinged to provide them smooth running abilties, usually have hands with five appendages or "fingers" good for grasping objects. Bodies are equal in size to legs and able to bend with spinal column in back, neck is short and head mid sized and circular shaped. Face is usually ears to the side of head eyes toward top nose below and mouth and chin below that. Very common due to adaptability and equally skilled when needed with other forms except absolute forms. Ifrit- Also called a genie or djinn. An ifrit is any absolute form with considerable Cryston Power that usually inhabit an object and grant the requests of any form which bears the object they inhabit. Jackalope- A Jackrabbit that has horns. Very rare, not likely to get out in the public eye but tales are told of these creatures uncanny cleverness and quickness not to mention the spot of useful wisdom they give when any good conversation is made with them. Jakel- Anthropomorphic (human-like) Jackal. Kellsdracontai- Superior form of a dragon which could almost be a dragon style of Ultin. Only one recorded by first form myths is one in the Landolai lands. Different from Ultins because of a superior wisdom that may signify that the form was around even longer than Ultins, one single one single one having the power of three ultins combined. They are also characterized by indirect synth usage and really only use their synth through their breath e.g. having maybe at one time a fiery breath and then at the other times an other cryston powered breath. Kedeshmut- Thrice crossing, combined fairy and Eshmutai, these creatures are short haired yellowish orange skinned creatures usually a finger length taller than knomes, but with ears centered up atop their heads and horns sprouting from their forhead, sometimes making them a little off on the hearing. They can float around through the air as their Fairy cousins but without wings. They usually take up residence close to well traveled spots where they can live comfortably because of their size. They sometimes follow travelers curiously and most of the time try to strike up a conversation with them. They are bit more synth intuned as Faries and as capable of producing synth. They are mythed in first form tales to throw bolders around, uproot a patch of trees cleanly, and even to blast meteor sized holes in the ground. Other tales have them traveling as emissaries or traveling around with other races, sometimes boring them to death with constant chatter and lectures. Lady Explore has helped and taken in some of this race, and does outright acknowledge these creatures as her favorites. Knome- Very small nimble sub-humanoid form sometimes called imps. These usually hand length tall creatures possess some acute wild sub cryston ability but only usually do mild tricks with them. Their main skill is in mining and they are the best at it with dwarves coming in second. Maginean- humanoid form with fair skin, upward pointing ears, and light skeletal structures which makes them nimble. They have unique abilties with quickness and are naturally adept at Synth ability. They also have remarkable natural tracking and forester skills and are usually tied close to forests as a result. Masprit- sometimes called sprites or even imps, a masprit is any of the various sub cryston absolute forms that command a substantial amount of wild cryston power. Very unstable and are seen as wavery barely distinquishable forms. Sometimes though they assume clear distinquishable forms but are still unpredictable. They are considered the collective of an infinite number of Maspritae. When one enters metasynth then a masprit is who is usually negotiated with to enact synth events. Masprits and Maspritae are sometimes referred to Synth themselves by first forms but most absolute forms call them Maspritae. Maspritae- Undefined constant sub cryston absolute form. They are always invisible (see masprit) and cannot be perceived but are believed to exist by first forms to exist as a subliminal silver river stream flowing around everything. Absolute forms can perceive them and direct their flow depending on what type of absolute form they are. Megish- Part dragon, donkey, wolf, tiger, and human. Very deceptively kind when you look in it's eyes. I find that I am drawn to this creation unlike any other. They are like an odd but beautiful furry nymph. I made these things have some acute wild synth power. I've also noticed that they remind me of cadis Draks though the cades are more ovalish in form. Olomoon- Red tail tipped, flighty creatures, about a hand length longer than a mouse and able to form speech understood by most creatures. Called Imp Rats derogatorily because of their usual habit of stealing people's food right off the plate and their resemblance of rat. They in truth are not related to any species directly and can stand and walk on their hind legs as flawless as any bipedal and appear anthropomorphic, but then can walk on all four legs on the tip top of their three toed paws so lightly, they appear to be gingerly caressing the land. They are as wily as Fairies and sometimes guard their territory with as much ferocity. They have an accute wild synth sense which mostly lets them avoid trouble by increasing speed and locate and scavenge food before giving them an real offensive qualities. Jackolopes are found around these creatures sometimes and vice versa. Orc- sometimes called a hobgoblin, these are intelligent human sized cousins of goblins that are usually leaders amongst goblin tribes. Sometimes manipulative and calculating enough of others that some first form leaders shudder at having to deal with them. Otherkin or Otherkind- diverse creatures characterized different due to their ability to changeover between two distinct or non-distinct forms but can only change between those two forms. A limited type of shapeshifter but Otherkind can also be classified as between an absolute and a first form because they completely change souls and personalities when they shift having a distinct duality, a seperate existence and form in the same space of form. Otherkin may or may not know when they shift or not and also may or may not be able to control it. Thus, anyone or anything no matter what other special traits they have, that is at least a first form can be otherkin and not know it. There are many examples of otherkin types thus of which include but are not limited to: human to dragon and the reverse, goblin to gryphon, and the reverse. Otherkin can be forced such as a disease or deficiency, or inherant such as being able to shift from birth. Being an absolute form of course does not count because they cannot be constant. Spilor- creature with the head and body of a human and the body of a giant spider. Sonair- dolphins that have added wings of bats. Basically just a flying dolphin and are just about as social and curious. There are both salt and freshwater kinds. Troll- tall, disheveled looking humanoid with remarkable strength but possessing a short temper, and sometimes possessing some synth abilities. They are cousins of fairies but are still first form. They have not established themselves very well in most worlds. Ultin- See Ultin Council Encyclopedias Excerpt from Ias's experimental creature log Blem- Is a creature with three mouths that can expand pretty well. With tongues in the middle mouth, tube like syphons in the top mouth, and no tongue in the bottom. This creature I gave it the abiltiy to inject venom to numb whoever or whatever was injected with it. I turned human and put my head on the top mouth, my belly on the middle mouth, and my genitals in the last one. Beforehand I had given the blem a large inducement of water. I then induced the creature to put it's top tongue into my throat and move it into my stomach, then to insert a needle into my stomach. When done, I had it spew the water into my stomach with the tube tongue until I was very full then I had it use it's venom to numb my stomach so it could get bigger without me feeling much pain. Afterwards I had it retract the water again and I found out my stomach could hold more afterwards. Gludra- A form of dragon which constantly hungers, being genetically altered to have great cravings for sustainence. In experiments however, they usually ate until burst and so died. I will have to alter the genetics to allow them to stop before bursting Homenbluer- half plant half human with syphons and sacs around the body which the syphons attach to. The sacs can expand pretty to pretty impressive sizes. Lumpa- Big round sand dwelling creature with many stomachs that moves through the sand waiting for a meal to fall into her open mouth. Pot Bellied Dragon- As the name implies so it is, there is only one i've created named Sidge, Sidge's children are also inherant of the PBD form. Stonition- A parasite type of creature being extemely small but I've given it some capabilities to increase size if wished. Also, the parasite can telecommunicate. It is really a stomach type parasite and dwells in the stomach and puts its larvae there which move through the digestive tract and into the feces where they are born. Wolfdron- Taking a wolf, I created a wolf having no hair around it's belly and it's belly being moreso pot-bellied and fatter. Phedra- I plumped up the hydra and gave it a few stomachs but as a result had to take it's fire. Still has wings though. These things I have made them able to eat metal! Ijikel- My version of the Jakel. Naturally plump and fat with two bellies on the front and back. The result gives it double genitals, pelvis, double joints, double legs, and double feet starting from the belly and down. The double part really starts at halves so looks like feet start to make two but stop. Adds more power as a result, don't let these things get the upper hand with their lower end. Ligor- Version of the manticore, usually darker fur, left the stinging tail, put a little bit of monkey in the face, leave the batwings, tone the lion body moreso to coyote. Ripped it's back fur down to darker skin and bowled out the belly, hippo belly combination making the fur dark purple. I have tried Anthropomorphic versions with success. Hegtish- Take a part Megish and Part zebra. Result is a Megishtaur with white fluffy wings with black and white strips about them. I love riding these around the sky. Anthropomorphic versions of course look similar to Megish but with hooves and a more standing horse lower body shape. Shruvore- Moreso an idea taken into food consumption as Sidge has inspired me. This is a type of shrew that is the size of a capybaya or the size of a large mouse and can it ever eat. A little bit of snake charm around it's jaws and a better capacitied stomach and... Shepvore- Half Shruvore, half sheep, much more fluffy version of the Shruvore. Special Tables and Measurements Hand Length= Five Inches Elbow Length= One Foot Arm Length= Two Feet Tree Length= 50 yards Half Tree= 25 yards Skyline= 100 yards Horizon= 1000 yards Alctitude= One mile Jump Line= A Light Year Titles of Ziyvurism Titles are measured by the amount of creatures successfully swallowed and residing in the stomach. Title attainment is measured in ratio of creatures to ingesting creature's size. Degrees are measures by the ability to absorb and use synth from all of the ingested creatures of current title. Degrees are not given or encouraged from the Ziyvur temple. Voreling is to Three Creatures. Catament is the Degree. Monk is to eating five creatures at least the same size of them within thirty seconds and still being able to move. Master Monk is the Degree. Uinimer is to Seven. Belgindarm is the Degree. Eoger is to Ten Creatures. Oqid is the Degree. Vorifor is to Seventeen Creatures. Hujukm is the Degree. Camber is to Twenty four creatures. Janum is the Degree. Zempre is to Thirty six creatures. Oosarnim is the Degree. Nykaq is to to forty eight creatures. Vinian is the Degree. Catament is to Seventy Creatures. Eklekshion is the Degree. Helvenarm is to ninety Creatures. Aslestial is the Degree. Ziyvur Priest is to one hundred thirty creatures. Ziyvur Vicar is the Degree but has not been broken because of the power it requires and because of the politics of the position. Ziyvur High Priest was first recorded at Seven hundred twenty nine creatures but the minimal barrier was set to anything over three hundred creatures. Ziyvur Eckomensor is the Degree of which no High priest has been able to break because of the immense power that is channeled and because of the politics and ethics of the position.
