Iramasha Update Workstation [Open To All]

What Are Iramasha: Otherworldly beings. That simple phrase is enough to describe what Iramasha are. They embrace the nature of all the metaphysical and physical constructs which compromise this universe. Unlike Danava or Sugiura, they do not derive their powers by becoming the embodiments of concepts, nor does it come by reflecting their elements from the mind. Rather, their power comes from the world around them.

Formerly classified as "Chaos Energy", The Iramasha draw in power from "Aether". Aether is the medium that Iramasha use in order to attune themselves to their power and awaken their mythical prowess. Through this instrument of energy can their bodies begin to channel in and summon the element of the universe they wish to draw in power from. Once they become aware of the construct in which their body is attuned to, their personality traits and powers will begin to shape soon after.

As you will see in the italics, an example of an Aether is used can be seen:

Spoiler:

Digressing, the universe is in constant motion. And, because of that, the prowess which the Iramasha's body reflect have the capacity to evolve, alter and adapt to this ever-changing world. As the Iramasha trains their body, progresses through life and becomes further self-aware as time presses on, their elements can advance and transform. It will require intense training, but unlike most races, The Iramasha have immense customization over what they WANT their powers to be.

Material Reproduction: Although the bodies of the Iramasha are mythical in nature, they still can reproduce through traditional means of sexual intercourse. That means that the bulk of Iramasha are often produced by breeding. The birth cycle can vary wildly for Iramasha, however. Some are capable of given birth within a matter of days, while some have been known to hold their offspring within themselves for years.

Most interspecies reproduction is also possible with most known races, but if the Iramasha breeds with an external race, their genes will often fight to be the dominant one to the point of trying to block usage of the non-Iramasha parent's racial traits. This applies to all methods of Iramasha creation

Aether & Energy Reproduction: Since Iramasha feed on the world around them, it isn't exactly difficult for them to construct their own offspring by creating them with their energy. It may take some time to cultivate, but Iramasha are fully capable of producing children with their Aether. This process can take anywhere from hours, to days, to weeks, months or years depending on how skilled they are with their Aether Control. It's also possible for up to four Iramasha to come together to merge their Aether to create children as well. [This applies to mating with other races as well. As Aether can intermix with other energies.]

Reincarnation: It is possible for Iramasha to reincarnate themselves at the cusp of death in some cases. Often, Iramasha with high Aether Control have been known to recycle their Aether Class into a new being and continue on the cycle of their legacy. For instance, Cirno Iramasha is an Iramasha who is a reincarnated host of the Former Angel of The Ice. She was killed in battle, but managed to produce one last Aether Ritual to reincarnate the winter and holy elements of the world to infuse themselves into a new being to live on for her.

Mineral Extraction: Since Aether exists in between realms and monitors phenomena across dimensions, it isn't out of the question that the bodies of the Iramsaha can be made from the constructs in which they start out with. For example, it is possible for Angel Iramasha to be born in churches as these are often places where holy and angelic themes are often found. While, for Devil Iramasha, they could be born following catastrophic events of destruction due to the nature of their decaying Aether.

Conversion: Iramasha are also capable of converting both living and spiritual creatures into their race. However, the party being converted must consent to it prior to transforming. (I.E. the player or creator has to give permission. So it can be forced as well if the creator or owner of the character wishes it to be.) With that, many sorts of rituals can be done which breaks down the persons body, fuses them with Aether and allows them to be born-again as an Iramasha.

The primary danger of this, however, is the fact that once you become an Iramasha -- you are more than likely locked in that race. It may be possible to shift into another race if you are killed by something like a demon, but it is extremely difficult if not impossible to revert once this change is made.

Aether Energy exists on a plane of existence which is found in between most realms. The Iramasha's body acts as a bridge between them and they are able to attune themselves to this force. This is because their body has specialized pathways of energy which allow them to become in sync with this force and become empowered by the forces of the universe. The reason this is important is because Aether is fabled in legend to be the force in which the Gods themselves used to forge elements of the universe.

While that isn't exactly true, the reality of the matter is that Aether is a transcendent energy which contains the needed metaphysical minerals to create elements and otherworldly powers. As the particles of Aether Energy infuse numerous constructs from the physical, spiritual and mental universes into their molecules. This is done so that they are able to observe and absorb elements from existence itself and then, in turn, they are able to bestow this prowess to Iramasha.

Hence, this is why Iramasha are able to attune to and modify their powers: as all the resources they need to are already embed into the nature of Aether Energy.

It's simply a matter of honing in on a singular element and devoting ones self towards mastering it and understanding it. That is the hard part of the matter. One does not simply decide one day that they wish to change powers or ascend their current abilities. The Iramasha must study the element they wish to control, endure life experiences which help cultivate their mythical spirit and train their body to the limit in order to induce these changes. It is why meditation and focus are important to the Iramasha; as it helps them to try and alter their universal energy to change "channels" and create a new medium for their powers to thrive in.


Aether Energy Simplified

Simplified Version - Aether Energy exists on a dimension in between all realms in the PH verse. The particles of Aether itself observe phenomena in the universe, absorb this information into their molecules and they turn it into metaphysical minerals. By cultivating and honing into these minerals, the Iramasha can use their body to grow and mold the powers they desire with practice.

Extra Note: Aether is only accessible to the Iramasha to because their body body acts as a bridge between realms and the will of the Iramasha enforces the change they desire.

It was once believed that Iramasha could wield multiple forms of energy. This is why most races often confused them for having "Chaos Energy", "Spiritual Energy", "Nature Energy" and "Holy Energy". However, this is simply not the case after further research and study had been conducted on the structure of the Iramasha body. It was discovered that most Iramasha bodies are capable of forming secondary and tertiary cores of energy which reflect their sub-races or Aether Classes.

From this, they were able to discover that the secondary class seems to be more important than the tertiary class. The reason for this is because they believe Aether Energy itself allots Iramasha attune themselves to the universe, focus on the power they wish to cultivate and grant accessibility to most of their racial traits and abilities. However, it seems that the personified energy itself is the medium which allows for abilities to come to life.

As an illustration, The Iramasha of Flames would most likely have a "Fire Energy" which allows for their heat and fire based abilities to come to life. Through this mechanism of power could bring side effects ranging from the ability to become empowered by extreme temperatures and fire, the capacity to generate fire, thermal resistance and other abilities which are trained and honed in by the Iramasha in question. Thus, as they refine and enrich this energy, the more they are able to harvest and birth more extreme abilities for themselves.


Personified Energy Simplified

Personified Energy Simplified: Personified Energy is simply excess energy that the Iramasha can use to help their stamina in combat. The primary source of personified energy is Aether Energy by default. When they become attuned to their powers, they can sometimes develop two, three, four or even up to five separate sources of energy depending on their Aether Control racial skill. They can also sometimes be considered the medium for which their special abilities are enforced through.

Aether Classes is the nature which your Iramasha's powers take on. While it isn't forced, most Iramasha who are able to come up with a namesake often find themselves becoming further one with their powers. This then leads to more self-discovery, and, in turn, progression of their powers to form more complex abilities. The reason for this is because it is similar to the way in which most practitioners of kido receive enhancements from incantations. Once they give life to their construct through naming it, it is often sealed to their spirit and it cultivates itself into a stronger force because of that bond made.

Furthermore, it is important to have an Aether Class, as without it, most Iramasha are not eligible for release forms. The reason for this is because the Aether which compromises and flows in and around the Iramasha must have source of concept to identify. This is done through the ritual of labeling their namesake and bonding it to them. Without that seal, there is simply nothing for the Aether to hone in and thus -- it has nothing to evolve.

This doesn't limit them from attempting to experiment with their bodies to form alternatives, but it won't give them a traditional release.

Aether Classes Simplified

Simplified: The easiest way to remember Aether Classes is that they are your Iramasha's primary power. It has a namesake, and this namesake gives it enhanced power and allows them to have their release forms as it makes a seal in their body which allows them their ascended states.

Sub-Aether Classes: Sub-Aether Classes are different from main Aether Classes. The reason being is because these are powers, YES, but they are directly related to the spectrum in which The Main Aether Class is rooted in. So, for my own example, Cirno is The Angel of The Ice since she is apart of the angelic branch of Iramasha. Her primary Aether Class is a merged one deals with Winter and Holy based powers. Focusing solely on her Winter element, she was able to make sub-classes of Ice, Wind and Cold control based on the range her Aether Class covered.

Thus, the incorrect way to create Aether-Classes would most likely be to create sub-powers which are unrelated to the primary Aether Class. For example, it would make absolutely zero sense for a Fire Aether to somehow begin using ice or lightning related abilities/powers with their Sub-Class. It would make more sense for that Aether Class to have heat, lava or anything that pertains to extremely hot or destructive/burning elements.

Summed up: Sub-Aether Classes are just additional powers that an Iramasha can learn as their Aether Control becomes more powerful. These powers are in DIRECT or SEMI-DIRECT relation to their Aether Class.

Merged Aether Classes: Merged Classes deal with Iramasha whose powers are a combinations of elements. More often than not, most sub-races will have Merged Classes. For instance, most Angel Iramasha's Aether will have "Angel Of The -Element/Construct/Theme-" in them. With this namesake, they will have their genetically passed down trait of holy/light elements bestowed upon them along with whatever unique element is individualized to them. So, for my example, Cirno's name is "The Angel Of The Ice". Her merged element takes properties from holy/angelic constructs and merges them with winter based elements to become an Angel of The Ice. So she would have powers pertaining to snow, ice, wind and holy constructs with her profile.

Summed Up: Merged Aether Classes are just infused elements which allow for a broader spectrum of power for the Iramasha. This is primarily associated with Iramasha Sub-races as opposed to the General Iramasha.

Multi-Aether Class

Multi-Aether Class: This is something that is exclusively found within Hybrid Iramasha. Multi-Aether Class Iramasha are Iramasha who were able to form multiple separate Aether Classes. This is different from Sub-Aether Classes because these are often considered two separate power sets. Whereas Sub-Aether Classes take powers DIRECTLY from the spectrum in which the main Aether Class covers, Multi-Aether Class Users are able to forge and create separate classes.

An example of a hybrid could be an Angel and Devil Iramasha who had a kid. As you know, both Angel and Devil Iramasha have predefined Merged Classes the deal with light and dark constructs. So, this child could become a Multi-Class Iramasha (and Hybrid Iramasha by proxy) by being born with both of these elements already infused into his being. While, at the same, he'd hold the potential to form his own personalized element to add to the mix. (i.e. wielding limited Angel/Devil prowess alongside an elemental prowess such as fire or vibration control)

They would have separate namesakes for their Multiple Aether Classes as well. So, in the example above, it would go as followed:

"The Root Of Devilkind" would be his namesake for his Devil Iramasha powers.

While "The Core Of Light" could take root to his other parents angelic prowess.

Then "The Essence Of Vibration" could be his own unique power if he should so choose to develop one.

It isn't restricted to just angel/devil hybrids, as they can also come in the form of multiple elements. Such an illustration would be having a hybrid of Kinetic Manipulation and Mass Manipulation being used at once. The primary thing to remember for multiple Aether Classes is that they should still have a loose form of relation with one another.

Angel/Devils are loosely related because they the opposites of each, kinetic/mass manipulation are loosely related as these are scientific constructs that make-up the universe. You need to have the capacity to explain how these multiple elements come together to make a theme for your character when making a hybrid Iramasha.

Summed Up: Multi-Aether Classes are separate powersets that Hybrid Iramasha can unlock. These are often given to them at birth because of a genetic mutation in their body which is passed down by their parents. Because of this, they can often form 2-4 Aether Classes and they must be in loose relation to each other in order to work. Multi-Aether Classes are often difficult to manage, unstable and take effort to manage due to this nature.

Having said that, it is important to note that the Iramasha can expand into many different sub-races. The reason for this is because there is a vast nature of elements, themes, emotions, constructs and so on which make-up the universe and gives it life. Therefore, it is said that there are countless sub-species of Iramasha, but we will only reflect on what is the most saturated pool: Angel, Devil, Hybrid and Nature Iramasha.

The reason why these sub-races exist is because it is possible for royal, rare and strong bloodlines to form which allow for certain traits to be passed on from generation to generation. This is NOT enforced for ALL Iramasha, as you do NOT have to force them to undergo this. However, for those interested, it goes as followed:

Angel Iramasha: This sub-race class of Iramasha often has Aether proprieties which reflect holy, positive and otherwise "heavenly" elements when they are born. Otherwise referred to as "The Light", Angel Iramasha often have Aether Classes which compromise of purification, prowess which empower the constructs of angel's (obviously) and other such powers and personality traits that mimic "divinity".

Devil Iramasha: Inverse from Angel Iramasha are "Devil Iramasha". They are considered a cousin of demons and thrive off of "Nether Energy" as opposed to Aether. Nether energy is considered the root of all things degenerative, destructive and negative. These can range from classes of Aether which encompass elements pertaining to poisons, darkness, death-forces (and consequently, Death Energy is common in the Royal Families of Devil Iramasha) and otherwise decaying or negative forces in the universe.

Nature Iramasha: Nature Iramasha are considered a class of Iramasha that are often rooted in having Aether Classes which reflect elements of nature. These range from water, lightning, fire, ice, rock and other traditional elements of the known universe.

Hybrid Iramasha: Hybrid Iramasha is a coin termed for an Iramasha who is capable of having more than one Aether Class. This means that they have either infused elements, or they have separate elements in which they are able to mix and merge as they choose. However, unlike most other races of Iramasha, Hybrid's are often more unstable and difficult control due to the complications which arise from fusing Aether Classes. It is why they are more rare in number and thus require more effort to create.

These are all BRIEF descriptions. There will be sections later on which expand upon these summaries and go in depth into them.

Iramasha Sub-Races Simplified

Iramasha Sub-Races Simplified: Since there are many different compounds that make up the universe which Aether takes power from, the amount of Iramasha Sub-races is vast and almost infinite. And due to the population of Iramasha, the Aether Classes of more powerful lineages can be passed down from generation to generation until their genes mutate and they form their own sub-race. There could be many sub-races that are attuned to material or spiritual constructs. The Nature Iramasha represent elemental compounds, Angel Iramasha angelic/light themes, Devil Iramasha negative/destructive elements and so on and so forth.

Heaven: It is possible for Angel Iramasha to have their spirits tethered to the heaven realm when they pass on. This is due to their obvious affiliation to the holy element. However, there is also a chance to tamper with the death cycle of an Angel Iramasha by external influence. Such as if a powerful demon managed to send them to hell or something to that effect.

Hell: Obviously, in contrast, it's possible for most Devil Iramasha to be sent for hell. But, like their angel counterparts, there is also the opportunity for them to die of other methods and pass on. Such as if an Angel Iramasha killed them, cleansed their spirit and sent them to heaven. It's also equally possible for them to be reincarnated just as well.

Reincarnation: This is probably one of the more common things that occur with Iramasha. It is possible for Iramasha to set their spirits up to reincarnate into new Iramasha upon their death. This sort of thing occurred when the former Angel of The Ice was on the brink of death and passed down her prowess to Cirno Iramashsa; the New Angel of The Ice.

Return To Their Element: This is in reference to the primary Aether Class they attuned themselves in life. It is possible for their body to simple break down, become pure Aether and their body could return to the essence of their power. For instance, it would be possible for a Fire Aether to become one with the element of fire upon death. Such as infusing himself into an eternal inferno or something to that effect. Some Iramasha have even opt'd to break themselves into the element of Aether itself and spread their power down through generations of Iramasha.

Aether Armament: Sometimes referred to as "Aether Arma", Aether Armament is considered to be a weapon forged when an Iramasha has a strong understanding of their Aether. They can begin to materialize a spiritual weapon equal to a Zanpukto at around the adept stage of their Aether Control. Although, it will have great limitations until they reach advanced Aether Control.

Digressing, Aether Armament is meant to be a weapon which reflects all they've attuned their Aether Class to be. Therefore, it is mostly limited to what their energy can produce. As Aether Arma's have been known to range from small objects, weapons, companions and even small pocket dimensions in some cases. It's really up to the owner to create a balanced system on how their Aether Arma operates and one which is related to their Aether Class.

For example: It would be possible for a Water Aether Class Iramasha to create an Aether Arma which takes the form of a box and stores high volumes of water for when they are in regions where water is sacred, or if they want to have an additional source of water to use when a battle get rough. Or a more powerful Iramasha could create a small realm of fire around a twenty meter radius in order to encase an opponent within their world of flames and heat; having multiple flame based waves, arrows, bullets and other heat or fire related projectiles come at them.

It's mostly up to your imagination and how well you can craft a weapon. So it takes intense study and most Iramashsa spend many weeks, months or even years thinking out their Aether Class so that they can properly materialize it into the world. As it's a very sacred and important weapon to them and they want to take the time to make it right.

Aether Mind: Only Iramasha are able to otherwise communicate with Aether Energy due to the composition of their ethereal bodies. Because of this, they are often able to form their own networks of telepathic communication with one another. These can be small or vast depending on the way in which they are maintained, created or used for. Often times they are used in mass because it is their way of transferring knowledge, information and feeling through secure and closed means of networks. And because of the low energy it takes, most Iramasha can use Aether Mind so long as they are conscious.

However, the more vast it becomes, the more strain it is to maintain. Imagine attempting to host thousands upon thousands of conversations, transferals and meetings on one network. It can add up and it'll add up fast. Therefore, most often leave some form of object or energy to help manage the many different connections coming through. Such as creating an Aether Stone to help process the information on the network, or investing in a special powers to help maintain larger networks. Others tend to just be more selective in the people who are allowed into their group. As many Iramasha can create their own specialized networks with people of their choosing.

So that means Iramasha can also open this to outsiders of the Iramasha, but they must create trace amounts of Aether Energy that are synced to the person in order to allow them into their networks. These can be transferred physically, or shared through the mind by teleporation if they are able to sense the person in which they want to communicate with.

Longevity & Appearance: One hundred years compares to one human year for most Iramasha. Therefore, it takes quite awhile for them to really reach their peak. And, even then, some of the more powerful ones often have increased lifespans beyond that. As, it is quite possible for Iramasha to live upwards of hundreds of thousands of years if the conditions are met and they aren't killed in combat. The same can be said of how they maintain their appearance with their Aether. As, while some can age, others choose to use their Aether to maintain their vitality and youthful looks.

Aether Merge: Aether Merge is the ability which allows most Iramasha to merge with one another if need be. They can perform this ritual by merging their Aether together in order form a fused being. However, it is limited to only two people at a time.

Additionally, it cannot be forced as the meeting as to be mutual. As their personalities, powers and skills will often combine as well. It is also considered an extreme act of trust, compassion, openness, and sometimes, Romanticism when an Iramasha is able perform Aether Merge because of how intimate the connection must be.

Furthermore, the combined being will a Merged Aether Class and will often take the tier of the more dominant host. There is no known time limit to the fusion, but it is possible to make them separate by injuring them to the point of submission.
