A Soul in Xevv is a type of [[Metaphysical Energy|concepts/magic]] capable of
|
|
storage. Generally, a Soul stores things such as memories, personality, and
|
|
knowledge. They are always bound to a body until they die or become
|
|
[[Immortal|concepts/immortality]]. All living beings, planets, stars and other
|
|
celestial bodies have Souls, though most use them to store different (or no)
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
# Origin
|
|
|
|
Souls were created by the God [[chars/athena]] in the beginning of the second
|
|
universe, after the first was naught but featureless clay and gas. They were
|
|
created just to store unique information of every object in the universe, but
|
|
ended up offering far more complexity than intended. As such, rules for them
|
|
were quickly established (before the concept of death was created) by
|
|
[[chars/thoth]].
|
|
|
|
# Unlinking
|
|
|
|
Souls are mediated by the God Thoth, who sees that they pass from Reality to
|
|
[[Flux|concepts/pathways]] properly. Thoth is incapable of error, having
|
|
created this system, and so no error in the process has or ever will occur, as
|
|
long as [[dims/heaven]] still exists.
|
|
|
|
Thoth does not oversee Souls which have exited Reality abnormally (ie.
|
|
Immortals.)
|
|
|
|
# Death
|
|
|
|
Death is defined by the moment a Soul detaches from its body, which can happen
|
|
for a multitude of reasons dependant mainly on the body. When a body dies, it
|
|
releases a significant amount of Metaphysical Energy relative to the size and
|
|
complexity of the body, as well as the complexity of the Soul's contents.
|
|
|
|
# Binding Errata
|
|
|
|
On extremely rare occasions, the binding of a Soul to a body can erroneously
|
|
extend to inanimate objects. This creates a *Soul Gem* which may be used to
|
|
[[bind multiple souls to one body|chars/deceiver]], a phenomenon only
|
|
discovered in the [[Deceiver Universe|dims/deceiver]].
