Once upon a time, as some would say, there existed a Land of Divines, where we Divines lived in community and peace. Divines were created and ruled by the Pillar Paragons alongside other Paragons who were responsible for creating what they were named. The Paragon of Life and Order, Dove Reryer, ruled above them and over all of us as our "god", as he was responsible for creating souls, which gave us the most important thing of all.. Life.There was harmony in the Lands for many eons as many generations of Divines grew and learned more about themselves and where we came from. In that time, the Reryer had time to create new life ― Humans, a version of Divines without the capability to use the magic attached to their soul.Everything continued in peace, until one day, one of the Pillar Paragons began behaving strangely. Cerys Zhevexay, the Paragon of Love and Emotion, began to deeply resent life and everything that it stood for. Her plan she pitched to the other Pillars was erasing all life and beginning anew, since this life that the Reryer had created was evil.She was refused.This lead the Zhevexay to take matters into her own hands, slaughtering her fellow pillars and most importantly, Dove Reryer, though unable to destroy their souls. Following those murders she went on a genocide of all the Divines and Paragons of the Land of Divines, destroying their souls in the process. The one pillar the Zhevexay could not slaughter was the Cinezphine, Paragon of Time and Universes, as without him to create time the universe would cease to exist.I urge You before I am slain, he who reads this. You must seek out the Reryer's incarnate and keep them safe from the Zhevexay . It is up to You to find those who will help You. Fate shall always guide You wherever You need to be.Save us.― Nuntius Savion

Page 1 of the Dovetail Prophecy.


Dovetail: Prophecy follows a boy "named" Gizmo Cecil in the fictional province in Canada, Staindawa 2032, and his pursuit of the reincarnate of the Reryer. Ever since he lost his memory of himself as a child, the only thing Gizmo has never forgotten is his role. He must seek out "those who can help him" as Savion said, and find out how to locate the Reryer at all costs, as it’s simply what he was born to do.Unfortunately for him, he is far from the only one looking as the Zhevexay is hot on his heels. She herself has been waiting for the Reryer to reincarnate so she can kill him, though unfortunately it's not that easy for her. She is incapable of finding out who the Reryer is herself until he comes to her directly, so she has reprioritized her tasks from finding the Reryer, to finding the weak points of those who want to find him as well. After all, nobody knows Emotions and Love as much as the Paragon of it herself.

THE DOVETAIL PROPHECY


The Dovetail Prophecy, also known as just The Prophecy, are the people who were fated to assist in protecting the Reryer's Incarnate and stop the Zhevexay. They were all fated to meet one another no matter what, however Gizmo had vague hints to who each person could be from his Prophecy Book. These were given to him in the form of "titles" ― a short one word description of the person and what they revolve around most. These titles were The Bookholder (Gizmo), The Gemini, The Bereaved, The Defiant, The Ostensible, and The Vengeful. The purpose of these titles was not only so Gizmo could know who he was meant to be with and who he was not, but also so he could figure out the nature of each person to better either guide or get to know them.While this is almost all Gizmo has been given by the Prophecy Book in terms of the actual Prophecy, he has still done his best to relay it to the other chosen ones and try to ensure they take things as seriously as him.

SANCTUARY OF THE NEW


Sanctuary of the New, also known as the Sanctuary, is a place of recovery and refuge created by the Zhevexay herself, now just going by her first name ― Cerys. Cerys has gathered those closest to the members of the Prophecy and shielded them from the horrors of their previous lives when they were all on the verge of death. All except one of course, the reincarnate of the Arjahanikabek, Pillar Paragon of Chaos and Death. She kept these members safe in her own realm for a grand total of 588 days, without letting them have contact with one another. She let them train, eat, sleep, recover, and live in the Sanctuary for seemingly nothing in return.Now, a year and nearly 3 quarters later, Cerys enlists their help with finding and killing the Reryer, sharing with them that they will get to destroy those who destroyed them in the process. Each member, feeling indebted to Cerys for saving their lives and taking care of them, agrees to help her with her mission, even if some less willing than the others.

MALEHE / HIMHUMAN18JANUARY 1ST5’7


Gizmo is one of the most determined people you’d ever meet. For as long as he can remember, he has dedicated himself and his life fully to being the Bookholder of the Prophecy. Everywhere he goes, whether it’s school or public, he seeks to tell everyone around him as much as he possibly can about magic and Divine history. Not only does he find it enjoyable to talk about, but he simply thinks it’s in their own best interest to be educated on such matters.
Gizmo is autistic and has a hard time communicating with those around him, not much helped by his disinterest in personal relationships over study. He’s only ever well mannered and polite in his own eyes, though on occasion he can make remarks that can be seen as passive-aggressive or straight up rude to the receiver of them. He doesn’t understand how to “sugarcoat” things or tell people what they want to hear — some may call it overly blunt. He excels most in conversation when talking about his own interests, as that’s his area of expertise.On top of his social issues, Gizmo has a large bit of paranoia surrounding his memory. He cannot remember nearly anything about his life before adoption and lives life paranoid he has some sort of memory loss. To combat this, he carries with him a polaroid camera and his notebook to take notes of “important things” he doesn’t want to forget — he notes down places he visits often, people he speaks to more than twice or may be important to him, and takes pictures of them.In spite of his struggles, Gizmo is the most capable leader for the Prophecy and takes his role very seriously. He does the best he can.

LYRIC ACOSTA

MALEHE / HIMHUMAN18JUNE 28TH6'1





Lyric is your average hype man friend! He radiates postivity everywhere he goes, making friends with whoever he may come across. He has an incessant need to constantly check up on everyone he knows to make sure they're at the best mood they can be. He's bubbly, passionate and perhaps a little daft at times. He seems to let a lot of things go over his head and fails often to catch implications or sarcasm.
As a fashion major, Lyric has always held fashion and self image in high regard. He's always admired those who take the time to "doll up" and dress up to the fullest. Taking into consideration him appearing almost entirely female, Lyric has found entertainment and passion in dressing up in feminine clothing, because he thinks it's cuter and suits him better. He will often spontaneously critique the outfits of those around him and give them tips or things he thinks would suit them.Though he appears rather dumb and clueless, Lyric appears to actually be quite intelligent when he applies himself. It's quite often he will catch onto things that others don't, or comes up with a genius plan on the spot. Nobody really knows how someone so thick headed could do such a thing.

UNMEI CHUUYOU

MALEHE / HIMDIVINE18NOVEMBER 23RD6'0





Unmei is a highly reserved individual to an extreme extent. He is nearly terrified of his own shadow and dislikes to even set half a foot outside his house. He doesn't typically speak without being spoken to, and spends an awful amount of time staring off into the void, in his own head. When you break through his shell Unmei becomes rather thoughtful and does his best to extend his affection by sharing and teaching things he knows.
Unmei was highly trained in Magic ever since he was 10 years old by his father, to which that role was soon taken over by his teacher, Borealis. She taught him and his best friend, Ravolenai.Unmei and Ravolenai were both part of what is called the Dual Prophecy, where one soul bent fate and entered two bodies instead of one. This gave one of the bodies, the Ivory half, powerful Creation Artistry and weaker Destruction Artistry, and the other, the Noir half, powerful Destruction Artistry and weaker Creation Artistry. These two bodies are affected by Fate significantly more than regular people, and were quite literally made to be together.Unmei is the Ivory half and Ravolenai was the Noir half. However, Unmei doesn't know what happened to Ravolenai..Unmei doesn't prefer getting close with people after his loss. This is why he avoids talking to people.

OWEN WENDOLYN

TRANSMALEHE / HIMHUMAN18OCTOBER 29TH5'9




Owen is highly short tempered and gets annoyed with nearly anyone who talks to him. As to why this is, well he has no idea if that person was a crazy fan or paparazzi of some kind. Whether he's going out with his friends or just to the corner store, he gets stopped nearly constantly in his tracks and asked beyond intrusive questions. This caused him to just shove anyone who approached him in public away, better safe than sorry.
Owen's parents are the owners behind the massive fashion brand Wystedolyn. In public appearances they are delightfully eccentric people obsessed with Wysteria plants, but Owen knows better. He's been forced to model for them straight out of the womb — he's convinced they had him to sell baby clothes — and portrayed as this heartthrob girl that every teenage boy should faun over. Not only did Owen despise being a model, but he grew to find out he despised being a girl even more than that.Owen's true passions align more with travel and seeing the world, which is particularly unfortunate since he can barely step out of the house without being harassed. All he wishes for is that one day he will be able to do what he pleases when he pleases.

VROSKI ASHIN

MALEHE / HIMDIVINE18JULY 16TH6'0




Vroski is a highly eccentric boy who makes his pressence in every room he's in more than known. He will make sure everyone acknowledges him and he's the center of attention in anything he does. He thrives in social situations and will actively egg on people to participate who are quiet and haven't spoken. He loves people who are outspoken and loud just like him.
Growing up as a Divine, Vroski always had a natural curiosity of Humans that he indulges in even to this day. He loves to learn about people and learn as much as he can so he can see what Humans and their culture are really like. He ended up growing up and wanting to spend all his time around them, and so he practically did, leaving his sore life behind.While Vroski does a lot of talking, what he doesn't really talk about is himself, barely ever. This is of course partially due to his identity as a Divine, but he will barely ever answer about even how his day was, how he's feeling, anything. He doesn't need nor want people he's close to to know anything about himself even if they know he's a Divine.They don't need to know about his Dad.They don't need to know about Gizmo.

✦ Vroski wears so many belts because he likes the style, but also thinks it makes him look appealing.
✦ Vroski used to think that TV shows were portals made by magic.
✦ Since he is Russian, Vroski learned how to speak Russian almost entirely off a singular library book he borrowed.

SONNET ACOSTA

FEMALESHE/HERHUMAN19SEPTEMBER 9TH5'9




Sonnet tends to come off strong when you first meet her. Her moral compass is incredibly high, and she's not ashamed to speak up when she feels like something is wrong or unjust, even if it's little. She takes it upon herself to make sure Whitmaid Academia is the safest it can possibly be, free from jerks or other such nuisances.
Sonnet is very overprotective of those she's close to, especially her younger brother, Lyric. Her instinct at heart is to shelter him and keep him close, and worry sick when he inevitably wanders off on his own. Since neither of their parents were around growing up, she took the responsibility of taking care of him, and it transfered into her adult life and how she treats people.The one rule exempt from this however is Divines. Sonnet absolutely despises Divines and sees them as nothing but a safety risk. Magic is unpredictable, and because of that it puts a lot of people in danger. This is why she takes on the role of trying to "spot" Divines and note them down, so she can keep an eye on them and protect people.She only wants to stop people from losing the same things she has to Divines.

CERYS ZHEVEXAY

FEMALESHE/HERPARAGON??FEBRUARY 14TH6'8




Cerys Zhevexay is the renowned Pillar Paragon of Love and Emotions herself, in the flesh. After feeling betrayed by those she has given her gifts of emotion to, she has decided to take matters of eradicating life itself into her own hands. She has grown to care not at all about those she was previously so hurt by, seeing them more as disgusting wastes of love than beautiful people. She resents the Reryer the same as them for creating such horrible things.
Cerys was once a Paragon loved by all and admired by many, as without her they wouldn't even have the ability to think so. She was always so kind, beautiful and graceful, but that has now become a weapon against them. Nobody knows how emotions work better than she who created them, and she is using her deep understanding on love and emotions to puppeteer the rest of her Sanctuary.If Cerys takes people who have been broken hearted, on the verge of death and desperate for anything.. they will do her bidding without much thought. Especially the longer she keeps them there and the more she gives them to feel indebted for.Humans and Divines are creatures of empathy and compassion. Using their own tactics against them would make her seem like she possessed either of those things in the first place.

RAVOLENAI ENITE

MALEHE/HIMDIVINE18NOVEMBER 23RD6'0




Ravolenai, also known as Vole, is the second in command of the Sanctuary. He is stern, cold and impersonal, preferring as little contact with his colleagues as possible. Any attempt to touch or speak to him will more than likely result in yelling on his end, though there are a few exceptions to this. As time has went by and he's become more accustomed to his Sanctuary members, he allows small conversations to be had. He has also taken on the role of mentoring Ness and teaching her to use her magic.
Vole used to be a kindhearted boy, passionate and rambunctious at times. His energy was constantly through the roof and positivity radiated off him at all times, even if he wasn't allowed to see the real world because he was a Divine, living with his Ivory half of the Dual Prophecy, Unmei.Vole and Unmei were both part of the Dual Prophecy, where one soul bent fate and entered two bodies instead of one. This gave one of the bodies, the Noir half (Vole), powerful Destruction Artistry and weaker Creation Artistry, and the other half, the Ivory half (Unmei), powerful Creation Artistry and weaker Destruction Artistry. These two bodies are affected by Fate significantly more than regular people, as they were made to be together.However, that was all in the past now. Ever since he was attacked, he has never been the same. He will never be the same.

Whirl is the reincarnate of the Pillar Paragon of Chaos and Death, Tonyonaujo Arjahanikabek. While he didn't know this for most of his life, now that he's learned this it has become all that he is. Whirl is a puppeteer, a preformance artist, a jester, and a God all at once. He lives for the attention of other people whether it's worshipping him or fearing him. As long as their reaction is fun and entertaining, Whirl doesn't care. It's all part of the preformance life.
Whirl grew up being ostracized and alienated from his peers, treated like a circus attraction himself. Kids laughed at him for his love of puppets and strange behavior, anything they could get their hands on. Little did they know, Whirl was thriving off their hate.The more they made fun of him, the more attention he was gathering and more chance for him to preform. Why would he ever want to blend in with everyone else? He was a star, and attention should be brought to him as such!After learning he was the Paragon of Chaos and Death, Whirl believed himself to be a monster. It was then he decided to commit to being a monster, whether it was making children cry or killing groups of people at once. He needed to feel alive. He needed to be seen.He needed to preform.

She believes she is doing a good thing by keeping Lyric safe, and showing how much she loves him to him.All it took for Valentine to fall this in love with Lyric was him being kind to her.

MILU NAYA

FEMALESHE/HERDIVINE18OCTOBER 3RD6'0



Milu is a kind-hearted inventor who cares about others around her with a full heart. She is considerate and strangely thoughtful, being able to pick up on small things and cues from people that nod to their character or things they enjoy. She's a calm person but not a pushover and will gladly speak up for herself or others if they need her. Though underneath her confidence in herself, she does her best to hide the "scary" parts of herself that make her look more like a Divine.
Milu is purely self taught. From a young age she enjoyed sticking things together and seeing if and how they'd work, and that evolved into inventing gadgets and weaponry at just 13. She never learned to read English, only speaking it, so she also 'invented' her own code of symbols and patterns to label her inventions with, correlating them to English words. Inventing made her feel like she was smart despite not knowing about human things or what they do in a pre-dominately human world. It was her way to feel connected to them as well.Milu wasn't conditioned like most Divines to be afraid of humans. She knew to keep her distance from public areas, but never feared them. In her eyes, humans weren't different enough from Divines to be afraid of them, they were essentially just weaker versions of Divines. She invented things because she wanted to show humans not to be afraid of Divines, that they could do good and above all good for them.She never wanted to hurt any of them. Ever.

LUMINESS ASHIN

TRANS FEMALESHE/HERDIVINE18JULY 16TH5'9




Luminess, also known as Lumi or Ness, is a timid girl who's less sure of herself than anyone else could ever be. She finds herself conflicted with her stance in the Sanctuary, feeling that she's taking an inherently evil position. Cerys and the people around her certainly don't seem evil, though, since they saved and welcomed her without a doubt. Even if she can appear burdensome to them with her overwhelming fear, they still do their best to reassure her. She's slowly gaining her footing, but nowhere near the level she had before her brother left her.
Ness ended up getting completely ignored by she and Vroski's father more often than not, but when he did pay attention to her, it was to make fun of her for not being 'man enough'. That she was a sore excuse for one, and a coward. Vroski would always be the one to take the worst from him, and comfort Ness at the same time. He would listen to her cry about the things he said, cry about her wanting to be a girl, anything. He was her safe space.Ness trusted Vroski with her life and the two were inseperable. She would've never thought in a thousand years he would leave her behind to die. Though he did, and now the Sanctuary are protecting her, and Ravolenai is mentoring her so she'll never be left defenseless again.

MAGIC


Magic is one of the most integral parts of Divines as beings. Whether it's in use of Artistry or having their Souls made up of magic with magic attached to it, magic defines Divines.
It is also what defines the difference between Humans and Divines.
There are many common terms used in Dovetail that are associated with magic, and it's important to learn and remember the meaning of each one. Especially when it's something that the entire world of Dovetail revolves around ― Fate.






SOULS AND REINCARNATION


Every living being has a soul.A soul is a ball of light where magic is stored and spread throughout the body through the eyes. Thanks to souls, eyes play their part in a Divine by giving them a source of magic to conduct from, but they also play a key part in identifying a person in the body. A body only has one soul as a body only has one consciousness by default, but that is not to say there hasn’t been instances of soul swapping or merging. In this case, the easiest way to tell would be different eyes.A soul is not only for magic, but it is also attached to the brain. What makes humans unable to use magic over Divines is Divines have an extra piece of their brain where the soul is that communicates with the rest of the Divine’s body, namely the eyes, to source and conduct magic. Though in both species, the soul is situated partially within the frontal lobe and a soul is connected to the brain of a body. This means that information stored in the brain, such as memories, identity, physical and mental skills are attached to the soul. The only instance to remove this information from a soul is during soul death, which occurs when the brain of a body dies.When a soul dies, that means the body is permanently without life until it is a given a new soul, or it decomposes. After 24 hours of soul death, the soul will return to Limbo and enter a stasis of 8-9 months before being reincarnated again. The purpose of this stasis is removing the aforementioned traits and memories from the soul in order for it to become a new person. The only exception to this is Paragon souls, who take an additional year to reincarnate, so anywhere from 1 year and 8 months to 1 year and 9 months. Their souls are much stronger and handle magic in a different way than regular Divines, and they live significantly longer, so it takes a much longer time to refresh their souls.A soul cannot be destroyed under any circumstance unless it is done by a Pillar themselves. However, absolutely nobody is capable of creating new souls other than the Reryer. Souls will infinitely reincarnate alongside whatever new souls are made by the Reryer. Unless of course.. they are destroyed.




PATHS OF THE PILLARS


When it comes to Fate in souls, there can be a particular pattern that the events of their lives will follow.When the Reryer created Fate, he took into consideration he and his fellow Pillars and the way that they ruled the Land. Thus, he made Fate and Divines by extension function on Pillar Paths, or just "paths". Paths are a certain type of way that Fate will play out, and for Divines, it can even contribute to abilities and physical appearance, and change when a soul reincarnates. There are four paths for each Pillar ― The Path of Order, the Path of Chaos, the Path of Time, and the Path of Emotion. Each Path is not a concrete guarantee that the people who follow them will fully qualify or perfectly allign with them, but it moreso affects their overall lifetime.The Path of Order individuals tend to live a lifetime of discipline and reward. They are the most commited to whatever is special in their life, moreso than other paths, and generally live a life that is dedicated. They can be dedicated to a person or they can be dedicated to a role, but it will always remain dear to them. Path of Orders, though, usually live a rather antisocial life with the exception of a very close and small circle. Abilities of Path of Orders tend to lean towards altruism and benefit, but on occasion can also be the most blunt of abilities. The physical path traits exhibited in Divines involve wings and glowing features. Path of Orders also have the most potential when it comes to use of magic.The Path of Chaos is one of the more unforgiving paths, as it tends to come with a lifetime of havoc. Path of Chaos lifetime's usually involve a greater contrast within oneself and a struggle to find yourself. There is also a degree of being preformative that can dictate a Path of Chaos's behavior. However, they are much more intimate than the other paths when it comes to interpersonal relationships ― they are protective by nature. Abilities of Path of Chaos are the most destructive and violent, unsurprising for a path paired with death, but they also revolve around enhancing oneself on occasion. Path of Chaos Divines usually exhibit the features of an animal, but it's not exactly guaranteed. They are also generally asymmetrical in appearance. Path of Chaos Divines also only fall in love once, maximum twice, and stay in love for a lifetime.The Path of Time lifetime is the most objective path of them all, as it revolves almost entirely around time. Whether it's spending their lives waiting for something, or spending their lives dreading the past, their lives are usually dictated by events and time periods. They spend a lot of time thinking and tend to be more creative than the other paths, but also more prone to muting emotions or vulnerability. It's not uncommon for a Path of Time to feel trapped within themselves wanting to be so much more. Path of Time abilities specialize around evasive abilities and transport, but mental abilities are also common. Divines who are Path of Time usually exhibit perpendicular pointed features, and tend to take on a more "man made" appearance by having plates and textures.Lastly, The Path of Emotion is the most unpredictable path, much like emotions themselves can be. Path of Emotions usually live their lives with one emotion of theirs amplified more than the rest and commonly upon them. They are also the paths that get most attached, as every Path of Emotion will have something they hold dearest, a person and a thing. They will fixate on both these things or use it to aid them through their lives full of turbulation and unpredictability. Though their lives are almost always guaranteed to be cruel.. much like the Pillar the Path is based on. In the same vein, the abilities of the Path of Emotion tend to be rather violent in nature, but they can be a pretty mixed bag. Most typical is their abilities revolve around the thing they hold most dear. This is the same for the traits Divine exhibit, with it being that same thing. For both abilities and the appearance, the person they hold most dear cannot factor in.While things like the abilities most common in paths and the physical traits they exhibit can be shared across paths on offchance with things like asymmetry and pointed edges, each path makes a person truly unique. Humans are largely unaffected by paths with the exception of it affecting fate, but paths can dictate what kind of Divine a Divine even is.




FATE


The world in Dovetail revolves around the concept of Fate. Every person, every decision made, every relationship created, people lost, tragedies struck, and blessings given.. everything is predetermined.
Everything is decided by Fate.
Fate is attached to a soul when it is created. As relayed before, Fate is essentially a destiny. It operates under the basis of everything that should happen will happen, and everything that shouldn't will not. Fate is not something that can be broken under any circumstances. What is said to happen in your Fate will always happen, even if you try to avoid it. If your Fate says you will die in a car crash on the way to work, if you try to walk to work instead, a car will swerve and hit you. If you are to stay home, something will lure you outside and you will not be able to resist your temptations towards it. What is meant to happen will always happen.When it comes to the reincarnation of souls and new lifetimes alongside it, Fate can change alongside lifetimes while it is undergoing the stasis of reincarnation. This is because certain conditions of the soul's fate may not meet up with conditions of the new lifetime given to the soul. Though generally, Fate will change overtime mildly on it's own since a lifetime will not always have the same path attached to it.Certain souls can become fate-bonded. This means that two souls end up connected by their Fate and will always be destined to meet and follow their shared Fates. An example of fate-bonding is the Dovetail Prophecy, as they are all destined to meet one another and follow through with the Prophecy. These fate-bonded souls will typically reincarnate into different lifetimes together, for example two friends reincarnating together into siblings or, depending on deaths, parent and child, the possibilites are endless.Fate has always had attempts made on it by people all around the universe to break it, but the only people who have gotten anywhere with it are immensely powerful beings and the Reryer, who created it, and barely abides by Fate himself. There are special exceptions that can be made to "breaking" fate, but even this is not a permanent solution. Elements of Fate can be tampered with to end up with a different result ― if someone was meant to be saved from a fire, but all the people who could possibly save them were out of the equation, that person would not be saved. Though they would not die ― it would not be their time no matter what ― that moment in their Fate would be forever changed.Of course, doing something like this would require you to know the Fate of things in advance.
Who knows how that could be done?




ARTISTRY AND ABILITIES


Magic and it's pre-determined kinds were created as a gift to Divines from the Reryer. He created them so they had a connection to him and so they all had something they could practice and do together: Artistry.
His main reason for creating magic, though, was so they had something to make their lives easier. It would be very difficult to build a land from the ground up without any help, so that was his way to offer them assistance.
In those very early times, it was incredibly frowned upon for artistry to be used as a weapon. At worst, it could be used for hunting, or sparring. It was seen as sin to use it to harm another, but of course, that didn't last for long. Eventually wars broke out, and people with ill intent who didn't care for the rules became more common. Eventually it was embraced that, while not preferred, artistry could and sometimes had to be used as a weapon or at least to protect oneself. So their tools and societies were adjusted to be more accommodating to figure out how to do such things. People eventually invented creative ways to utilize magic, like infusing weapons with different artistries to make them do more damage, or even infusing body parts with artistry for a similar cause.Then evolution occurred, and abilities came with it.While abilities were not intentionally created by the Reryer, he saw it as a blessing and welcomed change regardless. Abilities came from genetic mutations that were passed down to offspring with Divines using artistry that they were not born with with the help of things like Host Objects, and eventually Abilities were bred permanently into the species of Divines. However, there was a short period where Abilities were frowned upon as well since they were using magic that was not created by the Reryer and instead by disobedience, and since they didn't fit into the pre-existing types of artistry, they were seen as inpure. Though of course just like violence in magic, they were eventually accepted as part of things now.There is a list of types of Artistry, though Abilities are not as easy. Abilities tend to come from genetic mutations of Artistry, and as such can be nearly boundless.Different types of Artistry can be taught to Divines who do not possess it at birth, but it is a difficult process. Since every Divine is born with Artistry, their body naturally adapts to their respective kind, however, it can be hard to introduce a Divine's body to foreign types of Artistry — for example, if you wish to use Fire Artistry, your body will have to fireproof itself or you will burn alive. The main way that Artistry can be introduced to a foreign body is with Host Objects. This keeps the magic detached from the user, but allows them to use it in small instances to adjust their body to it. Not using this method or trying to use a foreign Artistry in large amounts instantly could have very dangerous effects.





Elemental Artistry — The ability to manipulate a certain kind of natural element.
(Fire, Ice, Plant, Air, Water, and Electricity. Can also be referred to as artistry of the certain element, like Water Artistry or Fire Artistry. Elemental Artistry is just the umbrella term.)
Darkness Artistry — The ability to manipulate and hide yourself in darkness and create shadows.Light Artistry — The ability to manipulate light, as well as create it.Emotion Artistry — The ability to control or manipulate your own or someone else's emotions.Illusion Artistry — The ability to cast illusions that flawlessly trick the brain of onlookers. This illusion will remain in any peception of the user including reflections or photographs as long as it is in effect.Creation Artistry — The ability to create anything of your own will. This does not include Souls, as only the Reryer is capable of such creation.Destruction Artistry — The ability of intense destruction or to destroy anything. Destruction Artistry also gives the user enhanced physical strength by default.Life Artistry — Very rare. The ability to heal any wound or cure any sickness. If you train it hard enough, you can ressurect beings like plants and animals without any magic attached to their souls.Death Artistry — Even more rare than Life Artistry. The ability to inflict wounds or agony without physical touch and to kill or erode things by being near them. Incredibly dangerous if not properly controlled, as it can easily kill elder people or children by accident.Sky Artistry — The ability to manipulate and create clouds or stars. Can also be used to make things or yourself fly or float.Poison Artistry — The ability to transfer poison either through touch or through use of other Artistry, like plants. Can also be used to give illnesses to others.Metal Artistry — The ability to create and bend metal. This can also be applied to minerals on occasion, which then it can also be referred to as Mineral Artistry.Crystal Artistry — The ability to create and bend crystals. Variant of Metal Artistry.Fortune Artistry — The ability to control luck, both good and bad. Hardest artistry to control alongside Death Artistry.Form Artistry — The ability to change a part of or one's whole form. Can function with a second artistry or ability.There is also Time Artistry, the ability to bend or manipulate time, though this Artistry is not naturally occuring, but rather taught.




HOST OBJECTS AND INFUSION


Magic is used through conduction. Eyes are the conductor of Magic since they are the closest to the soul, and this is where Artistry and certain Abilities can be conducted from. There are pads on the fingers, palms, legs, arms and feet which Magic can be infused to from the eyes. You can do this by simply touching your eye(ball) with your fingers, for example. It can also be conducted through several different areas, like from the eyes to the fingers to the feet. This can also work through clothing as long as you're on the pad, but this does not apply for the eyes.Infusion is not only preformed through the body, but can be preformed on objects as well. You cannot do this with any object, but it must be an object created with Creation Artistry. This object can then be infused with any Artistry that the person infusing it with has, though this will unfortunately remove however much Magic is infused from them. This Magic can be absorbed back into the user of the object luckily, whether the person who infused it or not. Infusion of this kind is a challenging process because it requires a high power output for the object to actually infuse it. Objects who have been infused with Artistry are called Host Objects.Host Objects have a variety of uses. One use of them is to teach Divines born without a certain Artistry how to use that Artistry or give the magic to them by absorbing it. Host Objects can also be medically administered for Divines who cannot use their Artistry or have too much for their bodies to handle. People who are very skilled with Magic, however, may use Host Objects as an occasional boost of power.If you possess the same Artistry that has been infused into the Host Object, you can turn the Host Object into a conductor of that Artistry and have it use the Artistry itself, like conducting Poison Artistry through a stick and poking people with it to make them sick. Host Objects however under any circumstance cannot be infused with Abilities, as those are natural mutations in the body and cannot be harnessed.





REALMS


To put it simply, realms are dimensions where most of which can be accessed only through portals. Every place counts as a Realm or inside of a Realm, like the universe that Earth is in is a realm.The realms down below are important realms that either connect to Magic itself, or history.




LIMBO

Gizmo's brilliant artistic rendition of Limbo.


Limbo is where souls go when they are in the process of being reincarnated. Limbo was a creation by the Cinezphine in an effort to contribute to the other pillars and the Land that they were all creating, though since its creation it has been a land surrounded in many myths. With dead people essentially ascending to Limbo once they die, there have been legends of ghosts or apparitions forming. There has also been conspiracy theories as to why Limbo was inaccessible to the public.Limbo is a place that cannot be seen into using the Magic of even the Reryer himself, portals, precognition, or any sort of Magic that would allow so. The only way to figure out what was happening in Limbo was to go there yourself, which is why it was considered so dangerous.What has been learned is there is two halves of Limbo, the top half and the bottom half. The bottom half is where souls go when they die — they appear in the sky, resembling Earth's stars. The floor of Limbo appears to host these strange seaweed-like trees known as Infinibbons, named after their tendancy to grow up to infinite lengths until they are eaten by another Infinibbon who has grown over to it.The top of Limbo serves as a large mystery to even the Pillars themselves (except the Cinezphine, of course). All that is known about the top of Limbo is there is a large building and a field of flowers covering the ground.When the Cinezphine is interrogated about Limbo and it's creation, he will only answer that it was created in order for the Arjahnikabek and the Reryer to have a place to store souls. No other reason whatsoever.




LAND OF THE DIVINES


The Land of Divines was the first ever realm, created by the Reryer and the other Pillars. They created the land so the Divines would have a place to grow, live, and have a place to call home. The first generation of Divines then built the kingdom with the help of magic, and built a palace for the Pillars as a way to say thank you.The Land was the place of discovery, the place where everything about Magic that could be learned was learned, largely assisted by the Reryer, who was the ruling hand of the kingdom. He was the one to take the position of Ruler because he had created life, and understood it better than the other Pillars. The Zhevexay and The Arjahanikabek attended more objective issues rather than personal ones, and the Cinezphine stayed alone in the Clocktower of the Kingdom, too busy for any matters at all other than managing time.It was hard to leave the Realm, but a few Divines managed to do it. This lead to a few Divines escaping the genocide from the Zhevexay. Though, it was really only powerful ones, not average citizens.





TALES

These come in Past Tales and Present Tales — Past Tales are dedicated to telling Tales from the Divine Land and that time period, and Present Tales are to tell bonus stories from the present cast.Present Tales may occasionally reference elements of the story.
