Little Stuff I didn't know how to safely include + other stuff!
What is the difference between spirits and spiritual creatures?
Within Astracel, Spirits are entities that possess phasing and intangible bodies. They are often simply referred to as "Alofnikon" or "Phantoms". While they can be interacted with through guidance, they cannot be physically touched and are not always visible.
Spiritual Creatures, also sometimes referred to as "Ajimon Ravuf" or "Mortal Angels", are entities that have a connection to other realms, but possess mortal, physical bodies. They can be physically interacted with and are always visible to the naked eye.
What gets included within the Codex Tablets and why
While Astracel contains many types of Fauna and Flora, only those that are native to Astracel, or created here, receive a codex entry. This means you can still find ordinary animals such as horses, huskies, or black cats, even though they are not featured in any codex tablet. They have evolved in a similar manner and share nearly identical DNA with their Earth counterparts, with only a few exceptions. One such exception is the Reti-Lompent, a species that originated when a deer and a tiger mated. Over time, this hybrid developed into a distinct species unique to this world. Because of this, although deer and tigers also exist on Astracel, only the Reti-Lompent appears in the Codex, since the original animals can also be found on Earth. Similarly, Fauna and Flora found on other worlds, such as the Kinvivad from Odyra, are not included in the Astracel Codex. According to the lore, the team responsible for documenting the Codexes is composed of multiple Races and was founded by the Inser Foundation. There is only 1 Fauna species that is exempt from these rules, appearing on every world without any variation.
What is the Great Peace Treaty
The Great Peace Treaty is an agreement between the Humans, Hydromancers, Manifourians, Kamuzih, Ignarans, and Titanborns. It was established roughly 100 years before Human arrival and later expanded to include both Humans and Titanborns. The key rules of this treaty are to never seek war with one another and to uphold several shared laws. Additionally, if one nation is attacked by another, all other treaty members must provide aid in that conflict.
The Races that are not part of TGPT each have specific reasons for their absence. Terrans operate a largely underground {pun intended} market of illegal goods that are in violation by the TGPT. Lynxas and Khorul do not take sides and choose to assist whoever they are friendliest with/whoever pays the most. Luphirians live a peaceful lifestyle similar to monks on Earth. Eliors were treated as slaves for a long time and have vouched to never again interact with other Races. Lastly, the Shaoul Varon live a deeply holy life and refrain from interfering unless instructed by their eldest leaders.
As a general note: this is only a broad summary of these Races and does not mean every individual behaves this way. For example, one could say Humans are a violent Race with a long history of racism and sexism, but that does not mean all Humans are like that.
Who and What is the Inser Foundation
The Inser Foundation is composed of many Races, including some not represented within the TGPT. However, the leaders of the Foundation originate from the treaty’s member Races. Each Race appoints five representatives to serve as their spokespeople. These individuals decide on general laws and oversee major affairs. When a new law is proposed, it must first be approved by all Races and then voted on by the public, requiring at least 80% total approval. Even though some Races are not part of the TGPT, they still maintain large-scale operations that move through the TGPT system, such as the Terrans' harbor in Grûat or technological advancements made possible by the Lynxas. It is also important to note that the Black Manta Prison is property of the Inser Foundation.
Dimensions vs Realms
Dimensions are different universes. For example, Humans come from Earth, designated under the dimension ID sol_69101657296, while Ignarans come from Pyrhh, designated under the dimension ID sol_12380548463. Each dimension contains more planets and suns than one could count, and the number of dimensions that exist is theoretically so vast that no number can truly define it.
Realms are specific to each dimension and can also be called sub-dimensions. They are connected only to one dimension and nothing else. Examples of this include the Spiritual Realm on Astracel, as well as places like Heaven and Hell on Earth.
Known Dimensions
Known Dimensions are the dimensions currently recorded within the Codex. While the true number of dimensions is theoretically too vast to define, only a limited amount have been identified, named, or given a known dimension ID. The list below displays their corresponding worlds, including the names they have been given, their dimension ID, and their dominant species.
While I haven’t started creating characters yet, there is a set of rules I have created for myself, including some basic rules, species rules, and a few more joke-like ones. But in case anyone ever wanted to create a character, I might as well post them here :)
Basic Rules
Hair Colors: If working with data, include a natural hair color. The character can have a different hair color than what is naturally possible, but their natural hair color must still be included. For example: Natural: Blonde. Dyed: Green.
Height: Characters can’t be enormously big or incredibly tiny compared to the average height of their species. Exceptions can include things like dwarfism and gigantism, but don’t overdrastically do it.
Shiki Powers: Every character no matter what Eldrane they are, can only hold a maximum of two different Shiki powers at the same time. However this is still a rare occurance, with most characters only suffiecient in one type of Shiki.
Species Rules
Shaoul Varon: All Shaoul Varon look the same. Their only difference is black or white hair, and nothing else is different. They only have one gender and do not mate or have romantic interests in anyone. For more information, check Ralva Samara.
Khorul: Khorul are always adventurers or scavengers. They never stay in the same place for too long and have a variation of skin colors between a green-ish and blue-ish hue. They have a few dozen spots on their skin, and their hair is always coarse and stiff. At birth, the parents either take the baby with them while moving across the world, or leave the baby in the care of people they trust and retrieve them when they are older. For more information, check Nomadocaudus Khorulis.
Titanborn: Titanborns can use their "gifts" no matter the dimension they are inside of. For more information, check Homo Divinifortis.
Angels and Demons: Don't generally appear in the mortal world, but they have a natural form, and a mortal form.
Joke-ish Rules
Scrooge Rule: No OC can have as much, more than, or even close to the amount of money Scrooge McDuck has, the richest character in fiction.
Megamind Rule: Creating villains is fine, but a super villain can only be considered a super villain with good presentation.
Paradox Rule: The only character worthy of getting bored with insanity that they became sane, very sane, is Professor Paradox.
Shiki Powers
As I have explained before, "Magic" is simply the laws of nature, which can be tampered with if one finds the correct "wavelength", like a radio wave connecting to a radio. These "powers" are called Shiki, and while anyone can wield Shiki, only very few have mastered a specific Shiki in such a way that it can truly be considered a power. "Everyone can light a candle, but not just anyone can light a hundred at once". While technically anyone could use multiple types of Shiki, mastering even one takes a long time. Shiki also has a spiritual connection with one’s self, making it easier for a user to learn a specific type that suits them, while another type may be more difficult.
Usage
To use Shiki powers, one must wield a gauntlet or similar device that allows the user to tap into these different wavelengths, similar to how one cannot hear radio waves with their bare ears.
Aside from the gauntlet, they also need a special mineral that is connected to the Shiki element.
Skynotes
1. Shaoul Varon can render Shiki powers useless and have a unique kind of power of their own, which cannot be accessed. Shiki powers can also be compared to the "gifts" Titanborns receive at birth.
Below follows a list displaying each Shiki power, its "elemental" mineral, and the abilities that can be mastered within that specific Shiki.
SkyNote: While multiple "power abilities" are displayed, keep in mind that one generally has more control over one ability than another, creating even a wide range of users across each Shiki power on their own.

Notes: Used together with the Codex Marking or Religion=/Story= Markings.
07: Hex
Used where a color field will be added next to a text field item.
-;: Linear Gradients.
;: Radial Gradient.
Notes: When hovering over the color field, the hex codes, special color mark, and direction will appear in a tooltip if multiple colors are used.
06: Ghost
Used where a text field item will turn slightly gray.
Notes: Usually used together with the italic marking for notes like these.
05: Audio
Used where a text field item will gain the volume high icon. When clicked, an audio file will play.
05.1: Audio-s: Used where a text field item will not gain the volume high icon. When clicked, an audio file will still play.
Notes: Depending on how the Audio marking is used, it can either search for the file name mentioned within the parentheses, or search for another name by placing "=" after the audio tag and then mentioning a name. In the marking above, I put the following between parentheses: audio{-s}=TGPT.
While there is no current list of the prisoners inside the Black Manta Prison, some character I thought would be funny to include were: Dr. Aloysius James Animo and Zaheer
