Definitions: a note about definitions, and words that are not usually capitalized are capitalized when referencing the relevant usage unique to the world.
Aspect: A mysterious power that can be awakened, usually with rigorous mental and physical training. Is a quality of a thing, anything, concept, elemen, force or otherwise something in existence, real or not, which can be shaped and which shapes the awakened user. It is said that only one in a million people will awaken an Aspect.
Aspecter/Specter: a common name for someone who has awakened their Aspect. Generally refers to a Savant level Specter.
Savant: the first level of Aspect awakening
Master: the next level of Aspect awakening, union with the Aspect and Mastery over one’s Aspect.
Fable: highest level of Aspect awakening, Aspect coagulation, merging, becoming one with the Aspect, deeper knowledge of the universe.
Thaumaturge” An ancient level of Aspect awakening described to be even higher than Fable, Aspect apotheosis. Scholars argue that this level is no different from Fable.
Aspect classifications: Are for broad categorizations, the Aspect is used uniquely in each individual and these are guidelines and not strict rules.
Augur: Enhances physical abilities, usually melee based and can often cause biological alterations, if only temporary.
Mancer: Influence of forces either generated or naturally occurring, usually ranged
Sage: Intellectual based powers, often having to do with something mental, notoriously self interested.
Color: A category of their own as certain Specters merely call their Aspect a color. These are unique in being the only type of Aspect where none has survived to reach Master level of awakening due to the thought that a Master Color would be too strong.
Coder: Rule or law bending abilities not necessarily physical or mental but rather inherent, such as changing natural laws or dimensions of objects.
Arc 1:
Talis Ranis: A Fable Specter, wrote the preeminent book on Aspects and how to awaken them, the Dream and Dreamer. kickstarted the Aspect revolution in which many more people learned to awaken an Aspect credited to Talis Ranis, very old and looks like a mix between a Heron and and old man.
Yillo Adealous :Paroxysm – Augur – Yillo’s body turns red, representing the amount of fury he has charged. The fury drains out of his body at the point of impact, either from attacking or defending. The more anger, the deeper the reds, the more powerful the detonation.
Hales Ailor: Solar – Mancer – Hales can draw out planets, stars, asteroids from an inner galaxy. Her space objects start out very small but can be grown or increased as long as she retains possession of them. Upon setting a gravitational center she loses possession. Each object exerts and is affected by each other’s gravity. Hales is also able to increase the rotation and orbit of her stars and planets. She is able to decide which objects she pulls out from her galaxy. By throwing, setting and spinning a variety of different celestial objects Hales has a very diverse power which benefits greatly from an understanding of chemistry and physics as well as martial arts for the flow of movement and maximizing throwing or launching power. Only physical change is her eyes become black orbs with spiraling galaxies while her Aspect is activated.
Dartan Banister: Rule – Coder – Dartan sees mathematical statistics beside every single object and force while his Aspect is turned on. By writing in the air with his finger, he is able to take the information from for example, a gust of wind or the dimensions of a box. By figuring out the coded properties Dartan can write a mathematical Rule and change for the laws or properties of an object or force. So for the example, make the wind stop or go gust harder, make the box larger or change the shape. The extremity of what he is trying to “Code” directly relates to the difficulty of the equation he needs to solve. It should be noted that he must both come up with the equation needed to solve the random information as well as the solution for that equation. He has a very limited time to write his Rule once he begins, thirty seconds is his average. Once a successful Rule is written, the writing in the air remains there floating until the Rule wears off. An unsuccessful Rule will disappear. His only physical change is the glossiness of his eyes can reflect the millions of numbers, letters, symbols he may be seeing. Requires a lot of focus and a very advanced understanding of mathematics on every level. Using his power on other Aspects tends to be easier than most anything else.
Genjam Beatal: Chaos Blue – Color – A cloud of swirling blue and black forms over his head upon activating his Aspect. Depending on his finger motions and gestures, he can create objects or projectiles to attack and defend. Simply pointing fingers will launch spears created from the Chaos Blue and forming circles creates shields. Objects become a steel-like substance of blue metal. While objects can be destroyed they always revert back to the blue and black particles and return to Genjam. He has a limited supply of this mass but at any point he can close his fist and recall all of his created objects back to his Chaos Blue cloud.
Bregan Brand: Synthesis – Mancer – He can combine two elements together to form a “synthesized” element. Water + dirt = mud. Fire + water = steam. Etc. A sufficient amount of one element must be in one hand, and another element in his other hand. Clapping the two hands and elements together will form the synthesized element. It will take the form of an orb which he can grab. It will absorb into his body and from there he can use a standard set of attacks. Although some elements yield special attacks he generally has a typical “sorcerer” moveset. Balls, geysers, streams, etc. Combining elements from other Aspects results in weaker and unstable abilities. Using raw elements from nature is usually best.
Jid Cavin: Hunter – Augur – Jid enters into an ethereal state where he is nearly invisible and untouchable. In this state he sees the world in vibrant colors with trails and afterimages of organic creatures. He can also see energy and meridians in a “trippy” kaleidoscope of colors and waves. To understand his perspective, think in terms of seeing the world in what you would stereotype an acid trip or if we could see in various electromagnetic frequency ranges. His movement is greatly restricted, even a single step requires massive effort.
Magun Deavo: Tank – Augur – Magun converts his right arm into a cannon made of bone and sinewy muscles. It will regenerate and grow naturally and the ammo draws from itself. Different shots can be used based off the flex of his arm, i.e. scattershot by crushing the cannonball inside the barrel. The larger the shot shot the more cannon is used and therefore requires a longer period of regrowth which functions as reloading. The Tank growth can be extended to different parts of the body for added armor. Irises become crosshairs.
Uana Elis: Gale – Mancer – Uana produces icy chills with her breath. Enough breath can trigger blizzards and spittle is frozen into icicles. Different breathing patterns cause different effects. Deeper breaths can cause blizzards whereas pursed lips can concentrate the chill for stronger freezing effects on specific targets.

Icy, glitter/snowflake spots on her body as well as ice blue eyes and icy hair and so on.
Hijo Fevar: Wild – Augur – Hijo becomes crazed and the more he fights the more berserk he becomes. His body begins to transform while in long/intense fights.

Charm, depicted as an intricate pink design will allow her to command an enemy for a short period and Vertigo, a mesmerizing designed tattoo will cause severe dizziness, to name a few examples. The tattoos can be shot out, placed, or otherwise move on their own depending the type. Direct contact must be made for the effects to trigger.
Jillian Hund: Alacrity – Augur – Jillian has unlimited adrenaline while her Aspect is active but this does not mean infinite use. She won’t tire physically but she doesn’t get unlimited strength or endurance. Her body simply has an endless store of adrenaline but it can’t use more than it normally would be able to. For example if she is running long distance she could potentially run indefinitely but not at super speeds.
Abagene Jem: Metamorphose – Augur – Abagene(or Abajem as Hales calls her) combines with an insect (praying mantis being her preference). The two will wrap into a cocoon and undergo metamorphosis. Upon completion she will tear her way out and exhibit qualities of the chosen insect. Essentially it is a suit of that insect but on a larger scale, often being taller than a human. The insect at that point is one with her and they have a shared mind and instinct. She can molt out of her Metamorphose when she needs to or else it can be damaged enough to break. The insect finally dies when she is no longer in the Metamorphose.

They can physically collide with objects once enough momentum is gained, other than that they are immaterial to the tough. Astral weapons shatter on impact and tend to have great destructive power. Spectral weapons are green and translucent. They have no physical properties to the touch and can’t deal damage. They can, however, inflict other effects. Such as inhibiting movement if a spear or chain weapon is used on an opponent. It passes through them and locks them into place. He can use a variety of weapons and shields. The downside is the amount of energy required to use a weapon.
Aulus Parthan: Myrmidon – Augur – Aulus meditates and summons warriors. He can choose which warrior to control, via a telekinetic link. Lodatotus is a black-garbed assassin with two curved swords and Irokles is a bronze armored soldier with a large round shield, a spear and a shortsword.

Bad Karma gives him glowing blue eyes and Good Karma gives him glowing golden eyes.

Winnow Ty: Ash – Augur – Winnow is another Specter whose biology changes based on her Aspect. She requires ash, either smoked or consumed, as nutrition. Smoke and ash is also her fuel source and ammo supply. She can exhale smoke in large quantities, creating ashclouds. By causing enough friction she can generate sparks which can then ignite the ash. Consisting of ash allows her to interact with it in unique ways, such as being able to grab thick condenses of it or fanning in a single direction to create a vortex. Her eyes are an ashy grey and her body has a subtle ash-grey hue to it.
Jonatan Velm: Silence – Sage – Upon placing his foot on the ground, Jonatan creates a field of silence and slowing.
