Squeeb

The world "Squeeb" is massive; the planet is huge in size. Magic is abundant, and it has an extremely high amount of species of animals and other beings. Squeeb was creating by the entity "Oo" (basically the god of this planet). No one knows about Oo except the faction "The Covenant". Nothing is ever mentioned by him anywhere. The only thing Oo left Squeeb besides the land itself, is the first wave of creations. these are called "Demis" (half god beings). There are roughly around 4000 of them on Squeeb, and out of the billions of billions of entitis, that makes them extremely rare, and only a few hundred of them are on earth at a time. The rest are in a state of the afterlife (Diyuu is its name), where they can reincarnate into a worthy host or manifest naturally after a long period of time. Squeeb is a 70 million year old planet. When Oo created it, he created it in this order -- first Ground, a core, oceans. then Demis. Then unintelligent creatures (any and all beast such as wyrms and wiverns to early homosapiens). Then he left, and no one currently knows where Oo resides if he is even still around. Intelligent life (besides the demis and the angels) evolved around 18 million years later. Buildings and kingdoms are so scarce in squeeb, and the majority of the world is nothing but jungle, dessert, mountains, fields, ocean, valleys and rainforest, swamp, and is extremely diverse. Almost all intelligent races are between 5-6ft in height, and most other creatures are larger making it harder to have castles and open settlements that can be easily spotted without any larger creature noticing and wreaking havoc. The world is mostly medieval, but since it is so large, different cultures are at different stages. Dessert areas have developed early guns and revolvers, although compared to magic it is not much. They can still be imbued and viable however. The rest of the world is mainly medieval with armor and melee weapons and tools. around 30 percent of the world is in the stone age.

There are 12 continents in Squeeb. The first is Noryss, the second is Ixtara, the third is Caelorum, the fourth is Dravantis, the fifth is Zephyria, the sixth is Aurelion, the seventh is Myrrakai, the eighth is Solvane, the ninth is Khaldrin, the tenth is Eryndor, the eleventh is Thalmyr, the final one is Vaskara. These continents are huge and hard to traverse. only the first 6 known and somewhat established nations. These nations are always in conflict and although there are established kingdoms in them, they are extremely rare in all, as the world is harsh and conditions are always rough. the strongest of the kingdoms being the "The Covenant" Their leader is secretly one of the four thousand demis. Unlike his other demi family, he possesses no chemical influence over anything outside of his own body. He only has the natural powers every demi has automatically, like regeneration and the ability to reincarnate. Although he has this seemingly extreme debuf, back when the world was just demis he underwent "Nirvana" and can now manipulate his body in any way (can fully shapeshift, instantly regenerate, has near indestructable bones). his goal is to find Oo, his "father" and overthrow him to take his power and "fix the world" this is not necessarily evil, but the the covenant fully supports him. None of this is known to anyone outside this authority. Other nations exist, many of them being led by demi's in secret. demis dont hide in fear of anything but eachother as they are close to (but not) the top of the food chain, so they dont allow it to be known who they are often just incase a more powerful demi wants to take over their faction. Other races have smaller scale nations across the globe. Although these places exist, 75 percent of intelligent life is scattered out uncommonly do to the squeebs size, and small familys are always moving and setting up homes in small caves or safe places with cover because of the constant danger in the world.

There are an extremely high multitude of races, and almost all of them are capable of a huge variety of magic unless listed not to. These races include: 1- Humans - they are born with a random magic power, and can age to about 120 on average. they are a "new" race to Squeeb, only been around for about 30000 years. They are also the most common intelligent race. 2-Demis (half Oo) - every demi can manipulate an element on the periodic table to some extent. Some demis are stronger then others and can manipulate elements more. All are roughly the same age, and they are all immortal, although maturity varies based on their personalities. they resemble humans, but if they were to die (extremely hard for them to die), they get sent to Diyuu. Diyuu is the state of not dead nor alive, and they wander the world looking for a host. A host can be anything organic, and it is often a intelligent race like a human, but it doesnt have to be. Depending on the personality match of the human and demi, the demi will have less or more control. For example, if a demi and a human have a similar joyful and cheery outlook, (this is just an example since cheery is an emotion not found often in this world), the demi could completely take over the persons body, and the demi can use their full power. however, if they demi is less similar, they only get minor influence and minor power output. Their powers vary alot but always stick to the premise of elements on the periodic table. Some demis control 1, some 2, and there are up to 3 elements that a demi can control. for example. hydrogen + oxygen can create explosions. if one had just hydrogen, they could be creative and do as little as remove it from the air around them if they were weak, or create fire if they are strong. These powers are innate on creation and cannot be changed or transfered. an imperfect host of a demi can use these powers for as long as they are inhabited. Demis were created all at the same time before any other species around 70 million years ago, with the creation of the planet itself. The only way a demi can die is if their skull is completely crushed. Their lifeforce resides in the skull itself. This is almost impossible to do however because their bones are extremely near indestructible and their flesh almost instantly regenerates, depending on the demi it can take longer. If they somehow do die and are sent to diyuu, they can also manifest naturally without reincarnating, but it can take a huge amount of time. 3-Angels -- Angels existed around the same time as demis. Their purpose was to council Oo on the creation of Squeeb. However, before Oo dissapeared, he trapped them within a cage residing in Diyuu. They are dormant and upset, and silently wail with the little mind they have. If they were ever to get out, they would install a regime and attempt to rule the world. they are very powerful, although a tier below demis, they are each equipped with wings and weapons made from bone, assumed to be the same hard bone that the demis have in them. They are also extremely intelligent. However, they are stuck in Diyuu and have been for millions of years. it is possible to get them out but they would wreak havoc on all including the one who let them out and do not trust anyone besides their own, as well as it being near impossible to let them out due to one having to be in diyuu and know their location in it. Angels look similar to humans (besides the wings) but can have more complex forms. no two complex forms are the same. 4- Verdant. - Verdant are tall, human like people that are often between 7-9 ft in height. They have teal to blue skin, and rarely have green skin. They dress in many colors and are highly intelligent. they can use magic but it is mostly forbidden in their culture. They do not dress in heavy armor and prioritize agility, so they often wear robes. They mainly reside in jungle or wet biomes. 5-Driftborn- Driftborn are the second most common race, and very similar to humans in every way. the only difference is that they can be born with horns and tails, and extremely rarely, wings, and even what they call "diformity" in their culture, traits like beaks and paws. 6-Hybrids/Misc - There are many niche intelligent races with only a few thousand in population, who are extremely rare to see.

Besides the power the covenant holds over some other nations and surrounding people, there are not many known wars that happen. This is not to say conflict doesn't happen though. Although it does not happen on a large scale, theft and murder is abundant nearly everywhere. People arent fighting just themselves, they are fighting to survive against creatures and each other. It is almost always every man for himself on squeeb, although families often stick together. The covenant is the largest organization, and causes the most conflict. Their goal is to carry out the task given to them by their higher ups, and the higher ups leader is the demi looking for Oo, although no one knows about this.

With the creation of Squeeb, Oo, created a system of power. Although no one knows his name except for the demis in this era, his laws of the universe still apply. "Soul" is what drives every being. Soul is a form of energy that resides in almost all living beings. It is needed to use any and all magic. Some beings are born with more soul then others, and some are born with less. It varies with genetics, although mutations can occur to create anomalies that will not follow their genetics and will have a random amount when born. There is also a certain amount of ouput one being has. for example, if one being has a high output but low soul, they will be able to fire off powerful magic but run out quickly before needing to recharge (soul recharges overtime naturally, in all beings). But if one had a large amount of soul and a small amount of output, they would have less fire power but more soul. Beings can be born with high output and high soul, and some beings can have both low output and low soul. the output of soul is called "emission". Soul can be used in many ways. No two soul users have the same magic- for example, there will never be two being with the power to control light. However, there CAN be two users who can control the shape of light, and another who can control the direction of light, so they can do similar things but in different ways. The exception to this rule is genetics. Childeren are capable of inheriting their parents soul powers and techniques. It is also important to note that you are born with an innate technique, and cannot learn other techniques. You are locked into whatever fate your genetics have. No species have, on more average, more soul then another. For example, a strong warrior of a human can have a powerful technique and a low amount of emission. He will never be able to change this. Equally, a random toad can have an insane amount of soul. Un-intelligent animals or creatures can never harness the power of soul however. So in this hypothetical, the toads soul level would not aid it unless it were somehow intelligent enough to weave soul into its hypothetical genetic technique. It is also important to note that techniques are not commonly obtained and require a certainn mental state. A huge amount of beings never come close to harnessing their dormant soul, although all are somewhat capable. Rituals- Rituals can be used to bypass the limits of technique. They are mental declarations that cause specific events related to the command the user gives. For example, there can be a human with a not very useful technique such as the ability to communicate with animals, but he wanted to use his soul in combat to, lets say, catch fire to a piece of armor. He would be able to use a ritual to complete this task by first finding an object empowered with that specific technique. For example, someone with a technique that could burn inanimate objects channeled his soul into a piece of flint. There would then be a finite amount of soul in that flint, but the technique would be imbued into it. It could then be activated by first, mentally declaring what you want to do with the item or relic that is imbued, and then powering it with a moderate amount of soul. The object would then burn through its soul in order to complete the task, although it is not always completed. It would always end in the relic losing its previous soul and technique. This is how rituals work and how they can be used. Selfdom- Selfdom (or ego) is the mental power of a being, a plane of consciousness. Although soul and emission is genetic, high selfdom can improve the soul and emission a being has. Maximum selfdom is labeled as enlightenment, which is another limit breaker milestone, and Nirvana is the maximum mount of enlightenment, only reached in a near death experience or when a being feels an immense emotion and rids of it quickly. The most common use of seldom is to regenerate the physical body. Although techniques are the only other way to output soul, seldom can be used to quickly recover from wounds with the use of soul. It does not take a lot of soul to use and can be used extremely often, although reaching the mental state to acquire it is not easy. It requires large mental fortitude. It is also the least complicated form of output or emission. Seldom can also be used to amplify soul techniques; although it is nearly impossible to acquire as a normal being, it can be done. Demi's are capable of it easily. Laws- Laws are an evolution of soul techniques. Although even among demis, there are only 3 of them out of the thousands that have them. Laws are considered the ultimate form of power besides Oo himself. It is the total and complete control of your technique, stretching it past the bounds of what should be possible. It is world ending power. enlightenment - enlightenment is the limit breaker of selfdom. It improves all physical traits such as speed, natural regeneration, and reaction time. It also allows the user to become more powerful with their technique. It is achieved when absolute mental awareness is acquired, for example a life changing view or the conclusion of something personal and specific. It varies for every being. In extremely rare cases, animals can awaken this and even use techniques. Nirvana - nirvana is the evolution of enlightenment. It grans supreme power over your technique, regeneration, speed, reaction time, and thinking process. However to acquire it you need to stretch your mental awareness past yourself and onto the universe instead. Insanely hard to obtain and most commonly obtained in life or death situations. Nirvana also allows to connect with diyuu and sense presences within diyuu. Conductors -- A conductor is a host for demi’s . the conductor will house the being in their mind. when a demi is killed without reaching nirvana, it will manifest in a being (soon conductor) that is mentally fit for it. this does not mean they have to be mentally sane. this can include any being mentally suitable, not just human. once the demi is housed by the conductor, the conductor always be aware of it in some form. depending on how much their mental states align, they can output the demis soul themselves. however, if they do not align, or change overtime, 1 of 2 things could happen. the conductor could allow the demi to gain more power over oneself in exchange for a larger pool of the demi’s power, or the conductor will take control and erase the demi’s mental fortitude overtime until the conductor becomes so in-control they will gain the ability to reincarnate themselves. in this case the older demi will be shot out into “diyuu”. after discovering one’s sense of self again, the demi will reincarnate as a new being, with no conductor. they will reincarnate at locations with high amounts of soul, and slowly manifest into existence. every conductor can output the soul they gain differently and uniquely. for example, if one demi can manipulate the oxygen element, then the conductor may have less power and output, but can uniquely pair oxygen with nitrogen to create explosions. if the full power of the demi is regained in this state, and the conductors mental will crumbles to the demi (thus eradicating all aspect of the conductor and giving the demi full control of the body) then the demi will not posses this unique ability. if the demi is eradicated instead, the conductor will become a form of demi and when reincarnated, posses the unique ability at maximum potential. if the conductor dies while hosting a demi, the conductor will die and the demi will reincarnate.

Diyuu - Diyuu is the space that houses souls after death, and before life. It allows them to reincarnate. Only Demi's retain knowledge upon reincarnation, and have their past memories. Angels and Demi's are also always aware of diyuu and can look into it. Diyuu is a different plane of existence, the soul realm. It cannot be interacted with normally. You need to either have reached a higher form of nirvana or be a demi/angel. There are also spaces in between diyuu and the living world. there are many, and each differ, but hold no real purpose. no one knows why these exist but they are pocked dimensions that have no known ways of being acessed. some of them are physical places you can be, some of them you can only be mentally.

The first era was the creation of Squeeb and the demis/angels. Oo created this over the course of the first million years before leaving. Oo took this time to mold the world; He created billions of species and beast slightly after the demis and angels during this time. The demis never knew death here, and there were roughly 4000 of them. They could not biologically reproduce, but as they were immortal, they fought and played and learned about the meaning of existence. Diyuu was then created to house them in case they did ever die, and to sift through souls to decide what would pass on and what would not. The angles oversaw this for Oo. After these first million of years, Oo vanished, and has not been seen. The angels were locked away in diyuu before this and have been since, and they despise it, and cry over this in their barely conscious states. The demis were left to fend and gain knowledge for themselves, and they do not age and could only mentally grow. Some left for power in this new world, some grew very little and have cocky and bad minds, and some locked themselves away to attempt to mentally ascend even further. Since then, creatures and humans and other races have emerged in this hellish world. none of them know of its past or even what Oo is; his name is foreign. no rumors, no speak of it at all with the exception of the demis who remember. However, the majority of beings in this world will never come across a demi.

next to no economic system set up except for the covenant roads. there are few other roads with few other kingdoms.

In kingdoms or large civilizations, law systems are set up. Stealing is frowned upon, killing, harming, and any normal crime. Crime will often be to be locked up or given death. However, cities and larger civilizations are extremely scarce across "Squeeb". Smaller settlements often enforce their own rules, depending on the culture of the area and where it is located on the world.

There are trillions of hostile species that roam Squeeb. dragons, wyverns, a huge amount of large, scaly or grotesque beast. Many are elegant and quick. Nearly all are hostile. Humans and other races are mostly weak compared to them. The covenants king, the demi, is one of the smartest and most reckless/wrathful beings, hunting down his father, Oo. although none know of his demi status besides other demis, he is the main known power of this world. It is important to mention he is not THE power of this world, as many other beings, monsters, a few demis are capable of his death. Most demis in the open eye have no regard for your life. But demis are so rare they are not commonly an issue. Bandits and monsters are the main threats to any normal being. environmental events are also a main contributer.
