ALPHEANs

The Prime System

Even though they have conquered many planetoids, the alpheans take great pride of their own Prime System.
Each planet has a specialty of their own and they help keep the alphean kind going.

Culture

Culture basics.Alphean society bears many similarities to our own. Alpheans must work to sustain themselves, selecting their occupations early in life, although some may change their paths later on. However, their cultural landscape diverges significantly when it comes to their exploration of the cosmos. Recently, Alpheans have displayed a burgeoning interest in interstellar travel, transcending the confines of space stations on neighboring planets in their quest for knowledge. This progressive leap marks a significant cultural advancement for Alphean society.Alpheans maintain a profound connection with the spiritual realm, albeit not in the conventional sense of worshipping deities. Instead, they perceive the three forces of their planetary system—Hoa (Soul), Grusha (Body), and Molatadi (Mind)—as elemental energies rather than omnipotent beings. Their lack of adherence to traditional religious practices frees them to focus on the advancement of society, viewing religion as inconsequential to their lives. This perspective has propelled their technological and social progress, fostering a culture where diversity of thought is celebrated in pursuit of common goals. Academic pursuits hold great significance for Alpheans, with many individuals pursuing multiple degrees throughout their extended lifespans, embodying the belief that learning is a lifelong endeavor.ALPHA OR EA?
Alpheans primarily inhabit Alpha, the tangible planet within the Alph'Ea system. In contrast, Ea remains an enigmatic anomaly, invisible to the naked eye and inaccessible through conventional means. Its socio-political instability has earned it the moniker "Purgatory" among its inhabitants, deterring outsiders from seeking passage to its mysterious depths.Despite the challenges posed by Ea's precarious environment, some Eans—residents of Ea—choose to migrate to Alpha out of necessity. Adaptation to a new culture and climate can be arduous and time-consuming, making first-wave immigration a rarity. Eans, viewed by other societies as supernatural beings due to their origins in an unseen realm, coexist alongside Alpheans on Alpha, collectively known as Alpheans. It's important to note that Eans are regarded as off-limits within Alphean society due to their complexities and limitations.Interdimensional traveling
Alpheans boast advanced technology and a peaceful disposition, enabling them to traverse different dimensions through Ai gates. However, this feat requires extensive preparation, with Alpheans undergoing a two-year process to acclimate their bodies for interdimensional leaps. Organizations like the Leaping Bunny facilitate this transition, allowing Alpheans to explore alternate worlds discreetly. Many Alpheans opt to remain in these interdimensional realms, choosing to keep their existence clandestine.
[Out of story, this is the mechanic given to voided designs in lore, they simply wished to leap off the known galaxy, which makes it able for them to return if unvoided]Manners
Respect for superiors among Alpheans is demonstrated through demeanor and formality rather than overt gestures. Protocols dictate appropriate forms of address for higher-ups, emphasizing the use of last names or titles and discouraging physical contact unless initiated by the superior.Burials
Alphean funeral customs vary between Oceanwalkers and Landwalkers. Oceanwalkers traditionally allow their bodies to be consumed by underwater fauna, fostering marine ecosystems. Meanwhile, Landwalkers often opt for burial or cremation, with a growing preference for cremation coupled with the planting of fauna.Hard of hearing
Alphean sign language diverges from traditional ASL and BSL to accommodate the diverse facial features of its practitioners. Two main variations exist, one focusing on arm movements and the other primarily hand-based, ensuring effective communication across varied physical traits, including blindness or limited vision.Immigration
Following a conflict stemming from resource scarcity and overpopulation, a segment of Alpheans embarked on colonization ventures to the Empty system. These pioneers sought to establish new societies free from established customs and lineage, resulting in distinct cultural developments across habitable planets. Despite a shift towards embracing their Alph'Ean heritage among later generations, the aftermath of war led to a widespread exodus from the Prime system, with many seeking refuge elsewhere.Life in the Sea
Oceanwalkers epitomize the mystical allure of the ocean, seamlessly integrating into its depths and currents. Their world is a realm of wonder, where seaweed becomes parchment and gel-like drinks sustain them beneath the waves. Oceanwalker cities, constructed from rock and giant corals, stand as monuments to their affinity with the ocean's embrace. Unlike the sprawling cities of their terrestrial counterparts, Oceanwalker settlements are vertical marvels, rising from the ocean floor in testament to their unique way of life. Each level of these underwater metropolises holds its own secrets and wonders, reflecting the depth and diversity of Oceanwalker culture.

WALKer types

Land walking Alpheans:
Land society is very akin to ours, very tech savvy, living on the internet a bit too much. If your Alphean is a land walker then you will get to know each other in no time.Ocean walking Alpheans:
Water societies are not so different from land ones, they have developed means to be advanced and catch up to their dry counterparts. Water Alpheans CANNOT leave water bodies for long periods of time without proper gear because it will damage their bodies and organs. Just as how Land Alpheans cannot be underwater for too long because they will drown.Deep sea native Alph'ea:
The mysterious residents of the deep sea prefer to not communicate much with the rest aside from trade, they are very reserved and known to have very cryptid-like attributes. There are very few ambassadors from the deep sea.
While unable to reproduce, occasionally witness the emergence of new individuals. The reasons behind this phenomenon remain unclear, as deep sea Alpheans keep their activities and history secretive, especially regarding their role in past wars and their dwindling population.

IMPORTANT GROUPS

Leaping Bunny:
LB is an organization that has monopolized the act of interdimensional travel, apart from that they have been able to slowly cover ground in all that is main Alphea and successful colonies. Led by 5 CEOs you can call it a mega-corporation on the level of Amazon or Google for us. If there is a service to provide and gain money from, there will be a LB logo on it.The Investigation Bureau:
The IB is the organization that handles specialized crime within mainland Alphea. Juan, Sotheby, and the team are part of the IB and will carry out full-blown investigations on people if there is a law being broken. They are great and valuable assets. Alpheans cannot be associated with the main 5 criminologists until stated otherwise.Land-Water ambassador:
Alpheans capable of living on both land and water are crucial to the society of the main home planet. They are known to mostly do social duties that involve trade and politics between both parties. They are known to be roamers and have a nomadic way of living.Reservoir Guards:
Exclusive to the Alph'ea planet these are individuals who are tasked to guard reservoir domes. Because of the overpopulation and mistreatment of the planet, Alphean Animalia is on the brink of extinction. The domes are the government's attempt to stop them from fully going extinct. Hunting and eating local Alphean Animalia is strictly forbidden and an Alphean can serve a long sentence in prison for it.

Education
In Alphean society, education is a paramount priority for the young, who receive guidance from highly trained educators from infancy. Technology is withheld until adulthood, fostering critical thinking and a connection to nature. Academic professions are esteemed, with well-compensated educators ensuring future generations are equipped for societal contributions. Regular conferences facilitate knowledge sharing and keep professionals updated on advancements.Fashion
Alphea's fashion eschews fast trends for meticulously handmade designs, valuing quality over quantity. Fashion designers are esteemed for their craft, crafting enduring pieces cherished for their significance. Personalized gifts, such as clothing featuring celestial maps tied to birth dates, reflect the culture's reverence for celestial events.Criminals
Convicted Alphean criminals face exile to the harsh ice planet Eneos, where manual labor serves as both punishment and rehabilitation. Last name redaction, a sign of respect, ensures familial honor remains intact despite individual actions. Redacted individuals are integrated into society without discrimination, emphasizing personal choice in name redaction.
Despite the redaction of their last names, Alphean society does not exhibit hostility towards individuals with redacted identities. Instead, they are treated with the same dignity and respect afforded to all members of society. The decision to redact a last name is viewed as a personal choice, and individuals with redacted identities continue to participate in society without prejudice or discrimination.Energy cores
Alphean technology relies on polished energy cores, renewable sources mined from Eneos. These cores power various applications, shaped into standardized orbs for conductivity. Safety measures ensure minimal risk, with transportation overseen by organizations like Leaping Bunny. Customization is possible but entails extended production timelines.Sports: moonracing
Moonracing, a perilous sport, attracts Landwalkers predominantly, owing to its physical demands and gravity hazards. Participation varies across planets, with sponsorship crucial due to high costs. Rigorous training, sometimes involving internships on Ezra's planet, is essential for longevity in this competitive arena.Sports: nonathlon
Once a year, the system hosts their own version of olympics to allow non hybridwalkers to display their skills at survivals. The event consists on 1 challenge on each planet participating that makes the alphean live at the edge in some way, most of these is what we call "extreme" sports. Participating on a Nonathlon can risk you an eye or a leg, so when one survives it- a lot fo respect is held for the alphean.Rangers
Rangers fulfill diverse roles across planets, ranging from conservation to resource protection. Their focus varies based on planet-specific challenges, from biodiversity conservation to weather pattern management. Despite varied responsibilities, their commitment to environmental stewardship unites them across Alph'Ea.

Biology

Basic Rundown
Alpheans are humanoid people from the planet Alph'ea, a dual system of a terrestrial planet and a ghost planet. They take after many species and are generally very diverse in body type and abilities, but one thing that all Alpheans are capable of doing is the shifting of their skulls. When in danger, or during moments of high emotion, they can shift their heads into ferocious animals thanks to their Ai (soul).
This change can take a minute or hours, depending on how much training one has with shifting, see below for more information on the topic.A very trademark feature of them is that they have 4 fingers in each hand. This is the main giveaway of their Alphean ancestry in other societies.The current lifespan of an Alphean is 400 human years, thanks to their evolutionary line. Adulthood is reached upon 18 years of age, where they become able to access technology in its full capabilities. When thinking of alpheans, we encourage to follow the logic of elves. 50 years is still a lot, even if it is just 1/8 of their full livespan. Depending on their bodies they can grow up to 3.30 meters long. Consider an average height of an Alphean is 2.30m since they are bigger creatures than humans. Most of society is built around the average height, which is something to keep in mind when considering heights. Be kind to taller Alpheans bumping their heads on doorframes.
Due to the Alph(Terran) and Ea(spiritual) planets being co-existent and interdependent, as mentioned above, certain biological mutations have shown up in Alpheans. Including their reproductive organs. This led to them having a vague concept of "gender" as a whole. The Alphean nomenclature is based on the upper and lower reproductive parts- or the lack of them. In Alph'Ea there are male, female, and intersex reproductive organs, as well as the ability to have none.Alpheans can have the same upper and bottom parts, but also due to their advances in biology can be born naturally with a mix of both, which is more common than one would think due to the mix of Alphen (terrestrial) and Ean (supernatural) bloods. The more Ean blood in an individual the more likely they are to lack reproductive parts. This is not a problem for Alpheans as they have been able to reproduce artificially for centuries now thanks to technological advances. Alpheans do not perceive gender and sex the same way we do, while they do acknowledge biological differences, these differences do not affect how they interact with each other and their environment, nor the roles they have in society.Tsuka: the shifting of the skull.
As explained above, Alpheans can practice Tsuka, shifting their Ako heads into a form that resembles a beast. In Alphean society showing your Tsuka as a way of threat is considered a bit prehistoric and barbaric, as they believe they evolved beyond the need of it. This doesn't mean they judge people for preferring their Tsuka over their Ako(humanoid) forms, but you will get a couple of side glances once you do.This change can take a minute or hours, depending on how much training one has with shifting. The force of one's Ai determines how quickly the muscles and bones move to form their animalistic face, and with practice, one can learn to be quicker with the shift. The difference between these two states is denoted as such; Ako for a more "human" face, and Tsuka for their animalistic form. An Alphean can choose to keep their Tsuka or Ako permanently, for their reasons. With quick changes of the skull, many calories are burned in a short time span, expending a lot of energy. This causes the Alphean doing the shift to vaporize parts of their bodily fluids into a cloud of mist, taking the colour of the Alphean's blood. If one attempts a quick change without proper training, the muscles get strained at the sudden harsh movement, and tear, causing a swollen face, with pain akin to slipping a disk.In addition, when Alpheans are shifting, the muscles and skin are extremely sensitive, as they are in the process of doing something very hard on their own body, this means that if someone were to attempt to touch or assault an Alpheans face mid-shift, it would be incredibly painful, even rendering some in a short state of paralysis. Alpheans are known in the cosmos as “the unfinished ones”, alluding to what is the most trademark of their species, the fact that they are naturally mutated and seen as “imperfect” by alien standards. Alpheans though, take their differences and mutations in pride, recognizing what makes them unique.The capabilities of Ai/Ean scarring
Alpheans do NOT have magical energy (like how Omegia has Bo) but in fact, have very advanced technology instead. They have Ai, the soul, which is still an essence of life. The Ai cannot be manually changed or shaped but it can be damaged. And this damage is permanent. Ai damage leads to Ean scarring, shown through stark white pigmentation on an Alpheans skin, and if bad enough can cause death. When their Ai (soul) is damaged in a section of their body by unknown means. This makes them suffer discoloration in the damaged part of the body which cannot be reversed.
Scarring is often caused by Eans and Ean-related objects, including Ean artifacts. Which is why Alpheans tend to decide to not mess too much with those elements of their culture.

THE BODY

SEXESAlpheans can be born with a large array of combinations when it comes to reproductive organs. Note though, that none of these are capable of creating life, meaning all Alpheans are infertile. Due to years of practicing artificial creation, their bodies have been rendered useless. There have strange cases of pregnancies being able to happen but most of these either lead to miscarriage or malformed fetuses. They have deemed it inhumane to procreate naturally due to this and create life through advanced embryotic lab processes.The naming of the sexes consists on the first part,
the lower body:Chi - Male
Ri - Female
Tzi - Non
Yi - Both (intersex)And the upper body:Va - Female
Da - Male
Ra- NonFor example: for them a human male would be referred as a Chi-Da while a human female would be referred as a Ri-Va

Notes on Alphean Coloration

Shades of Color

MutationsMutations within the alphean society are strangely common because of the way they reproduce. Some of these mutations are generational and others are specific to the alphean. The strangeness of these mutations greatly vary and can go to extremes if bad enough. Mutations often come in symmetry and pairs which is why uneven mutations are deemed as rare. Depending on the planet the alphean hails from, certain mutations are simply part of the package.Another way an alphean can receive mutations post birth is unethical experimentation by certain NPCs or Ean damage. These types of mutations can be very dangerous to an alphean’s health. and sometimes results on corrupted pigments.
Inherited traits among Alpheans are often inspired by the characteristics of animals. For example, fireflies are likely to exhibit bioluminescence, while possums are known for their distinct tails and mouths.MechanicsMechanics and prosthetics are part of alpheans’ day to day life. Even though their medicine is top notch, sometimes certain injuries are irreversible and therefore require a mechanic replacement to keep the alphean living a normal life. There is a risk to this though. When an alphean replaces too much of their body with chrome, they will start slowly spiraling into severe cyberpsychosis that can only be treated with strict therapy and medications. Acquiring prosthetics and augmentations can cost a hefty amount of credits, the change being irreversible once the organic part is fully replaced so it is advised to be smart about these changes.Customization of these mechanical parts is extensive and up to the alpheans’ taste. may it have it resemble their old body or show off as a trophy. These mechanical parts work as extensions of the body and can reach the point to feel like a common organic limb.Cyberpsicosis and MetapsicosisIf pushed to the limit, an alphean’s body will start eroding due to the extreme changes done to it. Erosion comes in the form of severe psicosis that can alter the alphean’s state of mind and even being. More often than not, there is no way back from these altered states and are deemed a slow countdown to the alphean’s death, may it be mental or physical. This is a very real threat the alphean population is aware of and why they are so mindful about changing their body to certain extents. Common surgery normally does not cause this, so small cosmetic changes such as adapting one's body subtly to fit their taste does not risk a psicosis trigger. Alphean doctors have found a greater chance of inducing these states when things like eyes, crowns, pigments and ways of walking are altered.

Notes on Teeth

Teeth in Culture

Extensive information

De-crowning
In the realm of Alphean society, serious crimes may result in the removal of an individual's crown, traditionally made of hardened material such as horns. However, for those Alpheans without horns, alternative methods are employed to mark them as criminals. In such cases, individuals may receive a distinctive cut-out near the ear area, akin to tagging the ears of sheep. This method, often carried out using a hot iron, serves as a visible indication of their status within the community.The ability to regrow horns or antlers is considered an inherent trait among Alpheans, specified in individual character references. However if the alphean lacks this mutation, broken horns cannot regenerate, as crowns, once damaged, remain so permanently.Name Redaction
In Alphean culture, redacted last names signify disownment or familial detachment. Names hold significant cultural importance, and the decision to redact a last name is a serious one, indicating a severing of ties with one's family.Plurality
Alpheans are known for hosting a multitude of names throughout their long lives. While retaining their original name is encouraged for consistency and continuity [and masterlist purposes, we do not use numbers, we use names], Alpheans often adopt multiple middle names and nicknames based on various contexts and life experiences. These names may reflect their roles, relationships, or personal attributes, allowing for a rich and dynamic expression of identity.The practice of adopting multiple names underscores the fluid and multifaceted nature of Alphean identity. Rather than being confined to a single name, individuals are free to embrace the complexity of their identities and express themselves through the diverse array of names they accumulate over their lifetimes.Oceanwalkers and air
Oceanwalkers have the ability to apply patches on their gills, allowing them to venture onto land temporarily. These patches typically last for 10-30 minutes, with longer durations possible if the wearer stretches their use. However, prolonged use can lead to breathing dirty water, necessitating the use of more advanced equipment or a water-containing suit for extended periods. The patches are not considered the most hygienic solution, with wearing a water suit being a more economical and practical alternative.
The concept of wearing patches is likened to breathing one's own oxygenated water, which can become increasingly unpleasant over time. Changing the patches or dipping into fresh water is necessary to maintain cleanliness and functionality. Ultimately, opting for a water suit is preferred for extended excursions on land. Patches are for quick escaped to those alpheans that can handle the gravity outside the ocean.Medicine
Medicine in Alphean society has advanced significantly, resulting in rare instances of sickness primarily caused by reactions to external factors such as heat or poison. Alpheans can swiftly recover from injuries or illnesses, with broken bones mended within a day and specific conditions resolved through medical facilities. However, the decision to undergo treatment is left to the individual Alphean, as some view scars and injuries as symbols of their story and personality. Let it be said, most of their medicine uses a technology that mends organic surfaces to the way they were before, they are not used in aspects of their body given since birth.In extreme cases where an Alphean's body shuts down, successful revival is possible within 12 to 20 hours, thanks to the presence of electrical currents in their brains during this time frame. However, repeated revivals carry significant risks, with potential permanent consequences such as loss of movement or major memory impairment. Thus, full body shut down is considered a serious injury, warranting caution in revival attempts to mitigate potential long-term effects on the individual's health and well-being.Children
Baby Alpheans display remarkable development, being able to walk within hours after birth.
Producing babies in artificial environments requires extensive education and expertise in bioengineering. Errors in the process are illegal and can have severe consequences. The technology involved is highly advanced, akin to craftsmanship, and only individuals with significant experience are considered for such tasks.

THE PRIME SYSTEM

CULTUREThe system shares a lot of culture because they all came from the same planet ever so long ago. So if two alpheans from different planets meet, it is most likely they'll have something in common. Planets on themselves have their own unique culture and traditions as well which may cause an odd clash every once in a while. Stereotypes for each planet exist and most often than note used to poke fun at each other. If one would compare them to our lives, each planet would be akin to a neighboring country. Because of the distance and how the System is politically structured, war and conflict between them is always kept to a minimum. They all follow a “to each their own” philosophy.DIPLOMACYDiplomacy between planets in the main system is of great importance, since they need each other to survive. This helped the population develop a sort of familiar sense with each planet in the system. Traveling to each one may take a few days depending on the distance and it is common for alpheans to go on vacation to other planets as a form of leisure. The leaders of each planet form the Prime Roundtable, and often meet up to coordinate and plan future endeavors in the system. The roundtable is often very mysterious to common folk and their reunions are kept a secret for the safety of the leaders.ALIENOIDSAlpheans are open to the rest of the universe, this means that they have met non alphean individuals. Because of this they are not strangers to alienoids but opinions about it greatly vary. Alpheans are often at peace with many species such as the Aroboros and the Sigmahians but this is often as long as they partake in a position of superiority over them politically. Most of these alienoids have decided to settle under the Alphean flag and therefore be at peace with them.It is very rare to see alienoids in alphean planets, when it happens is more often than not because of diplomacy efforts done by the alpheans to benefit one another. The alphean flag has a great ownership of their native galaxy. It is often not recommended to be up in arms with them. Regardless of politics, opinions on alienoids vary greatly and the closer the alphean is to the main planet, the more clueless they may be about them.

A NEWBIES GUIDE TO ALPHEAN ROLEPLAY

IM A NEW OWNER, WHATS THE STORY?First of all welcome! If you found your way here it means you wanna engage with us on writing the in-universe story of the alpheans. Now you may ask how does this work? lemme run it down for you.

THE ALPHEAN OWNER STARTER PACK

Congrats! Your alphean has become part of the Leaping Bunny crew. By this we mean they were invited to test out the wonders of interdimensional traveling the company has developed. But see, there's a catch! Leapers need to take some years to physically and mentally prepare for leaping, the company gives them a few years of buffer to also test if they're even capable to do so. That is where the main chat comes in.
Leapers are separated in group chats where they can talk to each other (accessed by the chips implanted in them when they sign into the program), in this case, all alpheans are part of the same leaping program. Therefore they're all stuck in a group chat together, waiting for what eventually will happen.There is a catch though-
This.. specific group chats have been intercepted by an anonymous, nameless (NUN) user that asked them for help. Warning that the multi-million interdimensional company is not as innocent as it may look... and also that they were the original creator of leaping technology, but their name got stolen alongside their credit. It is up to the alpheans to decide if they want to help this anonymous being in getting his name back. They don't exist in any sort of physical record within Alphea. So how do you trust a man that seemingly does not exist?

• ALPHEAN DISCORD SERVER

• ALPHEA'S TOYHOUSE

NUNThis entity is a tad weird, coming with side effects. Leapers seemingly can summon and talk with Nun as if almost summoning a ghost. They will see the tall alphean hovering on the corner of a room, or asking about the trinkets your alphean possesses. But they in no way can interact with the environment whatsoever. Collected hallucination or ghost in the machine, the leapers have yet to find out why this happens. And till then they have the ability to seek out this nameless entity at their disposal, may it to send the other messages or hell- even cheat in homework.There is an obvious bigger issue at play, involving Nun, various NPCs that will show up (Sotheby who is a cop, for example) and the shady Leaping Bunny company. If your alpheans decides to jump into the mystery in blind and help the rest solve the riddle is up to them. At the end of the day there is one truth to the matter: This new interdimensional technology may be more questionable than what it was already known.Nun can ALWAYS be accessed through the DISCORD SERVER, since those are the chats they seemingly have intercepted. But be careful this line of communication is fragile, and if they get caught, it may be game over.

THREE IN ONE, ONE IN THREE

Due to a long history and many events in Juan’s past, he contains 3 clearly different lucid states, representing 3 different people. Of which, they are Juan himself, the Oracle and an entity known as Prime. Depending on the situation, each of these dispositions may present themselves to whomever is interacting with Juan at the moment, and each of those dispositions will have their own quirks and manners, just as if they were 3 separate people entirely.JUAN AYALA : The host of the 3 dispositions, is an awkward, but friendly soul known by many. Juan Ayala is known to many as Officer Ayala, as his competence in his job is unmatched, having gotten a knack for it through a father figure in the police force at a young age. Juan is more than eager to talk about his job to his friends and colleagues. This competency extends to the farm-land he owns, being almost an encyclopedia for many agricultural tactics, and ways in which to care for the farm-life that he hosts.
Unfortunately, this competence does not extend to his emotional intelligence, often oblivious to social cues, ways on how to deal with high-conflict situations passively and general flirtatious advances as well. Overall, Juan is an easy person to befriend, you must just be patient with him, and his inability to cope with his emotions healthily, but a little cry doesn’t hurt anyone.
Juan is also not of the same species as his friends and colleagues around him, unbeknownst to many, Juan is the last surviving Alpha, meaning his inner-workings and biology are fundamentally different to others residing on Alph’Ea.ORACLE: An amalgamation of both Juan’s lucidity and fog. This mix of the dispositions cause the Oracle to have a very mysterious vibe. With a gray moral compass, he navigates the world as observantly as one can. Keeping in tune with his surroundings, and nothing done every detail he can see, feel and even taste. Living life to its maximum is the philosophy the Oracle follows. The Oracle is fascinated by relationships, and interactions with others in the world, being extremely emotionally involved with almost everyone he meets. The primal desire to have what others had is what drives him, and it results in him doing things for his own amusement, especially when it concerns more … sexual matters.
Despite these emotional needs, the Oracle prefers to keep his mysteries to himself, and dislikes when others try to pry too deep into what he is, who he knows and why he’s here. He’s aware his time is limited, and wants not to delve into those topics. Other than that, taking after the other dispositions, the Oracle is extremely skilled in mechanical engineering and generally fixing and modifying technology, and has a knack for the more quantitative studies of life.PRIME: A digital figment of an entity long gone. Prime was a war hero that saved the Alphean race during the Alpha-Alphean war, betraying his own kind to save something he found so very important. He is stored in Juan’s chip, and mainly stays there, he doesn’t enjoy fronting not the company or Juan and Oracle. When he is there, the man is not interested in the others around him at all, if anything can you say he’s a little disturbed? Additionally, he struggles to communicate with the others who are around him, speaking in the long forgotten language, Alpha, there are many barriers both social and linguistic when speaking to him. Eans forbid he is ever found in spaces with new technology, being an entity that existed in almost ancient history, he will most likely struggle or break newer technology that he tries using, and out of sheer curiosity or disrespect WILL steal belongings he finds interesting.The relationship with these 3 disposition are quite unique, as in they interact as if they were completely different people. Juan Ayala is a little scared of the other dispositions within him, but respecting Prime a little more due to his authoritarian demeanor. The Oracle finds Juan a little pathetic, but shares the same sentiment as he does to Prime. As stated above, Prime dislikes the both of them.

Eans; HISTORY INCARANTE

BASICSEans are non acquirable NPC characters of the world of Alph’ea that helped the planet and society be what it is now. Most alpheans simply regard them as living forces of nature or traces of a distant past. These take many forms as they do not have a concrete shape or way of being. Eans, due to being from the ghostly planet latched onto Alpha, most often than not, have a hard time being able to manifest into the natural world due to being from a dimension above alpheans’. This makes their only way of interacting with mortality being to manifest as strange eldritch entities for brief seconds, possessing a vessel or even hiding away on objects that are strong enough to hold them such as their own weaponry that strayed into the planet after the war.These creatures have a hard time grasping the nature of alphean kind or humanoids in general so they decide to simply hide away when they pass over to the mortal world. Very little eans are known to the alphean kind, those being ones that were either forced or decided to interact with society as a whole. The rest simply stay within the shadows and if comfortable enough may favor humanoids for the right price. Many alphean kind live their life fully unaware of them because of how rare it is to come across them. Their exposure to the concept may come from folk tales or historical recountings.Eans tend to follow one main principle followed by smaller aspects.
Ex: Seretaya Vega - Ean of the Deep and Dreamy, with lesser aspects of the hunt, ean fire, nomadic principles and leadership.
Jaycelin Aveira - Ean of Lust & War, with lesser aspects of passions, relationships, weaponry, shadows and femininity.CONTRACTSBack in the old war, Eans assisted Alphas in the war efforts by doing contracts with them. Contract, for an ean, is a sacred deal with another creature in exchange for something they wish. This can be events happening, material objects or more. Eans in most cases DO NOT contract with Alpheans, since they deem them an aberration of life and it goes against their own social norms. When contracting an ean, the ean now deeply relies on the humanoid fulfilling their part, if it fails, the ean will grow sick and sometimes depending on the severity, die. Even if the humanoid forgets the contract, that is enough to make an ean grow sickly. Juan Ayala, who is not an alphean, is contractually binded to every ean that was forced into showing themselves. Both parties describe it as a glorified cage for each other. Eans do not trust alpheans enough to be able to uphold these sacred rules, thus only offering assistance through rituals, which are non binding and fully optional for the eans. As ancient as eans are, they will always try to set terms to the contract that fully benefits them and not the humanoid.Contracts types involve:
Limited contracts - a one time event contract that when fulfilled the eans lets go of the humanoid.
Lifetime contracts - Normally bound to finish when one of the two die, most often the humanoid, this requires an ongoing ritualistic practice more often than not.
Generational contracts - Contracts that go down the bloodline of the humanoid. Either until the goal is achieved or the humanoid’s kin breaks it, resulting in their death. Generational contracts are known to kill the ean as well.RITUALSA ritual is basically a non binding contract between an ean and a humanoid, these often involve the humanoid giving away their part of said agreement first and the ean (if they wish) fulfilling by giving a favor. When favored by an ean, the humanoid will be assisted on the prompted task. Rituals to gain favors are seen as very dangerous things to do because they require more often than not to do unethical practices or losing body parts. Every ritual relates to the aspects the ean represents in their nature.
The chances an ean takes a ritual is very unlikely, which makes it a gamble.
For example, a known ritual for Seretaya Vega, the ean working at the Bureau, is to burn teeth alongside other objects. The higher the sentimental value of the object the more chances the hellhound will favor the humanoid.
Performing rituals is not prohibited in the alphean main world but it may be in other planets depending on their historical relation to ean people themselves.

BECOMING A MYTHIn Alph’Ea there are families that have given their lives away to offer rituals towards a specific Ean. This requires many generations of practices that result in the alphean bloodline distorting physically to reflect it. In Alphean kind, people that show the physical traits of a mythical creature in our world are evidence of tampering with the unknown, it comes with a great price. The longer a family has been honoring the Ean, the more forced they are to continue these rituals for the sake of their own survival. Eans deeply despise quitters & in the case a family quits their offering traditions they will bestow a curse onto the bloodline that will worsen until the whole kin is destroyed. An example of this is the Toussaints, who have stopped honoring their chosen ean and now one of every child born is cursed to horrible burn marks which worsen with every generation. Most of the cursed families die out soon enough. In the eyes of eans, the children of a humanoid that made an unspoken promise must carry the duty of their parents. They are (almost) eternal beings and do not forget these.POSESSIONSome eans simply decide to not play nice and may attempt to possess humanoids that they are latched onto by any chance, this is a full possession and loss of the self, the humanoid becoming a mere puppet for this entity to use. Possession is very rare within the world’s standards but not impossible. The vessel that is possessed tends to expire as fast as one can expect. Lycurgus the Haunted is an example of an ongoing possession.FAVORSWhen one mentions favors in the alphean world, it often refers to odds and how they are stacked in relation to you. Gaining a favor of an ean that has the aspect of the ocean may make you better at swimming, but it may also drown you. Ean kind do not see things in good or bad but simply in what they feel like it should be the outcome. Performing rituals will not guarantee your success but it might as well almost kill you because said ean simply decided that the “favor” will be performed backwards. The chances of a favor backfiring is tied to the intentions the humanoid had when performing the ritual & if the ean agrees to them or not. This is the biggest reason why rituals are seen as a double edged sword.PLANETSEans are a force of nature that mostly manifests in Alph’Ea, the main planet. This is because when eans pass over they do not tend to leave the planet willingly. When rituals are performed in other planets within the Prime system, there is a higher chance these will fail simply because the ean is not present in that cosmic body. Their reach lessens the more time they are in the mortal world simply because they lose their connection to their native world & plane. If an ean is present in another planet, it is because they were contracted or tricked into straying away from the main twin planetoids. They will be weaker and most likely less willing to cooperate.EAN SCARRING SYMPTOMSScarring most of the time is caused by tampering with the eans a little too much. This gives many alpheans a solid reason as to why not to perform rituals or relate to ean kind. After getting scarring, the affected alphean will have phantom pains on the sections where the damage was made. Depending on the way they were hurt, those pains will change. A burn mark will hurt just like any other burn, a slash will make the tissue feel slashed once again at random intervals. This is why it is not advised to get ean scarring if at all. Without proper treatment these conditions are permanent. There are, in main Alph’Ea, specialized doctors that treat these symptoms as much as they can but sadly it is not possible to make them go away, simply lessen the pain. Cures vary a lot, some can be performing the right rituals towards eans that can assess the damage. As stated above, if the ean wishes to favor them, it can make the pain greater or lessen. Ean scarring can shorten the lifespan of an alphean drastically if not assessed appropriately. The main element of this condition is damage to both body & spirit.

EAN CREATURES AND ARTIFACTS

BASICS ON EAN ANIMALIAAside from themselves, Ea also hosts animalia as ours do. These are referred as ean creatures by most common folk. Just like eans they do not possess a physical vessel to manifest themselves when they pass over by accident. These creatures are not native to the mortal realm and can perish by persisting in it just like any animalia taken out of their habitat. Often perceived as lesser spirits or trickster minor entities, there are jobs in main Alph’Ea that revolve around taking these creatures home. When encountering one, it is practice to simply call a professional to take care of it. Ean creatures cannot be exported to other planets, doing this will simply make them perish in the journey. So it is a rare event that only happens on the main planet. Many alpheans native to other planets have a strong fascination about these.EAN CREATURES & SCARRING/CURSESEan creatures, both in artifact form and not, react very strongly to ean scarring because they sense it more strongly than mortals. To put it short, it smells like home for them and thus they become aggressive towards the scarred individual. They, though, have the absolute opposite reaction to cursed families. The long and slow progression that made the alphean’s kin form distorted attributes infused in them made them gain the native smell of the ean they onced got favored by. This makes ean creature management a common job for them, they are simply more likely to be surrounded by them.

IS YOUR FRIDGE RUNNING?Ean artifacts is what happens when these creatures accidentally possess objects. These little fellas are not really smart enough to understand the complexities of possession, so when they latch onto random objects, these simply form eldritch qualities to them. When a creature gains a vessel it can be called hazardous to be around. If an alphean has the rare experience of getting their fridge haunted, the best course of action is to call a professional so they can catch, catalog and store away the creature until it can be split from its accidental new mortal body. Possessing an object lengthens the lifespan of the creature because it stabilizes them. Many professionals study ean animalia through their artifact possessions. Depending on the danger they possess, they can even assist in catching other artifacts in the long run. The more dangerous type of artifacts need to be locked away for the sake of the alphean kind. Keeping an ean artifact is strictly illegal, alphean kind do not understand how to properly co-exist with these creatures in day to day life. It can and will result in the death of the alphean.Under the ean animalia catalog there are two major NPCs who are tasked to look after these mishaps. The Aoki family, who have a sworn duty to help Ean creatures go back home via exorcisms & Lycurgus the Haunted, who is an artifact historian that catches and stores away any ean artifact that may surface inside the Central Alphea Museum for Ean Artifacts.
