GearTerra
A once celebrated science-military group that played a pivotal role against the rise of Abandoned Sectors.
58 years after the Artunian War, a directionless GearTerra first discovered Gloomers. Thanks to their swift and coordinated efforts, thousands of families from throughout the Central Axis were safely relocated to Fulcrum City—kickstarting the Three Cities Era. Working alongside the Overseers, GearTerra uncovered the exact mechanisms behind Gloom-Corruption. Since then, they dedicated themselves to both reversing the corruption from and continued spread of Red Gloom.
Decades of failures against Red Gloom slowly pushed GearTerra into increasingly desperate actions. Their pursuit of more drastic measures would eventually warp the group’s judgment and lead them to lose their core ethics. Leaders would shift GearTerra's efforts to more selfish and obsessive places, with their experiments becoming harsher and secretive.
After GearTerra’s corruption was finally exposed, the group was officially expunged. While GearTerra’s largest divisions were hunted down and dismantled by the police, a few splinter units remained, with some remnants wishing to restore GearTerra to their former glory.
As a military group, GearTerra is composed of the following ranks:
General: The highest authority, overseeing strategy, research direction, and all operations.
Colonel: The mid-level commanders that coordinate field missions and manage squads.
Scouts: The entry-level operatives that carry out most on-the-ground assignments.

Glass Axiom
An Axiom that allows its user to create and control glass.
Gloom-Corruption
A process that can occur when a living being is exposed to high doses of Red Gloom.
Because the proper dose of Red Gloom is only a single drop, anything greater will cause the user to become overly consumed by their memories. This “hyper-memory” effect is so powerful that sensory information becomes harmful, and this constant pain can cause the affected to become a violent Memorian (colloquially called a Gloomer).
Visually, Memorians lose all color in their bodies, except for some areas which become red, including their whole eyes. Soul Scars will also erupt throughout their body.
Gloom-Corruption is NOT permanent, but it is extremely difficult to reverse. Sufficient intelligence and willpower can restore a being back to normal. However, the effected being’s soul is permanently changed by the experience, infected and linked to the specific batch of Red Gloom that caused their corruption. Because of this, Red Gloom that caused Gloom-Corruption to humans is stored and protected.
Gold Axiom
An Axiom that allows its user to create and control gold.

H
Hammerspace Ability
An incredibly rare non-Axiom ability that can only be used by bearers of the Ventra Birthmark.
With this ability, users can shine their birthmark. All matter hit by this shine is immediately transported to the user’s Ventra-Vault. Matter can then mentally retrieved and ejected through another shine. Living beings can resist this transportation effect if they can overcome the user’s strength.
H-Nutrient
A special nutrient that greatly increases the speed of physical healing within a living body. It is also called the Healing Nutrient or Health Nutrient.
H-Nutrient is derived from leftover shards of Axionite production. As such, this nutrient takes the form of a very hard, small pale blue crystal. To ingest the nutrient, the user must bite down hard on the crystal. If this is done correctly, the crystal will break, releasing a powerful blast of cold blue gas that must be absorbed into the mouth. This hard bite and sharp cold can be very uncomfortable, affecting the thin nerves in the user’s teeth and jaw.
After entering the bloodstream, H-Nutrient requires the user to burn through it in the body. This means that for the accelerated healing to occur, the user must become physically active; the more physical exertion, the faster the healing effects will arrive. However, if the user does not physically exert themselves enough, the nutrient will sharply affect their entire sense of pain, hijacking their body’s pain receptors and making them all much more sensitive. This pain effect will remain until the nutrient is fully burned away in the body.
H-Nutrient cannot perform miracles. This nutrient ONLY accelerates the speed of the user’s healing; it cannot reconstruct body parts that have been fully destroyed or removed from the body. H-Nutrient can only accomplish healing that the body would eventually accomplish on its own, just at a faster rate.

K
Ki
A power system that is connected to the body. It is also called Chi and Qi, with its user typically called a Ken-shi.
The use of Ki draws upon the energy produced by a being’s body. As such, Ki is dependent on the strength and status of the body; injured and recovering bodies will use Ki less effectively than ones in peak physical condition. The Ki Axiom is also required for Ki to be used.
Ki has a yellow color theme and is part of the Aspect Trio. Its mental counterpart is Psionics, and its spiritual counterpart is Magic. This power system is far less complex than its counterparts, meaning Ki’s power ceiling is lower but more easy to achieve.
Ki Axiom

Kinesis Tinting
A rare trait in Axioms that control elements and energy.
When a being has this trait, the element they control immediately gains an unusual color and property. This prevents other beings from controlling their element, even via telekinesis from the Aspect Trio.
L
Lava Axiom
An Axiom that allows its user to create and control lava.
Left-Tilt
A Stress Type that occurs when the Left and Center Atriums are the only atriums with an active Axiom.
The heartbeat pattern produced by this Stress Type is ((THUM-THUM... THUM-THUM... hum...))
Light Axiom
An Axiom that allows its user to create and control the element of light.

Locked Axiom
An Axiom that is inaccessible to their user. With enough concentration and effort, some locked Axioms can be tapped into, but in very limited ways.
Locked Axioms are naturally unlocked by their user over the course of their life, usually through training and their aging. However, some locked Axioms are extremely difficult to unlock; Special rituals and external sources exist to unlock these Axioms.
