Power Core System

§All Father - God Himself

All Father is a divine entity that sits outside of the observable reality, above all realms. All Father represents an absolute peak in power for he is all powerful and divine. He resides in the The Cradle Above, a literal and metaphorical place above all.

§Personality and Behavior:

All Father is neither good or bad, he is simply hungry. He needs to feast on Power Cores to keep his body working, LOTS of them. He simply sits in the Cradle Above and feasts until it comes time to rest. During that rest period, the Power Cores that pass remain uneaten. All Father also comes down to the observable reality to deal with crisis that threatens his position. All Father seeks only to eat, he is eternally hungry and that's his only incentive. His hunger however, dictates the fate of many in the observable reality

§The Cradle Above

The Cradle Above, a liminal, white and misty metaphorical and literal place and All Father's domain, holds streams. Streams are metaphysical rivers that hold different components that form the human. Said components float on the river, taking a tangible form and the river leads to a waterfall at the end of the Cradle Above. These components then fall into their respective human once they reach the waterfall exit. A component enters the stream as a human is conceived. There exists a mind stream (which drops personality orbs into its respective human), a soul stream (which drops the metaphysical soul into its respective human) and a Power Core stream (which is responsible for dropping power cores into humans). For example, once a human is conceived, a mind component, soul component and power core component is formed and dropped into the river. These components then follow the river until they get to the edge of the Cradle Above and fall off the water fall, falling into the human that was conceived. All Father stays near the Power Core stream and feasts on them until it comes time to rest. Any human that is born during this brief rest period gets a Power Core since when All Father isn't resting, they are being eaten.

§The Power Core

The Power Core is like the soul in many ways but its also like an organ. It is a soul-organ hybrid. The Power Core resembles a spherical, glassy energy ball in the Power Core Stream. The Power Core holds a very specific ability (with an equal cost) that would go to the person it was meant for. All Father feasts on them and the ones that get past him during his rest land in their respective human and they gain the Power Core as a pseudo-organ. Once obtained, the organ needs to be activated given a criteria. It is important to remember each power comes with a cost. There are many ways to recognize a power core ability. Firstly,Ignition Moment's are the main activation criteria. Another way to figure out what one's power core ability is readings done by Power Core Shaman. They can tap into the soul and read a Power Core ability,

§Core Law (Immutable Power):

• Once conceived and embedded, a power core cannot be changed, evolved, upgraded, fractured, or reshaped.

• Each chosen person receives exactly one power core, containing exactly one style of power — no hybrids, no changes over time.

• Core abilities do not scale with emotion or growth. Instead, mastery comes from spiritual discipline and understanding one's inherent limits.

§Classifications:

Power Core's have a few basic classifications

§Enhancer:

Power Core abilities of enhancers involve powers that enhance the physical body

§Conceiver:

Power Core abilities of conceivers involve bringing forth something into reality

§Manipulator:

Power Core abilities of manipulators involve manipulating already existent matter or imbuing matter with something

§Harnesser:

Power Core abilities of harnessers involve harnessing energy or some essence already found in reality

§Activation Criteria:

Powers are dormant until a natural point during adolescence, typically triggered by intense emotional/spiritual stress. This is known as an Ignition Moment

§Transference:

It is possible to transfer someone else's Power Core into another. This can be done intentionally via Spiritual Surgeries where it is transferred like an organ. To even see the Power Core and work with it, a spiritual entanglement between the two parties must happen. This can be done in many ways: Rituals, Emotional Connections, etc..

§Core Theft:

It is possible to steal a Power Core like an organ. Firstly, to even see or access the tangible core, a spiritual entanglement between the thief and the victim must commence, often through some sort of ritual. It is important to note that Power Core's are very unique to its user so a lot of the time, someone else's Power Core would be dangerous to the thief. Sometimes however, when the two individuals are very spiritually and mentally similar, the Power Core is compatible

§Ritual Examples:

• The Rite of Hollowing – Involves separating one’s soul from the body to implant a core.
• Soul Chamber Binding – Requires the thief and victim to be spiritually entangled, often through bloodline or emotional connection.
• God’s Mirror – A mythical artifact said to reflect and reverse a soul imprint — possibly used in core swapping.

§Summary:

Essentially the Power Core is an organ like component that every human is meant to have upon conception. The Power Core gets inserted into the human by following the stream in The Cradle Above and falling off the waterfall into the body of it's human. Every human however, does not receive his or her Power Core because All Father feasts on them as they come on the stream. Once All Father has his rest however, the Power Cores can freely fall into their human and this is why very few individuals have a Power Core and even fewer activate it. Once activated, the Power Core grants the user with a power following one of the classifications above and this power follows the Core Law. Each Power comes with a cost.
