The Brandshock (Also known as The 180) was an event that drastically altered the culture and behavior of the Vani. This event is directly linked to the Vani's genocide mission, thus making it the root cause of much of the conflict in Kenopsia parts 4 to 6.
== History ==
Not much is known about when, how, and why the Brandshock happened. It was stated to happen thousands of years ago, between Malefactor Enigma and Corpse Eyes. Greyven is also said to be involved with the event.
== Impact ==
As a turning point in the history of the Vani, the Brandshock's impact is humongous. The changes Vani underwent following this event are listed below:
* Every Vani gained a brand, also known as a weakpoint. Brands are a part or pair of parts of a Vani's body that are colored green, blue, purple, and red and are much more sensitive than the rest of the body.
* The eye color of Vani changed from their tanja and a random color to green, blue, purple, and red.
* Most Vani gained increased physical strength.
* All Vani lost the ability to reproduce.
* Vani could no longer age nor eat, making them nearly immortal.
* All Vani lost part of their souls, the other part belonging to their tethers.
* All Vani lost all maternal aspects.
* Most Vani became convinced that life is suffering, and that the only way to alleviate this suffering was to destroy life itself. Thus, they began travelling to other planets to destroy all life on them, thinking they're doing the other species a favor.
* All Vani lost the ability to feel certain emotions depending on their culture:
** Non-Ekorians lost the ability to feel pure joy .
** Non-Krianians lost the drive to create objects.
** Non-Devarians lost the ability to understand hunger and feel the drive to eat.
** Non-Beltasians lost the ability to feel most forms of love and have interpersonal relationships.
* Many Vani became apathetic or hostile towards each other.
* All Vani lost some of their memories.
* Stress Effect became incredibly common.
NOTE: Titan Vani were unaffected by the Brandshock.
