Otherworlds

## Overview

The Otherworlds are locations that have only been accessed and acquainted by Maizen so far. Not much is know about these locations as they require a direct link between the living and the dead, and Maizen doesn't seem to talk about it too much. There are currently 4 realms that have been discovered with the mishaps of Maizen's Astral senses. It is unclear what the purposes of these realms are to achieve, but it is known that those with spiritual links have the capability to access them and those who are born with such essence can actually transport themselves to those realms.

## The Realms

### The Heavens

* The Heavens are what is theorized to be the source and origin point of Light Users but this is unclear as we can't tell what happens to the consciousness of those after they die. Maizen has demonstrated to have a clear connection with God as he has a gift from a Seraphim Angel, however it's connection to outsiders seem vague in nature. The only other piece of history affiliated with the heavens is the 5 century war, as Angels had spread Light powers throughout the galaxy to prepare for the next war.
* Maizen is able to recall a viewing of Heaven once or twice, primarily due to his Astral Senses. After viewing the Seraphim Angel, Maizen was able to witness the rest of the Heaven's to some degree to which he describes to be a peaceful bed of clouds with a golden Light in the center.

### The Underworld

* The Underworld, or Hell doesn't seem to have any relevant information known by outsiders to determine what exactly goes on here. There is an interesting rumor that has been affiliated with the underworld however, saying that a new Infernal Energy has been introduced to the mortal world, forging user's capable of manifesting Hell's flame, and interestingly enough, unholy water.
* This realm is non-Euclidean and follows its own interpretational laws according to higher dimensional beings and the inhabitants thoughts, only creating landscapes personal to those who enter meaning every depiction of the Underworld is different person to person. This information is only known really by the Bellicose Saints as they usually travel as a group and disperse immediately when entering the Underworld.

### Ataraxy

* This is a realm that hosts wandering souls in search of vessels. Maizen is fond of this realm since he was born in it, in a field of souls. The main objective of this realm is unclear but it's theorized that it is meant for reincarnation or repurposing the essence of life for other uses. Unlike the other realms, no one actually rules over this place. Overseers will occasionally watch over the souls here to make sure they aren't destroyed in some way, but more often than not, the location stays barren. These overseers call themselves the Spectral Saints.
* Maizen paints this place as home for him. The depiction of this realm seems to be a blue hue shifted forest with Light emanating purely from the souls that live here. This forest stretches infinitely and there is no day night cycle here, as Maizen recalls never seeing this place go dark or brightened up before. There is a very small twinkly ambience that emits in this realm similar to stars, and there is a constant fog that covers the place to which Maizen recalls is usually because it's very cold here.
* A note Maizen gives to those who wish to enter Ataraxy is that you remain calm before so, as all who enter have their senses amplified, including sight.

### Terminus

* *This is the end point of space and time, existence itself. Nothing has ever been allowed to witness this anomaly except the gods as higher dimensional beings forbid all lesser individuals. You must be an enhanced 5th dimensional entity or higher to enter Terminus.*
* Maizen attempted to view the abstraction once as a child, but upon doing so was immediately hit with holy smite and was sent back immediately to Ataraxy nearly being killed. In the brief seconds he attempted to view, he can only recall his senses vanishing, as when he entered, he was met with perfected deafening silence whilst being blinded.
* After this incident Maizen no longer wishes to speak about this realm, as his existence is threatened to cease if he tries to view Terminus again. However, the depiction of Terminus sparks curiosity, as Terminus from the outside appears to be a crack in the fabric of space and time. The inside of this crack has never been seen by anyone except the gods, seemingly guarding it from time to time. Even if one somehow did make it inside of terminus, they would never know what lies in it, as all known senses immediately cease when entering.

## Trivia

* Maizen seems to have severe PTSD from Terminus, since his very being had amplified senses. When he experienced those senses vanishing for the first time including sight, Maizen was actually terrified. This was worsened when he was immediately thrown back out with Holy smite as the resurfaced amplification made the pain similar to dying.
* Although not really supposed to, Maizen does want to bring someone else to Ataraxy one day since he's had no real visitors besides the saints.
