Rings

**Rings** are weapons of Aywen's design. They evolve and grow with the bearer; they reflect the bearer's determination and strength to overcome any challenge thrown their way. Only two were produced, and they are located on Aywen's Planet. Both a *Blue* and a *Red* ring were produced.

The red ring is associated with the increase of directional speed, and is represented by fire.

The blue ring is associated with an increase of vertical speed, and is represented by ice.

**This page excludes the Tri-ring.**

## Obtaining & Growth

### Obtaining

On Aywen's Planet, the red ring is located within the mud cave where Aywen resides. It lays at the bottom of the cavern.

Deeper within Aywen's Planet is the blue ring, within an icy cavern beneath Aywen's Treehouse.

### Growth

Each ring changes and shifts with the bearer. When a great challenge has been overcome (e.g., breaking the outer barrier of Aywen's Planet), the ring changes size. Each ring has three sizes it can assume: small, medium, and large, Rings grow individually—they cannot both grow from the same event.

When a smaller challenge has been overcome, the ring experiences a small change. This change is not in size, but in 'shaping' ring ink. This strange ability is touched on below.

There is also a strange in-between ring, which is not red nor blue. This 'ring' takes the shape of a sawblade, and is named Hyperity.

## Ring Ink

One unique property of rings are ring ink. Ring ink is a fluid which rings can expel forth from an invisible center point. The ink itself appears from seemingly nowhere. However, there is an invisible point where ink is produced, highlighted in the image to the right.

Depending on its ring of origin, ring ink changes color. The red ring provides red ink, and vice versa. The ink does not change properties based on its color. However, Hyperity cannot produce ink.

As mentioned prior, ring ink can be molded into many different shapes, such as cones and rectangles. Not only can ring ink be shaped into stationary objects, but it can also fire spurts of ink. From the ring's center, an orb of ink can be fired, which lands on the ground and bursts. Despite the seemingly-unstable nature of the ink, it can be stood on. Thus, it can be used for temporary bridges and small forts. It can also be used for battling.

The most common use for ring ink is returning the ring. Without ring ink, throwing a ring would be useless. Ring ink allows for a ring to return to its sender, rendering the action of chasing after it to retrieve it unnecessary.

Using ring ink takes up a small portion of the bearer's energy. Depending on the action performed with ink, the more energy will be taken up.

## Hyperity

Hyperity is the combination of the red and blue ring to form a sawblade. Since Hyperity is the combination of both rings, the red and blue rings cannot be used alongside Hyperity.

Hyperity is associated with the increase of power and battle, and is represented by light.

Hyperity requires energy to summon forth, and cannot be used immediately after obtaining. It is by nature that when Hyperity is called forth, the bearer is in the process of performing an action that requires at least a medium-sized quantity of energy. Once summoned, Hyperity will immediately aid with the action being performed under the condition that the action involves vertical or horizontal momentum—Hyperity is useful for not only increased strength, but increased movement speed in all directions (especially upwards), Seeing that it is the combination of both the red and blue rings, which individually increase forward and vertical velocity.

Though Hyperity cannot summon ink, it has a substitute: light. Especially when first summoned, Hyperity emits light. However, this light is seemingly tangible, and can cause damage to those surrounding it upon contact. Light can also be used to retrieve the ring back from the place it is thrown to. Despite this, light is not a perfect substitute for ring ink, and it lacks many moves which could be performed otherwise. Because of this, Hyperity is oftentimes used instead to travel to distant places via its ability to increase velocity in all directions.
