Collective Unconscious

The **Collective Unconscious** is a realm of purely psychic energy that echoes and underlies the spatial dimensions of the material universe.

## Appearence & Characteristics

The Collective Unconscious is a dimension of the spiritual and metaphysical, created, sustained and influenced by intelligent mortal emotions and actions in the physical universe. The mind of every sentient being in the Physical Plane leaves a psychic imprint within the Collective Unconscious.

Although the signature of one mind is almost insignificant in the energy or influence it generates, when the imprints of an entire intelligent species of billions upon billions of individuals are combined they have a huge impact on the very nature and shape of the Collective Unconscious. This seems to imply that the Collective Unconscious is not chaotic by nature, but has been made so by the conflict, misery and war that defines so much of the material realm.

When an emotion or faith in an entity or concept grows strong enough, it actually *becomes* one of the denizens of the Collective Unconscious.

Many of these beings vanish when the emotion or beliefs that create them pass, but the strongest and most archetypal can become self-perpetuating, spreading the thoughts and events that grant them form and power and even interacting with the material world in a way that further strengthens the beliefs and attitudes that give them existence, these psychic beings would later be identified by Carl Jung and incorporated into his studies of the archtypes of the human psyche. There are also structures that would be equivalent to the Multiverse, each of which carries the mind of a sentient being.

The Collective Unconscious is also the source of all psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance and telepathy. An exemple of this is when Rafael used the Collective Unconscious to find Lilian's mind and locate her. The psychics use the energy of the Collective Unconscious channeling it through their bodies to empower their abilities, in the same way that warlocks channel the energy of the Mystic Plane.

## History

### Background

The Collective Unconscious was created by God, the exact reasons for this are unknown. But over time, the Collective Unconscious was increasingly fed by the echoes and psychic energies of sentient beings, and eventually gave rise to the archetypes, those cataloged by Carl Jung (The Shadow, Anima, Animus, etc.) and many others uncataloged. These archetypes eventually gained sentience and gained enough power to be self-perpetuating, and their influence in the material world is remarkable.

The first generation of the New Gods were orignally created at the Collective Unconscious, but the Outer Gods allowed them to travel to the Physical Plane and act as true gods, and then the next generations started to be created by both the gods theirvelses and the mortals collective faith,

Eventually, the Outer Gods decreed that the Collective Unconsicous should have a ruler and a guardian, then the archetypes united ther energies and created a being known as the Psychic King. After absorving psychic energy, it became the most powerful being in the Collective Unconscious and one of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse right below the Outer Gods and the Archangels, and similar to the Pillars of Magic, the Psychic King needs a host to properly manifest its powers on the Physical Plane, specifically on the physical aspect of the Collective Unconscious.

## Access and Location

The metaphysical and psychic nature of the Collective Unconscious makes it very difficult to access it directly, cause' any portal that is opened to the Collective Unconscious would only lead to the physical aspect of it, which would be something similar to a huge space filled with sphere-like structures that allow a very limited view of the minds of sentient beings.

But, a spell was developed to bypass this and allow the caster to acess the Collective Unconscious in its true form and nature, Also, a psychic can acess the Collective Unconscious to use some complex abilitis such as dreamwalking and location.

## Hierarchy

The concept of hierarchy in the Collective Unconscious is meaningless, but the higher authority there is the Psychic King and the archetypes that inhabit the Collective Unconscious seemd to respect and respond to him, and it implies that there is some kind of commander chain leaded by him.
