Tier 1 Quadrants

The Extended Quadrant system is divided into three tiers of circles, and this page is dedicated to talking about the first ring or tier of those quadrants. The first ring of the quadrant circle houses the original four quadrants, as well as eight new Extended Quadrants. We will be explaining the quadrants, going in a clockwise rotation until we've explained them all. They will be sectioned off in this wiki based on where they fall between the regular quadrants.

## Flushed Quadrant

### Participants

3

*Flushed - Ashen*

"A situation where two otherwise indifferent people begin to have flushed feelings for one another, under the encouragement or force of a third individual."

Matespicism is a situational quadrant that relies on one party setting up two seperate people with one another. For example: Person A is trying to set up their friend, Person B, with Person C. B and C do not know each other, or they have only met a few times. They're friends at best, but they are nowhere near close enough to consider quadrantship with each other. Person A goes out of their way to put Persons B and C into situations where they're forced to interact with each other and, with the help and guidance, B and C eventually fall for each other in a flushed sort of way and begin a relationship.

*Ashen - Flushed*

"Two people work together to resolve conflict and find themselves developing red feelings for one another. This relationship can fade easily, and can sometimes only be strengthened when put under a pressure comparable to the one that instigated it."

Storgiation is a quadrant wherein two people are faced with some sort of conflict or problem and they must work together to fix the problem, and along the way they develop flushed feelings for each other. This quadrant is very commonly showcased in movies and television shows, especially action or thriller movies. A relationship can develop quite easily when one is forced to work together on something, be it a school project, a workplace partnership project, or trying to save the world before it's blown up or whatever. A relationship like Storgiation can be more fragile than others, and sometimes may take more work to keep it alive and healthy.

## Ashen Quadrant

### Participants

4

*Ashen - Caliginous*

"A delicate balance in which the four participating individuals harbour a strong hatred for the other three. Together, the relationship is made stable and civil. If a participant is removed from the Clovership, relationships can progress to Kismesissitude unless a mediator becomes involved or the Clovership is re-completed."

Clovership is a quadrant that basically acts as a four-way Kismesissitude. This relationship has to maintain it's delicate balance to make sure that it doesn't need someone to step in as an Auspistice. A Clovership acts as an exclusively Blackrom polycule, wherein all four participants engage in Kismesissitude activities with the other three members, and nobody is left out or excluded. It is not two seperate Caliginous relationships in a vacillating group, and is instead it's own seperate quadrant with rules that participants must follow.

### Participants

*Caliginous - Ashen*

"A form of Kismesissitude, but the people involved can only have a successful black relationship if constant intervention is involved. Otherwise, their hate is so strong that they will take any opportunity to murder their Infinist."

Infinism is a type of Kismesissitude that requires constant intervention from an Auspistice, otherwise the participants of the Infinism will murder each other, which is frowned upon and not something that should be happening in any sort of relationship. Generally, this quadrantship should be avoided at all cost for the safety of your partner and the mental wellbeing of your poor Auspistice.

## Caliginous Quadrant

### Participants

2

*Caliginous - Pale*

"A troll in a Kissmelegiance is compelled by fate to make an enmity with the other participant. This can progress to Kismesissitude or Infinism."

Kissmelegiance is a quadrant wherein one person feels like they have to create a Black romance with someone else. Depending on how they go about it, it can become either a Kismesissitude or an Infinism. Hopefully it's the former and not the latter.

### Participants

2

*Pale - Caliginous*

"The two trolls are compelled by fate to constantly and simultaneously vacillate, but are both on opposite ends of the spectrum. When one troll feels extreme red feelings, the other will express loathing. They both usually vacillate at the same moment, meaning that they will never be able to have a stable and reproductive relationship."

Erosissitude is basically the Extended Quadrant's version of RedBlack romance vacillation. In this quadrant, both participants are constantly switching between having flushed and pitch feelings for the other, but they never feel the same. If one person switches feelings, the other person will immediately switch too. Because of this, they can never have a stable Matespritship or Kismesissitude.

## Pale Quadrant

### Participants

2

*Pale - Flushed*

"A couple that is formed by defying fate. This can be done by destroying a Moirallegience in order to form a new relationship or by turning a Kissmelegiance into a Moirallegience."

Stituency is the quadrant that embodies the idea of "if you want something, stop at nothing to get it," and in this case the 'something' is a relationship. A Stituency is created by breaking up a former relationship to create a new one, the Stituency. It's likely that either the relationship that is destroyed, or the one that is created, is either a Moirallegience or a Matespritship, due to those being the relationships that form the basis for the existence of the Stituency in the first place.

### Participants

*Flushed - Pale*

"A Philiasma is when, due to outside intervention, a Kissmelegiance or Erosissitude is broken. When a Moirallegience is formed, it becomes unbreakable. The status of this love becomes unconditional and cannot do anything but grow stronger."

Philiasma is a quadrant that is created due to breaking up a former relationship, in this case specifically being either a Kissmelegiance or an Erosissitude to create a Moirallegience. The Moirallegience that is created is also known as a Philiasma because of the prior requirements, as well as the fact that this relationship and bond that is created is stronger than a normal Moirallegience.
