Pillars of Man and More Wiki

### Pillars of Man and More

Those who are lucky enough to create such an impact in the world are called Pillars, and they uphold not only society, but the fabric of all that exists in the known universe. Since the beginning of time on Earth, the Foundation was shocked at the intense philosophy those on the planet Earth held. They held extreme moral compasses, wants and logic unlike anything they'd ever seen, and intense ideals that wavered little to none. With each coming generation, new stronger ideals were held, and thus more Pillars were called upon by the Foundation to strengthen these ideals.

The Foundation is a group of Pillars, stronger than any other, and often call themselves the Founders. The Founders, upon realizing the growth of philosophy in ancient Greece, knew that they would not be enough to keep society moving forward. They called upon the humans that upheld these ideas the best, and gave them the powers of Pillars, powerful supernatural beings close to that of Demi-Gods, in order to keep those that wish these ideas gone, at bay.

### The Universal Rule of Rivalry

For there to exist an idea so powerful that a Pillar can be constructed, there must always be an anti-pillar there to rival it. The 'rivalry' in this sense is more metaphorical than anything, but the differences between them can be settled through combat if need be. If one Pillar is killed, a wave of its anti-pillar will consume the Earth until the fallen Pillar is replaced and can kill the anti-pillar.

This concept is also followed in Earth cultures, such as the Asian cultures who call this concept Yin and Yang, where they believe good cannot exist without bad.

### Planet Earth

Earth from the very start was a prodigy planet, and the founders shifted their focus to it very early on, other planets coming nowhere near the same level of intelligence. The Founders saw the Earth as much more than just a speck in the Universe- They saw it as a gift from some higher power. History on Earth was the building of Pillars, much how Philosophy was one of the entire reasons the Founders needed Pillars in the first place. Things such as disaster, conflict, and sickness sometimes would come out on top, and with them came large changes in the Earth and it's people, leading to more and more ideals and thus... Pillars.

#### Changes Caused By Anti-Pillars

##### The Black Death

The Black Death was a plague that began in the year 1347 and lasted four years, wiping out over 200 million lives. This plague was caused by the disturbing loss of the Pillar of Health. The Pillar of Health at the time, Hippocrates, was slain by his counterpart and thus began the Black Death. Four years later, Hippocrates torch was passed, and the Anti-Pillar of Sickness was killed, ending the disastrous plague.

##### Anglo Saxon Period of English History

The Anglo Saxon Period lasted six centuries, staring around the year 400 A.D. This spark of literature and art was caused by the presence of the Pillar of Art, who was in a very intense game of chess with his counterpart. It ended up being a draw, which caused both of them to get quite angry. This is one of the main reasons art is such an iffy subject with humans on Earth, where some love art, and some despise it.

### Founders

The core pillars who often call themselves Founders, were put in this universe for unknown reasons by an unknown power. One would believe that Founders are the highest power to grace this Universe, but truthfully, that's not the case. Founders are the strongest of all the pillars, and only the energy they put into the world can change it, meaning they aren't all powerful. They are however, strong enough to perceive so much of the Earth at once that they can be all knowing. The Founders live in peace, believing that they are the exception to the Universal Rule of Rivalry, with no counterpart to challenge them. The main goal of the Founders is to eventually find a higher power, and they believe that the only way to do that is to make their universe perfect, picking only the strongest Pillars to uphold it. Founders have their own dimension that is open to all Pillars, and is where every Pillar will eventually retire to when their time on Earth is done.

### Pillars

Pillars are very similar to the Founders, except they weren't born as Pillars, but instead chosen by the Founders themselves. If a human shows amazing potential towards an ideal or cause, they are then chosen to be a Pillar, and continue fighting for their ideal until they eventually 'retire' with the other pillars, giving their energy to the ideas they strived to spread as a human. Giving energy could be anything as small as exercise or even speaking, but the time in which Pillars let out most energy is when battling with their counterparts, the Anti-Pillars. Pillars all have their own individual powers that are based on the concept they uphold.

### Anti-Pillars

Little is known about the Anti-Pillars. The only thing known by Pillars is that they do indeed have an Anti-Pillar- Someone to counter the concept they believe so strongly in. On Earth, these rivals have typically met before, whether that be in their own attempts to outdo the other or meeting up to settle matters in combat, which is far more rare. Anti-Pillars are far more methodical and tricky than normal pillars, going out of their way to plan far ahead against their respective pillar. Nobody knows where the Anti-Pillars reside, but it's believed they hold a very similar dimension such as the Pillars.
