States of Being

> As most people, I hope, learn in school, there is matter and energy. In Multiverse, there are those two plus more!

## Matter

Normal, physical substance, which makes up all we know. It is made of protons, electrons, and for anything not hydrogen, neutrons.

## Energy

The flow of electrons and ability for physical things to move; the ability to perform work.

## Void Energy

Energy which has lost its electrons and has become pure. It is more powerful and graceful than normal energy but harder to contain. As the name implies, it can be obtained in the Void. Though it should be noted that matter which enters the Void will dissipate into nothingness. Spelling rules for this type of energy is strange. Void as a place and identity is capitalized, but in the word, "void," is short for, "voided," meaning the energy is, "voided," of matter. Therefore, it does not need to be capitalized. However, if you are referring to energy produced by a Void creature, you would capitalize that kind of Void energy.

## Pure Matter

Matter which has no energy. In this state, it is completely unmovable and indestructible, being that it has no kinetic or potential energy. Creating this and maintaining it in this form has proven difficult, but it is believed and reported that the Clatican have perfected this and can channel it freely.

## Corrupted Matter/Energy

What is made when matter and energy are compressed into one form. Like this, they are the opposite of pure, and have properties of both; very similar to plasma, if not it **is** plasma. Some people believe that the testing on these corrupted materials helped lead to the creation of the Corruption, but real evidence is scarce past looking at the name. Similar to pure matter, Clatican are also capable of generating this.

## Antimatter

Matter which has reversed polarities. It reacts violently with anything positive it touches. The Negative mass produce this substance to build their troops. Since obtaining it is difficult, as the Negative have a monopoly on it and other reasons, this gives the Negative a natural advantage against the other Factions in combat.

## Dark Energy

Energy which is now negative. It is believed to be more powerful than Void energy, but is completely uncontrollable by positive things. Dark energy seems to be able to contain positive energy, but the two never mingle. Dark energy also has an interesting reaction with positive matter, as it can react, but will not normally unless certain conditions are met.

## Dark Matter

The "corrupted" form of antimatter and dark energy. It is extremely violent with its reactions and unharnessed by anyone positive. Its confirmed existence has led to the theory of, "Dark Void Energy," seen below.

## Dark Void Energy?

An energy type never seen before but merely theorized by some. Others believe dark energy simply becomes positive void energy in the Void. The Negative are capable of teleportation, so they do not bother themselves with traveling within the Void. Additionally, they are not quick to expose secrets to their enemies. If it did exist, it would likely be the most powerful form of energy ever discovered.

## Comparative Wavelengths Theory

In Multiverse, a theory was developed regarding the functionality of the various states which exist. In comprehending the differences between each, it was imagined that normal matter and energy moved as a certain wavelength. If comparing it to one another, they would look distinct and similar at the same time. Void energy would look closer to regular energy, but it would be more individual of matter in terms of wavelength (perhaps being more chaotic). Corrupted matter, on the opposite hand, would be a perfect hybrid of both energy and matter as a wavelength. Antimatter would travel opposite of regular matter (where a peak is present on a wavelength, it would be a trough and reverse), with the same being for dark energy and dark matter. Pure matter would lack a wavelength.

This only leaves dark void energy. Theoretically, it should behave like dark energy's wavelength but purer, but this is not a guarantee. It is not known the interaction of antimatter with the Void, and in fact, pure antimatter is also not even known, either. Theories exist that state pure antimatter and dark void energy are the exact same as void energy and pure matter, while others state they are discrete, but no consensus can be reached.
