Divinities

## Overview

Divinities are the final level to a Divine Energy user's ability and are usually very draining, as once used, will not be accessible for a while until the user has replenished his Divine Energy.

Divinity is achieved through **Divinification**, through which regular Nephilim transcend their limitations and attain a level closer to **Apotheosis**, True Transcendence, although most actually fail to reach this level.

There are three levels of Divinification, each Divinity in said level is stronger than the last, and the final form usually arriving in a more conceptual manner (Kantarynn and Cienne are prime examples.)

## Naming

The Naming of a Divinity is usually released as a command on first activation and is almost always spoken in Celestial, with the exception of few humans who've attained Divine status, like Andalis. The Divinity's moves and forms can be named in either Human or Celestial, which all Nephilim can instinctively speak and discern.

* Examples: Ýelenot, Utzschtaffel.

## Types

There are five types of Divinity forms, each with their own users, who can be in two or three categories, via the levelling (1st, 2nd and 3rd-levels) which allows Divinities to evolve into stronger, more powerful forms.

#### **Ability-Form Divinities**

These are Divinity forms that manifest as special add-ons to the user's Neph Ability. Common users of this type are Luka (1st-3rd level), Gensow (1st-3rd level) and Lavender (1st and 2nd).

* High-Top Tier users of this type are Annatar (1st, 2nd), Kantarynn (2nd), Yuyawe (2nd) and Rhaemon (2nd).

#### **Transformation-Type Divinities**

Divinity forms that manifest as special transformation, somewhat similar to **Martyrification**. This is the most common type of Divinification and even the God-Tiers use this type. The Regulars of this type are Tevin and Hill.

* Top-Tier users of this type are Katrya (3rd), Kantarynn (3rd), Cienne Von Bargen (3rd), Icarus (2nd).

#### **Weapon-Type Divinities**

Divinity forms that manifest as special weapons capable of performing outstanding feats, like splitting dimensions, melting skin to the bone and granting the user far greater cutting speed.

* Users here are not exactly rare, but there are powerful users here, like Elder Windhorn (2nd, 3rd), Chromandi (1st), Morryann (1st, 2nd)

#### **Environmental-Type Divinities**

A rare divinity type, manifesting over a specific area of land or environment. It could manifest as a barrier, blocking off others from interfering with the user and target, making an obvious but difficult-to-escape open area, or just making a new space or pocket dimension entirely.

* Katrya (2nd), Icarus (Renko Mori, 3rd), Hikkerio (2nd, 3rd), Chromandi (3rd) and Cienne (2nd)

#### **Spirit-Type Divinities**

The rarest of all divinity types, allowing the user to create an otherworldly creature or deific spirit to fight along side with them. This is only used by a small group of people, as chosen and revealed by The Source in *Chapter 600*

* Users of this, as small as they may be, are Rhaemon (3rd), Tyrann (2nd), Windhorn (1st), Narcissa (2nd, 3rd) and Junes (2nd, 3rd)

## Limitations

* Divinities can only be used once until one's divine energy is replenished. While most of the top-tiers bypass this, this is a fundamental rule and is mostly the reason why it is seen as an ultimate move, and a last resort tactic.
* Unless used in a row, by progressing through Divine Levels, a divinity state is exhausted easily.
* They can be countered by stronger abilities, even if the ability user isn't in a divine state
* They can be nullified by a removal of Divine Energy
* Divinities cannot work in **Hell**.
* They are inferior to **Apotheosis**.

## Notes

* Some characters are stronger than their Divinities indicate, for example, Hikkerio, Hayu and Katrya, who all have active limiters, be they physical, ethereal or mental, that prevent them from fighting at full strength. Hikkerio is the strongest of these three due to his deal with Mother Sancti, The Holder of the Presence, which his real form will only be released if he is killed and resurrected again. Unsealed Hikkerio killed two members of the Kumokori without breaking a sweat.
