Star Energy (WSH)

## **Overview**

**Star Energy, more commonly known as WSH, is an extremely powerful form of energy. As the name suggests, it's found in stars, and is what powers them. It's a mysterious energy source that's heavily sought after for its strength and wish granting properties, however, it's extremely difficult to harness from stars, almost impossible to do with simple human technology. 1 single unit of it is extremely powerful; it's able to power a large city for over a day alone.**

## **Properties of WSH**

**Star Energy has some special properties in comparison to other types of energy, and can even be considered a type of element when used in magic. Not much is known about the actual properties of it, as it has yet to be experimented with much.**

## **WSH in Lifeforms**

**Although extremely rare, star energy can be found in very small amounts inside of certain sidereal beings, such as certain fairies, lumas, etc. However, the only two known lifeforms (in the known universe) to depend fully on WSH as their life force, are Sani and Snoek.**

### **Sani + Snoek**

In Sani and Snoek, their lives depend fully on star energy. When they completely run out of WSH through slow or natural means, they will die peacefully and quietly, simply falling asleep before death. However, if WSH is forcefully drained from them through an outside force, if violent enough, could very possibly result in a pseudo-supernova explosion.

Their bodies possess the miraculous ability to regenerate WSH over time through their surroundings, essentially granting them an infinite amount of it. However, they have a maximum amount they can store based on their experience and positive energy around them. As their WSH levels increase (see below), their ability to regenerate, store, and use star energy increases as well. However, no matter how high their level, they will almost certainly enter hyponergia at aproximately 5% star energy.

**Hyponergia** is a state in which they run so thin on WSH that their bodies enter a deep state of sleep. This sleep isn't peaceful, however, as they experience violent and constant nightmares during this. This is their bodies' self defense mechanism, essentially numbing them from the excruciating pain of being so low on their life force. They can enter a light hyponergia at 5 or so WSH, and will enter true hyponergia at 3 or below. At 0 WSH, they will be killed. Sani experienced true hyponergia for 2 months straight when his WSH was being drained due to his only friend at the time, Spark, being incapacitated. A similar instance of losing WSH due to a friend is when Snoek felt extremely fatigued after Marie's death.

### **WSH Forms** (Sani + Snoek)

Sani and Snoek possess the capability of shifting into two special forms that involve WSH. Their first is their astral form-previously known as simply "WSH Form"-while their second is overdrive. The two forms are varied in the ways that they are activated, what they do, and what they actually are.

In **Astral Form,** Sani and Snoek channel their star energy to unlock their true inner selves, truly becoming a sentient star and wish, while still keeping their normal shape. Their appearance shifts in this state to resemble their true selves, Sani becoming gold and sidereal, Snoek becoming colorful and dreamlike. Astral form doesn't actually increase their typical physical capabilities at all. In other words, their strength, stamina/HP, defense, etc. all stay the same. However, what they can do in the form is use **WSH Arts** (see "WSH Leveling") that they can't use otherwise. These are special moves that are considerably more powerful than their normal attacks, but they drain a certain percentage of star energy depending on the move's level. Not only this, but being in Astral form also slowly drains their star energy over time, at a rate that's once again determined by their level. They can enter it at anytime, so long as they have **over 50% WSH.**

In **Overdrive Form,** the star energy inside of Sani and Snoek take over their body, essentially making them temporarily made of pure WSH. Their appearance is similar to their typical one, except their bodies become purely a brightly shining yellow and white color scheme, with an equally bright glow around them. In this form, their endurance is increased to extreme levels, while their attack is literally reduced to nothing. Sani and Snoek quite literally can't hurt anyone while in Overdrive. Likewise, they can't use their offense-based arts, either. The form is very defense based, and is Sani and Snoek's "last stand" ability. To enter the form, they must be in **critical condition and be WSH level 5 (RUBY) or higher.** When they enter it, they'll be fully healed, and have about five minutes to escape before they're forced out of the form and left unconscious, as they enter hyponergia.

### **WSH In Other Lifeforms**

Star Energy is present in other lifeforms as well, aside from just Sani and Snoek. While there are different circumstances for different species, the main point is that they can all use their WSH in unique ways to their own benefit. Typically, it's present in sidereal beings, such as star-based creatures (star kids and lumas, for example) or gods that use star magic. It's also present in some magic beings in smaller traces, as well. However, while they can use star energy, they can't enter the same forms as Sani and Snoek. They can mimic their WSH arts, but can't necessarily replicate them fully. However, there *is* an exception for extremely powerful lifeforms, such as gods. Most creatures, however, can't do this. In fact, many creatures that have a bit of WSH in them aren't even aware of it, nor how to use it. Non-WSH possessing lifeforms can temporarily gain star energy through special means, such as being given it by other creatures, but their energy won't regenerate. Rather, it'll simply disappear once it's gone.

## **WSH Leveling**

**Sani and Snoek's star energy capabilities and potential as WSH creatures can be measured through levels, similar to an old RPG game. The way it works is essentially that positive energy grows their WSH potential, and when they get enough of that good energy, they can level up and gain more abilities and capabilities.**

### **Terms + Definitions**

**SXP - Star Experience:** The energy that is gained through doing positive, star energy boosting things. Measured in the same difficulty stars as missions on the **mission board.**

**WSH Arts:** Moves or abilities that can be performed in Astral Form, typically relating to stars or being very abstract and dreamlike.

**WSH Effects:** Abilities that can be performed at anytime, even outside of Astral Form.

**DX Effects:** Special, mastered versions of effects that can be achieved every 5 levels or so. A DX Crystal is used to do this.

### **Level List** (To Be Expanded)

Note: All arts are slightly different in appearance and name for Sani and Snoek, they just have generic names on the list such as "dash" or "dash attack." Also note that all moves marked as "Offense" are unusable in Overdrive form.

WSH Mobility: Moves that are used for mobility and getting around, or potentially avoiding attacks.

WSH Offense: Moves that are used for attacking; moves that deal damage.

WSH Ailment: Moves that cause 'status effects' such as confusion or distraction.

WSH Defense: Moves that protect / help guard the user or a certain target.

(More will be added to the chart soon, as Sani and Snoek reach higher levels. Just know that 250 is a hell of a lot of stars, so don't worry, it's not OP, this will take a long time.)
