Chromosomes

**Chromosomes** are the fundamental building blocks of all space, time and matter that exist in the Omniverse. These X-shaped particles can be used as:

* an energy source;
* currency;
* time units.

Chromosomes can turn into different objects and form in different items via natural causes, for example, cakes and donuts (as stated in the Book of Chromosomes). Large chromosomes, which are visible to the naked eye, can either exist as separate particles, or be constructed from smaller chromosomes, each of which has its own specific role in maintaining the vital activity of the whole object.

## Energy source

Since all matter in the Omniverse consists of chromosomes, these chromosomes are in constant contact with each other. When one chromosome "rubs" against another, a microscopic electric discharge occurs, which is immediately absorbed by one of these chromosomes (or divided equally) due to the gravitational attraction of individual particles. Depending on the volume of a given chromosome, it can intake and sustain a certain amount of electrical energy, but when overflowing, it will be forced to throw its excess out. As soon as the chromosome is "emptied" in the form of a small magnetic pulse, all this unnecessary energy (sometimes with the volume of the entire chromosome) is released into the environment. Usually such magnetic fog has a non-standard charge, which is why other chromosomes cannot fully comprehend and absorb it, but any Chromic being can intercept and acquire this discharge with its Essence (soul), turning it into any kind of energy necessary for the existence of said being. Chromosomes maintain the amount of physical and mental energy in each creature.

It should be noted that despite the fact that chromosomes make creatures stronger, an individual being does not need *too* many of them to survive.

A chromosomic coma (or chromocoma) occurs when the effect of chromosome absorbtion (also known as stealing or sucking) is applied to an individual, while the individual does not have a single chromosome. Chromocoma can be reversed by returning a certain number of chromosomes to an individual. In fact, if a creature's Chromic level reaches at least -1 chromosome, then it falls into a chromocoma. The lower the number, the harder it is to reverse this effect.

## Currency

Chromosomes are often used as universal cash currency. "Monetary" chromosomes differ from material (energetic) ones in that they have a neutral charge, and accordingly, they cannot interact with other chromosomes and are useless in terms of generating magnetic pulses. Usually neutral chromosomes are those that have already completely depleted their energy potential as a result of constant Chromic reactions, but this happens so rarely that it makes such chromosomes very expensive. It is because of this that they are used as inter-Realm money.

Realm 1 is the first Realm in the Omniverse to introduce chromosomes as a means of paying off various services. Realm 0 was the second Realm to do this, inspired by Realm 1.

Chromosomes do not have any known symbol of currency designation; therefore, any creature using them as money can use the standard currency symbol ( ✡ ).

Using Obama's net worth in US dollars ($35,000,000) and using his worth in chromosomes ( ✡ 695,234,532), we can find out that one chromosome is approximately $0.05 USD (5 cents) or 0.88 MDL (88 bani).

## Time unit

Chromosomes or CH are also used as a measurement unit of time in the Omniverse.

Researchers have proved that an interesting phenomenon is associated with the release of energy. Chromosomes generate magnetic pulses periodically and at almost the same time interval. The time it takes for the average chromosome to fill up with energy and get rid of it is called 1 CH. But these values are constantly updated depending on what kind of anomaly the Omniversal matter exhibits at any given moment.

For example: according to observations a week before the Naikopocalypse (according to the Gregorian calendar), one year in standard time is approximately 5644.3299 chromosomes, one second is 0.002 chromosomes, one minute is 0.0107 chromosomes, one hour is 0.6443 chromosomes and one day is 15.4639 chromosomes. However, according to observations at the end of the Chromopocalypse (according to the Gregorian calendar (which is what we now call New Time)), one year in standard time is equal to 3650 chromosomes, or one chromosome is equal to 8942 seconds = 0.1 days = 2.4 hours (that is, two hours and fifteen minutes).
