Aspects

Literal metaphysical concepts and fundamental forces of creation.

Aspects are defined by a singular word that encompasses their esoteric nature at its core, and often provide a broad interpretation of what is possible with their power. There are no two Aspects that are the exact same.

Vessels are the bearers of Aspects and each Vessel bears only one. While more than one individual may bear the same Aspect it is incredibly unlikely for this to occur, as the Aspect tied to the Vessel is influenced by their core being and personality. There may be other criteria that determine what Aspect goes to what Vessel.

More importantly Aspects seem to be sentient to some degree and some have shown the capacity to converse and interact with their Vessel through dreams or echoes of mental communication. What role this sentience plays in how Aspects bind to Vessels or if it is true sentience at all is up for debate.

**Known Aspects**

Augmentation - One that exalts others, bound to Brooke. It has appeared as a massive leviathan with Feraligatr-like features and occasionally makes comments in the back of Brooke's mind. Augmentation has implied in the dream visions it imparts that it has had many bearers that it says have "fallen into the abyss." While its most recent previous bearer, Shaymin, had Augmentation forcibly removed the Aspect speaks in a way that implies most of its previous bearers could not handle the sheer scope of its power and succumbed to it.

Probability - Cause and effect, choice and consequence, all things and one. Eccentric and, frankly, headache-inducing this Aspect appears as some sort of strange tree with a singularity in its core. It is the most forthcoming with information, but so far has been in contact with its Vessel, Ralph, the least out of the Aspects borne by the main members of Team Cheer. Currently it appears to give Ralph the ability to manipulate the results of his Metronome move and more recently move energy in the form of stat boosts to different stats.

Connection - That which binds all things good and bad along the path of life. It has appeared to Tucker, its Vessel, as a towering hound of darkness with a long mane that splits into tendrils with stars at their ends, galaxies swirling in its eyes. Connection is gentle but firm, and has expressed that denying bad connections is the same as stagnation, and stagnation to be the equivalent of death. This has been extrapolated to mean that individuals are defined by both their good and bad experiences and to deny and ignore this would be the same as no longer living. Connection's power is abstract, but has manifested in Tucker's empathetic and sympathetic abilities, which allow him to better protect and understand others.

Vibration - An Aspect capable of agitating matter down to the atomic level bringing into different states of being. Bound to the Giant Vespiqueen.

Resurgence - An Aspect that manifested in Lizard when they evolved and became a Vessel. Its powers currently manifest in blue flame that seems able to restore the vitality of both Lizard and their allies.

Anathema - Something that is potentially an Aspect or a corrupted version thereof that belongs to Tiber. It seems to burn away the effects of Static and is referred to with derision by the Observers.

Necromancy - An Aspect manifested in the Mismagius that resided in the manor within the Silent Grove. Preying on her desperation to revive her lost love, the Aspect granted them the power to resurrect deceased entities, creating skeletal servants and returning spirits to the land of the living.
