Breakers

When one's soul overflows with resolve- and reaches the height of its emotions, the connection between their essence and the mana within them will link to awaken their "**breaker**".

Breakers are the typically product of a life things manifesting their mana/ether with the intent of attaining something at any cost, thus drawing out the true potential of their soul. With this form of ether synthesis being extremely varied, yet likened to one's feelings or emotion toward something- it is highly believed that a person who awakens such a power must meet a certain criteria for it. In other words, many believe it to be destiny that chooses who can and cannot use these abilities. Inversely, there are people who believe it to be rooted in science still, despite already being rooted in the incredible existence of mana to begin with.

And there are those that seek to redefine it altogether, and much likely go even further in terms of discovering the true capacity of what these abilities are. The Breaker Foundation comes to mind when it comes to this, or these things in general. That doesn't make them the only group of people, or furthermore people at all who incessantly purse the truth, limits, and capabilities of these things. The most commonly accepted definition of a "breaker" is a being breaking their limits, and awakening to the power within them that is a new beginning, as well as one with the capabilities of brining about an end.

As of right now, there are two categories in which breakers tend to fall into, in terms of what they tend to be. Even so, they aren't necessarily restrictive, and more so are a means of categorizing the types of abilities one who manifests a breaker tends to be capable of. And those categories are that of the **Cardinal Breakers**, and then the more rare **Unorthodox Breakers**. As suggested by the names, the Cardinal Breakers are a set of breaker abilities, 5 to be exact that fall under certain categories in terms of what they're able to achieve. These breakers have appeared within the world enough to be given specific categories too, and are relatively common within the world as such.

These breakers are listed below:

• Spatial Breaker, which grants the user manipulation of physical objects and/or matter without physical means.

• Distortion Breaker, that gives the user the capability of transporting themselves and other things through space through teleportation or the usage of portals.

• Climate Breaker, giving its user control over the weather around them to varying degrees.

• Chrono Breaker, allowing the user to manipulate the flow of time.

• Biology Breaker, whose users can manipulate organic existences- including their own.

Of course, if these Cardinal Breakers were let to run rampant and left unchecked, they'd be insanely difficult to keep within check. But despite the presence of mana within the world, things remain alright even so for the most part as we know it, and these abilities are no exception. Those who who are able to unleash breakers must refine and master them- which is far from easy. At all. It fits the term 'easier said than done' very well, as even with the incredible potentials of those types of powers, they still tend to vary in what they are, and how powerful they are. More detail on these 5 breakers will be listed.

That being said, the Unorthodox Breakers are similarly incredible in the regard of potential, and are simply put Breaker abilities that go beyond what makes a Cardinal what it is. As such, them being unique obviously means it's incredibly **rare** and impossible for the most part for two of one Unorthodox Breaker to exist. Even if this somehow were to happen, that doesn't make that potential ability a Cardinal in the sense that it'd still differ enough to stand alone.

..Even so, no Breaker is truly the same.

*As the users' soul synthesizes with fate, their ether will manifest a vessel that deems fit to their power*.

࿐ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Power must be contained, and Breakers are no exception. Upon the power's conception, a physical item will act as that Breaker's vessel, or "Linked", whether that item was physically present on the person prior to awakening or is manifested in accordance to the user's desire.

Most often these Linked take the shape of:

• Weapons

• Accessories

• Clothing

Though of course, it truly could be \*anything\* should it fit their desire. It's a a manifestation of the \*soul\*, after all.

As for what happens when your Linked breaks...

``` ```

> \*\*ʟɪɴᴋᴇᴅ ᴇᴠᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ.\*\*

The Linked is a manifestation - a symbol and representation of a Breaker - of a person's soul. Should that Breaker, and subsequently that person's soul, grow stronger, the Linked must follow suit, evolving so as to contain that increasing strength.

All shapes of Linked will grow more durable and capable with the user's growth, but the most obvious evolutions from the \*outside\* are those of weapons. Such is the case due to a weapon's single given purpose as such. This increased capability for this said purpose shows in features like blades, lengthening or changing shape entirely, or obtaining unique properties tied to the Breaker's newfound capabilities.

``` ```

The soul overflowing with resolve, once again, fueled by a burning desire that cannot be ignored; the ceiling is shattered revealing the infinite skies of potential that once laid dormant. The limit broken once again, relying solely on the strength of will alone your resplendent soul shines brightly at the apex of your rebirth -- evolution.

Breaker Evolution, an extremely rare occurrence even amongst the most powerful of Breaker users. An evolution requires three conditions: mastery over the Breaker, enough strength and experienced needed to handle their newfound power, and a dire situation typically life or death. Once met the Soul evolves using the emotional high as a catalyst to break beyond ones limits.

Evolution varies widely amongst each other a Chrono Breaker could result in the reversal of time or it could result in the complete erasure of it. As such, an evolutions result is highly unpredictable; though they still follow their classification type. No Chrono evolution will include abilities that a Biology Breaker might have. In accordance to their prior classification Breaker Evolutions are given an acronym denoting the basic meaning of the evolution. Unorthodox Breakers due to their extreme variation lack an acronym and instead receive a formal name which embodies the essence of the Breaker as a whole.

RV, TK, HB, NL, and LP

• Chrono RV, as a **Revision Vanquisher** their grasp on time has ascended allowing for either multiple manipulations such as halting time and reversing it or enhancing their ability far beyond its natural scope such as time acceleration to time skipping or erasure.

• Spatial TK, The **Telekinesis** of the average Spatial Breaker is amped up to the extreme; potentially allowing molecular manipulation or manipulation of surrounding ether allowing for a variety of uses, or further body manipulation such as flight or extreme vibration to amplify attacks.

• Biology HB, **Hemimetabola** the process in which a larva evolves. Molting and sprouting wings to take flight; Hemimetabola variants pushes a Biology Breaker beyond its natural limits; allowing them to move beyond the organic manipulating non-organic substances as they would organic substances. Or if their Breaker affected only their body would gain the ability to affect their surroundings and vice-versa.

• Distortion NL, **Non-Linear** evolutions vary wildly depending on the kind of distortion it is. A typical distortion that allows travel could now transport large sections of reality all at once or create a 'bubble' containing their own reality which they have control over. Or one that erases objects can now call upon what was erased or even restore them to their original state.

• Climate LP, All natural disasters have a **limiting point**, and upon evolution a Climate breaker can easily exceed that limit creating catastrophes which can total entire cities, turn a desert into glass, and create swathes of forests returning the world to its natural state.

• Unorthodox Breakers continue their trend of being uncategorizable, and as such their evolutions are both rare and powerful. For example, a Breaker that can steal other Breakers could evolve into using multiple of those Breakers at once, without a loophole, or combining Breakers to create even more powerful ones.

An evolution ability is extremely powerful and as a result, very exhausting. An evolution not only creates new abilities but also enhances previous ones allowing for a Climate Breaker better control and manipulation of their element prior or a Biology Breaker better manipulation and creation of organic material.

**To the next stage...**

**NOVICE** - A freshly awakened Breaker. While Breakers - due to their being products of one's soul - come with an intrinsic understanding of their function, this does not mean experience and repeated use do not affect one's proficiency with their power.

**ADEPT** - Becoming accustomed to the use of one's Breaker leads to increased efficiency, allowing more powerful/numerous activations before exhausting one's supply of mana. This doesn't take into account one's strengthening pool of mana in of itself, meaning even further reductions to overall ether cost.

𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 - Perfect control of one's base Breaker and its functions, including techniques varying its application. At this stage, the soul is once again ready to synthesize with the mana within; to forge an even greater power in order to shape the user's intention into reality.

**EVOLUTION** - The birth of even greater power, the first step into the realm of a Breaker's Evolution. As it is, this power is terribly taxing to draw upon at will, and is better reserved as a last resort, or a sure-fire finishing ultimate move, should it be an attack.

**CONTROLLED EVOLUTION** - Adaptation to the pure power provided by Evolution, allowing for several, albeit still draining, activations of their heightened abilities.

𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 - Mastery of even Evolution; another milestone of a Breaker's power, opening the potential for yet **another** destruction of one's own - as well as even the world's - limits. At this stage, the power of Evolution is fully integrated into their soul, and can be accessed just as easily as their previous base abilities.
