Qi/Ki

## What is Qi/Ki:

* Well, **Qi** or mostly called **Ki**: is a form of energy, but very unique as it is an energy that every living being has, it is an energy that represents our: "emotions, will to life, as well as our determination to keep moving forward, to evolve ourselves, to by-pass our limits, to reach to the sky and beyond". You can say that ki is a flow of energy that everyone has inside as ki is our lifeforce.

### Ki presents:

* Like with magic marks, everyone has their unique ki, even tho ki is always the same it doesn't mean that the ki that imitates from people's bodies is also the same. Ki presents are an aura of your life energy which means that two people can't have the same ki presents, even if there are twins, the twins don't have the same ki, there might be similar but are not identical.

### Qi/Ki vs Magic:

* Oi/Ki i and Magic are similar, as both of them are a form of energy, that exists and is part of everything.

* Ki users just like magic users, have their own unique "magic mark" or "ki presents".

* "Magic mark" and "Ki presents" are similar but there is a key difrence, as a magic user that uses its magic to hide, you can't see nor find him unless you have some sort of ability that allows you to see some small particles of magic like **Jennifer night eyes**, with is different, as each person has its ki presents, a ki user can find the person that hides, as it is impossible to hide its ki (when you can't sense someone ki it means he is either dead, or far away, or in different dimension/universe)

* Ki and magic are two different forms of energy that work in their unique way and have different ways of functioning and, people that use them are using different methods of harnessing and using that energy.

* Magic is constantly evolving and can take an unimaginable number of forms and ways of using it, however, Qi/Ki is unchanging it has the same form and goes the same way. (in simple terms Magic is like a river, while Ki is like a mountain

* Magic has an infinite source that will end only when all that it was and will be created, will be gone forever, with Ki you can say that it also has an infinity source however the ki can be gone when its user will die, as ki represents the lifeforce energy of a user.

### Ways to use qi/ki:

* There are 3-ways of using ki in Undercore:

* **Seeing with ki:**
	+ Some ki users use ki to see even tho they are blind. And how the blind person that uses ki can see, well it is simple but complicated to use, for a blind person to see they either: "sharpen their senses to sense and see other people's Ki" or "expand their own Ki presence, by creating their Ki aura that is like a bauble of energy that exists outside/surrounds the user body, you can say that it is an expanded neuron system that informs you what is ahead or next to you" (Some people use that bauble to increase their defense during battle).
		- By expanding their own Ki presents, the user that expends his ki, can not only sense and feel others' ki, but it is also a very good way, to find people that are hiding, as well it is very good, as a danger detector, as you can feel as someone dangerous is coming, a person or an animal (you can tell that has hostile intention towards you, as the blood lust is pretty obvious). However it doesn't work against unliving objects such as a knife that is through at you, it doesn't mean that you can't sense an object that entered your ki presence but your reaction time to is slower.

* **Ki infusion:**
	+ Ki infusion is a rare way of using Ki, as not only it is hard to sustain this ability for a long road, but also cause it is not something easy to be done.
		- Ki infusion is simple but very advance, it works when you expand your ki and infuse/covers an unanimated/unliving object, with your ki, you can use this ability to infuse some object with your ki to confuse people that trying to sense your ki. In some cases when you infuse your ki with a sword you can create a small aura around that sword, and when you attack someone and that person will dodge he may get cut by the aura that surrounds the blade but that is very rare, even the oldest and greatest Ki users of all time bearly could do the blade aura.
		- There is also a risk when you do a ki infusion: When you use ki infusion on the sword, he mostly after/post-fight returns the ki that he infuses to a sword back to his body, but when someone infuses their ki in an item (rock, dager, etc.) and throw it far away to make enemies confuse, and that person doesn't return his ki in 34 hours, the ki that he/she infused to that item will disappear, and when tis disappear you basically lose your life spend, but the lost of its life-spend depends on how much ki you infused to a specific item, as you can lose days, weeks, years, or even decades if you you infuse to much ki into an item and won't retrieve in less then 34 hours.

* **Ki impact:**
	+ Ki impact is a very rare way of using ki, that works similar to the ki infusion but differently in shot the one that uses ki impact, concentrates all ki energy into one part of his body and disburses the moment when you touch your opponent, you using your life force as a form of energy/impact to knock down your opponent, in other words, imagen that you got shot and the bullet went right through, but in place of a bullet, you put Ki. However it is a very dangerous way of using ki as if you don't have enough ki inside your body, or you are bad at using ki at all, you may die in the same way as the one that discovers this way of using ki, the person that discovers this ability died at the age of 32 when it used against its opponent, the user died, and the opponent had his souls cracked, and broken bones.

## Know ki users:

* Yami;
* Bonny;
* Doggo;
* Edward;
* Kamala (altho she is unaware she subconsciously is using ki);
* Most people from Okami;
* Okame;
* Eliash/the primordial of time (he had a lot of time to learn about ki);

## Levels of using ki:

* They are five levels of ki users:

1. **Noob:** You don't know anything about ki.
2. **Beginner:** It means that you are at the level of a person that learned the fundamental meaning of ki, and you can to senses your ki.
3. **Average:** You know how to sense other people's ki, tell the difrence between them, and in a small way utilize your ki with an unanimated object
4. **mastery:** The people on this level are masters at using ki, able to utilize ki with weapons, and scan a whole building to find one person.
5. **Transcendent:** This level was reached only by a few people, that not only show an impressive way of controlling ki but by the very amount of ki that they possess. They have such big ki and ki control that they can cover an entire village (some were even able to cover half a city) with their ki, but also as they can use all four types of ki without a risking their lives..

## facts about ki:

1. Ki or Qi was originally called Chi, as momentum to its first recorded user Orochi;
2. Orochi is the first one on the planet **Geneiz** to use ki, that's is why people see him as the inventor of Ki;
3. Ki is similar to magic, as both are a form of energy;
4. Ki is an abstraction/version of the **primary force of life and Energy;**
5. Some people that use ki to see without the eyes, the ones that use Ki in this way, see the world differently, as one of them once says "I can see through ki, and it is a beautiful way of seeing as I can see the flow of every living being";
6. Ki is sometimes referred to as a flow of natural energy, a flow of energy similar to magic but different at the same time;
7. There are many ki users on **Okami island,** as most ki users that Orochi trained, either go and were already there (the village, where Orochi lived, was where the current capital of Okami island is);
8. Some ki users are capable to expand their ki so far that their ki would cover an entire village or others that are able of infusing the unanimated object with their ki and make it last for a week, but that is not only rare but also must be on a level above master level also know as transcended level;
9. Ki impact was discovered 400 years later after Orochi's death, by a martian artist, named Kurumi, that was stated to be a genius at that and current time;
10. Ki impact is stated to be the most dangerous way of using ki, as Kurumi died at the age of 32 when she used that technique.
11. Some people consider Ki impact as a sacrificial method, as not many people show to survive this technique, not to mention even using it in the first place.
12. Ki is mostly used in martial arts, as ki is very compatible with martial arts, but also it compatible with sword arts.
13. Ki can be used in 2 different ways, in undercore.
14. To do stuff like Haki from one piece or ki blast from Dragonball you need to be from that verse. In undercore as well as in real life, you can't do that, and even if you could do that, you would have to sacrifice some part of your life force to do that.

## Origin of Qi/Ki in Undercore:

* How Qi/Ki has appeared inside Undercore, a universe full of magical entities. Well on some planets that never discover magic, they learned ki, on the different planets some other race or deity taught them that. Ki was always inside the undercore, but like magic, it needed to be discovered, just like it was discovered on planet Geneiz all those years ago:

* Long ago before or during the time of chaos, in a distant land, there was a human village, where a boy named Orochi was born, he was a normal boy, a son of a village leader, that wasn't good at performing or casting magic at all, but he had a great talent at using a sword, one day when he was 14 years old, he and his friends go to the woods, to gather some wood, however as they were gathering, an animal has attacked them, they were able to scare the beast, but at a cost that one of their friends lose an arm and Orochi lose his sight, and now has a scar all over his face. Orochi not being able to use magic and to this added being blind, was criticized by many people, as he was meant to be the next head of the village, so Orochi's younger sister become the new head, as he alone has decided to leave the village as he knew that he is good as death with that condition that he is. And so he left and was never seen for the next 8 years, no one knows what happened to him throughout those 8 years or how he survive, but as it is written: "that during those 8 years I was able to learn how to see with my eyes, I now see a world differently but the same as you" - Orochi. Later on, Orochi taught his way to a few people whom he says are worthy of teaching, the way of seeing that he sees, and so he slowly taught them how to use ki, and so the village accepted him back, and that village was the first village that learned how to use Ki (or as they called at that time Chi, as momentum towards Orochi that sadly past away 7 years later after he returned, as he died cause of a disease).

* And that's how the Qi/Ki or Chi ever you prefer to call it, was introduced on planet Geneiz, but how Orochi learned it, well there were many stories, but the truth is written inside a scroll that he gave to his most trusted student that passes down that scroll through the generation of his family. The scroll explains that during those hard long 8 years, he slowly starts becoming one with nature and learned how to see even tho he normally couldn't at that period. The story also says about how to use Ki in different ways, as well as how ki and magic are similar in the basic construction but different in the concept of understanding.
