Aion

Translated/Modified image from Taimanin Saga

The **Aion** (**異界**/**アイオーン**) are the ancestors of the Taimanin, Vampires and other demonic bloodlines. Also called the "Inhabitants of the realm that envelops the world" (Mother Sea), and masters of gravity.

They have so far been only mentioned and have not appeared.

## History

The Aion came from the Mother Sea many thousands of years ago, from the higher planes of the Mother Ocean and Otherworld. Able to move through the Lilith Multiverse, they visited the dark world and human world. As a result, they birthed the first Vampires in the Dark World while some migrated to the Human World around the Ancient Period. Changing into the Taimanin ancestors or progenitors, those more demonic beings interbreed with the Human population.

The Aion at some point disappeared from both realms, and their current status or realm is unknown. Based on how the Aion are mentioned, it is unclear if the Aion are a powerful species or a single individual, god-like being. As a result of mixing of bloodlines of different dimension, the Taimanin and the Taimanin Clans were created. Some of the Taimanin migrated to the Dark World and became the Ryoumanin.

The Aion seem to have a connection to the Inner Demons and Edwin Black, as these have hidden knowledge about those progenitors.

## Trivia

* Special Thanks to RadioYolk of the Taimanin Fans Discord for help with the translation of the image.
* The word **aeon** /ˈiːɒn/, also spelled **eon** (in American and Australian English), originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation" or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity".
* Plato used the word *aeon* to denote the eternal world of ideas, which he conceived was "behind" the perceived world, as demonstrated in his famous allegory of the cave. As the Aion exist outside the normal Universe within the Otherworld or Mother Ocean, which lies behind the perceived world, this seems intentional.
	+ This also fits with some of the statements of Edwin Black, who did mention that the Inner Demon transformation is like pulling the "true soul" from the mother ocean into the world. (Something that could be understood as the "ideal/idea form")
* Taimanin, in a sense, are born of a mixture of two species of different dimensions. Taima Particles, so the assumption of scientists like Kotani Kenji are able to move through dimensions. The Aion themselves also travel through realms very easy. All these elements might be linked thanks to the Aion bloodlines.
* Edwin Black, somebody very informed about the Aion just as the Demon Asagi can manipulate gravity, something that the Aion are known for. As primal vampires are the closest to the Aion, his powers seem to be a direct result of this.
* Black also has the title of Archeon. In Gnosticism these might be considered a subspecies of Aeon/Aion both spirits of their own realm of ideas. Aion are feminine, chaotic but good while Archeon are masculine, orderly and morally dubious. The Archeon are creator of worlds like the demiurge and the Aion are connected to the soul and the inner self. It is unknown if this could be the intention.
