Index of Terms

Exponentiality - A name for a more generalized “grey goo effect”, where any living being with this property gets bigger when they swallow anything.

Spirit Color - A property all living things in Pixel Space have, essentially a “favorite color” that emerges from the depths of their soul and will never change throughout their life. This color is usually used as an accent color and works the way it does so that characters who come from other worlds would like their Pixel forms.

Soul - A Pixel character’s soul is many things, containing their data and Digital Signature, acting as a hook for character types like Astral, and acting as the character’s conscious mind.

Spirit - Pixel Spirits are almost never corporeal themselves, but they have their own consciousness, essentially functioning as the character’s “true self” (without any deception or disguises). For instance, even if a character adopts another identity, their Spirit won't. Light-users can speak to it to reveal this “true self” as well as possibly revealing information the character would usually not reveal themselves.

Arcanokinesis - Moving things with magic or mostly with magic. Also refers to Pixel Skills that usually require contact being usable from a distance.

Scramble (Pixel) - A special form of melting which also mixes the target’s mass into a single color. They remain conscious, but cannot tell where any part of themselves is.

Pixseal: A seal of Pixel Power that can be applied to almost anything with almost any type of seal (even magic ones)

Latent Skill: An ability granted by a Character Type, only usable by that Character Type.

Synergy: A special ability of Pixel characters to temporarily fuse mentally with another character, granting their powers as well as an Assist Skill based on the other character that is used in tandem with them. Powerful Synergy in Pixel Space can cause physical changes as well, resulting in both parties adopting physical characteristics from each other.

Resonance: A character’s reaction to songs that they relate to. When certain songs play for certain characters, the character’s very being resonates, providing a number of positive effects including but not limited to motivation, enhancement of abilities, physical or magical in nature, and gaining new abilities temporarily. Resonances don’t have to cause any visible effect, and the chills people tend to get from certain songs are referred to as a Resonance.

Digital Signature: A trait that all Pixel characters have that allows others to display a hologram (that is also called a Digital Signature) containing the other character’s entry and details like available Skills by focusing on them. Non-Pixel characters can display the Digital Signatures of Pixel characters as an extension of the Pixel character’s power, but it cannot be moved and must be dismissed to be redisplayed in a different place. If a location isn’t specified, the Digital Signature hologram displays in front of the one displaying it. If a character doesn’t want a Digital Signature of another character to be displayed, it won’t be.

Soulbond: A property Souls and Spirits share that makes them connected, effectively preventing most Spirits from leaving the body. It must be severed in order to release the Spirit, but there are no known negative effects from doing so. The Spirit can be accepted into the body of the character again, but this is true for all characters at that point. When a Dreamspirit connects with a certain character, their Soulbond is reforged so that the benefits of it can still be realized. This term is used to refer to a character mainly for Dreamspirits, in which case it refers to the character who has a Soulbond with them.

Conversion: The name for the process of a character of a certain character type digesting a character either of a different character type or no character type, which causes them to respawn as the pred’s character type as soon as their soul is allowed to. Does not work or only works on part of certain character types, in which case that will be explained in their entry.

Presence Dissonance: Something that only occurs currently based on how the characters work, Presence Dissonance is the difference of skill or ability to do something mentally that they can do canonically, but I can't, leading to a certain feeling in that character's presence somewhat akin to dysphoria. It can be mild or severe depending on what is missing. It's also the reason Lucy doesn't like to be called.

Light-face: A pair of eyes and a mouth manifested on most Pixel things that are living yet do not have a face normally (such as characters transformed into liquids) and appears to have no depth, which may make it appear as if they cannot eat, but they definitely can.

Secondary Framework : A property non-Pixel characters, characters in non-Pixel worlds, or characters from those worlds will have. Designates the rules the character's being follows, in accordance with the world they're in. Abilities and other properties will be modified as needed, but are generally not added by this alone. In situations where a character with one that places a condition on some of their existing properties or abilities and said condition is no longer fulfilled, priority will be given by Spirit Property to properties and/or abilities and only the highest priority ones will be kept, up to and including the threshold at which this would no longer be necessary. If able, the character will regain the highest priority discarded abilities and properties as they become stronger. The condition only applies to the situation, however localized, and once this character is either temporarily or permanently no longer a part of it, their discarded abilities and properties will be restored. This has various applications for different SFs, but only a few are known at this time.
