Demi Forms

Demi Forms refers to the several school of combat styles used by the Demi. Demi Forms were created to compliment a Demi's power and allow them to overcome a challenge, by focusing their power and skill into a well developed style of fighting.

Demi forms are well rooted into Demi culture and training, there are 14 main Demi Forms, any other Form developed which does not allign with the 14 main forms, comes under the Form X category.

Though the 14 main Forms are universal throughout Demi factions, certain factions and individuals develop their own forms, more suited to what they do.

## History

Demi Forms were developed during the early stages of Demi history, 90,548 - 90,540 BSI. Developed by the Original Demi, forms were developed as a result of 1-12 gaining powers, using their powers, the Original Demi began to study the soul and what extents it could be used to, from this 1-12 developed the Demi Forms as a method of protecting the people of their village.

As more Demi began to appear, the Original Demi founded The Demi Temple, as a safe place for Demi to study the soul and become stronger.

Throughout the Demi history the 14 Main forms have been tweaked and improved, through new generations of Demi, new technological advancements and new threats to Demi kind, however the core of the Forms remain the same.

##### Medium

The Medium Discipline of Form 1 was the study of medium speed, medium attacks. This discipline focused on an equilibrium of speed and damage in an attack.

The Medium Discipline used the Beam, Laser, Medium Bolt, Fire, Water, Nature, Lightning and Orb styles.

##### Slow

The Slow Discipline of Form 1 was the study of slow speed, large attacks. This Discipline focused on large high damaging attacks, often used to extremely overwhelm a single enemy or defeat multiple enemies.

The Slow Discipline used the Wave, Water, Nature, Large Bolt and Lightning Storm Styles.

##### Support

This Discipline was the least common used of the Form 1 Disciplines, however mastering this discipline could hold great potential. The discipline taught how one could use their Soul to create defensive walls and barriers, along with ways of using your Soul to support teammates or negatively effect enemies, without causing direct harm. This discipline was often used by Demi of the Koutei meditation, as it required a large Soul to create many of the defensive or supportive techniques. The Support Discipline used the Water, Fire, Nature, Air, Earth, String and Rune Styles.

##### Ranged

The Ranged Discipline of Form 1 was the study of ranged attack using only one's Soul. The ranged discipline was a long-ranged offensive discipline.
