The Void

A chaotic world that exists in parallel to our own. Some are born sensitive to it, others become sensitive to it after direct exposure. Knowledge of The Void is limited but two things are apparent; it is powerful and it is destructive.

Void Corruption
Void Corruption is an umbrella term that encompasses the stages of The Void's influence over an individual. Reversing the effects of Void Corruption is a difficult task and, the further along the stages an individual has progressed, the more difficult it will be to return them to normal.

> Void Essence
Void Essence is the Void's presence inside a person. It is vulnerable to corruption, but is not dangerous on its own. Although, some individual Void Users have the ability to remove Void Essence from other people. Those with the Void Essence within them can contact each other telepathically.

> Void Sensitivity
Void Sensitivity can be seen as the first stage of Void Corruption. At this stage, regardless of whether the individual was born sensitive to the Void or was made sensitive to it by being directly exposed to it (i.e. they've gone through a rift torn open by another Void Sensitive [see list of powers for more information]), they will be constantly aware of the Void's presence and have some degree of control over Void powers.

> The Call
The Call is the second stage of Void Corruption, wherein the individual's sensitivity to The Void is increased significantly. For a comparison, first stage Void Sensitivity would be a faint itch - mildly bothersome but easy to ignore - whereas second stage Void Sensitivity would feel more like a rash or a mild ache.

In addition to the individual's Void Sensitivity being heightened, they would also feel an urge to spread death and destruction. Trying to satisfy this urge is paradoxical, as the more the urge is satisfied, the more blood will need to be spilled to satisfy it the next time. Satisfying The Call through use of Void powers will cause the amount of destruction needed to satisfy it to increase at an exponentially higher rate than if one were to satisfy their urge through traditional means.

Users
Not many people have been proven to be able to control The Void. Most that try fall to its power and become a mindless puppet, or just die. There are three characters that can control The Void's power. They are Chris, Monika, and Brian. Each has the stock abilities of teleportation, destructive force, and rift access. Every User also has unique abilities that they use for their own goals and desires.
