WHAT IS A GREY?
> A grey is a dead or departed soul from the mortal world that did not
fall into the world of Black or White due to their choices in life.
> Greys appear as normal people, but muted, as if colors were missing from
their person, with only one bright vivid color. This color is a precious, valuable
treasure to the Grey, and the source of all their power in The World Between.
> The power that Greys possess is called "Color Attunement" and is
essentially a force of their own being. The color that shines brightest on a
Grey is the same color as their blood, their weapon, and their magics.
> Color Attunement requires the Grey to "consume" their color through physical
touch with their person or weapon, thus making them able to destroy colors, and
continue to exist in the World Between until they find peace. If battling a Color that
naturally consumes the same Color Attunement as the Grey, the power a Grey wields is severely weakened.
>If a Grey loses all of their grey, black, white, and color; they cease to exist.
> They are generally human, but can be born from ideas, thoughts, concepts, or other forms of creation. Animals, however, rarely become grey.*
> A nonhuman Grey would see others as it's own species; and a human Grey would see a nonhuman the same respectively. It is generally completely unaware to a Grey if they are speaking to one of their own world or not.
* For Group purposes, they will all be human for now.
WHAT IS ATTUNEMENT?
> Attunement is the term used to describe the color that is dominant on a Grey and used to fight against colors.
​
> A Grey's color is usually significant to them, either tied to a memory or a feeling from when they were alive. In a way, Attunement can easily be described as a reflection of an emotion, (Which is why Colors are rainbow). What this meaning or emotion is, remains up to player decision.
​
> Attunement forms your invoked weapon as an object of a solid color with very little to no shading, and is literally made of that significance mentioned above. It can be summoned, carried, ect to your character's preference, but the attuned color of their body stays relatively stagnant.
​
> When a grey touches an object that is of their attunement, the color returns to that object, even if it's another grey. Technically speaking, if two Greys held hands with equal parts of the rainbow in their attunement- they would both appear to be full color.
​
WHAT IS THE WORLD OF BLACK OR WHITE?
> No one really knows.
> The Worlds of Black and White are adjacent to The World Between, and overlap at it's edges. No one can enter them without being solid white or solid black, respectively.
> It is said that the world of Black is a land of freedom and exploration; the Land of White is Law and Order.
> You must give up your color, your grey, and yourself to join these voids.
> A grey can sentence a color to these realms by stripping them of their opposite, they cannot however strip another grey in the same process.
> Greys who choose to live in The World Between without ascending
tend to become "Semi Colors".
> Semi colors, unlike Colors, do not possess the same instabilities.
> They gather white and black shards to trade and stabilize themselves.
> Semi Colors sometimes possess bestial or monstrous traits such as
claws, teeth, eyes, or extra limbs; a mark of their colored nature.
> Otherwise generally appear as a desaturated, grey tinted being,.
> Semi colors lose their power to invoke weapons; making shard collection very difficult. The Color Attunement they possessed is leveled out to the same as all the other colors, appearing almost as normal people, only slightly dulled out. Exceptionally skilled Semi Colors appear almost identical to a human, often trading for shards to stabilize their appearance.
WHAT IS A SEMI COLOR?
WHAT IS THE WORLD BETWEEN?
> Like The Worlds of Black and White, the World Between itself is a mystery.
> It simply exists, tied to the worlds of Black and White; acting as an infinite space of overlap and generally the residence of all things that do not belong in the other worlds.
> The World Between could easily be considered a purgatory or limbo; where you atone for your indecision in life that lead to your becoming Grey.
​
> The World Between is infinite in space, consisting of a centric location with an endless sky and sea below.
> Fragmented worlds tend to float around the space, connected by ladders, ropes, staircases, or other forms of transportation. These worlds can be accessed so long as the connection is in place.
> The World Between is identical to the world of color; evolving and changing as it does. However, many observant Greys have noted a distinct lack of "shading"- as if shadows and highlights almost didn't exist. Some, however, barely notice it. In rare occasions, it appears to have no colors at all to some. The six senses are often tricked here, some appearing to disappear or not.
> The World Between seems to appear as unnatural to the residents as they perceive it to be, often changing to them over time. This is considered natural, and just part of how this world functions.
> Occasionally, the barriers between The World Between and The World of Color wane; allowing Greys to see the mortals that walk the other side. This is considered a semi-uncommon occurrence and typically happens on "spiritual" times such as Halloween and Solstice events.
WHAT IS A COLOR?
> A color is a spirit or figment of a former Grey or being from the world of color that went rouge. Unable to accept that they were lost or dead, they were driven mad by their desire to be come part of the World of Color again.
> Color's are extremely aggressive to Greys, feeding on their color, black, and white in order to sustain themselves and gain access to the World of Color.
> If they can gain enough energy from their prey, Colors can become visible to the mortal world for a short time. This has resulted in the concept of mythologies, legends, and more; generally most cryptids are either Greys themselves, or former Colors before being dispatched.
​
> Colors, before they are defeated, take a random shape of their choosing; most appear as some sort of monster with glowing, prismatic eyes and nearly neon blood.
​
> After defeat, they take the form of their former selves, only undulating a mass of rainbow colors with a high, striking vibrancy. Like a cloud, this rainbow will not leave them and generally masks most of their true form; but in this state they can be dispatched to the World of Black or White or spoken to.
> A Color can return to being Grey if defeated, but doing so is frowned upon. A broken wheel, doomed only to repeat and endanger others again.
WHAT IS THE WORLD OF COLOR?
> The Mortal Realm; where all grey things come from.
> The most common variant of the world of Color known to you is probably Earth and it's surrounding galaxy, but The World of Color much like the World Between is far more expansive than this, extending different dimensions.
> The World of Color is adjacent and in the same space as The World Between, walking the same streets, same pathways, and the same scenery. This world has a direct effect on the World Between, where the world between has little effect on the World of Color; save for when a Color slips into it.
> This is generally the world as you know it.
