The Val'Gara Glossary.

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Arrogance on Sun Jan 11, 2009 12:03 am

A couple cryptic terms are used when describing the val'gara, this dictionary will keep you up-to-date with the latest terminology when describing the val'gara.

Val'Gara Glossary:

Psi-Link: Psi-linking is the act of mentally coordinating thoughts with another being, usually the when the Val'Gara psi-link it's a Herald-level creature psi-linking with smaller, less intelligent grunts. What Psi-linking does is it allows all the units to share the same intelligence and perfectly coordinate around one another, thus exponentially increasing just how deadly the Val'Gara ground units are.

Evolution: The Val'Gara, once Psi-linked, also share similar physical traits, when exposed to a single attack, ability, technology, over time they begin to develope an immunity. Usually it depends on the Herald that is commanding the ground troops, this status effect is most noteably added once (link)Anathema is controlling the Cataclysm troops.

Bio-Force: Bio-force is the energy within real space/time that creates, maintains, or destroys. Within the current universe, all beings are capable of utilizing bio-force, not just the Val'Gara, and all beings have Bio-Force. It is the essential of the universe, and through sophisticated utilization of it you are able to create constructs, sometimes even complex spatial anomalies, through bio-force. You are able to completely erase something from existance with negative bio-force, and humans use a certain type of internal bio-force just to keep living. Bio-force is susceptible to time in the act of the older one gets, the less efficient their bodies run, the less bio-force they contain, of course there are always loopholes to this.

Val'Gara: The Val'Gara is a hostile alien race that has a sort of pilgrimage that makes many of the larger powers of the Val'gara go out and obtain bio-force. The reason they absorb bio-force is to keep their makeshift Sun from going out, as it is powered by pure bio-force. Then, the Behemoths harvest the Bio-force in the form of solar rays, almost as if it were a plant photosynthesizing. The Behemoths are only able to harvest Bio-Force though, then colossus is powered through the roots of the Behemoths, allowing it to consume a rather copious amount of Bio-Force. Once Colossus absorbs the Bio-force it is able to create new larger powers, more Dreadnaughts, more Sentinels, Behemoths, Leviathans, and send most of them out for the Pilgrimage.

Cataclysm: The name of the military force of the Val'Gara. They were named in english "The Cataclysm" because of the massive amount of numbers in which they flood in, and like a flood or a terrible catastrophe, they usually tend to leave nothing behind.

Herald: The Herald is a ranking given to those who are converted through the Vesuvian virus, through this virus they are converted into organic replicas with extraordinary abilities that vary many times. Their intelligence and knowledge on their own race are retained, so that the Val'Gara can exploit this knowledge, and interface with their technology.

Draedite: A powerful, extremely dense metal that is capable of growing, via solar rays or bio-force dissolution. Draedite is never found outside of Colossus because due to it's unstable nature it would combust if it were not within the perfect atmospheric pressure.

Draedamantium: Like Draedite, Draedamantium is a very powerful metal, that does not combust in any sort of atmospheric pressure, even the vacuum of space. However, as a downside, Draedamantium does not grow through solar bio-force, but it simply diffuses it, taking none for itself. Draedamantium - if seen at all, would make a very effective armor.

Son of Idea: (Also known as Subordinate of Idea or SoI) The Son's of Idea are the highest ranking creatures within the Val'gara cluster, they are Dreadnaught, Leviathan, Sentinel, Behemoth and Colossus, with Colossus being the head of the entire faction.

Avatar: In the ranking hierarchy an Avatar is a step above Herald, it is given exclusively to the sentience that is located within an SoI, therefore making it a seperate title.
