Ki (気; pronounced "Kee"), also known as chi, Yōki (妖気) or simply energy (エネルギー, enerugī), is the life force energy used by DOW/YMRP characters. This energy also bears some realistic tendencies being that it is "used" in the real life martial arts, such as Kung Fu and Tai Chi. Ki/Chi is made up of three components: Genki (元気; lit. "Energy"), Yūki (勇気; lit. "Courage") and Shōki (正気; lit. "Mind"). Also, ki can be "positive" or "negative", depending on the user.
Ki is also known as "latent energy" or "fighting power." Which directly translates as "life force." This force is a tangible energy inside every living being, with its major focus being in the center of the body. By drawing it out, an individual is able to manipulate it and use it outside the body. Ki can be used for many different techniques. Because there are physical limits to the strength of the body itself, it is necessary to increase one's ki to overcome this barrier and become stronger. Usually, the more concentrated the masses are, the more time the user requires to draw it out by powering up. When fighters gather ki, they are able to gain enhanced strength, speed, endurance, and can increase the power of their attacks to inflict greater damage to opponents. Normally, the more the ki is increased, the harder it is to control, so ki control is also important. Energy can be lost when the user sustains injuries as well however.
Ki can take on a neutral form of energy, it is said that one's own ki can take on elements one is more sympathetic with; as such, various elemental energies like flame and electricity are seen.
According to supplementary materials, its temperature throughout the series is also said to vary upon one's disposition and internal motives as well, regardless of one's manifestations; those motivated with negative emotions are said to have cold and cool ki, those who fight with extroverted passion and a sense of justice are said to have lukewarm ki, those who fight for the sake of improvement and justifying their need for combat are said to have warm ki, and those who use Psycho Power are said to have blazing hot ki, due to how the negative ki redirected but without anywhere to direct itself to manifest by the Psycho Drive's mechanics, becomes extremely erratic due to it being stored.
The Orgin of The Energy Anatomy[]
Before breaking down this three base setup. Another topic must be introduced first and foremost. The two creators of Dark and Light Chi, Ki, Hadou etc are known as Yami ( mother of dark Hadou ) and Junsei ( mother of Light Hadou ). Both Detites were the daughters of The Keyo. And both are the reasons for Light and Dark Hadou and other energies Today. Because of the war and massive battle they had with one another. Their bodies were lost, but there godily souls will forever live within this universe. They did not create the HUMAN anatomy, or any other alien entity anatomy. But on acident and through their births, they created another form of Anatomy. The ' Energy Anatomy. ' The Keyo created his daughters similar to Human form and anatomy. But due to them being direct decendants of the creator of all. They had another seperate anatomy that made them unique. It was a mutation, and was never meant to be used. A birth Defect And this was Chi. This Energy Anatomy is within all beings in this universe. Some other creatures do not use this Anatomy, but its still there. Just not accessible to them.
However, Humans seem to be the most adept in the Energy Anatomy's usage, along with other races like The Killians, and The Dragoons, The Oni's etc. Yami was malicous and malificent. While Junsei had been Benvolent and loving. And these details are the main component in whichcreates the basic Chi sources which are Dark and Light Hadou. Depending on the user, if their character is evil or sadistic in nature. Then the soul of Yami will take them, and they will be able to use the same dark power she could tap into. Or if the user is Kind and caring, then Junsei's soul will cling onto them and they will be able to use the same power she used as well.
The Chi Pathway[]
The Energy Anatomy is broken up into 4 things. The 1st Chi chambers, the 2nd and the thrid chi chamber. Which are all based around the basic components of chi. Mind, body/heart, and soul. And the fourth addition to the Energy Anatomy is the Chi-Path ways. Which are the chi veins that look similar to blood veins within the human body. These Chi-Chambers are based around the Chi-Form and the Chi bases.
The 1st Chi Chamber[]
Thw 1st Chi Chamber is located within the pitt of the Stomach. Which is also known as the Soul Chamber. And is the same chamber where the Chi Form is identified. In Example if you have light hadou, dark, twilight, Demon energy, etc. This is where it will be located. Also where the users chi base will be located.
The 2nd Chi Chamber[]
This Chi chamber is known as 'The Heart Chamber ' or ' The Body Chamber 'and is extremly hard to unlock. One must seek out a Hadou Master of some sort to help unlock this skill. All hadou Masters have different ways to unlock this chamber. If this chi chamber is unlocked then the user would be able to do two things ( meaning having to pick one or the other. ) Either advance there orginal Chi. Or.. gain another chi base in general. This more then likely the highest one will reach within Chi-Chambers.
The 3rd Chi Chamber[]
This Chi Chamber is known as ' The Mind Chamber '. Only Grandmasters have the skill and ability to break through this Chi-Chamber and reach ultimate power. Just like the 2nd chi chamber. You have two options. Either Advance your current Chi-Base. Or pick another one. YOU CANNOT HAVE MORE THEN ONE ADVANCED LEVEL OF CHI BASES. This by far the hardest to unlock with methods that are cleary unknown.
Chi Manipulation[]
The ability to manipulate the flow of one's physical energy. A physical variation of Life-Force Manipulation and comparable to Aura Manipulation.

Chi Forms[]
Satusi No Hadou[]
The Satsui no Hadou (殺意の波動, Satsui no Hadou, literally "Surge of Murderous Intent"), also known as the Dark Hadou (ダーク ハドウ, Daaku Hadou, Dark Surge), is a type of chaos energy and a demonic force.
Satsui no Hadou is a form of Ki that emanates greatly from oneself through the darker aspects of natural human instinct and the desire to survive, to trample, and impose over opposition, and on a metaphysical level, the natural occurrence and manifestation of loss, decline, and destruction.
To tap into the ki of the Satsui no Hadou, a fighter must be so consumed with the desire to win or have such an intense rage, that they are willing to kill. Only people who push themselves to be the best at all costs, can take full advantage of it. So even with a high level in combat, there would still be much to be done.
For those who do succeed in controlling it, they develop a cold, cynical detachment from themselves, as well as others. As such, Satsui no Hadou makes a person unbelievably strong, but at the cost of one's humanity and compassion, making them emotionless almost or almost insane if decided to let it consume them.
Another side-effect of this power is that when a warrior embraces the Satsui no Hadou to their fullest extent, they will gain a lust to fight to the death, their eyes will turn white or red, and their beliefs in fighting become very dark and cold-blooded. The warrior's personality will also change and become very violent and dark. However, as shown in the case of Goutetsu, if one embraces it to a small degree, their eye's pupils will become blue, and they will have no willingness to destroy anything or anyone.
Once a warrior has awoken the Satsui no Hadou within them, it can be very hard to resist. Learning Satsui no Hadou is the first step in learning the most fatal technique known to all of their martial arts, meaning everyone has a general knowledge but only when they train and master the martial arts can they fully use it. If one has used it to their fullest extent for too long throughout years of their life, they will transform into a demonic being, likely one similar to Oni.
Chikara no Hadou[]
The Chikara no Hadou (also known as Surge of Power) is Gouken's toned-down derivation of the infamous Satsui No Hadou (殺意の波動, literally "Surge of Murderous Intent"); a main difference is that the killing intent was removed. So basically, the same thing as the Dark Haudou, strength is the same with gain, but you don’t have the killing intent. True masters of this skill are so in tuned with nature they can even levitate to a certain degree.One the warrior is fully aware of their state of being within light hadou and has come to a state of ballance with themself, and their past. A select group of human beings trained in the Martial Arts, go through the process of "breaking" and "rebuilding" themself up, clensing themself of impure emotions, feelings and past events in their life.
Twilight Chi[]
User can create, shape and manipulate twilight, mixed essence of light and dark Hadou. A perfect mixture of dark and light, the mose potent blend. Just like the other chi forms, its able to be manipulated like the other forms. Many who train in martial arts gain superhuman capabilities by learning to harness Chi, which can be used in cases of extreme combat. With this ability, users are able to physically manifest all of their inner strength and unleash it to the fullest extent of it's power through shear force of will. The user can achieve extraordinary strength, speed, durability, and reflexes. In some cases, it is used for superhuman awareness, and sometimes invulnerability. However, twilight chi abilites and chi techniques cannot be replicated. Due to the fact that other users would have to have twilight chi to simply understand the concept.
Spirtual Energy[]
Spiritual Energy is basically a branch of chi energy. However unlike chi that involes the usage of the Mind, Body, and Spirit, Spiritual energy elemiinates two fo the three and dwindles it down soley to "spirit' or Reiryoku (霊力, Spiritual Power) and the oposite of Psycho Power.. It is a power aligned with the spiritual sensitivity and willpower of the user. Every spiritual being and every Human has a certain amount of Reiryoku. If this amount is higher than a certain degree, it grants the person superhuman abilities.[1] Those with such an above-average level of Reiryoku are very rare among living Humans. It seems to be that the most basic ability that Humans with a higher level of Reiryoku have is the ability to see non corporeal forms. It is very powerful if used correctly, and can be wielded by any spiritually aware human. However, the strength of the energy varies between persons. It is unique from person to person as fingerprints and voiceprints. Energy can be converted into weapons of pure energy, used to enhance the strength of body parts, as well as healing all through a form of medium i.e a momento special to the user, or some physical object with spiritual orgin that the spirt can gain conductivity through. The aforementioned emission of Spiritual Energy is a common and natural phenomenon, but a spiritual being can also control the degree of this emission, this usually requires a certain amount of skill and training By completely blocking his/her Reiryoku "pouring out", one can completely hide his/her presence from other spiritual beings and spiritually aware humans. On the other hand, amplifying this emission is known as Spirit Pressure, is considered a show of force, a means of intimidation or can even be an attack in itself. It can indeed paralyze opponents and cause direct damage to the surrounding individuals and inanimate objects alike .
Demon Energy[]
Can only be used by Demons and Alphabreds!!!!
Demon Energy (妖気, Yōki) or Demonic Aura is only by demons ( Not Oni ). Its strength varies greatly on the user. As stated by those whom have studied the termnology, Demon Energy is not always as strong as its counter part Sacred Energy, but it gives a pleasurable sensation. It is also often more potent than Sacred Energy, due to demons usually possessing far greater amounts of energy than humans and those of the angelic divine blood. Demon Energy can be powered by intense emotions.
Though this is rarely used due to the confrontational nature of demons, demons can harness this energy to heal themselves. Though those within lower ranks on the demon food chain are the only ones who show it, the fact that Stronger Demons will use their remaining energy to heal themself rather than to die out right, This proves that any demon is capable of healing themselves, only they rarely use it as demons tend to prefer using the energy for offense. Humans can use it, if they sign there soul over to The God/Gaurdian of The Demon world ( Hell. ) But it does have a great many side-effects. Like sending the user into a spiral of loss sanity, and morph the human into something rather ghoulish in nature.
Dragon Monk Chi[]
Note: This brand of energy is only exlcusive to Dragon Monks only. It can only be accessed and used in variation for a move that is learned form that style.
The Dragon Monk By summoning their chi, drawing form the specialties of all four spirits and focusing it into his hand/body, he can draw upon the superhuman energy derived from the heart of the four divine beast and make his fist inhumanly powerful and super humanly resistant to injury and pain on a superhuman scale. This "Dragon Fist" technique does not involve a physical transformation of any kind, simply a psychic channeling of concentrated chi energy and chi bases. With his fist in this state, the Dragon Monk combines the four properties into a mannor as such: using physical chi he strengthens his arm 10x the muscle mass of a peak human's strength, but condenses the muscle tissue as much as he can causing no physical change to the apperence of his hand. Fortification Chi not only helps in the condensing process but it completely encompasses the arm/hand in a thick layer of forified chi, rendering it virtually indestructible. Added to this is the other property of fortification which gives his arm a blade like edge, thouasands of tiny Madarins all resonated at a high frequency allowing his arm to virtually pierce anything it comes into contact with similar to a high frequency blade in principle. The Mental Chi aspect allows the Dragon Monk to use his accelerated mental function in a way that essentially gives him the ability to multitask the obsticles infront of him. He can not only one and sustain this energy, but his mind races at such a speed that allows him to process all possible outcomes he can think of, and see all variable moves his opponent could potentially make to counter him IF he knows his opponent well enough at this point. If not, there is a bonus as it increase his awarness to a superhuman state, all of his sense working in conjunction to give him a psuedo danger sense and react to any changes in his opponent or the enviornment infront of him. Finally the Destructive Chi aspect, which speaks for itself, causes the Mandarins resonating around his fist to gain the properties to destroy various if not any form of matter as long as they abide by the four states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma). This includes spirits or non coporeal forms as to be seen they must cross into this dimensonal plane, added to the fact that all Dragon Monks because of their unique Spirutal Pressure can attack these things at will.
Basic Chi Techniques[]
Pusshu Bakufu ( Push Blast )[]
At more powerful levels, Ones Chi or Hadou has the ability to create a telekinetic impulse via the power put into it, launching a concussive burst of pressurized air-not unlike the blast of an archaic 'pipe bomb'-that would impact a target with enough force to knock it over, launch it into the air, or even (particularly in the case of fragile materials such as ceramics) shatter it into pieces. The greater the user's Chi ability control, the larger the pressure differential, and thus the stronger the effect and the heavier the target. With practice, a skilled Chi user could increase the range and arc of the blast without lowering the average kinetic energy, creating a blanketed wave instead of a focused impulse. Truly gifted practitioners could generate a concussive blast that would radiate from them for dozens of meters in all directions, detonating with the Hadou of a conventional explosive. The user is able to form compressed explosions as a striaght punch of pressureized air to be projected out or thrown. When the highly moving pressurizd air comes into contact with a target, the air is released with force, from sudden gusts to hurricane force winds. With training, the user could be able to detonate the bombs at will or have several orbit the user.. this only works if the user is far away from there target by 50 feet or more. The longer the feet the faster and more potent of explsion radius.
- Able to send this various waves and blast.
- Can only use 3-4 blast a post anything over voided
- Warning! If someone begans to charge this technique, depnding on how many post they have set for it to charge, will determine just how powerful said force will be for the attack.
Ninpo[]
Ninpo are the mystical arts a ninja will utilise in battle. To use a technique, the ninja will need to use their chi. To perform a technique, the ninja will bring out and release the two energies of Chi which are Yuki and Shoki. By forming hand seals, the ninja is able to manifest the desired technique. Because of the extensive number of hand seals and different combinations, there are thousands of potential techniques to be discovered. ONLY THOSE trained under certain circumstances can use Ninpo. A certain clan within Dragon Kang known as ' The Eternal Flames ' Can use Ninpo freely however some clans on earth like ' The Infintes ' and other Shinboi clans have been known to use these techniques as well. ( Only Ninja styled characters can use Ninpo. And you must seek an adminstrator out before attempting to make useage. )
The Four Principals of Chi[]
The Four Principles of Chi (カイの4つの原則) are the four basica and subconcious principles everyone has to learn in order to manipulate chi. These principles are manditory, but common knowledge to all Hadou masters. They aren't normally taught anymore, due to the fact that in the generations that have come, these principles are imbeded into genetics as "natural feelings" howver they do exsist. When chi was first being modernized, humans came up with a system to categorize it, and organize it, as to use it to their whims and make it easier to understand step by step.
Horyu[]
Once a person has had their Chi nodes opened, they must learn to keep their Chi from leaking away from their body. Horyu (Hold) is the process of keeping the nodes open, but also having Chi flow through and around the body rather than away from it. Once maintained, it creates a shroud around the user that feels similar to standing in lukewarm, viscous fluid, which is how chi feels on the regular. Having a shroud of Chi surround the body is the most basic defense against the chi based attacks from other users of Chi. Horyu maintains youthful vigor and reduces one's aging; since the energy powering the body no longer leaks away, one can keep the body from breaking down and deter the aging process. Through frequent meditation, one can improve the quality of their Horyu. This is something every chi user learns to do at base.
Kakusu[]
While Horyu allows a user to keep Chi from leaking away from their body, Kakusu (Hide) stops the flow of Chi from their body altogether. By closing all of their Chi nodes, the user is able to stop almost all outflow of their Chi like water from a valve. Since the user is no longer surrounded by their own Chi, they are more sensitive to the Chi of others. This can be useful when tracking another person and it will also prevent other users of Chi from noticing them. Kakusu can also be used to relieve fatigue, since it forces the body's external layer of Chi to be fully contained within. However, since Kakusu involves shutting off one's Chi, it can be dangerous due to it leaving the body defenseless against any Chi attack. Even a weak attack enhanced with Chi could do massive damage. In essence this is what Keyth Tasanagi and Zetsui Ryukiri base their Stealth chi off of.
Tenkai[]
(Expand) is a direct application of Horyu. Since a user is capable of keeping Chi from leaking away from the body, it's also possible for them to produce more Chi around themselves without having to worry about losing it. Tenkai focuses on outputting a high amount of Chi and keeping it on the body, expanding the size and in of it. If Horyu is considered to be purely defensive, then Tenkai typically what is used for offense. This increases the user's physical Strength and durability and provides a large pool of Chi for any advanced techniques or individual skills they decide to use.
Ban[]
(Release) is the release or transmission of one's Chi so it can be projected to carry out a certain function. In essence, Ban is one's personal expression of Chi that creates a special and unique paranormal ability (colloquially called a Chi Ability). A good Ban should reflect a person's own character; one can never truly master Chi if they only copy other people's abilities. Basically this is a label for what a “chi technique” is like a push blast or a wave of fire.
Advanced Usage[]
- Shūchū
(Concentrate) is an advanced application of Ren by which a Chi-user concentrates a larger than normal portion of their Chi into one specific body part. Shūchū increases the strength of that one body part, but leaves the rest of the body more vulnerable. Shūchū is most often used in the eyes, allowing a Chi-user to see Chi and things which would otherwise be hidden (e.g. Chi objects hidden by In). This includes other peoples aruas, and enhanced vision which is really good for finding people who use Kakusu or
- Kieru
(Vanish) is an advanced form of Kakusu used to almost completely conceal one's Chi. However, unlike Kakusu, In does not require the user to stop their Chi flow, but hides it instead, making this technique perfect for launching a sneak attack or laying traps. In can be countered by using Shūchū in the eyes or through Enkei
- Enkei
(Radius) Chi usually envelops only a small amount of space around the user's body, but Enkei is when one extends their Tenkai so that their Chi extends further than normal, then uses Kakusu at the same time to give shape to the Chi, usually a sphere. Someone using Enkei can feel the shape and movement of anything entering their circle. This is the founding advanced technique that the Seikuken was stemmed from but without the reaction time portion. The downside to this is that it is extremely tiring and draining for the Chi-user to constantly deploy so much Chi. Those who master Enkei are typically able to extend their Enkei to a circle of a 50m radius. There are extordinary examples of people who have more radius such as Akira Tetsu, or Kin Tasanagi
- Ken
(Fist) is an enhanced version of Shūchū in which all of an individual's Chi is concentrated into one particular body part. Kakusu is used to completely stop the flow of Chi in all other parts of the body. This makes that one body part exceptionally powerful, but leaves the rest of the body completely unprotected. This is used by some Chi-users as an offensive technique (a Ken-punch would carry all 100% of your Chi with it), but it is a risky move — leaving the rest of one's body unprotected in a fight against another Chi-user is generally not a good idea. Ken results in one's Chi creating a high-pitched dissonance, somewhat akin to the sound of metal being ground. This is a basic chi technique that first timers usually learn when first developing chi usage.
Basic Chi Categorization[]
Chi is the life energy produced by all living bodies vital for survival. A Chi from all parts of the body has a tendency to flow together, producing one mass of energy. This happens without the individual's awareness, typically resulting in a slow leak of chi continually escaping the body. If one were to lose their chi entirely, it would be equivalent to using up all the energy keeping them alive, which would be fatal.Chi in the usual sense, is physical energy used to enhance the physical body through marital arts and high intellect. This has been common knowledge to all chi users and physical practioners. What has also been common knowledge is the fact that regardless of light haou, dark hadou, or any form of energy, it all usually breaks down into five basic categories that completely show the individual capabilities of chi and it's usges. This is often disregarded ,as most chi practioners who master the art can preform these abilties all at once and with much added finess. However any true chi user will study the basics, and understand how it works. This study is espcially useful for newer generational users of the art, who will in turn learn to master one of these to their fullest extents. There exsist five different aspects of chi manipulation: Physical, Mental, Alteration, Destruction, and Fortification
Physical: Physical is the ability to use aura to increase the natural abilities of an object or one's own body.Therefore,Physical chi users are able to greatly increase their physical attack and defense and are best suited for close-ranged melee combat. Physical chi usage is the most balanced category, allowing users to spread themselves evenly between offense and defense and become very strong using only simple abilities. One of the examples of more complex Enhancement abilities include enhancing one's healing factor. (out of battle)
Mental: Mental chi is the ability that focuses on brain activity and perception. It dictates the thought process, often reaching higher enlightments, new thoughts, even patterns, and stratigies that may have seemed impossible to comprehend or do before. Such a thing can allow the brain to be comprehensive of ones surroundings, and focus ones senses, and preform complex theories and unlock storage in the brain that was never previously avalible. this change is not permanant, and is onlly a temporary burst for a prolonged chi time period.
Alteration: An affinity for Alteration means a person can change the properties of their chi to mimic something else.Similar to projecting ones chi, but different, things created via Alteration are pure chi.Alteration is often mistaken with Conjuring things due to their similarities. A simple way of thinking about it would be that Alteration allows your chi to mimic properties of a substance, whereas conjuring something allows you to change your aura into actual substances. Alterators can copy the properties of REAL things.
Destruction: Destruction chi deals with external chi release that allows the chi practioner to fully utlize the art of destroying or disrupting matter with their chi. This equats to hitting structures of large sizes and taking them down, blowing down walls with a single kick, and if proper outside ignition is used, casuing explosive and devestating forces to spread outwards for a wider range of effect. This is flexible, as it can be shrunken and applied martialy, allowing a skinny person of frail stature to one shot a heavyweight wrestler with one chop. This method of chi manipulation is effective but the most tiring of the five, often requiring high reserves of chi, and draining even more so than that. Destruction chi simply destroys, breaking down things to the point of non-existence. At advance levels, Hadou Masters can use this base to be deadily and powerful warriors with untold strength.
Fortification: Foritification chi is the art of using ones chi as an extension of themselves literally by using their chi to shroud physical objects and make them stronger/sharper. This is mainly used on external objects to make walls, and anything someone can physically touch stronger and more resileant. This can be applied to the physical body, but only on the level of the skin, unlike the physical chi users. With this, one would gain hardened skin, sort of like a dermal skin almost, that would make the user impact resistent to a degree. This however does not outright stop kenetic force, and will still hurt the skin, but it's the main reason this specific chi control is bread for objects.
Mandarins/Life Energy[]
Atoms[]
" On earth, there are billions, trillions of molceular cells and matter that make our planet as a whole. One of these things being something known. As An Atom. The atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons (except in the case of hydrogen-1, which is the only stable nuclide with no neutrons). The electrons of an atom are bound to the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. Likewise, a group of atoms can remain bound to each other by chemical bonds based on the same force, forming a molecule. An atom containing an equal number of protons and electrons is electrically neutral, otherwise it is positively or negatively charged and is known as an ion. An atom is classified according to the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus: the number of protons determines the chemical element, and the number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element.
Chemical atoms, which in science now carry the simple name of "atom," are minuscule objects with diameters of a few tenths of a nanometer and tiny masses proportional to the volume implied by these dimensions. Atoms can only be observed individually using special instruments such as the scanning tunneling microscope. Over 99.94% of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus, with protons and neutrons having roughly equal mass. Each element has at least one isotope with an unstable nucleus that can undergo radioactive decay. This can result in a transmutation that changes the number of protons or neutrons in a nucleus. Electrons that are bound to atoms possess a set of stable energy levels, or orbitals, and can undergo transitions between them by absorbing or emitting photons that match the energy differences between the levels. The electrons determine the chemical properties of an element, and strongly influence an atom's magnetic properties. The principles of quantum mechanics have been successfully used to model the observed properties of the atom.
Most of the atoms that make up the Earth and its inhabitants were present in their current form in the nebula that collapsed out of a molecular cloud to form the Solar System. The rest are the result of radioactive decay, and their relative proportion can be used to determine the age of the Earth through radiometric dating. Most of the helium in the crust of the Earth (about 99% of the helium from gas wells, as shown by its lower abundance of helium-3) is a product of alpha decay.
There are a few trace atoms on Earth that were not present at the beginning (i.e., not "primordial"), nor are results of radioactive decay. Carbon-14 is continuously generated by cosmic rays in the atmosphere. Some atoms on Earth have been artificially generated either deliberately or as by-products of nuclear reactors or explosions. Of the transuranic elements—those with atomic numbers greater than 92—only plutonium and neptunium occur naturally on Earth.Transuranic elements have radioactive lifetimes shorter than the current age of the Earth and thus identifiable quantities of these elements have long since decayed, with the exception of traces of plutonium-244 possibly deposited by cosmic dust. Natural deposits of plutonium and neptunium are produced by neutron capture in uranium ore.
The Earth contains approximately 1.33×1050 atoms. Although small numbers of independent atoms of noble gases exist, such as argon, neon, and helium, 99% of the atmosphere is bound in the form of molecules, including carbon dioxide and diatomic oxygen and nitrogen. At the surface of the Earth, an overwhelming majority of atoms combine to form various compounds, including water, salt, silicates and oxides. Atoms can also combine to create materials that do not consist of discrete molecules, including crystals and liquid or solid metals. This atomic matter forms networked arrangements that lack the particular type of small-scale interrupted order associated with molecular matter.
In Comparison[]
It has been recorded. That once on the planet earth, another Atom like structure had been present quite
How a Mandarin looks
similar to the one described up above. Known as Mandarins. A Mandarin looks exactly like an Atom. But it's litterally broken down into aspects that only apply to the living. These atom like structures were made out of Chi that are classifeid even today. Chi is made up of three components: Genki (元気; lit. "Energy"), Yūki (勇気; lit. "Courage") and Shōki (正気; lit. "Mind"). Also, chi can be "positive" or "negative", depending on the user. Such as the Mandarins. One with Dark Hadou, would be filled and with Dark Mandarins, and vise vera for Light Hadou.
This falls into one's nature. These Mandarins were once all over the earth, but when the ones of old departed. The Mandarins slowly depleted over time. However, as long as there is life on earth. These Mandarins will still co-exist. Even if they are not as potent as they once were. So all in all, Atoms and Mandarins can easily be mistaken for one another.
Life Energy/Chi System[]
A simple term for Mandarins has been made for many things. Such as Chi, Or Life Energy. When Mandarins appear to those with eyes that can see them. They are often seen in waves or threads.
Chi Pathway System (経絡系, Keirakukei; Literally meaning "Meridian System") is the term for the channels within the body that transfer and channel chi. Simply put they serve the same function for chakra as blood vessels do for blood. Along the chakra pathways, there 361 nodes called tenketsu that control the flow of chi like circuit breakers, and within those tenketsu are Eight Gates which control body function and strain levels.
The chi pathway system is enmeshed into the body and like blood vessels it touches and interacts with every single living cell and passes through every organ. If the chi flow to a section of the body is blocked then that portion of the body will be unable to release any chi from any of the tenketsu.
Some can use these pathways in physical combat to kill opponents quickly.Proper application uses the system as a conductor sending harmful chi directly to vulnerable vital organs. As there is no way to train a person's organs to resist physical or energy attack this method of fighting is extremely effective. " - Kin Tasanagi - Ark 18
