A Lens is a being that does not run off their own limited energy. they use the energy radiated by all other things and use it. Lenses can be living or non living.
A lamp is a being that runs off their own energy. Most lamps are mortal. Lamps provide the base for existance for all other things. Power may vary. All mortal lamps have the potential to become lenses.
Axis is literally the axis of time and space. This is the point where space begins. No time flows here naturally so time is always 0. Coordinates of axis are: 0-0-0-0-0-0.
In order to recieve the nessary training, lenses need to live really long. Their training period can last from 2500 to 9500 years. A procedure called "stopping the clock" needs to occur. "Stopping the clock" can only occur when individual is a lens or a VERY powerful lamp. It involves putting one's bioligical cycle into a loop. The cycle skips like a broken record and is that age until the cycle is once again able to run its natural course. Aging cannot be reversed so it is important that the "stop the clock" quickly.
The "ghost" is one's consciousness. The "shell" is the coporeal residence of the "ghost". Ghosts cannot exist without shells (also vice versa). Ghosts can be transfered into other shells (thus taking over the host shell). A level can be reached where shells attain a non coporeal status (but it's still a shell). A shell is esntially dead without a ghost (such as in the case of brain dead humans, their body maybe alive but there is no one home). Ghosts can exist in both organic and inorganic brains. An organic host can inhabit inorganic shell and likewise and inorganic ghost can inhabit an organic shell.
Simple, as long has there has been time and space.
Oh, when you put it that way. It has been around aproximately been around for 3/4 of a billion years (Axis years). It depends on when you would have visited.
Good question. Well, i suppose he's older than the 3/4 of a billion years (Axis years). But how much more is unknown. Marion Dean was born August 3, 2661 in America Sector gamma 1 in Topeka City. He is chronologically younger than me but, he has been around culmitively longer.
I suppose she died. Not much else is known about her life. She was born May 7, 2679 in America Sector gamma 1 in Topeka City. Exact records of Axis's history was not kept till Axiseason 22E2AB3, year 4. That was about 38,500,000 Axiseasons after Axis was founded.
It's fairly simple, really. There are 10 years in one Axiseason, 10 months in a year, 10 days in a month, and 330 hours (standard earth hours) in a day. Axiseasons are represented hexadecimally. The rest of the numbers are represented decimal standard. The months that Axis uses are: Fa, Ki, Pi, Ri, Sa, Ga, Ni, Pa, Ku, Ka. The dates are written in this format: hours:minutes Month,day year Axiseason. So, an example date would be- 223:54 Ni 10, year 10, 3F80929. The first day of Axis would have been- 00:00 Fa 1, year 1, 0(hex).
I really don't have an answer as for why, but I suppose it's easier to think about it in earth years. My example culmative age would be 6,432 years. The chronometric system that Axis uses is a bit difficult to figure into earth time.
Errrr...... good question. Okay, I'll try to explain.
Man, that means New Years only comes around every 3.767 years! And they complain that it is overdone too much. Nicole frequently says she'll go insane without food for 5 days, you can see why now! 68 (almost 69) days without food is quite a long time, especially for her eating habits.
Most recruits quit about 10,000 years of age. There is no limit as to how long you can serve. There seems to be a coralation between insanity and age of members. The higher the age, the higher the risk of insanity. Most members quit before that happens. But the majority during their service are a bit out there, on account of a phenomenon we call "lens wacky". This is not complete insanity but rather just a bit off their rocker.
For the most part, our history has been one of peace with just the usual assignments that keep the multi-verse functioning. There has only been one great war that we have been directly involved in. Sa 3, year 7, 048615AD offical declaration of war was given to the Gabu Sovereign Imperial Structure that was headed by Supreme High Empress Ralo Tay Abov Breth because of : unrelenting attack on other universes, torture to entire universes by molecular debonding, destroying universes, enslaving of entire universes and creating an unstable rip in time/space that swallowed up 3 universes. The war lasted 2 months and 3 days. 12% of the Prismatic Army force was lost to the destructive weapon that Supreme High Empress Ralo posessed (the Second Sphere). After the Gabu Sovereign Imperial Structure was defeated, the Supreme High Empress was put on trial and found guilty to all counts and was sentenced to 55 Axiseasons to "the box" and that sentence would be finished, she would then be executed.
