Ankit Glass

Lore Update in Progress This page is going to be affected by a major lore update that is currently underway. If you think it will affect your character please contact a member of the Lore Team.

ALL OF THE BELOW IS THE GIST OF WHAT ANKIT GLASS IS/ISNT. Cleaning and clarification at be expanded upon. Ankit Glass is different from W-3.

Overview

1.An ankitglass- named after the shard or gem of ankit glass at its center- is the actual mind-transference device, attached to a drone assistant, PDA, necklace or religious token.

2. Ankit glass, initially referred to as W-3, is a foggy, milky if still colorless substance, though it has a pearlescent sheen in certain lighting, creating prismatic rainbow effects easier than normal glass. It is created from a rare exotic element known as ankit. It is cut and polished into a brilliant gem, and then etched with intricate internal and external patterns via a technique that is a closely guarded secret of the house. The gems are slightly numbing to the touch and seemingly unable to reach temperatures above 23 degrees or below 17 degrees Celsius. Depending on the size of the Ankit, a shard the size of a coin can give off a 11 GHz frequency. Depending on the quantity and size, the glass can give a calming and relaxing effect, producing visions, or memories of a subjects past life. Mostly good and happy ideas and memories.

Once bonded with a user, a neural symbiosis begins between them. This helps the creation of their ALI or "Guardian" Acting as a AI assistant. An ‘ALI’ or an Artificial Limited Intelligence, not truly capable of independent thought, but tailored to be a personal friend, assistant, companion and monitor. This ALI begins the mental transference prior to death and safeguards and consoles the trapped spirit, kept in continuous loop until a new body can be composed.

3. Ankit comes in several qualities. Weaker shards are limited to multiple uses before it burns out. The Shards the House has is the real deal stuff that protects them from death. The Highest grades are reserved for the Nobility and entrusted to The Arch Duchess and her inner council. The low grade Ankit is sold off to The Crown Worlds, or Main system holdings to the masses.

4. Ankit cannot control peoples minds, alter them, nor change or delete memories. Ankit cannot be used as a weapon. It's purpose is to be be benign tool to save ones essence or "Self" from the possibility of death of entropy. It cannot make people read into others thoughts.

5. Ankit has to be attuned to a user. The House has the technology for refinement, and atonement as they have centuries of knowledge and know how on how to properly use it.

6. Ankit stores emotions and memories. If significant trauma occurs in the vicinity of Ankit deposit stores, the Ankit will expel the negative energies stored forming "Visages." Visages, are people who have passed on but are being pulled back into the world of the living, but due to the Ankit being raw and untapped, the emotional energy could be unstable, thus having to deal with the by product of said trauma (Basically it makes folks around unrefined Ankit into engrams as a collective trauma to expel from it.)

7. If the right conditions are met, Ankit could open pocket dimensions of pure emotions and memories. A repository of thoughts, ideas, and positive energies for those ready to explore it. (This is reserved for events.)

8. Ankit is not a Psionic Amp

9. Ankit is not a drug.
