Chimerae

Overview

These living beings have become accustomed to living within The Tumult, constantly mutating as a result. They are hybrid creatures, with extremely varied forms, intrinsically marked by the Tumult.

Characteristics

When a Chimera emerges from the Tumult, its appearance settles into one form, until it returns to it. Some are peaceful, others hostile to humans, but all have acquired the ability to absorb Mana to sustain themselves.

Relationship with Alterers

When a Chimera bonds with an Alterer through The Musubi, its appearance stabilizes, as the human retains a memory of the form it is supposed to assume in their eyes.

Bonded Powers

When an Alterer forms such a bond with a Chimera, the duo develops powers that defy comprehension. Through this connection, the Alterer and their Alter Ego share their abilities, making them particularly apt at venturing into the Tumult.

These bonded pairs are called Exalts, and their existence offers new perspectives for humanity.
