Piscerians

The Piscerians were inhabitants of the planet Pisceria, who were most famous for their creation and advancement of chrono-stamping travel, the Akashic Index and inter-dimensional time travel technology. They harnessed the power of the Rifts in space and time and upheld The Conduct of Dimensions.

Piscerians are humanoid creatures that are said to have up to eight senses, 3 of which are metaphysical. The Piscerians are said to be the great empaths and have an ability to sense rifts changing and warping. They have an instinctual urge to adventure and search for new realms and levels of reality.

The ancient Piscerians were known for creating the Byrt Avun, The Cascade and the Vault of the Gods. The Piscerians of that time were unable to renew or time travel. They warred against the Dark Ones to find the Eternity Formula. After they were defeated by the Dark Ones, they fell back to the Piscerian system and began to biologically reverse-engineer a war prisoner that was captured at the Battle of Oblivion. After they created their own formula, which they coined the renewal formula, they grafted it onto every Piscerian inhabitant and with that came the end of the Piscerian dark age.

By the time of the First Piscerian-Archon War, the Piscerians had been in total control of the Rifts and the Venerated Coasts of Devastation for over a billion years. During the final days of the Last Piscerian-Archon War, it was claimed that Piscerian society had spanned 3 billion years.

History
The Piscerians had power over the Rifts and the Venerated Coasts of Devastation for some two and a half billion years. This was until their defeat at the end of the Last Piscerian-Archon War, at which time they lost their power over their space and were forced from their space. It appeared that Pisceria was destroyed, but in actuality, five timeships escaped Pisceria, each packed with Piscerian refugees. These refugees went to Dynas, a cloneworld of Pisceria and settled there until the Seventh Empath also known as The Voyeur destroyed Dynas, in 2039.

Life cycle
Piscerians were conceived in different ways depending on the era of their conception. During the Piscerian-Archon Wars, the birth of a Piscerian was followed by an enlistment into the Species Reassignment Programme. The parents of the newborn would agree to send their child to a world and make them a hybrid between Piscean and the native species of that planet. Following this, the child would be forced into an early sub-regeneration, setting their physiology to a hybrid status. Alternatively, during peacetime, the children of Pisceria were enrolled into one of the four houses of The Scientia Academy; Sapientiae, Bellum, Aetate and Novitas. Here, they studied until they reached an age ranging from fifty to seventy-five. After graduation, the Lords of Knowledge, as they were deemed till up to 40 years after graduation, were taken for causual rift induction and ordered to stare into The Corridor, a rip in the fabric of our dimension, leading to every other dimension imaginable. Some were inspired to travel or to create, some ran away, inflicted by madness and some killed themselves, overwhelmed by the true smallness of our dimension.

Piscerians were gifted either one or two sets of life cycles, each consisting of 12 renewals, depending on their class. The nature of Piscerian renewal tended to be static with gender and colour, with a slight chance of it being changed at the beginning of the second cycle or in the last renewal of the first cycle. Instead, Piscerian renewal reconfigured the mental structure of it's chosen Piscerian. Renewal, in turn, would create a new set of interests and hobbies for different incarnations. Even going through physical or emotional trials constantly, a Piscerian could 3100 years on one life cycle, as The Empath did. The oldest single-cycle Piscerian was Lord Salikon's grandfather, Oritalin. He lived over 85000 years, stretching his renewal powers extremely thinly, renewing only once every 7000 years.

Piscerians would consider themselves children up until they were as old as three hundred. They could typically survive 1000 - 1300 years before renewing due to old age. Piscerians could psychically foresee their final death and it's cause as they neared the end of their 12th incarnation, and could obliterate an area around them in their final death, leaving nothing behind. Once they died, a Piscerian's memories would be uploaded to the Akashic Index on Pisceria. They would be reconstructed in this world, although some would be sent back to the physical world in the form of Akashic Keepers. The Piscerians also had a rite called clearance, in which the evils and goods of the individual were weighed against each other to test the soul of the trialed and see if it was worthy enough to be reincarnated into a new body at a different era.
