1. #1Energy

   Keys: basic energy, energy, life energy

   All living beings possess regular energy that can be harnessed into physical and ranged attacks. This organic energy serves as the basis for all forms, as it works similarly to how a person would use their own energy to lift a heavy object.

   Reserves are kept inside the user, ready to be drawn out. Proper utilization allows for a major boost in attack used with it. Yellow energy indicates a speed-up of energy, indicating an efficient flow of energy. Blue energy indicates a condensation of energy, while maintaining a proper flow. Red indicates raw, untapped and loose energy, lacking the proper flow of other colors indicators.

   Humans must recover after training and using forms. They can rest and eat food to recover quicker.

2. #2Dark Energy

   Keys: dark energy, dark energy system

   Dark energy, used naturally only by dark matter beings, must be infused to those wishing to seek even greater power. Dark energy has a multitude of ways it can be obtained: Cybernetic enhancements, experimentation, usage of a dark energy core and bestowed from a dark matter being are ways one can obtain dark energy for themselves.

   Dark energy works differently from regular energy, as it is a fundamental part of the universe. Proper utilization allows for a major boost in attack used with it, as well as serving as a secondary energy source.

3. #3Training

   Keys: training methods, , training

   Training varies from person to person, some having an easier time and others having a harder time. For humans, training begins once they reach 16 years of age. From there, they can train as much as is needed.

   Gravity, Meditation, Sparring and Emotional training are all methods used by humans to refine their techniques, human forms and power.

4. #4Primal

   Keys: primal form, primal

   The most basic and unrefined transformation. Takes the user's life force to sustain, with the benefits of increased overall power. The higher form that is used, the more life is drained away.

   Method of gaining the Primal Form: Often times, an experienced teacher is more than enough for a willing student to learn Primal. Still, a more stubborn student may need more pressure to learn the form.

   Visual details: Primal causes the muscle mass of the user to swell in size, reflective of the inefficient energy control of the form. Their aura is often red and fiery, also reflecting the unstable energy flow of the form. This is due to unutilized energy, as raw energy produces red coloration. This form raises the user's power to above human norms. The user will have to rely on accuracy, as the form does not confer any advantages outside of strength.

   Unique attributes: Primal boosts the overall strength of the user, making it handy even outside of combat. At a mastered level, the life drain can be significantly mitigated. This is the only form that can be used with other forms, with varying degrees of diminishing returns. Super Human benefits the most from a Primal boost and Hyper human benefits the least, making the form even more unstable.

   Energy Drain: Primal does not impose a drain on the users' energy.

   Stamina Drain: Primal draws from the raw reserves of energy of its user, incurring a significant drain.

   Life Drain: Primal is distinct, in that it's the only form to literally suck the life out of its user. This can potentially lead to a near-fatal experience for the user, if not channeled properly.

   Training: Primal takes months to learn and several more to train and master. Being a basic form, it isn't incredibly hard to master.

5. #5Refined

   Keys: refined form, refined

   A more desirable form, harnessing the latent energy within the user. Does not deal damage to self and increases power. It's considered an improved form of Primal. It is unable to be used with other forms.

   Method of gaining the Refined Form: With mastery of Primal, the Refined form is sure to follow suit. Dedicated training can allow one to gain the Refined form, though it may take more time than one has.

   Visual details: Little physically changes, with the energy being much more fluid and calmer, taking a blue appearance instead. This form raises the user's power to scale far beyond standard human levels. With the mitigation of Primal's weakness, Refined is a common form used in combat.

   Unique attributes: Though not as distinctive as other forms, Refined does let the user fire energy blasts with increased power and efficiency over other forms.

   Energy Drain: Refined is still an imperfect form, as it an evolution of primal. As such, it drains the user's energy.

   Stamina Drain: Refined draws from the reserves of energy from its users, though in a much more efficient manner. The drain is lesser than Primal's.

   Training: As an evolution of Primal, it takes more time to unlock the Refined form, taking more months to unlock.

6. #6Super Human

   Keys: super form, super, super human, super human form

   A transformation unlocked by a Human infusing dark energy into themselves and unleashing it to it's fullest. The transformation confers a much more substantial power increase over Primal and Refined, but drains the stamina of the user over time.

   Method of gaining the Super Human Form: Besides gaining usage of dark energy, one must be able to harness said energy to even have a chance of unlocking Super Human. It may take an intense, life-threatening event to awaken such a form. Even then, it could be unlocked with devoting time to study and training to unlock the form. Intense emotions can also unlock the form, with the loss of a loved one being enough to draw out the power.

   Visual details: Distinct spiking up of the hair, with a subtle yellow hue to it. Electrical sparks may periodically shoot out from the user. In the mastered form, the user does not emit any sparks and has a much more distinct hue of yellow to their hair.

   This form raises power to supernatural levels, capable of punching clean holes through thick metal sheets with minimal effort. With total mastery, the form can even be used without significant stamina drainage. Story wise, if offers a way for the human characters to match the levels of strength that extraterrestrial opponents pose.

   Unique attributes: Only humans can use this form. The form relies on distinct human characteristics to manifest, making it legendary in terms of how rarely it appears. The form can also be valued for the appearance of producing blonde hair, especially in the mastered state.

   Energy Drain: Relying on the dark energy gathered in the body of the user, Super Human drains much more energy than Refined. Training reduces the costs, with mastery significantly reducing the amount of energy drained.

   Stamina Drain: Pushing the human body to the limit, Super Human drains a significant amount of stamina. With training, the form can be sustained for longer, with mastery allowing the form to manifest at will.

   Training: Super Human takes time to even have chance of manifesting, as dark energy reserves must reach a suitable level. Training can take several months, even an entire year to unlock the form. Thankfully, training and mastering the form takes less time, only taking a few months.

7. #7Super Human (Beyond)

   Keys: sh (b), blue super, beyond super, super evolved, beyond super human, super human beyond, super evolution, super human (b), super human (beyond)

   Pushed to the absolute limits, one can achieve the beyond form. Unmastered, this form drains energy even quicker than Super human. Once trained, this form offers a boost to ranged attacks. Finally, when mastered, it offers an unparallel degree of flexibility compared to its previous form.

   Method of gaining the Super Human (B) Form: Pushing one's limits is the only real way to unlock the next level of Super Human. Whether intention or by coincidence, unlocking the next level requires absolute focus into the form, requiring mastery of Super Human. The form can also be unlocked through immense emotional pain, as the form requires all energy from its user.

   Visual details: Electrical sparks fly out from the user, more violently than its previous form. The flare of spikes from the hair take a much more dramatic pose, alongside a blue hint to the hair. The eyes may also change to a cyan color, depending on the effort and strain being put into the form. At it's maximum, the hair spikes upwards dramatically and the blue color has overtaken its natural color.

   This form increases power to above supernatural levels, capable of overpowering titanic tyrants with steady usage. Super Human (B) is a hard form to control, given its overpowering nature.

   Unique attributes: Only humans can use this form. The distinct blue hair produced from the form is actually the dark energy powering the user's body on a cellular level. Dark energy has no distinct color, the blue just being how human eyes perceive it. The electricity produced from this form is also aside effect of the cellular merger. This cellular change can actually result in the user's body in rapidly regenerating attacks.

   Energy Drain: As the evolved form of Super Human, the (B) form drains much more energy than its previous incarnation. Training allows the form to be sustained for longer periods, though even mastery cannot help how much the form drains dark energy.

   Stamina Drain: Breaking the limits of the previous form, SH (B) drains even more than the previous form. Training lets the user reduce the strain SH (B) inflicts on their bodies, with mastery eliminating the intensity of bodily fatigue it causes.

   Training: As the evolved form of Super Human, Super Human (Beyond) takes much more time to manifest, taking years to unlock. Training and mastering the form also takes time, 5–6 months is the shortest amount of time it could take to train the form. A year is typically taken to master the form fully.

8. #8Hyper Human

   Keys: hyper human, hyper, hyper form, hyper human form

   The final form of Super Humanity, Hyper Human is the pinnacle of dark energy mastery. Even in an untrained state, Hyper Human far surpasses a mastered Super Human form. However, Hyper humanity can only be sustained over a short period of time.

   Method of gaining the Hyper Human Form: Very few have ever come close to Hyper Human, without some method of pushing themselves beyond. Said methods include using an enormous dark energy source, forgotten teachings and immense training.

   Visual details: A fiery aura envelops the user, with mystical shimmers of energy intertwined. The hair spikes backwards, with a distinct red hue to the color. The eyes may shift from red to yellow, depending on the output. At its full potential, Hyper Human causes the hair to spike backwards, with red engulfing the entire color of the hair.

   This form increases power to unprecedented levels, even slightly bending reality to a subtle degree. It's said that the entire universe shakes a little when a Hyper Human lands a punch.

   Unique attributes: Only humans can use this form. The reason the hair bends backwards, is due to the dark energy warping the physical attributes of the user. The hair significantly gains weight, without actually hampering the user at all. This is also the reason the aura produced by the user contains shimmering energy sparks.

   Because of the large amount of dark energy gathered in one place, this form lets the user apply devastating effects in combat. There are very few that can withstand the power of a mastered Hyper Human.

   One could theoretically combine Hyper Human with Primal to reach Tier 10 of strength, at significant cost to their health and other attributes.

   Energy Drain: Despite the name, the form is actually rather inefficient, relying too heavily on dark energy to increase the user’s power. Still, the form is not entirely useless, as training reduces the energy drain and mastery negates the more negative effects.

   Stamina Drain: This form incurs significant strain on the user's body, as humans are only able to use dark energy to such a degree without destroying their entire body. Training reduces the strain, and mastery can let the user use the form for a longer period of time.

   Training: Being the final step of Super Human, Hyper Human takes additional time to learn and unlock. One must be careful, as not to destroy their body in the process. Training and mastery of the form can take a year.

9. #9Potential Realized

   Keys: potential realized, pr, potential realized form

   The most secretive form, known to a select few in the entire universe. This form costs no dark energy to sustain and amplifies the base form. With proper training and diligence, this form can even reach Hyper Human standards, without the drawbacks, though mastered Hyper Human will always possess more raw power.

   Method of gaining the Potential Realized Form: This form is elusive to many, thought to be impossible or simply hear-say. Some entities that live in the universe are capable of teaching the method of unlocking the form, and there are others that can simply instill it. However, it cannot be unlocked naturally, as the form requires more than simple training or meditation to obtain.

   The most common source of finding someone who knows about the form, is taking a trek across several solar systems, to find an elderly teacher who happens to know how to instill the form. His name is Elder Kui, and he often demands some form of tribute in exchange for the knowledge of the form.

   Visual details: Very little changes physically in this form, aside from slightly spiked hair and exaggeration of natural details. It is the hardest form to identify from a visual standpoint, lacking any notable details.

   Of all the forms, this form has no theoretical limits to it, as it scales off the base power of the user. It cannot use any other forms in tandem, as it scales solely off of the base form.

   Unique attributes: Potential Realized does not require dark energy to use, simply utilizing the energy of the user instead. It is an ancient technique, used to conserve energy in dire times.

   Though many of its teachers are long gone, artifacts remain and could lead to more users of this hidden power. Unlike other forms, it takes much longer to master the form, as little is known about the form, outside wise mystics and living relics.

   Due to it not using dark energy or much life energy, it makes the user much harder to detect. The form also offers much more passive benefits, though one must focus their energy to increase the passive perception and regeneration increase this form can offer.

   Energy Drain: Even in an unmastered state, PR does not drain much energy. Trained, the form takes even less energy and mastery allows the form to drain no energy at all, making it highly effiecent.

   Stamina Drain: PR does require some physical straining, especially unmastered. Training can reduce the toll the form takes, and mastery allows the user to transform instantly, bypassing the need to take time transforming.

   Training: This form takes several months to even unlock, let alone train and master. It can take years to master the form. On top of that, very few know of the form's existence, making it near impossible to train.

10. #10Power

    Keys: ability, capability, power, capabilities

    Power is the estimation of one's capabilities. It is used to calculate one's natural aptitudes. It is separated into three major categories. Strength, Agility and Defense.

    Strength determines how strong a given fighter is, starting from 0 and capping out at 10. Agility determines the speed of a fighter, starting from 0 and capping out at 10. Defense determines how durable a fighter is, starting from 0 and capping out at 10.

    There are synergies with measurements. Equal strength amplifies equal defense. Equal agility enhances equal strength application. Stronger defense allows for more aggressive strength usage.

    Energy must be considered when using strength, as it enables a human to output much more damage than is normal. Higher strength requires exponentially more energy, likewise with agility and defense. Maintaining balance between attributes conserves energy. Extreme disparity between attributes increases energy drain.

    Another thing to consider are transformations, like Primal or Super Human. Transformation strain increases with attribute disparity. Perfect balance enables longer transformation duration. Energy efficiency improves with practice, with mastery often allowing prolonged use of a form. Sustaining too much damage from an attack will force a user out of the form.
