Kraizen (CRY-zen), also known as Vani (VAW-nee) after the Brandshock, are a species of sapient, magic using creatures and the first sapient and sentient species in the universe.

The Brandshock was a disastrous event that took place approximately five million years ago. How and why it happened is currently unknown. This event dramatically changed Kraizenian culture, changing them from the benevolent Kraizen to the genocidal Vani.

Kraizen are best known for their extremely varied appearances; they can all have a varying amount of eyes, arms, legs, tails, horns, wings, sizes, and more. Despite this, there are still a few traits shared among all Kraizen, these being:

At least one eye with black sclera, eight ringed irises, and a round pupil. The rings can expand and contract at will, and will alternate between two colors, one being the same color as the Kraizen's tanja, and the other being a random color. The eyes of a Kraizen have a structure that is necessary for the development of the brain

A black "mask" that surrounds the eye(s). Each eye mask has a shape unique to the Kraizen. Though the mask seems like only a facial pattern at first glance, it can expand and stretch away from the eye if the Kraizen is under immense stress and/or psionic usage.

At least one mouth and nose. The nose must always appear as slits or reptilian holes; Kraizen cannot have separate, mammalian noses

Only one head and primary brain. A Kraizen born with multiple heads doesn't have the energy to support such a system.

Having a single, continuous body. The only exception to this rule are shell-like structures that can be shed without hindering organ processing, brain functions, and mobility. Kraizen cannot have floating body parts.

Though the following features are not universal physical traits, they are traits commonly seen among members of the species.

The Brandshock engraved into the bodies of each Vani a Brand. These Brands can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have one universal trait: They have a palette of a shade of green, blue, violet, and red, strictly in that order. While a brand may start on a different color and cycle in the opposite direction, the order of the colors will never change. For example, a Brand's color, from top to bottom, could go blue, green, red, and violet, it could not go purple, green, red, and blue. A Vani can only have one Brand, though this brand can manifest on a pair of mirrored parts such as horns. Additionally, a Vani's eyes share the Brand's green, blue, violet, and red.

A brand is a part of the Vani body that is more sensitive to damage, essentially being their weak spot. A brand can come in various shapes and sizes and can be seen in various spots of their body (i.e. a pair of horns). They are unique to each Vani, and typically represent a part of their personality-usually an insecurity.

Pre-Brandshock, Vani had no weak spots, nor did they have the green/blue/violet/red eyes. Eye color instead consisted of a Vani's tanja and a second, unique color. Many Vani also had hair, with those who have hair post-180 having even more.

Pre-Brandschock Vani were peaceful creatures, lacking the genocidal mindset of their present counterparts. They were more compassionate to both each other and other life.

The Kraizenlain, otherwise known as the Vaniwo, is a land surrounding the outer edges of the universe. It is home to the Vani.

Kraizenia (cry-ZEN-nee-uh) is the planet where Kraizen/Vani originated billions of years ago, and is the first life-bearing planet.

Kraizenia has four major continents: Ekora, Kriana, Devara, and Beltasa. Lassoa was the ocean, and where Kraizen with natural liquid-breathing abilities came from. Mettoa was the skies, as well as various peaks and mountainous ranges, and where Kraizen who could levitate without magic came from.

Vani are typically organized in packs of 30, Each having a specific role in the team such as: The Leader, Uprising Suppressors, Communication and Technology Experts, Mass annihilators, And Assassins. When vani work as a team, They almost NEVER lose.

Monsterization, also known as lycanthropy, is a phenomena in which humans change into a monstrous form. Humans who have monsterized are known as Humons.

Monsterization is an extremely painful process. Those affected begin to feel excruciating pain before physical changes even start. Once they do, the body contorts in various ways, from bones elongating or compressing, to the growth of fur and/or scales. Many who undergo monsterization will even pass out due to the amount of pain. Regardless of if they pass out or not, newly-transformed humons will enter a state of uncontrollable rage and attack anyone in sight. This state only lasts a few minutes and once it's over, they will revert to their normal mindset.

Even after the transformation, people affected may still suffer from adverse symptoms. These can include fits of rage, bone and muscle fatigue, and even fire-induced heartburn.

Similarly to the Vani, the appearance of a humon varies heavily from person to person. Many take inspiration from multiple animals and mythical creatures. For example, Patch's monster form has elements of both foxes and birds. Despite these animalistic elements to them, humons will almost always be humanoid in terms of basic structure. A person's soul and- if they are a tether- Vani counterpart can both influence their humon form's appearance.

Zone-B is an Earth organization dedicated to defeating the Vani and researching the various phenomena they brought and created.

THE STORY: There once was an ancient species of creatures called the Kraizen. The Kraizen were highly advanced, and spread all across the universe. They had technologies far beyond the imagination, with magical machines that could do anything your heart desires.

Their biology was the basis for all life, for each individual looked unique - each single Kraizen person being the universe’s blueprints to make a new species, out amongst the cosmos. They were stewards to all, and protected alien life as guides.

However, one day, long ago… it all changed. A great tragedy struck, and changed the entire species of Kraizen into strange, “branded” selves by something only known as “the Brandshock”.

All of their cities were cast into ruin, to a dimension that never stopped vanishing. Falling apart, rusted and holed, gray and dismal; the life had been sucked clean out. So, too, were the Kraizen lifeless - and renamed to Vanishing Beasts, or Vani, they were.

Reduced to monsters, they fought and fought, scaring all of the rest of life with their chaos, until one day… four siblings stood up amongst the chaos. These four stood out, being branded “differently”. Each of the four claimed a portion of the Kraizen and created armies, fighting each other for the lost truth - in a war that would later be called the Four Storms. That is, until one day… a truce was held.

The four armies all realized what had happened - their souls were split in half, and out there - across space - were their severed halves. They would forever be vanishing and rotting the universe with their incompleteness. The four siblings, known now as the Tetrarch, claimed to have a way to settle this war, regain their souls and identity, and soothe the frightened lifeforms across all of the lifebearing planets - and save the universe.

At first, the Vani were bold, trying to comfort the scared lifeforms, who saw them as big monsters. But as they got pushed away more and more, they grew more desperate to reunite with their souls.

They searched through the rubble of their home and found their ancient, dream-granting machines, and proposed a new idea: give the person who holds their other soul’s half all the wishes they could want, and make them happy and fulfill their desires! …At a cost.

To repair a soul, there needs to be corruption, siphoned from the universe around them. And to get corruption… you must rot something. Fill their heads with all they could want, and over time, dissolve their being down until their soul is able to be taken - as their body and mind warp into a demon Reznaxan. It doesn’t matter if the world erodes away around you… at least you got your soul back. Right?

The Tetrarch gave out the dream machines - Amplifiers - and gave the Vani the task of repairing their souls before their soul-Tethers would die of age, so that they may catch that soul before it disappears back into the ether. Each of the four armies would follow what their Tetrarch says, even if the odds that linger from the war remain. Tensions are high, but the four legions are doing well enough together.

Those of Green would hate the rot, wanting to fight back against the rest.

Those of Blue would love the rot, wanting a bright future for all.

Those of Violet want to rebuild what was lost, and set their eyes on your energy and materials. And those of Red just want to have fun; they really, really don’t care.

Now, it is a matter of time for biological lifeforms to make a choice. Fight back… or give into the whims of the Vani and their dream machines, and lose your soul to the rotting corruption.

Thus began the Hypnofantasms - the Fantasm pocket-worlds that eat away at reality.
