The Op̄tr

The Op̄tr (Ofter) are a race of semi-divine extraterrestrial beings who maintained several outposts on Earth; then suddenly fled, leaving it all to ruin. Tasting eternal life, literally gods from a primitives’ perspective. Of light; the first humans blessed w/life.

Op̄tr Artifacts

Holy artifacts are tools based on psitech principles which were created by the Op̄tr during their occupation of earth and left behind afterwards; not all contain fantastic properties like energy projection, psionic suppression, mind control, some are simple holographic projectors or communications devices, which non the less, appeared supernatural to ancient cultures to whom the Op̄tr had faded into myth and legend.

Since the end of the occupation, these devices have become legendary relics of phenomenal properties, greatly eclipsing the scientific understanding of mankind even in the modern age; though most artifacts can at least be partially reverse engineered by 21st century technology. These artifacts bestow tremendous power over society to those who possess them. 

Though significant portions of their architecture are composed of stone and hard light, Op̄tr technology itself is composed of an unknown metal which can only be forged using psionic powers to transmogrify living matter; the resulting substance has a will and can shapeshift to a degree (for instance a spear into various different styles of spear, or sword into different kinds of swords.)

Some holy artifacts can interact with and change the passage of time; creating paradoxes, many have enough will to respond to those who wield them; some can even ‘speak’ to them. Op̄tr also produce psychoactive chemicals that can cause berserker states or enhance psionic powers; though these too are created through biological pathways; for instance by condensing the unusual neurotransmitters of a psychic in overdrive.

The abilities of these artifacts range greatly; spears able to create force fields, swords that project slashes and beams of energy, bows that can shoot bolts of energy that can destroy a modern warship, shields of virtue which can withstand vast amounts of heat damage before breaking, shrouds which can heal any wound no matter how bad, staffs which can completely resurrect a dead body and provide immortality. Hourglasses which allow time travel; fountains of youth, bidents and tridents that can suppress psionic effects, and cloth which can protect a person from the heat and force of reentry and act as amazing armor.

All these artifacts are created by psionic means; under alchemical theories; these rituals can be studied scientifically and replicated with technology, but humanity lacks the ability to do so in most instances, and all reverse engineered copies are inherently inferior.

They also have a great number of technologies similar to modern humanity but built with psitech; but being psychic they didn’t need things like cars, spaceships, tanks, airplanes, handguns, since they can fly, use telekinesis, project energy, or use astral projection and telepathy; in place of tanks and beasts of burden; they have artificial humanoids, which man calls angels, some of these even resemble terrestrial cars, trains and boats.

Though not considered normal holy-artifacts; Sealing Pillars, their huge computer systems, teleporters, holographic projectors, and other technologies are also present on earth. Though not always composed of Op̄tr metal; they do still display many of the bizarre and supernatural properties as Op̄tr holy weapons. Mechnancial in nature; there are machines and other technologies which are arranged into magical circles and decorated with occult and scientific notation.

Many of these technologies take inspiration from biological systems, and many incorporate special tissues and organs in place of sophisticated software and hardware components. Op̄tr technology advances incrementally as they discover and imitate the solutions they find in other cultures and ecosystems; advancing through imitation rather than conventional research and development. This means many of their artifacts and technologies are far more powerful than they realize.

All Op̄tr artifacts were handmade by craftsmen; rarely do the Op̄tr accept mass production; only when the quality is quite high. Because everything is customized to the needs of the end users, no two holy artifacts are exactly alike.

Kamui and Holy Weapons

Kamui act like armor despite being made of fabric, though bone based holy armor is more effective; Kamui range from everyday clothing to military armor; military Kamui come with bone armor sections. Kamui are more known for their amazing properties; they can allow someone to survive the friction of re-entry; and is an amazing thermal insulator while also wicking away sweat to keep the body comfortable and dry.

The armor, made from bone and thread, is capable of blocking even holy weapons; protecting people from the security effects of Op̄tr technology, as well as energy blasts and impacts that normal nanolaminate armor cannot endure.

The cloth Kamui are made from can be made to heal injuries and wounds; and the tears and spit of a code bearer can be transformed into healing springs. Part of the Op̄tr organic technology is based on incorporating these tissues and organs from code bearers into devices to mass produce things like healing tears, which is the origin of healing springs.

Holy weapons can shapeshift, change size, and can neutralize all psychic abilities on contact, they can also be used to focus the user’s psychic abilities, and are guided by a will of their own; comparable to a dog; meaning they can act independently and return to their user from great distances. Bows can be used to project energy beams able to destroy modern naval warships.

Manufacture

Holy artifacts require a holistic esper and the biomass of someone bearing the code of immortality to manufacture. Kamui’s are made from the hair of a code bearer transmogrified by a holistic esper into thread and woven into cloth, holy weapons require the spine of a code bearer to be transmogrified into the weapon, other artifacts may include teeth, nails, limbs; etc, since code bearers cannot be killed and can regenerate and shapeshift, allowing these items to be produced over and over; it is common for a craftsmen to use his own code to craft with; then pass it down to his best student.

Holistic Espers are espers who cause large scale phenomena to influence the microscopic world, rather than producing microscopic effects and inhibiting their diffusion in order to bring them into the macroscale world. Holistic espers are incredibly rare; and they are unaware of the effects of their powers since those effects are incomprehensible and imperceptible.

Neural Physics

Neurophysical energy is the name for the evanescent photons which compose the fluctlight within cellular microtubules; the quantum field of consciousness. Neural Physics is the name given by humans to Op̄tr science; Op̄tr do not have conventional science because they developed their understanding of the world through their psychic powers.

Neural Physics is the understanding that the phenomena behind psychic powers are not produced uniquely by humans or living things; the opposite of vitalism, but rather these forces exist in nature and act upon the world outside human awareness even if infrequently. Certain places or times all have different qualia associated with them; different points in spacetime are not identical to one another; but have different feelings associated with them.

Neural Physics would be more akin to Alchemy than conventional Science; and heavily relies upon psychic phenomena to produce useful effects; for instance the transmogrification of materials using psychic powers into various forms of exotic matter; such as core, or Op̄tr metal; or the arrangement of machines into magic circles to produce anomalous effects.

Because psionic effects are involved in all their scientific processes; these processes can only be understood through psychoreligious imagery; a spiritual phenomena best understood in alchemical terms. This does not necessarily mean anything spiritual is involved in them; using scientific equipment and a proper analysis of their rituals, it’s entirely possible to replicate their invocations using machinery alone.

Op̄tr kamui, weapons and tools are all produced via neurophysical means, though often through a machine rather than genuine holistic esper; and many of their machines are arranged into overly magical configurations; circuit diagrams with arcane and scientific symbols; which produce mechanical devices which are arranged into magic circles and decorated with; scientific, mathematical, and quantum notation which somehow aid their functions. These are machines developed entirely under the concept of neural-physics; others, such as sealing pillars; are endowed with a soul or parts of one.

Hex Glyphs

Sealing glyphs are complex square glyphs, resembling fingerprints, with esoteric properties similar to psionics but unrelated to magic or the extended mind. These glyphs, in various combinations and formulas, are used on rods (called sealing pillars), containment vessels, floors and walls; and on paper talismans.

Sealing glyphs act to manifest the effects of the higher world, with its extra degrees of freedom, into the lower world, to produce supernatural effects unrelated to magic and psionics; but able to easily match them. They can do this via sympathy with a series of glyphs which have been inscribed onto Golgotha; the moon the Op̄tr have built in the higher world.
