I am going to start writing about the “religion” of my imaginary world. My point of course isn’t to convert anyone, since I don’t believe this religion myself. Rather, I wish to explore various theories, etc., using this as a starting point.
I will give an overview of the main types of creatures involved before delving into any of the details of the religion itself.
gods (Aizifa): The gods are of a species known as Urimentians. Uriments are composed of light energy and look like big spheres. Through this sphere is a single canal through which energy passes in one direction only, from mouth to anus, creating a flow around the organism that resembles a magnetic field. Within this canal are two male gonads and two eggs (all Uriments are hermaphrodites). In the center is a small sinus in which the nucleus (brain) is located. The nucleus radiates electrical signals outwards to the surface.
The Aizifa cannot self-fertilize but instead engage in what is said to be the most amazing act of sex in which the eggs receive the sperm and then commence to draw energy out of the great pool of Heaven to create the child. I don’t know much about the details except that fertilization is 100% efficient. This means that each pair of Aizifa will always produce two offspring. The population therefore reaches a stable point after a certain amount of generations, unless war breaks out.
The lifespan of a Uriment is about 600 million years. However, this can be shortened if the creature depletes its energy. The energy is neutralized by dark energy unless it is intertwined in a particular state of resonance, and total neutralization leads to death.
Uriments normally occupy Type I nonexistence (Heaven), which are the upper planes of imaginary time, usually represented as being “above” the real plane. They can go to the real plane if and only if an Anuriment also enters the real plane at the same time. They can also go into Type II nonexistence (Hell) if, again, an Anuriment goes into Type I nonexistence. There are well-regulated elevators for this purpose, and the elevators reach the real plane at a spot known as the Rainbow Divide (I think).
Uriments, upon birth, are granted a “given” form, which is the form of matter that they will take. No two Uriments have the same given form, and the given forms for whatever reason mirror the various species of creatures in the real plane. In fact, a newly-born Uriment gets lost in the real world in his/her given form and has to be found. This is a very annoying process, and Nisuna was lost for 15 years because of very poor search technique, which has since been improved with technology.
Although they have a given form, Uriments have the ability to shape-shift into any creature. They have a library of DNA that’s like that. I’m not going to explain it scientifically because it makes no sense scientifically. They’re gods. And they’re made up. Deal with it :).
demons (Oizifa): same as the Aizifa but composed of dark energy. Their species is called Anuriments.
life (Muizifa): life is the result when light and dark energy, instead of negated each other, begin to orbit in resonance. Life can only exist in this form if it is on Earth. Muizifa can only be generated in a limited number of ways: first, from existing Muizifa; second, by the union of the light and dark orbs of Heaven and Hell (completed by U and Marisa in 600 million B.C., B.C. = before cats); and third, if a god makes love to a demon.
Although it was traditionally accepted that gods and demons have superiority over life, it has recently been shown to be the opposite. In 500 B.C., a peculiar war broke out when the humans refused to believe that the Aizifa were in fact the gods that they worshipped (wrongly – the Aizuna says not to worship any gods). The resulting war finally realized the actual meaning behind the bizarre symbol for humans that appears in the Aizuna, which in fact depicts them with many wings and a good deal of holy power. It is now well-known that Muizifa are the highest form of life, but only when they understand their power and harness it correctly. Otherwise, they’re just boring.
Okay, that’s it for background.
