Demi Forms

Demi Forms refers to the several school of combat styles used by the Demi. Demi Forms were created to compliment a Demi's power and allow them to overcome a challenge, by focusing their power and skill into a well developed style of fighting.

Demi forms are well rooted into Demi culture and training, there are 14 main Demi Forms, any other Form developed which does not allign with the 14 main forms, comes under the Form X category.

Though the 14 main Forms are universal throughout Demi factions, certain factions and individuals develop their own forms, more suited to what they do.

History
Demi Forms were developed during the early stages of Demi history, 90,548 - 90,540 BSI. Developed by the Original Demi, forms were developed as a result of 1-12 gaining powers, using their powers, the Original Demi began to study the soul and what extents it could be used to, from this 1-12 developed the Demi Forms as a method of protecting the people of their village.

As more Demi began to appear, the Original Demi founded The Demi Temple, as a safe place for Demi to study the soul and become stronger.

Throughout the Demi history the 14 Main forms have been tweaked and improved, through new generations of Demi, new technological advancements and new threats to Demi kind, however the core of the Forms remain the same.

Form 1 was developed by 1 and is the basic founding step for most Demi. Form 1 involves only using one's power to overcome a challenge or defeat an enemy. This form was used as a founding step for new Demi as it allowed them to become more confident when using their power, Form 1 is easy to learn however difficult to master.

Fast
The Fast Discipline of Form 1 was the study of fast, small attacks. The fast discipline was used for weakening an enemy or overwhelming an enemy. The Fast Discipline required the user to be quick-witted and have a fast reaction time, this discipline was often used by Demi that used Shoukyoku meditation. This discipline used the Burst, Laser, Bolt, Needle and Orb styles.

Medium
The Medium Discipline of Form 1 was the study of medium speed, medium attacks. This discipline focused on an equilibrium of speed and damage in an attack. The Medium Discipline was the most common discipline of Form 1, as it did not require the quick-witted nature needed for the fast discipline, while also not needing the large soul for the Slow Discipline. The Medium Discipline used the Beam, Laser, Medium Bolt, Fire, Water, Nature, Lightning and Orb styles.

Slow
The Slow Discipline of Form 1 was the study of slow speed, large attacks. This Discipline focused on large high damaging attacks, often used to extremely overwhelm a single enemy or defeat multiple enemies. Due to the large amount of the Soul used for attacks, this discipline was mainly used by Demi who performed Koutei meditation, however it was still possible for a Demi to use this discipline if they performed Neutral and Shoukyoku meditation, however it was a great challenge for Demi of the Shoukyoku meditation. The Slow Discipline used the Wave, Water, Nature, Large Bolt and Lightning Storm Styles.

Support
The Support Discipline of Form 1 was the study of defensive and supportive maneuvers. This Discipline was the least common used of the Form 1 Disciplines, however mastering this discipline could hold great potential. The discipline taught how one could use their Soul to create defensive walls and barriers, along with ways of using your Soul to support teammates or negatively effect enemies, without causing direct harm. This discipline was often used by Demi of the Koutei meditation, as it required a large Soul to create many of the defensive or supportive techniques. The Support Discipline used the Water, Fire, Nature, Air, Earth, String and Rune Styles.

Ranged
The Ranged Discipline of Form 1 was the study of ranged attack using only one's Soul. The ranged discipline was a long-ranged offensive discipline. This was due to the ranged discipline being used over extreme distances, though many of the other disciplines use ranged attacks, the ranged discipline focused entirely on long ranged attacks, compared to the more common medium ranged attacks of the other disciplines. This discipline required the user to have a strong soul intensity, as Soul Projectiles deteriorate at an exponential rate, the further they reach from their source.The Ranged Discipline used the Laser, Bolt, Large Needle and Orb Styles

Close
The Close Discipline of Form 1 was the study of close-range/body attacks. This Discipline taught users how to use their Soul at extremely close range, this often came out in the form of a user covering their entire body in their power; their body would then be used as the weapon against an opponent. This discipline also involved attacks that were within the immediate vicinity of the user. This discipline was often used in conjunction with other Form 1 disciplines to create a well versed Demi. The Close Discipline used the Body, Blast, Explosion and Rune Styles.
