Difference between revisions of "Exile"
(While I saw from an update on the Oceanic Realm page states that the exile is this mythical creature, I am not 100% certain, especially since nobody bothered to add it here since it was added back in the 25th of May. If this is wrong, feel free to remove, I am just adding what I saw.) |

'''Exiles''' are those who have been banished, or exiled, from their [[World (setting)|world]] by either their own hand or by the [[Representative|World Representative]] to ensure the continued existence of the world. | |||
==Overview== | |||
Exiles typically represent the minority belief that exists within a world, directly opposing the majority belief. To protect the world, the World Representative would banish them, exiling them permanently to ensure that the world continues to run unopposed. These exiles were given the [[Role]] of Wanderer, someone who is not tied to a specific place. While most were banished from their respective worlds by someone associated with or by the [[Representative|Representative]], in some cases the exile happened by themselves willingly, as was the case with [[El Dorado|El Dorado's]] [[Exile#El Dorado|Quetzalcoatl]]. | |||
The story often describes the souls as resembling dragons and that of a lizard that had severed its own tail, the self-defense mechanism known as autotomy where a lizard amputates part of its own tail in order to flee from a predator, though the Exile themselves do not necessary have to physically be a dragon or draconic in nature, as stated in Jamurkha's case where he is the sole human in the World of Xanadu. | |||
===Connection to the Protagonist=== | |||
The souls of the exiles were coalesced by unknown means into the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}}. Though not readily apparent, those people such as {{Transient icon|Taurus Mask}} who have special abilities to sense more are able to vaguely feel that there are multiple souls in the Protagonist. In general, while many Transients may recognize the familiar soul within them, most characters are able to distinguish the differences between the exile and the Protagonist. The Representatives, on the other hand, heavily struggle to differentiate the two. Former World Representatives such as {{Transient icon|Daikoku|icon=daikoku01_skin5|show name=n}} [[Daikoku|Okuninushi]] however, are capable of seeing the Protagonist as themselves and not the Exile they're connected to. | |||
All of the exile's [[Rule]]s have been placed into the Protagonist's Boundless Tail [[Sacred Artifact]], giving them access to one Rule at a time.<ref name="ch9">[[Release Campaign:Main Quest Chapter 9|Chapter 9: Crafters - Karmic Engine]]</ref><sup>17</sup> After Chapter 9, they are able to summon Lil' Salomon into battle as a second sword and wield a second of the exiles' Rules, even creating an Exception within themselves by clashing the right Rules together known as their Double Dragon technique. | |||

Exiles are those who have been banished, or exiled, from their world by either their own hand or by the World Representative to ensure the continued existence of the world.
Overview
Exiles typically represent the minority belief that exists within a world, directly opposing the majority belief. To protect the world, the World Representative would banish them, exiling them permanently to ensure that the world continues to run unopposed. These exiles were given the Role of Wanderer, someone who is not tied to a specific place. While most were banished from their respective worlds by someone associated with or by the Representative, in some cases the exile happened by themselves willingly, as was the case with El Dorado's Quetzalcoatl.
The story often describes the souls as resembling dragons and that of a lizard that had severed its own tail, the self-defense mechanism known as autotomy where a lizard amputates part of its own tail in order to flee from a predator, though the Exile themselves do not necessary have to physically be a dragon or draconic in nature, as stated in Jamurkha's case where he is the sole human in the World of Xanadu.
Connection to the Protagonist
The souls of the exiles were coalesced by unknown means into the Protagonist. Though not readily apparent, those people such as Taurus Mask who have special abilities to sense more are able to vaguely feel that there are multiple souls in the Protagonist. In general, while many Transients may recognize the familiar soul within them, most characters are able to distinguish the differences between the exile and the Protagonist. The Representatives, on the other hand, heavily struggle to differentiate the two. Former World Representatives such as Okuninushi however, are capable of seeing the Protagonist as themselves and not the Exile they're connected to.
All of the exile's Rules have been placed into the Protagonist's Boundless Tail Sacred Artifact, giving them access to one Rule at a time.[1]17 After Chapter 9, they are able to summon Lil' Salomon into battle as a second sword and wield a second of the exiles' Rules, even creating an Exception within themselves by clashing the right Rules together known as their Double Dragon technique.
