Just a list of terms that are common place within the world of Kenificus Vector, a little something that can help you get used to things, as well as make your characters seem more believable.
-Candeoans: The official name of those born with the special gene permitting them access to the world of 'magic'. Latin word meaning 'light', referring to the glowing property of the special 'magic' gene.
-Kenificus Technology: The technology developed to harness the power of the Candeoans and make it usable by those lacking the gene.
-Kenificus Vector: The city which specializes in developing Kenificus technology, it is also the location in which the RP takes place.
-"Candles": A nickname for Candeoans, often used among the armed forces to make it easier to give out orders or simply to insult them.
-"Candle Factories": Special facilities used to breed people who possess the Candeoan gene. They are also directly linked to the development of Kenificus Technology.
-Kenvector: A nickname for the city of Kenificus Vector.
-Beowulves: The private army that lies within Kenificus Vector.
-Orochi: The rebellion fighting against those in control of Kenificus Vector and the Beowulves.
-Orochi Eight: The eight most famous members of the Orochi, each named by the government after a dragon due to their true names eluding the public. They are also the most powerful within Orochi, being those who control an entire sect.
-"Pups": A term used by the Orochi as a nickname for the Beowulves.
-"Waxies": A term used by the Beowulves as a nickname for the Orochi, referring to how many members are pro-Candeoan rights.
-"Lizards": A term used by the Beowulves in reference to the Orochi Eight, due to each being named after a dragon of some kind.
-"Rexes": A nickname for the Heavy Arms Mechanized Units used by the Beowulves, in part due to their small arms by comparison to the rest of their body.
-Magi: The original name used to separate those who could use magic from normal humans. Was replaced with the name Candeoan.
-Candeoan Gene: The gene that separates Candeoans from humans, it is the gene that grants them their powers. These genes can only provide the body with the coding for a single power, and they also modify the body to be able to produce the energy necessary to use these powers. These genes can be genetically implanted into a person, though more often than not, it is rejected and has negative side effects on the patient.
-Powers: The gifts that the Candeoans brought into the world, this is the equivalent of magic, though in a sense, it is more down-to-earth. These powers cannot defy the laws of physics and cannot do the impossible, but instead, work with the laws and sort of bend them in order to do things seen in fantasy. The power a Candeoan can be born with varies, but the stronger the power is, the more rare the gene is. It is not uncommon to see people with the same power. Candeoans are normally only born with one of these, but through genetics, can be genetically modified to have more of these genes present in their body and thus, have more powers.
