"Forget that. I'll gladly pummel these things back into the ground." Order conjures up his warhammer.
Apathy scoffs.
"Foolhardy as usual."
"I won't sit idly by while this 'Hierophant' threatens our very existence. You have the advantage up here, so you should be helping, too."

"That's settled, then. Try not to get yourselves killed, you two."
The large shadow is more visible now that it's closer... In reality, it's a swarm of 'corrupted' Shadow Imps and a few humanoid figures with crystals jutting out in different areas of their bodies.
One figure stands out- a tall, horned, thing seemingly draped in jet-black robes with purple lining and tassets. It holds an equally jet-black staff with a large crystal at its end.
//I have yet to describe my characters to everyone still. Quite awkward really.
Zeurei sat at the end of a bed, looking awkwardly across the room at his sister who was playing with Sandrise, the sizable magically modified animal bounding about before tackling Zeureis out of her chair. Zeurei just laughed at her as she tumbled to the floor. Cloak falling across the floor finally.
They didn't really know what to say to each other anymore. Neither remembered much about their past, and they'd already told each other about all of what had happened since they'd awakened.
And so Zeurei ended up just checking his leg, making sure it was still running well, and it was. As ever. Zeureis however was left missing her left arm. And with nothing else left to do, the two Avali simply relaxed in the room in silence.
An Avali of dark fur and feather, his tone is technically dyed to hide his natural coat. Currently it is dyed Deep purple with small teal markings with the tip of each feather marked with the same teal. His natural tone is pure white, which is quite disconcerting in appearance upon Avali, especially since the glow of his eyes makes his fur seem to shimmer when it isn't dyed. He currently wears a form fitting pale green robe that hides most of his form from vision down to his toes. His left leg is an adjustable prosthetic with hard-light fittings that automatically adjust to the body, only requiring cleaning as with standard bodily pruning. It runs off of a neural lace at the base of his spine
At the same height as Zeurei and with almost the same body and head shape. If it weren't for her hips she'd look like a male Avali, specifically her brother. Like her brother she has her fur and plumage dyed, although hers is bright red with gold highlights in bands. It is naturally the same as her brothers. Pale bone white, and shimmers with her ability active. She is currently wearing heavy grey hooded robes that sag to the ground. She looks more like a human child in an oversized coat as it were than any kind of avali. Her right arm is an adjustable prosthetic with hard-light fittings that automatically adjust to the body as it moves completely removing wear and irritation, only requiring cleaning as with standard bodily pruning. It runs off of a neural lace at the base of her skull.
She is a relatively large cat with a coat of softened blade-like scales that harden when she is annoyed or threatened. She is a scant arid white. Although at first glance she looks quite small, when standing at full size rather than curled up she is quite sizable standing nearly 4 feet tall and 5 long. Her eyes are always alight with the blue glow.
// seriously I have no idea what to do, odin keeps vanishing for days at a time and I can't wrap my head around half of this stuff. Any help with understanding this would be appreciated

//Hey man, you can't expect Odin to constantly be able to get into the Nexus, he has (from what I've gathered) a rather large life outside of the Nexus.

//Again you don't even need to understand anything to write how your characters react to what they see. All you need to know is how your character works. Do you understand how catalytic converters work off the top of your head without looking it up? Probably not, but they're used in cars and some more advanced hand warmers and generators. But can you react to them still? They look like awkward burning sponges or cloth that spits out heat without an extended or very visible flame. Yes. Just, you know, react. Nobody has all the cards, nobody needs all the cards. Relax man, just go with the flow.

// Well, I make sure to engineer weaknesses for everything I come up with. The Anomalies are extra vulnerable to anything not explicitly considered physical matter, such as hardlight weapons/equipment, fire, explosions, electricity, and EMPs. The same will apply to any future 'intangible' or 'shadow' things that I introduce. Shadow Imps and most of this shade's minions are weak to the same things, as well as metal weapons (including good ol' bullets).
// Another thing that makes hardlight different from Aerogel is that it can block magical attacks. It's fairly easy to get a basic shielding unit, so it shouldn't be a problem for anyone to get one.
// Hopefully that puts you more at ease. Keep in mind that the general public doesn't know about Umbra's weaknesses for safety reasons, though. Otherwise, there'd probably have been multiple attempts on taking his life by now.

// but what exactly is hardlight? Worth remembering that photons don't emit light, they ARE light, so where do they come from in a given situation?

Excuse me? Sir?
Has this creature caused you any trouble?

Raahh...

// I don't remember my original explanation, but it's basically a form of 'force field' technology that not many know how to make. It was brought over from a connected world iirc.
// Hardlight is really just a name; the material itself is composed of an unknown material that can collide with 'intangible' forces like electricity, magic, fire, and intangible things. It's tough, but breakable. Works kind of like shields in games (like Reinhardt and Winston's shield abilities in Overwatch and the extra 'shields' health bar in some other games). I mostly came up with it for effective shield tech for the Guards, along with more portable weapons and the like.

A bit of time passes before State answers.
"Who are you and why are you knocking this late at night?"
Gregor was sleeping on Umbra's couch, probably. He didn't stir from the knocking.
