ARCLIGHT is a luminous, clean energy that permeates the universe of arcadia. it manifests as glowing particles floating in the atmosphere. the people of arcadia have learned to harness arclight to power their advanced technology, from the neon lights illuminating the cities to the engines of sleek vehicles. arclight reacts strongly to living things - all races naturally generate small amounts of it.those who can manipulate arclight are called ARCLIGHTERS.

ARCLIGHT ATTUNEMENT LEVEL (AAL) represents the degree of an arclighter's mastery over arclight energy. the levels are:

‣ AAL-0: latent (no active control)
‣ AAL-1: novice (basic manipulation)
‣ AAL-2: adept (refined techniques)
‣ AAL-3: master (advanced mastery)
‣ AAL-4: resonant (pinnacle of attunement)higher aals correspond to greater reserves of arclight energy and stronger, more versatile powers.

ARCLIGHT AFFINITIES are specialized applications of arclight that arclighters can develop. the four core affinities are:

‣ AEGIS: defensive specialists who project protective arclight barriers and shields.
‣ VITALYS: support specialists who use arclight to mend wounds and revitalize allies.
‣ SPECTER: stealth specialists who bend arclight for invisibility, illusions, and phasing through shadows.
‣ ZENITH: burst specialists who can temporarily exceed their arclight limits for immense boosts to speed, strength, reflexes and durability, at great physical and mental cost. this core affinity is very rare.with intense training, arclighters can have two affinities at a time.

the FEDERATION OF ARCADIA (FOA), also known as "THE FEDERATION", "THE SEVEN" or "███ ██████████", is the world government who holds immense power and responsibility in shaping the future of arcadia. the FOA's primary function is to establish and enforce global laws and regulations that supersede those of individual countries, as well as ████ █████ ███ ███████.

key responsibilities of the FOA include:‣ global policy making
