Apparitions and Yokai

Miscellaneous

Apparitions are a magic manifestation of the grifix, but it seems to only occur in really big conglomerations of grifix, like the Frozen Empire.

The collective belief in something can create very vivid apparitions of that thing. They are like sphirix, beings formed of the grifix magic, but they look much more real and material. The only way to tell them appart from real things is to touch them. They even seem to develop their own will, based on the grifix's belief about their behavior. They can touch and move objects, but they can also pass through walls, but usually they don't because they are unaware of that possibility.

Apparitions form various beings from legens, things that do not exist in reality, and behave accordingly to those legends. Sometimes, apparitions are objects that have been in a place for a long time and have been suddenly removed, but the collective memory persists so an illusion of that object will form.

Illusion beings are particularly common around the entertainment district, while rarely being spotted outside. Perhaps that is because of the many myths and legends spoken in the entertainment houses. They are often refered to as "Yokai".

Illusion objects tend to appear anywhere in the Empire, but they don't have much impact on the life of grifix.

Yokai manifestations variants explanation:

Yokai Manifestation Entity grifix subspecies = believed by grifix to be grifix subspecies or fantastic variations of grifix. They are not real grifix so they don't need any lore explanation about how these subspecies came to be. However they themselves believe to be grifix subspecies and so do other grifix. This version will be usually sugested whenever someone wants to make a grifix subspecies.
They take birth when grifix in the Frozen Empire believe that a grifix subspecies exists: that grifix subspecies will manifest into existence. But they can only exist in the Frozen Empire and they are very unlikely to form outside of the Entertainment District. They require traits and subspecies pages. The characters appear in the masterlist and require MYO slots.

Yokai Manifestation Entity original species = believed by grifix to be a species of intelligent creatures. They are not real creatures so they don't need any lore explanation about their history. However they themselves believe to be real creatures and so do other grifix. This version will be usually sugested whenever someone wants to make a Grifixverse original species.
They take birth when grifix in the Frozen Empire believe that a certain species exists: that species will manifest into existence. But they can only exist in the Frozen Empire and they are very unlikely to form outside of the Entertainment District. They require traits and subspecies pages. The characters appear in the masterlist and require MYO slots.

Yokai Manifestation Entity individual = a single entity, not part of a believed species. Sometimes they will be grifix-like creatures. They can be intelligent or not. Examples: Yonaki, Chopirako, Kaonashi. They appear as characters in the Masterlist and require MYO slots. Some will also get Figure pages.

Yokai fauna species = species of yokai that are not intelligent, they behave and are considdered animals. Because of this they are not considered characters, they instead get fauna pages. They can also be used as sphirix. They can be found here. They do not appear in the masterlist, do not have character pages, but they have fauna pages.
