Figments and Constructs

"Figments" and "Constructs" serve as terms that describe distinct facets of the mind given metaphysical form within the realms of Mindscapes and Dreamscapes.
Figments embody singular thoughts, making them inherently simple in nature. Due to their limited scope, figments are often short-lived and can be disrupted by even novice psions. These ethereal representations lack a profound level of awareness, rendering interactions with them challenging. They frequently become targets for Mnemonic Entities that possess predatory tendencies, drawn to their vulnerability and simplicity.
On the other hand, Constructs exhibit a higher degree of complexity. They materialize as manifestations of various facets of the mind, encompassing a range of elements from intricate thought processes to lingering anxieties, and even genetic memories. The intricacy of a construct, as well as its potency and potential threat, corresponds to the complexity of the thoughts it represents. Constructs that stem from deeply intricate thoughts can possess significant intelligence and strength, sometimes even mimicking the appearance and behavior of actual individuals.
High-level constructs, formed from intricate mental frameworks, can be remarkably intricate, to the extent that they might appear indistinguishable from real people. These intricate manifestations stand as a testament to the interconnectedness of the mind's complexities and the metaphysical potential of Mindscape and Dreamscape.
In this surreal realm where thoughts take on tangible form, figments and constructs represent the spectrum of mental manifestations, embodying the subtleties and profundities of consciousness. The interplay between these ethereal entities and the minds that shape them underscores the intricate balance between the tangible and the intangible, inviting exploration and contemplation of the boundaries of thought and form.

Manifestation

In the realm of Mindscapes and Dreamscapes, both Constructs and Figments possess the remarkable ability to assume a wide variety of appearances, limited only by the boundaries of imagination and cognition.
Figments, which typically embody singular thoughts or concepts, often manifest as inanimate objects within these metaphysical landscapes. When figments take the form of living creatures, their appearance tends to have an artificial or unnatural quality. They may exhibit subtle translucency, bizarre blocky shapes, or erratic movements that set them apart from the seamless realism of the physical world.
On the other hand, Constructs, with their greater complexity, often take the form of living creatures, often with an amazing degree of fidelity. These beings can be virtually indistinguishable from their real-world counterparts, blending seamlessly into the metaphysical realm they inhabit. This mimicry extends to their appearance, behavior, and even interactions, making them compelling and lifelike entities.
For Constructs that embody inanimate objects, their forms often take on grand and ornate qualities that reflect the intricate and imaginative nature of the thoughts or concepts they represent. These Constructed objects can be beautifully detailed and exude an air of grandeur, serving as captivating focal points within the metaphysical landscape.
The remarkable flexibility in appearance that both Constructs and Figments exhibit underscores the limitless potential of the metaphysical realms, where the creative powers of the mind shape and define the very fabric of reality. In these ethereal landscapes, the fluidity of form allows for the exploration of the subconscious and the unfettered expression of thoughts and ideas, making them a captivating and enigmatic realm of existence.

Localization

Figments and Constructs are intricately tied to the individual minds from which they originate. Their existence remains inherently localized, existing solely within the mental landscape that gave rise to them. Any endeavor to transfer them into or across the expanse of the Collective Subconscious triggers a destabilization of the psychic energies that shape and sustain them, leading to a rapid dissipation of their metaphysical form.
This distinct limitation underscores the intimate connection between these metaphysical entities and the unique cognitive makeup of the individual. Figments and Constructs are products of the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that define an individual's consciousness. Their confinement to the mind that birthed them serves as a reminder of the intrinsic bond between the realms of thought and metaphysical existence.
As such, the attempt to transcend these boundaries and venture into the broader expanse of the Collective Subconscious results in the unraveling of their metaphysical form. This phenomenon serves as a testament to the delicate balance that underlies their existence and highlights the intricate interplay between the individual mind and the vast, enigmatic realm of metaphysical energies.
Figments and Constructs, while remaining bound to the confines of their origin, continue to inspire contemplation about the nature of thought, the complexities of consciousness, and the limits of metaphysical exploration within the realms of Mindscapes and Dreamscapes.
