Fate Weaving

Fate Weavers

A Fate Weaver (shortened as FW) is not born. Instead, they are made from the moment that a person is willing to give up their mind, body, and soul to achieving something (whether that be material gain, social standing, physical prowess, to cease the existence of someone/something, etc.). A fate weaver generates Will and has access to a unique Will Manifestation (shortened as Manifestation).

Will

Will is a powerful "energy" generated by FWs. The most common use case for Will is physical reinforcement. One can choose to reinforce their strength, durability, and speed. It is pertinent for an FW to ensure that their durability can handle the level of strength and speed they choose. Those who are not aware of their Will/cannot manipulate it subconsciously enhance their strength, durability, and speed to the appropriate levels, so they are not particularly prone to destroying their own bodies by accidentally forgetting durability. As a general rule, more Will translates to a stronger and better fighter. FWs who have large amounts of Will also use their Manifestations to a higher level than those who don't.   Will is generated by an FW's longing to see what they desire to come to fruition. Once their desire ceases for whatever reason, they no longer can generate Will. Once they stop generating Will, their status as FW gradually decays until they are "Broken," those who no longer have access to the abilities of an FW. One can break an FW by directly or indirectly causing the FW to lose hope or motivation through whatever method.

Will Manifestation

Every FW has a certain Will Manifestation. Vinn, for example, has the Will Manifestation "All Consuming Void" and can learn or adopt the Will Manifestation of every FW he kills or breaks. Gnil's "Abhorrent Growth" allows him to regenerate and modify his body.   Will can also be used in generic ways. For example, it can be converted to kinetic energy, electricity, or it can simply be used to induce the transfer of energy, causing heat. More applications are possible and only the FW's understanding of Will, imagination, and natural forces limit what they can do with Will. This is usually only possible for those who have a deep understanding of their Will, or the particularly intelligent FWs. The act of using will in such a way is called "Will Control," or Control for brevity.

Manifestation

Fate weaving most often does not have a visual representation. Instead, fate weaving exudes a certain "aura" based on the fate weaver's personality, much like how people in real life can exude an intimidating, calming, or dreadful aura. Other fate weavers can feel this aura much more vibrantly, and they can even determine things relevant to combat such as killing intent, whether the fate weaver is afraid of losing or confident they can win, and their prospective movements (the more a fate weaver is cognizant of the other fate weaver's will, the more granular these readings become).

Localization

Will manifests itself everywhere, including parallel universes, other realities, and even the afterlife.
