Qi, the Living Energy

" Qi is found in all living things around us. It gives life to all of it, and it exists for all to cherish. But, for those who are capable of manipulating this power, it allows them to achieve feats not capable by normal men." - Wen Shi Quan, Qi Master
  Qi is the source of all life in the world as its energy insures to bring life to others. In its natural state cannot be seen due to it being in an invisible state, but if something is alive they have it. But those who know to bring it forth shall be granted extraordinary abilities by manipulating their very own Qi. Often through certain points that connect across one's body to control the flow of it. Individuals such as these are called Qi Channelers and are considered mighty warriors, healers, and protectors of all things sacred. But to manipulate Qi is hard and difficult to master with only those who have mastered their body and mind can achieve. As long as Qi flows through a living being they will stay alive.

Manifestation

Qi manifests itself in colors for those who use it and can see it clearly with each one having its meanings.   Red Qi: the color of power, red Qi is used in fighting and aid the use by strengthening their attributes to make them better fighters.   Blue Qi: the color of protection, blue Qi aids in defense by creating a barrier around the user and heightening their sense to better defend themselves.   Yellow Qi: the color of healing, yellow Qi is a power that heals wounds and purifies the body of anyone who is touched by it.   Purple Qi: the color of magic, purple Qi can only be master by those who are born with magic in them, those capable of controlling it achieve a state of union between Qi and Magic become highly powerful.   Green Qi: the color of corruption, green Qi Is a sign of misuse and abuse of the gift of life as it takes it away from other living things to increase the power of the user.   Black Qi: the color of death, black Qi is the opposite of all living force as it feeds on the death of Qi to gain power turning its user into a monster of unfathomable destruction that despises life.

Localization

Qi is found in all living things no matter where you go. No one knows where it came from, but it is believed to be as old as the world itself. Anyone with the potential to master it can use it. This potential is often a person who has more Qi than the average person or is strong-willed. But they must be able to go through physical and mental training to master this skill to prepare themselves. For Qi is something the mind and body must be in sync to achieve. Meaning that it requires focus to be able to use it. Only a few thousand people out of millions can reach this state of power and are often a part of certain groups to achieve it. With most of them scattered around the land following their teachings and methods of using Qi. But places such as this can be used for dark purposes as well often to corrupt or drain its power causing the land to suffer or even die if too much damage is caused to it.   However, there are places across the land where Qi differs depending on how much of it exists in a place. Lush and green places have more Qi within them to give life, but there are places that Qi gives very little life. Making them harsh and desolate places, often where things cannot grow or very few living things can be found there. But the most powerful sources of it come from a Qi Well, a source of great power the centers around a region and will often bring prosperity and life to it as long as it flows.

The Giver of All Things

  Qi is a force that maintains life in all things, but even after something dies it remains in this world to seek out new life to give birth to. For everything yet to be born into the world deserve the right to live and a chance to experience it. No one knows how Qi is passed on to one another it is just passed on from one living thing to the next. But it is believed that all Qi is connected in some way or another, to some, it is believed to be connected by The Balance by Harmonists, while Kergoist believes that Qi comes from the heavens themselves they bring salvation to all.    

Qi Points

  Qi Point or Chakra Channels in some circles are areas in the body that allow Qi to flow freely throughout the body of a living thing. But there are serval major points that are distributed throughout the body to maintain control of it, these are the Mon, the Luen, the Chushe, and the Wushi.   Mon: The Mon is located in the mind, the mind is how Qi is focused through the body. Allowing it to manifest when it is called upon by the user.   Luen: The Luen is located in the stomach, it regulates flows of how much Qi is used in the body. It regulates the flow of Qi the user can have a better time in controlling Qi and not exert it too much.   Chushe: The Chushe, is located in the limbs, through them the Qi can be distributed to enable the user to use how much energy they need to go through them.   Wushi: The Wushi, is located in the heart, it is considered the most important of all the Qi points as it is the source of the Qi in the body. Through it, Qi will continue to flow throughout the body as long is has enough to give.
