	Aspect soldiers are capable of directly using magic and this is most prominently manifested in their Avatar. Avatar's are manifestations of will that result as magitech armour and weaponry. The creation requires dedicated meditation and training, most militaries will direct their Aspect Soldiers to manifest specific armour and weaponry, in order to maintain a unified and disciplined cadre of Aspect Soldiers. The Zhinra ~~Corporate Republic~~ Aspects for example maintain futuristic black and gold power armour, with large oversized gauss rifle weaponry.

	Aspect Soldiers are the pinnacle of Crystalium technology, most materia are worn as bracelets, or embedded into weaponry or armour, Aspect Soldiers have a core of Crystalium directly implanted into their body, usually the forehead directly connecting to the brain~~, or in some cases, an eye socket~~. This allows the Crystallium to use the electrical signals of the brain in order to rewrite physical laws. Not everyone can be a Aspect soldier, certain genetic abnormalities are required in order to create a stable Aspect.

	As it is easier to manipulate inorganic matter for most Aspects, the majority of them use varying amounts of cybernetics.		As it is easier to manipulate inorganic matter for most Aspects, the majority of them use varying amounts of cybernetics.

	Avatar Knights: This term refers to those Aspects who focus their Avatars into personal armour. They also hone their physical augmentations, strengthening and fortifying themselves to superhuman degrees. Many develop build-in weapons and other systems into their constructs, and greater Knights increase the Avatar’s size to become giant war machines. Many of them are supernaturally strong, capable of bounding across battlefields or dodging bullets.		Avatar Knights: This term refers to those Aspects who focus their Avatars into personal armour.

	These stony-skinned creatures are the natural product of crystal buildup, stone animated by material growth and given life. No two gargoyles are alike, but most are animalistic forms, hybrids of seemingly-random creatures. Most are incredibly strong and resilient, though they’re often a bit lumbering (this is not always the case). They have no uniform size; some are truly gigantic.

	Only a few gargoyles are sentient, but those that are tend to be predatory and domineering. ~~They~~ often lead hordes of gargoyles to attack nearby villages, and take the crystal sources as their own.

	Zone Romeo in geographical terms is a region of flat red desert, much like the surface of mars. There are several rivers which have formed various Canyons that put the Grand Canyon in North America to shame. The nations of the United Nations Mu Accords have set up various research bases, military outposts and some cities here, ~~irritative~~ techniques have allowed the introduction and growing of native earth flora. There are a few ruins of interest.		Zone Romeo in geographical terms is a region of flat red desert, much like the surface of mars.

	Mu2 is a large continent the size of Antarctica, that occupies the southern pole of the Earth. It is temperate, mysterious and dangerous. The only known locals are the mysterious and often ellusive Mu Lords, strange pale meta-humans who inhabit strange cities on the inner portions of the major landmass. Mu2 causes significant issues with it's climatic situation, causing storms, floods and other chaotic behaviour in the southern hemisphere.

	Moon Lords are natives of Mu Two . Rarely seen, their appearance is however plastered across Earth's datanet.

	It should be noted that the major powers of the world are by virtue of their Crystallium, it holds power exceeding that of natural resources, population or technology. A small nation with a Aspect Cadre is akin to a fully armed nuclear nation state and Crystallium technology is lucrative and difficult to steal giving considerable economic power to those who guard it well.
