Oftentimes humanity underestimates the extent that their collective awareness influences physical reality. When certain ideas, concepts, or myths become prevalent throughout all of humankind they can gain physical form. These forms are known as Aspects and they take centuries to form.
Much in the same way that the Eldest drew their power from ancient concepts there are newer concepts that have gained a similar degree of prevalence in the age of heroes. These New Age Aspects, also referred too as Young Gods, are conceptual beings who possess powers that are connected to the concept they represent. For example the Aspect of Control, Legion, can raise an army of summons that he has full control over.

New Age Aspects are formless when they are born and require a host body of some kind. Most commonly these bodies are human but, there is nothing stopping the chosen host body from being an animal, collection of plants, condensed energy, etc. No matter the host body New Age Aspects all possess similar biology. They do not require food, sleep, or water and instead they draw power from the idea that they embody. They also possess a limited degree of immortality that is bound to their idea. As long as there is belief in what the aspect represents, the aspect will persist. Some Aspects even possess the ability to fully regenerate their host body if its destroyed.

Most commonly the aspect assumes full control over their host body; absorbing the soul of their host into their own form once they reach full power. Coexistence is possible for Aspects while they amass power but, they cannot reach their full potential unless their host soul willingly relinquishes it.

When a host body that can't be regenerated is destroyed the Aspect itself begins to seek out a new host. Since compatibility is usually required this process can take anywhere from days to centuries. The only way to truly kill an Aspect is for another Aspect to kill them.

This species is open for anyone to use so long as they do not modify the concept without running it by me first. There are only a few rules that I would prefer you abide by when making an Aspect. If you wanted to create outside these rules than just DM Absolucian in the Discord with your idea. This is just to ensure that the concept doesn’t evolve in ways that run against it.

There can be no two aspects of the same concept at the same time. IE: There shouldn’t be two Aspects of War.
Each Aspect can only represent one concept.
The concept you choose is up to you but, it needs to make sense. IE: There wouldn’t be a New Age Aspect of Iphones but, there could be a New Age Aspect of Communication or Data.
