[EXO] - Special trait or ability a person is born with. EXO abilities usually awaken sometime during puberty, however, there are cases of them awakening beforehand. If one does not awaken their EXO during that time they are classified as normal humans. It is to be noted that the earlier one awakens their EXO the stronger it is. Some EXO’s have a strong genetic trait thus allowing them to be passed down the family bloodline. EXO’s can be categorized into three categories, Offensive, Support, Defensive. There are people who can be born with more than one EXO however it is extremely rare. Those who have an EXO go to a specialized academy that teaches them how to use their ability correctly. Later they are able to apply for a certain division that they want to attend. Each division has their own responsibility and duty. Once a person graduates from the academy they are able to get a job based on the division they were in.

[EXO Essence] - An invisible source of power to the naked eye, it supplies EXO users with the power to use their abilities. The essence is floating around in the world and is used for a wide variety of things. An EXO user is able to absorb this essence through various training methods to increase the amount they have inside their body. Every person has a different capacity, meaning they all have a different amount of EXO essence they can hold in their body. EXO Essence can be absorbed by weapons of different kinds, making itself visible for a brief moment.

[EXO Flow] - Like a blood rushing through a vein, EXO essence flows through channels within the human body. An EXO user is given a constant supply of essence throughout their entire body. When they launch their ability the essence in their body flows in a certain direction. Every EXO user has a certain color of their flow, this represents what type of EXO ability type they have. Ex. Red Flow = Fire type EXO ability

[EXO Channels] - Like veins but they carry EXO essence throughout them. There are sixteen weak points in the body that can disrupt or cripple an EXO user. Hitting one of these points stops the flow of essence going through that channel.

[Overflow] - You pass the amount of essence your body can contain making the essence leak from your channels into your body. You are more than likely going to mutate or lose your sanity when you overflow.

[Divisions] - Offensive/Defensive/Support are the three divisions at the academy. As a student progresses through the years, they also attend different courses. There are four courses that are mandatory for a student to take before they graduate. These are, novice, intermediate, advanced, master. Every course has a different difficulty, and when a student advances through the courses their abilities also develop. It is possible to skip a course if you have enough talent and skill.

[EXO Classes] - Unlike normal schools were students would take multiple classes in a day for eight hours. At an EXO academy, students took one class for six hours a day. The teacher assigned to teach that class would then stay with you for the remainder for the school year. A student studied under one of the professors who either had their ability or knew a lot about it.

[Title] - In the academy, only the top 10 students for each year have an official title. There were also fan made titles given by students to other students. If a person had a title they were a very talented individual that people in the EXO community had to pay attention to them.

[EXO User Type] There are many type of roles an EXO user can play as depending on their ability. A person usually specializes in one type. These types are Vanguard, Warrior, Scout, Sniper, Mage, Tamer, Cleric, Assassin. Then there were support types, such as Weaponsmith, Explorer, Appraiser, Surveillance, Alchemist, Chef, Armorsmith, Tailor.

[Synergy] - Two bodies acting off one, both feeding off each other's essence to grow at steady pace.
