The Stats and other parts of Trinity Explained

I won’t be explaining every little detail of my story here since I would like to slowly feed things as they become relevant making the story flow smoothly so don’t expect too many info dumps.

Strength/STR: This stat determines the overall strength of the individual. This directly affects how hard they can hit as well how much force they can exert. This does not mean this is the amount shown at all times. It’s more like their maximum capability without any modifiers affecting it. The amount of this strength that can be used by the body all depends on where they use it. For example, with humans, their legs are usually the strongest part of their body so more of this strength can be used by that body part compared to something like your pinky. I’ve done a lot of math to get a numerical value for this stat but I won’t release it to keep writing simply for myself, though anyone that can figure it out on their own will leave me impressed. -Hint it's in kilograms. (Beat down your enemies with overwhelming Strength)

Agility/AGI: This stat determines the overall agility of the individual. This can also affect how hard you hit. Agility can be considered relative. For example, a monkey might be more agile in a forest because of the trees than a human. But Humans on a flat area would run circles around a monkey. Still, though this affects your movement speed, in either situation it just how the individual is able to use this movement speed. This stat determines instinctual reaction time. -Same as with strength, after a lot of math I came up with the best numerical value for 1 agility. (Become untouchable none are able to contend with your Graceful Speed)

Endurance/END: This stat determines the overall rate at which you experience physical fatigue, as well as the amount of punishment your body can take. This stat reduces how fast your stamina goes down. Certain body parts can still experience fatigue more than others if they aren't properly trained. For example, if you are walking on your hands instead of your legs you consumption of stamina will, of course, be higher than if you used your legs. The higher this is the greater you will also be at resisting pain in general. (Become Everlasting as other’s fall before your feet in Exhaustion.)

Wisdom/WIS: This stat determines the overall rate at which you experience mental fatigue. This stat determines how much mana your soul can hold. The mind and soul are closely connected and the soul could be considered a backup for the mind if it were ever shattered. The higher your wisdom becomes the more your memory improves.(Become what the world needs as your wisdom leads to a better future.)

Intelligence/INT: This stat determines the amount of power your abilities/spells contain. For example two people with the ability to cast fireball attack one another, one has double the intelligence of the other so his spell will be twice as powerful as the other individuals without any additional modifiers. This stat reduces how much mana abilities use. This stat is responsible for mana regeneration. If this stat is too high compared to wisdom problems can occur because if intelligence were to be compared to software wisdom would be the hardware. This stat also determines the processing speed of the mind as well as voluntary reaction time. (Become the embodiment of intelligence as you learn all there is to know .)

Willpower/WIL : It is the numerical value of the soul. This stat determines the speed at which your soul can regenerate. Determines how well you can resist soul attacks or abilities. This stat is not always static and can change even without outside interference, this is because willpower is born from the individual. If you don’t want to resist something then of course this stat will go down. The same is true if you are trying your hardest to resist, this stat will go up. When this stat is in its passive state it repels other passive soul attacks if it's high enough compared to the attack. (Become Indomitable as other kneel before your willpower.)

Vitality/VIT: This is a fusion of 4 stats. These stats are as followed 25% of Strength 25% of Endurance, 25% of Wisdom, and 25% of Willpower. This stat is completely static because of Willpower. This stat determines how much damage you can take from all manner of attacks. For example Mind attacks, Physical-based attacks, and Soul attacks. Determines Health regeneration. (Become indomitable as others fall to the sickness called mortality.)

Perception/PER: This stat determines the overall capabilities of your senses. Some senses are stronger than others but it doesn't change your overall perception only how you sense the world around you. (Become the one who perceives all as others remain ignorant.)

 Corporis in Trinity

Cultivation Realms: I will only reveal the first realm for now.

First realm, The realm of the Mortal. 10 points to every stat, every level with a total of 10 levels. Cultivation isn’t possible until the Arête awakens.

Cultivation Method: This is how individuals are able to go up the cultivation levels. It circulates the mana in the atmosphere through the individual's body to improve the individual. The can also be improved quicker through other methods, such as refined mana elixirs. They provide additional stats. The location also matters, for example, one method might speed up cultivation in hot areas while another could do the same in a colder area. Same could also be said for decreasing the speed of cultivation in inadequate locations. These methods sometimes come with martial arts, to learn as you train. Some special cultivation methods come with a set of martial arts only usable if you're cultivating the one that provides them.

Martial Arts: Make up a series of Martial Moves with a concept built around it. Martial moves can be integrated into the Arts if they are compatible, providing a bonus to the Martial move in addition to the attribute bonus. 

Martial Moves:  These can both be passive and active. They can be created from the cultivation method or from separate existing one can be integrated as long as the cultivation method does not reject it. You can exhibit all attributes Martial Moves even if you don’t have it, but the magical portion is weaker without the attribute. These all have ranks to determine quality. Martial moves compared to spells are similar but with the difference that the mana is circulated throughout the body with martial moves, with the body being the medium. Spells use an object outside the body as a medium. They both draw in mana from the soul.

Arête in Trinity

The Arête is pretty much the magical side of the Trinity. An Arête has a name and can have a number of things that make up the Arête. For example, someone’s Arête is called Elemental master which gives them multiple active Skills or passive Skills related to multiple attributes. Then another individual has an Arête called Dominator of Fire. That individual might have just as many passives or active abilities as the other and can show more power through fire, but his adaptability is lower than the other who has multiple options for growth. The Arête is located in the soul. Skills given by the Arête will always be marked as part of the Arête. Just because a skill is part of an arete doesn't mean it can't be learned, unless it's labeled as unique. An Arête is simply a combination of skills.

Attributes are what the mana is aligned with. Usually, ambient mana is attributeless and useless until processed. The Main attributes are as follows Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind, Darkness, Light, Wind, Chaos, Order, Life, Death, Space, Time. Lightning is actually a sub-attribute but its power is so formidable that it can be compared to the main attribute and is treated as so, leaving it the only main attribute without a direct enemy or ally attributes. There some more secondary attributes that are under all of the main ones, they are either lower more specialized versions or attributes that can be artificially created/unlocked by properly fusing 2 attributes. For example, the sub-attribute ice can be found under the main attribute water once you gain enough understanding about the attribute. It can also be unlocked at a lower rank if you can fuse wind and water attributes. 

Another part of the Arête the spellcasting side. Once someone’s Arête awakens at the age of 12, their ability to manipulate mana outside the body also awakens. Spells can be cast in a number of ways. The most popular is chanting. The amount of spells a soul can contain is determined by the soul. Too many spells at once will decrease your progression in other spells. The process of learning a spell is complicated with having to formulate the spell from a skeleton frame and add your own understanding and meaning to it.

Spells that are cast without the individual having the Affinity that the chosen spell focuses on are nothing compared to when they do have it. Spells can be created, found or learned. The all have rankings to determine quality/effectiveness.

System of Yggdrasil

Yggdrasil is what connects everything together as well. It provides all individuals with a chance to grow. Without this, the other 2 parts of the Trinity's wouldn’t be able to expand and evolve. Its branches are the infinite possibilities. Every time you level up you gain 5 stat points that you can put into stats any way you would like. Every 10 Levels you gain an Apex point that provides you with the next step in evolving a maxed out Spell or martial art. Every 100 levels you get a Superior Apex that lets you evolve a skill of your Arête. You can also get Apex points for giving the Yggdrasil items that it uses as Loot in dungeons. It's because of Yggdrasil that even a low-rank Arête can become a force to be reckoned with once it evolves.

Everything has a path it could follow so it's not just your Arête or stats that will increase. Yggdrasil also provides all beings at the macro level the ability to change and evolve. With Non-sentient beings, they evolve at an instinctual level towards what they would have wanted if they were sentient thanks to Yggdrasil help. Yggdrasil is used in a variety of ways by sentient beings, such as producing contracts. The character sheet is what is used to determine an individual's strength.

Mediums- mana needs a filter to pass through when being used. With martial Moves that filter is the body, and with Spells that filter is any object the user deems good enough, as long as it can handle the mana passing through it. Spells can also be cast if you use your brain as a medium, but the effect is reduced to around 50% and can cause severe headaches and even death if overused. Weapons can also be used as a fusion medium where its used for certain martial arts, and spells. This is extremely difficult to do and only the most talented of individuals can do this.
