A to Z
An A to Z list based on our group.
Amirah
Amirah is a member of our Group. Her father Rusahl is Sovereign of Tei Ekullas, giving her a leadership role in our Realm. She was born in the Realm, lived her child hood and early adult life in another realm, then returned home to us in 1994. Amirah has Planar blood, which is apparent by her large white feathered wings. She has been an important influence in helping maintain a functional and cohesive structure within our Group. She is an empathic healer and mother to 5 children. She lives with her family in a lighthouse near the port city of Silver Tide.
Body History
Body history includes every event this body was involved in, even if many individuals were not present while it took place. Body history is part of the identity used whenever we say we have a Singlet persona or a 'mask'. If the Singlet persona is in place, the body history becomes that body user's history. The only reason for this is to maintain a linear presence while around people we do not wish to have knowledge about us.
Cherish
Cherish or Charis is an ancient belief still found in our Realm on Tei Ekullas. It is the belief that sentient energy is responsible for holding the realms together. Without the Cherish, all known existence would break apart. The sentient energy resides between the realms, finding its way into a realm through gates and portals. Some believe the Cherish can take a physical shape in order to interact with inhabitants and influence the surroundings.
Drakorr
The Drakorr are a species believed to be one of the original inhabitants of Tei Ekullas. They are classed as telepathic avians. Some have a large wingspans, with wings similar in appearance to an earth manta. The Drakorr are nearly reptilian in appearance. A small curved horn rests on the bridge of their nasal cavity. They are covered with dark, coarse short hair above and softer velvety hair, a few shades lighter, below. They have muscled legs, and long retractable talons. The Drakorr are considered extremely ancient, perhaps even predating the arrival of the original Ekullan colonists. They are elusive, and contact with them is rare. The most well-known Drakorr currently is Jehrina.
Epitome
Epitome has several meanings in our Realm. 1) There is a planet in the Dragyn Consortium which hosts a species of cyborgs who are all connected via a sentient construct known as The Epitome. 2) There are some in our group who at one time liked to refer to our entire existence, including our Realm, this body and all inhabitants as the Kasiyan Epitome. 3) On Tei Ekullas, reaching perfect harmony has been known as 'finding the Epitome'.
Family
Family is the backbone of our group; whether through literal blood relations, joining with our partners, or connections made while using the body together. Family is what keeps us whole and sane in the possibly 'insane' situation of connecting to a Realm where thousands of minds dwell. We do everything to preserve family.
Gateway
Our Group is a Gateway. This body is a physical gateway that joins Earth and our Realm. There are also numerous gates, doors and portals throughout our Realm that links us to many other realms. Travel is a large part of our makeup. People travel to us, people travel away from us. Realms travel to and from our own. Gateway, above all other terminology, describes us best.
Henna's Temple
Henna's Temple has become one of many spiritual centers on Tei Ekullas. Henna resides there with Horus, their children, and many priests and priestesses. It is loosely Earth-Egyptian in design and influence, with open air corridors lined with sheer fabrics that ripple in the wind. The Temple hosts seasonal celebrations, is a refuge for the lost, and houses the 'womb room' where souls are healed or summoned for birth.
In-sourced
In-sourced, or internal source, is used by our Group as a category of origin for: 1) An unknown person from a known media source. 2) A person who began as an idea or a story character and then became sentient. At times 1 and 2 are combined. In-sourced people were also referred by us as thought-forms, but that usage isn't as common since once sentience is achieved 'thought form' makes them sound less of a person. (At least to us.) In-sourced is the simplest terminology many of us haven't a problem with; a person whose source was 'created' internally by another.
Jedi
A large amount of Jedi reside in our Realm. The reason is uncertain, but the Star Wars realm has had the largest and strongest connection with us for over 30 years. Many people from varying Star Wars canon sources, timelines and in-sourced have arrived to us - mostly as Jedi. They refer to themselves as either Light, Grey, or Dark. Many live in the Jedi Village, which contains a Jedi school for anyone with Force-potential. The more well-known Jedi who have used the body in the past are: Kasia, Romei, and Tristan.
Kasiya
Kasiya (pronounced kuh-say-uh) is the name we used from 2003 - 2008. During Suz's last year using the body, she, Amirah and Kasia shared body using time. They were part of a few spiritual circles who believed in Spirit Guides, Guardian Angels and reincarnated souls. Suz believed she was a split soul with another online person; soul sisters. Suz chose 'Kasiya' as the name of her soul. After she left, we used that as the name of our group; calling ourselves Kasiya System or the Kasiyans. Kasia was a main body user during that time and we went by Kas for her name and for the system name. In 2009, we wanted a change, especially since Kasia no longer came around. So we chose Silhouettes, which we still use.
Lighthouse
The lighthouse is one of Amirah's symbols. She was a main body user from 2003-2006. During those years, our home was filled with lighthouse representations - knick-knacks, paintings, mousepads, and mugs. She also lives in a lighthouse in our Realm. Tei Ekullas is orbited by a large space station that is known as the Stellar Lighthouse.
Mansion
The Mansion was the first place strongly identified and seen when our Realm became visible to group members. Hints of the Mansion's existence began by 1996. It resembles Xavier's school from Marvel Comics, with a traditional appearance for the upper levels and a technological setup in the lower levels. Many body users had rooms at the Mansion and would sleep there in the evenings, but they no longer do so since the creation of our headspace-foyer. The Mansion currently houses many children and teens who haven't yet found a family of their own, plus several others. The lower levels contain the infirmary. The upper levels contain dorms, kitchen, libraries, game room, dining room and a study. An immense garden grows out back, and a stable and school are nearby.
Non-human
Of the current 20 people around the body, there are: 6 non-humans, 8 Earth-humans, 5 non-Earth humans, and 1 uncategorized. In our Realm, non-humans are the majority. Basically because there is no Earth in our Realm, and Humans are from Earth. The non-Earth humans who live with us originated from Media Realms 'created' by Earth-humans. Many non-humans in our group have found it difficult to understand some of the traditions and behaviors that are considered normal here on Earth.
O'kew Stones
O'kew stones are a colorful mineral that can be polished into a glass-like form. These stones are used to create works of art on and inside architecture, along roads and pathways, and is worn as jewelry. It is rumored that the World Gem is one large O'kew stone. More than learned skill is required to work with the stones. A person must also be in-tune with the correct frequencies in order to change the stone's shape. O'kew artisans aren't as prevalent as they once were.
Planar
Planar is another name for certain beings who can exist between the realms or the nether. The difference between an actual Planar and an indigenous nether-realm creature is the ability to leave the nether and take on a form to interact with beings within the realms. The Ekullans have a quiet history of interactions with Planars throughout the planet's life cycle. There exist in our Realm various families with Planar DNA which has been passed down unfiltered through the generations.

Realm
Realm is the word we use in online conversations when referring to our 'inner world'. Our home Realm contains planets, stars, and galaxies. The physical body on this side is one of the many gates or doorways to our Realm.
Strand
Based on Ekullan beliefs, Strand is our Group's 'inner' terminology for an alternate dimension, realm, or a parallel universe. Each Strand is different based on the distance from the starting, home or Primary Strand. It is possible to travel through several Strands in any direction and find barely any differences from the home Strand. We refer to the ability to travel to multiple dimensions as Strand-hopping; which can also involve time travel.
Tei Ekullas
Tei Ekullas (pronounced Tie uh Kull iss) is the world relatively closest to the body. Most of our group members live on that world; either by birth or taking up residence. Tei Ekullas is the capital world of the Ekullan Protectorate - an affiliation containing seven main worlds. The capital planetary system is known either as the Ekullan System or by the name of their star - Tau Anaumin. The capital city is Eressea, which is also the name of the continent where this city resides. This is the home of the current Razna family.
