Life Cycle
New Life to Death: Everyone starts off as a Soul in the Spirit Realm. Then, the Reaper will come to the soul to tell them that it's time to begin a New Life in Flesh Realm. The soul is taken to a random place in Gaia, and they DO NOT get to choose what exactly they are(they lose the privilege to change their form). They live their life until Death arrives, and the Reaper comes to grab their soul(which is unconscious until the Reaper wakes them up). The Reaper makes sure to take the soul away from their Vessel so that no memories can resurface. There's a chance the soul will still remember some things, such as their appearance or certain events, but the Reaper makes sure that the soul never knows what their Vessel looked like after Death or the people they were around. At this point, they roam around Spirit Realm and either decide to stay there or go to the other spiritual domains available and attempt to live there.
​
Reincarnation: No matter what a soul is doing, there will come a point in time until the Reaper comes back to that soul and tells them that it is time to start a New Life once again. This is called Reincarnation. The difference is once a soul reincarnates and returns to Flesh Realm, there's a VERY LOW chance of them remembering their Past Life or their journey in the Spirit Realm. They have to start on a new page, basically. There's no limited amount of times that a soul can reincarnate. There's also no way for a soul to determine when exactly they'll have to go through the process.That is all up to the Reaper. Just like Death, Reincarnation can happen at any time, anywhere.
​
Spirit Life: When a soul goes to particular place in Spirit Realm, they evolve to fit in their new environment(i.e. A soul goes to Maza and they become a Malaiki, Upindelaiki, or Kuoka), but just because a soul goes through that spiritual evolution, that does NOT mean they went through Reincarnation. Reincarnation is a soul going from Spirit Realm to Flesh Realm, living their New Life in flesh until it’s time for Death. Basically, evolved spirits such as Malaikis, Peonis, Upemis, and Ichukis are STILL spirits and are just living their Spirit Life in whatever place in Spirit Realm they feel most comfortable in. The only difference between evolved souls and regular souls is that evolved souls have higher spiritual energy, so they can have a Flesh Form and be seen by everyone in Flesh Realm, while regular souls will have to get crafty and either possess someone, attempt to directly talk to someone, or mess with stuff in their environment in order to make their presence known(most Gaians call these spirits "ghosts"). The only similarities that evolved souls and regular souls share is that they’re all able to learn magical abilities and animals and plants can see and/or sense them.
​
Reset: A process that only spirits go through. To put in simple terms, it’s a spiritual being’s “Game Over” screen, and they do have the ability to come back. When something or someone smites them, all of their energy depletes and they revert back to their first form(the small white flame). After a while, they gain enough energy to take whatever form they want again, but they lose their items and all magical abilities they’ve learned up to that point. Even the powers they were born with may not be as strong as it once was.
