POWER COLORS

While little is known about their nature currently, our working theory is that they are created by some outside force… something outside the scope of even ZALGARSHI herself. While we don't know where power colors come from, we know that power colors themselves pale in comparison to what they seem to be capable of producing.

FRAGMENTS

Fragments are sentient life forms brought about using two or more power colors akin to batteries. There are two main kinds of fragments that have been observed thus far.

NATURAL FRAGMENTS are fragments that have been formed independently from experiments run by people like the ZALGANG who may have gotten their hands on raw power colors. LEGENDARY DRAGON is an example of a natural fragment. All natural fragments seem to derive from specific counterparts of characters who exist across the multiverse.

ARTIFICIAL FRAGMENTS are fragments created by a third party via mixing colors together. They are oftentimes less stable than natural ones, though there has yet to be a situation in which an artificial fragment has outright collapsed in on itself. Research and experiments are still ongoing.

SAFETY MEASURES

Fragments are graded on a scale based on how dangerous they may be to outsiders. The scale is as follows:
Innocuous - Fragments with no malice or physically incapable of causing any substantial harm are placed under this category. If you put it in a box, and nothing happens, it's most likely this tier.
Ignomic - Fragments that are capable of causing substantial mental or physical harm, but aren’t lethal. These fragments usually aren’t doing so intentionally, but there are exceptions. If you put it in a box with something living, and that living thing is injured, then it's most likely this tier.
Obloquic - Fragments that are capable of killing one or more people, are expressly dangerous, typically hostile, but not outright malicious. If you put it in a box with something living, and that living thing is killed accidentally, then it's most likely this tier.
vexatious- Vexatious fragments are capable of killing multiple people (or at least claim to be), are outright malicious, and have a constant drive to inflict harm. If you put it in a box with something living, and that living thing is killed intentionally, then it's most likely this tier. Vexatious fragments are to be eliminated on sight, no matter the cost.
Unprecedented - Fragments that fit into none of the categories presented, due to lack of information, unknown motives, or unquantifiable power.

FRAGMENT 001 - LILITH ~ LOG SUBMITTED BY ZALGIATE

POWER COLORS: CRIMSON - JET - STEEL

CREATION: ARTIFICAL

THREAT LEVEL: INNOCUOUS

APPEARANCE:

FRAGMENT 001 is nearly identical to Lilith from the Binding of Issac: Afterbirth DLC, with three notable differences. FRAGMENT 001 has no legs, and can float on command. FRAGMENT 001's hair is significantly longer then its source material, constantly covering one of its eyes, and FRAGMENT 001 has no blindfold covering its eyes.

ENCOUNTER DETAILS:

FRAGMENT 001 was created by BOYFRIEND in an experiment with tri-color fragments. FRAGMENT 001 was able to create a small flying demon to spit congealed CRIMSON at what FRAGMENT 001 perceived to be hostile. FRAGMENT 001 was calmed easily and did not injure anyone. FRAGMENT 001 was allowed to visit the hub with supervision due to its sentient and relatively docile nature. Observation was stopped when FRAGMENT 001 never exhibited aggressive tendencies.

NOTES:

FRAGMENT 001 does not have typical sight- instead, FRAGMENT 001 appears to be able to see creatures' souls and auras, allowing for FRAGMENT 001 to navigate naturally. FRAGMENT 001 appears to have been adopted by ENNARD, a lobby denizen.

FRAGMENT 002 - SHARPSHOOTER ~ LOG SUBMITTED BY AKAHO KIMURA

POWER COLORS: FLAME - MINT

CREATION: NATURAL

THREAT LEVEL: OBLOQUIC

APPEARANCE:

SHARPSHOOTER is a Newgrounds-inspired take on "PICO", the unofficial mascot of "NEWGROUNDS". It has "HANK WIMBLETON's" goggles, the "CASTLE CRASHER's" …hairline, the antennae of "ALIEN HOMINID", which we're unsure if they're functional, and the "ANGRY FAIC". Otherwise, it's quite faithful to the original design of "PICO". It also is usually seen wielding a typical combat knife and uzi.

ENCOUNTER DETAILS:

SHARPSHOOTER appeared into the "TOURNEY LOBBY" one night, and seemed to be rather peaceful during talks, willing to talk things out before jumping to violence, yet still commonly brandishing it's weapons. It was introduced shortly before.. an event I'm not allowed to discuss here, but it greatly impacted SHARPSHOOTER once it broke back out with the other fragments. It became very protective of the others, before once again calming back down. It soon began to hang around the lobby, commonly seen with "SUSPECTER", the two seeming to form a friendship over time, with SHARPSHOOTER practicing his aiming with "SUSPECTER's" bottles.

FRAGMENT 003 - LEGENDARY DRAGON ~ LOG SUBMITTED BY YURI LECLERC

POWER COLORS: WHITE - CRIMSON

CREATION: NATURAL

THREAT LEVEL: OBLOQUIC

APPEARANCE:

FRAGMENT 003 takes the appearance of Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza franchise. His left arm has been replaced by an Eastern dragon, which can extend and breathe fire. The right side of his face is cracked, taking the appearance of broken glass. During battle, FRAGMENT 003 has a fiery aura, similar to the Heat mechanic in the Yakuza games.

ENCOUNTER DETAILS:

FRAGMENT 003's first appearance was in the TOURNEY LOBBY, with SHARPSHOOTER and SUSPECTOR. FRAGMENT 003 is rather peaceful, as if it doesn't want to resort to combat. However, during a conversation with ZALGANG, FRAGMENT 003 demanded that they prove themselves before they obtained its help. After a month of ZALGANG not fighting it because it's god damn KIRYU, FRAGMENT 003 returned to the lobby, where it resides as of the writing of this document.

NOTES:

"I am NOT fighting fucking KAZUMA KIRYU, especially a souped up version of him. Frankly, I didn't think it was possible to improve upon Kiryu." - Yuri Leclerc

FRAGMENT 004 - APOLLYON ~ LOG SUBMITTED BY ZALGIATE

POWER COLORS: - CRIMSON - JET - STEEL

CREATION: NATURAL

THREAT LEVEL: INNOCUOUS, BUT OBLOQUIC IN POWER

COMPONENTS:

FRAGMENT 004-A - The Fragment itself
FRAGMENT 004-B - The locale the Fragment was found within
FRAGMENT 004-C - The item pocketed by the Fragment

APPEARANCE:

FRAGMENT 004-A resembles Tainted APOLLYON from the Binding of Isaac Repentance DLC, though FRAGMENT 004-A does not have legs or a torso. Instead, FRAGMENT 004-A's 'body' is formed into two large wings. FRAGMENT 004-A does not appear to use the wings themselves to fly split down the middle, right side being a similar consistency and texture to that of rock and bearing STEEL coloration, and FRAGMENT 004-A's right side being wispy and soft to the touch, bearing CRIMSON coloration. FRAGMENT 004-A's CRIMSON half pulses softly, the only indication to FRAGMENT 004-A breathing.

ENCOUNTER DETAILS:

FRAGMENT 004-A was first found in FRAGMENT 004-B, a 'haven of scrapped ideas and cut content', where it was encountered by NIGHTMARE. FRAGMENT 004-A claimed to be trapped in FRAGMENT 004-B, and was gathering power to defeat a creature that resided in FRAGMENT 004-B called 'DELIRIUM'. FRAGMENT 004-A seems to have incredible power due to an artifact it carries (FRAGMENT 004-C), which can absorb other artifacts, and mimics all absorbed artifacts effects when FRAGMENT 004-C is used again. Through a portal in FRAGMENT 004-B, FRAGMENT 004-A was able to escape FRAGMENT 004-B, and is now residing peacefully with NIGHTMARE.

NOTES:

A extensive article on 004-B and/or 'DELIRIUM' will most likely be required in the future, though we should gather more data first.

FRAGMENT 005 - [MEMETIC KILL AGENT AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED] ~ LOG SUBMITTED BY YURI LECLERC

POWER COLORS: MINT - HIGHLIGHTER

CREATION: ARTIFICAL?

THREAT LEVEL: UNPRECIDENTED

APPEARANCE:

FRAGMENT 005 takes the appearance of a muscular pepper. Unlike other fragments, FRAGMENT 005 is not limited to just Power Colors for their appearance. Nobody knows why. This appearance is but a shell, and their true appearance is unknown.

ENCOUNTER DETAILS:

FRAGMENT 005 was formed in secret in the original Power Color Lab. After months of forming, it broke out on its own action, freeing MATERNAL INSULT as well. It stayed completely still, and only its eyes have moved. Otherworldly whispers filled the air around it. After it broke out, ZALGANG moved the Power Color equipment to their personal base.

NOTES:

Note from ZALGIATE. This was just, like, ~500 repeats of "Don't break the shell".
