Background
The Dark Matter have always existed within our world. We as humans chose to dismiss them as pure fantasy, because of our irrational fear of the unknown. Most Dark Matter reside on a parallel plane to ours called the Dosig where darkness reigns. They are able to easily slip in between our plane and the Dosig, to make themselves visible to others if they choose. Dark Matter are shapeshifters, and are able to take on any guise they want. As they spread throughout the world, Dark Matter took on forms out of necessity and based on the individual cultures they were surrounded by. These individuals formed groups, and their established cultures became the different breeds. Currently there are five main breeds of Dark Matter: the Djinn, the Yee Naaldlooshii, the Upir, the Equinfernal, and the Barghest. There are other forms of Dark Matter but they are rare. Their existence is only discussed in legend, and currently very little is known about them.
The physical makeup of Dark Matter is unstable. To counteract their instability they must take in energy to exist. This energy is known as Lonshin, and each breed specializes in absorbing different types of Lonshin. Some of these energies are benign such as the Yee who take Lonshin from the moon. Others are more harmful like the Upir who take their energy from human blood. This energy absorption is what gets the Dark Matter much of their horrific reputation. A careful Dark Matter will not take a life when they absorb energy, but too often inexperience or emotions can come into play resulting in lost lives.
All Dark Matter breeds are magick users, some more adept than others. If you ask the Djinn, they are the most powerful magick users of the breeds. The other breeds concede that they are the oldest organized breed, but disagree on whether that means the most powerful. After all, the Djinn are the only breed who humans have been able to enslave for their magick for thousands of years.
Welcome to the world of Dark Matter, a soon to be adoptable on PonyIsland. This brainchild of Demondreamer, features a dark world where the legends of things that go bump in the night are made real. Much of the storyline is based on actual legends, but have been twisted to fit within the storyline of the Dark Matter.
