Pocket & Life Realms
I. FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
A. Realms — Definition and Types
What is a Realm? An entire universe/dimension. A single reality of that universe. Inside a Realm is an existence with many planets/worlds and lands, lush with various forms of life (or no sentient creatures at all, but life exists all the same). Within a single realm, are different points in time. It is the same realm, but depending on when you enter that world, the time era will be at a different stage. It could be an entirely different 'reality' or a different time period of that exact same Realm. All realms float within the waters of Purgatory (where souls go to float after they die).
REALMS ARE LIKE SHIPS OUT AT SEA. THE SEA IS PURGATORY. WHEN YOU DIE, YOU FALL INTO PURGATORY AND AWAIT THE NEXT SHIP TO PASS BY (AKA: REINCARNATION)
Realms of Life Any given realm where life exists. Typically referred to as 'the life realm' by those outside of the life realms. As realms of life are the only place where human souls (otherwise known as 'untouched' or 'Pure' souls) reside. Although there are plenty of realms where the main residents are not actually human, humans are the most prominent in these realms. Natural life realms do not contain (or rather, SHOULD NOT contain, demons or angels of any kind).
There are however, portals, heavily guarded in the two death realms, that lead directly into life realms, though these are unnatural occurrences. Portal holes will appear and disappear within life realms, and nobody's quite sure how it works, or why there are portal gates in death realms to begin with, but demons and angels have always taken advantage of these portals regardless.
Realms of Death Any given realm where souls, after passing through purgatory, end up after death. There are only two realms where souls accumulate after death in a life realm: Heaven and Hell: the death realms. The final destination for every soul in existence. To get to heaven or hell, one must pass through purgatory first. Death realms do not originally contain water or trees/plants, but there are effects that may resemble these traits of a Life Realm.
