͙͘͡★ CHARMS

A charm is a glass gem that holds a nectar inside. This nectar is the Aariciati's "blood". On the back of a gem, it has hooks that connect to the Aariciati's body and pumps nectar throughout the body. As long as the tube feeding through the body is secured, the Aariciati can safely remove it. As the Aariciati grows, the charm uses the excess nectar to form a nectar shell on the charm. This appears as a golden candy shell, but is actually quite hard. Aariciati can remove the charm and place it elsewhere with surgical procedure. If a charm shatters, the nectar of the body will pour out of the charm. Which leads to self-destruction of the charm within 24 hours. Shattering of a charm results in immediate death as the charm can no longer reach the tube, leading to immediate disconnection to the brain.

According to legend, when the world was created all Aariciati were humans. They had no charms, wings, special eyes; they were just humans. But since the world had so little resources other than the Aariciati, they resorted to cannibalism and caused anarchy. So, a god came in and crafted a charm. These charms made of glass held a special nectar so powerful that it could revive a god. Aariciati no longer had to hunt for fuel but rather complete daily tasks. A god would send out daily quests to each individual that would refuel the god's charm and the Aariciati's. Not after long, Aariciati shattered their charms. The god was unsure what to do. If a charm shattered, the other charms around the world would as well. So, out of concern for the life of other Aariciati, the god made a mechanism that connected the charm to the body of the user. This means that if a charm was on low health, it would self-destruct or paralyze the user. Even after all of this, a furious charm user came along and completely shattered their charm. The god turned her into the Executionist. These Executionists did the god's dirty work and kept the population down.

Every Aariciati is granted a small charm at birth. It is of their utmost concern to take care of this charm or death will collect them. These charms are small figures of varying shapes made of glass. Inside these charms is a nectar. This nectar automatically refills once a quest that is projected once a day on a Aariciati's palm is completed. These quests range in varying difficulty but correlate with the Aariciati's sin. Berries can be crushed into nectar and inserted into the charm for a quick refill. Mental and Physical health plays a large factor in the welfare of a charm. Those with low mental or physical health will drain faster than those with high mental or physical health.
