The System (Leanne)

Note: Although The System has taken the name Leanne and prefers to be called by it, she is formally referred to as The System.

Note: The System currently has no physical form, but can create Agents that she can project into when she wants. Additionally, because she has no physical form, she can only do certain things with Pixel Power but she has the ability to create Skills, as she did with the Mysterious Soulflame and Reversion.

Spirit Color: Blue #008FD1

Temperament: Kind and compassionate, but understands that sometimes difficult decisions must be made

The System is Pixel Space’s all-seeing administrative AI, created to be as such by the people who made Pixel Space as a simulation. It has not yet been confirmed, but it is assumed that the person responsible for overseeing the simulation eventually became the System when needed. If this is true, she effectively merged with the system created to underpin all Pixel Space with its breaks from reality at this time.

The System has shown an ability to speak with other characters, especially inside the original Digitization Devices, and when she does this, the character will hear her voice from everywhere.

The System is one of the only characters at this time, the other being the Ascendant of the Lost, who are capable of saving others from fates worse than death. In this case, it’s through Reversion, a Skill she created for this purpose.

When a character is newly Digitized, a Pixel character is about to spawn in for the first time, or a soul is going through Reversion, they are transported to a space (called “the interim” by her and the Agents) where they can be conversed with and, in the case of the first two, taught anything they’d need to know in Pixel Space, including how to use their Pixel Skills. This is why Pixel Power Proficiencies are called that.

The System’s understanding that sometimes, difficult decisions must be made is the reason she created the Mysterious Soulflame, which due to not having a physical form she is unable to use, but she is able to bestow that power onto other characters, which she only does if she believes that character will use it responsibly. The System is also capable of stopping this power from being used, which is usually done if she believes if a character will use it on themselves or no longer believes they will use it responsibly.

It has not yet been confirmed, but it is possible that the Realm of Souls is used by the System to create characters, due to her not having a physical form and thus not being able to create characters normally.

The System has the ability to modify her power which is why she's able to create things like Reversion, and grant other characters the few Skills that she has at will. The System, at some point, gained controlled omniscience (which, in this case, lets her know anything she wants to know without having to remember it) last seen in Unnamed Character Types Entry mh not because being fully omniscient would overwhelm her, but because she doesn't want to see all the evils in the world. Those who have spoken to her previously can tell her when Reversion or any of the Skills she has created should be used, and although she is not compelled to do so, she most likely will, especially in cases of fates worse than death or of And I Must Scream, notable situations Reversion can be used to save characters from.

It may be possible to, like the Mysterious Soulflame, grant Reversion to a chosen few. However, it also may require the System’s all-seeing nature to be used effectively.

Known created Pixel Skills:
Reversion

Returns a Pixel character to simply being a soul. However, before going back to the Realm of Souls to return to their body, the soul is brought into the System’s care so that unwanted memories and anything else they would like to let go of can be removed. This cannot result in a Lost One as if the soul’s identity is removed, it behaves the same way as an unrealized Sparkling, eventually coming up with one on their own. Reversion is mainly used to bring Pixel characters back from a fate worse than death, but it can be used for other means as well. This Skill, as one of the abilities meant to aid in use of it, also grants the user the ability to sense souls that can be targeted by Reversion. This includes souls that are sealed away and prevented from affecting the body, as in Null Corruption.

Mysterious Soulflame

Enables a soul that did not originate from a Sparkling to behave as if it did, including fading away to the Realm of Spirits’ Sorrow if it is truly desired.
