Egrassel

Demiurge is a term meaning "creator" or "maker." In the context of the seasons, demiurges are beings possessing the power not only to manipulate space but also to influence the natural flow of time. The ITO (Interdimensional Travel Organ), also known as the "Spark" or "Flash," is a special "organ" that allows for dimensional travel. It is located approximately between the lungs and extends via nerves into the spinal cord. Planeswalkers are beings possessing WMD, allowing them to freely move between worlds. They have enhanced stats and resistance to external factors, accelerated tissue regeneration, and a significantly increased lifespan, which varies depending on their race. Skint is a grain of a planeswalker's Spark, formed as a result of their movement between worlds. It can accumulate in one place, forming dark yellow crystals that are impossible to break without specialized equipment.

The structure of the multiverse The universe is a conventional designation for a cluster of one (for example, Archaea) or several closely spaced worlds. Sometimes the universe is called a multiverse. The multiverse is a conditionally infinite space that represents the totality of all universes on a plane. Realities (also known as parallel realities or parallel universes) are variations of a single multiverse located in the 5th dimension, constantly in motion, and almost never intersecting. These realities are connected by a common network of timelines, but represent different versions of the same events, worlds, and characters. The Interdimensional Void, also abbreviated as the Void (not to be confused with the Between Worlds and the Timeless Wasteland!), is matter that fills most of the multiverse. Normal beings cannot exist within it, as they are instantly torn apart. A "gap" is a point of contact or intersection between two realities, appearing randomly as a result of their constant movement. It has no effect on normal beings, but it can transmit a signal from one reality to the other, and, in theory, a small object. The Timeless Void, or Void for short (not to be confused with the Interdimensional Void!), is a kind of dimension in which time takes on a material form and replaces flatness. The Timeless Void allows travel to any point in space, time, and even the timeline of a specific multiverse. Only demiurges and the Watcher can enter this place. The Time Prison is a prison for the multiverse's most dangerous criminals. It is overseen by the Watcher, also known as the God of Time.

Archaea is one of the oldest worlds, located in reality 993, where the action takes place. Intelligent species Creature classes: Planeswalkers Types of creatures:

People; Purple flowers; Gnolls; Orcs; Dwarves; Elves. Anthropomorphic birds: Crows; Owls; Hawks.

7:00–8:00 AM — Wake up, hygiene, breakfast. In the morning, the first dose of medication is administered under the supervision of a doctor (this is a mandatory rule). 8:00 – 10:00 AM — "Healing Hour." This isn't just sitting around. During this time, the following activities take place: Group psychotherapy (small group of up to 8 people) or art therapy. Occupational therapy (modeling, drawing, simple crafts) – to restore motor skills and concentration. Individual conversations with your doctor (not every day, but regularly). 9:00 – 12:00 — Doctor’s rounds (the main event of the day, where the condition is discussed and treatment is adjusted). 10:00 – 12:00 — Walk in the fresh air. 12:30 – 14:00 14:00 – 16:00 – “Quiet hour” (afternoon nap). 4:00 PM – afternoon snack 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM — Free time. You can read, play board games, chat with other patients, or call family (phones are usually not collected). 17:30 – 18:00 – Dinner and evening medication intake. 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM – Personal time, watching TV, and personal hygiene. Lights out at 10:00 PM. Treatments: In addition to medication, psychotherapy, exercise therapy, occupational therapy, or hardware-based methods (biofeedback) may be prescribed. Showers or baths with essential oils should be scheduled and supervised.

Sharp or cutting objects, alcohol-containing products, strong-smelling substances, and cosmetics in glass containers are strictly prohibited. Smoking is permitted only in designated areas. There is no dress code; patients are welcome to wear whatever is comfortable.

Phones and headphones are usually not taken away, but doctors create a separate playlist for each patient. Patients are admitted to the inpatient unit for conditions requiring 24-hour monitoring, including psychotic episodes (hallucinations, delusions), suicidal ideation, severe aggression, severe depression, and personality disorders with decompensation. Severe somatic illnesses (heart attack, stroke, diabetes exacerbation) may contraindicate psychiatric hospitalization.

A psychiatric hospital (inpatient facility) is a medical institution for intensive care of all races with acute or severe mental disorders.

Main tasks:

Crisis management (hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, mania). 24-hour monitoring and security (protection of the patient and others). Selection of effective drug therapy under constant supervision of doctors.

Key differences from stereotypes:

This is a hospital, not a prison. People are admitted there only by voluntary consent or by court order (in cases of danger). A multidisciplinary team works inside: psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists. Modern clinics use open doors (in departments for non-violent patients), and the basis of treatment has become new generation drugs with fewer side effects.

Important: A hospital stay is not a life sentence, but a period (ranging from several weeks to two years) to stabilize the patient's condition. After discharge, the patient continues treatment as an outpatient or in a day hospital to return to normal life.

Fearlessness in the face of other people's madness: the ability to remain calm and clear-headed when the patient is screaming, frozen in a stupor, or claiming to be an alien. This is the "reality anchor." Unconditional acceptance: no moralizing. Egrassel works with the symptom rather than condemning the individual. Empathy without fusion: feels the patient’s pain, but is not infected by it (otherwise – emotional burnout). Clinical thinking: distinguishes delusions from allegories, depression from laziness, a side effect of antipsychotics from a relapse of the disease. Observation: notices micro-signs of deterioration (changes in look, intonation, smell) a day before a nurse notices it. Flexibility: Changes tactics every 15 minutes if the patient's condition is unstable. Mastering the pause: the ability to remain silent with a patient without feeling uncomfortable. In psychiatry, silence is more therapeutic than unnecessary words. De-escalation: Reduces aggression with voice and posture (without physical force). Translator: able to speak the patient’s language (everyday, figurative) to convey the need for treatment. Stress tolerance: Reacts to spitting, threats, and attempted attacks as work noise rather than a personal tragedy. Losing skills: accepts that remission isn't always achievable, and suicides happen. Doesn't beat oneself up for years, but draws conclusions. Working with supervision: honestly admits to oneself fears and mistakes. Honesty: does not manipulate the diagnosis for the sake of “convenient” treatment, does not keep the patient in the hospital longer than necessary. Respect for will: understands the line where caring becomes violence (even for the good). Pedantry in the medical history (every word can become evidence in court). Able to work in a team with orderlies, psychologists and social workers without becoming a “warden”.

Egrassel is the attending physician at the psychiatric hospital. One of the most beloved doctors in the department, many patients refuse to take medications from other doctors unless Egrassel gives them.

Egrassel gives the impression of being calm, gentle, and patient. He rarely raises his voice, preferring to listen to others first and then speak. His manners are polite and well-mannered, and his words are cautious. He dislikes conflict and strives to resolve disagreements peacefully, although when necessary, he is capable of firmly defending his principles. By nature, he is kind and sympathetic. He finds it difficult to ignore the misfortunes of others, even if helping requires time or effort. However, he expresses his concern not with loud words, but with actions: he will bring medicine, stay by your side during difficult times, and discreetly support when needed. He is dreamy and observant. He loves silence, nature, books, and long walks, noticing the little things that others usually miss. He is a thrifty, skilled healer and magician. He is well-versed in the moods of others and has a well-developed empathy, which makes it difficult for him to bear the pain and injustice of others. Among close friends, he reveals a completely different side: he smiles more easily, enjoys quiet jokes, can indulge in a bit of mischief, and genuinely enjoys simple moments. Despite his outward gentleness, he possesses a strong character within, is loyal to his convictions, and is willing to go the extra mile for those he considers his family.

He is a youthful-looking elf with refined features. His skin is fair, with a delicate pinkish-peach hue and a natural flush, particularly noticeable on his cheeks, nose, and ears, giving his face a lively and soft appearance. His face is oval, with fine, smooth features: a neat, straight nose, small lips, and a soft jawline. His eyes, always filled with a soft, tender expression, are a vibrant green. His most noticeable feature is his pointed elven ears. His hair is very long, thick, and wavy, a warm golden-blond shade. It is pulled back into a high, loose ponytail, tied with a dark ribbon, but many strands remain free, framing his face and falling onto his shoulders. His bangs are voluminous, slightly tousled, with long strands covering part of his forehead and temples. At the back, his hair reaches almost to his lower back, forming soft waves and slight curls at the ends. His build is slender and toned, with broad shoulders, a long neck, and a slim waist. From the back, the defined muscles of his shoulders, arms, and upper back are clearly visible, indicating good physical fitness. He wears a dark green shirt. The sleeves are gathered at elastic cuffs, creating a fuller appearance. An unbuttoned doctor's coat is worn over the shirt. His waist is accentuated by a wide, black, smooth leather belt with a massive, rectangular, silver-colored metal buckle. Below, brown trousers are visible, softly pleated at the waist, creating a loose silhouette. His shoes are closed-toe, black leather lace-up boots.
