What is it about?
Synopsis:
Under The Mask (UTM) is an Anime Style Inspired Fantasy/Action/Supernatural animated series which will be uploaded to YouTube. It follows Shi, a mysterious girl who is plunged into the world of Demons as she journeys to discover who she is and where she came from.
The World of UTM
The world of UTM is on one side, the Human Realm, the modern everyday place humans call home. And the magical fantasy world which Demons call home, the Demon Realm. These two worlds from altering universes are made possible to travel to and from by Portals placed there by Demons.
However for the most part, only demons use this portals to travel back and fore through the realms. Since, Humans are incapable of seeing demons and their spiritual energy, which includes their Portals. This is because, Demons are spiritual creatures, and though Humans do possess some spiritual energy, it isn't normally enough for them to see Demons.
What is a demon?
Demons are dark spirits that dwell in the demon realm. They are invisible to Humans due to Humans possessing low spiritual energy levels, this goes for other life forms with similar levels of spiritual energy like animals. Though there are always the odd cases where a human or animal has just enough to be capable of seeing spirits like Demons.
Humans that have come into contact with demons, or the rare cases where humans are born with more spiritual energy than usual, or cases where humans somehow get more spiritual energy later on in life, will be able to see demons.
Being demonic spirits doesn't make them ghosts. Ghost spirits are something different entirely, being what remains of someone's soul after death, the spirit alone. Demons are just another form of supernatural life with spiritual energy, which is a form of magical energy that's drawn directly from the soul.
Demons take the form of various spirit animals which is decided on the demon's birth, entirely depending on their parent race and place of origin from within the demon realm. There is a wide range of different types of demons of all shapes and sizes. The majority only take the single form of their spirit animal or creature. But many demons of higher levels are capable of possessing a human form.
Typically only higher-ranking demons can do this however, the lower level the demon the more animal-like it becomes.
This beast form otherwise known as the Soul or Spirit form is taking the literal shape and form of the demon's spirit.
Spiritual Energy and Magic
The magic and energy system in the story of UTM works entirely from the soul and how strong ones soul is.
With Spiritual energy literally being energy drawn from your soul, your spirit. Since, most life in UTM is
Spiritual, like Demons, Angels and Reapers. They naturally have large amounts of Spiritual energy in order to perform Spiritual attacks/moves and Magic.
Even humans and animals possess spiritual energy, since every living thing has a soul. Though typically Humans do not normally possess enough of it to create anything physical and thus cannot use magic or Spiritual Attacks/Moves.
However, with enough Spiritual energy and practice with it, any living thing is capable of performing Spiritual Energy Attacks, Moves and Magic.
Magic being, a list of created spiritual moves contextualized usually via books and notes. Which, despite many individuals capable of performing their own special spiritual attacks and moves, Magic spells are created so that everyone can perform them if they have the energy for it.
These magical spells can be anything from basic healing spells to unravelling secrets, to discovering secrets, boosting energy, summoning creatures, All the way to reviving the dead to creating a new life form.
