Additional Information Regarding 07 Ghost:
Zaiphon
Zaiphon is the "magic" of 07-Ghosts's world, the ability to convert life energy into
various forms of power (it is Zaiphon that keeps the continent floating). It is
controlled by converting strong emotions into energy, and the power that comes
from Zaiphon often takes the shape of words, though people may use weapons to
channel said energy. Those who have the ability to use Zaiphon are rare and
thought to be blessed by God. Every user's capabilities are different, and in
many cases, reflect their nature. Zaiphon is generally categorized into three
types:
·
Healing Zaiphon: People with healing Zaiphon are
able to heal wounds and share or transfer their Zaiphon to others. Characters
who primarily use healing Zaiphon are Labrador ,
Assistant Archbishop Bastien, Ouka, and Capella.
·
Offensive Zaiphon: People with offensive Zaiphon can
attack enemies and protect themselves from attacks directed at them. Characters
who primarily use offensive Zaiphon are Teito, Mikage, Ayanami, Hakuren, Frau,
and Capella.
·
Manipulation Zaiphon: People with
manipulation Zaiphon (which is particularly rare) can move other objects at
will. Castor uses this type of Zaiphon.
It is possible to learn to use more than one version of Zaiphon;
however, people who can successfully do so are few and far between.
There are a variety of weapons used to manipulate Zaiphon, the
most common being the bascule. With the bascule, people can channel their Zaiphon
and use it for several purposes. Different types of Zaiphon have different
effects when used through a bascule: those with healing Zaiphon cannot directly
attack a Kor, but they can restrict and remove Kor from afflicted people, and
those with offensive Zaiphon can directly attack a Kor.
07-Ghosts and Verloren
According to a centuries-old myth, the God of Death, Verloren (Dutch or German for Lost),
'killed' the daughter of the Chief of Heaven and was forced to escape to the
earth. In retribution, Verloren invaded the hearts of the people, who slipped
into despair. Lamenting over the people's suffering, the Chief of Heaven
dispatched seven heavenly lights in order to punish Verloren. Called the
"Seven Ghosts", they are said to have sealed Verloren on the earth
and served forevermore as the guardians of the Empire. Mothers often tell their
children that if they are naughty, the Seven Ghosts will come to take them
away.
Though Verloren has been sealed away in Pandora's Box for over
1000 years, his messengers, the Kor, find and contact humans to bring them
under his influence. If a contract is made, a mark appears on the person's
chest. This is known as "Verloren's curse," and it indicates one's
heart being eaten by darkness. One of the duties of the "07-Ghosts"
is to fight against Verloren and his curse and try to stop contracts from being
fulfilled. Only the Bishops can remove Verloren's curse.
The 07-Ghosts are embodied in humans with such extraordinary
Zaiphon abilities that they are considered to be blessed by God. They were
originally fragments of Verloren, and they were sent down to the earth by the
Chief of Heaven in order to stop Verloren. Each of the 07-Ghosts has died in
his previous life, and they all retain their memories of their past lives.
Frau, Castor, Labrador , Fia Kreuz and Lance
have been revealed to be Ghosts thus far; all of them have the mark of their
Ghosts on their hands. The Ghosts' names are Sichel/(Zehel), Fest, Profe, Landkarte/(Randkalt), Relikt, Ea and
Vertrag, all of which have Dutch or German origins. Each of the Ghosts has a
specific power:
·
Sichel / Zehel – 斬魂 "the cutting spirit"

Note: ‘Ea' may also refer the Babylonian
deity of wisdom and magic.
There are evil beings who want to interfere with this process;
among them are Verloren's messengers, the Kor, who steal dreams and drag humans
into darkness. When a human's first dream is granted by a Kor, the person's
heart becomes unstable and unable to be satisfied no matter what he or she
does. When the second dream is granted, the person falls into a state of
starvation or addiction. When the third dream is granted, the soul has indulged
in too much darkness and becomes forever unable to return to the Chief of
Heaven. The Kor then takes the body; a possessed body with all three dreams
fulfilled by the Kor is called a Wars (warusa means
"evil" in Japanese), and they serve Verloren. A dark magician who can
control the Wars is called a Warsfeil.
It is the duty of the church to protect people from the Kor,
because the feeling of addiction is very difficult to remove. There are cases
when a Kor may grant a wish that is not one of the three dreams, but it upsets
the equilibrium and the Kor may be punished for it.
The Eyes of Mikhail and Raphael
The Eyes of Mikhail and Raphael are a set of holy stones that can
be embedded into the body, allowing the Archangels Mikhail and Raphael to
descend into a host's body for a limited time. They are undetectable until they
possess their host's body, whereupon the stone appears in the host's hand, the
host's eye color changes, and they become able to wield godlike powers with Zaiphon.
Before the storyline of "07-Ghost," the royal family of the Kingdom
of Raggs held the Eye of Mikhail and the Barsburg Empire held the Eye of Raphael. A pact was established between both
countries never to seize the other Eye; however, the Barsburg Empire broke this
pact ten years prior to the storyline.
The Eyes' full usages are unknown; however, thus far, the Eye of
Mikhail has been used to seal Verloren's original body in Pandora's Box, and
the Eye of Raphael has been said to be able to reincarnate Verloren's soul in
human bodies.
