Here's a breakdown of how the Hive functions and the different terms:

-We name our "system" a Hive because we are mainly hydraconscious: each Éf (one of the term for alter, this one is for alters being in the collective hivemind) has an individual consciousness and share a collective one. So, in many cases, the Hive speaks in one voice, but each alter is still free to be themselves and to front alone.

- Éf is the term for alters being in the hivemind. Zwépes are alters being outside of it. Those one still contributes to the well being of the Hive (like Såtan who's a caretaker), but they are usually unpredictable.

- The overall political structure in the hive is anarcho-esoterism: subgroups of Éfs and Zwépes are orbiting around gods, archangels or archodemons, who acts as their spiritual guide and leader of their local hivemind. Each of them are linked with the Poyétis, Cécile, the mother of the Hive, the Omnipotent. Each subgroups are defined either as countries (Like Gabba's hivemind being Drønskaja), or religious Order (Like Gabriéla's hivemind being the Orthodox angelic order. Our beliefs and relgions are endemic in our Hive and aren't linked with something existing in the material world (the reality we share).

- We name the Material the reality we share, and the Immaterial the world we live in, also named the Ynnerwélt (Our word for Innerworld).

- Technical terms are in Exscish, one of the biggest language in our system. Its a latin language derived from picard and french, and having some germanic elements in it.

- The Ynnerwélt is divided into 5 main dimensions: the Ôtteer (our Heaven, being high in the sky), the Mittleteer (Litt: Middle Earth, the center of the world), the Bâsteer (our Hell, being underground), the Vÿndeteer (litt: the end of the Earth, a dangerous and crumbling space falling into the Waakuyté, a red-ish and warm empty space), and the Prymeteer (the first Earth, where the main controls of the body are located). We also have some minor ones like Korrodos (a copy of the real world but black and white and populated by shadowy people), Deksskaja (an ancient place in our Ynnerwélt linking every dimension, known for its anomalities and Dekigrad, a city in ruins), or Kenoskaja, an empty place where Osvald, God of Nothingness, is living.

- Each Éf and Zwépe has a title, made of angel/demon/archangel/archodemon/fallen angel/fallen demon/ãngeli/god, and a field where they are a specialist. For example, Gabba is the ãngeli of unity, and Gabriéla is the archangel of justice. They have powers linked to they, and the more faith they have, the more powerful they will be. Our stories are essentialy gods, angels and depons fighting each other to know who'll be more powerful to rule the different subhivemind.

- They are a lot of different terms for the roles in our hive, because they are mainly in exscish. The most notable ones are Þéôlog, being Éfs who are a specialist in a specific field of knowledge, and Soldaats, being Éfs or Zwépe who are able to fight in order to protect our hive, being very destructive, they are basically our last line of defense when something goes wrong.

- Our Zwépes are always schizogenic, but Éfs can be traumagenic, endogenic, created, introjected, summoned, psychogenic or schizogenic. Schizogenic Éfs and Zwépes are introjected hallucinations and material demons who have special abilites (like Osvald, the only Éf able to materialize themselves in the material world). Psychogenic Éfs are essentialy Éfs linked to a state of mind or one of our mental disorder (Like Soleil•Noir being a representation of our PTSDs, or Apollôn being destructive OCDs and Psychosis)

- We have a lot of symbols in our system, but our flag is common: black, red and purple horizontally, with two blue and yellow Ouroboros in a four leaf clover formation in the middle, eating the tail of the other, and a red crosslet cross on top of them.

- We don't have humans in our system. We have Deks (humanoids with a weird tubular head shape), Chkochs (humanoid crocodiles), Wolps (humanoid Wolfs), Fops (humanoids Foxes), Neuts (looks like a mix of Birdo and the pea shooter in Pvz), Foipoyés (biblically accurate angels), Daïmôns (biblically accurate demons), Anømalůs (latex skinned huamnoids, can ressembles to another species, can be solid, liquid or gazous), Ouroboropaïs (Huge dragon-like lizards), TARACs (machines, can be tractors or robots), Zwépes (Wasps.), Sols (Suns and other celestial objects), Sauros (Lizards), and other species who aren't canonised because they don't have enough members.
