- - What are Emanations? - -
Life that goes beyond the boundary of the corporeal is strange. Life can exist anywhere and anyhow as long as Pneuma is present. In rare instances, life derivative of life will pop up. Emanations are a type of life similar to ghosts, yet vastly different. These are entities that are derived from another individual, unlike ghosts which are either wayward spirits or embodiments of emotion. Emanations end up having their own unique personality and form. Why is easy to pinpoint, but the how has yet to be fully understood by man as a whole.
Emanations can be created by accident or on purpose... or sometimes both. When purposely created, they tend to serve the role of familiars, servants, or protectors. Emanations created by accident usually do their own thing and are the result of a mentally unstable individual. The former have less autonomy while the latter turn into free spirits that are hard to control. Accidental emanations also cause the most trouble the majority of the time. They also tend to stick to Hell, The Unlight, of the Ghost Realm.
- - Who are Alsold and Umuka? - -
Umuka was an emanation of William (ULTRAMagic Shadow) that popped during the Bethany Briggs incident. Not too long before Ms. Briggs was released, Will found himself followed by a shadowy entity that assisted him with his problems from the shadows. The two became good friends, but Will did not find out who Umuka was for some time. Alsold (also known as "Spoopy") is a bit stranger. He also came from Will... but it's unclear when and why as this happened long after the Bethony Briggs incident. Will is mentally unstable to a degree, but even those close to him are unsure why Alsold came into existence.
Umuka is charismatic, collected, and perceptive. He is professional and seeks to get his work done. Ability wise, he excels at traveling through darkness and can enter the enigmatic realm known as The Dark Void. Alsold on the other hand is goofy, friendly, and scatterbrained. He loves having fun and hates work... Despite Alsold seeing Umuka as his brother, there is a bit of friction between them. Spoopy's main ability is shape shifting and he can enter The Dark Void with Umuka's help.
- - What are these two up to? - -
Alsold and Umuka were noticed by the ULTRAMagic Guild and were welcomed as honorary members (given their connection to Shadow). These two are often sent on missions to collect knowledge and resources from tricky to maneuver realms like The Ghost Realm and The Dark Void. Such expeditions are greatly appreciated by their superiors. Alsold has also insisted on keeping an eye on Will and his guild squad. Umuka is okay with this as one of Will's squad members, Richter, concerns him. The two emanations will often accompany the squad on missions, providing assistance wherever they can. Artillery and Hoplite also appreciate the company.

So who is Umuka exactly? Originally he was an auxiliary character in GTALT and did not really have that big of a role all things considered. Also don't go back and read GTALT, it's awful... I'm also aware of the controversy surrounding Camila Cuevas, another reason why it's discontinued. Spoopy on the other hand has been floating around my projects, with me being unsure what to do with him. After Umuka got a redesign, I decided why not pair the two together as brothers and give them their own story? Plus I can explore more of the Cosmos in UMAE.
Umuka's name is Akumu backwards, but it's original enough to a point where I can use it for this new incarnation of him. Will Orion (properly first appearing in GTALT) make it back into canon? Yes, absolutely... I just need a good time to introduce him. And what of my interpretation of Jevil (Also in GTALT)? I've been thinking about that, making a character using the personality archetype in an original shell... I'm working on it.
