The Lifestream: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Exalted]]'': Creation always have the number of souls necessary to animate living beings in it, since the Ewer of Soul always provide exactly that much. The problem that Autochthon—a machine-god who is also a self-contained world—face in his self-imposed exile is that he need to eat souls (to put it simply), and he's dying because he can't get fresh ones.

** Note that there's no Lifestream in a traditional sense; souls normally reincarnate, thus they enter Creation but doesn't leave it. The only way souls meet [[Final Death]] is by falling into Oblivion. The Neverborn want to [[Omnicidal Maniac|toss everything, themselves included]], into Oblivion.

 

 

** The Farplane in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' and ''Final Fantasy X-2''. A young Spiran genius named Shinra speculates on its use as a power source, and as it turns out, [[Word of God|that wide-eyed boy's descendants developed space travel, found a planet with a similar afterlife, and made his dream come true]]. [[Don't Explain the Joke|I'm talking about the Planet from FFVII]].

** The basic motivation of the [[Big Bad]] in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' is to turn the world's remaining human population into this in order to get the attention of his long-vanished god.

* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' has [[MacGuffin|Kingdom Hearts]].

* In the game ''[[Darwinia]]'', each creature has a digital "soul" that rises into the sky and merges into a soul collector which hovers over the world when they die, and which feeds them back down as a rain of souls on another location, where they go on to be processed into new creatures. In this manner, even the souls of [[The Virus]] that infects the digital world of Darwinia can be reincarnated as clean darwinians. One virus creature permanently destroys the souls of those it eats, however.
