Lenses list
A rundown of the Kaleidoscope (as of July 5th 2022)
Mauve Lens [Purple]
Aliases: The Mauve
Incarnations: An ornate purple shawl, scarf, or cloak.
Patron: Influence, gain, indulgence, prestige.
Nature: It is passive, blank, and supportive. It varies depending on whoever uses it and will forward their will. It is the most like a tool out of all the lenses; although most can be used in a similar way, the mauve does not posses or influence who it comes in contact with beyond the natural lure that comes with all forms of power.
Powers/Abilities: Granting influence. Subtly granting benefits to its chosen in ways that could appear as luck. It also can work more directly if commanded and constantly will work toward the desire. Even just as a cloak making them feel cool in a dessert or acting like armor when in danger.
Notable Users: Maeve Lolanthe Ambrosia (AKA Mary) used it to control and influence a large amount of people,
Found: First appears in Aristrone, an urban-fantasy set dimension.

Indigo Lens [Indigo]
Aliases: The Indigo, Forlorn
Incarnations: Deep translucent fabrics of phasing waves, evocative melodies of vocals or strings.
Patron: Memory, repression, grief, sorrow.
Nature: A neutral but powerful lens, passively and growing and drawing in. It washes over dimensions and slowly begins to drown them as it takes in the sorrow. The deeper into it you go the more lost you are.
Powers/Abilities: It drags in miseries and stories from all across the Over, other dimensions and worlds, and drags them in on its tide.
Notable Users: It can’t really be used but Karl listens to its stories and helps it not overflow.
Found: No set dimension of residence.
----
Azure Lens [Blue]
Aliases: The Azure, Eve, Creation, Epiphany
Incarnations: Inspiration, an unknown muse, especially to technical minds. Blue energy/technology.
Patron: Creation, creativity, ambition, advancement.
Nature: Aggressive but supportive. It’s a creative rather than outright destructive force but is single-minded and perseverance, as it’s a force. Much in the same way heat’s main goal is to be hot—it’s not going to stop and worry that it’s melting the wax that sustains it.
Powers/abilities: Pushes breakthroughs in the minds of innovators. Essentially speed runs the development of societies and can be channeled into a usable energy if worked with long enough.
Notable Users: Alex, Ywscore citizens, Orch inventor
Found: Resides predominantly in Ywuscore but eventually moves to Orch.
----
Teal Lens [Teal/Turquoise]
Aliases: The Teal, The Beguiling Mist, Siren’s Mask
Incarnations: A gas mask but with more colors and patterns as well as feathers attached to it, heavy blue-green mist, a cool feeling.
Patron: Emotion, sentiment, fortitude, reaction.
Nature: It’s a very active but undirected lens. It’s neutral although it’s rarely dormant. Unless left completely isolated with no one to reach, it will constantly be churning to the tune of the other’s emotions, including even animals.
Powers/Abilities: When used properly the lens allows mass manipulation of emotions through the creation of colorful mist. The mist is an extension of the user's own emotions- if the user feels angry, anyone who breathes in that mist will feel that same anger- and that emotion can stack on top of any amount of existing emotion already felt by those affected by the mist. This makes sealing the mask properly around a user's head important as they could get stuck in a feedback loop of emotion.
Notable Users: unnamed ancient leaders, a unnamed child.
Found: Currently unnamed dimension of residence - a world with villages on the surface and long tunnels of caves and underground water pools.
----
Celadon Lens [Green]
Aliases: The Celadon, Creeping Stone
Incarnations: A green spreading crystalline infection
Patron: Torpor, decadence, indolence, apathy.
Nature: Acts like a virus opposed to Crimson’s infection. It is a slow but strong moving lens.
Powers/Abilities: Takes over the body, infesting muscles and joints with its stone until people are crystalized to almost statues. It doesn’t have direct control over the mind but the brain will numb on its own with the body over time.
Notable Users: it can't be used traditionally but the theme park workers might count. Those who spread it would be the closest to a ‘user.’
Found: An unnamed dimension once filled with theme parks and bustling transports, now left a shell. Neglected metal oxidized into a green wasteland full of crystallized zombies.
----
Sun Lens [Yellow]
Aliases: The Violin, Euphoria, Symphony, The Fiddle
Incarnations: A violin with intricate carvings of spider webs all over, yellow strings and thread, gold and yellow flecks of light.
Patron: Music, joy, obsession, control.
Nature: Active and benevolent. It harnesses itself in pleasantness and hones in on whatever brings it about. It does not exist or notice in necessarily healthy or safety, however, so its influence is just as detrimental when left unchecked and free as the rest of the Kaleidoscope. Despite what you might think at first glance. The forced positivity becomes almost cult-like and even hostile towards well being of people. If you’re perfectly happy even with a broken leg, why would anyone bother getting medical attention?
Powers/Abilities: It can channel good feeling and guide. It’s a bit like Azure in how it interacts/influences the societies it reigns in, and a bit like Crimson in the way it spreads through and consumes people.
Notable Users: A musician named Penelope
Found: Currently unnamed dimension where it has overtaken the whole society in a euphoric brainwashed state of service and submission to its light.
----
Clementine Lens [Orange]
Aliases: The Clementine, Not.☆, Clem, The Unhuntable Beast, Pretty Kitty
Incarnations: a large creature that looks like a cross between a tiger, a boar, and a scorpion. It has tusks, orange fur with black stripes, and a scorpion tail, size between a car and a horse. Appears to fade in and out of opaqueness, almost like the texture of a portal.
Patron: Oblivion, unknown, hidden, introversion.
Nature: It’s a reclusive lens, will actively try to avoid things and need to be sought out. It’s like a wild animal trapped in a place it shouldn’t be. It’s the lens most closely tied to the Otherside. As a representation of Oblivion, which is nearly synonymous with inexistent, it’s the most uncomfortable to be out here and mostly needs to be comforted and drawn out in order to return it back to safety.
It's abilities include: traveling to different dimensions, poisonous scorpion tail, and unnatural abilities (ie. Speed, strength, agility, senses). Fazing and an inconsistent size. Ability to take people and things into never existing (only until it’s returned to the Otherside, in which case it simply becomes guardian of all things lost forever.)
Notable Users: None
Found: No set dimension of residence.

Crimson Lens [Red]
Aliases: The Crimson, Blood vines
Incarnations: Red flora, especially vines grown from an egg-like seed.
Patron: Power, passion, conquering, striving.
Nature: It is an aggressive lens, actively fiercely moving forward.
Abilities Include: It works by seeking out It works by warping your mind as a sort of infective possession, adding you to its empire. It can rebuild itself from the smallest seed, leaf, or root, growing it into a new egg.
Notable Users: More like it uses people than people use it. Notable people who’ve fallen to its control: Cue, Bill, and Rue.
Found: Appears in small bit all throughout the story. Is main insurgence comes later in the series, in Prowa.
