Absorption (ConceptTopic, 12)

From Compile Worlds

Absorption is the process of absorbing something. Usually, in Compile Worlds and Compile Worlds 2, it refers specifically to one character absorbing another, and as a result, taking on one or more of their traits and powers. Absorption was shown to be possible by ones as early as Episode 14, where Ekoro attempted to absorb his clones for betraying him.

Methods and Effects of Absorption

The way one character absorbs another in Compile Worlds varies on a case-to-case basis, largely depending on the two characters involved and their capabilities. As such, the results also vary. The most often employed form of absorption is when Ekoro would absorb his clones, disintegrating them into the raw Ekoronian components before adding them to his mass. It seemed to have no effect on his appearance or power whatsoever, and he literally carried around Eta like a dead weight. Ekoro's Possessor and Omega absorb Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Theta, and Phi in a similar manner to Ekoro, albeit the characters absorbed actually had a significant effect on Omega's appearance and power, accelerating her to an extremely high end status quickly. Sig, a zero, absorbed Eta's particles after they were separated from Ekoro, due to being in close proximity and welcoming of the particles with a similar DNA structure to the book demon's. This particular absorption didn't have any physical effects or side effects, but "completed" Sig's other half and allowed him to enter a stronger form. Similarly, Amitie absorbed the entire Ekoro Dimension when she destroyed Ekoro's Orb, including all of the zeroes 7/7SatanLord MarcusGypsumMarinShoFeliSteve and ones 3/3Arle NadjaDaichiEltia inside it. Again, there was no particular effect on her appearance, but she was awakened as a one, complete with a new form change. A dying Doppelganger Arle was absorbed by Omega, though like the other pre-promote, Eltia, she was not revived by Benedict after the fight since. Similarly, Sig absorbed Strange Klug in this manner.

Though not part of the RP directly, it is worth noting that in Puyo Wars, Eldora may or may not have absorbed Omega and Weather, after they were stripped of their godhood, in order to inherit their powers and use their mana to halt the molting process, though even the game is extremely vague about this touchy controversy.
