Effects[]

The condition of being an incarnation of a higher being, an embodied entity in the flesh or to have taken on a flesh form; also known as an avatar. The character acts as the physical representation/manifestation/personification of the higher being, who is always a greater, more powerful being than their incarnation. The higher being can be anything from a deity "god/goddess", a demon, a cosmic being, power source, universal force, and/or even a higher spiritual being. Unlike other embodiments, the embodied concept is not the character's Defacto physiology. Instead, the character is made into flesh with a real physiology; generally assuming a human or even animal physiology. In other instances, the incarnation can also be a divine or demonic entity themselves like a deity, a demon or even an angel. The incarnation can be from birth, a chosen status, recreation, resurrection, possession or even though the possession of a powerful object.

Unlike an avatar, which is merely the physical body of whomever the avatar is representing, or just aspect manifestation, which can be the manifestation of anything as a spirit, or representation of life, death, emotions and even the lands taken form, an incarnation is the actual being itself having taken physical manifestation that represents a higher entity given life in flesh and blood.
