Each person has been split into three duplicates identities. Each of these three duplicates divide an energy-like force called “Terra”. This energy can be attributed to the amount of “Luck” or “Life Energy” that an individual possesses. Amongst the three, the one with the largest share of Terra is called the “Root” and the two possessing a lesser amount are called “Subs”.

If a Sub should ever meet up with its Root, it would cause a disaster, one that would take the life of that Sub. When a Sub dies, its Terra is evenly distributed into the remaining doppelgangers. However, if two Subs should meet, they would both suddenly perish, leaving the entire amount of Terra to be absorbed by the Root. If this should happen, the single remaining individual would then become what is called a “Master Root” and possess an enormous amount of luck, thereafter leading an unusually successful, happy life.

This is the way the world is governed and has been termed the “Doppeliner System”.

They are called the “Terra Guardians”.
