Archive || What is the Lexcore? || Uh…Mimes? || About the comic
The Lexcore System: a writing system based on the Lex — the soul — made to request from the senient Lex of the planet Zel-Varus the manipulation of the space around the user.
In thousands of years since the creation of the Lexcore, Zel-Varus society has integrated it so completely into normal civilization.
The Lexcore System is not an unbreakable one, nor is it one that was created simply for the betterment of normal society…

Join Larc, a trainee with a fascination with all things Planet Earth, as he begins upper division training at the Razel Special Operations Academy with his teammates. Everything would be all cookies and ice cream if it weren’t for the fact that they were bumped up a year regardless that they weren’t exactly qualified for it. What’s more, the officer assigned to train them hasn’t taken a team assignment in years. Can they handle this special attention, or will the blood-and-happiness-obsessed officer run them into the ground?

So…the Lexcore? What is it?
The Lexcore System: a writing system based on the Lex — the soul — made to request from the senient Lex of the planet Zel-Varus the manipulation of the space around the user.
The Lexcore is a sort of…magic system, if you will, that uses different combinations, or Sentences, of symbols “Written” [in the air, on a surface, whatever] with a person’s Lex, or soul/life force/whatever, to bend the space around the user. Sentences range from very simple, like shooting fire at people, to very complicated, like holding up an entire city over the ocean. Sentences must have the Subject symbol and a “verb” symbol, but can have different “adjective” symbols following [which are used to make much more complicated Sentences].
Generally, a person must be wearing special gloves in order to Write symbols without hurting himself/herseif/itself…which is why everyone in the comic so far has been wearing gloves.

Uh…Mimes?
Mimes are people with Space-manipulation Sentences Written on them. The Sentence allows them to bend space [which generally produces invisible objects, but the stronger ones can make things visible]. Prospective Mimes need to have strong imaginations as well as good physical ability in order to b able to handle the strains that the manipulation Sentence puts on the body [strains more than any other manipulation Sentence]. The Sentence is also highly dangerous if the person does not have proper control over the imagination…I mean, you could stab yourself on accident if you’re not careful! D:

About the comic
Lexcore started when Integration drew the first page during a physics lecture in October 2005. The general idea and plot for Lexcore [most of which aren't showing in the comic right now] came from Inty’s miserable attempt at putting together an entry for Tokyopop’s Rising Stars of Manga contest, which starred Larc [insert last name here] as a teenage cheese museum guard chasing after Muri Kathes, a Razel Mime that stole a very valuable cheese sculpture, which she ends up eating in a turkey sandwich halfway through the story, thus making Larc all freaked about his job and prompting him to bust out some spiffy Sentences. Unfortunately, the story was completely lame, so…several months afterwards, Lexcore was born.
At first, it was named MIME – flux! [that was its name when it was on Drunk Duck before they crashed way back when] and then it was Lexcore: deltaFluxCandela. For some reason, there was some obsession with flux going on there. Integration was taking physics classes at the time. Also, Mimes were going to be the main focus. Not so much anymore.
