Naming/ID System

WARNING: This page contains spoilers about the Element IDs. Please read with caution.

The naming/ID system is used to identify each Element, and differentiate them from other Elements of the same type. Elements may give themselves nicknames as to differentiate themselves further.

A Typical Element's full name (in order) includes:


 * Element
 * Section
 * Atomic Number


 * Cardinal number (to identify the Element as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, of its type)

An example of a full name is Sodium C11-146. Each part will be explained below:

-Element
All Elements' names will begin with their corresponding element (based on the periodic table).

-Section
Each element is created in a "Section", facilities of the Systematic that are used to create Elements. These Sections are labeled from A to Z (etc, Section J). Different elements are created in different Sections, for example, a Alkaline Earth Metal would be created in the A, B, and C Sections (sometimes, but rarely, a Scandium), while a Noble Gas would be created in the Y and Z Sections. There are only a few exceptions, including Sten.

Only naturally occurring elements are created in Sections. (There is a 1 out of 1,000 chance that a Technetium or Promethium would be created in the Sections) Synthetics are created in nuclear reactors, although the chance of even receiving one is ultimately rare. There will be an appearance of a transuranic Element, later in the series.

-Atomic Number
All Elements have their atomic number after their Section letter in their full name.

-Cardinal Number
Each Element will have a cardinal number after the dash in the middle of their name. This number is to identify the Element as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (and so on) of the elements of their own type. From the example above, in the name Sodium C11-146 (or Soda), the number after the dash, which is 146, means that Soda is the 146th Sodium created.
