Toriphan is the name of the third most common archetype of Endbeing forms.

Physical features

Toriphans have a central polytope as opposed to the central eye of an Arraphim. The polytope is known as the core, and is always symmetrical to a certain degree, but usually is regular, uniform, or the dual of a uniform. The polytope is surrounded by overlapping eye-covered rings which are constantly rotating. The eyes on these rings are functional and the only vision-sensing parts of the Toriphan, though there are a lot of them on even one ring, especially if the ring's base hypersphere is beyond a circle.

The rings may be shaped like any hypertorus except hardened into corners and thinned, in such a way that a 3D torus would have thin rectangle cross sections. The "outer" side is always covered in eyes but the "inner" side may or may not be. The eyes can be one color or have all kinds of types of heterochromia, from alternating, to patterned, to different colors on different rings, or even completely random.

The core has similar qualities to that of the Symbolacron archetype. One facet opens into a mouth/vocal tract, while the other opens into the waste-expelling end, and the core contains all of the internal organs.

Also similar to Symbolacra, the rings are bound to the core by an invisible, incredibly strong force. The force does not block things from passing between the rings and the core, nor does such an occurence interrupt the force or harm the Endbeing.

Toriphans have telekinesis for picking up and using objects. As for walking, they just roll in any direction in any subset of the six rotational planes, though double-rotation takes more energy than single-rotation since it requires both propulsion engines (a pair of core organs) to be activated rather than just one.

It's possible, though rare, for a Toriphan form to have no working facilities to manually reroll their genetics, similar to most Arraphim forms.

Trivia

* Toriphan is the ophanim counterpart to the Arraphim archetype, both created as logical extensions of biblically accurate angels to higher dimensions.
