#codex; inserts;

Pokémon are very popular in insert communities. They are widespread enough that even concerted efforts by FRI authorities to confiscate the creatures have had seemingly no effect on the commonality of their ownership by Inserts. They are used for everything from companionship, work, sports, and even the commission of crimes.

The particular biology of the Pokémon means that they not only thrive in other metas but can adapt to them. More common than Pokémon are poke-hybrids-- cross-meta creatures with a Pokémon parent or somewhere in their heritage. Inserts often breed Pokémon, hybrids and purebreds, outside of their native meta in order to get meta-specific morphs (MSM) that would not be possible to create back in the native meta.

The protocol for hybrids and MSMs is destruction by the FRI, though recent efforts to repurpose poke-hybrids for Crosswork have been made since Hybrids are commonly infertile and therefore incapable of spreading themselves further.

Non-Authorized Real Agents (abbreviated as "NARA" on official FRI documentation), often called "Self Inserts" or "Inserts" in common parlance on and off of The Console, are humans from the Real World who are not affiliated with the FRI and not authorized to access the Console or the Worlds of Fiction.

They are humans (pets have been found among inserts, however, and would be considered inserts alongside their owners) who have gained access to the Fictions by illegal means. Most often, this is by use of a Transverser (a "traverser" or "transverser" is any unauthorized reality interfacing portal device), although smugglings by authorized personnel have been documented. They are considered enemies of the FRI, opponents of it's goals and aims, and are to be captured and brought back to the Console for processing and removal.

Inserts are a broad group; some are individuals, some travel in groups, and some groups are so large and have such renown as to be known among by FRI personnel and staff; even to people back in the Home-Universe. Their goals are as equally as broad. Most Inserts are non-hostile agents who merely wish to interact with their favorite fiction, often disregarding the danger to themselves or the natives of a fiction. Others actively oppose the claim that FRI and no one else is "allowed" to access and make use of the fictions, taking steps to thwart and harry personnel wherever they find them. Other Inserts are malicious or irresponsible in other ways, to both native fictions, FRI personnel, and even other inserts.

Transverser are designed with varying levels of quality and one well known undesirable side-affect of world jumping Inserts is the leaving of world-tears or world-rifts. Rifts allow fictions to bleed into one another, in an event called a World Bleed and this necessitates the intervention of FRI personnel to seal these rifts. Rifts may fix themselves if they are small enough, but some rifts grow larger and larger; if not addressed in time, the integrity of one of both worlds may be irrevocably altered or damaged in a Catastrophic World Bleed.
