Radiation

Radiation is commonly referred to particle radiation such as alpha and beta particles. This type of radiation is found all across the planet, Remsar and therefor the planet is radioactive naturally from both the mother star and the nearby nebula of which the system exists within. However, within the Lone universe, radiation is not referred to as such due to the nature and origin of the word in language. In reference to radiation, characters explain it as ionized particulates or IP for short.

Both alpha and beta particles are referred as: soom and sool particles. Soom IP would mean Alpha-Particle while Sool IP refers to as Beta-Particle.

In-Universe Behavior
Within the universe of Lone, soom and sool are treated with special attention by the inhabitants of Remsar. Soom is everywhere, including in food, water, animals, and plants. There is no escape from soom, however soom is unlikely to truly harm biological entities. It requires an immense amount of consumption of soom to become irradiated. Sool however, is dangerous and lethal upon contact. Sool is how whole entire societies have built their cities, created rules and traditions, and even religions in order to respect and defend from sool. An entire underlying currency is based around sool in regards to blood exchanges.

Bloodlines themselves are gravely afflicted by sool, and some bloodlines are seen as 'pure' when the bloodline of the generation and the generation before are not damaged by it.
