Power System:

Paths: 

These are explained to be the main driving force of one's soul. To obtain a path means that a destiny has already been sealed for an individual. A character's must act based on their corresponding path or they would lose the touch of their soul and identity!. 

They are ranked based on their closeness to the divine:

Mundane- most common amongst normal people with no royal blood running in their veins. These are considered weak and slightly better than normal individuals. 

Noble- the Noble path serves as a spearhead in combat and utility. These can be categorized as the Knights or even Heroes in history! Not to mention, specific utility powers such as enchantments, and support spells are included in this

Sacred- Those blessed by the Holy attain a touch of a divine's power, these correspond to the holy power that resides within the individual. The path of Sacred are considered as humanity's strength and should not be underestimated.

Uber- The path that transcend human greatness. Commonly, these paths are possessed by ancient heroes of old. Those with great wills and possess the greatest humanity inside of them are deserving of the Uber path.

Gazed- Being blessed is different from being gazed by the Gods. Once a divine has gazed upon you, the path belonging to you would already be decided. They grant you the path of divine, and those of the Gazed Path are considered to be humanity's strongest.

Seraphs- Attained by demigods and angels. Possessing a path of the Seraphs is not possible for a human soul to handle. Thus, those of the Seraph Path are considered to be mythical creatures that have existed way before the humans have. 

Godly/Celestial- Not much is known about the highest path, yet they are considered to be closely related to the Gods.

Pathbearers:

Individuals that have reached for their souls and obtained their Paths. 

Soul Rank:

These are the progressive and attainable levels of the Soul. Once an individual reaches a specific threshold, they have the choice to breakthrough and resonate further with their soul. The higher the Soul Rank, the stronger the individual.

The rankings are as follows:

Untouched- refers to those that have not yet reached for their Soul. These can be the people who have learned to gaze upon their Soul or normal people that have no clue as to what the Soul is.

Impure- Once resonating and touching the Soul, an individual becomes a Pathbearer. The Soul starts as Impure and the Pathbearer must resonate with it further more in order to breakthrough. Most Pathbearers stay as Impure in their lifetime. 

Pure- After one's soul has been completed, an individual will now obtain a Pure Soul. These are powerful Pathbearers that can utilize their Attunements and Paths even stronger than before. 

Beyond- Individuals who attain this Rank have transcended from their human soul, releasing their limits to grow even further. The Beyond's have mastered control of their Attunements and Paths.

Hallowed- Only obtained by the greatest of heroes. Nothing much is known about the specific Soul Rank. 

There are more Soul Ranks above Hallowed so read more to find them out huehuheuhe >:)

Attunements:

Another piece of a character's power. These are mostly derived from common elements such as wind, fire, and etc.. The uniqueness of an Attunement is correlated to their class. A class is the modifier for specific Attunements. An example is a Mage of Fire, normally a Mage of Fire utilizes spells for combat or utility.

There are no ranks within Attunements but there are classes that are more rare than others. 

Soul Storage:

Deep within the soul lies an area, Pathbearers can use this specific area to store their Lost Souls

Lost Souls:

These are considered as the weapons, armors, and other loots that drop from a creatures soul. 

As the story progresses, I would add more to this.
