Y.I.D.

Y.I.D. is an acronym used by the Vanguards meaning yoki Identification Dominance. This term describes the organism that an awakened (and possibly claymore) is most attuned with. In the case of awakened, many behavioral and amplified bodily characteristics and benefits of that organism are possessed by the awakened through its yoki. A Y.I.D. is created by the body and conscious and subconscious mind of a claymore the moment yoki comes into contact with an uncorrupted being. Naturally born awakened have a Y.I.D., although Naturally born hybrids do not (as they can never awaken). Although a being may have multiple personality alignements, only the most dominant one shows as a Y.I.D. However, recessive parts of the personality affect the Y.I.D. as well and can change a Y.I.D.
