Parya is a Persian name, meaning angel of all angels.
Name commonly given to the prettiest, sweetest and smartest of Persian females.

Parisa literally means "little angel" where as Parya is the lead angel. Jealous? I THINK SO.

"Did you see that Parya that walked past?"
"I know, she's such an angel"

boom.

Paracausal Power

The inner ability to not accept the outcome as a causality of a deterministic reality & choose to personally have free will.

Fal'el Ierokk: All living organisms have paracausal power & that's because we're alive.

X'ul Mal: Power is power & power is will.

Zaythan: X'ul is right!

Parscale

In stark contrast to terms like hyperscale and planet-scale that describe massive, growing systems, a Parscale is something that only delivers one thousandth of what was promised.

"Did you see that Tulsa rally? 1 million people registered and only a thousand showed up. That's totally Parscale, and it's all Brad's fault."

parcan

Light commonly used in theatrical settings or for bands and soforth. Short for parabolic reflector in a can - it's basically a car headlight, very high wattage (typically 500-750) and quite bright. They're also known for being quite cheap and throwing a nice, even light but not being nearly as flexible as an ellipsoidal or fresnel.

If you drop a light from the catwalk, you're in deep shit - unless it was just a parcan.
