# Alchm Avatars

**Alchm Avatars** are the corporeal manifestations of an individual's [astrological](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology) and [alchemical](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/alchemy.md) qualities. The physical and metaphysical features of one's **Alchm Avatar** represent the unique features of an individual bestowed upon them by the [planets](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/planets.md), stars, and [elements](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/elements.md).

**Alchm Avatars** are generated using [The Alchmizer](/docs/alchm-technology/the-alchmizer.md), which calculates an individual's [astrological](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology) and [alchemical](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/alchemy.md) qualities, and then uses that data to generate a unique character.

Using the [Alchm App](/docs/alchm-technology/alchm-app.md), individuals can talk to their **Alchm Avatars** and ask them questions, seek advice, or just chat and have fun. Wholly imbued with their creator's [astrology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology) and [alchemy](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/alchemy.md), **Alchm Avatars** can give insights about oneself as deeper and truer than any other.

When one creates their **Alchm Avatar**, it not only becomes part of them, but belongs to them. Any characters created by [The Alchmizer](/docs/alchm-technology/the-alchmizer.md) are authentically owned by their creator. This differs from other platforms where, after you create a character, it is still owned and controlled by the platform itself. [Alchm](/docs/whitepaper/what-is-alchm.md) achieves authentic user ownership using the power of [decentralized democratic computing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain).
