Starting Point I am alone,  I think to myself. There is something beyond the horizon for me–no, us. My thoughts wonders and my imagination is intense. I blink my eyelids and brown eyes sharpen their sight. The vision rises with clouds lifting in the sky. A daydream begins. Something is calling me up here. My thoughts were made in my mind. The gray-white clouds roll up in view. Line of sight compliments the sky as the clouds open up.   My eyes are wide awake. The skies would point out something for me. With my appearance clouds begin to shape. A platform. The clouds and her have a history. A history only another person can answer. She hears a familiar voice.  My thoughts are telling in her head, it has been far too long. Her face softened at the voice.  

  Name: Tingyun   Titles:    Character Details: A silver-tongued Foxian girl, Tingyun is the Head Representative of the Whistling Flames, a merchant guild officially approved by the Sky-Faring Commission.She has such a way with words that often leaves her audience eagerly waiting for more of her captivating tales. As a result of her supervision, the Xianzhou trade fairs are now known throughout the galaxy."Try one's best to avoid conflict when possible, and persuade those who can be persuaded" — that's Tingyun's motto.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:here's a saying: "Foxians are born to do business." Linger a little while at the Sleepless Earl teahouse, and you'll come to appreciate this fact."There's something you don't know," says that Foxian woman, wafting her exquisite reticulated fan as she gazes at the skeptical man before her, "different lands raise their special type of life. If Sandcitrus seeds from the Bitterwater Confederacy are transplanted into the sacred soils of Vonwacq, then they will grow into sweet oranges. This is naturally due to the fertile and balanced soils of Vonwacq. And if the lightfish fry from Thalassa are introduced to my world and raised by the Vidyadhara at Scalegorge Waterscape, they can double in size to over three feet long.""The Whistling Flames' latest plan is to carefully select species with commercial potential, and relay them via trade starskiffs for safe transport. Within one month, you'll get the first batch of goods back. These goods would add to the glamours of the crystal palace at the bottom of the Thalassan abyss, and can even become a unique trading products for your nation."The man with gills blows out a few bubbles, which represents a slightly hesitant agreement in his culture. Then, his larynx pronounces some wondrous syllables: "I thought the Whistling Flames were speculative traders involved in arbitrage. Are you planning to change the current situation in the logistics industry, where the IPC reigns supreme? Tell me, how much do you want?""For a return service, we take ninety percent. A broker just flips product from one hand to the other. Or rather, from one finned limb to the other. As the saying goes, "Real business talks no profit." Only by benefiting others can we hope to benefit ourselves. As long as the Lord of the Abyss in the Crystal Palace assents, then I'd like to enter into a contr— Ahem, I mean a permanent partnership. What do you say?"On this day, Tingyun not only closed on a deal, but also formed a new friendship for the Alliance.Story II:Tingyun was always different from the others.Foxians are synonymous with the quick and the agile. Their lightning-fast reflexes and keen senses have resulted in this, and it also makes for cheeky, playful juvenile Foxians. But Tingyun? This pointy-eared girl always looks fluffy and soft. Not only does she not vigorously pull on others' fur when meeting someone, she herself remains calm even if someone pulls on her fur. With an innocent smile and her sweet voice, she would even urge the other person to stop...It's not hard to understand differences in human nature. But compared to her Foxian peers all busy tearing up their homes, Tingyun — who'd never been any good at combat — frustrated her parents who both served in the military at the Sky-Faring Commission. Seeing as Tingyun wouldn't inherit the family business, the two shook off their prejudices and let their daughter blossom freely...As a result, a dazzling new star of trade dawned aboard the Xianzhou Luofu. With her warm personality and talented skills, this Foxian girl successively completed trade missions to sixteen different planets, and re-signed another bilateral agreement with the IPC. The famous Xianzhou trade bonanza — the Grand Fair — also developed into a famous fiesta under her advocacy."In business, it's best to work with persuadable types. For those who are less persuadable, cooling them down with a fan works wonders."Tingyun's Theme ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Yukong   Titles:    Character Details: The Xianzhou Luofu's Head of the Sky-Faring Commission is gentle, yet seasoned and authoritative.Having been a pilot since young, she had become the commission's head with her outstanding combat achievements, yet she no longer flies due to a particularly brutal battle.Now, her shine had already dimmed as she shifted her focus to official duties, but she is always seen guiding the course of the Luofu.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:"You know, only three kinds of people can work for the Sky-Faring Commission. Those who have the gift of gab, those who seek excitement, and those who crave to return to the stars — no exceptions."We are different from the Xianzhou natives with their unending lives. Even though Foxians are also considered a long-life species, our lives span only three centuries. Therefore, many of us are more passionate about enjoying the fun in life — chasing the best moments in life with all our heart and soul.Me? I am currently 246 years old. I am one step into my grave and have long gone past my days of merriment. You might know of my decisive and dashing ways when I was younger. In the tales of older Xianzhou natives, you might even hear of my achievement — such as running six consecutive red lights.I had just become an adult back then, and I was dragged in front of the general for the infringement... Guess what happened? The general wanted me to join the Sky-Faring Commission purely because of my piloting prowess, and he thought I was going to make it big in the Sky-Faring Commission.Back then, he used to call me the "Delinquent Girl." Later on, they all called me "Ace."Story II:"Old decrepits are useless, like torn strips of clothes hanging on a wooden stick."Years ago, I heard an old poem not from here. Its structure, rhyme, and form were different from Xianzhou poems. I don't like it, but this particular sentence stayed with me, like a ghost I could not chase away.I've witnessed how Outworlders age, how their skin sag, their muscles shrink, how their brains degenerate irreversibly, how their bones weaken, and their eyes cloud over...I can understand their envy towards us. I used to think the same way, that we will never grow old, that we will maintain the same appearance of youth.Every time we head out for a battle, I always promise my comrades, "You just worry about holding onto your weapon. I'll bring you back to Xianzhou."But I broke my promise. After that fateful battle, only I returned to the Sky-Faring Commission, dragging my own damaged body.I can never return. I understood that then.From then on, I tunnel-visioned on official documents, abandoning any dream of returning to the sky.I grew old."Some were born to be poets, some to be warriors — I was born to mingle among the stars."Luofu Battle Theme ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Huohuo (& Tail)   Titles:    Character Details: While this Foxian girl may seem fragile and weak, she is actually a judge-in-training of the Ten-Lords Commission, responsible for capturing evil.The judges sealed a heliobus named "Tail" onto her tail, making her a "Cursed One" with a tendency to attract evil beings.Despite trembling at the sight of evil spirits, she is always entrusted with the arduous task of eradicating their presence.She is well aware of her incompetence but lacks the courage to resign, so she forces herself to press on despite her fear.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:When Huohuo awakes at the Ten-Lords Commission, she finds herself confronted not with novelty, but with an atmosphere that sent shivers down her spine.Sensing her unease, a white-haired judge addresses her with gentleness."Tell me, little girl, how did you come across that fire?""...It was along the roadside and about to extinguish, so I... I wished to help it.""So you put that fire on your tail? Why did you do that?""I... I don't know... It happened before I realized it... I'm so sorry.""You don't need to apologize, kind-hearted girl. However, you'll be under our custody from now onwards.""Th—Thank you, Madam.""Call me Hanya.""Ah, thank you, Madam Hanya. I... my name is Huohuo."The thoughts of the judge named Hanya wandered back to a few days ago.The Ten-Lords Commission received a distress call, and she took the task to locate the Foxian girl who was about to be consumed by a heliobus. At the moment, Hanya couldn't repel the heliobus by force without posing a threat to Huohuo, who was still a little girl. As a result, she had to seal the heliobus onto the girl's tail. Fortunately, the heliobus decided to start from her tail, giving Hanya a chance to save her life."...Was my decision right or wrong?"Hanya mutters to herself.Story II:While the heliobus is short-tempered and arrogant, it is not impossible to communicate with. It could not tolerate Huohuo's sobbing and wailing, and didn't quite understand how Foxians socialize — for example, it didn't understand why the girl would be ostracized by her classmates due to "her tail being on fire.""You! Tear off that talisman!""No! Madam Hanya said the talisman must not be removed under any circumstances...""Did you hear them? How dare they mock me!? I've never been humiliated like this before!""No... they're not mocking you... but me...""Then you go teach them a lesson yourself. If you can't avenge me for this insult, then don't talk to me anymore.""B—But... I'm scared...""Alright, fine. You know what? Just take a deep breath, make your mind go blank, and don't think about anything. I'll handle this problem for you.""B—But... Madam Hanya said... the talisman must not be removed...""Don't worry. Just do what I say."...When she regained consciousness, the legend of "the possessed demoness" was already circulating.After that, Huohuo went and found out a lot about the heliobus' past. Eons ago, a heliobus named Ignamar was defeated by a Luofu general and fragmented into numerous shards, then sealed in the Creation Furnace. This particular shard escaped, and it represents the arrogant side of Ignamar and wouldn't condescend to possessing anything, living as a vagabond for centuries... until Huohuo chanced upon it in its utter exhaustion."Then I'll call you 'Tail' to avoid unwanted attention..."The heliobus said nothing, its silence being a sign of acquiescence."I can use this banner to dispel demons... but it also comes in handy when signaling my surrender..."Huohuo's Theme ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Jing Yuan   Titles: The Divine Foresight   Character Details: The Divine Foresight, one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals. Although his appearance may be one of indolence, he is more meticulous than seemingly meets the eye. He does not consider saving a situation from the brink of disaster to be a show of wisdom, and is thus fastidious with routine affairs to avoid any potential problems. Due to his careful management, Xianzhou has enjoyed many years of peace, with Jing Yuan's seemingly lazy demeanor having earned him the moniker of the "Dozing General."   Character Stories I and II: Story I:"Master Diviner, why do we use a square board but round pieces for starchess?""Perhaps it's based around the round sky and square earth? Ancient civilizations believed the earth was flat. This set is modeled after the old days of nation-states and imperial conquest over a singular planet, so naturally it's square. As for the pieces... People back then believed the sky was a round dome, and chess pieces spun around like stars in that dome to reflect in human lives. That's why they are also round.""No, no. That's incorrect.""I've already predicted your next forty-eight moves. Jing Yuan, if you want to distract me with questions, I urge you to stop.""Ah, how could you suspect such malice?""Don't interrupt me. Keep talking.""It's true that chess is a metaphor and describes the human condition. The rules of war are clearly established, with each piece's actions fixed — advance, retreat, and jump. Advance or retreat is always in an orderly manner, which is why the board's square in its orderliness. As for the pieces, the sages said "use intellect with subtlety and suaveness." As each piece is meant to be sentient individuals, they are therefore circular.""The origins of starchess are covered in the Gleaned Pearls of Verdure. I've read lots, Jing Yuan — why are you brazenly lying to me!""Cloud Knight moves to C3, taking your King. You lost, Lady Fu.""Hang on! How did I not see this in my predictions? B—Back up. Let me see that move again.""Chess pieces are like people. Each has its own sentience. There is no going back on the chessboard. How can anyone return to the past? Haha, how can the head of a Commission act like a sore loser?"Story II:Of an alliance spanning six mighty Xianzhou ships, the Cloud Knights emerged out of the ashes of the Flaming Catastrophe. They swore an oath to defend the Xianzhou ships and follow Reignbow's decree of The Hunt, a tradition carried out to this day. Despite the incredible longevity of long-life species, few generals have been able to pass the century mark after taking up the mantle due to the bloody nature of warfare. This is not so much fate as it is tradition. As the armed defenders of Xianzhou against crusading abominations, generals not only must take the lead for planning and dispatching, but also take the lead into battle. Amidst countless names erased too quickly and too cruelly in the annals of history, the Divine Foresight Jing Yuan, leader of the Cloud Knights of the Xianzhou Luofu, stands out from the rest with his centuries-old reign. Under his wise strategy, the Luofu's Cloud Knights have made a name for themselves among the Alliance, achieving an exemplary record. While there are those who complained that he feared combat so much so that he seldom resorted to arms, it remains true that his intellect is no less resourceful than the tip of the sharpest sword in solving thorny problems."A truly masterful chess player has no brilliant moves. People clamor excitedly over displays of extreme cunning, forgetting to worry about the overall dangers of the situation." Jing Yuan's Theme------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Luocha   Titles:    Character Details: An elegant and handsome blond young man who carries a giant coffin on his back.As an intergalactic merchant, he was unfortunately caught in the Xianzhou Luofu's Stellaron crisis.And that is how he found his mastery of medicine to come in handy.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:"What's your occupation?""Traveling merchant.""What is the purpose of your entry?""Commercial business.""Do you vow not to violate the laws and regulations of the Xianzhou Alliance, to conduct business activities in accordance with the law, and not to conduct activities outside the scope of the visa permit?""Of course. I will follow the law.""Do you vow not to conduct any illegal research related to immortality?""I... promise.""Great, please sign here.""Mr. Luocha, welcome to the Xianzhou Luofu."Story II:"Hey, do you still remember that guy? Came here often, carries a huge box...""You mean Luocha?""Yeah, Luocha... He's an Outworder, right? But from the way he works and speaks, he feels like those older Xianzhou natives. Has he lived here for long? But then again, he had kept his unique and exotic fashion style...""Who knows? Maybe it's because his blond hair doesn't match the clothing of Xianzhou."He would sometimes think of home.The devils, the church, the insanity... None of those are good memories.People would clamber to high places in groups just so they could witness their city's demise.If everything were to end, then there shall be at least one witness."Why do you still wear the clothes of your home world?" Someone asked."It reminds me of the path I must keep treading. That is all," Luocha answered."This coffin isn't mine. I was merely entrusted to take the body back to the Luofu."Luocha's Theme------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Yanqing   Titles:    Character Details: The spirited lieutenant of the Xianzhou Luofu, and also its most proficient swordsman.He was born for the sword and is obsessed with it. Whenever a sword rests in Yanqing's hand, none would dare underestimate this genius still in the early days of his youth.Perhaps the only thing capable of dulling his treasured blade's sharp edge is time.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:Youngest lieutenant in the history of the Cloud Knights. Retainer to General Jing Yuan. Collector of antique swords from the Artisanship Commission... With all these auspicious titles and street gossip swirling around this one wunderkind, it's scarcely believable that he is still a child.Ever since he could remember, Yanqing would follow Jing Yuan around like a shadow, helping the Seat of Divine Foresight resolve problems. And Jing Yuan in return taught him the art of swordplay — and the art of war. After years of training, Yanqing's mind is as quick and sharp as the spotless sword he keeps.Cloud Knight combat drills attest that controlling six simultaneous flying daggers is something even Cloud Knight chief drillmasters can't master in a century. The phrase agreed among the Xianzhou people to describe the combat talents of Yanqing is "A gifted swordsman born to fight."Story II:It's recorded in the military annals of the Cloud Knights how Jing Yuan came to discover the young boy, stood his ground against public opinion, and incorporated him into the armed forces. However, in the family lineage column, Yanqing's lineage was relegated to the category of unknown.Most talented officers display military talent from childhood. For millennia, several talented unicorns have emerged ahead of the pack during the hunt. However, Yanqing earned a military commission before he even reached the age of majority. Some would criticize that "the general is absurd" on this matter.However, this genius' debut on the battlefield was even more explosive, and any critical voices soon fell silent.When hunting near a distant star, the monstrously huge mechabeast Windguard created by the Denizens of Abundance was pulverizing defense forces as though they were ants. But this young boy met against it face-to-face, claiming its head and routing the enemy to the point of collapse.As for subsequent victories: He broke the borisin's Devouring Wolf formation with Jing Yuan, beheading three Brood Lords. He also fought viciously against the wingweavers, ultimately sinking their almighty Cloudseizer Fleet... These are just a small footnote in the annals of his courageous swordplay."I only called you 'teacher' because I admire your skill in this area. Don't expect me to start taking it easy on you."Yanqing's Theme  

  Name: Clara (& Svarog)   Titles: Bloody Rabbit (Monitoring Automaton Prototype 3)   Character Details: A young girl raised by a robot. Her perceptiveness and tenacity are far beyond her years.For Clara, Svarog's logical calculations are the laws of the world and are infallible.That is, until she realizes that the results from the calculations don't always necessarily bring joy to everyone.The once shy little girl then decides to cast aside her timidness.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:"— Log ██/██/████ AF.""A female child discovered in a landfill to the southeast of Boulder Town.""Scans show the child has no structural damage or functional issues, but her mental state was relatively unstable. She is resistant to questions about her condition and clearly wanted to avoid the subject.""I have continued attempting to communicate with her, and successfully obtained some information.""The child begins to cry, lasting three hours and seven minutes.""The child's name is Clara. Her background is unknown.""Conclusion: Take her back to base for observations, and collect further information to generate a follow-up plan to take care of her."Story II:"— Log ██/██/████ AF.""Clara has grown proficient in the Belobog common tongue, and displays great talent in the field of mechanical engineering — but she still resists communication with other humans. Assessment: this tendency is detrimental to Clara's long-term development in Belobog.""There is currently an urgent need to develop a suitable socialization and communication program for Clara. Priority: High.""— Log ████/██/██ AF.""Clara has successfully made contact with an individual of similar age in Boulder Town. The individual is named Hook, and claims to be the head manager of the local security organization The Moles. No information about this organization has been found in my database.""Clara's contact with Hook didn't go well at first. She displayed considerable shyness. However, Hook managed to keep the conversation going with extreme enthusiasm and empathy, calling Clara an 'honorary member of The Moles.' After contact, Clara described Hook as 'her first friend.'""This matter is of tremendous significance to Clara, and this log has been tagged Important.""Mr. Svarog... is my family.""Stay back, Clara."Clara and Svarog's theme -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name: Gepard Landau   Titles: Stout Defender of the Union   Character Details: The honorable and upstanding captain of the Silvermane Guards who bears the noble Landau family name.In the frost-whipped city of Belobog, life can still go on in normality...This is in no small part thanks to Gepard and his Silvermane Guards who protect the peace of everyday life.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:The young captain stands atop the northern rampart.He surveys the pale wastelands before him, and watches the strange beings from the Fragmentum forming a broiling swarm in the distance amid the snow. He sees the fearless Silvermane Guards lining up in formation to guard the city, like a defensive parapet.That was his original position. Back when he was still a humble private, he'd sworn to serve as Belobog's strongest shield and pledged to live and die with his comrades. This hasn't changed when he became a captain. This isn't some fireside joke of the Silvermane Guards, because Qlipoth is testimony to this oath.However, right at this time, he isn't where he should be — and this is at the request of the Supreme Guardian.What exactly is the Supreme Guardian thinking? The young captain has no idea. But he soon forces himself to focus on the conflict at hand."Remember, Gepard Landau.""Doubt breeds arrogance, and doubt breeds evil. As a model for Belobog, you shouldn't overthink."Story II:The young captain stands atop the northern rampart.After the most epic of battles, the few surviving Silvermane guards made their way back to Belobog. The Supreme Guardian ordered an immediate parade to celebrate this hard-earned victory. For more than three days and nights, the whole city reveled in a carnival with great laughter and joy. The celebration reached its climax at an awards ceremony for the Silvermane Guards.Under the watchful gaze of the crowds, the Supreme Guardian presented an award to the greatest soldiers for outstanding military service. This young captain from a noble house quietly puts on the arm armor forged out of Geomarrow — Light, flexible, and strong, while radiating a light reminiscent of auroras — That's the only impression he had of this treasure.How many of his comrades' lives had been exchanged for such a glorious medal? He forces himself not to think about it. For now, he could only meet the expectations of the Supreme Guardian and all of Belobog with a smile — because this is what a loyal soldier must do.The moment the captain finishes putting on the arm armor, a brilliant beam of light shoots out from the joints between the plates. The crowd erupts into a spontaneous and prolonged applause.Nobody sees the weary faces beneath the helmets of those Silvermane Guards — they merely thought this is a triumphant victory."Loyalty isn't an inherent virtue of humans. As such, the recipient of that loyalty also needs to be worthy."Gepard's theme -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name:  Luka   Titles: Luka Strongarm   Character Details: An optimistic and carefree fighter with a mechanical arm. Skilled in mixed martial arts and is a Wildfire member.From the fight cage to the battlefield, and from a fighter to a warrior, Luka uses his strength to protect the people of the Underworld.He wishes to bring hope to others precisely because he had experienced despair himself.   Character Stories I and II: Story I:He lifts the steel hammer over and over.Sparks erupt before his eyes, and the clang of metal against metal mutes the thuds of moving muscle and joints. The boy is not yet tall enough to reach at the top of the steel cabinet, but the power with which he swings the steel hammer can already that of the most skilled craftsmen.The shop is his entire life, with his father squatting next to the door and repeatedly cleaning the rusted old shop sign.Sometimes he would lie on his hard bed and imagine his future — but no matter where his mind wandered, his father's figure would always appear in his thought at the end.he temporarily puts down his work as footsteps approach. His father stands up, and the older man's stout but bowed figure moves with a hint of groveling flattery. It's those people from Wildfire again. Ever since Moletammerville went under a curfew, they have been frequenting this shop and have increased the number of orders for various weapons.As the boy thinks about this, he happens to stare into the eyes of that regular old customer who acts as the leader of the group. That man's skin is tanned and he stands tall, his sharp gaze immediately softens when he locks eyes with the boy.Then, he nods imperceptibly at the boy."Welcome, Chief Oleg! How can I help you today?""Patience, my good sir. I'm just here for a chat today." The man points at Luka. "A chat about your son."Story II:There is fire all around him, and the thick black smoke makes it hard to see. He keeps hearing screams and screeches as the fused scent of machine oil and blood sweeps over his nostrils. Luka tries hard to push down the urge to vomit.The smile that Oleg put on his face when Luka swung a perfect straight punch for the first time inspired Luka. However, once the boy had experienced to cruelty of the front lines first-hand, he never regained that warm feeling in his heart. Luka would secretly observe his comrades' expressions every time they lined up for action — and the apprehension he saw on those faces would actually sooth his own anxiety.A scream pulls Luka back to reality. He rushes toward where the sound came from and sees a helpless child being backed into a corner by a monster. Instinctively, he leaps out and puts himself between the sharp ax and the child's fragile form.A loud blast sounds from behind him. Luka hugs the panicked boy with one arm and slowly turns his head. The mutated monster had fallen to the ground, seemingly hit in the vitals by a stray bullet."Th-Thank you... mister...""Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?""Mister... your... your arm..."His eyes follow the direction the child is pointing at. The sleeve that should have covered his upper right arm has been reduced to a shred of broken fabric, and blood is pouring out of his severed limb.However, before he faints from the pain, he could once again feel that warmth swelling up in his heart."Tell you a secret — the trick to becoming a champion is training hard while everyone is resting."Fight Club Theme -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name: Lynx Landau   Titles:    Character Details: The youngest daughter of the Landau family, and one of Belobog's best extreme environments explorers.She is highly capable of action despite her apparent lack of motivation. She only appears introverted and lazy to avoid unnecessary socialization.As for what counts as unnecessary socialization — "Um, aren't all socialization unnecessary?"   Character Stories I and II: Story I:Scenes from the Snow Plains are far from to the daily lives of Belobogians. So far that a girl could only see them in her dreams.During the days of her education, she always read about how the world before the Eternal Freeze was vast and varied. However, when Lynx asked her teachers for more details, they would always respond with an exasperated expression: "Only the deepest parts of the Snow Plains hold the answers to that..."Lynx often heard from the teacher about the outlandish phenomena known as "aurora" in geography class. She found herself imagining the variegation and capricious alterations of that band of light. But when she asked her teacher why she couldn't witness such a sight within the confines the city, they would always respond with an exasperated expression: "Unfortunately, the aurora can only be observed in the deepest parts of the Snow Plains..."The girl was never able to get the answers she so desired for that vast world.However, if her teachers were correct, then the answers behind everything could be found hidden in the Snow Plains.So, wouldn't simply venturing into its depths personally be the resolution?"So... I've decided that I want to go explore the depths of the Snow Plains!""Huh?""What?"Story II:"Lynx, you know how cold it is outside Belobog...""...It's not big deal, Gepard. I got warm clothes and a heater. I'm all ready.""But the Snow Plains aren't just dangerous because of the extreme weather. There are also all kinds of vicious monsters there...""...That's not big deal. Don't worry. Ran into some of them a few times when I was with the patrols before. I can handle them.""Wait, when was that?""Uh...""Agh... Serval, give me a hand here. She's your sister too.""Huh? Oh, she should get to do what she wants to do. Seeing our little Lynxy be such a go-getter about what she wants makes me real proud to be her sister...""...Hehe, thanks, sis.""But Gepard's right: You need to pay attention to your safety when you're exploring the outside alone. Don't! Push! Yourself! Here, take these things too...""...What's this stuff?""This is the 'Vanguard' climbing pick you said you wanted to get last month. But don't you worry, your sister's got your back. I might've made a small redesign to it, but I promise it works well. Also, this is new 'Pathfinder' series snowboard from your brother. And, oh, this water bottle — a Goethe Hotel annual exclusive make. I changed the shoulder strap to your appropriate measurements and added some decorations. Also — also! These energy bars and food cans can fill you right up...""Uh, didn't you promise not to tell her about the snowboard.""Agh, this really isn't the time to be stuck on that!""Anyway, remember to use these well and keep yourself protected out there. You hear me? I want to hear you promise!""...Alright, I promise!""In the Landau family, things are simple: If you wanna do something, go do it."Wildfire by the Landau family -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name: Natasha   Titles:    Character Details: A fastidious doctor who always wears an enigmatic smile.In the Underworld where medical resources are scarce, Natasha is one of the very few doctors whom the people can turn to.Even the rambunctious Hook would politely greet her... "Hi, big sis Natasha."   Character Stories I and II: Story I:"Quick, press down here! Press down hard to staunch the bleeding!"Natasha shoots a panicked look at her brother. Before her lay a man covered in bandages from head to toe, his torso twitching and twisting with severe pain as he muttered nonsense."What are you waiting for?! Quick, hold it down!"There is anger in her brother's order and — she is sharp enough to tell — a hint of disappointment. Natasha hurries to hold onto the man's right arm, and musters all her strength to press down the cotton gauze onto his shoulder.The man lets out a heart-wrenching moan, but she can't stop until her brother orders her to.After who knows how long, the patient before her stops breathing, and she stares blankly at the lifeless body."You did your best," her brother says. His voice returning to its usual impassive tone. "Get some rest real quick. Some of them are still waiting to be patched up."She turns over the man's red palm. His fingers are already stiff as the stench of blood fills the air. Natasha allows the smell to rile up her emotions — she know she must get used to this if she were to continue down this road.Story II:"Excellent... excellent as always," the professor says to herself as she flips through the notes, "With your grades and clinical performance... You'll be an outstanding candidate whether you're in the hospital or in the armed forces."Natasha's pulse races, and her fingers subconsciously clench up. The professor notices her body language."What's the matter, child? Have you got something to say?"Natasha composes herself — she wants to convey her decision with confidence and conviction."I want to go back to the Underworld, Professor. I know I can help more people down there."The old woman is stunned for a brief moment, before slowly pushing her glasses upwards. Then, she lowers her head and continues on reading the file she is holding."I see. That's exactly what your mother said... I wish you all the best then, Natasha."Natasha stands up and solemnly bows. As she walks through that white corridor at Belobog Medical Academy for the last time, her heart is filled with determination."Where's a doctor when you need one?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name: Sampo Koski   Titles:    Character Details: A silver tongued salesman. Where there is profit to be made, you can be sure Sampo is nearby.The information that only Sampo possesses makes it hard not to approach him for help, but becoming his "customer" is not necessarily a good thing.After all, "customers" can quickly turn into "commodities" for the right price   Character Stories I and II: Story I:Hello everyone! This is Brughel Poisson from the Crystal Daily, and I'm here at the Fountain Plaza in the Administrative District. Standing next to me is someone who calls themselves a member of the Dark-Blue Scam Victims' Association, and I am about to conduct a short interview with him.""Hello There, sir. Could you please tell me and the audience about your experience of getting scammed?""Oh... I'm so utterly enraged! That blue-haired punk... I hope he dies!""Sir, we're live right now... please calm down.""Ahem... Fine. The Crystal Daily, right? That's it. you should report more on the suffering of everyday people and pay less attention to gossip about the Architects...""I'm telling you, that blue-haired punk has slipped off into the Administrative District again! Yesterday he pinched three catties of rye bread spices from my store — Three whole catties! Do you know how long those will last for the dignitaries? Next thing, he'll be robbing a spice factory!""Please calm down, sir! We sympathize deeply with your plight. Now then, you just mentioned the Belobog spice factory, didn't you?""Err... Sure, I mentioned it. Was that important?""This factory... are you able to tell me its exact location?""Err... Why?""Well you see, as journalists, we want to contribute to social justice causes — and only by knowing the exact location can our Silvermane Guards and righteous citizens reduce burglaries. Wouldn't you agree?""Err... That makes sense. Then listen up, the address of the factory is..."Story II:"Name.""Alexey. Alexey Bulger.""Rank.""Private First-Class.""Hello, Private First-Class Alexey. I'm Brughel Poisson, senior human resources specialist for the Silvermane Guards. Captain Gepard asked me to approve your application for personal leave.""It's a pleasure to meet you, Madam Brughel.""Let's see... It says here that you were wounded four months ago during a defensive operation, with a total of five fractures... Yet despite all this, you have continued to carry out your duties right up until now. Admirable!""Thank you, Madam Brughel.""You guard the... 3rd Arsenal at the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone, yes? Terrific! As far as I know, that's an extremely important military zone where the most expensive... Ahem, the most valuable Silvermane military resources are stored.""You're right, ma'am.""Let me see... Hmm, no problem. Private First-Class Alexey, at this stage you are cleared to go home next Tuesday.""...What, so soon? As far as I know, this kind of high-level guard duty usually takes at least a month to process handovers —""...Don't worry, Private First-Class. I appreciate your determination to the cause, but nothing is more important to me than protecting the physical and mental well-being of one of our best Silvermane Guards! Don't worry, I've already picked out someone to fill in for you, so everything's taken care of.""...I understand. Thank you very much, ma'am.""That's the one! Remember, next Tuesday — I want you and your luggage out of the restricted zone before 20:17!""Wherever there is business, there is Sampo."Boulder City Theme -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name: Seele   Titles: Butterfly of Tempest   Character Details: "A spirited and valiant member of Wildfire who grew up in the perilous Underworld of Belobog. She is accustomed to being on her own.The protectors and the protected, the oppressors and the oppressed... The world Seele grew up knowing was just a simple dichotomy...That is, until "that girl" appeared."   Character Stories I and II: Story I:Seele's first fight in her life was for herself.Back then, she would wander around aimlessly through the alleyways each day. When she was thirsty, she'd beg for water at the Orphanage. When she was hungry, she'd swap scraps she found with the merchants for biscuits. Everyone in the dark side of Rivet Town knew that fearless homeless girl, and everyone was keen to avoid this wild, stubborn little rascal.One hot evening, she felt very thirsty from playing too much. She arrived at the Orphanage to discover the bucket containing water from the well was almost empty. Another shriveled homeless man was also there trying to get a drink — and after a power struggle which involved fists and even teeth, the man fled and Seele earned the right to slake her thirst alone.Seele saw the man three days later. Through the window of the clinic, she saw that wizened figure at death's door, lying on a stretcher.Ever since then, she's always left a little water in the bucket for the people coming later.Story II:As a child, Seele only ever went up to the Overworld once. That was after she'd met Oleg — who at the time was still captain of the Underworld's Silvermane Guards. Oleg hid Seele in his supply bag one day and took her up to the Overworld by cable car to give her a peek at the city she yearned for.Seele followed Oleg around the sights of Belobog, eating delicious foods and dressing up in splendid clothes beyond her wildest imagination. She scared off a group of kids with her uncouth miner slang, which caused Oleg to burst out into laughter. Those two short days were full of joy and laughter.Before leaving that evening, they sat on a bench in the Executive Plaza as Seele stared at the restaurant opposite them."Was the Overworld fun, Seele? Wanna come back again later?""Can I ask you something?""...What's up? Ask away.""Those Overworlders are only eating half their meal, and threw the rest away.""...""Do they know that people down below haven't got enough food to eat?""..."Oleg saw how a look of gloom passed over her tender face."Let's go back, Oleg. I don't want to come back here again.""To use our strength to create a fair society... Isn't that the obvious goal?"Seele's Theme  

Name: HertaTitles: Number 83 of the Genius SocietyCharacter Details: "Herta space station's true master.As the human with the highest IQ on the Blue, she only does what she's interested in, dropping projects the moment she loses interest — the best example being the space station.She typically appears in the form of a remote-controlled puppet."It's about seventy percent similar to how I looked as a child." — Herta"Character Stories I and II: Madam Herta's manuscripts are extremely valuable assets.Its core rarity is not in how Madam Herta rarely pens to paper, but because to a genius like her, nothing is ever worth recording.Scientific research that would take normal researchers ten years — or even a lifetime — to achieve may be able to shed light on an entirely new domain of research, but they are to Herta as ordinary as turning on a LED light. Who would waste time trying to systematically record such trivial matters?It's not just Madam Herta — any documentation written by a Genius Society member is a priceless treasure. However, Herta is more generous and more understanding toward normal people like us. She leaves her handwritten drafts behind in random places around the space station with as much generosity as she allows researchers to study the Curios she collected.Of course, we all firmly understand that Madam Herta isn't being lazy and just discarding incomplete drafts around the place. It's so she can claim to investors with plausible deniability that "I've finished writing that paper, but can't find it anywhere.""I'm already perfect, so what else should I do?"Herta Space Station Theme -------------------------------------------------------------------------Name:  HimekoTitles: Starward ExplorerCharacter Details: "An adventurous scientist who encountered the Astral Express as a young woman when it got stranded in her homeworld.Years later, when Himeko finally repaired the Express and began her journey into the stars, she realized that this is only the beginning. On her journey to trailblaze new worlds, she would need many more companions...And while they may have different destinations, they all gaze at the same starry sky."Character Stories I and II: The girl is lost.She can't remember when she became lost. She just walked and walked, on and on into the dark night, chasing the sun and the moon, over and over again — until she falls.She remembers what she looked like as a college freshman, remembers her chosen major — interstellar travel dynamics — and now she's lying face down in the mud.She looks up to the stars, and just then sees meteors streaming down: one, two, three... And then more, smaller ones, flickering and flashing ever so finely before a magnificent blaze tore open the night.Her limbs drag her forward, leading her on to where the land meets the ocean. At the shoreline, the waters jostle against her like how the tide treats that stranded Express, alone and lost.She walks in and see the scenery outside beginning to change. The Express shows her a myriad of magnificent worlds. They are faraway, beyond her homeworld, yet also close enough to be a simple train ride.She tries to repair the Express. It starts up only briefly, but it is enough to skid across the sky of her home. She immediately sees the path home. From that altitude, the journey is so short, and even the ocean of her homeworld appears so insignificant.It asked her whether she'd like to travel together. She wonders what kind of journey that would be."A journey to the beginning.""Let's go then." Without hesitation, the girl replied, "Just as you brought me home, so would I take you home, too."Himeko has a suitcase.This suitcase is her treasure trove. Previously, she'd filled it with all kinds of train repair tools to fix up the Express. But now, it's packed with a molecular saw, an escaped satellite, and countless other contraptions — the embodiment of her whims and the proof of her resolute will.No travel companion is more faithful to her than this suitcase. Passengers come and go on the Express, and perhaps not even "the conductor" would be able to accompany her and the Express from start to finish.But she doesn't care. She didn't care when that pretentious blond man left without saying goodbye, just like how she didn't care about her distant homeworld and old friends.She knows that this journey is lonely. Even if she could get to know like-minded travel companions, even if they showed her generous grace, even if she could witness the end of a complete journey with those companions — that's all just a momentary fluke.She knows that this journey is lonely. Nobody can follow in the exact same footsteps as anyone else. Nobody can experience for someone else everything that happens along a journey. All she can rely on are her own two eyes and feet.That's why she stores inside her suitcase all the sights her eyes have witnessed, and all the footprints her feet have left behind."Alright, crew! This world is the target of our next trailblazing expedition!"Himeko Theme-------------------------------------------------------------------------Name:  Welt Yang (Joachim Nokianvirtanen)Titles: In the Name of the WorldCharacter Details: The wise and sophisticated former Anti-Entropy Sovereign who inherits the name of the world — Welt. He has saved Earth from annihilation time and time again.After the incident with St. Fountain came to a close, Welt had no choice but to venture with the initiator of the incident to the other side of the portal.Perhaps even he didn't expect the new journey nor companions that awaited him there.Character Stories I and II: On the way to the portal, Welt took out a pen and started outlining a sketch. For the eight years prior to that moment, he'd been repeating this job.Going back further in time, he would construct objects in a different way, as long as the images could be pictured in his mind. But he could never regard that as "creation," because they were just the way the original is. Those had nothing to do with his mind.This is just the duty of the man who inherited the name of the world. If the world needs him to save it, then he will become that hero without hesitation. He has fallen down many times and been mocked even more, but he will always stand before everyone either in the past or the future — he will never change.Only now, he finds himself embarking on a new journey.When Welt returned to that dangerous cosmic battlefield, he could feel his blood start to boil once more.Even when his spaceship lost power and was drifting aimlessly through space, he joked casually with his companion: "The end of one adventure is often the beginning of another."When a passing-by Himeko managed to save them and informed them that they couldn't go back home, he kept up his jokes: "This is like something out of a cartoon, and it's far too coincidental to be real."Life really is this coincidental.Since he can't find his way back home and can't live out a peaceful existence for the time being, why doesn't he take up arms again and fight?This time, there is no burden or destiny to bear. Everything shall obey his own will."The galaxy is vast beyond compare, containing an infinite number of possibilities. An individual's fate shouldn't be limited to a single path ordained by heaven."Welt's theme-------------------------------------------------------------------------Name: March 7thTitles: (It's March, what do you want me to say, huh!? I have nothing to say about her! Shut up!)Character Details: A spirited and quirky young girl who is into all the things girls her age are interested in, such as taking photos.She was awakened from a piece of drifting eternal ice, only to find that she knows nothing about herself or her past. Though initially feeling dejected, she decided to name herself after the date of her rebirth.And thus, on that day, March 7th was born.Character Stories I and II: Why does March 7th take photos?"First of all, girls like me should like this kind of pastime.""Besides, I won't forget anything that I keep a photo of."What has March 7th come to learn about photography?"Number one, when taking pictures of terrible cuisines, all the details must be clearly visible on the pictures because 'Taking pictures of food is equal to eating them. Every detail matters.'""Number two, as long as you take a picture with your eyes closed, you will be able to capture an expression of your subject with their eyes closed."Why is March 7th always wearing her camera?"Because if anyone ever seals me away in ice again, at least I'll have my camera with me!"So why doesn't March 7th just use the camera on her phone?"Oh yeah, why not — hang on, it's because of that sense of formality!"March 7th's ability is "Six-Phased Ice", but she has always insisted that it is not ice but some kind of condensed crystal."Come on, ice can't be this beautiful."The bows and arrows March 7th uses in battle are also made of the Six-Phased Ice, but she is not satisfied with the fact that her weapon is a bow."Great warriors never use bows!""Besides, if I use my ice arrow to attack my ice shield, nothing will happen at all!"March 7th has also worked hard to practice a unique skill called "Star Crazing: Glass Greatsword," but she never succeeded."March, judging by the name, it should be a greatsword, right?""Well, but it doesn't feel as good as an ice sculpture... smash.""Well would you listen to that! I saved everyone without causing any trouble! You're pretty awesome, March 7th!"March's theme

Warning. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons living or dead, actual events, or actual organizations is purely coincidental.DECLASSIFIED File No. D846710Code Name: "Angel-Dust"Paragon Times ArticlesOn August 18, the Paragon Times published the first installment of a two part-part series of articles concerning polvo, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), and the Ravencroft crime syndicate. The introduction to the first installment of the series read:For the better part of a decade, a San Nicolas Bay Area drug ring sold tons of angel-dust to the wealthy and elite of Paragon and funneled millions in drug profits to a European crime syndicate under the aid and protection by the U.S. National Intelligence Bureau, a Paragon Times investigation has found.This drug network opened an everygrowing pipeline between Ravencroft's cartels and the high class neighborhoods of Paragon, a city known as the "dust" capital of the world. The polvo that flooded in helped spark a dust explosion in elite America...and provided the cash and connections needed for crime families to buy automic weapons.The two-day series of articles, entitled "Dark Alliance: The Story Behind the Dust Explosion," told the story of a Paragon drug operation run by James Woodrow, described sympathetically as "a disillusioned 19-year old...who, at the dawn of the 1980s, found himself adrift on the streets of Northeast Paragon." The Dark Alliance series recounted how Woodrow began peddling small quantities of polvo in the early 1980s and rapidly grew into one of the largest drug dealers in Southern Iona until he was convicted of federal drug trafficking charges in March 1994. The series claimed that Woodrow's rise in the drug world was made possible by Marcus Antony Ravencroft an individual with ties to the Fuerza Templaris Internacional (FTI), one group comprising the European mafiosos. Ravencroft reportedly sold tons of polvo to Woodrow, who in turn converted it to angel-dust and sold it in the upper echelons of Northeast Paragon. Ravencroft was said to have used their drug trafficking profits to help fund guerilla armies around the world.

Role-Playing Guidelines: • Depth in Responses: Please avoid one-liners. I appreciate multi-paragraph to novella-length responses that enrich our storytelling.  • Perspective: We should maintain third-person narration to enhance the narrative depth and character distinction. • Character Originality: Original characters are preferred to foster creativity and unique interactions. • Initiation and Flexibility: Discussions before starting are ideal to set the scene and expectations. However, I’m open to impromptu starts as the mood strikes. • Communication is Key: Keep me updated on any delays or changes in availability, and I will do the same. This helps us maintain a smooth flow in our role-playing. • Open to Mid-RP Adjustments: Feel free to bring up any ideas or concerns about the direction of the RP at any time. Constructive discussions are welcome to ensure we’re both engaged and satisfied with the progress.

His appearance hints at his rumored draconic heritage. • Personality: Bold, spirited, and driven by an insatiable thirst for discovery. Ryota blends scholarly curiosity with the bravery of a warrior. He can be condescending and short-tempered, particularly when he feels his talents are underappreciated or when challenged unexpectedly. • Abilities: • Mana Core Stage: Light Yellow, indicative of considerable purification and power. • Elemental Magic: Specializes in fire, potentially evolving to include lightning due to his innate talent. • Latent Darkness Manipulation: A formidable, hidden power surfaces uncontrollably during moments of intense emotion or stress, enhancing his strength and causing unpredictable berserk episodes. • Equipment: Wields an artifact sword that resonates with his mana, carries leather-bound tomes of Eldorian lore, and various rune-inscribed charms. • Backstory: Growing up in the Realm of Solara, Ryota was immersed in tales of dragons and mages. His ambition is to unravel Eldoria’s mysteries, master both sword and sorcery, and forge his own legend. • Goals: To ascend through the adventurer ranks, form a bond with a Mana Beast, and discover the truth about his ancestry. • Weaknesses: His curiosity often leads him into danger, and his quick temper can result in chaotic situations. The unpredictability of his dormant darkness ability is a source of internal conflict and concern. • Home Region: The Realm of Solara, though he is drawn to adventures across all of Eldoria. • Mage Type: A hybrid of Conjurer and Augmenter, adept at manipulating his environment and enhancing his physical capabilities. • Mana Beast Aspirations: Seeks to bond with a dragon or dragonkin, which would confirm or deny the myths of his heritage. • Affiliated Institution: Graduate of a prestigious magic academy, now a prominent member of an esteemed Adventure Guild. • Adventurer Rank: Currently holds a high B rank, with rapid advancement toward an A rank and aspirations to achieve S rank. • Class: Initially an Elementalist, Ryota aims to evolve into an Aether Weaver or Dragon Knight. • Adventure Guild Missions: Prefers missions involving exploration of ancient ruins and battles against legendary creatures, seeking to expand his knowledge and power.

  ────────────────────────────── 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 &&⧉ Automated, copy paste greetings are and will be instant delete. Call me a hard-ass about it, but I've witnessed the age of their conception, and I've always thought they down-played writing. Sure its a hobby, I understand that, people have lives and don't have the time to remember all the people they've added and/or let alone send them all a 'personal greeting' because it is 'too much'. See how silly that sounds? If you can't handle the amount of people you added to give them a greeting, then what makes you capable of writing with that many? On a serious note: No, I understand we all get busy, just not a preference for me. Nothing against anybody personally, but its just not my favorite slice of cake.⧉ Patience is required when expecting anything out of me, much like the last rule: we all do have lives, where some of us take the time to send things out, some find a more automated route, but for me? I'll get to you, but I am not opposed to nudges. I can be very forgetful, so nudge me, remind me, just don't rush because there's a difference.⧉ Shipping isn't something I am currently open to, personal reasons and I quite like to think we can all have a good time without the idea of pinning our characters together. Fluff is nice, romance, slow burn, all lovely things but I'd rather stick to my guns about keeping it off the table for the interim. Less messy for myself, for the other party, I feel like role-play doesn't have to always be about mashing lips, aiming to rub genitalia on each other.⧉ OOC/IC will be determined by ">" or "OOC", but please note that I am 99% in character, and don't take any snarky, rude like comments to heart. Please let me know via message, side comment, parenthesis, I will always be happy to oblige. I am not here to be in character just to have an excuse to abuse people, but it keeps more focal point to role-play than OOC banter.⧉ I prefer discussion over spontaneity, even if we don't discuss the entire role-play out. I prefer to figure out the crossover, or the canon events; I prefer to build a foundation, direction, theme, and we can jump right in rather than just hit me with something random.⧉ To pair with the last rule: I will not respond to random starters, or even starter prompts unless its mainly a small, banter based writing. I enjoy crack writing, one-liners (gasp, who'd a thought?), multi-paragraph, serious based, etc., but I do not enjoy random stories being tossed my way. Just not my speed, but it won't get you deleted. I'll just be grumpy the entire time having to link my rules to you. Because obviously you didn't read them.⧉ Discord will be given at the comfortability of the mun, not a moment sooner. I don't mind getting to know people, but I'd like to keep it here until there's actual effort from someone before I go, and allow you into my personal space. Plus, role-play tends to fall off when discord adding happens, and that's not what I'm looking for.⧉ I will not write with anybody under the age of 21 years old. Personally, 18, 19, 20 years of age are far too young for me to even consider for friendship (should it ever get to that point). I'm far too old to have anything in common with an 18yr old, so please if you're under 21, delete me, and block me.

Ｌｉｖｉｎｇ Ｄｏｌｌsubspecies info Assumed in the past by Humans to be cursed or haunted objects, and otherwise assumed to be a type of Ghost Monster, "Living Dolls" are not at all undead and can be better likened to snails or molluscs. Their external body is not the true Monster, but a protective house that grows around them. As such, their "skin" is hard to the touch, and their natural DEF tends to be rather high.Extracting the Monster from its shell is a surefire way to kill it, and it is very much a one-way process in that there is no way to put them back in in a way that will save them. They can survive for a time if the extraction process is not "too" physically traumatic, but becoming dust is inevitable.Every "shell" is different. Some are more or less humanoid; some have and some lack detatchable parts.In Bunny's case, he lacks a "true" face. Each "face" is a magically created mask, of which he has many in reserve for a variety of expressions, but getting stuck on one that doesn't match the situation at all happens often. A moment of obfuscation is required to change expressions lest the nature of this physical quirk (and exploitable weak spot) become noticeable to anyone with keen observational skills.It is possible to forcibly remove his "face," but it is highly inadvisable as it is a surefire way to make an enemy out of a mad scientist.The black spots on his external shell are also weak points. They're places where his internal body isn't covered by the shell, and as such, they're soft to the touch.
