El mundo de Neidan se desarrolla en un futuro distópico en que la humanidad ha cambiado para siempre debido a experimentos y al descubrimiento de otras razas que habitaban el planeta en secreto. El género dominante es el femenino ya que fueron compatibles con los experimentos del pasado y aunque la humanidad logró sobrevivir por tantos años, dista de haber paz resultando en que el mundo se dividiera en facciones: Neutrales, personas quienes viven una vida común y tranquila en Neiran, mientras que las Heroinas y Villanas luchan por un ideal.

El foro tiene una variedad de razas, algunas exclusivas según el grupo elegido. Algo que mencionar son los poderes los cuales son a elección de una amplia lista teniendo la posibilidad de conseguir más en el futuro mediante eventos o en la tienda del foro. 

La historia puede ser un poco larga, pero es interesante, de todas maneras la ambientación te dice todo lo que necesitas, el resto de información es fácil de encontrar.  El único tema informativo que no me gusto demasiado (a mi, lo siento siempre tengo una queja) son los grupos porque prefiero que la información esté a la vista. En cuanto a la actividad, no hay limite de cuentas mientras el usuario demuestre actividad para mantenerlas, cito la regla de actividad:

☆Como se dijo más arriba, puedes crearte cuantas cuentas quieras. Aún así, debes postear 1 vez por mes para mantenerlo activo. En caso de que no se postee por 45 días, este pasará a ser inactivo, perderá el color y su físico quedará libre, pasando así a ser físico compartido por default. Para retomar el color deberá mostrar actividad. Cada cierto tiempo se realizará un censo para regularizar la actividad de los usuarios. Para ello es obligatorio firmar con cada cuenta, sin excepción. Si debes ausentarte, deberás postearlo en el censo de la manera correspondiente. Tras finalizar los censos, se borrarán las cuentas que no hayan firmado este, sin excepción alguna.

Importante: Solo se aceptan personajes femeninos. También, si bien el foro usa muchas imágenes del popular juego LoL (League of Legends), la trama no tiene que ver con el juego en cuestión.

En general me gusta la estética, sobre todo el detalle que el modo claro es de heroínas y el modo oscuro de villanas, las imagenes te ambienta bastante bien. Las búsquedas están a la vista, los roles no y aun así se pueden ver los últimos mensajes de cada subforo.

Es un foro relativamente nuevo cuya comunidad está celebrando las fechas de Halloween con un evento.

Por ahora eso es todo, mucha suerte y éxito con este hermoso proyecto.

Besitos con sabor a mochi.

Pensamientos… #vivaelyuricofcof

A piece of stylized paleoart depicting Jörmungandr, the beast of the north.

Jörmungandr is the given name of an unfathomably large hydra fossil discovered just north of Northwood, in the Neiran Mountains. It is a subject of great interest for all paleontologists and enthusiasts alike, even being considered a sacred place to the indigenous Neirans who live in the mountains. It is also, unfortunately, subject to great controversy, for Northwood's unethical ownership of the fossil's land and the bed it lays on encroaches on territory that was not originally theirs.

Jörmungandr, regardless, is an iconic being of the east and its fossil holds the answers to hundreds of mysteries that scientists have been asking for decades. The only problem is being able to study it.

Sistema de reputación

Buenas aventureros ! Hoy les voy a traer 2 publicaciones, primero el sistema de reputación, que se mencionó con anterioridad y el siguiente post será la ambientación del foro. Esperamos que les guste!

Haremos el post del sistema de reputación de forma corta, lo demás se verá en el foro <3

Niveles de Reputación

El nivel de conocimiento sobre ti en base a tu reputación se verá afectado de la siguiente manera:

0 - 25: Prácticamente eres uno más del montón. Puedes ser oficial de policía o estudiante que a nadie le importas prácticamente. 26 - 50: Tu nombre empieza a ser conocido por algunos. Puede que recuerden tu nombre o tu apodo pero no mucho más. 51 - 75: Ya varios te conocen, incluso de vez en cuando puedes ver o notar como te señalan o cuchillean de ti. 76 - 95: Si bien eres conocido, aún te falta muy poco para estar al mismo nivel de aquellas que están al poder del territorio. Se podría decir que eres una especie de celiebridad, te conocer muchos pero no todos. 96 - 100: Eres conocido en todo el territorio de Neidan, no sólo en el actual, incluso en otros lugares, fuera de este (otros países). Tu nombre resuena por todos lados y dependiendo de tu reputación, temblarán ante ti o estarán muy a gusto con tu presencia.

Ventajas de la Reputación

Para las heroínas: Al llegar a 26 puntos de reputación desbloqueas un item de nivel Raro en la tienda. Tras llegar a los 51 desbloqueas 2 items en la tienda, uno de ellos de nivel Épico y otro Legendario. Al alcanzar el rango alto, siendo así 76, desbloqueas un segundo item nivel Legendario y otro Limitado. Al llegar al máximo, siendo así 96+, tendrás la posibilidad de postularte como la siguiente gobernante de Eleanor, aparte de conseguir 2 objetos de rango Legendario hacia abajo a elección.

Para las villanas: Al llegar a 26 puntos de reputación desbloqueas un item de nivel Raro en la tienda. Tras llegar a los 51 desbloqueas 2 items en la tienda, uno de ellos de nivel Épico y otro Legendario. Al alcanzar el rango alto, siendo así 76, desbloqueas un segundo item nivel Legendario y otro Limitado. Al llegar al máximo, siendo así 96+, tendrás la posibilidad de postularte como la siguiente gobernante de Gyoturin, aparte de conseguir 2 objetos de rango Legendario hacia abajo a elección.

Para las neutrales: Al llegar a 26 puntos de reputación desbloqueas 2 items de nivel Raro en la tienda. Tras llegar a los 51 desbloqueas 2 items en la tienda, uno de ellos de nivel Épico y otro Legendario. Al alcanzar el rango alto, siendo así 76, desbloqueas un segundo item nivel Legendario y otro Limitado. Al llegar al máximo, siendo así 96+, tendrás la posibilidad de postularte como la siguiente gobernante de Neiran, aparte de conseguir 2 objetos de rango Legendario hacia abajo a elección.

Cualquier personaje que llegue al máximo de reputación, siendo así 96+ será considerado un personaje semi-canon, con el cual eso implicaría cambios importantes en la trama del foro, por ejemplo, quitar del poder a alguna de las canon actuales y tomar su puesto, entre otras variantes.

Lance of Devotion - story

Watch the story MV!

Aria, a mercenary, would soon have a mystical encounter, like no other...

There is a small region neighboring the great kingdom of Lyraea called Aurius. Ruled over by the Council of Aurius, it is a collection of small towns that has a history with the goddess Thaliann. For after the War of Origin, Thaliann would aid in the creation of smaller areas, towns, and sanctuaries for survivors to live in. Additionally, she had blessed several people with a minor Brand of Thaliann, giving them the power to more effectively wield magic and use divine healing magic. 

Aurius is the home of Aria, a fighter who works diligently to defend her people -- as one who descended from a line that bore a minor Brand of Thaliann, she would use her power to the best of her ability. She often does mercenary work and odd jobs as a member of a mercenary guild. Helping out others within the area was her specialty. 

“Always hard at work, aren't you, Aria?” A fellow mercenary would jab at her. “Come on, you gotta take a break sometimes.”

“I'm quite alright, Ran. I know my limits, and I haven't quite exhausted myself yet,” she would reassure him. 

“H-hey! Don't call me Ran here -- that's embarrassing…” He shifted his gaze away quickly.

“Hee hee! Sorry, I can't help it,” she smiled at him.

“Do you really think of me as a mere boy still?” He retorted.

“Hm, if you wish for me to call you Neiran more, that's fine by me!”

Aria and Neiran were close-knit allies and friends, and often worked together -- although Aria had much more energy and passion to extend to her work. Neiran always worried over her because of this, wishing she wouldn't overexert herself so much. Of course, helping people was good and all, but there's only so much one person can take on, isn't there?

Around the area, Aria was known for her kindness, her hardworking nature, and her efforts to help others. Always there and ever reliable, one could count on Aria for the more difficult tasks and jobs. But of course, she simply felt it was right to do, and when set to certain tasks and work, she would be able to devote all her focus into it, and it gladdened her to be able to do so all for sake of doing things.

One night, when Aria was returning from a commission, she heard a singing voice in the town. It was extremely late, and almost no one should've been up. She went to go investigate the voice.

“Bring me back to the waters that I came from, bring me back to the shadows of my birth…”

At the lake nearby, Aria noticed a woman standing there, clad in a bard’s outfit. But unlike most bards, her song was that of melancholy… and upon further listening, grief. It pulled at Aria’s heart, and she was entranced by the way the bard’s masterful and emotive voice projected over the calm waters and the moon’s reflection.

Partway through the song, the woman turned around and took notice of Aria. The latter was shocked, and in a small panic, tried to compose herself. 

“U-uh-- I'm sorry ma’am-- I didn't mean to intrude--”

“You bear the Brand of Thaliann,” she said softly. Her gaze was not one of offense, but one of curiosity and intrigue. “And your heart is more distinct. Pray tell me, what is your name, young lady?”

Aria stood there, stunned, wondering how in the world this mysterious bard easily picked up on her Brand’s nature -- and what exactly did she mean by a “distinct heart?”

“My name is Aria. And yours?”

“Aria… Ehehe. Call me Cordelia.” She walked towards Aria and extended her hand. “Come now, with me.”

“Where to? We have only just met.”

“Ah, skepticism. That is a good trait indeed, Aria.” Cordelia closed her own hand and held it to her heart. “Perhaps we should speak a bit more, get more acquainted?”

By the gods, this lady is a bit weird, Aria thought. “Just who are you, anyways? What do you do?”

“Isn't it obvious? I'm just a simple bard who travels around…”

Aria eyed her with suspicion.

“...Of course, is what I tell most people. I've seen many things -- far more things than you.”

“And how come?”

“I am not mortal. I don't tell just anyone this, but you… You bear my Brand, and your resolve is strong.”

Huh?!

“So you… You…?!” Aria stepped back in disbelief.

“Yes. I am the goddess Thaliann herself.” 

“Oh…! I… I don't know what to say… Thank you for your continued blessings and efforts to protect us, O Thaliann!” Aria knelt down.

“Please stand. Simply call me Cordelia. I walk among humans to share in their lives, because I want to. That is all.”

“A… Alright then. Cordelia.” Aria stood up. “Now then… What did you mean by… My heart and resolve? What did you want from me?” 

“Come with me.” 

Cordelia led the way through the fields, into the wilderness areas of Aurius. In the dark of night, it would be a bit unsettling, but Cordelia’s calm, refined demeanor put Aria at ease. 

Eventually, they would make their way to what seemed to be a dead end in a forest. Aria looked around, looking for where they were supposed to go. Then, Cordelia recited an incantation, a magical glow radiating from her, as the stone in front of them began to respond to her magic and glowed in a mysterious pattern that Aria had never seen before. The stone gave way to a staircase, and Cordelia continued forth. Aria followed behind, and the stone shut behind them as they continued.

As they made their way down, Cordelia began to speak. 

“I've been waiting for one such as you. I was thinking, maybe I should take someone under my wing to carry on my work with me. But that is not a burden I would share with just anyone -- I needed someone of strong heart and resolve.”

“There you go again. What does that mean?”

“Mmm... I simply believe you are strong enough to be able to carry this power I would grant unto you.”

“P… Power?” 

“Indeed. Ah, we've reached the bottom of the staircase!”

It was a room, with a bed, a desk, several bookshelves -- but the most striking thing was a glowing lance at the center of the room. 

“I wielded this lance years ago in the War of Origin… And I would now give it to you, Aria.” Cordelia turned around to look at Aria, who was behind her.

“Me? Really? I… I don't know what to say…” Aria stared at the lance. It glowed so radiantly… “Can I truly wield a lance that a goddess wielded?”

“If I say so, then yes.” Cordelia gave a reassuring smile. “Come on! Give it a go.” 

Aria walked towards the lance, and grabbed it in one hand. A burst of energy radiated from the contact -- it was as if the lance was reaching into her heart. It was an inexplicable sensation -- one that could not ever be described as it plunged Aria into its light. 

“So? How do you like it, Aria? Does it suit your wield?”

Aria gazed off into space as the energy from the lance continued to resonate with her soul. 

I was only working constantly to distract myself, wasn't I? How did I really feel about everything, deep down? I never really confronted those feelings, and yet it feels like this light is fighting an unknown darkness within me. Feelings I didn't know I had… But I think… If I'm to take up this duty, and this light…

Maybe I'll be okay. No matter what the darkness… Even if it's within myself… I will fight for this light. 

“Cordelia…”

“Mmm?”

“I… Thank you. I'll do my best with this lance. I promise.” Aria gripped the lance a bit more tightly, now that the light energy reaction had cooled down a bit. 

“To help others; to illuminate their path is to likewise illuminate your own heart. That is what I believe. As long as I know there is more good in the world… I can feel at ease. And I hope you can feel that way, too. Now, go forth. Let's see this world together.” 

And so, shortly after Aria left a note at home announcing she would be embarking on an expedition, she and Cordelia would travel the world together. 

Unknown to Aria, Cordelia had chosen a successor to her lance because she had heard from a prophecy that there would soon be a calamity upon the land, and she had hoped by taking in Aria, there could be someone of such strength to fight against that calamity. A prophecy she had heard from the Oracle of Lunaer, Diora, that is. However, the calamity that was yet to unfold would be one neither of them could've ever expected.

Shougakukan's Monthly Flowers magazine’s twitter has posted this new illustration of Byakko Hen on July 27th.

This beautiful monochrome image done by Watase shows us Suzuno Osugi, along with her father, Takao Osugi, the Celestial warrior Tatara and a girl who is presumably Neiran, who was first introduced in the Byakko Ibun oneshot.

Byakko Hen is scheduled for August 28th! Who’s ready for another adventure in the world of the Universe of the Four Gods?

[tethys-the-aquatic-sea-godness]

Well, you got to admit Kaliyo, no one took you on a date like that before

[fortheloveofsims]

[suirenshinju]

Watase teased enough with that one shot the other year. Glad to see the series’ universe will finally come full circle.

[lady-of-the-spirit]

I've just read chapter 5 of Byakko Senki, and I have some things to say about the series so far:

First, I think it's funny how Suzuno was originally the youngest of the four Priestesses to enter the book (at 8 years old) but will be the oldest of the Priestesses to act as the Priestess (at 18 years old).

I like how Watase is showing us the world in which Suzuno lives. All of the talk of the war, especially from Seiji, as a casual, matter of fact thing that is going to happen allows the reader to easily slip into the state of mind of those times.

Related to above, the fact that Suzuno is living during the time of the war will likely somehow factor into how she deals with being the Priestess and whatever disaster is going to befall Sairou (perhaps an internal war, since I think it's hinted that whatever religious order is in Sairou isn't to be trusted), and I can't wait to see how she reacts to it - she already seems to be against war, or against having those she loves risking their lives in war. Especially when it's in her name, as we see with Seiji. How will she react to her warriors risking their lives for her? How will she view the threat to the empire?

How likely is it that Dr Oikawa and Seiji are going to, together, be reading about Suzuno's experiences in the Book? Dr Oikawa will have to read as his adopted daughter goes through what the love of his life went through, and this time he will have to be there and read as it happens - including her eventual sacrifice. This poor man! And Seiji? He will have to read as the girl he loves and is engaged to, puts her life at risk for "her country" (if Suzuno finds a home in Sairou as Takiko did in Hokkan), which he cannot do himself since he's been injured. All he wants is to protect her and his country, but she's gone somewhere beyond his reach and is protecting her own country. Not only that, he'll have to read as she falls in love with Tatara, someone whose destiny is to protect her. We can assume that he still loves and marries her after she leaves the book, and I can't wait to see how Watase writes their relationship in the future, but this poor boy is going to be put through a lot.

Watase is doing something different with Suzuno and her relationships in the real world. She isn't like Miaka, who was running away from her life and didn't seem to have a lot of close relationships outside of Yui and maybe her brother, or Takiko, who wanted a place where she would be needed and had lost a lot of people she cared about in some way. Suzuno has a loving family, even a fiance. She has people to return to. She has people who love her and she loves them in return. She has more ties to the real world than either Takiko or Miaka seemed to have. How will this affect her relationships in the book? How will this affect her relationship with Tatara? Having a fiance will most likely create some tension (I'm secretly hoping for a slow burn romance with these two - Miaka and Tamahome and Takiko and Uruki moved pretty fast) and having a loving home life will create angst of a different kind. Knowing she has people waiting for her back home will make her eventual decision to become the Priestess and be devoured heartbreaking.

But I'm hoping it will be good. I'm hoping Suzuno will see whatever suffering the people of Sairou are going through and realize that she has to step up and be ready to die for them. I'm hoping she'll think of her family and apologize to them for what she has to do, but know that this - giving her life for Sairou - is what she was brought to the book to do and she has to do it.

What makes Suzuno's story so interesting so far is the knowledge that Suzuno has knowledge the other Priestesses didn't. She knows from the start more than any of the others did. She knows about the legend, she knows about the warriors, she knows about how she's going to be a sacrifice. What Suzuno doesn't know is that she doesn't get devoured by Byakko. We, the readers, are the only ones who know this. What makes this so great is that it means that Suzuno will make the decision to become the Priestess knowing she will die from the very beginning. She has the time to absorb the knowledge of her eventual sacrifice that none of the other girls did (all of them found out towards the end of their series). She has time to think about it, she has time to make a choice, and she makes her choice - she chooses to become a sacrifice and put her life in danger to save the people, because that is why she came into the book in the first place.

On a far less serious note, I'm still trying to figure out who Tatara will end up being. All signs are pointing to Karasu (the Wiki has decided this for itself, despite any canon information). The fact that very little time seems to have passed between Suzuno leaving the Book for the first time and her return is evidence - she couldn't fall for Karumu, since he would still be a child. Watase also likes following the trope of "First Guy Wins", meaning that whoever the priestess first meets is who her love interest will be - technically she did see Karasu first. Yet Watase also likes surprising us, so I'm keeping from making any concrete conclusions until later. There's also the fact that the art she's made of Tatara in the past don't completely look like Kasaru, and I don't think it's just a development in her drawing ability.

This is all speculation, of course, based on only five chapters of information. Watase has a habit of doing both what is most expected and least expected at the same time. I'm hoping at least some of my thoughts come true. I want to see how Watase has grown as an author for the Fushigi Yuugi series since finishing Genbu Kaiden. I'm hoping this series will be everything I want it to be.

IT’S MAH BOI - NEIRAN!

Ambientación

Buenas gente !

Disculpen la tardanza en todo x.x Como dije, somos pocos y estamos haciendo lo posible para sacar el proyecto adelante. Ya tenemos todo listo, faltan pequeños detalles a revisar pero en nada, estaremos abriendo nuestras puertas <3

Queremos agradecer el apoyo e interés de quienes se acercan a nosotros.

También queremos ya publicar luego de tanto tiempo la ambientación y recordarles que hoy es el último día para hacer las reservas pb

Ambientación:

Es el año 2052, un mundo donde la tecnología a avanzado a pasos agigantados con respecto a la medicina, siendo capaz de curar heridas mortales o enfermedades de la misma índole, sin embargo, con respecto a lo que es armamento, aún no se han hecho grandes avances ya que el mayor foco lo pusieron en crear supersoldados. Lograron primeramente hacerlo con humanos, con poderes más que nada físicos pero con el tiempo, y el descubrimiento de nuevas razas, nuevos poderes fueron surgiendo y nuevos seres también, sin embargo, este fue exitoso sólo en mujeres, dejando a los hombres atrás, incluso a los de razas distintivas.

La idea de hacer nuevas armas se descartó por completo y continuaron progresando en el desarrollo de los poderes, pero pronto empezaron los cuestionamientos sobre los fines de estas mujeres poderosas ante aquellos que las controlaban. Estas preguntas crearon y sembraron caos, resquebrajando y finalmente partiendo gran parte de estos seres en 2, aquellos que querían el caos y la libertad extrema, mientras que estaban aquellas que aún mantenían la paz por el bien común.

Tras años de guerra y de distintivos personajes, la paz prospera en Neidan ante el tratado hace 2 años y medio, dividiendo el territorio en las tres facciones que día a día, si bien están tensas las cosas entre dos de ellas, una se mantiene firme y fiel a no meterse en los problemas del otro.

Por un lado, Eleanor, territorio de las heroínas, gobernado democráticamente donde el crimen prácticamente no existe. Neiran, capital de Neidan, donde viven las neutrales, aquellas que no se meten en los asuntos de nadie y sólo quieren vivir de forma tranquila, con muchos más ideales que encasillarse en una sola cosa como lo harían las villanas o heroínas, un lugar más cercano a la vida cotidiana y que también es gobernada democráticamente por Jake. Y finalmente Gyorutin, el territorio donde el caos reina y donde nadie se atreve a discutir las reglas impuestas por las Ljubica, quien gobierna por la fuerza, reprimiendo a toda aquella que piense distinto y siendo prisionera de su propia locura.

¿Quieres formar parte de la justicia o sembrar el caos? Tal vez tu postura sea un camino más central y puedas vivir de manera tranquila, el camino lo haces tú. ¡Ven y enséñanos de que estás hecha!

Jake

FALLEN - story

Watch the story MV! (coming soon)

The wretched dragon, Neiran, cast a curse upon Althea and Kyria Elysien.

How will they survive?

Envious of Lyraea’s power, a dragon by the name of Neiran cursed the royal heirs, Althea and Kyria Elysien, and forced upon them the Brand of Neiran -- a Brand that would transfer the consciousness of the dragon to the wielder, and as such take over its body. He believed that if he could merge his power with the Elysien royal bloodline, which descended from the Orithiya bloodline -- he could use the Brand of Luxana to become more powerful. Suffering from the risk of being taken over, Althea and Kyria were afraid of the Brand of Neiran they wielded. Wanting to put and end to this suffering, they embarked on a quest to slay the dragon Neiran. Using their power as those branded by Luxana, they were able to defeat the dragon. They became heroes and were commended for their bravery. In legend, they were considered to be reincarnations of the original founders of Lyraea -- Adonis and Cerio Orithiya. 

Despite this, the damage had been done, and a weaker version of the Brand of Neiran continued to pass down through the family, granting the user enhanced physical strength. It was to be believed by the general public that Neiran was fully dead, so generations and generations of royalty would come to pass, bearing the burden and secret of this wretched curse in their bloodline.

additional notes:
