Reformed PvP (New Age)

== Overview ==
[Codenames: RF Secret, RF; New Age, RF turtle, RF; vPv, RF Resurrection]
Reformed PvP ; New Age is the eleventh Reformed. This was one back on Bedrock edition, and initially did not release. However...
On the 22nd of December, 2023, Reformed PvP ; New Age released to the public! This marked the beginning of a new era of Reformed, trying to push the boundaries of what a Reformed can be, and trying to innovate on the Bedrock Kit PvP Realm genre as a whole.
A new Reformed hadn't released in over two years by this point, and a lot had happened in that time. Everyone...grew up. New Age began development in the middle of 2022, with Tyler at the helm. Turtle joined immediately, excited for this new project, yet a little sad that Collision wouldn't end up happening. Tyler brought on Drew to help out in the early stages of the realm. It would have been the first time they had been part of a project like this. Heck, even Ender joined in. A lot of work was done, and the realm was practically finished in just a few months, however it wasn't long before the project faded, and everyone moved on to other things. The Reformed empire had been passed on to Turtle in April of 2023, which is around the time interest in creating this realm had returned. This time, Turtle would be leading the project, with Kirian by their side. Turtle had a vision for this realm, and despite it being pretty much complete, there was still a long way to go before it was truly ready. Work was done in April, before dying down again and picking back up later in the year, which is when a lot of things about the realm were decided on, such as the story and update cycle model. At last, it was ready. With Kirian giving the Discord a bit of an extra polish, the realm was ready to go at last.
At the time of release, the Skygen genre was still ongoing in popularity. It had exploded out of nowhere earlier in the year, and countless realms of this genre were created. Whilst a Reformed Skygen was briefly thought about, it ended up not going beyond those first couple of thoughts. There are far too many Skygens, and it'd be easy to innovate on the admittedly basic genre to stand out, but it just wasn't worth entering the ring at that time. At the same time, at release, there seemed to be somewhat of a lack in PvP realms on Bedrock, at least from a brief look around. Hopefully, New Age will be able to fill that gap, surprising and delighting people who join it whether it's their first Reformed PvP or their fourth, shattering their vision on what a Bedrock realm can be. (I'll admit, I'm definitely overselling it, and I do not truly think it is a life-changing experience. I'm just extremely happy with how the realm turned out, and I'm beyond excited for the future of the realm.)
New Age takes on an update cycle that hasn't been explored in a Bedrock realm before, following a model similar to a HoYoverse game. Each Season is split into multiple versions, with each version bringing a variety of content such as story content, new maps, new features, new kits, new events, and basically anything else! Of course, content can release during a version, but most major content will release when the version is released. When a new season is released, the version number will reset to X.0, with X being an increase in the number that it was before. A version can last an indefinite amount of time, but generally the maximum time between updates will be four weeks.
By March, Turtle and Kirian grew tired of working on the realm, with Turtle growing tired of the game as a whole by the middle of February. The Realm was left during Version 1.2, but at some point in the future may return starting at Version 1.3 and continuing from there.
On the 18th of July, it was noticed that the realm had been open since at least the 4th. It had 14 days remaining. How it was even open is a mystery. Turtle wasn't charged for the subscription, nor was it mentioned on Microsoft's website. However, Turtle couldn't complain about this!

=== Season 1 ===
==== Main Story: As Opposing Lands are Conjoined into One ====
Act I:
Two lands, the Overworld and Nether, were suddenly connected. The people panicked, instantly choosing a side to fight for.
==== Side Story A: The one who came from beyond our world ====
Act I:
A man named Strovit awakens in a green field, unsure of who he was or where he came from. All he had was his name, and a faint memory of someone named Pandor. It didn't take long for Strovit to take up the hobby of tinkering, creating random items out of things he found in the wild. He soon set up a shop where Players could purchase his wares. He isn't around often, leaving some people a little suspicious. He says he is out creating new wares for the shop, but where exactly is all that money going...?
Act II:
Strovit left open a secret door within his shop, leading to a dark, mysterious room in a cavern. It seems like some type of energy is being created, but what is the source of it, and what is it for...? His little diary is all the information we have to go on at this time. It seems like X may slowly be learning some of these details directly from Strovit as they entered their deal together.
==== Side Story X: As the Phoenix returns to the Ashes ====
Act I:
Agent X is warped into this new realm, still connected to the curse that began when she first arrived in Reformed PvP four years prior. She wakes up in the PvP, at the exact moment when the fusion of the Overworld and Nether occurs. Running past the players, avoiding losing her life, she made it to the jungle where she could relax for a while... After some time, she began to explore the realm, coming across a Desert Pyramid with a secret temple hidden below. She was shocked to see that the Phoenix Organisation's logo was plastered all around this temple, and made it her goal to explore and find the truth. Making it to the end of the challenging jumps, she discovered a room. A Phoenix base. There was a computer here, but it wasn't working properly. She spent some time trying to fix it, but nothing worked. Eventually, she just returned to the jungle...
One day, whilst sitting at the lake, a man tapped her on the shoulder. Strovit. X was relieved to finally know of another non-Player entity, and the two quickly became acquainted. After discussing the current state of their lives, Strovit asked if he could help with the broken computer. X was reluctant, not wanting anyone else to have to go through that temple, but she had no other choice. The two worked together to get through all the rooms, and upon entering the Phoenix base, Strovit was stunned. He had never seen a place like it. Instantly getting to work on the computer, X sat down and wrote in her diary. After some time, Strovit had somehow done it. The computer was working again! X thanked Strovit, and Strovit returned to the jungle. X, however, immediately got to work before hitting another wall. A password. It took her a while to find it, but she found a book with login details. "For Lila" it was called. Opening the book, X realised that the person who once lived in this base was none other than Lila Octrin, a girl that X used to babysit many years ago. It was now up to X to decrypt the files, to find the truth of what happened in this place...
Act II:
X continues learning more about the Fate of Lila Octrin. When she isn't decrypting files, she's busy uncovering more information about the history and layout of the ship. A floor below hides some kind of factory focused on producing gear. It seems like this gear had a purpose, but it went unfinished. She partners with Strovit to mass produce this armour. Strovit gets the benefit of some of the money, and X gets the benefit of completing work from an unknown age. Prototype Phoenix Gear and Modified Prototype Phoenix Gear was released to the Players. Perfecting this armour may be important for her survival in this realm.
