Another Dark Mai/Biography

Another Dark Mai came into existence when a Possibility of Mai Natsume had a Calamity Factor put into her existence. Becoming a new being with a lust for battle and destruction, Another Dark Mai fell into the service of a certain someone and has begun to monitor Phantom Fields on their behalf.
==Alternative: Dark War==
When investigating one particular Phantom Field, Mai came into contact with Ciel Sulfur and the two fought against each other. Ciel called her a puppet, but Mai was not phased. The two continued fighting until they were interrupted by Rei. Mai moved in to swiftly kill them, but Phenomenon Intervention occurred and Mai's blow missed. Confused and knowing that there was an Observer in the midst, Mai's attention was turned away from both Ciel and Rei. In that period, the two of them escaped.BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War, Prologue, 3 - 1
Another Dark Mai eventually caught up to Ciel and Rei, who alongside them included Kazuma Kval and Raabe. Ciel asked her if she was their enemy, but Mai did not take well to this, instead preferring that they call her a "villain". She taunted the group, saying that she was going to enjoy stabbing Rei repeatedly. Rei was beginning to Observe her, but Ciel stopped this from happening. As Mai launched more threats of killing the group, Raabe used Phenomenon Intervention to teleport the group to the other side of the island. This disheartened Mai, but it allowed to her to check out more of the island and continue with her objective.BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War, Prologue, 1
At some point, Dark Mai found Trinity Glassfille, the Observer of the Phantom Field, near her own workshop. Without hesitation, Dark Mai killed her, thrusting her spear through her chest. Due to the rules of the Phantom Field, this was undone and Trinity was resurrected with no recollection of her death. As an outsider to the field, Mai remembered the event. She then made her way through Ishana, down to its cauldron to lay in wait for her enemies. Finally, Ciel, Rei, Trinity, Raabe, and Kazuma arrived. Dark Mai taunted them and mocked Trinity's ability as an Observer since the cauldron was inferior to an actual one. When Ciel asked why Mai was in the Field, the response Dark Mai gave was that she was there to monitor information, but had stayed out of interest in both Rei and Ciel. 
Another Dark Mai challenged them battle to sate her curiosity and to gauge their collective strength. As the battle ended, Dark Mai left by jumping through the cauldron, returning back to whence she came and exiting the Field.BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War, Prologue, 7 - 2

Anti-Demon Beast Grimoire

The Anti-Demon Beast Grimoire is a grimoire that was created by the Novus Orbis Librarium and is in the traditional shape of a book, usually being stored on a bookshelf.
Properties of this grimoire are unknown. One was used by an NOL soldier in an attempt to kill Jubei on a train cart destined towards the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. Using the Nox Nyctores - Mucro Somnio: Musashi, Jubei cut the grimoire's Ars Magus in two, but this made the book itself go out of control and a huge explosion was created that derailed the train. BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 04
Given its name, it is possible that this grimoire is used to specifically target beastkin or seithr-mutated animals.

Apocalypse

Apocalypse is a stage introduced as DLC in BlazBlue: Central Fiction. It is the stage of Es.
==Information==
Apocalypse is set in the ruins of an unknown Hierarchical City and is presumably set in a possibility that has not occurred. The main part of the stage is on top of a toppled Novus Orbis Librarium building which has been badly damaged. Ripped red NOL banners are draped from across the higher part of the building and above that is a large derelict clock that uses Roman numerals, similar to the one in the Kagutsuchi Port.
Multiple buildings are also destroyed, set behind the main stage. Each one seemingly made of stone and having ornate engravings, although many of these patterns have been destroyed. Fires still rage in the stage and smoke has blackened the sky. In the background, the source behind the destruction can be seen - a Black Beast.

==Trivia==
*Apocalypse is one of six stages that do not appear in the main BlazBlue story. The others are: Circus, Duel Field, Hidden Field, Sacrifice, and Skyship.
*Unlike every other stage, Apocalypse is not canon to the main BlazBlue continuity. At no point in the current continuity has a developed Black Beast existed at the same time as the Novus Orbis Librarium, let alone destroyed one of its cities.

Apostles

The Apostles are a group of men made the indoctrinated slaves of Spinner Superior. There can only be 15 at any given time, and were created for the purpose of gathering strong souls that could be used in the creation of a bug that could fuse himself and another.
==Information==
When Spinner arrived in Shin Kawahama City, he had the objective of finding enough strong souls to create a unique bug that would allow for the fusion of himself and Raquel Alucard. He created several insects that would attach themselves to various men around the city, with each person becoming a corrupted version of themselves and having a drastically lowered life-force value. The insect itself that infects an Apostle is around the size of a human head.
When a male is in the process of becoming an Apostle, their personality becomes more agitated, aggressive, and primal. They will occasionally emit insect-like noises and their life-force value will drastically drop, reaching as low as the thousands. As time progresses, they will eventually stop being reasonable and their values will drop to 0 - the same as the deceased.
When an Apostle reaches the final phase, they are deadly. They will pursue their targets with reckless abandon and will forget who they are. Their human body will sprout numerous beetle legs and claws, becoming more like an insect than a man. Even if an Apostle is killed, it means nothing - the insect from within will emerge to continue its job, and their sharp claws can easily cut off a person's arm.
The first known Apostle chased Raquel throughout Shin Kawahama before being killed by Naoto Kurogane. The insect from within, however, took his arm before it died.BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 1, Chapter 1 - Contact The second was Tadayuki Isa, one of Naoto's teachers. This Apostle is the only one who has been saved from the condition thanks to a life saving operation by the Mitsurugi Agency.BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 1, Chapter 6 - Interlude The last known Apostle was killed by Naoto when he was training for taking on Spinner, and he effortlessly defeated it with a single blow to the head.BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 1, Chapter 8 - Speculation The rest of the Apostles were being hunted down, with Relius Clover hinting that it was Kiiro Hikagami who was eliminating them all.BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 2, Chapter 10 - Encounter If there any remaining Apostles, it is unknown what has happened to them as of Spinner's death.

AppBank 2017 Year-End Creator Survey Vol. 2

This Japanese-language interview was conducted by AppBank at the end of 2017 as part of a larger survey, split across three volumes and sorted alphabetically by company name, of prominent producers and directors of games. Each creator was asked a series of short questions to provide a retrospective on 2017, as well as about their resolutions for 2018.
===Arc System Works: Mori Toshimichi (Director/BlazBlue Series Producer)===
[Director] BlazBlue series
I started FGO just this year, but it's probably FGO in the end. Many different people like Fate, and a long time ago I thought I would try it, but recently I've started to become addicted to it. After that, there's SINoALICE, the reason for which I've written below. I'm also interested in the animation style of Destiny Child.
That would be NieR:Automata. From the beginning I've liked Yoko Taro's worldview. Also, I thought that Platinum Games' action and Yoshida Akihiko's design made for very strong content.
Disney's acquisition of 21 Century Fox. It was news that opened up the hope of expansion to a Marvel lover.
For now, it would be to continue production of BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War. I feel like in just a bit all sorts of information will be released, so please wait just a bit longer.
===Arc System Works: Masaomi Kikuchi (BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War Director)===
[Director] BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War, Beans 1980
The Trail. It's completely made in 3D, but the presentation is entrancing. The game design itself might not be anything special, but I never get tired of looking at the background. It's a good feeling when I remember the excitement of being able to climb over whatever mountain you see in the distance in this kind of open world game.
Rez Infinite. It used to be a PS2 game, but it feels like Sega decided, despite its old age, to exhibit it and turned it into a VR title.
MUTEK.JP 2017 and Team Lab Jungle (Art Night) (チームラボジャングル（Art Night）). I've presented them together because there's a common thread. They embodied a way of changing the traditional method of just looking at the content on the screen in front of you. They were events that resulted from much trial and error on how to involve the audience in the media with the current technology. Speaking of which, "VR" can be said to be a "plane" rather than a "point" of production. It feels like the age of being able to "hack" the brain has begun to emerge.
That would be ASW's title in development, BBDW (BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War). We are working hard so that everyone will be able to play it soon! Thank you all in advance.

Aramasa

Aramasa (荒正アラマサ), known also as the Blood Scythe, is a large sword that was wielded by Ragna the Bloodedge. Its current location is unknown.
==Information==
The point of origin for Aramasa is unknown. It was kept in Celica A. Mercury's Church‎ for decades, eventually being gifted to Ragna once he had completed his training with Jubei. The blade is unique in that it is both a sword and a scythe, having a mechanism that allows it to swap between forms. The blade of the weapon is made out of metal and ceramic. BlazBlue Official Cosplay Information It has a large handle with a shaped pommel. Ragna used Aramasa in a reverse grip while fighting, and was noted to be very offensively oriented in battle. BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Library Mode, Character #01
The weapon is currently missing, having been used for a makeshift grave for Ragna, but disappearing after Rachel Alucard and Izayoi visited it. BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 100

Area.28

Area 28 is the twenty-eighth area of the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. This area is part of the sewers of Kagutsuchi, and has become the lair of Arakune as he hides from society and hunts the Kaka. 
==Information==
Hidden in the depths of Kagutsuchi, this area is not normally accessed by the public since it is part of its sewer. After escaping from Sector Seven, Arakune made this place his home. The sewers connect to Lost Town, the home of the Kaka, and the Novus Orbis Librarium branch in Kagutsuchi. Ragna the Bloodedge was forced to go through Area 28 in order to evade the NOL and battled Arakune here. He was nearly successful, but the creature was saved by Litchi Faye-Ling.BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 2 - Cross Fate
This location was remade within the Embryo. Noel Vermillion accidentally entered this area and was attacked by Arakune until she was saved by Ragna.BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 020 Litchi attempted to find Arakune here, but the monster did not assault her out of fear of her power that she streamed from the Boundary through Lao Jiu. BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 025, Sub Scenario 1
The sewers are in a desperate and disgusting state. The first part of Area 28 is illuminated by an azure light from below the floor, which is stained with an unknown substance. Columns, railings and sewer pipes are destroyed across the area, giving the impression that the area is dire need of repairs. Behind a broken pillar is a large spherical mass of flesh that pulsates throughout a match. The second part of this area bathes in an orange glow that emits from a group of vines attached to another spherical mass of flesh. The dirty area around here is littered with rusting pipes and metalwork. Grated walkways and destroyed columns litter this area, while the surviving sewer pipes have unknown organisms stuck to their exterior.
Within this area, various large insects and crab-like creatures roam freely.

Ars Armegis

Ars Armegis (術式兵装 Jutsushiki Heisou lit. "Ars Magus Armament"), commonly abbreviated to Armegis and sometimes spelled Ars Armagus, is an advanced and weaponized form of Ars Magus.
==Information==
Created during the Dark War to combat the Black Beast within close proximity. After the war had ended, the Novus Orbis Librarium took to creating more Armagus as time went on. Like Ars Magus, they use a Grimoire and consume seithr to activate. It is important to note that not all Armegis was created during the Dark War. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Story Mode, Iron Tager - Loyalty
Like their successor, the Nox Nyctores class weapons, Armagus are deadly to handle, having significant side-effects for their wielders. The most famous amongst these weapons is the Sealed Weapon Izayoi, which was created as an anti-Observer armament, but had the side-effect of stealing the wielder's light, effectively making them blind after prolonged use; in some extreme cases, Armagus can kill those who wield it.
==Official Descriptions==

Weapons developed utilizing Grimoires during the war against the 'Black Beast.' Unlike modern weapons, they use Seithr to function. This also includes armaments worn on the body, such as the 'Sealed Weapon Izayoi.'BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Library Mode, Weapon #023

Ars Magus

Ars Magus (術式 Jutsushiki) is a system of power created through the combination of magic and science. It was first developed by Nine the Phantom during the Dark War. Its more advanced form is called Ars Armegis, and its strongest form are the illusive Nox Nyctores.
==Information==
At some point in her life, Nine had begun researching how to combine the properties of science and magic to create a new form of energy, but she never completed her research. Soon after, the Dark War arrived, bringing the Black Beast, a being incapable of even being scratched by anything within Logic. Humanity was largely unable to learn magic, which forced Nine to resume her research in a one year span that was created by Ragna the Bloodedge. With the forced assistance of Yuuki Terumi, Nine not only managed to create Ars Magus, but had also made it combat ready - as it was made with magic and uses seithr to function, Ars exists outside of Logic and could damage the Black Beast as a result. With Ars Magus, humanity, led by the Six Heroes defeated the Black Beast. Kokonoe noted that creating Ars Magus in such a short time and then putting it on the battlefield should have been impossible. BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 082
Ars Magus cannot be used by everyone, which has led to a widening socio-economic gap in society between those who can and cannot use it. In order for an Ars to function, it requires a Grimoire, which are regulated, stored, created, and controlled by the Novus Orbis Librarium. Nearly 100 years after the Dark War, Ars Magus is a cornerstone of society, fuelling transportation, power, climate regulators, etc.
Since seithr is required to activate Ars Magus, if there is not enough in any given area, then it will not activate. Some people are more naturally adept at using Ars than others. For example, if one person activates a healing Ars and consumes 20 units of seithr, and someone else does the exact same thing but only consumes 10 units, then the latter person has more aptitude.
==Official Descriptions==
===BlazBlue: Central Fiction Library Entry===
;Ars Magus
A new power created by fusing the ancient power of magic with science. It was developed by the Great Magister Nine.
Armed with the power of 'Ars Magus', humanity was able to join the Six Heroes in a counterattack against the 'Black Beast.' BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Library Mode, Weapon #022

Art

Art (技術 gijutsu) is the umbrella term for all abilities that either use seithr or mana, which is the energy of nature.
==Information==
It is unknown when Arts were first developed, but they are known to have existed prior to the Age of Origin. Over time, Arts have been created and developed, with three of them having been taught at the Magister's City of Ishana, and the other three of them having been created by Nine the Phantom. The ability to use certain Arts is genetic, something which is predominately seen with both sorcery and Ars Magus.
Vision is an ability that can copy certain Arts upon seeing them for the first time, but it cannot copy sorcery.BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 15

Artificial Causality Phenomenon Weapon

Artificial Causality Phenomenon Weapons (模倣事象兵器もほうじしょうへいき) are a series of weapons made through science that were designed by Kokonoe to match the combat capabilities of the Nox Nyctores. The successor to these artificial weapons is the Idea Engine.
==Information==
During the Ikaruga Civil War, Kokonoe needed a power source to fuel Iron Tager, but had little options. She deployed Kajun Faycott to the 15th Hierarchical City of Torifune to find the Burning Red Grimoire, which could be used as a source, but the mission was unsuccessful.BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 25 Forced to find an alternative, Kokonoe used data leftover from the Deus Machina: Nirvana, a Nox which Sector Seven had recently acquired through the Phenomena Weapon Dispossession Operation. With this data, Kokonoe was able to create the first Artificial Causality Phenomenon Weapon, which was outfitted on Tager. Nirvana was later lost after Relius Clover had orchestrated a Novus Orbis Librarium attack on the Sector Seven facility housing Nirvana.BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, Story Mode, that which is inherited
Years after the first weapon was created, Kokonoe began creating the Idea Engine, its successor. While Nox Nyctores are stronger than any Artificial Causality Phenomenon Weapon, the latter are more stable and have no impact on the user's mentality. As well as this, it avoids the heavy ethical problems that are caused by Noxs, which are fuelled by souls. With enough output, someone with this weapon can create an Eclipse Field or even use mechanical teleportation, but additional equipment is required.
Arakune was later outfitted with an Artificial Causality Phenomenon Weapon by Relius to amplify the creature's power.BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 2: Unwavering Feelings Relius later based the Detonator line of weapons off the artificial weapons created by Kokonoe, adding his own modifications that allowed them to fight evenly against Noxs.
