FIVB Volleyball World Cup

The **FIVB Volleyball World Cup** is an international volleyball competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of *Fédération Internationale de Volleyball* (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. Initially the tournament was played in the year following the Olympic Games, except for 1973 when no tournament was held, but since 1991 the World Cup has been awarded in the year preceding the Olympic Games. The current champion is France, which won its first title at the 2023 tournament.

## Competition Formula

The World Cup is the most stable from all competition formulas employed by the FIVB. The following rules apply:

* The competition takes place in Japan.
* Twelve teams participate in each event: ten qualified, two per invitation.
	+ Japan are always pre-qualified as host nation.
	+ The winners of the FIVB World Championship in the previous year are automatically granted a spot.
	+ The champion and runner-up of each continental tournament of that year are granted two spots.
	+ Since the 1999 edition, only teams not yet qualified for the following Olympic Games can compete in the World Cup; hence hosts of the following year's Olympic Games are not allowed to compete. There will be an exception for the 2019 World Cup, as the tournament will be hosted by Japan and the country will host the 2020 Summer Olympics.
* The competition is divided in exactly two phases (called "legs").
	+ Teams are divided in two pools.
		- At the first leg, each team plays one match against all other teams in its pool.
	+ At the second leg, each team plays one match against all the teams in the other pool.
	+ Matches take place continuously through two weeks, with one-day breaks every two or three days. Each day, six matches are played.
	+ Final standings are calculated by usual volleyball criteria: match points, numbers of matches won, sets ratio (the total number of sets won divided by the total number of sets lost), points ratio, direct confrontation.
* Top two teams in overall standings, regardless of pools, qualify for the following Olympic Games.
* The tournament implements very tight line-up restrictions: only twelve players are allowed, and no replacement is permitted, even in the case of injuries
Shinoa Ichinose

**"Insignificant being be gone!"**

**Shinoa Ichinose** (Japanese: **一瀬 シノア** *Ichinose Shinoa*) is a 1st-year student from Riverstone Military Academy, serving as one of Squad A`s vice-captains in the International War Games; a series of events hosted by countries from all over the world. A daughter of the famed Ichinose Family, she is the younger sister of Momo Ichinose and was considered the "weaker" of the two sisters, leading to her building up a tough and stoic exterior.

## Appearance

Shinoa is a young teenager girl with long blonde hair tied up in pigtails (her hair appears longer in the manga) and large purple eyes. She is noted to have a curvaceous figure. She wears the standard squad uniform for the academy consisting of a long-sleeved black coat with a standing collar which has a red bow tie around it and has her sleeves rolled up. The coat has two rows of gold buttons on the front, light green details including the shoulder epaulettes which has a Sam Browne belt passing diagonally over her right shoulder. Rather than the standard white gloves, she wears black gloves and a white web belt with a gold waist-plate. She also wears the standard black skirt (with black shorts underneath) and knee-high black boots. She sometimes wears the black cape.

* **Anime**: In the anime, she wears the standard white gloves instead of black

## Personality

Shinoa was first initially shown to be a serious and by-the-book squad member, who dislikes those who break the formation and commit to individual action. Over time in the companionship of Alice, Tempest, Akihito, Marie, and finally Guren, she has become more accepting of other people and is much kinder overall. Shinoa has an inferiority complex towards her older sister, Momo Ichinose, as she feels under-accomplished when compared to her sister and feels that she must uphold her family`s reputation no-matter where she is.

## Powers and Abilities

### Natural Abilities

Like other members of her squad, Shinoa is very strong and due to her axe being the heaviest one in the entire world, she is assumed to be extremely strong, as shown when she split open the ground by simply slamming down her axe`s blade on the ground. She shows exceptional strength and reflexes, easily cutting down her team`s obstacles during the obstacle race for the War Games.

### Equipment

#### Death Hymn

Death Hymn has the appearance of a giant black battle axe with a glowing green blade. It is most effective at mid-to close-range, where her reach is the strongest. Due to her training as a child, Shinoa is extremely adept in wielding her axe, usually wielding it in conjunction with Tempest`s sword.

Yabloko

The **Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko** (Russian: Российская объединенная демократическая партия «Яблоко»") is a Russian social-liberal party of Russia, though unlike the other unregistered parties, it has participated in the elections of deputies within the State Duma of Russia, and was represented until 2007 by individual deputies. It is a minor supporting protagonist within the XNDUIW community in the Russian theater of both the peaceful and military arcs, and it is somewhat inactive in politics within the community too.

The party dates back to the early 1990's, though it was originally a public organization, it was transformed into a true political party in 2001, considering that it had a small faction within the State Duma itself, but one of them joined United Russia, and according to the deputy chairman of the faction, it had 20,000 members by the time of 2002. The party is in opposition of the 2022 Invasion of Ukraine, and is one of the members of the systemic opposition of Russia, though members within it's ranks have been detained by the Russian police for participating in anti-war protests. Over the history of the party, a number of well-known party members were expelled, but subsequently became politicians of their own, including Navalny as an example.

Despite having plenty of members, it has failed to win the majority in the Russian government, though it was confirmed that they are not giving up within the XNDUIW lore, as many officials from Russian origin within XNDUIW have strongly supported the political party, and the faction has been involved in dealing with legal cases involving LGBTQ+ figures, and advocating for human rights within the XNDUIW community too, especially when they proclaimed that elections within Russia were not that fair.

This faction will try to protect people against political repression within XNDUIW, particularly in Russia. However, it's known that they are extremely popular outside of the country, however, it is antagonized and cracked down on by the ruling United Russia party too, especially during tough times within the community.

Yabloko does not make a significant role within XNDUIW, but maintains aid to the Russian Republic within the military arc itself.

For the majority of the series, she is seen wearing a black dress-shirt, a black sweater-vest, a white tie, and a black designer jacket with a single piercing in each of her eyes, with black glasses. When off the job, she dons a white tracksuit.

## Personality

A very grounded person, Celeste possesses a calming personality that proves essential when calming down her husband`s old rivals. As noted by Satori Tendō, she is a quiet and stoic woman, who has passed down much of her personality traits to her daughter. After her daughter was sent to the past, Celeste began grieving and heavily relied on her husband. In the past, Celeste displayed none of the calming personality that she possesses now, instead being hot-headed, and constanally was kept in check by her teammates. She loved to provoke others into battle and then crush them, after meeting Shiratorizawa`s ace player; Wakatoshi Ushijima she was intrigued and started to watch the way he played.

## Personality

Wakamatsu is one of the most hot-headed members of Kumazawa being loud and easily angered.

He also has the tendency to take off his shirt and spin it over his head when he scores a point in practices. Wakamatsu also has a notably large interest in girls, as shown in the numerous posters of female idols that are posted up in his room.

**Mina Konoha** (Japanese: **木葉 (このは)  美奈 (ミナ)** , *Konoha Mina*) is a first year foreign exchange student at Yukigaoka Junior High. She became a first year member in the Girls' Volleyball Team upon transferring from her overseas school in the United Kingdom, where her maternal great-grandparents were living. In 2021, she would receive a scholarship offer from Itachiyama Institute, due to her status as a foreign exchange student in the foreign exchange program, and would begin attending there. She is the current captain, defense specialist, and one of the most powerful defense-oriented opposite hitters in the Institute`s Girls` Volleyball Team.

## Appearance

Mina is the perfect combination of both of her parents; having inherited the piercing, and immeasurably dark scarlet-red colored eyes of her mother and the height of her father, as well as his neat, medium-length dirty-blonde hair. Additionally, she is quite tall and stands at 178.8 cm, making her tower her teammates who are rather "tiny" and "petite" in appearance, in comparison to Mina. Similar to both of her parents, her eyes are small and narrowed, giving her an almost "cat-like" look to her overall appearance. To ease the pain of her injuries, she wears two black-colored medical pads that provide extra cushioning to her knee areas in the case of either of her knees giving out while she is playing volleyball.

## Personality

Despite her lack-back and deadpan nature (which makes her teammates quite exasperated) and the rather warped sense of humor (as pointed by her family members and teammates), Mina is an excellent, well-rounded player and captain, serving to inspire her teammates in hard situations as well as motivate them to try harder. She`s known to have a "biting sense of humor", with that humor even extending to her own teammates, but it can just as easily turn into scathing retorts when she is having a bad day. Though seemly a blunt person, Mina is actually more softer and sweeter than her outward personality shows. At times, she

**Skylar Florizel** ( Japanese: フロリツェル スカイラー Florizel Skylar ) is a **First Year** at **Karasuno High**. She is the third manager of the Karasuno Boy Volleyball Team and the twin sister of Tyler Florizel.

She is best friends with the other First Years, but is particularly close with Yachi Hitoka.

## Appearance

Skylar has brown hair with the ends of it dyed a dark purple. Her hair is a medium length and is usually seen in a ponytail. Her eyes are a steel blue.

She absolutely despises wearing skirts. She wears shorts underneath her uniform. Whenever she changes into the manager uniform, she always seems relived. She has a dark purple bracelet on her right wrist that she never takes off.

The team usually jokes about how if Tyler and her switch places, they wouldn't notice at all.

## Personality

She's confident, caring and outgoing. She cares for everybody on the team, and if anybody, and I mean ANYBODY gets hurt she will internally freak out but tries her best to keep her cool. She won't even attempt to hold it in if it was her brother. She would immediately tell the coach to pause the game just so she could check on him.

She can be pessimistic at times. She will try to look at the bright side of things, but sometimes it doesn't work and she panics. She's decent at school, but not the best.

Sometimes, she's scared to ask for any favors because she's worried that she might burden others.

## Background

She has a happy family. Her and Tyler have been really close since young and she was the first one who Tyler came out to as trans. ( He was originally female. ) Luckily, their parents accepted him, and they've been even more closer than ever.

Tyler and her do have their fights. Their worst one was possibly the one where Skylar threw Tyler against the car door when they were 8. Tyler already forgave her for it because they were both children, and they joke about it a lot now.

She's quiet but much more louder than her sister. Daruma is slightly awkward when it comes to social contact and likes to stay on her own. She spends a lot of her free-time studying. Despite this, for an unknow reason she has become very close with Tenkubashi twins, who are very much the opposite of Daruma's calm personality.

She can be seen quietly laughing at silly things that happen during classes or after school club activities. She had no plans on joining any club until the boys volleyball team's manager Mai Nametsu basically dragged her to the volleyball club.

As of the 2018 season, the Schweiden Adlers have been reigning champions of the V.League Division 1 for three years straight.

## Background

The team was started in 1953 under the name Imachi Electronic Volleyball Club. The company changed its name in 1982, and the team was renamed to "Schweiden Adlers." The Adlers have won a total of 11 championships and were runner-up 6 times in the Japanese League, V.Premier League, and the V.League. In the Kurowashiki Tournaments, Schweiden Adlers won 14 times and placed second 7 times. They also achieved 4th place in the World Club Championship in 2012.

"Schweiden" is a combination of the German word, Schweiß, and English "golden" while Adlers translates to "Eagles". It's a Japanese electronic company whose motto is "The sweat shed is as valuable as gold." Its name was chosen to represent the eagle, the king of birds. As such, the team aims to be a "gathering of champions" that soars to the top both collectively and individually.

## Uniform

The uniform consists of a white jersey and matching white shorts. The jersey has a gold gradient at the bottom and has navy blue highlights on the front of the collar and orange highlights on the back.

## Trivia

* Schweiden Adlers is a reference to the real life V.League team, Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler. In German, "Weisse Adler" means "White Eagles".
* Most of the known players have some relationship to birds:
	+ Ushijima, Kageyama and Hoshiumi come from schools represented by birds (eagles/swans, crows and seagulls respectively).
	+ Hirugami's first name, Fukurō, is a homonym of the Japanese word for owl.
	+ The "Sokol" in "Sokolov" means falcon in various Slavic languages.
* While Schweiden Adlers is the reigning champion of the V.League Division 1, its real-life counterpart is one of the weaker Division 1 teams and would rank among the bottom.
* Tatsuto Sokolov may be inspired by Tsvetan Sokolov, a Bulgarian professional volleyball player.
