Nanotitan

**Nanotitans** are the largest species on Nanobey.

## Biology

Their tongues are adapted to lick up tiny Nano and eat them like an anteater. They are also built to climb onto their walking cities and tear them apart.

Despite having "titan" in the name, they are the size of a house cat. However, to the perspective of the Nano, this is enormous.
Alatori

* Illusion
* Post-Brandshock
* Pre-Brandshock

**Alatori** (AH-luh-TOH-ree) is a spirit Vani apart of the team invading Earth. The main antagonist of Arbitrary Sermon, he uses his tether, Elliot Kingsley, to host sermons for an unknown purpose.

## History

Prior to the Brandshock, Alatori was a lawmaker.

## Personality

Alatori is a trickster with a cheery, bouncy, faux-friendly demeanor. He almost constantly smiles and feigns innocence, taking nothing to heart and often throwing insults back at others in the process. He's aware that many despise him, and will double down on his behavior to annoy those individuals further. Although very chatty, he doesn't elaborate on his personal plans, leaving his motives largely a mystery.

## Relationships

### Elliot Kingsley

Alatori's tether. He only sees Elliot as a means to carry out his goal, using them as a figurative and literal puppet to attract followers.

## Trivia

* Design notes:
	+ Alatori’s appearance is largely based on jesters, ghosts, birds, masquerade aesthetics, and anteaters.
	+ His true form is based on string puppets.
	+ His original concept was completely different from his current one; he was a large, monk-like being with 3 eyes and a cosmic motif.
* Alatori's name has a double meaning to it, parallel to how he has two forms he uses:
	+ For one meaning, his name is a portmanteau of "alakazam" and the Japanese word "tori" (Bird). This meaning literally means "magic bird".
	+ In the other meaning, his name is a portmanteau of the French preposition "à la" (In the style/way of) and "torii" (A gate style originating from Japan commonly found at Shinto shrines, said to mark the transition from the mundane to the divine). This meaning can literally mean "In the way of the sacred gate".
* Alatori is one of the 10 original Vani conceptualized alongside Xelzerin, Morzogo, Insinera, Deneko, Vauluktreal, Zatakva, Baltzival, Ohazia, and Noktavia.
* He likes the TV show Law & Order.

**Alotreya** (ah-low-TRAY-yuh) is a crystal Vani apart of the team invading Earth. They were engulfed by Vauluktreal before the events of Stars Below, and are now one of the Submerged 17.

## Personality

Alotreya is a Vani shrouded in mystery. They rarely ever talk, the least social of the Earth Vani team, and when they do it's usually to give out pragmatic advice. Their motives are unknown; nobody is able to discern their opinions on anything.

## Trivia

* Design notes:
	+ Alotreya's design was based on the mythical deer trope and crystalline skeletons. Their antlers are based on how some areas, such as Finland, will coat a deer's antlers with reflective paint so they glow in the dark, making it easier for drivers to spot them at night and prevent accidents.
	+ Alotreya's initial featured simpler eye markings, different antlers, no shoulder spikes, and a fluffier tail tip. They also had hooves instead of claws, and bracelets around them had chains like the ones on their antlers and tail.
* Alotreya's name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic word "aotrom" (Light) and the word "reindeer". Their name was also inspired by the word "ethereal".
Message from Saturn 5/16/08

## Description

`video image is a mockup of the image received alongside audio, original was lost`

## Synopsis

The whole video is entirely in morse code. When translated it says: "You really think we're gonna try and hide messages in ciphers? You want us to lose? And even then, you assume we won't lie. You've got guts you stupid little planet. If you really want to prove your worth, come find us. Or me."

This radio transmission comes from Saturn by Zahalkro and is what prompts Zone-B to send Madeline Karazell to fight him on the Moon.
Monsterization

## Description

Monsterization is the condition where a human transforms into a monster-like form. After a human monsterizes, they are called a **Were**.

## Effects

Monsterization is said to be a painful process, as the monster form of a person gorily bursts or tears out of the skin.

Humans after monsterizing can learn to use magic. This is unlike any other known species, as humans are the only ones barred from using magic.

All Weres are capable of transforming back and forth, however this is a learned skill rather than inherent. For some, transforming is binary, either fully a monster, or fully human. But for others, they can exist as partly monster or partly human. For example, Megan Luvsik is never fully human nor fully a monster.
Cacophony Within Arm's Reach

## Description

`She's gone now, right?`
`Killed by the great, hungry nothingness? Will even it silence the banshee...?`
`.................`
`In the days before slaughter, when life was at peace... a girl wandered through vacant, hollow worlds, alone. Echoing all around her were her own screams, and for her, the ten thousand sirens of hell's fury shrieked. A punishment for victimhood lay waste to a being so dreadfully lonely, though help could not break the barrier of noise.`

`Blood dripped from the drums that beat their melody into her brain. Blood, inhuman, and thick like amber, not unlike glue; palms crammed against the drums to stop them, unaware that their beating was solely skull-bound.`

`Side to side she whipped her head, her shoulders cracking under great stress. One day, all alone, the echoes carrying far enough to dwarf the sun's rays... those shoulders cracked and tore a final time.`

`The hornless dragon grew horns that day.`

`Gripping horns.`

Three and a Half Minutes to Madness

## Description

Now, what's brought you up here to Luna, the Moon? There's no easy way to get up here. Besides, how did you even know I was here? I'm avoiding the other Vani and their... goals. I'm no threat at all to you. So... why disrupt me? Why risk yourself to combat me, who is not a threat, and is giving you a very generous chance to go, hm?

...Ah. He's here. Zahalkro. Did he influence you to come here? Because he 'likes' me? Hm? He brought you here, endangering me; is that truly a crush at that point? Oh, it is. A foolish one. A very foolish one, darling; you should tell him his mistake. He's always running from his mistakes, though...

...But... as he runs from his past... I dodge my future, I suppose. I can't hate him. We are two sides of the same coin of anxiety and experienced horrors, hmhm... But. Also unlike him... I have yet to make the same damning mistakes that led to being such a coward. A coward who refuses to admit his truths, his truths towards you, towards the others, towards...! ...Me.

Enough about myself, darling. Enough lamenting about what can no longer be. And enough vagueness that leaves you in the moon dust.

Let me be perfectly... hypnotically... clear. Take your mind away for one final time, since you refuse to run.

And I swear to the odds themselves, if you and that damned Zahalkro aren't out of my sight within three and a half minutes...

## Description

`Luktreal.`

`But Luktreal is no longer herself, despite still holding onto her soul. No more than a mere flesh-drowned zombie, Luktreal has been given the nickname Vau by her fellow Vani. A word untranslatable for humans, but one that sparks great fear amongst the beasts of genocide.`
`This soul has another half. A human, who can walk and fly and speak... act by proxy for this flesh lake. Her name is Megan Luvzik.`

`Those seventeen other souls.... they still glow. They're attached to bodies. Bodies belonging to creatures that were meant to help destroy this world. Should we really nuke it, captain? Should we destroy it? They're alive....... still alive..... We could free them.....`

`.....Just..... leave the lake alone. Leave it alone....`

## Lyrics

A Chasm
A neverending pit of inflammatory neurons
Devoid
Forever
A hollow disillusion
An echo in the something

Through thick
Through thin
Through thick and thin all I found myself was
Hungry (x11)
Hungry for my old reality

A chasm
An entire crowd alone
Neurons bursting in the migraine
Stop, stare, an adventure
Betting on the body count

Who am I
Difficult to be erased
Elevate the stomach ache
Seventeen tears a day
Won't stop the famishing

I'm
Hungry (x11)
Hungry for what? For what,? For what?
Hungry (x10)
Hungry, starving, lusting, hunting
Hunting for my old reality

I think I might make myself sick
Make myself sick
Make myself sick

Hungry (x11)
Hungry for them, for you, for us
Hungry (x10)
Hungry, starving, lusting, hunting
Hungry until time and space are gone

Hungry (x11)
Hungry for them, for you, for us
Hungry
Hungry

Brayziel

* Post-Brandshock
* Pre-Brandshock
* Pre-Injury

**Brayziel** is an alarm Vani apart of the mercy mission team invading Earth. She is one of the Submerged 17, having been engulfed by Vauluktreal prior to the events of Stars Below.

## History

Brayziel grew up in a valley area of the Kraizenlain where Kval raids were common. During one of these raids, she was struck by a piece of shrapnel. The impact of the shrapnel caused Alarm ESP, and she would constantly hear painfully loud noises that were all in her head. She'd often cover her ears and scream to the point of her ears bleeding to counter the noises her condition generated. Due to Vani blood hardening like glue after sitting out for a while, her hands became affixed to her ears one day, and when she tried to free them, her arms instead ripped from their sockets.

Brayziel used to play sports, but the pain she endured from her injury caused her to become too violent to follow the rules. She then turned to arena fighting and took the role of a **Ferality**, as she deemed herself a freak that could very well die. Pypilawa later helped her quit the act.

## Abilities

Brayziel's primary form of attack is screaming. Screams are incredibly loud, and can become strong enough to kill those who hear it. However, it can also hurt herself to the point where she bleeds.

## Relationships

### Pypilawa

Brayziel's lover. She is highly protective of Pypilawa.

### Alex Creighton

Brayziel's tether. She was engulfed by Vauluktreal before she could meet him.

## Appearances

### The Source of Brayziel's Hearing Issue

A young Brayziel gets caught up in a Kval raid, and in the midst of all the chaos, gets struck by a piece of Kval shrapnel. She later awakes in a hospital with Pippi by her side, though cannot hear her due to the noise her ESP creates.

### Ventrava's Mindset

Brayziel makes a cameo as the baby Ventrava holds on page 4. She is also present among the other Vani seen when Ventrava becomes apart of the Submerged 17 on the final page.

### Hungry

While not directly appearing, her thoughts- alongside the rest of the 17's- are represented within the song.

## Trivia

* Design notes:
	+ Brayziel's design is mainly inspired by kangaroos.
	+ She originally only had 5 fingers connected to her tail, arranged in a way similar to a human hand.
* Her brand is shaped like a wound, not unlike the various ones she's accumulated over the years.
* According to Juno, had Brayziel not been engulfed, her attack would involve her and Alex hijacking a PSA system, connecting it to every radio station and cable line available, and broadcasting a noise well above the death threshold. Her Amplifier would've been a microphone-like device.
