## Kalpa

### Hobby and Specialty

Loves tea time with cookies (except some cookies)
???

**Kalpa** is the titular character of KALPA. She and her pack are unlocked by default.

## Character

### Name

Kalpa's name means "formation or creation" in Sanskrit. In Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, a kalpa is a long period of time related to the lifetime of the universe.

### Appearance

Kalpa has long, layered, light blonde hair that reaches just past her waist. Shorter layers, as well as two longer sections of hair that fall in ringlets, frame her face. In her hair she wears a small golden ornament with two flowers, two dark blue ribbons, and a larger golden ornament reminiscent of a halo. Her eyes are bright gold with blue pupils.

She wears a dress with a white and blue bodice and a dark blue skirt with a gold stellar pattern; a train with yellow lining extends from the back sides of the skirt. Kalpa also wears several white petticoats beneath her dress, a pair of gloves that reach past her elbows, and a sheer white shawl. Her footwear is mismatched; on her left foot she wears a blue and gold shoe with a gold decoration wrapped around her calf, and on her right leg she wears a white, blue, and gold boot that reaches halfway up her thigh. Kalpa is flanked by two floating golden stars connected by a white sash with lacy trim.

According to Iris, Kalpa's necklace — a golden choker from which a blue diamond hangs — is capable of taking the shape of any instrument. In Performing Kalpa's artwork, it has become a medium blue and gold violin in the rough shape of an infinity symbol, with star decorations on the sides and chinrest and a miniature star (similar to those surrounding her) at the scroll.

### Variants

Kalpa has two alternate versions: Witch Kalpa and Festival Kalpa.

## Story

### The Saviour of the Universe

The fact that I existed all alone in the universe, surrounded by total darkness and bone-chilling coldness, did not feel real to me. I duly accepted the fact that I could not remember anything, even my name, and memory.

I thought that I did not need to get my memories back.

Time felt meaningless as it passed. Just like that.

But there were two things that were keeping me anchored.

One was a voice asking for help, which I started hearing recently. It seemed that there were other living life forms, other than me and they wanted help.

Another was a sense of another being inside me.

Although it didn’t say anything to me, I could feel a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

How could that being make me feel emotions of warmth and nostalgia? Could I learn more about both of these if I got my memory back?

A ray of hope descended on me.

As I slept again to restore my power, I thought that I wanted to save those who called me for help. I also wanted to learn about the being inside me by getting my memories back.

### Aste and Mero

I opened my eyes to the sound of someone waking me up.

“Oh, Lady Kalpa. You woke up?”

“Huh? Kalpa woke up? I’ll be right there, sister.”

There were two people who seemed like sisters with cow horns and ears.

“Where…am I..?”

I looked around, trying to understand what was happening.

“Kalpa! You woke up! This is the spaceship Pleiades, the home of Aste and Mero.”

Was she waiting for me to wake up? The girl with cow horns and ears explained to me in a glad voice.

“Kalpa? Is that my name? I can’t remember anything at all.”

I tried to remember but had to frown because of a continuous headache.

[-save me, -help me.]

Once again, I heard it. The voice that I heard while I was sleeping.

“Do you hear this sad… desperate sound?”

Tears were starting to flow from my eyes as I focused on the voices.

“I, Aste, and my sister Mero cannot hear that sound.”

The girl named Aste continued on.

“Could you take a look outside first?”

When I looked outside as Aste instructed, I could see the space that lost its light, and the planets that were turned barren.

“It is the sound of all the lives in the universe calling for help. It is a desperate cry that can only be heard by the one who will save the universe.”

“Do you want to save them?”

I nodded as a reply.

“I knew that you would say that! The process will be though but as Lady Kalpa’s chosen helper, I , Aste and,”

“Mero will help alongside you!”

Thus the journey to save the universe with Aste and Mero was begun.

### A Momentary Tea Time

Today, I once again played the Astral Melody to save the universe.

The Astral Play affects the Astral Line in order to revive lives. It is easy to get tired because playing takes lots of energy.

It is the message of thanks for the lives I save, and a moment of tea time that help me relieve the fatigued mind and body.

“Lady Kalpa, how about you come down and enjoy some tea with us? Mero~ You come out here too, instead staying in the lab all the time~”

I always become happy when Aste calls for the start of tea time.

“What kind of tea do we have today?”

“Today’s tea is an extract of the medicinal herbs sent by Lady Elaine, who was worried about us catching a cold in the wintery weather.”

“What’s this? Agh, blagh!”

“No, Mero, don’t spit it out! Bitter tea is good for you. Have some more.”

The bitter taste seemed to linger in my mouth. I wanted some sweets to get rid of the taste.

“Eugh, give me some cookies, cookies!”

Mero reached for a cookie as if she felt the same. Wait, that cookie looked familiar.

“Argh! Who put Iris’s cookie here? Eugh!”

Cookies that were made by Iris, the guardian of Virgo. I can still remember the shock I felt when I first ate her cookies.

The tea time ended as such, with Aste trying her best not to laugh while Mero was throwing up, and I watched on with a nervous face.

## Legacy Story

These story entries are introduced in the game since release up until version 1.5.0, before it was revamped in version 2.0.0

**Yggdrasil**
Yggdrasil, the giant life support neck at the center of the universe, scattered 12 seeds of life from the original universe throughout the universe.

Twelve seeds eventually grew and became 12 trees of life, bearing fruit, and the fruits became constellations and formed galaxies.

In each constellation, beings who protect lives and enrich the rhythm of the universe were born.

They created their own culture in their place and prospered the universe and lives.

[BLOCKED], the more the universe prospered, the more [BLOCKED] increased.

Was the will of a transcendent existence intervened? Kalpa, a being who tried to [BLOCKED] the universe, was born.

But in the darkening universe, Kalpa fell asleep…
**Kalpa**
Golden, bright figure as if the light of life is covering and protecting her, and pure and truthful eyes.

She is born to be so kind and mysterious.

She, who loves the universe and love so much, warmly embraces the life that is losing its power with her beautiful melody and makes it alive again.

After having teatime with Aste and Mero by chance, she loved its flavor so much that she can't wait for teatime with them every time.

Before she fell asleep and lost her memory, she tried to [BLOCKED] as usual as she had done in the [BLOCKED] universe, but fell asleep due to [BLOCKED] and the universe fell into the long darkness and lives are losing its power.

Perhaps the reason why she [BLOCKED] was truly for the universe…
**Cookies**
The beautiful melody Kalpa began to play, the light of life slightly started to shine in the universe as if rhythm flows like a smooth wave.
After the end of the music, her surroundings gained power and became what it should look like.

She sighed and felt at peace.

She came back to Pleiades and fell in happiness that she will have tea time with Mero and Aste.

She took a deep breath, thinking of the tea aroma that would make her satisfied like a breeze.

However, she could smell something familiar, but like to be unfamiliar. She thought 'No... this is...'

Heard a clear and warm voice, there, Iris stood with the cookies she baked.

"Kalpa! You're back~ This time I went deep into the woods and there were colorful and pretty mushrooms! So I picked them up and baked cookies with a new recipe! It's an ambitious work I did~ I thought Kalpa must like it so much, so I ran to right here~"

Kalpa asked.

"Where is... Mero and Aste...?"

Iris said.

"It seemed like both of them had just left. I also thought Mero and Aste would be together, so I made a lot of cookies, but they were not here! It's actually strange that I saw them going back to Pleiades but when I visited, they often already went out."

Kalpa said, feeling a bit angry at Mero and Aste, "Aha. Cookies... I'll eat well! Thanks every time, Iris. You don't have to come this far. I want to eat right now, but I am a little tired today. I'll try it later!"

Iris said with joy, "Kalpa, thank you! I was willing to see you eat my cookie with happiness, but you're not feeling well... I'll help you recover from your tiredness! I talked to people in my village today that I'll be back late at night, so it's okay to come and eat cookies together after waiting for your recovery!"

Kalpa was frightened and shouted unconsciously, "N... no! It's okay! I have to go play rhythms again later, so I'll bring the cookies and eat it after that. I will be so good! Ha ha!"

Iris said goodbye to her, worrying about her condition.

She left.

Kalpa sighed and felt at peace.

She took and put the cookies in Mero's room.
**The Bad Dream**
She was in the pitch darkness. She looked around where nothing seemed to be visible.

But, a faint light appeared somewhere, so she quickly ran to there. Light was leaking out of a small hole like a jade bead. She looked beyond that hole. There could be seen the beautiful stars and lives she loves. However, something looks like a man took away life and energy in the universe and absorbed everything.

She tried to play her beautiful melody in order to counter attack about the destruction, but she couldn't make a voice or pick up an instrument to play. The being, as if laughing at her actions, increased the speed of destruction.

She yelled and opened her eyes. Was it a dream? When she opened her eyes, Mero threw a hammer at the wall and said, actually startled, "Kalpa! Jeez, you were oversleeping! Why suddenly shout? I thought of being deaf!"

Aste looked at Mero and scolded her, "When the hell would you fix your speech habit!".

She smiled and relaxed at the usual situation of the two and the fragrant aroma of tea flowing into her nose.

## Story

### Mero

***“Well, this is interesting. Let's try breaking it.”***
I heard from my older sister Aste that all Cattles are born with a particular desire.
I tend to get mistaken for having a desire for destruction because I destroy whatever I see,but l am more interested in making things rather than breaking them.
I really, really like making new things after destroying something curious with my hammer and chemicals.
I realized my desire later than my other sisters. If it weren't for Aste, it would have taken even longer.
To thank my sister, who couldn't follow her desire because she was taking of me since little, I made the ship Pleiades.
The satisfaction of successfully making something for the first time, and the expression on my sister's face as she received her gift.Those two reasons made me realize my desire to make things.
In this universe, there are always new objects that pique our interest.Aste wants to collect them and want to turn them into something new,so we are the perfect duo.
I wonder what curiosity will be awaiting us today.

As Aste and I were traveling through space to find new marvels, the Pleiades detected a mysteriousintruder.
**Warning.Warning**
**Abnormal Energy Detected Inside the Ship.Intruder Detected.**
At the place that the Pleiades led us, I saw two Fox Family members in strange clothes.
After speaking with my older sister, they disappeared and left a music box.
Aste lost interest in it soon and left it in storage despite its marvelous decorations and appearance because we couldn't open it.
Not missing this chance, I brought it to my lab without alerting her.
But the box did not open,even through force,hammering, or chemicals. I decided to quit my research and thought it was like a pretty,useless rock.
That was when the box suddenly opened.
“?”
There was still no sound,but I could see black stones inside that were also shining a mysterious light at the same time.
I watched it for a while, in surprise,but resumed my research when I found that there seemed to be unstable but potentially great energy inside the stones.
While I was focusing on the research, staying in my lab,the black stones suddenly started to emit energy simultaneously and began to shake.It grew stronger, like resonating energy waves.
Was there something calling out to these stones,perhaps?
When we traced the signal and arrived at the right place,**we ended up witnessing a gigantic being destroying the universe.**

During our tea time, I suddenly thought that it would be a good time to ask Kalpa what I had been curious about for some time.Aste was upstairs,washing the tea cups.
“Hey, Kalpa~”
“Yes,Mero?”
“That violin of yours. It turns into different forms,right?”
“Yes, it somehow shifts into whatever instrument that I want to play.”
“That's amazing.Can I borrow it for just three days?
“What?”
As I approached the violin with an evil face and a hammer and chemical bottles in my hands,the violin suddenly started shaking very hard.
“Huh? Kalpa, doesn't it feel like it's moving?"
“No way. Maybe you saw something different."
“I swear that it moved.”
“That can't be true. Also, I don't think I can lend you this.Without this violin, I cannot Astral Play."
“That's a shame.Please let me do some research on it someday,though.”
“All right.”
“Huhu, you just wait. I'll figure out what you are made of!"
I thought that the violin was starting to sweat, but had to end the conversation there because I heard Aste coming downstairs.
I don't want her to scold me, after all.

### Aste

***“Mero, I told you to put things in their place once you are done using them."***
***“Ah, Aste's nagging at me again!"***
Every Cattle is born with a certain desire.
All the Pleiades sisters,including Mero, have a strong urge for something. In my case, it is the great desire to add things to my collection.
I have always taken care in place of my older sisters, who had strong opinions and were more focused on fulfilling their desires.
I aimed to be a perfect older sister for Mero,so I could be someone that Mero could depend on like parents.Because of that, I ended up having a polite and thoughtful personality.
Although Mero complained, she always listened to me as if she knew about my efforts.
Mero and I are living on the ship Pleiades, which was made by young Mero when she first realized her desire of creating things.
Mero also made this for me,when she learned that I had to travel to various places to fulfill my desire to collect things.
I was so moved that I hugged her tightly for several days.Afterward,she started to avoid me when I so much as tried hugging her, which disappointed me a little.
When I feel down due to Mero disappointing me or failing to add a new item to my collection,I find peace of mind by viewing the loveiy collection at the corner of the Pleiades.Everything here belongs to my only.Even Mero is not allowed to view what I have gathered here.
Today I am once again traveing through space,thinking of what to add to my collection.

One day, as I was traveling with Mero again, two members of the Fox Family with nine tails appeared on the Pleiades with a mystical light.
Although Mero and I were surprised by their appearance,they called our names and talked to us as if they knew us already.
A Fox Family in a priestess's dress continued on while swishing her bushy tail.
“Oh, now that I think about it, you two haven't met usyet.We actually came here to give you this.This will become necessary one day!"
With those words, the Fox Family disappeared,leaving a music box surrounded by mystical power.
Mero and I put the music box inside the storage,disappointed by how the music box did not make any sound despite its pretty appearance and was unbreakable.
By the time we had forgotten about it, we were watching a gigantic being destroying the universe.The unmoving music box suddenly surrounded us in a beautiful light and sound, saving Mero and my life from the oncoming destruction.
In the universe devoid of light,only we could move.We tried various methods to restore the universe to the way it was, but there was no reaction.
Saddened by the lack of results, we instead decided to find someone who could save the universe.

**The month of X, Day X, XXXX.**
A lot of time has passed since the day that everything froze. After combining the information that we found in planets of lost light, we learned that the savior of the universe would be a mysterious girl called 'Kalpa'.
**The month of X,Day X,XXXX.**
Searching through the whole universe is a difficult task.Mero looks very tired,and so am I.Will the universe be saved?
**The month of X,Day X,XXXX.**
Mero made a machine that detects energy by shooting a burst of a strong signal from the Pleiades. Mero hasn't looked so happy in a long time,as she worked on making themachine. I thought that I would be satisfied just with Mero being able to smile,even if we couldn't find'Kalpa'.
**The month of X,Day X,XXXX.**
It has been two months since we began the search using the machine that Mero created.The machine had detected strange energy, so we changed the course of the Pleiades to move.
**The month of X,Day X,XXXX.**
We arrived at the place where the machine was pointing.Instead of the girl called Kalpa', we only found a destroyed temple and a mark of a once great tree.This must be the tree Yggdrasil at the center of the universe,and the 'Temple of Contemplation'that we found in the records.When we arrived we suddenly felt refreshed, and the machines inside the Pleiades began to recharge as well.Could this be the Yggdrasil's power?
**The month of X,Day X,XXXX.**
Is this because of Yggdrasil? A revived machine detected newenergy. Mero and I piloted the Pleiades to go to the source of it.There we found a beautiful and mysterious girl with soft golden hair, surrounded by golden lights.We had finally found her. We decided to bring Kalpa, the savior of the universe,aboardeventhough she was deep asleep.
**The month of X,Day X,XXXX.**
Kalpa woke up. We wanted to ask her to save the universe right away.but it seemed like she lost her memory.Perhaps Mero and I were given the role of leading this girl to the rightful place of the savior.

## Legacy Story

* These story entries are introduced in the game since release up until version 1.5.0, before it was revamped in version 2.0.0

Mero, the youngest of the seven Taurus sisters, is curious in everything, loves to crush anything with the hammer she has been holding since she was born.
She's so honest and confident that she often talks with no filtering and is a tomboy...
But sometimes, she gets embarrassed in front of some specific ones.
Often, she moves the Pleiades with her older sister, Aste, to travel around the universe together.
She was searching [BLOCKED] with Aste in the very beginning of the universe with curious eyes, and then got [BLOCKED] and became [BLOCKED].
Because she is [BLOCKED], she has all the [BLOCKED] from the very beginning of the universe, and although she [BLOCKED] the universe from [BLOCKED], [BLOCKED] and now she is living with sister Aste, relying on each other.

She always organizes and exhibits what she has collected.
She is so kind and generous that she maintains her smile almost every time (maybe good girl syndrome).
When she's upset, she talks to her lovely collections and cheers herself up...
But once she gets angry, no one can stop her...
She was searching [BLOCKED] with Mero in the very beginning of the universe with curious eyes, and then got [BLOCKED] and became [BLOCKED].

Mero is curious and her curiosity never stops.
The universe is full of beings and objects that constantly stimulate her.
Today, as soon as she woke up, she continued to persuade her sister Aste to find the mystery of the universe.
Aste seemed to hate to go out, but reluctantly persuaded.
What kind of mystery is there in today's universe?
They traveled around the universe moving Pleiades, and today Mero paid attention to looking for a unique new tea powder.
While riding the warp, there seems to be something blue in the distance, so she asked her sister Aste, who is controlling the Pleiades, to find out what that blue thing is.
Something that was emitting a blue light looked closer and was simply reflecting the light elsewhere.
She tried to go to the place where it was reflected with anticipation, but her older sister said she is so tired and told her to go first.
'Is she going to the toilet...?' she thought, and she went back to Pleiades.
Soon they moved to the reflecting place, and there was a huge rock shining blue.
Immediately she took out the hammer and began to break it.
The rock, which turned into powder, went up to the tea experiment table in her room and began to react with other powders.

She woke up in the morning and, like every time, set out on a journey by making a situation as if she was reluctantly dragged by Mero.
This is because she must always be gentle and calm from Mero's point of view as she is an older sister.
She, who was controlling the Pleiades, moved to the blue thing that Mero found out, pretending that she had no interest in that.
There was something like a giant mirror that reflected light.
She immediately imagined that the huge mirror had entered her secret collection room.
Her dazzling collection of items will be reflected by the huge mirror.
She became crazy about imagining it.
But Mero said it's trivial.
She wanted to carry it somehow, told Mero to go first, then sneaked it into her secret box and made a faint smile unconsciously.
There was a huge blue ore where she went with Mero. She thought to herself.
'I want to have it, I want to have it, I want to have it..!!'
But then, suddenly Mero grabbed a hammer and broke it.
Inwardly, she felt the anger in her boil, but as an older sister, she calmed down her anger and asked Mero if she got what she wanted, and whether to go back or not.
Mero said yes and they returned to Pleiades.
After returning, she put her great collection, the huge mirror, in her secret collection room and placed it in the optimal location.

**Luka** is one of the characters in KALPA. He is unlocked by purchasing his pack in Pleiades.

## Character

### Appearance

Luka has short, messy white hair and yellow eyes with horizontal pupils. His ears are sheeplike; a pair of round off-black horns are just above them. He also wears a black beret.

Luka's clothing consists of a white short-sleeved button-down shirt tucked into a pair of off-black shorts with suspenders. His tail can be seen poking out from behind the latter. Around his neck, he wears a white cravat and a golden bell to which a black bow is tied. He also wears an off-black cape with deep blue lining and a white collar, as well as a thin black band around his right thigh, white knee-high socks, and black and white shoes.

The Book of Succession floats in front of Luka. It is a somewhat thick black tome with elaborate designs around the edges of its covers, and a crescent moon on its front.

## Story

### Luka

Luka is the Guardian of Aries, the first zodiac and also the successor of Sheeple. He is the youngest among the Guardians, however he is the leader of 12 Conference, which discuss the future of Universe’s peace and entropy. As the youngest yet the wisest among all, he serves his duty within his power to summon and gain wisdom from his ancestors.
Luka is docile and loves peace. He has a significant intelligence and sense to feel upcoming jeopardy.
However, his basic athletic features are under the average, thus gets injured easily by falling off.
Due to his naïve characteristic like other Sheeples, without a help from his ancestor, he might have been deluded by others well.
However, it seems that he does not think he is so naïve.
Sheeples are said to be returning to the ‘Root of Soul’ after their mortal life and stay with their descendants.
A power to borrow wisdom with their ancestors is known to be abled due to this trait.
Luka, who is especially serving as the Guardian, is able to contact with ancestors at any time by summoning ‘Root of Soul’ in the form of ‘Book of Succession’.
Perhaps their averaged short life term of 30 years is the side effect of their trait.
As Elves shown their valor by fighting at the frontline of the Astral War, Sheeples led the war to humane victory with their wisdom. Their activity on field was highly appraised by all the other beings who wished peace upon Universe. As a result, Sheeples are acknowledged as a mascot of peace all along the Universe from then and now on.

### Daydreaming

After putting on his glasses, Luka read the words on the Book. Worrying about the 12 Conference and the future of Universe, Luka suddenly began to think about other Guardians.
“Hehe~ Definitely Elaine and Lana is the most beautiful and kind among Guardians~ Maybe they have a crush on me.”
Scribbling, as Luka was soaked by his happy daydream, the ‘Book of Succession’ next to him started to write down words.
“Oh, Ancestor, wait for a second! Let me grab my glasses…"
'Delusion, Free. However, do it alone.'
Luka clicked his tongue after reading the Book.
“Tsk… Alright, alright. It just came out of my mouth naturally. Don’t be so hard."
“By the way… I think I’m stuck in the doghouse with the Judge and the Scorpion… I was saying somethings to them as they were having some.. ‘Disagreement’ before, but I think I was little bit too much at the last Conference. Those eyes man… Maybe I’ll get assassinated with Iris’s cookies in agony.”
Luka blurred his words.
“I’m… not ready to die yet…"
The Book answered Luka, flirting its pages.
'Luka, Too much worries. Iris Cookie, Danger, Agree.'
“I heard that Miya held a surprise showcase to celebrate the Valhalla’s 100th anniversary and it was super awesome. I missed it playing with you!"
'Luka, Ancestor, Bored. Shiritori, Fun. Play, Duty. Revolt, Bad.'
“Ah, just shut it. The researcher, doesn’t she literately ‘Always’ stays in her room? I wonder how she knew and went to see the showcase. Indeed she’s the president of MISO(‘Miya the Sophisticate’).”
'The Being, History Itself. Action, Unable to predict.'
With a disappointment, Luka began to think of other Guardians.
“I heard those twins fought and got awkward again. Their attitude literally changes day after day. Well, it is a fact that Celestials and Demons are like water and oil so… Hmm, Maybe the Machine next door… I found her doing some strange things to the younger twin lately. Isn’t she driving a wedge between them? It’s odd… Maybe it’s time for a Sheeple to step in.”
'Conjecture, 100 Percent. Reason, Necessary. Stepping in, Waste. Guardian, Respect.'
“Alright. By the way, why are you keep nagging at me these days? I didn’t do anything wrong recently.”
'…'
“Hello..?“
'…'
“Are you there..?"
'…'
Luka’s eyes began to fill with tears.
The Book hurriedly wrote with nervous letters.
'Luka, Joke. Sorry. Luka, Precious.'
“Stop... Stop talking to me anymore. I’ll go see Ares after work…"

### Luka, the Leader of the Twelve Guardians

Twelve guardians of the constellations have gathered here to discuss the order and the future of the universe itself.
As their leader, I am currently leading the conference.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The next topic is 'A Discussion about Kalpa' as suggested by Lady Alcyone. Please stand up and make your satement, Lady Alcyone."
"As you heard from the sheep kid, this topic is about Kalpa."
I restrain myself as a leader, despite the words 'sheep kid' angering me.
"It is true that the power she holds saved us all."
"However, don't you think that her power could be misused by someone lusting for it, now that most of the universe has been revived?"
"Why do you think that the power could be used wrongly?"
Lynn asks sharply, pushing up her glasses.
"What if I started a war against your Sagittarius, and then used Kalpa's power to only return my soldiers to life? How is that? Wouldn't it be fun? You wouldn't know how great this power is, because you have been blinded by peace."
Although I feel sorry for Lady Kalpa, it is true that her power that defies natural order could influence the peace of the universe.
"It sounds as if you want to begin a war. How about we find a way to restrain you first, rather than Kalpa?"
It seems as if there would be a fight between the opposing guardians. My ancestors were right in that I was needed to get the conference going.
"Everyone, stop! Ares, help me instead of just standing around!" I held my head between my arms, frustrated, as I looked for Ares to help me.

*"Arcyone is the Guardian of Taurus and the Empress of the Aden Empire in the center of Taurus. From her childhood experience, she is obsessed with money and power. Due to her madness with obsession, she has obtained what she wants by all means. Those who opposed her, all trampled and fell to the foundation of power."*

— In-game description

**Arcyone** is one of the characters in KALPA. She is unlocked by purchasing her pack in Pleiades.

## Character

### Name

Arcyone is named after Alcyone, the fourth of the mythological Pleiades.

### Appearance

Arcyone has long, straight pink hair that reaches her waist, with some shorter layers framing her face. Her bangs, while straight, fall over the left side of her face, partially obscuring her left eye. A large pair of slightly curved black horns protrude from her head, just above her bovine ears. In her left ear she wears a steel gray tag marked with the symbol of Taurus. Her eyes are green.

She wears a sleeveless white collared shirt tucked into a tight, high-waisted black miniskirt with a slit up the side.

## Story | Legacy

This segment contains pre-2.0 story entries. Please refer to the next segment for up-to-date story entries

### Arcyone

Arcyone, she is the Empress and the Guardian of Taurus.
Above the sapphire blue ocean, Elive, the capital city of Aden Empire, filled with golden structure stands. Elive has developed with a culture that values splendor and beauty more than any other culture. However, beneath the golden city, there is a wide area of slums where the poor, who barely eat even one meal a day, live.
Due to her extraordinary innate political sense, she started in the slums of Elive and became the empress of the Aden Empire. Those who saw her for the first time had no choice but to admire its beauty and power, and no one dared to say a thing as the hostile were subjected to terrible retaliation from her madness.
The Guardian is a symbol of the Zodiac, which only exists in each constellation. Among them, only who symbolized pure desire for greed could have the throne of the Taurus.
Reasonably, as the status and honor were guaranteed, everyone wanted the honor. It is even said that some even poured in their whole property to gain the Guardian's place when it was vacant. Nevertheless, it was an honor that could not be obtained unless chosen by God who gave it the ability of the guardian.
It didn't take long for her to qualify even under such occasion. In addition, the ability of 'Robbery' granted as the Guardian further strengthened her status as the Empress. However, perhaps because the greedy spirit of the Taurus, which she gained as she became the Guardian, her nature stained with madness showed even more than before.
Having pursued power regardless of the light and shadow, she also has known S since childhood, the infamous ruler of the dark world. Rumor has it that she knows S's real name and real job hidden under the veil.

### Party

*Warning: This story entry contains strong language!*

A huge chandelier, placed on high ceiling, which is about to reach 10 adults in a straight line, glares brightly at the entire palace banquet hall.
At the center of the hall stands Arcyone, the Empress of the Aden Empire, with a faint smile.
“Arcyone the Great! This one cannot thank more to God for the day of the birth of the glorious Empress. Please accept this Irium! It's a rare jewel that changes its color depending on the direction it sees."
Indeed, today's banquet was for none other than Arcyone, the owner of this country's birthday.
One servant seemed to have prepared specialty of land under his jurisdiction as a gift.
Arcyone received the jewelry without saying much.
As she turned the jewelry around, she could see the color of the light changing.
She smiled happily and soon opened her mouth softly.
“Sir Pergius, I deeply praise you for your hard work and also your discernment. You may look forward to your future."
“Tha, Thank you, your highness!"
After granting the jewel, he barely bowed his head stiffly and stepped back.
“You. Put this jewel on display in my treasure room."
Arcyone handed over the jewelry to the court lady standing next to her.
“Yes, your highness."
The court lady vanished without a sound quickly.
When everyone was drunk on the elegant atmosphere
of the banquet hall, another rushed up to her and spoke.
“Your Majesty, I urgently received a box from the Owl."
“Open it."
The servant opened the box immediately.
A letter with the seal of 'S' and the white chocolate laid inside the box neatly.
“Oh, is it her?"
Arcyone ripped the seal and opened the letter.
...
- Go fuck yourself -
After reading the letter, Arcyone started to laugh madly.
Vassals around her froze at her sudden action.
Soon after, she stopped laughing and snarred.
“Hehe ~ Bitch~"
## As she smiled as if nothing juset happened, people around her felt relieved.
The banquet continued.
The Empire's best violinist performed and received applause.
Those who came out in the form of clowns made people laugh one's head off.
After few hours of pleasant atmosphere, a man in the mysterious star-patterned clothes quickly approached Arcyone and granted a box.
“Your highness... The Guardian sent you a present."
“Ohh~ Didn't I recieved it all?"
She answered pleasantly, opening the box.
After a moment,
She turned blue as she saw the content in the box,
She suppressed her bursting feelings and spoke in a quiet voice word after word.
“...From which constellation did you came?"
“Ah... Sixth your highness."
In response, she snarred with a mad smile and murderous intent.
“Hah. Have you not heard, not to take anything given by Sixth Constellation?"
“…"
“You wish your death. Ha ha ha."
“…"
“Get lost."
Petrified with fear, he hardly grabbed the box again and left with hast.
After a few silent moment, she putted on her peaceful smile again on her face and melted through the atmosphere of the banquet.
It was only when gifts were piled up beyond counting that the banquet ended.

### The Empress of Greed

Ah, I want it. I want it so much. I want it in my possession. Resist if you will. I like your futile attempts. The value of something grows only more significant when it is hard to get.
Oh, you think that I'm selfish and crazy? Well, insult me as much as you want. What can you meager pride get you? A mountain of gold? A vast land>? A servant that will grovel beneath your feet
The envy and jealousy of those who never had anything at all are so pitiful.
But there is something that even I can't have. It's Kalpa's power of freely controlling life.
She only uses her power to save lives, but if she wants to, it would be easy for her to command the whole universe.
Who would ever predict that her power to save the universe maybe used to cause bloodshed? That's very, very funny.
I can't help but long for that power. I heard that a seal has taken away her memories and power. I will have to look into that.
You, bring all the famed scholars here to research the method that sealed away Kalpa in the past.
You may treat them to some torture if they are uncooperative.
By the way, if the news of this ever reaches outside ears, then I will destroy not only you but all of your family, friends, and neighbors. Do you understand? Then move already. Ha Ha~

## Story

The Giants are hostile people who fight each other every five years with their lives at the stake.They believe that subduing other strong warriors with violence begets them honor.
I was born to parents who dreamed of a peaceful world, unlike most of the others.
Unfortunately,valuing words and peace over violence and power was considered cowardly and weak to other giants.
As such, other giants grew to look down on us more and more.
But no one dared to lay a hand on us, because my father was strong enough to instill fear in to other giants who might threaten us.
I still remember the conversation with my father.which has influenced my values to this day.
“Father, why do you leave the people who look down on you alone, when you are so strong?"
*“Ares, what do you think it means to be strong?”*
“Mmm, I'm not sure. Maybe it means earning other people's admiration?”
*“Haha,that's not completely wrong.A person to be admired,that's a good answer. But you must not use violence to become such a person."*
My father had a serious expressions on his face as he continued on.
*“Being strong doesn't mean showing off power just for one's standing or honor. It also doesn't mean dominating over others with senseless strength."“What is it, then?”*
*“The strongest person is the one who can protect what is important to him.”*
I admired my father's beliefs,and chose not to use brute strength either.Perhaps it is also because others pitied my small stature, but I could reach my12th birthday without much conflict.
*”Come home early today, Ares. I will also make traditional snacks that you like~”*
I came home early from school, so expectant about spending a happy birthday with my parents that I could hardly concentrate in class.
But the house I returned to was strangely still and quiet.
As I opened the door with a strange gut feeling, I found my mother on the floor, bleeding, with the snacks she prepared scattered around her.
My legs gave out.My knees began to hurt, hitting the floor at full force.Unfortunately,this was thereality. Embracing my mother's body, which had grown cold, I began to cry.
Was it surprise? Sorrow? Anger? A sense of loss?No single word could explain what I was feeling at the moment.Tears did not stop flowing, and sounds of sadness and anger burst from my throat.
**Crash.**
There was suddenly a sound of a plate breaking.with crashing noises from the kitchen.

*-Continued from the Volume 2 of the autobiography of Ares-*

I let down my mother's body carefully on the floor and headed to the direction of the sounds.There I found my father, fighting with his bare hands against an unknown Giant with a metal gauntlet.
Maybe it was the loss I felt from just losing my mother,but I ended up calling father without a further thought.

**“Father!!”**
The unknown giant then realized I was there,and looked at me with scheming eyes."
*“Ares,run!”*
I tried to run as my father said,but the giant was upon me in an instant. I was small, even for a child,and was soon caught in his grasp.
*“Leave the child alone!”*

Despite my father's desperate cries,the giant continued the fight with me caught in his grip by the neck.
Father could not move aggressively, in fear of hitting me. He was letting too many blows in.
It would have been a close fight, if it weren't for me being a hostage.
After trading more punches and kicks, it was my father who fell to the floor.

**"HAHAHA!Your weak and wishful thinking left you withthisburdensome offspring. Now you will die,because of all the mistakes that you have built upon until now! The Giants do not need weaklings!get rid of you,too!"**

After seeing that my father was no longer moving.the giant threw me like a rag doll against the wall.
Blood was flowing from the wound I got from crashing against the wall.
I headed to my father, dragging my heavy body and oblivious to any pain I felt.

*“Father...”*
Just like my mother,he was not breathing.It felt as though I have lost everything in the world.
I was sobbing with my father's bloodied body in my hands.The giant, as if humored by my presence.was laughing brashly at me.
**My mother had died because I was weak.**
**My father had died because I could not run away.**
*I could not stop blaming my own powerlessness.My family never wanted to harm anyone. We wanted a peaceful life, and that was why we were living by ourselves quietly.*
*Why did my family have to die?*
*Was it because it was the thought of the weak to long for peace?*

***No.***

It was because we did not have enough power to enforce what we believed in.
It was because we were not strong enough to protect ourselves while speaking of peace.

I was soon devoured by an uncontrollable sense ofrage.
I wanted power. I wanted to kill the giant in front of me. I wanted revenge.I wanted an absolute,domineering power that would bring a peaceful world that my parents wished for.
As the my rage grew, I could feel something within me boiling.
It was a power that lay dormant inside me,thepower of transformation.
As I started to accept the power, I could feel myhair,teeth,and nails growing like a brave and powerful lion.
My sense of sight,hearing,smell,and touch all grew sharper and magnified.
I felt certain that with this power, I could kill the despicablegiant in front of me.
The fight afterward was one-sided.
When I finally regained consciousness, the giant'scorpse had been ripped to shreds.
The first ever experience of violence did not affect me as much as I thought.There was also no sense of satisfaction from avenging my parents.
Instead, I started to feel a sense of duty.
'I must teach the giants how truly meaningless the constant violence and fights they want are.'
'I must become a king over the fools.'
After deciding to become a king, I began to prepare for everything.
Firstly, I strengthened by power of transformation,and made martial prowess with the training I underwent to build up my body.
Secondly, I sought intelligence by becoming a student of the one known to be wisest in the entire universe.
Thirdly, I met many people and grew my leadership and virtues,so that I would be able to gain charisma of a king leading everyone.
Finally having gained everything that I was looking for, I immediately set out for the battle ground and founded the kingdom of Dominatio Magnifica as a leader of the Giants.
“Father, I have become someone that all giants look up to.”
I continued on, holding my cup of wine to the moon in the sky.

“You were right about most things,Father,exceptfor one.”
I drank a sip from the cup.

“It's that without a great power,peace cannot beupheld.”
I let out a laugh.

“Although I despise those giants, I will try to rule over the nation and lead them well,according to your vision of peace,father."
When I finished the words that would not reach anyone's ears and looked down at my cup, I found that there were drops of water in the cup that was supposed to be now empty.

## Story

### Iris

The Guardian of Virgo, Iris lives in a small village in harmony with nature among the stars she protects.

She is sweet and often likes to bake cookies and share them with neighbors.

However, as she basically has tolerance to poison and has a peculiar taste of mouth, her cookies can be dangerous in many ways...

She loves to read poetry in nature, surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers.

She has the ability of 'Cultivation' and can grow crops quickly and easily, normally using the power for making nature more lovely or farming.

### The routine of Iris

Every day, her routine began with reading poems, feeling the whispers of birds in the woods.

After having a good time in the woods, she leisurely picked apples from the orchard road.

After eating with fruit picked in the morning, she began working on the field.

She had the ability of 'Cultivation', she made crops grow quickly, using her pickaxe.

When the time became about lunchtime, she was excited about the dishes she would share with her neighbors. She especially made cookies for dessert with pride every time.

She traveled around town carrying cooked dishes and cookies and distributed them for neighbors. They were grateful and handed out their food to her.
But she always wondered. For some reason (in the town) she always got a wind of the smell of nasty food waste.

After lunch with a dish from her neighbors, she reaped the grains she grew.

She said thanks to her pickaxe for suffering in growing crops like she always did.

Every evening at sunset, she prepared to fall asleep early, feeling euphoria of doing more rewarding work for her neighbors and the grains cultivated today.

## Character

### Name

Libera's name is derived from Libra, the sign she represents.

*Libera is also a religious art form in which a special form of hymn is sung by Catholics.*

### Appearance

Libera has long, straight dark blue hair with shorter and significantly messier layers framing her face.

## Story

### Libera

Libera, the Supreme Justice, is also the Guardian of Libra. Libra can be found between Virgo and Scorpio, but once treated as Scorpio's claws, she doesn't get along very well with the guardian of Scorpio.

As a guardian, she has the ability to 'balance', so that she can see exactly the equivalent value of everything, and also if she pays the exact equal value of something, she can exchange it to get anything that is equal to the value of it. However, exchanges that violate the laws of the universe cannot be made.

With this ability, she is able to accurately report and give the fair penalty of any crime.

The Guardian once seemed to prevent the universe from dying due to the increase of entropy by giving [BLOCKED] to [BLOCKED] by using her ability. But, it only stopped for a while.

### The Supreme Justice of Libra

She woke up at the exact time of 6:30 in the morning, sipping ice mint tea as usual, and went to work at the Supreme Court of Libra.

Even today, as if everybody was waiting for her to sincerely go to judge, so many papers were in front of her desk, looking forwards to her judgement. She reluctantly used the power of 'balance' to make a judgement fast for each.

She was always strict and just in judgement and people deeply respected her in that point of view, but sometimes, as she seemed to decide everything without mercy, people felt fear on the other side. However, the actual thing was, there were always mercy reasons for making those determinants and she was the owner of a warm heart. She often took care of Iris, who is the guardian of Virgo.

When she left work, she must have been exhausted, but she returned home with happiness, thinking of binge-watching Blade Running series again.

On her day off, she loved to go to a club called 'Libra Movie Fans' and discuss films in depth.

However, when she began the conversation, nobody could contradict properly because there were no logical gaps that could go against. She was always sad of not continuing conversation, but she didn't express her feelings out for people not to feel uncomfortable.

### The Power Of the Scale

"Oh Libera, you're here! Did you bring the scale with you?"
Today was the day that I decided to experiment with Mero on the power of the scale. "Wow, is this the scale that gives out something of an equal value when you pay the price? I wonder how it works."I looked at Mero wearily, looking at how she had a hammer in one hand and a flask in the other, shaking them.
"Oh, I'm not going to use these today. Not today. Let's just start the experiment already! It's working properly, right?"
I brought out white chocolate, which I found as evidence when I
was searching through Sylvia's mansion. I wanted to demonstrate the scale's power to Mero.
"What is this for?'
"'I just confiscated this without any reason from S, in order to *taunt* her."
As I put the chocolate on one side of the scale after explaining, there was a small light that shone and eventually disappeared. On the opposite side of the scale, mint chocolate appeared. So the rule of equivalent exchange was working properly.
"Now that we saw it working, let's try out your experiment already. I
want to go watch old classic movies after finishing this."
"Wait a minute. I left it here somewhere."
Mero looked around for a while, and then eventually brought something. Is this a cookie?
"Now give me something in exchange for this cookie!"
"Isn't this a cookie that Irismade? How dare you throw this away!"
"I'll explain later. Please put this on the scale first. Aren't you curious as well-?"
At Mero's repeated request, I put the cookie on one side of the scale. I was sure that it would result in another mint chocolate.But unlike my prediction, a large light surrounded the scale. How could such a small cookie result in such a big light?
The light faded away to show-a huge bomb that was about to explode, with its fuse almost all burned out.
"Wha-what is this!"The bomb then burst, without giving Mero and me a chance to run away.
-Boom-
How could dear Iris's cookie hold the same value as a bomb? Was the scale broken? After deciding to ask CODE:I for fixing, I fainted.

## Character

### Name

All three of Sylvia's names begin with the letter S. This is likely an allusion to Scorpio, the sign she represents.

The name Sylvia means "spirit of the wood" and the name Sullivan means "dark eyes".

### Appearance

Sylvia has long silver hair streaked with red in a single braid that reaches to around her knees. The braid is held with a black and gold ornament, and the tips of her hair are stained red. She has messy bangs swept to one side of her face, along with a curled hair flick and two face-framing hair pieces that stop at her chest. Two smaller braids wrap around the side of her head, though where they end is unknown. Sylvia wears a set of golden cuffs in her left ear; the lowermost has a red decoration in the shape of a scorpion's claw dangling from it. She has red eyes and a beauty mark below the center of her left eye, and she wears blush and pale red lipstick.

She wears a dark gray suit with red lining. The suit jacket is done up with six white buttons and has a plunging neckline, exposing part of the red garment she wears beneath. The part of the jacket below her left breast is a lighter gray with white vertical stripes. Her sleeves are wider than her arms and feature gold trim near the cuffs. Her jacket and skirt are separated by two belts: one smaller, white, and wrapped more tightly around her waist; and the other larger, light gray, and draped asymmetrically, being at her right hip near the other belt and falling to lower on her thigh at the other side. Both belts have gold buckles roughly in the shape of two diamonds linked together; the upper buckle is also linked to a length of gold chain that hangs around her left side. A small golden rapier is attached to the lower belt. Sylvia wears a wrap skirt with elaborate gold trim, a red jewel at the corner, and gold pincer-shaped ornaments hanging from the trim. The section of the skirt around her right hip is the same lighter gray with white vertical stripes as the similar section of her jacket. She wears a black belted cuff around her left thigh and a pair of black high heels.

Sylvia also wears a black choker with a gold scorpion hanging from it as well as a black cape with gold trim and buttonholes, red lining, a high collar, and white tasseled shoulder pads attached. The bottom edge of the cape is torn in places, and the pattern of the trim becomes more elaborate closer to the bottom. Two silver chains are attached to both sides of the cape near the collar, and drape over Sylvia's chest.

## Story

### Sylvia

Sylvia, the guardian of Scorpio which is located between Libra and Sagittarius seems just like an ordinary school teacher but actually, she is the head of the underground mafia, 'Scorpioid' which took control over Scorpio in ages.

Sylvia regards loyalty and trust. She cherishes and loves her men.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The guardian of Scorpio punishes bastards who betray loyalty and trust as a man, by any means.

She does not like her name since it is far from strength or charisma.

The only person who knows her name is Libera, who have once arrested her with utmost secrecy.

Sylvia, as a guardian has 'Fascination' as a skill, and when her silver hair starts to get stained red, 'Fascination Smoke' spreads in time and she takes control over who inhales it.

She often teases Libera and feels a strange feeling of joy each time when Libera flips out in various ways. Personally, Sylvia thinks her as a cute friend of hers and doesn't seem to hate her that much.

Sylvia and the guardian of [BLOCKED] knew each other when they were yet humans. However, after she became a guardian she turned into a completely different person and Sylvia investigated her personality. As a result, she found out that the formation of [BLOCKED] has been changed significantly and that this is an [BLOCKED] that will be used to [BLOCKED].

Finally, Sylvia with her ability found out that this is for [BLOCKED]. When she was investigating the center of [BLOCKED], the entropy value reached a critical point and she faced [BLOCKED] which took all of her energy led her to fall asleep.

### GROUP OF TWELVE

Group of Twelve, the conference in which 12 guardians of constellation gather and discuss the order and the future of the universe on December 12th, 12:12 PM every year.

S feels unspeakable boredom about attending this banal conference again.

She heads out to the conference hall in front of Yggdrasil Temple which is the center of the universe using an interstellar transporter.

After seeing a familiar blue hair from distance, S soon talks to her.

"Isn't this the JUSTICE of the Supreme Court? You must have been free today?"

The guardian of Libra and the justice of the Universe Supreme Court, Libera got goosebumps all over.

Soon Libera opened her mouth,

"Hey~ aren't you the scorpion granny? Guessing from that terrible look on your face, you must have spent a hard time escaping from the dragnet or just got old?"

S took a little hit and responded in a sarcastic tone,

"Haha~ I have a lot of work at night unlike claws-kid who goes to bed early~ I gotta give some work to do for you, kid~"

Libera raged.

"Claws-kidd??? Take.. take it back!! Did you just call the Balance that keeps the beauty of perfect equilibrium, What? Claws? You are going to spend the rest of your life in jail when I arrest you."

S reacted to her with a small smile,

"I will look forward to it~ Ms. Claws~"

Other guardians have arrived during their friendly conversation and the conference began.

Entropy meter, also known as Entropium. Which lies in the middle of the conference hall, has a shape of a giant clock, and is a measure of disorder in the universe.

Recently, the entropy figure was unusually rising and Libera urged that it was caused by the scorpion who is making troubles all over the place and should deprive her guardian qualification.

The first astrological sign in the zodiac, the guardian of Aries, exhorted Libera to calm down.

"The spirit of guardian chooses the most suitable figure for each constellation as a guardian. The reason why she became a guardian is because she suits the position the most for the order of constellation, moreover the order of the universe. Libera, it must be hard for you as a Supreme Court justice to tolerate her actions that are out of the law's boundary, but please bear with me."

After they discussed how to remedy expanding chaos, The conference ended.

## Story

### Elaine

Elaine, Guardian of Sagittarius, is the ruler of Elves, the wise beings who share an ancient relationship with mysterious spirits. Bold she was, and yet quite shrewd. Her attitude towards her responsibility was one of the reasons of her peoples' admire. In addition to her queenly nature, she also had an extraordinary talent of memorizing. A combination of the splendid fist and her sensitivity allowed her to maintain any recollection with others. the grasp she showed as she handled diverse jeopardies, and her kind personality made the lady fair to look upon with reverence among the Elves from her realm.

Beside regarding her obligation as a queen, primarily her nature itself arouses a strong urge to her to protect others around her. Due to this characteristic, she always checks whether people around her took proper meals, and brings first-aid medicines and vitamins with her.

Her ability as a Guardian is a 'Protection'. 'Protection Barrier' summoned by her ability 'Protection', allows her to ward off diverse kind of assaults and threatening forces. Depending on its usage, 'Protection Barrier' also may heal other's illness.

Her weapon, Spirit magical bow, is a technological integration of the highly advanced civilization of Elves. The bow, as a protecting arm of Sagittarius and a great treasure of Elves, Servers its duty mainly by letting Elaine able to fire her ability of 'Protection' into a form of an arrow. While an application of Astro Alchemy at the level of design allows it to implement multiple-fires of arrows, Spiritual Technology, enables flexible management to diverse circumstances during swift movements by exceeding the law of physics and improving accuracy.

Wind Leaf, an Artifact used by the Guardian of Sagittarius for generations, enables its user to move swiftly to evade danger by controlling an air current while the Artifact itself surround around its user. Guardian of Sagittarius, leading an army of Elves, put an end to the Astral War in the past with other Guardians who willed a peace. After the war, with the guardian of Capricorn, the Guardian of Sagittarius proceeded research of Astro Alchemy and Spirit Technology, which led to a remarkable advancement of Elves civilization. The research also served as a basic foundation for the development of Interstellar Transporter in the future.

### Elf

Elaine, the young queen of Elves glided merrily yet gently along the breeze through giant leaves of deep forest.

As she flew, she peppily have regards to people passing by as always.

"Hi~! Lovely morning it is!"

She sounded more excited than usual due to an event she was expecting,

"A S-P-E-C-I-A-L lecture day! Such a long time since last time I met my cute students~"

Soon after she arrived at the academy, after a warm welcome from students and some pleasant chatting with them, she began her lecture. The lecture's topic was about the origin of Elves and the Astral War.

At the Vast Plain, where only immense forest existed, one day found a gathering of natural energy which soon gained a characteristic. It was a birth of Spirits. Soon afterward, some of the Spirits who longed for deeper communion with nature gained a physical form. It was the great ancestors of Elves. Along with their manner toward nature, Elves willed for pacific living even during the Astral War. However, since the war did not just manage to face an end, Elves changed their stance and joined the war with other Guardians who longed for peace. Elves' participation played as a salient role to an endgame.

"...That was the end of the Astral War, and after the war, we Elves made a big growth by getting a Technology using both Spirit Technology and Astro Alchemy with help from Lynn, Guardian of Capricorn and also a great scientist, and became a civilization of combination of nature and science like today~"

As she finished her lecture, she found few students looking tired., however, she grinned as she could know mpost of the other students were interested in her lecture by seeing their brightly glowing eyes.

"Was the lecture Fun? As our ancestors war so great, I wish all of you guys become a warm-hearted yet strong Elf like them! See you next time~"

"Yes you majesty!!"

After she left the academy, she patrolled over the city to check places where her bless of 'Protection' became weaker. As she found some places, weakened places were again filled with her beautiful voice as she gave a 'Blessing of the Spirits' by her 'Pray of songs'.

Soon after the patrol, she headed to the Temple of Sagittarius where the meeting with Elves Elders were held. The main topic of the meeting was about the 'Protection' becoming less sustainable than the past due to the loss of power of nature over time. Elaine suggested expanding the forest for Spirit's sufficient repose. Some raised concern at first, but soon her idea was accepted.

After the meeting Elaine took a deep breath and started to burst out,

"Elder Drang! About your problem with your digestive thing. Are you taking pills and nutrition well? Every day? On time?"

"Elder Roel! You really should work out! I see you getting hurt by a bit these days, that's all about working out!"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Alas. In some meaning, the 'real' meeting has finally begun.

Surely every Elf love Elaine the sweetheart, however at this moment, maybe some would show some doubt. Rumor has it that one Elder who was sick before got healthy and gained great evading skill by trying to avoid her nag. Elders showed their best attitude to not let Elaine down at first. However, as the nagging seemed to get longer, they hastily left the Temple.

With a sigh, she cheered herself up and cleaned the Temple using her Artifact, Wind leaf. After she finished cleaning she headed to her home.

## Lynn

### Personality

Silent, reticent and introvert.
Smart yet sometimes shows sloppy moments.

### Hobby and Specialty

Loves to dig into things which stimulate her curiosity.

*"Lynn is known as the Guardian of Capricorn and a scientist. She ended the Astral War in the past and have affected widely in diverse categories of science. However, since she have spent too much of her time on research, she seems uneasy to go along with unfamiliar people."*

— In-game description

**Lynn** is one of the characters in KALPA. She is unlocked by purchasing her pack in Pleiades.

## Character

### Name

Lynn's name means "lake" in Welsh and may occasionally refer to other bodies of water such as waterfalls and ponds.

### Appearance

Lynn has very short and layered light silver hair, with two longer pieces framing her face and reaching just past her shoulders. A pair of light brown horns protrude from her head, just above her goatlike ears. She wears a blue headdress with a detailed brown and gold circular pattern; another pair of horns, this set larger and dark brown, are attached either to the headdress or to her head. Her glasses, which are gold and semi-rimless, are connected to one of these horns by a chain. Lynn's eyes are cyan.

She wears a blue, gold, green, and brown patterned cape over top of a blue tunic with gold patterns and white scalloped trim, over top of a long-sleeved white shirt. An ornament in the shape of an eight-pointed star surrounded by a ring hangs from the collar of her shirt. Lynn also wears a white scarf with multicolored, star-patterned ends and dark gold tassels. Two more pieces of fabric similar to the ends of her scarf — and also with tassels — are attached to her shorts, which are black. She wears a pair of white socks with blue stripes and blue and gold star patterns that extend to just below her knees, as well as mismatched Mary Janes with gold accents; her left shoe is blue while her right shoe is black.

## Story

### Lynn

Scientist, researcher, Master of Astro Alchemy, Great Sage... All of these names belong to her.

Lynn, the Guardian of Capricorn, seems young by her look but no one knows her real age. Since she participated in the Astral War in 3201, it was fair enough to guess her age was over centuries. Rumors say that she found some mysterious object during her research, and that allowed her immortality.

Due to her immortality, she does not get attracted by ordinary subjects. Since she spends most of her time on her research, she feels uneasy to communicate with others.

Practically, Lynn is the one who ended the Astral War.

In the past, when Lynn was wandering in the universe for her research, she found a little 'Rift'. As she was sucked into the 'Rift', she witnessed glimpse of memory from [BLOCKED].

12 Trees of life, connected to Yggdrasil, the center of universe, grew up to each constellation. As time passed by, each civilization from each constellation made a remarkable progress through centuries. Growth, however, inevitably brought conflict. Then the conflict, led to chaos. And all of a sudden, ---Whooom---

... For an instance, she could not believe her own eyes. The 'Thing' from the chaos, though she was not even sure whether this 'Thing' came from the chaos, blew up the entire universe and civilizations into a dust in a blink of an eye. For the last moment, as she watched the complete demolish, she fainted black.

At the moment Lynn became conscious again, the 'Rift' was no longer in the sight. Her instinct alarmed madly. She had to stop it. First, based on the knowledge she gained from the 'Rift', she improved Capricorn's technology. Then she persuaded other neutral Constellations to finish the war. The persuasion was a success, and the war ended.

After the war, to keep the peace and order of the universe, she established a conference between 12 Constellations. Presumably, Capricorn was chosen as a leader of the conference as a result of an election at the first meeting. Furthermore, she invented an Interstellar Shift. Her invention enabled convenient travel to any place in the universe. This led to vivacious interchange between Constellations and brought cultural development with a long-lasting peace.

### The lab

Thump-

"... Ouch..."

Lynn fell down, slipped by stepping on a handkerchief wasted on the floor.

"Why is this handkerchief stumbling on the floor, is it you Ruby my child?"

Millennium Bird with a pair of gorgeous glowing red eyes, like a 'Ruby', answered innocently.

"Dunno my master. Why would I? Chirp."

"Hmm~ Is that so? If I get anything on my Trace detector.. I'll skin you."

"... Okay! I... I did it! Have a heart please?"

"Whoa... I can't even pull some prank here, chirp."

Though it would never sweat for real, Ruby literally felt a cold sweat running down it's spine.

Laboratory seemed like a complete mess by wasted research papers flying everywhere. However, Lynn never had a hard time searching for her stuff. Maybe it was the best for her...

Recently, though she unified the universe and tried to keep entropy rate from rising by holding Constellation Conference. However, despite her efforts, entropy has been increasing sharply and she was wondering why. As the pain from the fall faded away, she sat on her chair to continue her research.

"Conflicts, surely are effective entropy but.. maybe highly civilized society's complexity can also be a reason here. Ruby, bring me the 'Social system and Road network' from H-27 please? By the way, no more pranks today."

"Ly... Lynn boredom will kill me if you take away prank from my long, LONG eternal life, chirp..."

"I'm kinda busy here, please?"

"Okay..."

-Ring Ring-

After a while, ringing sound of doorbell filled the laboratory.

"Master Lynn! It's me Elaine!"

With a creeking sound, Ruby opened a old and rusty front door.

"Oh my, are you not going to leave this place forever? Please, I told you I found some nice real estate around here."

Due to the blatancy from the hallway, Lynn finally got aware of Elaine.

"Ah! Elaine, when did you arrive? Fufu~ Would you like a cup of tea?"

As Elaine shook her head with a small sigh,

"Lynn, today I came with moving center people to finish this mess. Come on in!"

"It's a great honor meeting you, Guardian of Capricorn! Wow, what a mess here... Well, I cannot just pass through our great Guardian live in such a mess like this. You are the one who finished the war!"

"Huh?! H.. Hello... Ni.. Nice to meet you..! I.. have quite a lot to take so..."

"Master. You need some help, chirp?"

"Your luggage can be handled by town's people. Well, actually they have arrived here now. Just give us a word!"

Lynn's sight followed his finger pointing outside the door and landed on people waiting outside her house. After a few moments of panicked movements, finally she rushed to her room with a short scream.

"AHHHHH"

-Bang-

Her room's door slammed shut.

... After some awkward silence, Ruby opened her beak.

"Master seems quite tired today, chirp. Come again later."

As Elaine stepping back from the door, she muttered with a wistful voice on the door.

"Master Lynn! I'll come again soon! Please be ready then!"

— In-game description

**Lana** is one of the characters in KALPA. She is unlocked by purchasing her pack in Pleiades.

## Character

### Name

Lana's name has multiple meanings, including "rock" (from the Irish Gaelic name Alana), "light" (from the Russian name Svetlana), and "afloat; calm as still waters" (in Hawaiian).

### Appearance

Lana has short, layered bright blue hair and blue eyes. She wears three hair clips on the right side of her head; from top to bottom, they are: a pink bow, a yellow crown, and an ordinary pink clip.

She wears a loose medium blue T-shirt adorned with a rainbow over her right breast and a smiley face and bunny near the hem.

Finally, Lana wears a thin black choker and a pair of black headphones with bright blue accents around her neck; a long cord is attached to the latter.

## Story

### Lana

Regardless of fields and ages, Lana's name is common sense.

As Lana serves as a Guardian of Aquaris with her power of 'Übermensch', she gained her title of 'Lana the Indomitable'.

However Lana did not gain her title 'Lana the Indomitable' only by her powers as a Guardian. Her legendary performance as a Pro Player of Rhythm Game, especially the undefeatable play at the official tournament of 'KALPA' made people to go ape and granted her title of 'Indomitable'.

Despite games developed with advanced technology overwhelmed a game market, 'KALPA' has been loved by many by keeping their identity and originality of play style using keyboard. Lana stood as an undefeatable champion in this game for ages and no other players were able to stop her. Some people thought this unbelievable performance was possible due to her inhumane reflexes and control from her Guardian ability 'Übermensch'. However, the fact that she conquered the professional world of 'KALPA' before becoming a Guardian refuted their suspicion.

Being good at games was not the only reason why she was popular. Despite her enviable appearance, her professional attitude toward game and active communication with her fans as a gamer and broadcaster left many people no choice but to love her.

### Broadcaster

Lana has won!

That concentration she showed at the end was amazing!

When Lana made few mistakes in the mid-game, I really thought she would finally lose to Hong this time. But after that, the whole atmosphere has changed! She nailed the last song without making a single mistake! Hong didn't stand a chance.

Lana! Come here and share us your moment.

(Lana holding her hand with a V-shape to her face, winking cutely, filled with joy of victory.)

"Hold your cheer now, I'll be back again!"

A temporary pause.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh What was wrong with me? What…"

Lana, who was watching last year's KALPA official championship video with viewers, blushed with an embarrassment.

-Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

-Sera sponsored 5,000 won.-

-What's the big deal, Lana was cute. HYPERS. Kekw.

"Oh, Sera, thank you for your support! Are you sure? That's a relief. I felt so good back then! So I just overreacted, but after that, I felt like I shouldn't have done it, and I was so embarrassed and... It's the first time ever to see myself in this video."

After that, she continued to chat with her viewers.

"Let's see... The comments... Hmm? What I said back then was cool? Thank you! I was so happy and confident at that moment!"

"Lana, how come you've never lost a single official match...? I don't know? Maybe 'cause I'm too good?"

-aquabottle sponsored 1,500 won.-

-Working as Guardian and professional gamer and broadcaster must be a hard job... as far as I know, she was just a broadcaster before, I wonder how she became a guardian-

"Thank you, aquabottle! When I first became a guardian, I was just so confused. Lol. I was just having fun broadcasting and winning official competitions when I wasn't that famous, but suddenly a government guy came to me and asked whether I can become a Guardian or not... So I asked him isn't a Guardian's job's a heavy load. He told me that there won't be much change in my life, but just need to participate in mandatory events that don't even hold a few times a year. So I said yes, and I became a guardian! An ancient temple, like, an ancient temple? I think I went to a similar place to that, but, uh, the details of becoming a Guardian and all stuffs are classified... Let's move on!"

-birdy sponsored 2,000 won.-

-Show me your Guardian ability-

"Thank you birdy~ Ability...? Actually it's illegal to use it beside public purpose but, they said little bit is fine... so okay. Wait a minute!"

Lana switched broadcasting screen to her cell phone camera and faced it toward a wall in her room. There were many marks of bare fist punches on the practice wall.

-Bam!

After she took a deep breath, she slammed the wall. At that moment,

-chuck-chock-chucking

A hole was made at the point where her fist landed, and the debris from the crack around it fell.

"Huh? Maybe it's been a while since I've used it... I can't control my strength. Oh my, I'll get accused for this..."

Viewers comforted Lana, chatting, "POG", or "That's okay". Though it should be a surprising scene to normal people, but it was just a usual happening to viewers of Lana's broadcasting since every time she fails the all-perfect mission, she slams her desk to pieces then replace the broken desk and keyboard.

After that, Lana continued to chat with her viewers until the end of the broadcast, and that day ended.

The day's happening was another chance to solidify her title as the 'Lana the Indomitable'.

The Guardian of Pisces has been held by people with beautiful sounds for generations, and their songs can "Heal" other people.

Many people visit her, craving her voice for healing. Even after the remedy, patients become fan of her and continue to visit her.

As the stars of life in Pisces lost their lands and were covered with ocean far in the past, people of Pisces had to adapt to the life under water for their survival. They evolved to breath under water, and change their body to enable more flexible movement. Later these people were called 'Merpeople', and Miya is one of them. 'Rapture', a gigantic subaquatic city bult by 'Merpeople' became on eof the most beautiful places of Universe.

### Valhalla

Hair flows through air, as a wave playing along shore.

Voice echoes through night, as tide rises on breeze.

Under the deep sea stands the 'Valhalla', the World's biggest house of opera.

Miya began to sing.

Dream, some may say, as they sank under cozy daydream.

Violence, some may say, as they soaked through drastic reverie.

Remedy, some may say, as they drowned under serenity.

All within the voice along the hall of 'Valhalla'.

As a song faded, sweet melody beholding their ego slowly faded like an ebb tide.

Change was sudden.

As a reality began to seep through their skin,

As a high tide returns from its recession,

Fierce tide of exultation stroke violently on audience.

A vortex of joy swirled around the audience, leaving them unable to get a grasp on their ego.

Perception of time.

The sense itself felt chaotic.

Despite the chaos, the swirling became weaker.

Became calm.

Eventually, ceased.

At the moment when audience finally notices all was over, Miya was bowing on the stage.

Lost their words, audience could not do a thing, but to give a thunderous applause.

* "Since the past, the people of Taurus valued nobility and desire. As the degree and direction of the desire differed depending on the generation, those characteristics melted through their social features and the structures of the time. The Golden City Elive is a noble and beautiful city that shows such cultural characteristics. Beauty not only showed outside but also shined delicately inside."
* "There once was a Celestials. One of their two wings was dark as a raven, the other was white as a swan. However, since the weight of both brightness and darkness was too heavy for a single being, they were soon separated. Though they were separated in two, the Angel and the Demon, their bond was tight. Long after they became Gemini."
* "Long ago, the people of Cancer craved love and lived only for love. Since they were too emotional, if they failed gaining love, they eventually took their precious lives. Such characteristic was a disaster to the people of Cancer. Soon after, to overcome such jeopardy, they began to mechanize themselves to control their emotions. Now only mechanized people remain in Cancer."

A region without tribe was a lawless area itself. Over time, two ideologies over certain circumstances arose and soon collided. One proposed that a thoroughly controlled constitutional nation is necessary. The other proposed that flexibility of life is essential. After the Great War, they reconciled and are helping each other for a better future."
* "Since ancient times, Elves of Sagittarius lived a grateful life, appreciating all around them. Vast meadow and thick woods were truly blessed gifts they should protect. They valued harmony with their surroundings. Such a lifestyle is the origin of their long-lasting youth."

She is a living legend who has studied in diverse fields to a considerable level and has led the history from past to present."
