Coshima

Coshima is a planet of the Virasana Empire, only recently settled by a large logging expedition.

## Climate

* two moons
* only two narrow strips of habitable climate, polar and equatorial regions are mostly barren
* giant forests with immensely large trees
* large, extremely swift apex predators on the forest floor
* Most wildlife found among the treetops
* Settlers live in rough but breathtaking treetop villages

## History

* medium N'Ptalini population, very diverse settlers
* First contact with a Felid happened here in 2278 ET
* almost exclusively commoners

## Culture

As a recently settled planet, Coshima gets its music predominantly through radio - its DJs being celebrities of highest rank.

Food is local but simple, though a local cuisine still needs time to develop.

Woodworking is a local art form (duh), though the real eye openers are the treehouses built by the settlers - unique soaring structures unlike anything the empire has ever seen.

The only kind of sports that has already developed a significance on Coshima is - you guessed it - tree climbing.

## Fauna and Flora

* Tower Trees - large trees, average 200m. Tower Tree forrests coverl almost 70% of Coshima's landmass. They do not gather water through their roots but along canals on top of their leaves and branches, leading all precipitation towards the trunk where it's stored. Due to the immense waterpressure building up at the base of the trunk, old or damaged trees can explode catastrophically. Their bark is loose and crumbly, acting as a natural fire retardant. Inner Tower Tree wood is particularly hard and tough, sought out for various technical uses. Water reservoirs within the trees are used by settlers as well, even though there is an entire ecosystem living in those lightless pits. Settlers do not cut down living trees, but harvest the still enormous stumps of dead ones.
* Treekraken
* Quillbears
* Superpossums
* Deeraroos
* Bloodwhales

* Blue Scarabs
* Pteroclaws
* Lentilslugs
* Squatfrogs

Indigo

## Personal Information

### Eye Color

Indigo as seen in "Locks - Page 12". Presumably, blue eyes before turning Indigo

## Associates

### Affiliates

Madam PresidentThe Judge of Inverse (Ylil)

**Indigo** is one of the characters in Gloomverse with a rare case of being colored a certain color. He works as a DJ at Prisma Dance and has a speech impediment, specifically being a lisp. He plays a small part in damaging Wallis Gloom's reputation but is not a true antagonist of the story.

## Appearance

He has white hair and indigo skin; he has a gap in his teeth, explaining his lisp. He wears a hat as almost everyone in Gloomverse, an asymmetrical hybrid of a button-shirt and a short coat, normal jeans with a belt, and thick elevator shoes. A huge majority of his clothing is highly saturated indigo with black and white details and features a white "I" as a button, and printed on his shoes and belt. He has fingerless gloves, one being a normal one that goes up to the elbow while the other is a simple glove with a black/white border. The most unique things on him are his sunglasses, which are black shades with indigo "I's" on each lens.

## Personality

Indigo acts as if he is cool to be around, and it seems at first that he does not realize that's why he doesn't have a lot of friends. He seems to enjoy annoying others and acts as if he does not care when he is confronted. His personality is comparable to that of Fresh, except Fresh is just imitating what he sees around him.

When earning a date with a girl, however, he begins to act anxious and nervous, as seen during Chapter 21 where he dies inside in the presence of Ylil.

## Backstory

During his date with the Judge, he is revealed to be Stratoversian. The creator, CrayonQueen, also mentioned that his childhood was just like other Stratoversians and that the only difference was that he had left the country instead of using his newfound magic to visit his parents. It can be summarized as choosing freedom over his family.

## What did he do?

In Chapter 8, Madam President calls him and orders Indigo to help her ruin Wallis Gloom's reputation. Indigo agrees, and later on, in the Cake girl Arc, he breaks into Wallis's dressing room during the magic show to search for valuable secrets and ends up being confronted by "Random Guard", who is named Evets. The guard is suddenly distracted by the commotions being caused by Cake Girl and earns a punch to the face by Indigo. It is then revealed that Evets is Inversian hiding behind make-up, and Indigo leaves him writhing in pain to expose the information to the public later.

As seen in Chapter 16, The Waking World, Madam President's plan worked as the public is seen freaking out and makes nonsensical conspiracies up about how Wallis is working with the Judge because he was hiding an Inversian.

Although Indigo helped ruin Wallis' reputation, he's not a true antagonist, for he only briefly assisted in damaging the protagonists.

GPC Tempest

Die M9 Tempest ist die Ordonanzmaschinenpistole der GPC-Truppen und der Overwatch.

Die Kombination aus Durchschlagskraft und hoher Feuerrate machen sie zu einer anständigen Kurzdistanzwaffe. Besonders die hohe Kadenz, die Feuerstöße mit 5 statt der üblichen 3 Schüssen ermöglicht, macht sie extrem gefährlich. Allerdings ist sie aufgrund ihrer Präzision nur auf sehr kurze Distanzen gut verwendbar. Für die üblichen Kampfsituationen gegen dafür nicht ausgebildete Kriminelle ist sie jedoch trotzdem meist vollkommen ausreichend.

Die M9 Tempest ist ausschließlich über ADA-Credits für die entsprechenden Einsatzkräfte erhältlich.

Excalibur II

The Excalibur II is a human spaceship, the current flagship of the Imperial Fleet and one of the best known vessels of the Empire, particularly renowned for being the only current vessel capable of superluminal flight without use of a Mandala.

She was designed by Lady Beverly Corusant and assembled over Malicorn. While incorporating mostly human technology, she also sports Nosoti technology, among others allowing her FTL-travel without use of a Mandala.

She is renowned for being one of the most beautiful ships ever build, and for being one of the most user-friendly in existence.

If not on an active mission, she is commanded by Megara, the resident Evolving Intelligence, who customarily acts as the ship's first officer in the rank of Commader of the Imperial Fleet.

## Design

* a rounded lentil shape with six finridges, rounded on the lower half and pointed on top, vaguely reminiscing of a flattened lotus bud (or a dollop of whipped cream, if less flattering).
* roughly a mile in diameter and 250m high
* lower half dotted with countless modular drives, often giving the impression of the entire lower half being a single engine
* upper half with many curving ridges, offering large panoramic views and elegantly incorporating ports and technical equipment.

## Comissioning

* formally comissioned by Empress Carlotta Almaviva
* Nosoti involvement led to much disgruntlement about 'independence', though the ship's stellar perfomance quickly outshone every doubt

Haakon Cournicova

Haakon Cournicova is a human noble of House Cournicova and one of the currently active Lotus Knights.

## Appearance and Iconography

Tall, sinewy and athletic, Haakon Cournicova is practically oozing good health. Wearing his blond, wavy hair just long enough it can fall into his green eyes, he is best known for his dazzling, roguish smile and throaty laugh.

His iconic outfit consists of fawn colored suede pants and a white linen shirt, high boots and occasionally a fitting fawn vest, all of it complemented with a forrest green cape or similar hooded cloak.

The image of a green hood, with a sparkling green eye smiling out from the shadows underneath, is one of the best-selling motives of his Lotus Knight merchandize line.

## Youth

Born in 2251 ET as the third son of Duchess Asa Cournicova, Duchess of Svansgard and Princess of the House, Haakon shared the fate of all Cournicova men - he was locked up and trained for a life of good looks and obedience. It is unknown when his powers manifested for the first time, but his mother and sisters were well aware of them long before the Emperor officially took an interest in him.

Anecdotal evidence points to a chance meeting between Emperor Elisander and Haakon Cournicova when both were trying to sneak out of the Imperial Palace at night. Impressed by the young man's skill and precise moral compass, he is said to have kept taps on Haakon for the years to come.

## Lotus Knight

* a strong Psion and one of the rare Voidwalkers
* considered one of the most eligible bachelors of the Empire

Knighted in 2272 ET at the age of 21, the earliest it was proper for his mother to leave him out of her care, he also was one of he few Lotus Knights that entered the Emperor's service without first serving a year as another Knight's squire.

## Private Life and Public Image

Haakon is well known for his handsome looks and disarmingly boyish, affable manners. Regularly mocked and coveted as the Empire's favorite son-in-law, the public perception has a surprisingly large blind spot when it comes to his psionic abilities, to the point of completely ignoring the fact that he's a psion at all.

Sir Haakon is unmarried, and has repeatedly stated that he'd prefer his marital status to remain unchanged for a long time to come.

Since 2275 ET, rumours about him seeing Brother Jon, a Jansahar confessor of the Emperor's Island shrine, abound.
Battle of Kalidor

The Battle of Kalidor was the final military operation of the Black-and-White War, mostly taking place around the Kalidor space station in 2233 ET.

During the battle, the forces of House Grebenstein were almost completely destroyed, the current Prince of the House among the fatalities. Those losses convinced the remaining leadership of House Grebenstein to declare surrender, which was initially not accepted by House Ndewane. Only after imperial troops blocked the Ndewane forces from invading Shiraz, an armistice was called.

Nevertheless, the Battle of Kalidor was the last significant military operation of the war, and is widely lauded for keeping much of the fighting away from Shiraz, its population and priceless biosphere.

## Snippets

* Among others, the Pebble rammed the Grebenstein battlecruiser Hohenschwangau

Blood Magic

Blood magic is a supernatural power that makes use of the lifeforce in every being to create supernatural effects. Its use attracts demonic entities and is thus considered a mortal sin, punishable by death, by most religions and governments.

## The Tempting Arts

Unlike psionics with their biological and theurgy with their spiritual component, there is no apparent requisite for the ability to work blood magic. There are well-documented cases from schoolchildren to nursing-home patients who all developed the skill without any discernible previous contact, simply by learning of its existence.

Whether blood magic is a demonic temptation that is innate to all life or if it is a demon-unrelated skill only followed by demons is hotly debated. Recent research hints at a connection between blood magic and the powers inherent to any soul, with the soul being the link towards demonic entities, but these theories are far from being confirmed.

## Demonic Attraction

The prolonged local use of blood magic is proven to attract demonic attention, to the point that the local reality becomes permanently damaged and can become a portal for demons to pass through into our world. For lack of a better world, this phenomenon is called a *blutsenke* (grebenstein, lit. 'blood sink' or 'blood wallow').

## Jansahar

Most Jansahar have at least a basic education in blood magic, as their work with life and its energy are close neighbours. Some say that this is a clear sign of demonic corruption throughout that church, beginning with the lore Tagore Virasana pulled from demonic rituals, which the church calmly and steadily denies.
Empathy

The power or reading and manipulating other peoples' emotions through Psionics is called Empathy.

More often than any other psions, empaths suffer from troubles differentiating between their own emotions and those of their targets, and are rarely able of great feats of power.

Empaths with the right mix of ego, emotional health and subtlety, though, can become truly formidable foes, able to sneak past almost any defenses and turn enemies against each other. See Combat Empaths and OPP Field.
Entertainment in the Virasana Empire

Entertainment in the Virasana Empire is a varied as the people within. Sports, movies, literature, music, TV series and theatre make the bulk of the countless genres enjoyed by over 200 billion people. Most entertainment is produced and diseminanted via the TCG, the Town Criers Guild, with various factions financing different programs.

## Sports

Hoverball and Gladiator Fights are the most common popular sports, with Rugby, Racing and Athletics not far behind. Countless other sports are locally popular, too, like the incomparable Swine Swinging of Malicorn.

### Some noteworthy Sports include

 Ga'Un Gladiator Fights Hoverball Imperial Hoverball League Swine Swinging
## Movies

On the worlds with higher tech-levels, movies are the foremost entertainment. On other worlds, the same stories are licensed as theatre or even puppet plays.

### Some noteworthy Movies include

 Demon of Hagermarsh Windmines of Bora Bora
## Music

Music is an all-pervasive part of Imperial life, its styles varying as wildly as the people and races of the Empire.

### Some noteworthy Bands include

Suicide Ants

 Bobby and the Beetle Eaters Death, Taxes and 4 out of 5 Botanists
## Literature

With literacy virtually restricted to the commoners and nobility, written entertainment isn't as widely spread as other media, but nevertheless it carries a lot of weight still.

## TV series

TV series are more or less limited to worlds with a sufficient tech-level, but there they command an astonishing share of the public imagination.

### Some noteworthy TV Series include

 Even Nobles Cry I believe in Miracles Ivory Tower Red Ox Tower Tribe Red Rats of the RostockAlso: MaliCops, Boardroom Cavenieau, Grinny Pig Adventures (Cartoon), Saint Cornelius (Cartoon)

## Theatre

Theatre plays pick up where movies cannot reach the population - most popular movies are licensed as theatre plays, as puppet or gola plays, and spread throughout the farthest corners of the Empire.

## Opera

While rare, Opera by many is still considered a pinnacle of human culture, and holds a particularly high place in many cities.
Archbishops

Archbishop is the title of the highest-ranking member of the human church on a given planet. Usually, only one of the three temples ordains an archbishop. While not formally claiming rulership, archbishops carry great social and political weight and are often highly visible public figures.

## Some notable Archbishops include

 Father Caradini Saint Cornelius Saint Nicodemus
Grand Amadeum

The Grand Amadeum was a museum in Syrah, dedicated to the life and legacy of Virasana Empress Amadeus Grebenstein.

## Snippets

* hosted a large collection of Empress Amadeus related artifacts, including a spectacular hat collection
* destroyed in a fire that followed a Ndewane raid on the museum during the Black-and-White War
* while most artifacts were destroyed, some were looted and are now on display in the antropological museum of Thebaia, while others were rescued and are now displayed in the New Amadeum at the same location.

Garunalia

The Garunalia is a traditional N'Ptalini holiday in honour of Cor'Garun, spanning three days on the first weekend of February.

The Garunalia are celebrated all across the empire, though with widely varying styles. Traditionally, the days are spent with competitions of various kind, most of them centered around physical or martial prowess, while the nights are spent drinking, storytelling and with the pursuit of carnal conquests.

Since the Edict of Saint Cornelius, the Garunalia have become an official holiday of the empire. While still less humans than N'Ptalini actively take part in the celebrations, their numbers are increasing year by year.

As Cor'Garun is also the God of Fertility, participating in encounters blessed by one of his priests has a high chance of resulting in pregnancies. In very rare but well-documented cases, this can lead to pregnancies between normally incompatible species and even in genders normally not capable of childbearing. Quite a few half-N'Ptalini stem from such occasions.
BattleClaw (song)

**BattleClaw** is an intro of BattleClaw. It is sung by ARTIST.

Ghosts

Ghosts are a supernatural lifeform encountered all across the Virasana Empire. They are echoes of strong emotions, desires or convictions left after a person has deceased, and will carry on with their agenda until they can let go.

An important distinction of ghosts is their single-minded motivation towards one goal, unlike spirits who only gain an agenda once their status quo is disturbed. As all ghosts are based on an unresolved, usually emotional issue, presenting them with a credible resolution or helping them achieve their goal will invariably dissolve the ghost.

Despite appearing highly intelligent and capable, ghosts are not considered sentient. Unlike spirits, no instances of ghosts gaining a soul and Full Personhood Status are known.

Anyway

The Anyway is the name of the avenue leading from Serin  spaceport to The Lair. With the countless buildings lining its sides, it is considered by many the only city proper on Serin.

## History

Originally, human settlements on Serin had been single, fortress-like mansions and towers in the wild, protected from the constant assault of wildlife by massive energy screens. With those mansions unconnected by roads, all transport had been organized by air travel.

But when off-world trade became more and more important and House Quetzal rose to prominence, they decided that there had to be at least one ground connection from the spaceport to the Lair, the central palace and official seat of the head of the House. So a wide swath of jungle was cut down, at tremendous financial and human costs, until a proper road went from port to palace in a single straight line of almost fifty miles.

It didn’t take long for the inhabitants of Serin to realize that on both sides between the road and the energy screens, there was enough room to build a small house. As cheap, protected building ground was a thing unheard of on Serin, it only took a few years until the entire length of the road was settled.

Today, the buildings lining the road are stacked like sardines in a tin, piling as high as the inward-curving shields allowed. With no natural landmarks along the road through an endless sea of green, the houses had to become landmarks by themselves. Consequentially, a breathtaking riot of building styles, colors, lights and advertising lined the road, with each new building project trying to be even more iconic than its neighbours.

Donum Anima, Donum a Dei

The Edict of the Godgiven Soul (*Donum Anima, Donum a Dei*) is a Verata bull issued in 2279 ET after the events of The Demon Prince of Khadân.

It states that any soul is a gift directly from God, and therefore no mortal has any right to assume if a creature is worthy of such a gift or not, and that there cannot be general rules wether any sort of creature can be souled or not. In consequence, any creature able to express the desire to be tested for a soul has the unalienable right to be tested for a soul, and to be truthfully attested if souled or not.

This *bannbulle* cemented and streamlined the process of attesting souls to non-traditional sentients like EIs, Souled Demons or similar. It is often an integral part of the process of gaining Full Personhood Rights.

Humans, N'Ptalini and Felids are generally considered souled.

Blocking

The ability to actively block Supernatural Powers via Psionics is called Blocking.

Oddly enough, blockers only appear in the Virasana Empire in significantly weaker versions than other expressions. A blocker strong enough to pose any real obstacle to another psion so far is a theoretical occurance only.

Ex Edicto Ostracismo Cibi Animarum

Ex Edicto Ostracismo Cibi Animarum, or the 'Condamnation of the Soul Eaters', is a joined *bannbulle* of Temple Verata, Temple Belligra and Temple Jansahar.

Based on the rulings of the first Triecclesial Court in 1767 ET, it is the first joined declaration of all three churches, and details the damnation of every act that damages or destroys souls, or hinders their natural passing. In consequence, it effectively makes Blood Magic and Demonism (including any form of soultrade) offenses almost always punishable by death.

This *bannbulle* is widely considered the first major step in the reconciliation of the three temples, laying the groundwork for today's peaceful co-existence of their beliefs.

Hagermarsh

Hagermarsh is a remote village in the northern regions of Leichnam, in the region of Schimmelbach. While most of its inhabitants work in the fishing industry, it is also a trading point for the surrounding logger camps. Snail farming is not a not a noteworthy part of the towns economy, as the local climate is too cold for the larger breeds Leichnam is known for. Mostly the town sells Scribba Lobsters and Picca shrimp, plus a small number of local fresh fish.

Despite its relative insignificance, Hagermarsh is well known for being the site of the events of of the Demon of Hagermarsh.

## Layout

* Eastcliff contains the harbour and most of the town's workshops.
* Westcliff and Redcopse are mostly residential, with Redcopse being less densely populated.
* Highfields is a mix of meadows and farms with occasional patches of forrest in between.

Demonism

Demonism is a supernatural process that barters for power with extradimensional entities aka demons.

While demonism in itself isn't an 'evil' act, the demons contacted through this power will demand some sort of soultrade in exchange for a vast array of powers and services, therefore leading immediately into territory covered by the *bannbulle* Ex Edicto Ostracismo Cibi Animarum. Usually though, demonists are summarily executed under all jurisdictions.

### Blood Magic

Demonism differs to Blood Magic in so far as the former is mostly dealing with powers granted by other entities, while the latter is an inherent power of each souled being. Why demons are attracted to uses of Blood Magic has so far not been sufficiently explored.
