Dimensional vortex? I dunno. You sort of brought that issue on yourself.

@Kristia

Wait, who is this other Mara?

Let's also take this to General Discussion.

Also, good news. I found all my posts for ATWAG. I might post tomorrow, depending on whether or not people need to post for me. If so, then I'll need to type up ten sub-posts within my post.

[Kristia]

uh.. people, I think we got a sittuation

Well I got one in the story, now I got 2 versions of the same character, one in the palace and one in Alchyon

How big are these blade fighters again? They seem a little larger than I imagined.

Eternal Galaxy Project

Yea...
So the theme dictates the animals in each system/planet
...and thats where my imagination comes short.

Oh and in tech I think I figured out now why the Blade series of Fighters were feared by enemies: they're interceptors.
For the longest time I kept placing them in multi-role category... But it makes more sense to say they're specialized interceptors (high speed and long range)
Their strengths are speed and firepower. They move like lightning and hit like a freight train. They rely on element of surprise and a spotter like a sniper almost. The spotter locks onto a target for the interceptor. The interceptor hits the target then gets out immediately. It's the equivalent of getting hit by a cruise missle... Except one that can strike multiple times and engage in combat if needed.
But there's the flaws: it sacrifices armor for speed. Standard guns are weak compared to other fighters. It relies on missiles to kill a target quickly. Easy to block if you know when and where it's coming.
The Blade series does have improved armament and agility in combat but even worse in armor. Aion's fighter, Eclipse Blade, has modifications that allow it to carry extra armor and ordinance so it can serve other roles, but can jettison the extra equipment to go back to being an interceptor. The Nova Engine allows Blades to boost speed and shield strength tenfold but at risk of overheat.
Blade series fighters carry 3-7 engines (usually an even number of boosters are included, where of the range 2-6 could be boosters.)
* Nova Engine is a power source, not used in propulsion.

Armament typically includes
2x Rapid fire guns
4x SPARROW Missile pods (50 each) - short range
4x radar guided missiles - long range
3x Gaia seeking missiles - medium range

Special Equipment
1x BREAKER bomb - "Cruiser Dive bombing"
1x Rail Cannon - nose mounted
2-4x additional rapid fire/cannon style guns (replaces SPARROW Pods)

Average performance stats to be determined.

@Cucoo

That could work. That would allow us some leniency with Dua and Duon.

[Cucoo5]

Eternal Galaxy Project

Yeah thats the thing... Dua and Duon are 1) Sister planets and therefore identical and 2) Dua (where the Manor is) was nicknamed by Humans "New Earth."
If I said Helios's theme was desert planets, these two don't match.

Celestora System, where Alcyon is, was to be the aquatic theme. Egale system has Senarious which is Forest/Jungle w/mountains and plainsand very little water. Sol Incineron has Inopia... Lava/fire. Venion -> Nox -> darkness theme. Nexion -> Sedes Imperii -> Sky theme.

...unless I say Helios is the opposite of Venion and is light themed...

I would guess for Dua, due to the large amount of water, has a lot of aquatic and amphibian type life. Many ecosystems would develop around it, and a reliance on water forms.

[S121]

@Mima

That's a little like what I was thinking, trying to approach it like the ecosystems of Earth.


@Cucoo

What about Dua and Duon?

As for whichever planet the HoT is located on, would it be sea-like? I'm just assuming, due to the sea around the manor.

[Cucoo5]

i havent really decided yet on appearance of Irians.
Probably in between...

For the animals, kinda what Mima said but I have more...
Each system has a theme if ya recall. Those themes dictate the animals.
...still need to decide a more solid theme for Helios...
Right now I've been thinking desert theme... But... Dua and Duon...

I think the wildlife would vary planet to planet, ecosystem to ecosystem.

[S121]

@Cucoo

Looks good. ;p

As for the Irians, to what degree are they beastlike? Are they like.. ehh... (gotta think of an example)... like Renamon or a werewolf, or like Ran or Momiji?

Also, regarding the non-terrestreal animal appearance, what does the wildlife of the Venturian Galaxy look like?

Starla's Haunt

"What's the matter?"
The words rattled through Starla's mind as if they were trying to tear it down. Kiara stood patiently for an answer, worry plastered all over her face. That genuine caring, Kiara had plenty of it to go around. "You don't have to hide it y'know? I mean... We're here for the same reason. We're all here trying to help each other survive. To survive and defeat the Nihiliods. We've all lost someone to them..."
"<Vatian word for shut-up>" Starla barked out the word like it was poison in her lungs. She snapped around to the black-haired nymph with fiery contempt. "You don't know me! Nihiliod this... Nihiliod that... <Vatian word for by the divine>." The anger in her voice soon dwindled as she quickly calmed down after her outburst. "...People forget that before the Nihiliods there was such a thing as normal problems. Though I guess they are the normal problems of the galaxy now... Overshadowing us all... Making previous problems insignificant." Starla hung her head as if it weighed too much for her to keep it up. "Old problems, cultural differences, social norms... Cheats and liars, men and women alike." She shook her head as if to clear away a memory she would rather forget. "The past <Vatian derogative>. I keep trying to turn away... Trying to ignore it... But it's still there!"
"Then don't turn away. Accept it."
"What?"
Kiara smiled sweetly. "If you live in the past, then you 're already gone. If you live in the future, you haven't arrived yet. If you live in the present, you're here."
Starla looked at the cheerful nymph as if she was some sort of strange creature. Before Starla could say anything, Kiara continued, "Study the past, live now, prepare for the future. Makes things easier, yeah?"
Starla smiled at Kiara's simple view of life. "If only it were that easy..."
"Oh but it is! All you have to do is..." Kiara prepared to strike here signature "cute" pose, "...is Nympha~!"

...true, Animus might make more sense but saying Animus/Anima Energy sounds strange...

First term that comes to my mind every time I think spirit is Umbra... but I'm using that term for a Demonarc variant.

And part of me wants to avoid Ether Energy because then it would really seem like I'm ripping off Xenoblade.
...even though I like the way it sounds...

...
Unless instead of saying Gaia Energy is synonymous with Aura energy I just say they are the two separate energies...

***

On Irians
Physically they appear beastlike. Bipedal.
Abilities are also similar to that of beasts, heightened senses for example.
Mental capabilities varies, mostly they function by instincts.

I'm not really certain how to approach this because I don't want to reference animals of earth. I don't really want to reference anything that we know.

@S121

Ghost- Exspiravit
Spirit- Spiritus

But instead of spirit I suggest using the term soul that is translated as Anima
