_{but the possibilities this could add...}

Tbh it does conflict with why Ignis has to survive when it comes to managing the Beast of Time. Although I could pull a twist where Ignis was pretending to be this man named Grey when she raided the Dovakhan. That man might help to add another personality type to counteract Ignis's stuborness.

I suggest you to have your story/script/whatever solid and ready, then you can do tweaks here and there.

EG is more like a liquid that I'm slowly freezing into a solid.
Because Phoenix wasn't necessarily a part of the original plan for where I wanted to end EG, it's the most fluid part of it as the ending is still not fixed, And I don't even know what I want to do for a beginning...

If I were to refocus my efforts on anything would be the beginning of Phoenix and how it would play out.

To contrast, I have a fairly solid idea of how "Light's Shadow" starts (which is the very first part that takes place in Era of the Dawn) With a much tighter "schedule" of events.

Meanwhile Phoenix still feels bareboned. I'm starting to add events into it that are a bit more specific but I don't really have a good start point for it.

I've established that Ignis might have done some pirating during her time outside of Venturia and ticked off a faction which... I'm actually reconsidering its name and information as I want something of different effect than... Dovakhan...

What Ignis was doing with regards to these facts could establish how Phoenix actually starts.

With the New Editor I can now paste in as-is the Encyclopedia~
So I thought I would drop this in here for now.
Ask me about things so I can prioritize what to fill in.

Spoiler:

Void	A Caeles that has successfully merged with the void. Also known as the Unknown. All information about the Void had been lost, however fragments remain, such as the knowledge that it exists and that it was a colleague of Venturia who had been working on the VOID Project.
Caeles	The original inhabitants of the Eternal Galaxy. Beings that, through massive technological advances, became extraordinarily powerful. The creators of the GAIA Computer, VOID Project, and the dimension Heaven’s Forge.
Eternal Galaxy	The English translation of the name of the galaxy that the Caeles inhabited. Would later become known as the Venturian Galaxy.
Nihiliods	Parasitic creatures that were spawned from the Void. They consist of a material that technically does not exist. Through adaptation, this material gains properties that allow the Nihiliods to interact with the plane of existence. Nihiliods are capable of adapting to any threat. Due to the fact that they are interconnected via a hive mind, what one knows, they all know. > Larvae Phase: small, mite-like in appearance, about half the size of a golf ball and capable of becoming paper thin. They burrow into a host by first numbing the area of entry and then slipping in by flattening themselves. Sometimes multiple larvae will enter a host and go dormant, using it as a transport. Nihiliod Larvae are capable of being killed easily as they have no exoskeleton, relying on the host as protection. They cannot live long without a host. > Parasitic Phase: This is where they start to reroute circulatory systems and nervous systems through them so when they consume internal organs, the host does not feel it. Nihiliod Parasite begins to develop and is more resilient depending on how far it is in the process to becoming an adult. During this phase it begins to quickly adapt and change. Variants of Nihiliods form during this phase. > Adult Phase: They now have a fully developed exoskeleton independent of the host that is adapted to withstand whatever the host knows as a threat as well as what previous generations have adapted to. They will then consume the rest of the host body. They can start reproducing at this phase, laying hundreds of eggs at a time. Due to their hive mind nature, what one Nihiliod knows as a threat, they all know. Attack one with Aura energy, and any other parasite phase Nihiliod begins to adapt against it. The Adult phase becomes perfectly immune to what the Nihiliods have perceived as a threat. Because Physical and energy based attacks are the main forms of attacks upon Nihiliods in the past, the Adult Phase Nihiliod's Exoskeleton is adapted to be immune to any physical trauma and any energy based attack. To what degree it is immune is unknown. Their form also varies depending on the environment. Flying Nihiliods to swimming Nihiliods are not unheard of. They tend to favor an insectoid form for general areas. > Queen phase: Massive Nihiliods that can lay billions upon billions of eggs. Ultimately immobile. There can only be one Nihiliod Queen on one planet. The queen is capable of surviving off of Aura energy found near the core of a planet. If there is no more organic life on a planet other than the Nihiliod presence, then the queen will consume all Nihiliods and go dormant until new organic life disturbs it.
VOID Project	A project started by the Caeles in an attempt to exterminate all other beings of the Eternal Galaxy by utilizing the void.
GAIA Computer	A super computer created by the Caeles alongside the VOID Project. Originally designed to reset the Eternal Galaxy to renew resources. However, when the VOID Project backfired, it was modified to wipe out all life in the Galaxy. Venturia, who had been working on it at the time, modified it so that it would generate new life after eliminating the current.
Phoenix Incident (VOID)	The first time the GAIA Computer was activated by the Caeles in the hope to eliminate the Nihiliods. This is the first Phoenix Incident.
Venturia (Caeles)	A scientist who led the creation of the GAIA Computer. She is revered by those in the recreated Eternal Galaxy as a goddess due to what little information that was left behind about her.
Venturia (Galaxy)	The name of the Galaxy given by the inhabitants after the first Phoenix Incident. Can also be referred to as the Venturian Galaxy.
Phoenix Code	The name of the process which the GAIA Computer uses to reset the Galaxy.
Arcains	Beings that inhabited the Venturian Galaxy after the first Phoenix Incident. Capable of utilizing Gaia and Anti Energy. They are born with a Corlaviri Crystal within them that, without, would lead to their death.
Prometheos	Beings that inhabited the Venturian Galaxy after the first Phoenix Incident. Known as the "mortal gods" or "demigods." Their abilities are hereditary and tied to their blood. Should a Prometheos obtain the blood of another, they can gain a variation of the power of the owner.
Corlaviri	A crystalline material that tends to retain Gaia or Aura Energy. When found naturally, it tends to already contain trace amounts of Gaia energy. If a large "lake" of crystals is found, they may have large quantities of the energy contained. Corlaviri Crystals that contain Aura Energy do not occur naturally. A process used to infuse Corlaviri with Aura energy is to take an uncharged crystal and dip it into blood.
Forterium	A material that is light weight, extremely durable, and is almost impervious to physical damage, however, Gaia energy can damage it. Anti passes through it unhindered.
Inerium	A material that can nullify the effects of both Gaia and Anti energy. It is easily affected by physical trauma.
Gaia Energy	Energy that affects the physical world. Behaves like electricity to a degree. Some refer to it as Aura Energy despite this being used as the name of actual Aura Energy. All matter poses this energy in minute amounts.
Aura Energy	Energy that affects the spiritual world. It can be considered the essence of a soul. All living entities have Aura Energy. Often confused with Gaia Energy.
Black Matter	An unknown substance that behaves as neither a solid, liquid, or gas. It exhibits qualities similar to that of Inerium as well as Aura Energy. It passes through living beings, and can cause harm to their life force, but when in contact with Corlaviri it behaves as a solid. Very rare, often contained in Corlaviri cases.
Phoenix Incident (Arcain Revolt)	The second Phoenix Incident. Originally a revolt that started to liberate Arcains from Prometheos oppression. Secretly, Venturia sought to use it to restart the Galaxy to prevent the Prometheos from becoming like the Caeles.
Venion System	One of the six primary solar systems of the Eternal Galaxy.
Nox	The main habitable planet of the Venion System.
Council of Twelve	Council of the twelve noble houses that existed during the Era of the Dawn.
Council of Venturia	Religious Council that existed during the Era of the Dawn.
Aurora	An AI created by Cicero to help manipulate the GAIA Computer. During the Second Phoenix Incident she was infused with the spirit of Tina, the head maid of Aion who died near the GAIA Computer.
Life Hackers	A group of people that were affected by the Phoenix Code that survived without being in a special safe area. These people were granted special abilities that could affect the fabric of existence. They were hunted by Aetheron and Erebos and eradicated. Notable Life Hackers that remain are Cicero and Nero.
Guardians of Time
Manor of Eternity
Vault	The structure that contains the GAIA Computer. Impervious to virtually anything. Can only be opened by a special control panel.
Sanctuary of Light	The central tower of the Manor of Eternity. The primary location for the Vault.
Sanctuary of Dark	An alternative version of the Sanctuary of Light that contains a special Rift Gate that is tied to the GAIA Computer.

mmm... thanks to biology class I now have a good idea on an alternative way that Nihiliods work.

Let's say the way the adapt is by "consuming DNA"...
So maybe Nihilods don't just outright change, even though they could... Like... when they acquire a host they manage to obtain the cells and therefore the DNA that allows them to change their own body structure. It might even lead to some messed up scenes where Nihiliods that don't have an adaptation will eat a wounded Nihiliod (That might still have its host...) just to spread their adapted genetics.

[Koishi]

From how I see it, the Nihilliods work on a system of efficiency. If eating another is the most efficient and logical path, so be it, they say. One body for the sake of billions.

Also, the whole "adapting" thing screams Borg to me.

[Cucoo5]

Yes it does...

tbh I think I'm coming full circle to the original inspiration from which Nihiliods came from: Aparoids from Star Fox... which also share that "Borg" theme of assimilating things into their hive mind.

...Actually that's a good word...

Nihiliods are assimilating information in order to improve their efficiency in killing all sentient life.

...quaint.

Also to remind myself for later and one part currently if people help with ideas for it...

This "Black Matter" as I'm calling it and possible connections to the Caeles.
There might be more to this strange material than just being odd.
Specifically it might be byproducts of an erased dimension which the Caeles had replaced with Heaven's Forge.

[Cucoo5]

Eternal Galaxy Project

Ok I was just sitting here and realized a certain little girl that I had in SoS would still be alive in Phoenix...

Anankerisa...

This is relevant for a few reasons: the material she used to manipulate "puppets" is the same substance I'm now calling Black Matter. She used Corlaviri wires to control it and she could handle the substance...

So Caeles are not affected by Black Matter... We know that it's possible to give it some form of animation using Aura charged Corlaviri.

Anankerisa is capable of forcing herself into a sort of Fissure despite not having a direct ability to do so.

Now the question is what is she doing during Era of Rebirth and what else she is capable of...

...as well as coming up with a better name for Black Matter.

[Koishi]

"Black Matter" Makes me think of the Dark Matter from Kirby, especially since you aid it's used to control Anankerisa's puppets. The Dark Matter had a habit of possessing people like puppets.

Perhaps Anan's just messing with people, such as what happened with Reaper in part 1. There's not much else. Yet.

[Cucoo5]

perhpas...

...hmmm though where would she be lingering...
She might have been trapped outside of Heaven's Forge after it was sealed.
...which means she's somewhere in the Galaxy...


Ok so I need to look at the fact that, like everyone else, she has a relation to Aion in the fact that he had revived her after she was killed by Sol.

...dammit... where does she go-

...unless...

Unless she stays with Eleos who... goes back to Senarious...?

...If I said they all stay on Alcyon that would mean she would be on Alcyon.

Unless there's a wrecked ship in the Celestora system that she's "haunting" like she did before...

...let's go with that. So little Anna is hiding out on some wreckage.

mmm ok gotta shoehorn that in to the timeline...

[Cucoo5]

Ok Guys, time to go back to Era of Heaven's Forge aka Shards of Starlight.

Primarily on what details there are and why things happened the way they did.

To list some things off that need defining/ ideas to help it work:

Temple of the Lost
- What did it have to make it important

The Mirror Sea
- Aside from being a gateway to the Manor of Eternity, what else is it supposed to be

The Artifacts of Heaven's Forge
- Mainly the reason for the different artifacts and why those things. Reasoning for these which are now tools to fight the Nihiliods.

The Three Organizations/Factions
- Venturian Empire and Noble Guardian Order might be what I stay with... Rather than having three.

What is going on in each Solar System?
- Aside from War of Alcyon and Senari Republic Crisis, I don't have much else for the others tbh.

Will add more as I think of em.

[Cucoo5]

This just in: I'm thinking on saying Cicero And Nero are a type of ghost rather than life hackers.

[Cucoo5]

And now for a big update. Not a full blown revision, but I'll call it one since it does revise a few aspects.

GAIA Revision:

Caeles "made" the beast of time. It is an artificial construct made to manipulate time and space. Caeles have tech as well as gained abilities that allow them to manipulate five dimensional space, however they were still in the experimental phase. The Gaia Computer, Beast of Time, and Void Projects are all examples of such experiments.

In addition...
Anankerisa is a Caeles experiment to produce a being imbued with the ability to manipulate 5 dimensional space "naturally". Hence the alternative race name for her: Starchild.

***

Heaven's Forge could act as a tesseract. The "Passages of Fate" is actually the three dimensional representation of Heaven's Forge.

***

Fissures of Time act as rifts between timelines, therefore jumping only time. The Rift Gates are adaptations of this that act as wormholes.

***

Gaia and Aura energy cannot exist without the GAIA Computer. Gaia energy is converted by the computer from the physical realm (A sort of representation of Kinetic/potential/heat/etc energy put into one form) while Aura energy is derived from the non-physical (Theoretically: Spirit/life force/etc turned into a physical energy that can interact with Gaia energy). Corlaviri Crystals serve as storage for the energy after conversion.

***

The power of the Shards of Starlight do not "technically" exist in the small crystals. The referenced planets ARE the source for the Shards of Starlight. The Small crystals themselves merely serve as a sort of receiver for the energy.
- For the final preparations to destroy the Unknown, The Shards will be gathered at the GAIA Computer, which will draw the power from the planets (possibly destroying them) and then transmit that power in a condensed form to the Daedalus Project which will fire the energy into the Void. It will do this by concentrating beams of the energy into the Rift Gate that leads to the Void, creating instability in the void which would cause expansion to occur again, as well as destroying the point where the Unknown was.

***

The Artifacts of Heaven's Forge: Mercurius, Arke, and Iris, are technically tools that allow one to manipulate 5 dimensional space. The premise as to why they are weapons is that it was an attempt by the Caeles to weaponize their control of 5D space with the hope that it would be able to destroy the Nihiliods. Controlling the artifacts however proved difficult and therefore ineffective against fully eliminating the threat of the Void.
- Three artifacts were created as a sort of safeguard. Mercurius controls Gravity, Arke controls Energy/ 3D space, and Iris controls Time.

***

The Temple of the Lost contains a gate to a part of the GAIA Computer that serves as the Generator of Gaia and Aura Energy. While the GAIA Computer itself can perform this task, this Generator naturally is far more efficient. In essence, the planet Inopia serves as a sort of furnace for it.
- The GAIA Generator is in Heaven's Forge itself. The Temple of the Lost contains the Rift Gate that leads to it. Thus the Temple of the Lost itself serves as a transport of Gaia and Aura energy.
- Note for Era of Rebirth: Currently the Rift Gate to the generator had been closed, hence why charged Corlaviri Crystals do not have as much energy.

***

Each Planet referenced for the Shards of Starlight has a temple that acts as a sort of antenna for the energy. These temples have one predominantly large lens of Corlaviri.
- Each one will have to be manually activated and configured in order to direct the energy to the Gaia Computer.
- Note for Phoenix: To keep things short, the Keystones will be at these temples. Therefore the Shrine of Seasons is actually one of these temples.

***

Cicero and Nero die after the second Phoenix Incident. However, they are reanimated via the GAIA Computer. They are essentially linked to it and hence why they have the ability to manipulate things at will. Hence why they are called "Life Hackers." There were others reanimated by the GAIA Computer to function similarly. This was done by Aurora after fusing with Tina. Aion was one of those that were reanimated. However because Nyx had sent his soul to Heaven's Forge, Tina ultimately created another instance of Aion that didn't have the original's memories.
- This is made possible by the fact that the GAIA Computer can manipulate Gaia and Aura Energy and therefore process it as code.

***

The War of Eternity was caused by hysteria over the threat of the return of the Nihiliods as well as the fear of each faction's means to deal with the threat. The Galaxy was divided into three sectors each controlled by a different governing body. Nexion and Helios are governed by the Venturian Empire. Egale and Celestora were held by the Senari Federation which, after the Senari Crisis, went under the jurisdiction of the UFSE (United Free Syndicate of Egale), a rebel group that was against the Senari Federation. Venion and Nox are protected by the Commonwealth of Venturia.

- Venturian Empire/ Republic: Helios and Nexion
- Senari Federation/ USFE: Celestora and Egale
- Commonwealth of Venturia: Sol Incineron and Venion

There is what is called the "Outer Rim" which is everything outside of the Central 6 solar systems. For Venturia this area was used as a buffer against anything foreign to the galaxy. It was heavily militarized. The planets were not ideal for sustaining life and were often barren, save for these military bases. They often became homes of renegades and bandits.

[Cucoo5]

Ok so I'm revisiting this scene and expanding upon it some more. Will add more to this later when I get a proper drive to transition forward with the next part.

The Lost Princess

The great doors of the central hall of the ruins groaned as they were forced open. The pungent smell of rotten flesh greeted the group as they entered. Eleos pulled up the neck of his shirt over his nose. "This place is ripe..." he said to Aion.

The ground was littered with various treasures. Goblets, platters, jewelry; all covered in blood. A long stone table was brimming with musty food and chalices filled with the crimson liquid. As Aion looked along the table, a gentle clink of a glass being picked up alerted him of the presence of a girl at the far end. From the distance across the room, Aion could clearly make out who it was.

“There’s the princess!” Joe said in a loud whisper as he started to dash forward. He was stopped by Eleos.

“Something’s wrong here.” Eleos murmured. “Something’s very wrong.”

As the group approached the far end of the table, it became clear that the princess seemed very shaky where she sat. When she picked up a chalice, her arm seemed to be broken, yet still functioning. Her mouth was dripping blood. Her eyes were looking at the group, terrified, red with crying, as she seemed to unwilling bring the drink to her lips. The group stopped, a few feet away, slightly dumbstruck and very uncertain of themselves. Her head turned to look at them, but when it did, it moved as though it wasn’t attached to her body. After a long pause, the princess managed to let out a guttural moan. “Kill…me…” At that moment she began to choke and her throat distended as an insect-like head emerged from her mouth, screeching.

“Nihiliod...!" Nemesis said with a look of artificial shock.

“A Nihiliod?! I thought they were quarantined!” Aion yelped as he drew Mercurius. At the same time, the legs of the parasite within the princess jabbed through the sides of her torso, lifting her limp body into the air. The head remained in her mouth, screeching like a banshee. Suddenly, scurrying could be heard along the walls. It was as though the room came alive.

“Shit.” Eleos bluntly said.

“Run!”

Aion's command seemed redundant at that time as the group had the same thought at the same time. The smaller insectoid swarm was rapidly converging on them. There was only one path for escape, and they all clambered for it. When Nemesis reached the door, she spun around with her gatling gun which she opened up upon the moving mass of parasites in a desperate attempt to buy the others time to get out. Small spurts could be seen where Nihiliod larvae were slain by the onslaught of bullets. The swarm continued advancing regardless. Aion, the last to reach the door, grabbed Nemesis by the arm, signaling her to cease fire and help him close the door. The combined strength of android and man slammed the door shut. Aion took a step back while he caught his breath, examining the seal of the door.

Upon closer inspection he noticed that one of the larvae was trapped between the stone of both door and frame. Just like any captured insect, it moved its legs around as it agitatedly tried to free itself. Nemesis noticed its struggle and helped end the parasite’s suffering with a swift kick that crushed it.

“The door is holding…” Aion commented, surprised that such a feat was possible. However, the sound of stone crumbling made him realize that the Nihiliod larvae were eating through the solid stone slab that was the door and walls. “...Or not. Let’s catch up with the others, now!”

Nemesis nodded in agreement as she pursued behind him as they raced down the stairs that led to the entrance hall.

[Cucoo5]

Spoiler: Era of the Void

RY 0
- Caeles create technology capable of manipulating 5 dimensional space
- The Eternal Galaxy Project was started
o The Eternal Galaxy Project was started so that the Caeles would not have to fear running out of resource or having to watch their home be destroyed as it was before.
o Two experiments that were started to achieve this: The GAIA Project and the VOID Project.
§ The GAIA Project delved into generating a machine that could manipulate time and space that would allow the Caeles to reset the galaxy. Two machines were created. The initial device was called the Chronorift Drone, which would access alternate timelines and alter the galaxy through fissures. It would be known to future generations as the Beast of Time. The second device was simply called the GAIA Computer, which utilized a similar program to the Chronorift Drone which was titled the Phoenix Code.
· The Phoenix Code was created by a Caeles woman named Venturia.
§ The VOID Project delved into generating a galaxy from scratch by manipulating the void. The result of the project was a machine that fused one of the Caeles scientists working on it to the void and thus granted them control over it. The Caeles that was fused to it lost its identity, yet knowledge of its existence remains. It is referred to as the Unknown or the Void. In an attempt to reassert its individual consciousness, the Unknown created beings called the Nihiliods, which serve as appendages for the Unknown to analyze the physical and psychological makeup of the galaxy’s individual inhabitants. They typically take on the form of insectoid parasites, though the Unknown may experiment with different forms in order to try and gather new types of data, or based on the experiences of past iterations. What the Nihiliods experience, the Unknown will know. However, it does not alter the Nihiliods’ nature too much each in each new iteration , as it intends to dissect the very concept of the ego, with the ultimate goal of reconstructing its own.

RY 19945
- The First Phoenix Incident occurs to combat the Nihiliods Infection of the galaxy.
o The Phoenix code of the GAIA Computer is activated which restores everything in the galaxy, ultimately resetting it. An unexpected consequence of using it was the creation of new beings that began to inhabit the galaxy.

Spoiler: Era of the Dawn

RY 20,000
- Prometheos and Arcains are the primary inhabitants of the reborn galaxy.
o Rather than interact with the new inhabitants of the galaxy, due to fear of being called gods, the Caeles flee to an alternate dimension using the Chronorift Drone. They use adapted technology from the GAIA and VOID Project to remove the universe in the dimension they traveled to, which generated a substance known as Black Matter.
§ This new dimension is referred to as Heaven’s Forge.
§ Because the Caeles left behind the original GAIA Computer in order to help the new inhabitants to combat the Void, Black Matter was transported to the Eternal Galaxy and was “spawned” as a form of resource.
§ Venturia, because she was against removal of the universe so that Heaven’s Forge could be created, in addition to being blamed for what the Phoenix Code had done to the Eternal Galaxy in terms of generating new beings, was banished back to the Eternal Galaxy. Fearing being worshiped as a goddess, Venturia takes on a new Identity. She would call herself Nyx Leonares.
§ Venturia continued experiments while living among the new inhabitants. She would tamper with the GAIA Computer and generate what she considered her son: Aion Leonares, who would be a Prometheos infused with Caeles traits that would allow him to control the Chronorift Drone, although at this point, the Chronorift Drone started to develop a wild AI, emulating a beast. Aion had to master what abilities he had, such as being able to see Fissures of Time and the various timelines simultaneously. This ability allows Aion to keep track of when and where the Beast of Time would attack, thus allowing him to tame it.
o The Prometheos and Arcains discover the GAIA Computer and find records of Venturia’s existence as well as her work on a planet that what would be later named Nox. Learning what the GAIA Computer could do and that they came to be thanks to Venturia’s efforts, they renamed the galaxy after her.
- Corlaviri Crystal is discovered in the Venturian Galaxy and is soon utilized for various purposes due to the large quantities it was found.
o Corlaviri is generated by the GAIA Computer as a means to store Gaia and Aura energy.
- An Arcain girl, Tina, was found by Nyx in Dual City who had been targeted by Harvesters, a group of people that discovered that Arcains have naturally occurring Corlaviri Crystals growing in them and will “harvest” them due to their value as a resource since the Mines were typically reserved for Prometheos who controlled the Corlaviri market.
o Since Arcains will typically fall terminally ill without their crystal, Nyx provided Tina a crystal so that she would still remain alive. Out of pity, Nyx took in Tina and appointed her to Aion as a maid in order to fit in to the current norms of society.

RY 22120
- Prometheos soon segregate themselves from Arcains as they quickly discover they are physically superior to them. They subjugate Arcains into servitude.
- A small group of human explorers arrive at the Venturian Galaxy via a wormhole. Among them were Mike Warr (Cicero), Ryan Cyke (Nero), and Sarah Trinity.

RY 22123
- After living among the Prometheos and Arcains, Venturia began to see the same selfish traits in the Prometheos that she relates to her own race. She then begins to try and break the Prometheos of their ways by subtle means, with utilizing the Phoenix Code as a last resort.
o After observing the humans that arrived, she realized that she could possibly manipulate them into activating the GAIA Computer by starting an Arcain Revolt against the Prometheos. Her hope, however, was that the revolt would end before the GAIA Computer would need to be activated.
- The Arcain Revolt begins with Cicero and Nero as tacticians for an underground resistance of Arcains in the Outer Ring of Dual City. They would pioneer the technology that would be used to turn Arcains into Noxarcs, which would be later abused to turn them into Demonarcs.
- Aion and Tina, who by this point are very close having grown up together, begin to question what is actually happening with the Arcain Revolt.
- Cicero, Nero, and Sarah prepare to access the GAIA Computer using an AI that Cicero developed, named Aurora. This would initialize the phase of the Arcain Revolt named the Phoenix Incident.
- Aion begins to defy the Prometheos nobility; however his actions are not profound enough and are too late in order to stop the activation of the GAIA Computer.
o Tina is slain during the Phoenix Incident. Her spirit is processed by the GAIA Computer as Aura energy and is then converted into code, which is then merged with Aurora’s AI later.
- Noticing that it’s too late to stop the Phoenix Code from being activated, Nyx kills Aion in the hopes that his spirit would be processed by the GAIA Computer as well before it activates. She then escapes the Galaxy to Heaven’s Forge using another part of the GAIA Computer that opens a rift to that dimension.
- Without Aion, the Chronorift Drone begins to rampage, causing instabilities in space time which would become Fissures of Time.
- Unbeknownst to Nyx, the chamber in which the GAIA Computer was stored also served as a safe chamber by modifications caused by Aurora who had been fused with Tina. Cicero, Nero, and two Prometheos nobles who had allied themselves with Aion, were spared as they were in what would be called the Vault. In addition, by Tina’s modifications, all Arcains were also spared.
- Cicero and Nero would be affected by the GAIA Computer by Aurora’s modifications, granting them the ability to utilize the computer’s reality altering abilities; however Tina made it so there would be conditions in which they could lose access to their abilities.

Spoiler: Era of the Rift

RY 22125
- The recreated galaxy spawned a new set of beings alongside the Arcains: Vatians, Irians, and Papillians.
o Vatians were altered Arcains that were embedded with a form of the ability to see possible future timelines due to the GAIA Computer. The Corlaviri crystal was removed and they appear with slightly different traits than Arcains.
o Papillians were imbued with the ability to passively affect the mental state of those near them. Aura energy tends to resonate with them and forms ornate wings that typically are butterfly like in shape.
o Irians had their senses heightened and adapted to survive harsh conditions; hence they took on a more beast-like appearance accordingly to where they live.
- The GAIA Computer was sealed away in the Manor of Eternity in the Vault. To hide it away so that it would be difficult to even locate the Manor, the only gateway to it was sealed away on the Isle of Spirits on the planet Dua. The Mirror Sea, due to the location’s high concentration of Gaia energy, interferes with most means of transport, making it difficult to traverse and therefore challenging to reach the Isle of Spirits.
- The Dual City remains on Nox with the Manor of Eternity removed, which is now in a world between timelines known as Chronorift, a place where time is not stable.
- Instabilities in time-space alter the Venturian Galaxy, pulling in structures of other timelines, such as the Tower of Lucida and Tower of Ater on Alcyon, the Temple of the Lost on Inopia, and the Castle of Vitrea on Senarius.
o Some structures are caught between two or more timelines depending on where instabilities occur.
o There are two Aura charged corlaviri crystals in the Towers of Alcyon, which were named the Eternal Light and Ethereal Darkness, respectively, and were imbued with conscious minds of both order and chaos.
§ The Eternal Light’s consciousness took the form of two succubi twins, Hedone and Peitho.
§ The Ethereal Darkness was represented by a doppelganger, Morpheus, while the other half remains trapped in the crystal due to its power.
- Venturia was now prohibited from returning to the galaxy due to her meddling and was imprisoned in Heaven’s Forge. However she was allowed to continue researching means to counteract the Void. Due to the success in creating Aion using the GAIA Computer, she attempted to replicate the process using a Caeles base. Her genetic engineering resulted in developing a Caeles girl with the ability to naturally manipulate 5-dimensional space. This “Starchild,” as she referred to it, had its growth accelerated to three times the natural rate so that it would be at least old enough to be aware of her abilities. Before the fifth year was past, the Caeles were weary of Venturia’s project and told her to cease any further developments. Venturia halted the girl’s growth acceleration; however she made a mistake which slowed the girl’s growth tremendously. The girl was named Anankerisa.
o Anankerisa suffered from the rapid manipulation of her growth, which caused mental instabilities.

RY 22130
- Venturia sent, via Anankerisa, a book that documented what would happen if the Void attacked the galaxy once again as well as encrypted instructions to creating additions to the GAIA Computer in order to counteract the Nihiliods. However, the book that would later be called the Blood Tome, wound up in the hands of Hedone and Peitho. Considering it as a book of prophecy, they intended on using it to their own ends to gain dominion over the galaxy.
o The Twin Sisters waited for the opportune moment to use the book against the newly forming Venturian Empire.
RY 22666
- Earth is Destroyed
- Venturian Technology begins reverse engineering devices left behind by the Caeles that had survived the Phoenix Incidents.
o Corlaviri is used in all aspects of society
§ Corlaviri Sickness, also known as Gaia Fusion, becomes prominent when organics come into contact with Gaia charged Corlaviri. The symptoms include crystallization of organic tissue.
o Forterium is invented, a material created from a process that rearranges Corlaviri crystal molecules into a metal and then fusing it with any metal, ranging from iron to titanium. The alloy increases the base material’s physical toughness to that of diamonds while retaining the structural strength of the metal used. The only downside to Forterium is that it is extremely susceptible to Gaia Energy, which can easily break it down.
o Inerium is created by a chemical reaction with molten Corlaviri and water. The substance created is a liquid that insulates from Gaia and Aura energy.

RY 22740
- Human Survivors reach Venturia

RY 22780
- Instabilities in space-time begin to cause severe disruptions in the Venturian Galaxy. Humans and Venturians cooperate to try and solve the crisis. Humans take advantage of the situation by comparing their technology to that of the Venturians. The result of their collaboration is the first Rift Gate, which illustrates their view of the issue: “Harness the fissures rather than shun them.”
- One of the timelines accessed during experimentation unleashes Nihiliods into the Venturian Galaxy.
o Anankerisa joins with the Venturains in order to help contain and then eliminate the outbreak of Nihiliods.
o The technology so far developed is weaponized in order to effectively fight back the Nihiliods.
o Aurora severs off the Galaxy from the rest of the universe by generating a boundary around the Outer Rim of the Galaxy.
§ The Outer Rim is the solar systems outside of the central six solar systems: Helios, Celestora, Egale, Venion, Sol Incineron, Nexion.
o Special tools made by the Caeles from Heaven’s Forge are introduced to the Galaxy. They are meant to help aid the Venturians in fighting the Nihiliods by utilizing the GAIA Computer’s ability to manipulate 5-dimensional space.
§ Mercurius, Arke, and Iris are three of the Artifacts of Heaven’s Forge. Each one grants access to one of the GAIA Computer’s space-time manipulation aspects.
§ The Shards of Starlight are also mentioned as powerful crystals. The mention of them however is misleading, for there is no singular set of crystals capable of performing what they are said to do. Six of the planets of the inner solar systems serve as the Shards of Starlight. There is however a crystal that serves as a key to the temples that serves as access points to the Shards of Starlight.
· The Shards of Starlight is the Caeles’s attempt to generate something powerful enough to possibly destroy the Void.

RY 108826
- Nihiliods are isolated on a planet in the Egale System.
- The Venturian Empire, which had been converted to a republic after the fall of the Emperor Xystus who was a black winged Papillian, had lured those infected by the parasitic Nihiliods to the planet with the promise of a cure only to betray them and leave them to die.
o This act would cause a split in the Galaxy, generating two other factions: The Senari Federation and the Commonwealth of Venturia. These two factions were created in preparation for the anticipated fall of the Venturian Republic, which did not come.
o Negotiations were held on dividing up the solar systems among the factions. The solar systems were divided on how to proceed with the problem of the Nihiliods. They were divided as so: Helios and Nexion sided with the Republic, Celestora and Egale sided with the Federation, and Sol Incineron and Venion sided with the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth and the Federation opposed the Republic’s idea of eradicating the Nihiliods.
o Negotiations bog down and a faction within the Republic unveils a weapon known as the Daedalus Project, and uses it to strike the planet in the Egale System in which the Nihiliods are quarantined. This destroys the Nihiliods wholesale.
§ Following the usage of the Daedalus project to destroy the Nihiliods, the Commonwealth declares war upon the Republic under the cause of genocide.
- The War of Eternity begins
o The Federation at this time has to deal with a civil war involving a rebel force called the United Free Syndicate of Egale (USFE) which was formed due to the Federation’s actions towards breaking the Quarantine of the Nihiliods.
§ The Federation’s leaders are assassinated, however the rebels are suppressed. After the Senari Civil War, the Federation allied itself with the Republic in order to recover, due to fear of the Daedalus Project.
o The Commonwealth begins developing massive battle cruisers to fight the Daedalus Project. The line of capital ships would be classified under a tier system, starting with the largest being known as the Alpha Class.
§ Initially 10 Alpha Class ships were designed to match the Daedalus Project’s firepower.
§ The Republic was aware of the Commonwealth’s project and made 3 similar battle ships to counter them.
§ The first assault against the Daedalus Project saw two of the Alpha Class ships destroyed and another two critically damaged and then captured by the Republic. Thus the Republic had five Alpha Class ships and a damaged Daedalus Project while the Commonwealth had six Alpha Class ships.
§ The Federation pleaded the Republic to lend them one of the Alpha Cruisers so that they could both defend themselves as well as begin developing more of the capital ships. The Republic obliged, and the Federation made three additional cruisers.
§ In addition to the Alpha Class cruisers, seven other models were made to flesh out armadas.
· The tier list is as follows in order from largest to smallest:
o Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Delta
Omega
Kappa
Lambda
Zeta

RY 109115
- After the leaders of the three factions were killed, the War of Eternity came to a halt and almost ended if it weren’t for the succubi sisters, Hedone and Peitho. The twins took the lead of the Venturian Republic and turned it into an Empire once more.
o The Federation broke its alliance with the Empire and allied itself with the Commonwealth. Despite their combined efforts, the Empire quickly crushed both factions with the help of new technology derived from the Blood Tome.

RY 109136
- The Venturian Empire rules over all systems in the Inner rim of the Galaxy and prospers. However, the USFE, which had pledged allegiance to the Empire and replaced the Federation, grew concerned about the foretold return of the Nihiliods. The USFE grew restless during the peace and sought out the group that claimed to be attempting to reform the Commonwealth.
- A sudden outbreak of Nihiliods on the capital planet Senarius of Egale causes what would be called the Senari Crisis. Taking extreme measures, the USFE begins to kill the people of the planet in order to stop the infection. They implement a bio-computer overlord in order to oversee that all inhabitants are exterminated. However, a group of resistance fighters rise up and attempt to destroy the bio-computer as well as reestablish the Federation.

RY 109141
- End of the Senari Crisis
o The last sniper of a group of assassins that were loyal to the Federation known as Reapers, Eleos Mithras, aided the resistance of Senarius in what would be called Operation Reaper’s Call.
§ Operation Reaper’s Call ends with the reestablishment of the Federation and the overthrow of the USFE, although both factions are crippled and weak.
o On Alcyon, fear of the Nihiliods spreading causes panic and the Arcains take matters into their own hands and attempt to prevent any outbreak by utilizing the two towers of Lucida and Ater. One Arcain named Achlys unleashes the power of the Ethereal Darkness’s Consciousness of Chaos which takes the form of a demonic queen that possesses Achlys and begins brainwashing the inhabitants of the main continent of Alcyon known as Mana. Marc, another Arcain who was in league with Achlys yet did not agree with the plan of unleashing the Ethereal Darkness, sought out one of the Nymphs of Mana in order to try and stop the possessed Achlys and seal the Ethereal Darkness. The Nymph he finds was the Nymph of Winter known as Kiara.
§ After a brief campaign against Achlys, Marc guides Kiara to her and sacrifices himself in order to allow Kiara to seal the Ethereal Darkness.
- Fall of the Venturian Empire
o An underground group of rebels organize to take down Hedone and Peitho, led by a man named Orion. After successfully defeating the Twin Sisters, he attempts to reinstate the Venturian Empire with Lady Avonna, daughter of Xystus, as the Empress. However, the people do not trust having one person having all power and therefore return things back to the Republic.
o The Commonwealth, tired of the existence of the Venturian Republic, seeks to remove it and replace it.

Above is the nearly completed timeline thus far, with the last parts being extrememly rough and in need of serious ideas on how to get from point A to point B that makes sense.

Below is a rough placeholder system to try and organize what goes where.
Everything needs reasons. And I don't really have solid ones.
