Meet Takehaya, the Storm-Bringer 📿 Domain: Sto

Meet Kagi, Bound to Fire

📍 Hometown: Kigawa
🎂 Age: 26
📏 Height: 175 cm / 5'9"
⚖️ Weight: 90 kg / 198 lbs
⭐ Star Sign: Dog
🔥 Abilities: Fire manipulation
❤️ Loves: Takumi

In the ancient streets of Kigawa, Kagi walks a path shrouded in mystery. As an onmyōji, he commands the elemental forces of fire, weaving spells of flame and ember with the flick of his wrist.

Despite the fearsome reputation that precedes him, Kagi is a gentle soul, misunderstood by many who mistake his affinity for fire as a sign of malevolence. In truth, his heart is kind, his intentions pure, yet the flames he summons often fuel the rumors that swirl around him.

Deep within his heart, Kagi harbors a secret longing for Takumi, the boy he grew up with, a humble farmer whose laughter echoes through the fields like music. Kagi toils tirelessly, saving every coin he earns from his onmyōji duties to fulfill their shared dream of owning the boy's family farm. It is a dream steeped in hope and fueled by the promise of a future where they can tend to the land together, their lives entwined beneath the warmth of the sun.

However, Kagi bears a burden he can share with no-one: a pact forged with a cruel fire demon known as Akuro. When an invading army rampaged through his hometown, Kagi inadvertently awakened Akuro, a powerful fire demon bound by ancient seals.

Faced with no other choice and driven by the need to safeguard his home, Kagi reluctantly made a pact. Though Kagi saved his town, it pact came with a heavy price as Akuro compels Kagi to act in ways that are against his peaceful nature.

As Kagi navigates the intricacies of his dual nature, he remains steadfast in his pursuit of happiness, guided by the flickering flame of love that illuminates his path as he seeks to break his pact.

Adrián Yñigo Elkano comes from the serene landscapes of Nexo Vallarta, a world that remained virtually untouched by the cybernetic revolution that had taken the world by storm. From a young age, he exhibited a gentle spirit that found its purpose in nurturing the minds of students without cybernetic or genetic enhancements. His classroom became a sanctuary where minds flourished under his patient and nurturing guidance.

At the age of 24, Adrián made the courageous decision to move to New Eden, seeking a fresh start and a sanctuary where he could rebuild his life. As he crafted a new life in New Eden, the echoes of his past trauma lingered, influencing his every step, making him a beacon of hope for those who sought solace within the sanctuary of his classroom.

In a VR café in New Eden, he met his boyfriend, Eli Hunter, a talented VR game developer who stood by him, offering unwavering support and love. Yet the pain still lingered just underneath the surface, threatening to spill forth at any time…

Meet Mpenda Omoni, the Wandering Light 📍 Homet

Meet Ash and Ember, the Neon Flames 📍 Hometown

Atl, the Seer of Deep Waters 📍 Home: Alom, Xal

Meet Iktan, the Jaguar Prince

📍 Home: Xalúm
🎂 Age: 22
📏 Height: 168 cm / 5’6”
⚖️ Weight: 70 kg / 155 lbs
🩸 Blood Type: O
⭐ Star Sign: Knife
🐾 Abilities: Telekinesis, Yatzil (Jaguar familiar)
🗺️ Hobbies: Exploring
❤️ Likes: Prince Atl

In the realm of Xalúm, where the whispers of ancient spirits intertwine with the vibrant heartbeat of a kingdom, Prince Iktan lives.

An iconoclast, Iktan is third in line to the throne and has no real interest in ruling, preferring instead to serve his kingdom through exploration, an insatiable curiosity that leads him to uncover hidden corners of Xalúm, from ancient ruins to the bustling marketplaces. His connection to the kingdom goes beyond duty; it's a profound kinship that fuels his every endeavor.

Alongside him prowls Yatzil, a majestic jaguar and loyal companion. She never leaves his side; where one is, the other is sure to be closeby. Iktan has also mastered the art unique to his people: telekinesis through the sound of his singing and chanting.

Though he prefers to be alone (save in the company of Yatzil), Iktan finds solace in the presence of Prince Atl. A blossoming connection, born out of shared interests and mutual respect, hints at the potential for alliances that extend beyond the political landscape.

As the young Jaguar Prince delves into the mysteries of Xalúm, he discovers that the true power of leadership lies not just in tradition but in the delicate dance between exploration, magic, and the bonds that tie a kingdom together.
