Setting, Universe and History


Our history starts in the first half of the 2000's. People with a heavier connection to the spiritual world have always roamed between normal people, but for most of them, they were all just product of fairy tails and stories that passed on from parent to children. Just, myths. People like this lived completely shrouded by shadows to avoid normal people from discovering them and misusing their powers. There were three rival clans and they called themselves 'Connecters'. Or so the myth says.

However, this people are very real and it was not until 2020 that their existence became public, due to an incident that happened in various countries of Europe, when some madman and its clan tried to absorb all the spiritual power in earth. His plans met a quick end, though. The 3 clans of the now exposed underworld of spirits fought against them and the victory was quickly obtained. This fourth clan disappeared from existence after what media decided to call "The Great Spirit War", which also made most regular humans wary of them and their over destructive powers.

Political conflicts started, mostly because many of these new-found 'wizards' could have benefited humanity greatly if Connecters just had exposed themselves earlier. Arguing continued for half a century and many problems arose due to this. World War 3 was something imminent, but before this came to happen, the most wise of the three remaining clans, the Nesterov, decided that it would be best to distance themselves from humans and started living on their own.

Some would think this was about to be the trial of a lifetime, but using their spiritual powers it was an easy thing. The Nesterov are known for their adept use of magic and with it, they raised a new island in which all Connecters could live peacefully and away from their former government's claws.

Even though the clans are rivals, they did their best to try and get along and form a sustainable government and lifestyle for the new citizens of their newly made island, which they decided to name Lyranias.

They settled quite nicely in the island and their government became quite efficient. Their society prospered in the coming years. However, as rival clans that they are, relations between them continue to be complicated and as of now it can be seen the great divisions that separate, every and each one of them taking care of something different in regards to the administration of the island. Every clan has control over one third of the island and frontiers are battled over constantly. However, the centre of the island has become a neutral part of the island place where tourists could spend their time. In the centre of the island the government and their headquarters are located.

Now, in the year 2110, Lyranias is already an accepted country by the UN and it also holds the most powerful army in the whole world. Not everyone agrees with them becoming quickly one of the world's potencies, but there isn't anything they can do about it. There are extremists who will still try and mess with Lyranias.

What is a Connecter?


In relation to their powers and what they can do they have been defined as follow:
Connecter is a person who can take advantage of his link to the spiritual world and use it efficiently in practical appliances. Usually, people are connected to an spirit since the day they are born, kind of an horoscope, but this spirits are those that come from legends, myths and different beliefs and they count with different powers which can be used by their host. Even if everyone is connected to an spirit not anyone can use their powers as they are unable to communicate in whatever manner with their spirit. Also to be noted, this spirit and their powers can be used through the exchange of life force, since even without using the powers of the spirit it still leeches on their host life force. Connecters, however, use the term Reiji or Rei for it, to shorten it. This is the presumed cause of why people die of natural causes.

While using Connecter powers won't shorten your life span if you use way too much you may wind up dead in one day. Life force replenishes over the night after a good night's rest.

The kind of Connecter powers that are most known are:

  • Magic Connection or Mahozoku: If the spirit knew magic and spells, the user can use their known spells in battle or other practical usages. E.g. Thor's host would be able to launch lightning or fly.


  • Weapon Connection or Bukizoku: This is a little more universal and does not only apply to one kind of spirit. The host can either turn the spirit into a weapon or, if the spirit owned weapons of any kind, they can summon those. E.g. The host of King Arthur would be able to summon Excalibur, whilst the host of Efreet would summon the spirit in weapon form.


  • Summon Connection or Juzoku: The host of the spirit is able to summon the spirit in the physical world by feeding it continuous streams of life force. This is not only exhausting, but also dangerous, as well as very destructive. Also works to summon familiars


  • Soul Connection or Tamazoku: The host and the spirit do a fusion of sorts, combining both body and spirit and become a greater existence. This can only be activated by a short time and depends way too much on the physical prowess of the host. The most difficult and advanced of the Connector techniques.


  • It is almost impossible to master all four types of Connection and mastering 3 is already an incredible thing. Most people can do just 2 Connections.

    The Clans








    Center of Lyranias, Tourist and Neutral City, Utopia.


    While every other clan has a different style when talking of buildings and prefers to go with some more old fashioned buildings, Utopia is the complete opposite.

    In Utopia can be found the government HQ and where the ruler of Lyranias lives. It is at the center of the city and it is also a great tourist attraction for people to visit.

    As the headquarters of the government and centre of the island it also counts with an airport and is currently the only part on the island where planes and things of the like can land. It also is the place in where the biggest school for Connecters is located, while every clan has schools of their own this is the most recognized one.

    The school is named Kaimei Gakuen. It has every grade of school you'll ever need to attend to.


    The schools in Lyranias are almost the same as normal ones, with the exception of subjects related to the control and use of the children's powers being integrated in the studies plan. Grade and middle school are completely free of charge, from education to materials needed to study.

    Utopia also counts with a theme parks, hotels, restaurants and many other attractions for tourists. While human tourists are accepted, to attain citizenship in Lyranias one must be a Connecter. In Utopia, clan-less Connecters which may appear around the world are given free transportation from whatever part of the world they are in and a free home before establishing in the island and finding work.

    The currency in Lyranias is the Lyra with a 1:1 policy.

    Terms you need to know as a Connecter


    Kimera Tenma: Kimera Tenma is a terrorist organization which motto is: "We Take What We Want."
    Mostly, low ranking members follow this thorough and steal left and right, always defending themselves with the fact that they are part of the organization, since the sole name strikes fear in many.
    However, their real objective is unknown to most people except their 12 henchmen, who prefer to remain in anonymous. They are known to hunt people from all three clans. Every and each one of them is still running amok and they just keep amassing crimes.
    Their twelve henchmen are known to be extremely powerful, since most of them could easily wipe out hordes of soldiers with just the swipe of their hands. Their leader is said to be someone dreadful and horrible in many ways, and he is also rumoured to be one of the infamous Soul Snatchers.

    Soul Snatchers: A really strange condition which is said to be just a myth. Someone who has this condition has the ability to steal the spirit of someone else and make it their own. The method to accomplish this, however, varies from person to person. While for someone may be okay to just hug a person for a set amount of time, for someone else it might mean to make the other party fall completely in love with them or even proceed with the sexual intercourse.
    After the history lesson for this RP, I want to welcome any interested parties and want them to have lots of fun RP'ing in this RP I and Haruna have worked so hard on, but first, some rules, so we can have a smooth ride and get along with each other.



    That's that for rules, so here you have an skeleton of a CS. You can add whatever you want to it and if I or Haruna think a CS has the right ring to it, we might make it the official. But for now, feel free to add whatever.



    Here's a little list for the accepted characters:


    We're always accepting new players! And as of now we're looking for people to help us fill in the following special roles:





    For more info on this special roles, please talk with Masaki Haruna.

    Welcome and thank you for the OOC people!

    A quick note, I am only accepting soul connection users at the maximum number of players which is 3, soul connection is one of the most rarest among the rest of connections and I don't wanna see too much soul connecters but that doesn't mean I won't regulate the other three connections, make sure everything is balance, you can't have two or three connections in the beginning of the story. It is either you are born with an innate connection or you learn it. But then again, I can reconsider if you give me valid explanation on how you are able to learn 2 or 3 connections.

    Further explanation.
    Everybody is born with Rei/ Spirit energy or reserves but you don't have a spirit, you use your own reserves and it doesn't shorten your life span.

    To make it easier, having a spirit along side with you is the factor of reaching the pinnacle of your connection.

    You do not know the name of your spirit at the beginning but you have em' along your side but to make it simpler, not everyone is able to awaken their spirit or even have one, this is to ensure balance. But hey you will know the name.....

    @Assu, welcome to Kimera Tenma, you are Spider #6, there are 12 spiders altogether.

    NOTE: Not everyone can have a spirit but you are still able to be born with an innate connection or learn it and eventually sign a contract with a spirit.

    @Baldman: Mostly, I think it is okay, but if you can, please add on your bio whether he assists to school or not, since he lives in Utopia, then most probably he assists Kaimei and stays on the dorms. Or is he actually hiding from authorities? Please, do elaborate on that. I like the whole 'protector of justice' thing he's got going for him, though and dem fits of madness.

    And about your other question, after the other guys who have shown interest in this get their CS' up, then we'll be okay to start.

    @Asuu: Take your time, we're still waiting on others to upload their Cs, as well as I'll start working on my own tomorrow. So there's no hurry.

    @Haruna: I leave things in your hands, I'm off to get some sleep.

    Welcome to the special role lottery, special roles are given by the GM or the CO-GM, first come first serve.
    Alstreim is managed by Haru and Tsurara is managed by me and anyway.....

    Special Roles
    The four characters me and Haru are giving now are not necessarily main characters but they are rather significant and must be active players.

    Tsurara clan special role. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
    -Name Is either letter R, K, M , A or Y, don't complain this is a challenge for you.
    -Lady at age 15.
    -She is the representative for the clan meaning unravel stories about her clan but she knows less at the beginning.
    -No Tamazoku for you.
    -In school, you are the genius in sense headstrong rival characters like Uchiha Sasuke, Akemi Homura whether or not you are Tsundere or Kuudere.
    -A Tsurara must have black hair and red eyes.
    -You are the rival type character like in shounen who is stronger than your classmates at the beginning. For example Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail.
    -An Ice Person
    - Must be badass
    - You are an avenger your goal is revenge to get rid of Kimera Tenma because for many years the three clans are being hunt down for their powers and Tsurara Clan is at the brink of extinction and hell because of Kimera Tenma.
    -As the usual rival character type, you are aloof and indifferent to your classmates and everyone.
    -Be creative.

    The uncanny Alstreim special role.
    Gender equality in the Alstreim is hard to find since majority are men, you are a female who does some cross dress thing and break rules in your clan to prove that women in the clan are useful and just there to get men sandwiches. Your rival is that Tsurara avenger girl.

    The pacifist Nesterov
    The three clans as you know represent the DnD alignments, Tsurara is Chaotic, Alstreim is Alstreim lol and Nesterov is Neutral. There's more!
    -Congratulations you have received the superpower lottery, your ability pertains to displacement, distortion and anything pacifist like. No time powers.
    -choose your gender, boy or girl? If this became a girl: BEHOLD SPECIAL ROLE NUMBER FOUR!

    The clan-less guy role, you are a boy and potentially a harem candidate if Nesterov is a girl that is.

    Special Role Number 5 is optional, He is from Kimera Tenma, Spider #4.
    The requirements are:
    -The Joker like personality from Batman with a mix of Green Goblin but no personality switch.
    -Pedophile as in literally, you are like Yaoi King or Yuri Queen.
    - Bishie or Bishoujo like appearance, hair must not be too long.
    - like ummm Hisoka from HxH or Orochimaru level of Pedo from Naruto, either way I expect you to surpass my expectations and the creepiness I want you to deliver.
    -No Tamazoku nor Juzoku for you.
    -don't hold back on your creepiness.
    -Creepy but intelligent
    -Age is ranged from 21 to 30+
    -Your power, be creative, impress me, something I haven't seen before!
    -You joined Kimera Tenma for your own agenda, you might he betraying them someday or not.
    -Ruthless killer.
    -You get sexually turned on every time you have worthy opponent.
    -4 is Death so yeah, kill kill!

    Go ahead! Take it! We all need a Pedo villain and less backstory, I'm exempting you on having a detailed backstory because that will justify you and turn u into a good guy! Leave it as a mystery for now.

    Welcome Baldman as Spider#4, got any pics on your Pedo?

    Considering that you have a character already thought out(or so it seems) I take back asking for the fourth special role.
