Series Progress Update #1

So book 1 has been completely uploaded to Wattpad, and I might choose to upload it to more places eventually to get more readers, not sure yet.

Book 2 is currently in progress, and once I’ve made a presentable cover I’ll start uploading that lol. I think it’s gonna take on a part separation similar to the way that Raios gaiden is uploaded, that way smaller chunks will be uploaded instead of the full 20-25 page episodes at one time deal that I went with for the first book.

Speaking of Raios Gaiden, it will continue seeing updates, as it already runs on this chunk-type system, so expect to see more parts there soon. Also there may be more Gaidens/side-stories either self contained or branching in the future.

As far as art goes, expect to see regular updates on this page, ranging from illustrations, concept art, little comics, and anything and everything in between in. :D

Same goes for character profiles and story database, though they’ll be added more accordingly to how the story progresses.

Of course as always, any time something is posted I’ll be dropping the link and notification here.

Thanks to anyone who follows this page as always!~

Story Database: Halos

The halos are a visual representation of an individual's extrasensory power's. As such all of the inhabitants of Isla Paschaliá have one. Halos can vary in size and color, and often fluctuate depending on the thoughts of the person. The color usually matches that of the alpha, thus making it easier to identify a comrade. The halos also respond to various sensations and situations. For example in moments where danger is imminent, the halo may appear more scattered and transparent than normal. Also in moments where an individual is having a sensual or passionate experience, the halo may become more vibrant and brighter. They have also been observed to meld with others when two people become romantically involved. This is a sign that a strong mutual bond is present and that their minds and bodies have become one in a metaphysical sense. Why and how the halos exist is still unknown, perhaps only the people behind these experiments know the truth.

Story Database: technology

You may notice that the inhabitants of isla Paschaliá seem to have issues operating the various modern appliances available to them. There are three possible causes for this. First, many of the subjects were taken from a somewhat young age and thus may never had the chance to interact with such machines. Second, as all of their memories have been fragmented (to various degrees per person) the memories related to the usage of a household appliance may be damaged or missing as well. Third, with modern advancements being made all the time, many of them may not know how to operate new machines, having been familiar with the models from their youth. The true cause may be one of these 3 or all of them, the truth is only known by the island's individual residents.

Story database: Isla Paschaliá

The island home to Melos and company, this small tropical landmass was used by an unknown organization as the base for their completed enhanced human weapon group, known as the battle squad. Originally occupied by about 1000 workers, the island was prepared as a long-term living location, with resources that would last up to 7 years minimum and 14 maximum. Many facilities were available for the island staff including a gymnasium and exercise facility, multiple cafeterias with an immense variety of foods, game rooms and recreational areas, and more. The location where the subjects were stored was a fairly unassuming building on the surface, but led to a huge underground facility equipped with cutting edge technology. Two large experimental battleships were being tested alongside the battle squad on various missions. Experimental weaponry, armor and other equipment was also being developed. Isla Paschaliá translates to Lilac island
