Earth, year 25517
Our beloved planet has changed a lot since the day the constellations fell to Earth. Society is now divided between humans and non-humans, the so-called "Kebulas."
(CHARACTERS AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS, CULTURE OF THE TERRITORIES AND THE EXACT MECHANICS OF THE POWER SYSTEM WILL BE BETTER PRESENTED IN THE COMIC - FOR NOW THIS IS THE BASIS FOR A BETTER GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE SF WORLD)

LEGEND OF THE CONSTELLATIONS
Starting from the beginning of the formation of the constellations. In our current universe, cosmic entities have forms similar to ours, since humans were one of the first life forms around the galaxies to recognize and be curious about these small bright points in the sky. So the constellations were born, from what our ancestors saw in them. This respect and admiration of humans for the cosmos caused the stars, once chaotic, to approach us and form a strong bond with us, shining high in the sky, offering security.
All this in a way that still respects the laws of the Universe, where no cosmic entity has the right to help or harm a living being directly.
Everything would be peaceful if another cosmic entity weren't watching everything from afar: the Black Hole, or by his human name, Takahiro Shinkirou.
Takahiro is one of the most powerful cosmic entities of all; he paralyzes constellations with fear simply by his presence. He can make several constellations disappear at once or even tear the fabric of the cosmos if he wants, but he doesn't do it directly. He likes to feel a little emotion instead of imposing all his power at once.
.
.
.
And so life continues on Earth and in the Cosmos, just as we know it.
Over the years, our society reached level 2.5 on the Kardashev scale, approximately in the year 17028. At that point, tired and wanting to feel some emotion beyond anger and loneliness Takahiro descended to Earth, like a black hole in the vastness of space, no one noticed him here, except for one man, the one Takahiro was looking for, an astronomer... The one who would be the first Kebula, the first being who would no longer be human and would fight alongside Takahiro!!
Takahiro had given so much power to this first Kebula that he became the first Midnight, and thus Midnight 0 did what Takahiro wanted on Earth: he instilled fear and even began to transform more humans into Kebulas!!
Seeing what was happening on Earth, Orion, the hunter, didn't think twice; he would go there to face Takahiro personally.
Other constellations joined him, Taurus and Centaurus were the first to join Orion, and of the 88 constellations, 20 agreed to break the law of the universe to save their beloved humans.
[ORION, TAURUS, CENTAURUS, OPHIUCHUS, LEO, CANCRI, CRUX, LIBRA, SCORPIUS, HOROLOGIUM, SAGITTARIUS, URSA MAJOR, HERCULES, DRACO, PEGASUS, MICROSCOPIUM, AQUILA, SCUTUM, CYGNUS, GEMINI]
Thus, the day that would be forever marked was named.
FEBRUARY 21, 17028 - THE DAY THE STARS FELL TO EARTH
The 20 constellations fought against the Kebulas and defended humans directly!!!
After a long period of battles, the constellations returned to the skies, thinking everything had turned out well, but they didn't expect to find... The Universe
(If you're curious, this is the sound the constellations heard; they already knew what it meant...)
The Universe wasn't very happy that its stars had broken the rule and was there to inflict the punishment they deserved...
Orion tries to talk to the universe, but it's no use...
Because they broke the rule, all the constellations are condemned to be frozen in the sky, in an eternal sleep.
On Earth... Humans survived, but everything was different. All technology was completely destroyed, and humanity had to rebuild itself from absolute zero.
Since Takahiro hadn't directly harmed any humans, he remains free, and he and the Midnight 0 continued to conquer the world.
Even with these difficulties, many humans began to recognize what the stars had done for them and began to believe again that the stars are salvation.
Even in punishment, those constellations that received the belief of humans managed to awaken again.
The constellations gradually manage to return to life because of humans (of course, with the limitation of the punishment, the constellations are trapped in a region around the Earth forever), and as a way of thanking and helping, the constellations begin to give part of their powers to the humans who need them on Earth, so that they can fight and continue their journey on their own.
The connection between humans and the stars has never been this stronger until now.
[SYMBOLS OF COSMIC ENTITIES]
[CONSTELLATION SANCTUARIES]
To thank the constellations for their work, humans have built numerous sanctuaries for each constellation around the world, but as years have passed, many of the sanctuaries are poorly maintained and lost
One of their superstitions is that if you find a sanctuary, it means good things will happen✨️
[The Sanctuary of Cancri, lost on one of the thousands of beaches around the world, used to have a structure beneath the symbol, but the stones destroyed it.]

Now let's move on to the more technical aspects of the SUNLIGHT FORCE world :D
||SUNLIGHTS||
The Sunlights are humans who work for the Sunlight Force, an organization created centuries ago. Currently, in the year 25517, they are the most powerful organization in the world.
The Sunlights have several operation bases around the world to ensure the safety of citizens from any threat from the Kebulas.
The Sunlights use the powers of the Constellations to fight against threats >:]
How does the power of the constellations work?
- The power is like a super dose of energy for the Sunlight, they feel more alert, faster and stronger overall, but each constellation has a more specific characteristic!
We have Combat, these constellations are the most powerful, being a balance of all other types - Resistance, Strength, Defense, Agility, Speed, Attack
Each one will increase depending on the type; for example, the one with the Pegasus constellation (Speed) becomes much faster both in movements during a fight and in reasoning, managing to act much faster and better.
- To use these powers, the individual must focus on listening to their constellation (which speaks telepathically, I think that's the best way to describe it-) and let the energy flow through their body. This is the moment when the individual fully connects with their constellation, and the stronger this connection, the brighter the aura will shine around the person, and the constellation will shine alongside it in the sky.
In some cases where the individual needs a lot of power, a star-shaped light forms on their neck/chest.
- In addition, everyone who needs to can talk to their constellations; they are there, and often humans don't hear their voices, but the stars are guiding them nonetheless.
- This power is focused more on the Sunlights, since the constellations see what happens on Earth, but if a citizen needs urgent help, the constellations will support them with a little power to defend themselves.
The Sunlights use the power of the constellations to be able to fight, even so, they have heavy training to be able to deal with all kinds of situations, since the Kebulas/Midnights can always present different powers, each one more dangerous than the last.
Uniforms✨️
Here we see the uniforms and their characteristics!!
*"Sunlights under supervision" means that the Sunlight has a tutor guiding them (for example, Satoshi, whose tutor is Antares, and Antares has already helped Satoshi rise in the hierarchy through his training)
And also the special Eclipse Day uniform!
[ECLIPSE DAY]
Days when Eclipses occur are the days the Sunlights celebrate, since all the Kebulas fall asleep (this will make sense soon), the Kebulas remain asleep for one to two days, then all the humans go out and celebrate in the cities without fear! The Sunlight Force organizes a small presentation of their armies in a parade in the middle of the Capital.
[SF Hierarchy]
Here on the left we have the hierarchy and on the right the main characters who belong to each position (there are many more characters, here I only included the main ones...)
||KEBULAS||
Kebulas are non-human beings, they used to be, until they were transformed by Taiyou's (the Midnight 0) dark energy.
Most humans are transformed by chance, by the energy beams that Taiyou randomly launches, and they roam the world and hit anyone walking at night.
Taiyou's energy can be just his own or combined with that of the 3 strongest Midnights (I'll talk more about them later!).
Currently we have 3 most powerful Midnights and here are the characteristics of those affected by their energy:
TAIYOU KAITATSU (MIDNIGHT 0) - more ghostly characteristics and discreet powers.
YUDI KAZAN (MIDNIGHT I) - The Kebulas transformed by him usually become taller, stronger and more aggressive, it is common for them to have the appearance of an animal as well.
ZENSHIN SAITO (MIDNIGHT II) - Electric/metallic powers.
AKIRO MATSUMOTO (MIDNIGHT III) - Powers related to nature, such as powers related to plants, water, and wind.
Here is an overview of the anatomy of a Kebula
Kebulas are very connected to feelings and the moon as well - here you can see that
💬 4 🔁 20 ❤️ 37 · One thing Dmitry forgot to mention is that Kebulas are also very connected to their feelings! What they feel can manifes
Another thing is that Kebulas suffer very strong discrimination, both due to the historical context and because many still cause confusion, since for a Kebula to get the minimum of respect and a better life, they are motivated to compete to become a Midnight!!
||MIDNIGHTS||
The Midnights are the Kebulas who are absolutely the most powerful.
Characteristics:
- Powers reach planetary levels
- Great influence, recognized by many people
- They possess a large territory under their control
[Current Midnight Hierarchy]
The list from Midnight I to VII can always vary, with one Midnight leaving and another taking their place; the only ones who don't lose their positions are Takahiro and Taiyou
Now for one of my favorite parts!! :D
SOCIETY, GEOGRAPHY AND MORE INFORMATION!!
At the time of the story, the characters live in the new Pangaea, called Pangaea 2.0, here is the world map✨️
The map now shows the most important locations for the story in general.
Some fun facts!!
- Thales of Miletus Base is a naval base adrift in the ocean; it's not very busy usually, it's more of a support base for the Sunlight Air Force.
- Novaneve is a large city in Vanasky; it connects several railway lines.
- Schrodinger's Beach, nobody knows if it's a beach or if it's buried at high tide; it's always a surprise xD
- This post here talks a little about Kepler I, the main base that flies in the skies of the Capital
Oh yeah, I didn't mention that Earth's climate is completely altered because the Midnights wanted to do it. On the border of Polwagara and Vanasky, we can see a very hot desert next to an extremely cold tundra xD
- The most common transportation for everyone is trains, since the airspace is almost entirely controlled by the Sunlights (as they frequently need to use supersonic planes).
- Another detail is that in many cities around the world, especially those with a higher concentration of people, they have Sundials - immense communication structures.
The Sundials also serve as large telephone booths, since people's "cellphones" are very limited (they don't come close to what we have today, they don't have internet).
- Important devices:
The Universal Bracelet is all people need (or almost), since it contains all their documents, ID, money (yeah, they only use digital money), and codes.
The codes are the keys, since the doors all have digital locks; they have a copy of the authorization code, and this allows them to lock/unlock doors.
The Telecommunicators aren't used much; they're more of an aid for quick calls and some basic things.
- One fact about the Universal Bracelets is that they break when someone is transformed into a Kebula, since Taiyou's power is too much for the bracelet to withstand, and the Sunlights use this to their advantage, detecting the energy to quickly find that Kebula and act before it causes any problems.
With this, the one who became a Kebula literally loses everything, loses their ID, they literally cease to be citizens... and this also increases the tension between the Kebulas and humans.
