The Tumblr Experience
Jonathan + Bri and Silver doodles
Those two are the definition of “literal goddess x Some Guy” and I adore it.
Watching Bri's POV where Relena, Bryan, Kay and Jakey are all introducing themselves and such. And .I'm cackling this is such a funny scene:
(Bri gets Bryan to introduce himself)
Bryan: "...I come from a well known family within the region and I am an orphan" (direct quote)
(Bri asks why Bryan wants to join the Protectors)
Bryan : "(...) as well as to hopefully help me find out who killed my parents [in a house fire]" (direct quote)
Lo'Pho (muttering): "Yes we get it"
Crying. Lo'Pho I love you.
I know you were planning to make a continuation with fto based off the time mage family at some point but sadly not never got produced. So I was wondering if you ever had like a solid plot planned out or what the plans were with it. I remember you streaming making some designs, and I was so intrigued about it, it's always been on my mind.
YESSS IM ALSO SO SAD ABOUT IT. I tried really hard on it, but I ended up being the only one really committed and I couldnt get everyone fully on board. Then one of our main people leaving the Internet kinda was a final blow.
There was definitely a solid concept! Refresher: Jakey's FTO5 ended on Jakey Centura going to rescue his kidnapped family from Kronos, an evil mage from Ultimate Jakey's dimension who's wrecked havoc on the his nemeses, the Centura family of time mages, in this world. Jakey succeeds in freeing his very weakened mother, Cerelia, but cant save his father and loses his sister to Kronos in the process. Jakey is forcefully aged up by using a large amount of his time magic- to an extent that would have killed any other time mage, but Jakey had a special quirk (I think born during an eclipse? The few moments of totality and his birth affecting how his magic worked slightly. Not majorly, but important for Kronos's plans.) Jakey and Cerelia return to the Protector's guild and immediately try to get help and find Jakey's sister (Kia) and their dad (who I dont think was ever named as a running joke of his relevance.) Cerelia's far too weak to meaningfully use magic, having been starved and probably at least somewhat tortured, as well as just held in a cramped cell for over 1-2 years, and Jakey is trying to keep everything together about what just happened. Then Jakey meets with Lo'Pho, who informs Jakey he's leaving Atlantide and the Protector's Guild, and is making Jakey Guild Master... a master with no guild. Jakey is quite literally the last member of the Protector's. Someone who the rest of the Atlantide mages see as a joke and a child and evrn if not, have abandoned and refused to help. Jakey ends on continuing having to push down any fear to now take up this mantle of guild master and find his family.
(Fun fact! This wasnt the planned ending point for FTO5. Hence why we wanted to do FTOS in the first place, since the moment FTO5 ended. cc!Bryan delayed the failed wedding scenes for TWO IRL MONTHS cause he wanted to screw around with Davis's character, even though the wedding was always planned to fail and Bryan would have left Jakey's story anyway. Yes this is FamousFilms /neg Im kinda tired of everyone loving that guy when hes a egotistial narscissist who only acknowledges ppl with clout from my experience.)
Somewhere in here Kia reappears: and attacks her brother and mother. I think here she might kidnap the dad's comatose body? She's under the control of Kronos.
FTOS would have picked up only about a week after the end of FTO5. Jakey and Cerelia would get a visit from Abraham, the man who defeated Allumos and Grimshade and took over Atlantide's Magic Council. He informs the time mages that time magic is now banned in Atlantide and gives them a few days to leave. Atlantide was one of, if not the ONLY place in the whole world, where time magic wasnt banned, and now it is. Abraham is only giving them a warning because 1. He sees Jakey as a nonthreat 2. Doesnt want to deal with the potential public problem of imprisoning/killing a well-liked, perceived as innocent, niaeve child, and technically guild master 3. Thinks the outside world will take care of the Centuras anyway. Even if Cerelia was once a powerful time mage in her prime, she's all but lost her magic: he tells her this directly.
Jakey and Cerelia use the Protector's Guild's money to buy a flying ship, stock it, and get the hell out of Atlantide. As much as Jakey is hurt to abandon the guild and Cerelia sad to lose her home (she'd long lived in Atlantide city-state's territory whers she wasnt yknow. Illegal to exist) she comforts him that they'll be okay- they were going to leave anyway to find Kia and their father. They can stay moving, stay hidden- she knows what to do to keep them safe. She was supposed to be the last Centura to endure this kind of hardship. She thought saved her children from Kronos- she'll do it again. Jakey swears that even if he's left the Protector's Guild hall, he's still going to revive the Guild itself. He's brought the items that certify him as Guild Master (fun fact! The Protector's Guild in Plulesses's FTO Nexus, is canonically a fraud using their name illegally. This was agreed upon with Plu. The corrupt cop guild is NOT endorsed by Jakey Centura!!)
There's a timeskip-transition, and suddenly Kia is a part of the crew and friendly. And its revealed the Centura's mission has changed: find some more crewmates, and they're travelling the world to close time rifts that have opened. Theyre running around pretending to be a flying taxi service to have an excuse to move around the world.
The main characters that were planned to be additional crew were Winter (my main POV!) a chipper and supportive, if a bit clueless, ice mage(+) from the remote villages far north who was exiled for killing her father- a crime she DIDNT commit and is looking for the truth out in the greater world, and Sera (Kae's second character, also her main POV iirc?) A fire demon slayer who'd been kidnapped at a young age and forced into a demon slayer cult who forced her to become one (fun fact! This was a cult originally founded by Idyr, the god Biblico was following) there was another main character who is now redacted, but was gonna be a guy who found himself pulled far into the future and is trying to get home to both place and time. There were also some regional side characters who'd temporarily join the crew as well.
Early on one of the first people they transport with their taxi service is a young girl (iirc around age 10?) named Esther and her escort. She's a bright girl with magic, but is underestimated because she was born missing an arm. Winter is the youngest crew member and ends up hanging out with her. Esther is withdrawn and mellow- shes been passed around a few times, and is now heading to a relatives to stay with them. Shes often underestimated because of her missing arm, but she REALLY wants to learn magic! Winter sees that, and figures that she'd probably find good use in ice-make magic that Winter can teach her! Winter demonststes with her main attack spell- she holds out a pointed finger in front of her and pulls back and open palm with the gesture of drawing a bow. An icicle generated in the space between as an arrow. Winter shoves her palm forward and launches the icicle off the side of the ship! She tells Esther that even not having a second hand, its about controlling the flow of magic you feel in your whole body. A second hand is useful to control magic with gestures, but she doesnt think its needed. For Winter's icicle arrow, she uses her pointing hand to aim- thats the important part. Her other hand is the force and doesnt need to be as precise. Why dont we try doing something similar with Esther? Esther thinks about it a little before very quickly taking to ice magic. She's delighted! Its the first real magic she's learned! Winter is so happy for her! And when they arrive to their destination Esther tells Winter she's gonna keep learning magic. Winter says she hopes to see Esther again someday, then she can see how much she's grown! (Froggie and I agreed yes Winter taught Esther her first magic. When Esther offers to teach magic to that one Salode lady in FTO Nexus, this is where that's referring to!)
Im skipping all of the character development and plot reveals to say what actually happened: Jakey and Cerelia managed to get a ping off Kronos and found him. Cerelia encouraged Jakey to kill this Kronos, like she did for their world's Kronos (Cerelia backstory is somewhere here in this post.) Jakey kills Kronos with a huge amount of time magic, which between that kind of power and it being a man already in the wrong timeline, opens time rifts all across the world- entire areas now in a loop, or the past/future colliding with tbe present, or everything frozen... Kia was being mind controlled by Kronos, and this doesnt break when he's killed. Cerelia uses what little magic she's regained to copy a spell she'd seen her husband use to try and restore Kia's mind to herself... and make her forget she turned on her family (dad I think was some kind of memory mage? Or at least knew spells of it. Not memory-make like Eden and Devin! Much less OP but still rare, iirc another one that was banned in many places that isnt Atlantide, which was established (post main Origins iirc) that before Abraham was a radically-accepting place of mages to boost their popularity and draw in all these powerful people.) Cerelia officially pushes herself too far here and damages her magic container in her body, and loses her access to magic permanently. She cannot cast anything more than some magic sparkles. She tries not to feel bad about losing the thing that's defined her life for better and worse- it was a sacrifice for her daughter.
As they travel the world Jakey tries to assert himself as "guild master" and the crew acknowledges him as the guild master of his guild, doesn't consider themselves a part of his guild and therefore he doesnt have that authority over them- just as the guy who owns the flying ship theyre on. Jakey has trouble navigating that line at first, but as he builds relationships with the other crewmates they come to understand that Jakey's been abandoned by all his support systems except for his mom, who was recently imprisoned and now made disabled, and Jakey is really just trying to do the best he can in shouldering the responsibilities that have been forced on him.
Winter introduces herself as an ice-make mage, but that's not all she is. She's actually an ice DRAGON SLAYER who was apprenticed to her dragon and her father, the official ice dragon slayer and guardian of the nothern village alliance. When her father disappeared, their dragon in a frenzy and unwilling to talk to Winter, her people jumped to the conclusion SHE killed her own father and went to kill her- her mom, knowing she was innocent, got Winter to flee. Winter kept her dragon slaying heritage a secret as to not be identified with her accused crime- there are PLENTY of ice-make mages in the northern region, but only two ice dragon slayers. Since Winter was just an apprentice and had not learned about the full extent of the dragon slayer magic (Winter became the dragon's apprentice at age 16, she left when 17, turns 18 during the storyline) she had not undergone the ritual for getting a protective lacrima for the side effects of dragon slayer magic: draconization. As Winter uses her more powerful magic, she develops scales on her face/shoulders/arms, they get thicker and turn blue and white, she starts to grow horns, she gets more aloof personality and aggressive in fights- she's scared of herself. She asks Sera, if she goes too far, to kill her. She knows Sera is the only one who has the strength to do it. She doesn't want to become a dragon. In a fight on the ship Winter briefly loses control, almost goes full dragon- she's knocked out and recovers as herself, but she now has a dragon tail and all her symptoms are worse.
At some point in the 2nd half they go to the northern villages to close a time rift and Winter has to stay hidden on the ship in the villages that would immediately recognize her as a draconified dragon slayer. They meet Winter's mother, who accidentally reveals that Winter is their family name, and her first name is Eril! When teasingly confronted Winter is embarrased and reveals she originally just said she was "/A/ Winter" and was saying that the dragon slayer apprentice-murderer was her cousin she didn't really know. She didnt know how far the knowledge about the traditions of their village or the news had spread, so she just... kept the lie up until it was too awkward to admit. While the crew is in Winter's hometown the dragon, Glacia, goes on a rampage, and Winter reveals herself to confront and calm the dragon. The village raises arms against her while Glacia distantly accuses her of abandoning her duty. Winter, frustrated and hurt, exclaims she didnt do EITHER! She heard something was wrong that night and snuck out to go find and help him! When Winter got to Glacia's slayer, she was in a rampage and Winter couldnt talk to her! And when she goes back to the village for help she's accused of killing her DAD? She's just trying to find him...! The villagers hesitate. They kinda know Winter didnt do it, they realized after they chased her out, but theyre too stubborn to admit it. Glacia says that she has been distraught looking for her egg. That her father disappeared with the egg-stealers, he had been protecting her egg. Glacia has been rampaging after trying to find them and keeps failing. She looks over Winter's state and says she is sorry, she did not know about Winter. She was told by the villagers Winter had abandoned her duty and left. Glacia refused to consider a new dragon slayer until her egg and main slayer-guardian were found. Winter swears she's goinv to find her father and marches off alone. The rest of the crew catches up to her- they're REALLY not letting her do this alone now! (Previously I think Winter would have displayed pushing herself too far trying to prove herself and do things alone. Shes excitable and happy and can talk about lighter stuff and that masked her fear of relying on others but at this point the crew knows her better than that!)
They spend some time tracking and looking for clues and end up finding the poachers hiding out in the wilderness, in a weird place Glacia wouldnt think to look and also a large ice dragon is easy to spot and hide from. They find Winter's father, chained by the ankle but guarding a huge, smooth, blue egg. They find out that Winter's father, Castian, was unable to escape with the dragon egg when it was first stolen or since, but has been cooperative as long as he can guard the egg. But the poachers have secured a buyer and plan for the egg, so they need to get rid of Castian and move out. The crew stages a breakout and Castian is shocked to see the state of his daughter! But she and rescues him and the egg and they go home. Big reunion, the ice dragon guadian is home, the dragon egg is returned! But Winter is not happy- none of this needed to happen, if only ANYONE had taken a moment to listen. Her father was imprisoned for two years. She was exiled and has been permanently changed and can no longer fit in anywhere. Glacia has killed humans and destroyed their homes because the people turned against their dragon guardians whose lives are dedicated to keeping peace between humans and the dragon! Was this all worth it? Glacia is the first to admit her mistakes. She did not yet acknowledge Winter as a guardian at the time and was so focussed on her egg she could not see reason. She did not question the humans who told her lies. She did not question when she felt her magic being used, and she sees the concequence of that now in Winter. Glacia offers to make it right- the protection lacrima at Winter's neck wouldnt be enough at this stage of draconization. So Glacia will give up her physical body for the remainder of Winter's life, to stop any further draconization. The only thing is, someone will need to protect her egg for her. Castian and Winter immediately volunteer- Castian says he'll take the egg with him until Winter finishes her mission with the crew. With him, asks the town? Castian coldly turns tk them and states they abandoned him for two years. They threw out his innocent daughter. They shunned his wife. They thought he's staying? Glacia is leaving too. This village has lost the protection of the dragon and her guardians. Castian and Winter's mom (I forget her name and cant find the notes o(-< ) leave with the crew aboard the flying ship and settle in the major city in the northern region.
I dont know much about Sera's story, but I know she goes from trusting no one, hyper-aggressive and closed off as a defensive mechanism, to starting to trust and let herself be vulnerable, and supported by good people. She and Winter start off rocky- they share a cabin on the flying ship, but obviously ice and fire don't mix! But eventually they see each other as a sister. Sera's confronted by her cult a few times and each time she becomes stronger by getting away. She does find her cult killed her family though, even though they were in a whole other part of the world and didnt know what happened to Sera.
As they're travelling this spell on Kia starts to degrade, and the mind-control comes back. She's starting to get intrusive thoughts and memories, and she's having more and more moments of hostility. Jakey and Cerelia are concerned and try to stop it without telling Kia what's happened/happening to her. They fail, the reversal spell snaps, Kia kills their still-comatose father once and for all and flees. Cerelia is DEVESTATED- her husband of twenty years, the man she fought and defeated her enemy for, the man she chose a humble, peaceful life for, is gone. Killed by their daughter. Killed by her ENEMY who wasnt supposed to be here!
They've more or less finished up closing time rifts at this point, and the chase is now on for Kia. The crew is distrustful of the remaining Centuras- why would they do that to Kia? What else are they hiding from them? Jakey owns up to his mistakes and explains the time rifts, explains Kronos, explains what happened in Atlantide. Cerelia explains her and the family's history: time magic was once the pride of a powerful civilization. But then too many started to disobey their rules of using it, overusing it and using it for harm. The Centura family took up a role of being guardians of time, correcting these errors, persecuting those who used it wrong, being advisors of its use. After stopping a major catastrophe, the Centuras were simply the only ones allowed to use time magic, and other mages were killed or forced to give up their time magic into lacrimas. The Centuras allowed spells to be cast on them that essentially turned the Arc of Time magic into a kind curse on their bloodline: the firstborn would always have time magic so that the magic would continue. Should the main line end, the magic would manifest in anyone related's next children. As time went on, this culling of time magic except for the Centuras turned into laws banning time magic in general, forgetting their exception and making the Centuras black magic users despite being otherwise. She believes the culling of time mages in ancient history is where Kronos came from: a family line sworn to wipe out the last remnants of time magic from the people who were allowed to keep it. The Centuras have been hunted by a Kronos for generations... until Cerelia finally killed the last one who opposed her. Her husband had been this world's Kronos's brother, a weaker son who was sent to infiltrate and spy to be made useful. But he never saw the point in this fight and very early on defected to Cerelia's side- and fell in love with her. Cerelia swore in her youth to end the terror of Kronos so she could live a normal life, and did so in her early-mid twenties. She was a rogue mage, a liv9ng legend- if she joined a guild it was temporary, and she was a force of nature with her power and control of time. Once Kronos was dead she used what fame and wealth she'd earned to settle down with her husband on a remote island in Atlantide's territory, live the simple life she always wanted and eventually raised her kids. When the crew learned of the lengths she had to go to secure her safety, it makes more sense why she went to extremes trying to save her daughter. Didnt excuse it, but made sense. But Jakey and Cerelia are done hiding from the world and are going to make this ACTUALLY right.
The final battle happens with Kia. Throughout it everyone who's bonded with her helps to break through the mind-control and let her be in control of herself. She surrenders, and is emotionally defeated- the mind control gone, she doesnt want to fight. Everyone comes together to help Kia. She's their friend, the family, their crewmate- they know this isnt really her. The mind control left some permanent changes though- Kia is harsh, judgemental, irritable. She hasnt fully forgiven her family, but they're working past it. She wants to be better- just not under anyone's control of what she should be. (We didnt want to kill Kia after the several death scares in FTO5 and here so she gets better!)
At the end of all this, the crew returns to Jakey's idea of being a proper Guild. They figure that they kind of already are as a crew, arent they? The traditional idea of a guild doesnt mean much to them, but they fly under the same flag and Jakey is their leader- so why not Guild leader? They change their symbol to be an adaptation of the Protector's (I had a sketch somewhere but can't find it) and start calling themselves the Protector's _____.
THAT'S ALL THE OFFICIAL INFO I REMEMBER! If this somehow ever gets made even if I dont think it will be pretend you havent read this and you dont know the story alright?
Aside from that, because im So Normal have some headcanons about post-story (featuring Winter cause she's my main character in this)
Winter only develops classic dragon slayer motion sickness after Gracia starts residing within her- she wasnt powerful enough to have it until then LOL takeoff and landing suck but being in the air is typically fine for her as long as there's no turbulance.
The _____ is there at the end cause we never really discussed what the name would be, only that at the end they'd agree to be a guild. I personally think it should be Protector's Fleet, and as they help people between their technically-not-official-but-still-legit business of taxiing as well as helping people around the world and being rewarded, they save up enough to buy another (and then more) flying ships. Jakey keeps control of the main ship and is guild leader, but the Fleet ends up having a more independent network structure as different ships help with different areas and parts of the world. I think at some point they do eventually get their taxi business registered somewhere that doesnt mind them (I think it was the northern capital city? Which in lore was where airships commonly came from anyway- a natural bowl in the cold, windy mountains collecting air magic and generating lacrimas. The city itself is built upon a massive floating piece of land that ripped itself out of the ground! So it made sense that they developed technology and infrastructure to build airships.
Eventually (in like 5-6 years) Winter becomes captain of her own ship, and she has a specific goal in mind: get into Atlantide. Theyve heard over the years of how people in Atlantide are struggling- mages constantly under control and survaillance, normal people restricted. It looks good from the outside, a lawless city finally under control, but from inside...? But the Protector's Fleet hasnt been able to get in. Security is fairly high looking for illegal mages and contraband, and Jakey and several of the guild members are known mages there. Winter is unknown to Atlantide though, and her only problem is her appearance- blue scales, horns, and a tail are definitely weird. But she SLOWLY makes and builds contacts from within Atlantide, and eventually is able to organize an escape mission for a group of underground refugees. President Emily actually does confront Winter on this mission having intercepted some correspondence, but as agrees to let Winter do this one mission to get these people out of the city where they arent safe. Winter eventually gets a handful of these missions done over time- not often, but enough to get info about the state of the city-state and get people out.
At some point she also meets Esther again! Who's all grown up now, 10+ years later from their first meeting. Theyve both changed a lot: Winter is half dragon, Esther a light mage and solo GMG champion. They have a great time catching up as equals before parting ways- Winter promises Esther a free ride if she ever wants it though!
In planning the first Atlantide mission, Winter meets a letter-make mage from Atlantide called Ink. Ink was an orphan in Atlantide and grew up on the streets- she was determined to learn to read as a kid, and ended up doing so as well as learning magic with it. She has a spell for every letter of the alphabet- A for apple, for example, teleports an apple from a specific place at a fruit seller's stall she once visited... she stole a lot of apples as a kid to eat with that spell. Ink was part of an underground "guild" (more of a speakeasy for rogue, illegal, or outcast mages to just have a safe space. It was very well regulated and guarded) but got out of Atlantide on a guild mission and now cant get back in. Ink was the one who got Winter in contact with someone on Atlantide's inside with the underground guild to make that whole thing possible. Ink ends up joining the Protector's Fleet, along with some of her guildmates who fled Atlantide in that mission. Ink and Winter end up together!
And eventually Glacia's egg does hatch. Castian and Winter's mom call Winter back to home base when they start noticing it changing, and Winter and Ink are there (partly introducing Ink to Winter's parents lol) when the egg hatches! And so then Winter and Ink adopt a baby dragon as their kid and have him on board their ship (this causes so much chaos btw.) Ink ends up picking up a young orphan boy she met somewhere and they end up raising two sons: one dragon one human, who thankfully end up very close themselves.
I cant really speak on anyone else's characters post-main story, Ive never been told. But I like to think Jakey ended up a great guild master and builds the Protector's Fleet to something that outlasts him- a neutral guild, a crisis relief party, mediators, and people who just do what's right no matter the restrictions. Eventually Atlantide finds out about this guild and calls them thieves, only for Jakey/the guild masters after him to turn it around and have all the proof THEYRE the real Protector's Guild, not the one in Atlantide and theyre DISGUSTED by the actions done with the Protector's name. Personally, I don't think Jakey ever returns to Atlantide. I do think Atlantidean mages might board his ship(s) though and maybe have a reunion- or maybe hide from people who didnt like him- or maybe prove they were wrong about him and show he was never given a chance- or confront the people who abandoned him and let him with no one maybe get apologies.
But this is just what I think.
If you were into Origins and read this please let me know 🥺 I spent about 6 months of my life trying to make this story happen and a full 5 hours writing this today and Id really appreciate knowing what people think of this, even in its messy state. Origins tended to do Jakey and me dirty but we had some really good ideas that never got showcasee but Id like to think a few people out there now know the full story
IVE REFOUND A BUNCH OF ASSETS FROM PREPRODUCTION DAYS!
First off the pinterest board is called "Travels of a Time Mage" which was the original working name on my side when the only thing we knew about it was that it was centering around the Centuras. If this would have been a solo POV series just with Jakey or just the Centuras it could be called that, but once Kae and I decided our main POVs would NOT be our Centuras we felt that didn't work anymore.
And now, a photo dump!
Jakey's FTOS design! I did actually model the hat and I use it commonly as an example item from my resource pack lmao. Never did get the staff made but I probably SHOULD given how much I looove making magic staffs and stuff. Jakey had a clock dial design motif, and his magic was most connected to the "present" of time!
Kia Centura! Our lovely morally gray doomed sister :) We had a thing that since Jakey had blue hair, that all the Centuras probably had weird hair too- at least everyone with time magic, since daddy dearest did NOT pass on anything of relevance. IIRC the Centura siblings' brown eyes were from him though :) Kia had an infinity design motif, and was most connected to the future of time magic- this was what made her difficult to track when she turned, she was able to see (SOME) of the future and avoid it.
Cerelia Centura! She is much younger than she appears (only in 40s) but between having time magic that when she rewinds time it doesn't rewind HER time, and her being imprisoned, drained of her magic, and starved, has had a toll on her. Cerelia in FTO5 was wearing much more regal clothes- what she was kidnapped in, something that one reflected her status with rarity and power as a time mage. She took on a much humbler attire here now that she's on the run with her kids- something she is not unfamiliar with but dislikes. She's hiding much worry behind that smile in the drawn ref. Cerelia is (and always has been) connected to the past of time magic. She was always focused on her lineage as a Centura, the history, their fates- and also in meta planning, Cerelia's glory days and the most of her story, is all long behind her. Her design motif was trying to be sundials, and also the "head of house" connecting past, present, and future (though personally, I think I should have chosen just one and not trying to do 2 conflicting designs)
The Centuras each had their diadem- an hourglass spinner, something Cerelia made as an heirloom for the future of her family. Jakey's is pinned so that each end points to the four main points on a clock proper and right, Kia's is askew (much like she is with her family) and Cerelia's is aligned straight up, but the sand inside has stopped draining and is all fallen to the bottom- her magic is gone.
WINTER FTOS MY *BELOVED* she had Toothless eyes that the pupils grew and shrank with emotion! The symptom of dragonification appeared soon after she left home- once she had left the protection of Glacia and her father and started using her more powerful magic for protection, though she didn't know when it started what it was. Then the peach scales started growing in, which would have hardened into the bright blue scales shown in the drawn art in the first image with Winter using magic- which was specifically drawn as the worst dragonified Winter would get. The other two outfits were of her post-series outfits (neither of which I liked that much tbh. I wanted her to be more pirate-y but also a little more put together as she was older here.) I made Winter with a more pixelated style because I personally hate making full HD and wanted to die doing everyone else's skins with full HD so I made Winter with the style I liked :)
Sera the fire demon slayer! you can't see it but she had a horse embroidered onto the back of her outfit- kind of wonky because she did it herself. Her family owned a horse ranch in a far-off part of the world, and she had loved the horses growing up until she was taken away from them. The chains were a bit of her edginess, but also for her feeling imprisoned by the fear of her cult chasing her down. Her eyes were supposed to invert between the purple and blue when her demon was taking control or something like that? Never made the skin though.
For funsies here are some extra things I made! Pretty drawing of Winter on the airship, Jakey in a gay hat, diagram of the airship (on left side, only bottom on is closest to what it actually looked like), mostly-done ship build, Seeing Beyond The Mortal Plane Winter (cursed early expression attempt), Protector's Fleet guild mark concepts, and dancing Winter gif :)
uhhh I have a world map that everyone participating in various Fairy Tail series at the time were collaborating on but that's got too many spoilers of other people's projects on there so I can't show that sadly. Instead I'll show my region, the one Winter was from!
(tbh I forgot I had named half of these but I have a 2k word document in a .txt file about all this like the madwoman I am so LOREDUMP TIME UNDER THE CUT CAUSE IT'S A LOT and this post is already SO long)
adding more to the already "do you love the color of the sky?" FTOS post
my personal theme song for FTOS was "Young Volcanoes" by Fall Out Boy and I have a whole AMV/theme sequence like old Origins intros in my head for it that will never get made because 1. I dont animate 2. it features characters who arent actually part of it from earliest planning/are now redacted
speaking of! do NOT go to the creators about it but I saw a post in the FTO tag that made me think of this. We did ask Mitch and Colin if they wanted to be part of this, they both expressed interest but ultimately had to say no upon further consideration (which was no problem!)
but imagining a world where Viper or FTO!Colin fleeing Atlantide in the wake of being hunted down by Abraham's forces for their Past Mass Murders and Such, and teaming up with TIME BOY JAKEY and getting whiplash with how his character changed, is a VERY fun concept in my mind. (And also I am very biased imagining all the different potential ways those dragon slayers could interact with MY dragon slayer Winter is like infinite fanfic potential. for a series that doesnt exist. this is my roman empire)
also briefly returning to the post-series headcanons about the future. In my personal beliefs, in many many decades when Jakey and everyone dies, I think Glacia's son (the dragon) takes over the Protector's Fleet as guild leader. He grew up in the guild, on the boats, and is far too used to human life to consider living like a wild dragon. Something Glacia passed onto Winter and/or Castian through their bonds once they took guardianship of her egg, was that she wanted her offspring to understand the humans he would live alongside far better than she ever could. So yeah mini-dragon is very much human-minded, as much as a dragon can be.
In my REALLY crazy headcanons that have absolutely 0 evidence to support it, I think it would be interesting if dragons aren't born with their magic inherited from their parents, but rather just large amounts of raw power and Ethernano. As a dragon ages they adapt to their surroundings, and become an element aligned with where they live.
And well. Consider. Dragon baby on airships ran by family of time mages. TIME DRAGON GUILD MASTER.
(IIRC this was also my way of pondering how to maybe not have time magic die with Jakey and Kia cause one is gay and the other I think Kae said wouldnt have kids regardless of anything, so technically that branch of Arc of Time would die with them.)
Okay but seriously, having a practically-immortal dragon guild master that also has time magic and was taught and raised by the original founders of the Protector's Fleet means that this rogue guild has SUCH more longevity and power in the world- not bound by borders, and will last LIFETIMES because the guildmaster, being who he is, would keep running the guild with the original intentions in mind, making the Fleet be an inevitable force to be reckoned with as they can't corrupt from inside, difficult to locate let alone defeat, and their mission is to be do-gooders and stick their noses in dark forces' business to save people and help the suffering. And I just think imagining how the world could look 100 years into the future with such a faction existing is Interesting :)
(also, interesting to think about this dragonling in his youngest days having a human brother and two moms and a great big family. and eventually they're gone and he's still here. and it doesnt feel like the blink of an eye to the dragonling because that havent lived so long yet. but he knows hes going to live so, so, SO long, and the distance growing further and further from his family scares him so much he SWEARS to never forget their faces... and growing into time magic, lets him keep them for longer. In his mind, in the world, preserving objects from them and images of them. The Centuras, the Winters, the original crew of the Protector's Fleet, are remembered in the world far beyond their generations because the dragon they raised believed in their ideals to the extent of etching them into the history of the world.)
I know you were planning to make a continuation with fto based off the time mage family at some point but sadly not never got produced. So I was wondering if you ever had like a solid plot planned out or what the plans were with it. I remember you streaming making some designs, and I was so intrigued about it, it's always been on my mind.
YESSS IM ALSO SO SAD ABOUT IT. I tried really hard on it, but I ended up being the only one really committed and I couldnt get everyone fully on board. Then one of our main people leaving the Internet kinda was a final blow.
There was definitely a solid concept! Refresher: Jakey's FTO5 ended on Jakey Centura going to rescue his kidnapped family from Kronos, an evil mage from Ultimate Jakey's dimension who's wrecked havoc on the his nemeses, the Centura family of time mages, in this world. Jakey succeeds in freeing his very weakened mother, Cerelia, but cant save his father and loses his sister to Kronos in the process. Jakey is forcefully aged up by using a large amount of his time magic- to an extent that would have killed any other time mage, but Jakey had a special quirk (I think born during an eclipse? The few moments of totality and his birth affecting how his magic worked slightly. Not majorly, but important for Kronos's plans.) Jakey and Cerelia return to the Protector's guild and immediately try to get help and find Jakey's sister (Kia) and their dad (who I dont think was ever named as a running joke of his relevance.) Cerelia's far too weak to meaningfully use magic, having been starved and probably at least somewhat tortured, as well as just held in a cramped cell for over 1-2 years, and Jakey is trying to keep everything together about what just happened. Then Jakey meets with Lo'Pho, who informs Jakey he's leaving Atlantide and the Protector's Guild, and is making Jakey Guild Master... a master with no guild. Jakey is quite literally the last member of the Protector's. Someone who the rest of the Atlantide mages see as a joke and a child and evrn if not, have abandoned and refused to help. Jakey ends on continuing having to push down any fear to now take up this mantle of guild master and find his family.
(Fun fact! This wasnt the planned ending point for FTO5. Hence why we wanted to do FTOS in the first place, since the moment FTO5 ended. cc!Bryan delayed the failed wedding scenes for TWO IRL MONTHS cause he wanted to screw around with Davis's character, even though the wedding was always planned to fail and Bryan would have left Jakey's story anyway. Yes this is FamousFilms /neg Im kinda tired of everyone loving that guy when hes a egotistial narscissist who only acknowledges ppl with clout from my experience.)
Somewhere in here Kia reappears: and attacks her brother and mother. I think here she might kidnap the dad's comatose body? She's under the control of Kronos.
FTOS would have picked up only about a week after the end of FTO5. Jakey and Cerelia would get a visit from Abraham, the man who defeated Allumos and Grimshade and took over Atlantide's Magic Council. He informs the time mages that time magic is now banned in Atlantide and gives them a few days to leave. Atlantide was one of, if not the ONLY place in the whole world, where time magic wasnt banned, and now it is. Abraham is only giving them a warning because 1. He sees Jakey as a nonthreat 2. Doesnt want to deal with the potential public problem of imprisoning/killing a well-liked, perceived as innocent, niaeve child, and technically guild master 3. Thinks the outside world will take care of the Centuras anyway. Even if Cerelia was once a powerful time mage in her prime, she's all but lost her magic: he tells her this directly.
Jakey and Cerelia use the Protector's Guild's money to buy a flying ship, stock it, and get the hell out of Atlantide. As much as Jakey is hurt to abandon the guild and Cerelia sad to lose her home (she'd long lived in Atlantide city-state's territory whers she wasnt yknow. Illegal to exist) she comforts him that they'll be okay- they were going to leave anyway to find Kia and their father. They can stay moving, stay hidden- she knows what to do to keep them safe. She was supposed to be the last Centura to endure this kind of hardship. She thought saved her children from Kronos- she'll do it again. Jakey swears that even if he's left the Protector's Guild hall, he's still going to revive the Guild itself. He's brought the items that certify him as Guild Master (fun fact! The Protector's Guild in Plulesses's FTO Nexus, is canonically a fraud using their name illegally. This was agreed upon with Plu. The corrupt cop guild is NOT endorsed by Jakey Centura!!)
There's a timeskip-transition, and suddenly Kia is a part of the crew and friendly. And its revealed the Centura's mission has changed: find some more crewmates, and they're travelling the world to close time rifts that have opened. Theyre running around pretending to be a flying taxi service to have an excuse to move around the world.
The main characters that were planned to be additional crew were Winter (my main POV!) a chipper and supportive, if a bit clueless, ice mage(+) from the remote villages far north who was exiled for killing her father- a crime she DIDNT commit and is looking for the truth out in the greater world, and Sera (Kae's second character, also her main POV iirc?) A fire demon slayer who'd been kidnapped at a young age and forced into a demon slayer cult who forced her to become one (fun fact! This was a cult originally founded by Idyr, the god Biblico was following) there was another main character who is now redacted, but was gonna be a guy who found himself pulled far into the future and is trying to get home to both place and time. There were also some regional side characters who'd temporarily join the crew as well.
Early on one of the first people they transport with their taxi service is a young girl (iirc around age 10?) named Esther and her escort. She's a bright girl with magic, but is underestimated because she was born missing an arm. Winter is the youngest crew member and ends up hanging out with her. Esther is withdrawn and mellow- shes been passed around a few times, and is now heading to a relatives to stay with them. Shes often underestimated because of her missing arm, but she REALLY wants to learn magic! Winter sees that, and figures that she'd probably find good use in ice-make magic that Winter can teach her! Winter demonststes with her main attack spell- she holds out a pointed finger in front of her and pulls back and open palm with the gesture of drawing a bow. An icicle generated in the space between as an arrow. Winter shoves her palm forward and launches the icicle off the side of the ship! She tells Esther that even not having a second hand, its about controlling the flow of magic you feel in your whole body. A second hand is useful to control magic with gestures, but she doesnt think its needed. For Winter's icicle arrow, she uses her pointing hand to aim- thats the important part. Her other hand is the force and doesnt need to be as precise. Why dont we try doing something similar with Esther? Esther thinks about it a little before very quickly taking to ice magic. She's delighted! Its the first real magic she's learned! Winter is so happy for her! And when they arrive to their destination Esther tells Winter she's gonna keep learning magic. Winter says she hopes to see Esther again someday, then she can see how much she's grown! (Froggie and I agreed yes Winter taught Esther her first magic. When Esther offers to teach magic to that one Salode lady in FTO Nexus, this is where that's referring to!)
Im skipping all of the character development and plot reveals to say what actually happened: Jakey and Cerelia managed to get a ping off Kronos and found him. Cerelia encouraged Jakey to kill this Kronos, like she did for their world's Kronos (Cerelia backstory is somewhere here in this post.) Jakey kills Kronos with a huge amount of time magic, which between that kind of power and it being a man already in the wrong timeline, opens time rifts all across the world- entire areas now in a loop, or the past/future colliding with tbe present, or everything frozen... Kia was being mind controlled by Kronos, and this doesnt break when he's killed. Cerelia uses what little magic she's regained to copy a spell she'd seen her husband use to try and restore Kia's mind to herself... and make her forget she turned on her family (dad I think was some kind of memory mage? Or at least knew spells of it. Not memory-make like Eden and Devin! Much less OP but still rare, iirc another one that was banned in many places that isnt Atlantide, which was established (post main Origins iirc) that before Abraham was a radically-accepting place of mages to boost their popularity and draw in all these powerful people.) Cerelia officially pushes herself too far here and damages her magic container in her body, and loses her access to magic permanently. She cannot cast anything more than some magic sparkles. She tries not to feel bad about losing the thing that's defined her life for better and worse- it was a sacrifice for her daughter.
As they travel the world Jakey tries to assert himself as "guild master" and the crew acknowledges him as the guild master of his guild, doesn't consider themselves a part of his guild and therefore he doesnt have that authority over them- just as the guy who owns the flying ship theyre on. Jakey has trouble navigating that line at first, but as he builds relationships with the other crewmates they come to understand that Jakey's been abandoned by all his support systems except for his mom, who was recently imprisoned and now made disabled, and Jakey is really just trying to do the best he can in shouldering the responsibilities that have been forced on him.
Winter introduces herself as an ice-make mage, but that's not all she is. She's actually an ice DRAGON SLAYER who was apprenticed to her dragon and her father, the official ice dragon slayer and guardian of the nothern village alliance. When her father disappeared, their dragon in a frenzy and unwilling to talk to Winter, her people jumped to the conclusion SHE killed her own father and went to kill her- her mom, knowing she was innocent, got Winter to flee. Winter kept her dragon slaying heritage a secret as to not be identified with her accused crime- there are PLENTY of ice-make mages in the northern region, but only two ice dragon slayers. Since Winter was just an apprentice and had not learned about the full extent of the dragon slayer magic (Winter became the dragon's apprentice at age 16, she left when 17, turns 18 during the storyline) she had not undergone the ritual for getting a protective lacrima for the side effects of dragon slayer magic: draconization. As Winter uses her more powerful magic, she develops scales on her face/shoulders/arms, they get thicker and turn blue and white, she starts to grow horns, she gets more aloof personality and aggressive in fights- she's scared of herself. She asks Sera, if she goes too far, to kill her. She knows Sera is the only one who has the strength to do it. She doesn't want to become a dragon. In a fight on the ship Winter briefly loses control, almost goes full dragon- she's knocked out and recovers as herself, but she now has a dragon tail and all her symptoms are worse.
At some point in the 2nd half they go to the northern villages to close a time rift and Winter has to stay hidden on the ship in the villages that would immediately recognize her as a draconified dragon slayer. They meet Winter's mother, who accidentally reveals that Winter is their family name, and her first name is Eril! When teasingly confronted Winter is embarrased and reveals she originally just said she was "/A/ Winter" and was saying that the dragon slayer apprentice-murderer was her cousin she didn't really know. She didnt know how far the knowledge about the traditions of their village or the news had spread, so she just... kept the lie up until it was too awkward to admit. While the crew is in Winter's hometown the dragon, Glacia, goes on a rampage, and Winter reveals herself to confront and calm the dragon. The village raises arms against her while Glacia distantly accuses her of abandoning her duty. Winter, frustrated and hurt, exclaims she didnt do EITHER! She heard something was wrong that night and snuck out to go find and help him! When Winter got to Glacia's slayer, she was in a rampage and Winter couldnt talk to her! And when she goes back to the village for help she's accused of killing her DAD? She's just trying to find him...! The villagers hesitate. They kinda know Winter didnt do it, they realized after they chased her out, but theyre too stubborn to admit it. Glacia says that she has been distraught looking for her egg. That her father disappeared with the egg-stealers, he had been protecting her egg. Glacia has been rampaging after trying to find them and keeps failing. She looks over Winter's state and says she is sorry, she did not know about Winter. She was told by the villagers Winter had abandoned her duty and left. Glacia refused to consider a new dragon slayer until her egg and main slayer-guardian were found. Winter swears she's goinv to find her father and marches off alone. The rest of the crew catches up to her- they're REALLY not letting her do this alone now! (Previously I think Winter would have displayed pushing herself too far trying to prove herself and do things alone. Shes excitable and happy and can talk about lighter stuff and that masked her fear of relying on others but at this point the crew knows her better than that!)
They spend some time tracking and looking for clues and end up finding the poachers hiding out in the wilderness, in a weird place Glacia wouldnt think to look and also a large ice dragon is easy to spot and hide from. They find Winter's father, chained by the ankle but guarding a huge, smooth, blue egg. They find out that Winter's father, Castian, was unable to escape with the dragon egg when it was first stolen or since, but has been cooperative as long as he can guard the egg. But the poachers have secured a buyer and plan for the egg, so they need to get rid of Castian and move out. The crew stages a breakout and Castian is shocked to see the state of his daughter! But she and rescues him and the egg and they go home. Big reunion, the ice dragon guadian is home, the dragon egg is returned! But Winter is not happy- none of this needed to happen, if only ANYONE had taken a moment to listen. Her father was imprisoned for two years. She was exiled and has been permanently changed and can no longer fit in anywhere. Glacia has killed humans and destroyed their homes because the people turned against their dragon guardians whose lives are dedicated to keeping peace between humans and the dragon! Was this all worth it? Glacia is the first to admit her mistakes. She did not yet acknowledge Winter as a guardian at the time and was so focussed on her egg she could not see reason. She did not question the humans who told her lies. She did not question when she felt her magic being used, and she sees the concequence of that now in Winter. Glacia offers to make it right- the protection lacrima at Winter's neck wouldnt be enough at this stage of draconization. So Glacia will give up her physical body for the remainder of Winter's life, to stop any further draconization. The only thing is, someone will need to protect her egg for her. Castian and Winter immediately volunteer- Castian says he'll take the egg with him until Winter finishes her mission with the crew. With him, asks the town? Castian coldly turns tk them and states they abandoned him for two years. They threw out his innocent daughter. They shunned his wife. They thought he's staying? Glacia is leaving too. This village has lost the protection of the dragon and her guardians. Castian and Winter's mom (I forget her name and cant find the notes o(-< ) leave with the crew aboard the flying ship and settle in the major city in the northern region.
I dont know much about Sera's story, but I know she goes from trusting no one, hyper-aggressive and closed off as a defensive mechanism, to starting to trust and let herself be vulnerable, and supported by good people. She and Winter start off rocky- they share a cabin on the flying ship, but obviously ice and fire don't mix! But eventually they see each other as a sister. Sera's confronted by her cult a few times and each time she becomes stronger by getting away. She does find her cult killed her family though, even though they were in a whole other part of the world and didnt know what happened to Sera.
As they're travelling this spell on Kia starts to degrade, and the mind-control comes back. She's starting to get intrusive thoughts and memories, and she's having more and more moments of hostility. Jakey and Cerelia are concerned and try to stop it without telling Kia what's happened/happening to her. They fail, the reversal spell snaps, Kia kills their still-comatose father once and for all and flees. Cerelia is DEVESTATED- her husband of twenty years, the man she fought and defeated her enemy for, the man she chose a humble, peaceful life for, is gone. Killed by their daughter. Killed by her ENEMY who wasnt supposed to be here!
They've more or less finished up closing time rifts at this point, and the chase is now on for Kia. The crew is distrustful of the remaining Centuras- why would they do that to Kia? What else are they hiding from them? Jakey owns up to his mistakes and explains the time rifts, explains Kronos, explains what happened in Atlantide. Cerelia explains her and the family's history: time magic was once the pride of a powerful civilization. But then too many started to disobey their rules of using it, overusing it and using it for harm. The Centura family took up a role of being guardians of time, correcting these errors, persecuting those who used it wrong, being advisors of its use. After stopping a major catastrophe, the Centuras were simply the only ones allowed to use time magic, and other mages were killed or forced to give up their time magic into lacrimas. The Centuras allowed spells to be cast on them that essentially turned the Arc of Time magic into a kind curse on their bloodline: the firstborn would always have time magic so that the magic would continue. Should the main line end, the magic would manifest in anyone related's next children. As time went on, this culling of time magic except for the Centuras turned into laws banning time magic in general, forgetting their exception and making the Centuras black magic users despite being otherwise. She believes the culling of time mages in ancient history is where Kronos came from: a family line sworn to wipe out the last remnants of time magic from the people who were allowed to keep it. The Centuras have been hunted by a Kronos for generations... until Cerelia finally killed the last one who opposed her. Her husband had been this world's Kronos's brother, a weaker son who was sent to infiltrate and spy to be made useful. But he never saw the point in this fight and very early on defected to Cerelia's side- and fell in love with her. Cerelia swore in her youth to end the terror of Kronos so she could live a normal life, and did so in her early-mid twenties. She was a rogue mage, a liv9ng legend- if she joined a guild it was temporary, and she was a force of nature with her power and control of time. Once Kronos was dead she used what fame and wealth she'd earned to settle down with her husband on a remote island in Atlantide's territory, live the simple life she always wanted and eventually raised her kids. When the crew learned of the lengths she had to go to secure her safety, it makes more sense why she went to extremes trying to save her daughter. Didnt excuse it, but made sense. But Jakey and Cerelia are done hiding from the world and are going to make this ACTUALLY right.
The final battle happens with Kia. Throughout it everyone who's bonded with her helps to break through the mind-control and let her be in control of herself. She surrenders, and is emotionally defeated- the mind control gone, she doesnt want to fight. Everyone comes together to help Kia. She's their friend, the family, their crewmate- they know this isnt really her. The mind control left some permanent changes though- Kia is harsh, judgemental, irritable. She hasnt fully forgiven her family, but they're working past it. She wants to be better- just not under anyone's control of what she should be. (We didnt want to kill Kia after the several death scares in FTO5 and here so she gets better!)
At the end of all this, the crew returns to Jakey's idea of being a proper Guild. They figure that they kind of already are as a crew, arent they? The traditional idea of a guild doesnt mean much to them, but they fly under the same flag and Jakey is their leader- so why not Guild leader? They change their symbol to be an adaptation of the Protector's (I had a sketch somewhere but can't find it) and start calling themselves the Protector's _____.
THAT'S ALL THE OFFICIAL INFO I REMEMBER! If this somehow ever gets made even if I dont think it will be pretend you havent read this and you dont know the story alright?
Aside from that, because im So Normal have some headcanons about post-story (featuring Winter cause she's my main character in this)
Winter only develops classic dragon slayer motion sickness after Gracia starts residing within her- she wasnt powerful enough to have it until then LOL takeoff and landing suck but being in the air is typically fine for her as long as there's no turbulance.
The _____ is there at the end cause we never really discussed what the name would be, only that at the end they'd agree to be a guild. I personally think it should be Protector's Fleet, and as they help people between their technically-not-official-but-still-legit business of taxiing as well as helping people around the world and being rewarded, they save up enough to buy another (and then more) flying ships. Jakey keeps control of the main ship and is guild leader, but the Fleet ends up having a more independent network structure as different ships help with different areas and parts of the world. I think at some point they do eventually get their taxi business registered somewhere that doesnt mind them (I think it was the northern capital city? Which in lore was where airships commonly came from anyway- a natural bowl in the cold, windy mountains collecting air magic and generating lacrimas. The city itself is built upon a massive floating piece of land that ripped itself out of the ground! So it made sense that they developed technology and infrastructure to build airships.
Eventually (in like 5-6 years) Winter becomes captain of her own ship, and she has a specific goal in mind: get into Atlantide. Theyve heard over the years of how people in Atlantide are struggling- mages constantly under control and survaillance, normal people restricted. It looks good from the outside, a lawless city finally under control, but from inside...? But the Protector's Fleet hasnt been able to get in. Security is fairly high looking for illegal mages and contraband, and Jakey and several of the guild members are known mages there. Winter is unknown to Atlantide though, and her only problem is her appearance- blue scales, horns, and a tail are definitely weird. But she SLOWLY makes and builds contacts from within Atlantide, and eventually is able to organize an escape mission for a group of underground refugees. President Emily actually does confront Winter on this mission having intercepted some correspondence, but as agrees to let Winter do this one mission to get these people out of the city where they arent safe. Winter eventually gets a handful of these missions done over time- not often, but enough to get info about the state of the city-state and get people out.
At some point she also meets Esther again! Who's all grown up now, 10+ years later from their first meeting. Theyve both changed a lot: Winter is half dragon, Esther a light mage and solo GMG champion. They have a great time catching up as equals before parting ways- Winter promises Esther a free ride if she ever wants it though!
In planning the first Atlantide mission, Winter meets a letter-make mage from Atlantide called Ink. Ink was an orphan in Atlantide and grew up on the streets- she was determined to learn to read as a kid, and ended up doing so as well as learning magic with it. She has a spell for every letter of the alphabet- A for apple, for example, teleports an apple from a specific place at a fruit seller's stall she once visited... she stole a lot of apples as a kid to eat with that spell. Ink was part of an underground "guild" (more of a speakeasy for rogue, illegal, or outcast mages to just have a safe space. It was very well regulated and guarded) but got out of Atlantide on a guild mission and now cant get back in. Ink was the one who got Winter in contact with someone on Atlantide's inside with the underground guild to make that whole thing possible. Ink ends up joining the Protector's Fleet, along with some of her guildmates who fled Atlantide in that mission. Ink and Winter end up together!
And eventually Glacia's egg does hatch. Castian and Winter's mom call Winter back to home base when they start noticing it changing, and Winter and Ink are there (partly introducing Ink to Winter's parents lol) when the egg hatches! And so then Winter and Ink adopt a baby dragon as their kid and have him on board their ship (this causes so much chaos btw.) Ink ends up picking up a young orphan boy she met somewhere and they end up raising two sons: one dragon one human, who thankfully end up very close themselves.
I cant really speak on anyone else's characters post-main story, Ive never been told. But I like to think Jakey ended up a great guild master and builds the Protector's Fleet to something that outlasts him- a neutral guild, a crisis relief party, mediators, and people who just do what's right no matter the restrictions. Eventually Atlantide finds out about this guild and calls them thieves, only for Jakey/the guild masters after him to turn it around and have all the proof THEYRE the real Protector's Guild, not the one in Atlantide and theyre DISGUSTED by the actions done with the Protector's name. Personally, I don't think Jakey ever returns to Atlantide. I do think Atlantidean mages might board his ship(s) though and maybe have a reunion- or maybe hide from people who didnt like him- or maybe prove they were wrong about him and show he was never given a chance- or confront the people who abandoned him and let him with no one maybe get apologies.
But this is just what I think.
If you were into Origins and read this please let me know 🥺 I spent about 6 months of my life trying to make this story happen and a full 5 hours writing this today and Id really appreciate knowing what people think of this, even in its messy state. Origins tended to do Jakey and me dirty but we had some really good ideas that never got showcasee but Id like to think a few people out there now know the full story
IVE REFOUND A BUNCH OF ASSETS FROM PREPRODUCTION DAYS!
First off the pinterest board is called "Travels of a Time Mage" which was the original working name on my side when the only thing we knew about it was that it was centering around the Centuras. If this would have been a solo POV series just with Jakey or just the Centuras it could be called that, but once Kae and I decided our main POVs would NOT be our Centuras we felt that didn't work anymore.
And now, a photo dump!
Jakey's FTOS design! I did actually model the hat and I use it commonly as an example item from my resource pack lmao. Never did get the staff made but I probably SHOULD given how much I looove making magic staffs and stuff. Jakey had a clock dial design motif, and his magic was most connected to the "present" of time!
Kia Centura! Our lovely morally gray doomed sister :) We had a thing that since Jakey had blue hair, that all the Centuras probably had weird hair too- at least everyone with time magic, since daddy dearest did NOT pass on anything of relevance. IIRC the Centura siblings' brown eyes were from him though :) Kia had an infinity design motif, and was most connected to the future of time magic- this was what made her difficult to track when she turned, she was able to see (SOME) of the future and avoid it.
Cerelia Centura! She is much younger than she appears (only in 40s) but between having time magic that when she rewinds time it doesn't rewind HER time, and her being imprisoned, drained of her magic, and starved, has had a toll on her. Cerelia in FTO5 was wearing much more regal clothes- what she was kidnapped in, something that one reflected her status with rarity and power as a time mage. She took on a much humbler attire here now that she's on the run with her kids- something she is not unfamiliar with but dislikes. She's hiding much worry behind that smile in the drawn ref. Cerelia is (and always has been) connected to the past of time magic. She was always focused on her lineage as a Centura, the history, their fates- and also in meta planning, Cerelia's glory days and the most of her story, is all long behind her. Her design motif was trying to be sundials, and also the "head of house" connecting past, present, and future (though personally, I think I should have chosen just one and not trying to do 2 conflicting designs)
The Centuras each had their diadem- an hourglass spinner, something Cerelia made as an heirloom for the future of her family. Jakey's is pinned so that each end points to the four main points on a clock proper and right, Kia's is askew (much like she is with her family) and Cerelia's is aligned straight up, but the sand inside has stopped draining and is all fallen to the bottom- her magic is gone.
WINTER FTOS MY *BELOVED* she had Toothless eyes that the pupils grew and shrank with emotion! The symptom of dragonification appeared soon after she left home- once she had left the protection of Glacia and her father and started using her more powerful magic for protection, though she didn't know when it started what it was. Then the peach scales started growing in, which would have hardened into the bright blue scales shown in the drawn art in the first image with Winter using magic- which was specifically drawn as the worst dragonified Winter would get. The other two outfits were of her post-series outfits (neither of which I liked that much tbh. I wanted her to be more pirate-y but also a little more put together as she was older here.) I made Winter with a more pixelated style because I personally hate making full HD and wanted to die doing everyone else's skins with full HD so I made Winter with the style I liked :)
Sera the fire demon slayer! you can't see it but she had a horse embroidered onto the back of her outfit- kind of wonky because she did it herself. Her family owned a horse ranch in a far-off part of the world, and she had loved the horses growing up until she was taken away from them. The chains were a bit of her edginess, but also for her feeling imprisoned by the fear of her cult chasing her down. Her eyes were supposed to invert between the purple and blue when her demon was taking control or something like that? Never made the skin though.
For funsies here are some extra things I made! Pretty drawing of Winter on the airship, Jakey in a gay hat, diagram of the airship (on left side, only bottom on is closest to what it actually looked like), mostly-done ship build, Seeing Beyond The Mortal Plane Winter (cursed early expression attempt), Protector's Fleet guild mark concepts, and dancing Winter gif :)
uhhh I have a world map that everyone participating in various Fairy Tail series at the time were collaborating on but that's got too many spoilers of other people's projects on there so I can't show that sadly. Instead I'll show my region, the one Winter was from!
(tbh I forgot I had named half of these but I have a 2k word document in a .txt file about all this like the madwoman I am so LOREDUMP TIME UNDER THE CUT CAUSE IT'S A LOT and this post is already SO long)
adding more to the already "do you love the color of the sky?" FTOS post
my personal theme song for FTOS was "Young Volcanoes" by Fall Out Boy and I have a whole AMV/theme sequence like old Origins intros in my head for it that will never get made because 1. I dont animate 2. it features characters who arent actually part of it from earliest planning/are now redacted
speaking of! do NOT go to the creators about it but I saw a post in the FTO tag that made me think of this. We did ask Mitch and Colin if they wanted to be part of this, they both expressed interest but ultimately had to say no upon further consideration (which was no problem!)
but imagining a world where Viper or FTO!Colin fleeing Atlantide in the wake of being hunted down by Abraham's forces for their Past Mass Murders and Such, and teaming up with TIME BOY JAKEY and getting whiplash with how his character changed, is a VERY fun concept in my mind. (And also I am very biased imagining all the different potential ways those dragon slayers could interact with MY dragon slayer Winter is like infinite fanfic potential. for a series that doesnt exist. this is my roman empire)
so s4 have been on my mind all week I miss dual and Jakey. I swear I need to draw them more. i lowkey get so sad when I think of dual till this day. also Oliver art i made a long time ago but like look at him.
ALSO guy yall have to go check out @becca4leafclover she gave us more info about the would have been Jakey spin-off. Go read the everything start to finish you will not regret it. plus we got to see all the characters designs in 4k. yall have no idea how much I want to see Sera design and even more winter. I definitely plan on drawing some fanart of them because design are FWEHOIOE I LOVE THEM. as a long time jakey fan who recently stop feeling shameful that he's my favorite i'm so happy. but really go read the og post it's amazing and I'm so glad she wrote so much.
I know you were planning to make a continuation with fto based off the time mage family at some point but sadly not never got produced. So I was wondering if you ever had like a solid plot planned out or what the plans were with it. I remember you streaming making some designs, and I was so intrigued about it, it's always been on my mind.
YESSS IM ALSO SO SAD ABOUT IT. I tried really hard on it, but I ended up being the only one really committed and I couldnt get everyone fully on board. Then one of our main people leaving the Internet kinda was a final blow.
There was definitely a solid concept! Refresher: Jakey's FTO5 ended on Jakey Centura going to rescue his kidnapped family from Kronos, an evil mage from Ultimate Jakey's dimension who's wrecked havoc on the his nemeses, the Centura family of time mages, in this world. Jakey succeeds in freeing his very weakened mother, Cerelia, but cant save his father and loses his sister to Kronos in the process. Jakey is forcefully aged up by using a large amount of his time magic- to an extent that would have killed any other time mage, but Jakey had a special quirk (I think born during an eclipse? The few moments of totality and his birth affecting how his magic worked slightly. Not majorly, but important for Kronos's plans.) Jakey and Cerelia return to the Protector's guild and immediately try to get help and find Jakey's sister (Kia) and their dad (who I dont think was ever named as a running joke of his relevance.) Cerelia's far too weak to meaningfully use magic, having been starved and probably at least somewhat tortured, as well as just held in a cramped cell for over 1-2 years, and Jakey is trying to keep everything together about what just happened. Then Jakey meets with Lo'Pho, who informs Jakey he's leaving Atlantide and the Protector's Guild, and is making Jakey Guild Master... a master with no guild. Jakey is quite literally the last member of the Protector's. Someone who the rest of the Atlantide mages see as a joke and a child and evrn if not, have abandoned and refused to help. Jakey ends on continuing having to push down any fear to now take up this mantle of guild master and find his family.
(Fun fact! This wasnt the planned ending point for FTO5. Hence why we wanted to do FTOS in the first place, since the moment FTO5 ended. cc!Bryan delayed the failed wedding scenes for TWO IRL MONTHS cause he wanted to screw around with Davis's character, even though the wedding was always planned to fail and Bryan would have left Jakey's story anyway. Yes this is FamousFilms /neg Im kinda tired of everyone loving that guy when hes a egotistial narscissist who only acknowledges ppl with clout from my experience.)
Somewhere in here Kia reappears: and attacks her brother and mother. I think here she might kidnap the dad's comatose body? She's under the control of Kronos.
FTOS would have picked up only about a week after the end of FTO5. Jakey and Cerelia would get a visit from Abraham, the man who defeated Allumos and Grimshade and took over Atlantide's Magic Council. He informs the time mages that time magic is now banned in Atlantide and gives them a few days to leave. Atlantide was one of, if not the ONLY place in the whole world, where time magic wasnt banned, and now it is. Abraham is only giving them a warning because 1. He sees Jakey as a nonthreat 2. Doesnt want to deal with the potential public problem of imprisoning/killing a well-liked, perceived as innocent, niaeve child, and technically guild master 3. Thinks the outside world will take care of the Centuras anyway. Even if Cerelia was once a powerful time mage in her prime, she's all but lost her magic: he tells her this directly.
Jakey and Cerelia use the Protector's Guild's money to buy a flying ship, stock it, and get the hell out of Atlantide. As much as Jakey is hurt to abandon the guild and Cerelia sad to lose her home (she'd long lived in Atlantide city-state's territory whers she wasnt yknow. Illegal to exist) she comforts him that they'll be okay- they were going to leave anyway to find Kia and their father. They can stay moving, stay hidden- she knows what to do to keep them safe. She was supposed to be the last Centura to endure this kind of hardship. She thought saved her children from Kronos- she'll do it again. Jakey swears that even if he's left the Protector's Guild hall, he's still going to revive the Guild itself. He's brought the items that certify him as Guild Master (fun fact! The Protector's Guild in Plulesses's FTO Nexus, is canonically a fraud using their name illegally. This was agreed upon with Plu. The corrupt cop guild is NOT endorsed by Jakey Centura!!)
There's a timeskip-transition, and suddenly Kia is a part of the crew and friendly. And its revealed the Centura's mission has changed: find some more crewmates, and they're travelling the world to close time rifts that have opened. Theyre running around pretending to be a flying taxi service to have an excuse to move around the world.
The main characters that were planned to be additional crew were Winter (my main POV!) a chipper and supportive, if a bit clueless, ice mage(+) from the remote villages far north who was exiled for killing her father- a crime she DIDNT commit and is looking for the truth out in the greater world, and Sera (Kae's second character, also her main POV iirc?) A fire demon slayer who'd been kidnapped at a young age and forced into a demon slayer cult who forced her to become one (fun fact! This was a cult originally founded by Idyr, the god Biblico was following) there was another main character who is now redacted, but was gonna be a guy who found himself pulled far into the future and is trying to get home to both place and time. There were also some regional side characters who'd temporarily join the crew as well.
Early on one of the first people they transport with their taxi service is a young girl (iirc around age 10?) named Esther and her escort. She's a bright girl with magic, but is underestimated because she was born missing an arm. Winter is the youngest crew member and ends up hanging out with her. Esther is withdrawn and mellow- shes been passed around a few times, and is now heading to a relatives to stay with them. Shes often underestimated because of her missing arm, but she REALLY wants to learn magic! Winter sees that, and figures that she'd probably find good use in ice-make magic that Winter can teach her! Winter demonststes with her main attack spell- she holds out a pointed finger in front of her and pulls back and open palm with the gesture of drawing a bow. An icicle generated in the space between as an arrow. Winter shoves her palm forward and launches the icicle off the side of the ship! She tells Esther that even not having a second hand, its about controlling the flow of magic you feel in your whole body. A second hand is useful to control magic with gestures, but she doesnt think its needed. For Winter's icicle arrow, she uses her pointing hand to aim- thats the important part. Her other hand is the force and doesnt need to be as precise. Why dont we try doing something similar with Esther? Esther thinks about it a little before very quickly taking to ice magic. She's delighted! Its the first real magic she's learned! Winter is so happy for her! And when they arrive to their destination Esther tells Winter she's gonna keep learning magic. Winter says she hopes to see Esther again someday, then she can see how much she's grown! (Froggie and I agreed yes Winter taught Esther her first magic. When Esther offers to teach magic to that one Salode lady in FTO Nexus, this is where that's referring to!)
Im skipping all of the character development and plot reveals to say what actually happened: Jakey and Cerelia managed to get a ping off Kronos and found him. Cerelia encouraged Jakey to kill this Kronos, like she did for their world's Kronos (Cerelia backstory is somewhere here in this post.) Jakey kills Kronos with a huge amount of time magic, which between that kind of power and it being a man already in the wrong timeline, opens time rifts all across the world- entire areas now in a loop, or the past/future colliding with tbe present, or everything frozen... Kia was being mind controlled by Kronos, and this doesnt break when he's killed. Cerelia uses what little magic she's regained to copy a spell she'd seen her husband use to try and restore Kia's mind to herself... and make her forget she turned on her family (dad I think was some kind of memory mage? Or at least knew spells of it. Not memory-make like Eden and Devin! Much less OP but still rare, iirc another one that was banned in many places that isnt Atlantide, which was established (post main Origins iirc) that before Abraham was a radically-accepting place of mages to boost their popularity and draw in all these powerful people.) Cerelia officially pushes herself too far here and damages her magic container in her body, and loses her access to magic permanently. She cannot cast anything more than some magic sparkles. She tries not to feel bad about losing the thing that's defined her life for better and worse- it was a sacrifice for her daughter.
As they travel the world Jakey tries to assert himself as "guild master" and the crew acknowledges him as the guild master of his guild, doesn't consider themselves a part of his guild and therefore he doesnt have that authority over them- just as the guy who owns the flying ship theyre on. Jakey has trouble navigating that line at first, but as he builds relationships with the other crewmates they come to understand that Jakey's been abandoned by all his support systems except for his mom, who was recently imprisoned and now made disabled, and Jakey is really just trying to do the best he can in shouldering the responsibilities that have been forced on him.
Winter introduces herself as an ice-make mage, but that's not all she is. She's actually an ice DRAGON SLAYER who was apprenticed to her dragon and her father, the official ice dragon slayer and guardian of the nothern village alliance. When her father disappeared, their dragon in a frenzy and unwilling to talk to Winter, her people jumped to the conclusion SHE killed her own father and went to kill her- her mom, knowing she was innocent, got Winter to flee. Winter kept her dragon slaying heritage a secret as to not be identified with her accused crime- there are PLENTY of ice-make mages in the northern region, but only two ice dragon slayers. Since Winter was just an apprentice and had not learned about the full extent of the dragon slayer magic (Winter became the dragon's apprentice at age 16, she left when 17, turns 18 during the storyline) she had not undergone the ritual for getting a protective lacrima for the side effects of dragon slayer magic: draconization. As Winter uses her more powerful magic, she develops scales on her face/shoulders/arms, they get thicker and turn blue and white, she starts to grow horns, she gets more aloof personality and aggressive in fights- she's scared of herself. She asks Sera, if she goes too far, to kill her. She knows Sera is the only one who has the strength to do it. She doesn't want to become a dragon. In a fight on the ship Winter briefly loses control, almost goes full dragon- she's knocked out and recovers as herself, but she now has a dragon tail and all her symptoms are worse.
At some point in the 2nd half they go to the northern villages to close a time rift and Winter has to stay hidden on the ship in the villages that would immediately recognize her as a draconified dragon slayer. They meet Winter's mother, who accidentally reveals that Winter is their family name, and her first name is Eril! When teasingly confronted Winter is embarrased and reveals she originally just said she was "/A/ Winter" and was saying that the dragon slayer apprentice-murderer was her cousin she didn't really know. She didnt know how far the knowledge about the traditions of their village or the news had spread, so she just... kept the lie up until it was too awkward to admit. While the crew is in Winter's hometown the dragon, Glacia, goes on a rampage, and Winter reveals herself to confront and calm the dragon. The village raises arms against her while Glacia distantly accuses her of abandoning her duty. Winter, frustrated and hurt, exclaims she didnt do EITHER! She heard something was wrong that night and snuck out to go find and help him! When Winter got to Glacia's slayer, she was in a rampage and Winter couldnt talk to her! And when she goes back to the village for help she's accused of killing her DAD? She's just trying to find him...! The villagers hesitate. They kinda know Winter didnt do it, they realized after they chased her out, but theyre too stubborn to admit it. Glacia says that she has been distraught looking for her egg. That her father disappeared with the egg-stealers, he had been protecting her egg. Glacia has been rampaging after trying to find them and keeps failing. She looks over Winter's state and says she is sorry, she did not know about Winter. She was told by the villagers Winter had abandoned her duty and left. Glacia refused to consider a new dragon slayer until her egg and main slayer-guardian were found. Winter swears she's goinv to find her father and marches off alone. The rest of the crew catches up to her- they're REALLY not letting her do this alone now! (Previously I think Winter would have displayed pushing herself too far trying to prove herself and do things alone. Shes excitable and happy and can talk about lighter stuff and that masked her fear of relying on others but at this point the crew knows her better than that!)
They spend some time tracking and looking for clues and end up finding the poachers hiding out in the wilderness, in a weird place Glacia wouldnt think to look and also a large ice dragon is easy to spot and hide from. They find Winter's father, chained by the ankle but guarding a huge, smooth, blue egg. They find out that Winter's father, Castian, was unable to escape with the dragon egg when it was first stolen or since, but has been cooperative as long as he can guard the egg. But the poachers have secured a buyer and plan for the egg, so they need to get rid of Castian and move out. The crew stages a breakout and Castian is shocked to see the state of his daughter! But she and rescues him and the egg and they go home. Big reunion, the ice dragon guadian is home, the dragon egg is returned! But Winter is not happy- none of this needed to happen, if only ANYONE had taken a moment to listen. Her father was imprisoned for two years. She was exiled and has been permanently changed and can no longer fit in anywhere. Glacia has killed humans and destroyed their homes because the people turned against their dragon guardians whose lives are dedicated to keeping peace between humans and the dragon! Was this all worth it? Glacia is the first to admit her mistakes. She did not yet acknowledge Winter as a guardian at the time and was so focussed on her egg she could not see reason. She did not question the humans who told her lies. She did not question when she felt her magic being used, and she sees the concequence of that now in Winter. Glacia offers to make it right- the protection lacrima at Winter's neck wouldnt be enough at this stage of draconization. So Glacia will give up her physical body for the remainder of Winter's life, to stop any further draconization. The only thing is, someone will need to protect her egg for her. Castian and Winter immediately volunteer- Castian says he'll take the egg with him until Winter finishes her mission with the crew. With him, asks the town? Castian coldly turns tk them and states they abandoned him for two years. They threw out his innocent daughter. They shunned his wife. They thought he's staying? Glacia is leaving too. This village has lost the protection of the dragon and her guardians. Castian and Winter's mom (I forget her name and cant find the notes o(-< ) leave with the crew aboard the flying ship and settle in the major city in the northern region.
I dont know much about Sera's story, but I know she goes from trusting no one, hyper-aggressive and closed off as a defensive mechanism, to starting to trust and let herself be vulnerable, and supported by good people. She and Winter start off rocky- they share a cabin on the flying ship, but obviously ice and fire don't mix! But eventually they see each other as a sister. Sera's confronted by her cult a few times and each time she becomes stronger by getting away. She does find her cult killed her family though, even though they were in a whole other part of the world and didnt know what happened to Sera.
As they're travelling this spell on Kia starts to degrade, and the mind-control comes back. She's starting to get intrusive thoughts and memories, and she's having more and more moments of hostility. Jakey and Cerelia are concerned and try to stop it without telling Kia what's happened/happening to her. They fail, the reversal spell snaps, Kia kills their still-comatose father once and for all and flees. Cerelia is DEVESTATED- her husband of twenty years, the man she fought and defeated her enemy for, the man she chose a humble, peaceful life for, is gone. Killed by their daughter. Killed by her ENEMY who wasnt supposed to be here!
They've more or less finished up closing time rifts at this point, and the chase is now on for Kia. The crew is distrustful of the remaining Centuras- why would they do that to Kia? What else are they hiding from them? Jakey owns up to his mistakes and explains the time rifts, explains Kronos, explains what happened in Atlantide. Cerelia explains her and the family's history: time magic was once the pride of a powerful civilization. But then too many started to disobey their rules of using it, overusing it and using it for harm. The Centura family took up a role of being guardians of time, correcting these errors, persecuting those who used it wrong, being advisors of its use. After stopping a major catastrophe, the Centuras were simply the only ones allowed to use time magic, and other mages were killed or forced to give up their time magic into lacrimas. The Centuras allowed spells to be cast on them that essentially turned the Arc of Time magic into a kind curse on their bloodline: the firstborn would always have time magic so that the magic would continue. Should the main line end, the magic would manifest in anyone related's next children. As time went on, this culling of time magic except for the Centuras turned into laws banning time magic in general, forgetting their exception and making the Centuras black magic users despite being otherwise. She believes the culling of time mages in ancient history is where Kronos came from: a family line sworn to wipe out the last remnants of time magic from the people who were allowed to keep it. The Centuras have been hunted by a Kronos for generations... until Cerelia finally killed the last one who opposed her. Her husband had been this world's Kronos's brother, a weaker son who was sent to infiltrate and spy to be made useful. But he never saw the point in this fight and very early on defected to Cerelia's side- and fell in love with her. Cerelia swore in her youth to end the terror of Kronos so she could live a normal life, and did so in her early-mid twenties. She was a rogue mage, a liv9ng legend- if she joined a guild it was temporary, and she was a force of nature with her power and control of time. Once Kronos was dead she used what fame and wealth she'd earned to settle down with her husband on a remote island in Atlantide's territory, live the simple life she always wanted and eventually raised her kids. When the crew learned of the lengths she had to go to secure her safety, it makes more sense why she went to extremes trying to save her daughter. Didnt excuse it, but made sense. But Jakey and Cerelia are done hiding from the world and are going to make this ACTUALLY right.
The final battle happens with Kia. Throughout it everyone who's bonded with her helps to break through the mind-control and let her be in control of herself. She surrenders, and is emotionally defeated- the mind control gone, she doesnt want to fight. Everyone comes together to help Kia. She's their friend, the family, their crewmate- they know this isnt really her. The mind control left some permanent changes though- Kia is harsh, judgemental, irritable. She hasnt fully forgiven her family, but they're working past it. She wants to be better- just not under anyone's control of what she should be. (We didnt want to kill Kia after the several death scares in FTO5 and here so she gets better!)
At the end of all this, the crew returns to Jakey's idea of being a proper Guild. They figure that they kind of already are as a crew, arent they? The traditional idea of a guild doesnt mean much to them, but they fly under the same flag and Jakey is their leader- so why not Guild leader? They change their symbol to be an adaptation of the Protector's (I had a sketch somewhere but can't find it) and start calling themselves the Protector's _____.
THAT'S ALL THE OFFICIAL INFO I REMEMBER! If this somehow ever gets made even if I dont think it will be pretend you havent read this and you dont know the story alright?
Aside from that, because im So Normal have some headcanons about post-story (featuring Winter cause she's my main character in this)
Winter only develops classic dragon slayer motion sickness after Gracia starts residing within her- she wasnt powerful enough to have it until then LOL takeoff and landing suck but being in the air is typically fine for her as long as there's no turbulance.
The _____ is there at the end cause we never really discussed what the name would be, only that at the end they'd agree to be a guild. I personally think it should be Protector's Fleet, and as they help people between their technically-not-official-but-still-legit business of taxiing as well as helping people around the world and being rewarded, they save up enough to buy another (and then more) flying ships. Jakey keeps control of the main ship and is guild leader, but the Fleet ends up having a more independent network structure as different ships help with different areas and parts of the world. I think at some point they do eventually get their taxi business registered somewhere that doesnt mind them (I think it was the northern capital city? Which in lore was where airships commonly came from anyway- a natural bowl in the cold, windy mountains collecting air magic and generating lacrimas. The city itself is built upon a massive floating piece of land that ripped itself out of the ground! So it made sense that they developed technology and infrastructure to build airships.
Eventually (in like 5-6 years) Winter becomes captain of her own ship, and she has a specific goal in mind: get into Atlantide. Theyve heard over the years of how people in Atlantide are struggling- mages constantly under control and survaillance, normal people restricted. It looks good from the outside, a lawless city finally under control, but from inside...? But the Protector's Fleet hasnt been able to get in. Security is fairly high looking for illegal mages and contraband, and Jakey and several of the guild members are known mages there. Winter is unknown to Atlantide though, and her only problem is her appearance- blue scales, horns, and a tail are definitely weird. But she SLOWLY makes and builds contacts from within Atlantide, and eventually is able to organize an escape mission for a group of underground refugees. President Emily actually does confront Winter on this mission having intercepted some correspondence, but as agrees to let Winter do this one mission to get these people out of the city where they arent safe. Winter eventually gets a handful of these missions done over time- not often, but enough to get info about the state of the city-state and get people out.
At some point she also meets Esther again! Who's all grown up now, 10+ years later from their first meeting. Theyve both changed a lot: Winter is half dragon, Esther a light mage and solo GMG champion. They have a great time catching up as equals before parting ways- Winter promises Esther a free ride if she ever wants it though!
In planning the first Atlantide mission, Winter meets a letter-make mage from Atlantide called Ink. Ink was an orphan in Atlantide and grew up on the streets- she was determined to learn to read as a kid, and ended up doing so as well as learning magic with it. She has a spell for every letter of the alphabet- A for apple, for example, teleports an apple from a specific place at a fruit seller's stall she once visited... she stole a lot of apples as a kid to eat with that spell. Ink was part of an underground "guild" (more of a speakeasy for rogue, illegal, or outcast mages to just have a safe space. It was very well regulated and guarded) but got out of Atlantide on a guild mission and now cant get back in. Ink was the one who got Winter in contact with someone on Atlantide's inside with the underground guild to make that whole thing possible. Ink ends up joining the Protector's Fleet, along with some of her guildmates who fled Atlantide in that mission. Ink and Winter end up together!
And eventually Glacia's egg does hatch. Castian and Winter's mom call Winter back to home base when they start noticing it changing, and Winter and Ink are there (partly introducing Ink to Winter's parents lol) when the egg hatches! And so then Winter and Ink adopt a baby dragon as their kid and have him on board their ship (this causes so much chaos btw.) Ink ends up picking up a young orphan boy she met somewhere and they end up raising two sons: one dragon one human, who thankfully end up very close themselves.
I cant really speak on anyone else's characters post-main story, Ive never been told. But I like to think Jakey ended up a great guild master and builds the Protector's Fleet to something that outlasts him- a neutral guild, a crisis relief party, mediators, and people who just do what's right no matter the restrictions. Eventually Atlantide finds out about this guild and calls them thieves, only for Jakey/the guild masters after him to turn it around and have all the proof THEYRE the real Protector's Guild, not the one in Atlantide and theyre DISGUSTED by the actions done with the Protector's name. Personally, I don't think Jakey ever returns to Atlantide. I do think Atlantidean mages might board his ship(s) though and maybe have a reunion- or maybe hide from people who didnt like him- or maybe prove they were wrong about him and show he was never given a chance- or confront the people who abandoned him and let him with no one maybe get apologies.
But this is just what I think.
If you were into Origins and read this please let me know 🥺 I spent about 6 months of my life trying to make this story happen and a full 5 hours writing this today and Id really appreciate knowing what people think of this, even in its messy state. Origins tended to do Jakey and me dirty but we had some really good ideas that never got showcasee but Id like to think a few people out there now know the full story
IVE REFOUND A BUNCH OF ASSETS FROM PREPRODUCTION DAYS!
First off the pinterest board is called "Travels of a Time Mage" which was the original working name on my side when the only thing we knew about it was that it was centering around the Centuras. If this would have been a solo POV series just with Jakey or just the Centuras it could be called that, but once Kae and I decided our main POVs would NOT be our Centuras we felt that didn't work anymore.
And now, a photo dump!
Jakey's FTOS design! I did actually model the hat and I use it commonly as an example item from my resource pack lmao. Never did get the staff made but I probably SHOULD given how much I looove making magic staffs and stuff. Jakey had a clock dial design motif, and his magic was most connected to the "present" of time!
Kia Centura! Our lovely morally gray doomed sister :) We had a thing that since Jakey had blue hair, that all the Centuras probably had weird hair too- at least everyone with time magic, since daddy dearest did NOT pass on anything of relevance. IIRC the Centura siblings' brown eyes were from him though :) Kia had an infinity design motif, and was most connected to the future of time magic- this was what made her difficult to track when she turned, she was able to see (SOME) of the future and avoid it.
Cerelia Centura! She is much younger than she appears (only in 40s) but between having time magic that when she rewinds time it doesn't rewind HER time, and her being imprisoned, drained of her magic, and starved, has had a toll on her. Cerelia in FTO5 was wearing much more regal clothes- what she was kidnapped in, something that one reflected her status with rarity and power as a time mage. She took on a much humbler attire here now that she's on the run with her kids- something she is not unfamiliar with but dislikes. She's hiding much worry behind that smile in the drawn ref. Cerelia is (and always has been) connected to the past of time magic. She was always focused on her lineage as a Centura, the history, their fates- and also in meta planning, Cerelia's glory days and the most of her story, is all long behind her. Her design motif was trying to be sundials, and also the "head of house" connecting past, present, and future (though personally, I think I should have chosen just one and not trying to do 2 conflicting designs)
The Centuras each had their diadem- an hourglass spinner, something Cerelia made as an heirloom for the future of her family. Jakey's is pinned so that each end points to the four main points on a clock proper and right, Kia's is askew (much like she is with her family) and Cerelia's is aligned straight up, but the sand inside has stopped draining and is all fallen to the bottom- her magic is gone.
WINTER FTOS MY *BELOVED* she had Toothless eyes that the pupils grew and shrank with emotion! The symptom of dragonification appeared soon after she left home- once she had left the protection of Glacia and her father and started using her more powerful magic for protection, though she didn't know when it started what it was. Then the peach scales started growing in, which would have hardened into the bright blue scales shown in the drawn art in the first image with Winter using magic- which was specifically drawn as the worst dragonified Winter would get. The other two outfits were of her post-series outfits (neither of which I liked that much tbh. I wanted her to be more pirate-y but also a little more put together as she was older here.) I made Winter with a more pixelated style because I personally hate making full HD and wanted to die doing everyone else's skins with full HD so I made Winter with the style I liked :)
Sera the fire demon slayer! you can't see it but she had a horse embroidered onto the back of her outfit- kind of wonky because she did it herself. Her family owned a horse ranch in a far-off part of the world, and she had loved the horses growing up until she was taken away from them. The chains were a bit of her edginess, but also for her feeling imprisoned by the fear of her cult chasing her down. Her eyes were supposed to invert between the purple and blue when her demon was taking control or something like that? Never made the skin though.
For funsies here are some extra things I made! Pretty drawing of Winter on the airship, Jakey in a gay hat, diagram of the airship (on left side, only bottom on is closest to what it actually looked like), mostly-done ship build, Seeing Beyond The Mortal Plane Winter (cursed early expression attempt), Protector's Fleet guild mark concepts, and dancing Winter gif :)
uhhh I have a world map that everyone participating in various Fairy Tail series at the time were collaborating on but that's got too many spoilers of other people's projects on there so I can't show that sadly. Instead I'll show my region, the one Winter was from!

The schedule I’ll be following below if you’re curious:
Since I made the la carnival guild Hall makes since to talk about my fto persona. I love la carnival and everyone in it. I still need to give them a solid backstory and plot.
I remade the la carnival guild hall it was really fun. i didn't do the underground room cuz forgot lowkey.
First of all, I'm sorry if any of my explanations are hard to understand. I'm not used to like explaining things to people at all, so sorry. Also I had this AU since like in middle school and I'm going to be a senior soon so a lot of info I've kind of forgotten over the years. But I'm going to try my best to explain it because it's one of my favorite aus. So First off, let me explain mania , if you don't know her back story let me give you a quick rundown of like her original storyline. When she was young a dragon war started and her family died because of her dragon and she was all alone and like the wasteland. Earthus Was Mario's mother found Mania and decided to take her in and teach her how to basically survive? She had to survive eating dragon meat, so she grew immune to dragon magic. Obviously all this trauma at a young age was not good for her and at some point she just kind of broke. And basically decided she hated all humans and needs them dead . Earthus was like that's not good let me go hit up some humans that could help her and they end up separating her bad memories to like. Make her more normal so she's not broken. This does have an effect on her where because half of herself is kind of missing, her magic effects are more so like her dark magic takes over. Then she goes to Atlantide and finds all the dragon children and brings them to help fight the war. That's basically the rundown of her character. Obviously I left out a whole bunch of stuff because I don't want to spend all my time explaining that. Now, well, the first thing about this AU where everything has to change is. She doesn't hate humans when she snaps. She hates Dragons. So instead of staying where Earthus is, she runs away and like lives in the wasteland, possibly with some humans like Dragonis jakey. Because she's still kind of broken. She's she almost emotionless and kind of just fixates on killing Dragons and fighting. I don't want to make her too OP but I mean someone who's not affected by Dragons the magic going to kill someone who only uses dragon magic. I'm pretty sure she would be able to use beat up the dragon king. Also because she's not limited by her magic affecting her too much, I think she could kill him. So after she kills him, she finds out that there's still Dragon Slayer children and she's like I gotten kill them next. So somehow she finds a way to get to a Atlantide.
I honestly try to stay true to like the original and who she meets first and stuff. Of course things are different because she's not going to react the way she did in the original. She meets Mario. And she holds off from killing him because she knows if she gets close to him, she can get close to the other dragon slayers and kill them all. She doesn't immediately slime out like everyone. She gets close to them because she's smart. I mean, she grew up in a war. She's got to have some kind of brains. So she uses the idea of there's a war still going on in her world, and you know, you got to help me because your parents are there. I feel like that's kind of the basis of the AU so far. There are some relationships that I have like developed far more. So I'm going to talk about those real quick. First of all, her and Mario, she kind of falls in love with him. It didn't help that she found out who his mother was and she's like ohh I kind of dislike him because I hate his mother. He is the last of who she kills because she develops such like a deep relationship with him and it's one of the first relationships she's ever had in a while. She doesn't want to kill him, but she had a goal and she's not going to throw away the goal for just one guy. Even if she truly does love this guy. So she' sliming him out and it's really sad. And he's like it’s all good XD I still love you even though you just killed me. I've never thought of ending but I do know that after she kind of killed everyone she just gotta have to dip because the one person who was close to like all the dragon slayers is her. Also I just want to say this, she's not super Op. Even though she does have anti dragon magic She does have a hard time killing some of them. Let me use viper as a example. I think she would have a hard time because he's pretty skilled without his magic. So she would have to train to be a little bit stronger and also just think outside the box. She also goes on to cover when she attacks them, not like new identity, she would just look a little different and cover her face because if she fails they're going to know it's her. I honestly have a whole bunch of AUS for mania. And I would love to just talk about them because they're honestly like my favorite thing in the world. I definitely plan on yapping more because it's really fun to like explain even though I'm kind of bad at it and get off track.
