The thoughts to you are inspiring for my soul.
― My heart is shaken, you are here.
Featuring a total of 37 members of TSUKIPRO is “ORIGIN”, a grand epic divided into three parts.
SETTING ―
> as of 17 Sept.
“ORIGIN” stems from the previous AGF project “Tsukino Empire”, both fictional plays. Their concept of “angels” and “devils” do not adhere to any specific belief system - instead, it is a consolidation of various concepts and legends.
Members from each participating unit are divided between “angels” and “devils”, and their individual alignment has been left entirely to each unit’s illustrator.
Furthermore, the concept of “devils” is not necessarily an evil or unwanted presence. The concept is similar to “yin and yang”, where both are necessary in the world. Any character whose alignment is with the “devils” are not, in any way, evil.

CHARACTER DESIGN ―
> as of 17 Sept.
Character art for each member reflects their alignment: those aligned with heaven (“angels”) have feathers on their right ear, while those aligned with the underworld (”devils”) have feathers on their left ear.
These feathers represent sefirot’s “leaf”, and also serves as a symbol of their being an envoy, the source of their existence. An instrument attached to their bearer’s ear.
For example, the heaven-aligned Koki’s feather is currently the ichimaiba (literally, single leaf) “Kouha” (literally, feather of light).
Below is an example of the design of underworld-aligned Eichi’s ichimaiba, “Yamiba” (literally, feather of darkness). When acquired together with its tsuiba (literally, opposite feather), its form changes. Its strength also grows exceptionally stronger, and its bearer’s existence is further stabilized, giving the bearer a longer life span.
※ The tsuiba can be between any two bearers, regardless if they’re both angels, devils, or not.
