The World of Crystal is very interesting, no? Everyone seemed to be so fixated on their own things that they forgot what they're made for. But, do we have the obligation to do so? To follow the reason we are created? Or will we make our own decision? Your choices are like refracted lights on crystals. So many, so beautiful, yet a neverending change.
These symbols took a while as I have created 16 symbols for the other family symbols. Luckily, I use geometry to make them as it's simple yet could be interesting if used right. There are detailed descriptions of each symbols and what they represent in their respective nation post.
Be sure to check their description as it explains a lot 👀👌
Also, please only use these if you're making art that needs it and it's very neat that these symbols make a good gradation y'know 🌈
"Don't build on the past. Revolutions never go backwards."

Occirly is a revolutionary nation in technology, style and government. Their ideology focuses on advancement and change as time and era change. The clothing style of this nation's choice would be steampunk with mostly dark colours as many factories and machinery produce stardust. However, some are sceptical of the stardust as it’s rather dark. Some theorize that it might be related to the rumours that this nation uses dark magic, which is strictly forbidden to use. Others suggest that they might use other materials for it but it is confidential.
They found a way to dig through the cavern of the below world using their latest technology and obtain an amount of crystals to use. After the second great war, the magic and crystals in Dragtal slowly disappeared as Lucidial is the source of magic. When they banished monsters to that place, they too cut off the magic source for this part of the world. Many people were distraught as they cannot perform magic freely again with the exception of a few. Some reconsider opening the portal to the Lucidial but their fear and pride overcome it. Some of the people refused to open the portal once again as they believe they don’t need any magic to survive. These people form a nation that will combat the absence of magic and instead replace it with technology.

Van Ciel, the revolutionaire leader.
༻ Leader ༺
Occirly leader is one of the mysterious leaders between the 5 nations. Even if they did reveal their face and identity, no one could read what they want or will act as the one who became this nation’s leader are often paranoid or 5 steps ahead of you. Although this changed when Van Ciel came into power. You could say that he changes some of the old ways that he sees unfit and replaced them with what he wants. They say his ideal revolutionized the nation as they rapidly became one of the top technology producers. He even replaced the system of monarchies, where only the Justicia and Tenacia family could rule.
The leaders of Occirly are rumoured to use dark magic as one of their sources in their factories and personal gain. Even making a contract with a Monstre Lucifent is a heavy crime against the world.
Known leaders:
◈ Wallenda Justicia
◈ Van Ciel

Mechanicum Cogwheel, the symbol of revolution.
༻ Symbol ༺
The Mechanicum Cogwheel (Mechanicum Zahnrad) is the symbol of Occirly nation. Starting from the outside are the 4 lightning spiralling around the cogwheel. This represents their motivation to change and moving forward as a society. The outer cogwheel represents the working class that made up most of the nation. They’re the driving force that keeps this nation going. The second cogwheel represents the second class, Talented. These people provide a place for the working class to do their job. They’re the ones who help the cog wheel spinning that’s represented by the dark clouds. Some say this is the “technology magic” that makes the nation prosper. The inner cogwheel is where the gifted one resides. They use their gift to maintain order in the nation as a cogwheel spins around its centre. Lastly, the dot in the middle represents the leader of the Occirly that made this nation possible.
⚙─────────⚙
༻ Culture and Society ༺
The occilirians are very meticulous with time and productivity. They will spend their time working or doing other useful activities for themselves or society. Each individual has their own style of productivity. We will call this the hassle culture. However, there are some that are more relaxed about their daily life. Usually the upper class or the slums.
They hold their etiquette very seriously and often if someone does anything different they will be frown upon. Individuality is a farce in most common places. These align with what the current leader, Van Ciel, wanted. He wanted a nation where people have the same common goal to make society a better place. Either method, as long as he achieves his purpose, does not matter to him.
The main language for this nation is German with their second languages being English and French. They may sound rough to some untrained ears but they mean no harm. They may speak in a different accent than other parts of the world as it’s seen as aesthetic or to make themselves more “fancy” or “sophisticated”.
⚙─────────⚙
༻ Politics ༺
Occirly has opposite ideals of Geronto and disregards them as potential allies. Although as a part of the Neutrality treaty and economic reasons, they don’t confront them as often as before. With Nightral, they secretly made a trading deal in exchange for their magic resources for Occirly’s technology. With Nightral’s magic resources on hand, they can even push science into an undiscovered area. As for Boreal, despite their status as the land of criminals and not recognized by Geronto, they share a secret deal in which they will get the technology while the Occirly nation was given information on other nations' ordeals from them. Some are even hired as spies because of their Masquerade ability.
⚙─────────⚙
༻ Class System ༺
There are 3 main class systems in Occirly. That is Gifted, Talented, and Working. These classes are based on their knowledge or “worth” in terms of progression. These classes were even more, crystal clear when Van Ciel took over the nation. Despite being called a class system here, the leaders disguise it as “eligible people”. They make it as if they had the same opportunities by having a test which is held every 5 years. However, given the difference between the higher and lower class education reach and their workload as well free time, is it really fair that you’re born to a different class with financial differences yet have the same opportunities given to you to “change” it. He believes that freedom and order should be balanced and the individual must change their own fate.
◈ Gifted
The gifted ones are the ones that have high intelligence and contribute to the nation’s progression to modernization. They’re usually high ranking officials and wear purple as their main colour. The colour purple is often associated with royalty and uniqueness. They don’t wear just any silvers but a reinforced one with animus crystal. Making it worth more as animus crystals are rare and have magic properties that could amplify their magic.
◈ Talented
The talented ones are the ones that have talents and skills but are not as intelligent as the Gifted ones. They could do difficult jobs that often need more proper attention to be taken care of. Examples would be artists or Krisbot repairmen.
They don’t wear purple as it’s expensive nor reinforce the silvers. They often wear regular gold or silver or other jewellery. Just to differentiate them from the working class. They usually have a Krisbot like the Gifted class as their personal helpers.
◈ Working
These are the ungifted and untalented people. They don’t have the intelligence nor the skills required. They’re often being used in factories or other harsh labour that needs manpower. Despite having advanced technology in that time, there are still some jobs that require human attentiveness and emotions to work. They often live in slums, away from the centre of the city to make the nation look “clean”. They’re lucky if their lord would give them a place to stay and work.
The working class wear brown and white colour. Usually, it’s their working uniform as it’s very hard to purchase “proper” clothes. Unlike the other 2 classes, they don’t have krisbot with them, unless they made it themselves which in most cases is almost impossible. You could move class from working to talented if your lord frees you and recommends you so that you could get higher education or be adopted by them. Sadly, in most cases, even if you’re talented, the lord usually won’t let go of their manpower that easily.

>>Environment of Occirly seems to be sealed at the moment<<
༻ Environment ༺
Occirly is located on the west side of Dragtal. It has the highest mountain in the world. Occirly is a hot region with mostly sabana and some forest on its edge. At first, it wasn't looked upon but after The Revolution Era, it became one of the most prominent nations as it provided the latest technology. They found new resources as they mine through the Dragtal’s crust. They found gas and crystals lying beneath and soon it will be their uprising in the economic world.
Inside the city, you will see many wheel gears and carvings of it as it’s the main aesthetic of Occirly. Usually, these gears help Occilirians' daily life to replace simple man tasks. However, some gears are used for the main factory either for transporting or something else. Common houses are painted dark or neutral colours. Vibrant colours could often be found away from the city or high-ranking nobles. The stardust and smoke usually cover the surrounding environment thus for efficiency, they chose that colour scheme. Although when looked at night, the buildings are like the sky with the stardust covering it acting as stars.
At the Dragnar’s mouth, it’s said where the Arch of Order gave his life to the Wizard of Bravery when the second Great War happened. Trusting the world into him. It’s not known if the Arch has any descendants. Some believe that because of these events that strange strains of magic flow through the area. Some people or things disappear mysteriously. Some believe that it’s related to Lucidial's Portal theory.
⚙─────────⚙
༻ Technology ༺
Since they have the latest technology, they don’t use human labour nor animals that much. The ones that use it are usually the edge of the nation or the underdeveloped one. Despite their boast in technology and revolutionary ideas, they still have a very social gap between the 3 social structures. This is made to control the population as it increases.
They have created an automobile, floating ship that could carry around 100 people with restaurants and hotels in it by using the Integrity and Patience animus crystals, wireless communication using the constellation's magic path that makes up the world and many bizarre technologies that some might view as out of this world.

>>Krisabot seems to be sealed at the moment<<
༻ Krisabot ༺
Krisabot is the new invention made by Erud Tenacia, ordered by his adopted brother, Van Ciel. Made purposely to help the people of Occirly with their daily life as the demand for work increases, such as communication, information source, consumption maker, etc. He's inspired by how the fire monster from the Infetra family and the krisanis use their magic to connect one’s soul to an inanimate object. These bots are powered by the user's soul and their magic depends on them too. They're made of hard steel metal with ornaments of clockwork and circles patterns. Usually, there's the family's crest on it to distinguish and identify them from others. The shape of these bots usually varied depending on the user's preferences. The most common and preferable one are flying animals.

Creator's footnote:
"Occirly is probably one of my favourite nations because of the steampunk aesthetic. I'm a sucker for it yes because it seems like you're in the future but at the same not. Sure the working condition may be hard but the aesthetic man. Aesthetic. Occirly is inspired by the history of the western world. It's where revolution and many other things are created. I want Occirly to represents their passion and movement of invention. That's why Occirly is more advanced than other nations in terms of technology."
"If you're wondering, yes the topic of discrimination and other sensitive topics will be present subtly. It's unavoidable as it's part of humanity's history that could not be forgotten. ALL of the nations have this problem. Anyone could be anything."
