Sitruuna Shokki was a royal knight in the service of the crown. He lead a squadron during the Kuoleman Tuojan Sota or "The Death Bringer's War" against Windaria. He was known for his insane speeds and his deadly accuracy. He found with two lightning charged blades known as Salamanhammas or "Lightning Fang" and it's because of this it earned in the name "The Lightning Tiger".

Shokki's best friend from a very young age was Indigo Tuulta - who he drug around with him every where they went, including straight into enlisting for the knights. Shokki then met the love of his life, and his bond/wife, Palava Tuli a little later in life and they together had a baby boy, Sitriini Sinfonia.

Due to the nature of Shokki's position in the Knights and with the war raging, he asked Tuulta to look after Tuli and Sinfonia should anyhing happen to him in battle. He was killed in action when Sinfonia was only three (3) years old after a devasting surprise attack from the Windarians.

Next subject that's been rotting in my brain and I made you a little chart to go by to help with visuals. The tattoos a Windarian carried on their face were their Military Rank. Much like how some human military carry their ranking on the shoulder of their uniforms by what gets referred to as stars and bars - the Windarian's military ranking came in the form of facial tattoos the more one had the higher their rank.

This is also a customary practice for them because their Military ruled their government. So only the highest ranking members of the military could make governmental decisions. When it came to the military every member was assigned a partner in the form of a moogle and that moogle would also carry the same rank as their assigned partner but generally tattooed in the opposite fashion.

So since a solder started with marks under the right eye, a moogle partner would start with marks under the left. There were more members of the Windarian military then there weren't.

Windaria's Unlimited :: Wielder of the Golden Gun

⋆୨𖤓୧⋆ The wielder of the Infernal Father's gun, would be the one who seal his heart to this beast and survives. A grand champion that would rise above the rest to take his seat as War God of Windaria, known only through legend as Asher.

As time passed, the Windarian people came to find that one such soul - the black blood - Fekete Szél - was Asher incarnate. With his heart sealed to the gun, he was accepted as it's chosen wielder by the God within, the Infernal Father - Bahamut. The gun itself is grafted into Kaze's body by way of his right arm, that gets reconstructed when the Magun is thawed. As long as the vial that contains his heart remains undamaged, Kaze himself can never die. He is effectively immortal as the only beings that can damage the vial are one White Cloud, his Unlimited counterpart and Chaos itself.

This gun grants it's wielder the ability to access the Soil Spiral in a way that normal Soil Sages cannot. It gives it's commander the ability to combine varying colors of Soil Bullets to summon a variable army of Soil Spirits.

Pictured: Phoenix, Typhoon, Ixion, Shiva, Atmos, Meteor Master, Ifrit, Odin (there's more.)

A Soil Spirit's power is generally unmatched in most cases and delivers a devastated blow to whatever foe unleashes them on.

You can see Kaze summon here:

In order to summon a spirit, Kaze uses different combinations of colors of Soil and Soil Poetry by way of describing the Soil being used.

(Please remember Soil is not dirt but instead it is the crystallization of a passed on Soul. Every Soul in the Universe is either comprised of one of two elemental building blocks and they are Soil and Mist. Most things possess a Soul of Soil therefore their soul carries that color hue.)

But the ability to call forth an army of Soil Spirits is not the only thing the Magun is capable of. Kaze is a skilled Soil Sage and as such can control powerful magics. He can command Soil to do many things but one of the other abilities the Magun possesses is spellcasting.

Different color combinations will result in a Soil Spirit, but what if he were to use the same. For example, we'll use Fire Red.

If Kaze were to fire a single Fire Red from the Magun it would cast a spell.

1 Fire Red = Fire

2 Fire Red = Fira

3 Fire Red = Firaga

It works like this for most spells in the terms of general spellcasting. The more of the same type of Soil he uses, the stronger the spell. Kaze can fast cast with the Magun and fire off as many spells as he has the ammo for. Further more, being as connected to the Soil Spiral as he is, he can manifest bullets into form whenever he needs them.

This is why Windarian Religion dictated that whoever was accepted by the Infernal Father's Golden Gun would become a War God. Just as Kumo can use the Maken telepathically because of his connection to it, Kaze can manifest ammunition for the Magun at will and fast cast with it as long as he has the right combination and he doesn't over tax his heart.

Because just like the the Maken is Kumo's soul, the Magun is Kaze's heart. Both weapons are the Unlimited's very lives and as long as they remain undamaged they are nigh unstoppable forces of nature.

The Infernals || The Children of Destruction

˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚ The Windarians are, Soil Souled, creatures that are what is known in the universe as Pure Blood Infernals. This meaning that they are the closest born to the God of Destruction, Lord Bahamut, himself. Due to their close proximity to his bloodline, The Infernals are Soil Souled creatures that all possess a hue to their blood. Infernals being direct descendants of Bahamut bleed the same color as the Soil that composing their soul.

They possess an augmented set of senses when in comparison to that of a human and sharpened fangs. It was also not uncommon to see a Windarian that refused to trim their claws. They are a warrior race that values the collective above the individual and they base the value one has on that collective based on how the hue of one's soil could be utilized within the space of Windarian society.

Windarians often referred to each other by the color of one's blood as all Windarians had their souls read at birth by a Soil Shaman to determine one's hue.

Soil is a acronym for Spectrum Of Individual Life and the Windarians see themselves as the safe guard of the Soil Spiral or Soil Stream. As Soil Souled creatures cycle in death and become reborn throughout the universe as new life and the future generations of all sorts of races and species to come. Windarians champion themselves to speak for the soil to those who cannot hear it.

They refer to Lord Bahamut as "The Infernal Father" and are in reflection to their opposite of those who live in the clouds upon high, the children of Creation, The Celestials.

[symphonicsoul]

Helakanpunainen Aurinko is Misterica's reigning king. Known formally by his kingdom as Lord Aurinko, he took the throne when he was only 20 years old due to the death of his father. Aurinko was a child king, as Misterican adulthood is not reached until the age of 25.

He was a child king with a child bride, marrying Kuu when she was 19 and as such they assumed the throne and brought in their reigning age - Age of the Eclipse.

When Aurinko took the throne, Misterica was still locked deep in war with Windaria. However after some intense work and negotiations, when he was 23 years old, he managed to forge the Tuuli-Sumu Tulitauko between the two worlds. This put the war in the state of a ceasefire until the agreed upon demands could be met.

In order to get the Windarians to agree to such a thing, Aurinko promised for their prophesied champions - the Demon Gunman and the Demon Swordsman- to meet in battle to decide the end of the war once and for all. Except neither world had yet to find their champion. Misterica knew of their legend and that the chosen Misterican would be the Child of White, but that child had yet to be born.

Four years later when Aurinko was 27 years old his first son Punainen Usva was born and he showed care and concern to his child in the best ways he could. He was a doting father when he managed to have time amongst the chaos of leading a Kingdom in tandem with the Religious Council and showed great pride in his son's accomplishments.

Until four years later when Aurinko was 31 years old, his second son was born and not only was his second son born but he was the prophesied Child of White. Valkoinen Pilvi came to be and he found himself both overjoyed and mortified at the same time, because in signing the ceasefire, he damned his unborn son to a life destined for war. So Aurinko became distant to his son, trying to find a way to cope with what was to come in the future but he found himself being swayed over and over by this child's energy of pure joy and his seemingly endless talent for just about everything.

He couldn't help feeling extreme pride in both his sons and he loved them dearly, so he began doing everything he could to avoid the pushing from the Religious Council to prepare Pilvi for war. He did not want that innocent child to ever have to see battle despite the circumstances. He did not want to have the discussion with the Windarian leaders and he did not want to talk to the Religious Council because everything was different now. The Child of White was his son, and Aurinko saw "His little Pilvi" before he saw anything else.

[symphonicsoul]

Valkoinen Pilvi, youngest son of the Eclipse, is second born to Lord Aurinko and Lady Kuu. He is Misterica's prophesied savior and The Child of White. Pilvi is the only Misterican in their history to ever be born of the color White and as such that makes him the one destined to inherit the Holy Blade, The Maken, in which Lady Tiamat, The Celestial Mother's soul resides.

Misterican religion dictates that The Child of White shall be the Child of Salvation and lead Misterica into an age of prosperity and growth, because of this Pivli was seen as not just the second son of the Royal Family but also a Religious Icon - even a Religious Artifact to the Religious Council themselves.

The Ritual to obtain the Holy Blade was performed on Pilvi's 13th birthday and in it he was to offer himself as a sacrifice to the Celestial Mother, so she may be born anew. No one knew what was going to happen during this ritual, and thanks to Usva's teasing and Kuu and Aurinko's tension - Pilvi came to the belief that once performed he would die during the ceremony.

Lady Tiamat accepted him as her vessel however and their souls mixed. Now they are both contained with the Maken and Pilvi shares his body with the Celestial Mother - truly becoming her proper vessel.

When he was 15, he had to engage in what is known as the Rites Ceremony to decide which sibling will obtain the right to ascend the throne. Being so close to his older brother, Punainen Usva, this was devastating news for him as he did not want to ascend the throne nor did he want to fight his brother but his brother made him promise to give it everything he had and not to throw the match. Pilvi agreed and in turn ended up winning the match and the right to ascend the throne.

Everything went to hell however when Pilvi turned 17 and the Pillar of Darkness that had sat on Misterican since he was only a baby activated and smothered the world in darkness. Misterica was destroyed despite their best efforts to save their home and Misterica was plunged into Wonderland. Pilvi died that day only to revive on the enemy world of Windaria where we was found by a young girl named Aura.

She took him back to her home, and that was when he met the man of Black Wind -Fekete Szél- his fated counterpart. His Other. Pilvi was given the name Holdfény by the pair as to not draw attention to him while living there. He lived with them for three years until Windaria was soon plunged into darkness in the same way Misterica had been. Pilvi and Szél engaged the darkness known as Chaos head on but ultimately even Windaria fell to it's might.

The two of them were killed in battle and both of them were plunged into Wonderland along with what remained of Windaria.....

A Prince’s Thoughts || Always Accepting 

@lady-quen​ asked:

💭 + the thousand year feud

“You mean the Kuoleman Tuojan Sota. It was not a feud, it was a war. Address it correctly. I’m sure while we don’t see eye to eye on most matters, even Black Wind would agree with me on this.  It was not a feud, it was a war. Address it correctly

When it comes to the war, it’s over now. Whatever bad blood existed between Windaria and Misterica is long since dead just like the rest of our people.  Black Wind and I are all that remain and I have no desire to fight with him - worse yet, over a war that started many centuries before we were even born.  

As I was taught, they started it.  The Death Bringer attacked Misterican traders who never even raised a finger against Windaria. The Death Bringer was the first demon gunman, corrupted and possessed by the Dragon Lord to turn traitor against the opposite of his people.  We’d done nothing to them but they hated us anyway.  

It’s said that at one time Windarians and Mistericans didn’t hate each other but this war was many centuries old by the time I came about so I can hardly imagine such a thing. I got lucky to find the only two good ones on the planet when I woke up there after Misterica was destroyed.  If I’d been found by anyone else they would have gutted me where I stood. 

One of them almost did.  

Living with Black Wind and Aura taught me many things about a culture I hardly understood, but that didn’t change the sad truth that if I dared show my face anywhere outside of our small secluded home or the wood that surrounded them. any Windarian that saw me would have done anything it took to have my head.  I hardly can feel any sort of warm feelings towards a people that would have gladly slaughtered my family and myself without a second thought. 

Any Misterican that was caught by those savages was tortured and ultimately killed in the most inhumane way possible. Horns broken, lungs punctured. They were tortured.  Windarians were trained to destroy our lungs and we were trained to protect them and deflect any incoming blow to the chest.  My training as a Knight spent more time teaching me how to evade blows and protect my chest than anything else. We were taught to protect and defend above all else. 

Ourselves and the people we served. 

Those animals would have hunted me and never stopped if they knew I had lived through the destruction of my home. All because of that damn war.  There was never any talking, not until Father took the throne. Somehow he managed to negotiate a ceasefire. Somehow he managed to get it to stop, but yet they wanted me to fight the Demon Gunman anyway. 

I constantly had words in my ear about how the Demon Gunman and the Demon Swordsman were destined to clash but I hardly wanted that, and now? I want it even less. 

The problem with all this is, I said as I was taught, and I phrased it like that because words are important and just because I was taught it, does not make it fact.  I am painfully aware of history being twisted and warped in the favor of the winning side and I hardly doubt something like that hasn’t happened between the history of our peoples. I almost guarantee Black Wind has a vastly different recollection of the events of the war.  

The Problem is even if things got twisted they still were killing us and they still would have slaughtered my family and myself without hesitation. So even if I know things were wrong there’s still a small part of me that can’t stop hating them for that.”

Headcanon: The Tuliase Kielto 

The Tuliase Kielto, in other words, was Misterica’s mass prohibition on the use of firearms and that’s just what it means. “Firearm Prohibition.”  Firearms, while invented and put into use at one time by the Misterican people, were banned outright when it was found they were being used in ways that could be considered torturous and the amount of damage they could cause to one’s hearing. 

Windaria, locked in a never ending feud with the Mistericas were the people to invent and employ the use of these weapons first. Misterica, adopted the technology in kind as to not allow their enemy to gain an advantage against them. It was a rolling bolder of events that lead to bigger and more deadly weapons, which in turn meant bigger and more deadly explosions. 

The nature of an explosion of any kind can be quite damaging to someone of Misterican descent due to the damage it inflicts upon their hearing. They’re capable of blowing out a person’s hearing entirely and many Mistericans were deafened in both battle against the Windaran’s and the process of their own inventions.  

Other problems came along with firearms beyond the deafening and torturous sounds they created. The smoke they let off from their explosive rounds were damaging to Misterican lungs and a shot from one of them to the chest at any place meant for a torturous and painful death for the one who was unfortunate enough to receive it.  The more Mistericans dove into the technology the more they found themselves piling up their own causalities if anything from pure accident. 

It had seemed that the Windarians had found the perfect weapon to use against them. They’d found a weapon they could not implore themselves if only because in doing so it destroyed their hearing and polluted their lungs. Firearms of all types were considered a torturous device by Misterica and their use was banned outright through the populace 

Because of this development in Windarian armaments, the Mistericans explored how to better combat the threat. Thus they poured their own research and development into their sumunaamio (mist mask) to not just filter their Mist from their breath before it entered the air but also to protect their hearing as well. Mistercia also developed a two way filter within their masks, that both filters their own mist from their breath so it does not get into the air unless they want it to and a filter that works to purify smoke and any other hazardous fumes from the air to prevent them from reaching Misterican lungs.

The Religious Council deemed such weaponry both barbaric and demonic. They declared it a mark of Bahamut’s followers to use such torturous devices. The Royal Knights and the Misterican Military have been trained to deal with such weapons and they were all forced to take an oath not to use them upon their enlistment. Some mercenaries and independent agents however will still resort to their use from time to time but for a Misterican to be found with a firearm in their possession it is a hefty price to be paid.
