'''History//'''
:In some whispy outskirt starcluster that follows the code of law of the Unity, there is a small, blue green world with very little going on: it is home to a resort city for the rich and influential among the Unity. It might have once had an interestingly divergent culture, but it has since been devalued in favour of tourism success. In the picturesque hills outside the city lives Ho'oh Acala, an amateur artist. Living in a post-modern wonderland she designed when she was seven, when her preference was still architecture, she paints. Her dearest wish is to paint something truly new and unique, something which expresses herself in a society of teeming stars, but she has never been able to. Her atelier has dozens of 'failures' strung from the ceiling as a reminder. Occasionally she will take a couple of these failures to the city, selling them to Unity socialites who don't know any better. She hates this. Sometimes they commission her to paint their portraits. She hates this even more.

:This quiet existence of artistic disappointment and boiling anger at rich people is tempered by the martial arts. Ho'oh is the 108th successor of the Acala Tensei-ryu, a total combat philosophy which is built around perfecting one's personal calm. Though Ho'oh is successor mostly as a formality, she has diligently practiced it for all her admittedly short life in attempt to be more even tempered. Though not nearly a master of the style, she is extremely adept by most standards and much stronger than her slight frame would suggest. However, while the Acala school is a full contact hand-to-hand art which incorporates any number of weapons, this is a side-effect of it being a system for the development of PRAYER without the need for technological augmentation. As PRAYER is about controlling one's own personal cosmos, Ho'oh has always been interested in the development of her powers to better understand herself, and perhaps break the block on her painting. As such, when some official from Nirvana came looking with an offer to help her build her PRAYER to the highest levels, she couldn't help but be interested.

'''Advantages//'''
:PRAYER 3 - The Big Bang//STAND TALL AND SHAKE THE HEAVENS (12)
::Ho'oh's PRAYER is an acausal link back to the birth of some other universe: not just the hot aftermath of creation, but rather ''creation itself''. With access to the expansion of space and the weird, unknowable physics and energies of a big bang at her disposal, Ho'oh is able to warp the space of our universe.
::L3 Facet 'Shukuchi' (Distance) (18) - cuts the space between 'here' and 'there' away, giving the impression that Ho'oh has teleported, or that she is extremely fast.
::L2 Facet 'Saidai Oka Hoken' (Augmentation) (9) - A striking technique where Ho'oh twists space to increase the mass-impact of a single fist. A side-effect is the superhot quark-gluon plasma pulled through by the Facet.
:Exotic Equipment: Prototype Instinctual Polymorph Weapon Ehrgeiz. A smart matter colony masquerading as Ho'oh's strike gloves and most elements of her clothing. As Ho'oh has no experience with conventional weapons and legally is not allowed to use a firearm, it is a weapon allowing her to fight evenly with properly armed combatants using only her martial arts. A gift from the Nirvana Skunk Works facility, utilising technology related to the PRAYER Drive to account for dramatic changes in size and mass. Marketing grist claims theoretically unlimited forms. Ho'oh has lost the manual.
::Ehrgeiz has 3 modes. It is a hand to hand weapon
::Mode 1: Damage Mode quadruples power for the purpose of damage +3 accuracy.
::Mode 2: Anti-armour Mode: halves enemy armour, double's power for damage purposes
::Mode 3: Mixed mode: triples power for damage purposes, -4 points to enemy armour.

== Duke Linwood Brando the XIV ==

:PRAYER 3 [12] - Key of SOLOMON: A program which summons alien constructs from a universe with parameters entirely unlike those that spawned mankind, the Key of SOLOMON is the original reason the prestigious Brando family was forced to mass upload. After their progenitor developed the ''daemon summoning program'' much of the Brando household were beset with horrific visions and mass delusions, forcing the remaining members of the family to upload before their minds became tainted with the alien influence. In the process, they gained the ability to control the extra-dimensional creatures and have since held these powers to secure additional power and influence over the decades.
::L2 Facet [9] - ''Impulse Luxuria'' (Mind): A specialized element of the summoning program designed to strip away the safeguards in the target's personality. While ordinarily used to cause enemies to go berserk and turn on their allies, its original function is to cause social rivals to lose their inhibitions and embarrass themselves.
::L2 Facet [9] - ''Reversal Superbia'' (Transmute): A program which is able to convert an offering into undifferentiated mass from the other universe, which then takes on the qualities imposed upon it by the summoner. Because it conforms to the desires imposed upon it, it may be used in tandem with Active Invidia to grant 'wishes' of the tangible sort.
::L1 Facet [3] - ''Active Invidia'' (Sense): ''Daemons'' enter the target's mind through a physical (or wireless) connection, clipping away at low-level inhibitions of the mind to grant the summoner an unrestricted view of the target's desires.
::L1 Facet [3] - ''Narrative Acedia'' (Causation): An effect which allows the ''daemons'' to twist the flow of causality in macroscale ways, applying things such as 'curses' or 'blessings' upon a target. It is theorized that the effect operates by offering the realities shunted off into impossibility as sacrifices to extradimensional life.

=="The Beggar"==
'''Player:''' 100thlurker

[[File:The Beggar.jpg|288px|thumb|A digital mural in the ancient St. Copernicus' Cathedral-Laboratory added in the decade after the death of Kirie Kazimierz.]]

According to one of the many rumors swirling around the Omega Church, "The Beggar" is the first of the Many Faced, a number of immortal transhuman shapeshifters loyal to the Last Church dating back to when the all-encompassing Unity was still young. One particularly macabre telling speaks of insane assassins who wear the faces of those they murder and deceive with the voices of the dead. Though now largely discredited as absolutely ludicrous conspiracy theory by the general public, many in the world of the Cloak and Dagger lend a surprising amount of credence to their existence.

The rumors of Many Faced, and the Beggar in particular, are inextricably linked with those surrounding Logi-Bishop Kirie Cornelius Kazimierz. An ambitious and talented theologian-scientist, he came to focus on a project known only as the "Vaults". This became a dark episode in Church history when, for reasons unknown, he was Excommunicated ''in extremis'' and Unity intervention troops stormed his headquarters, the St. Copernicus Cathedral. Kirie did not survive. Much of the information regarding him was violently scrubbed out by his Excommunication.

==AEFRE==

Created by a now defunct corporation, AEFRE is a unique prototype bioroid. The corporation was attempting to design and manufacture several lines of bioroids who were certain to be able to use PRAYER abilities for government, military, and corporate work. In her case, Aefre is a general protoype - what would have been the "mother bioroid" of several types of new PRAYER using bioroids. Given her freedom by her lead designer during the mysterious collapse of her creating company, Aefre is currently wandering about - learning and gaining experience with her PRAYER abilities. She is accompanied by VALKYRIE aka Valk - a highly enhanced, sentient but stoic, tactical drone that was created to serve as a bodyguard for Aefre.

==Macky==

:Name: Deidre "Macky" McIntyre
:Race: Human

History: Deidre McIntyre came from Homeward, a colony in the reaches; something she never wants to admit. Homeward was a 'libertarian paradise'; a rhetoric-steeped stronghold of self-determination and unforgiving decadence. Born of an industrial family, Deidre's childhood become increasingly lonely, as families of her playmates fell from grace in the merciless market climate, and they were ostracized. Left only with her father's business to learn, Deidre took to hanging about on the assembly lines, hiding from a debutante's life that her older sisters took to in her stead. Her parents, annoyed, kept punishing her.

One day, she came home to find security no longer recognized her DNA. After getting shocked and nearly killed by defense turrets, she took the message.

Living in the factory districts, Deidre managed to survive by being a damned good mechanic, fixing everything from fabricators to assembly robots to Asuras. Her life became harder, however, as money dried up; the 'invisible hand' dropped the ball, leaving workers without jobs and captains of industry looking like fat, useless idiots. When the riots started, she took all her time escaping violence; she even had to steal a Deva to get out as a factory she was working in was burned to the ground.

It wasn't until she managed to find her way into Nirvana's employ that she found a way off of Homeward. As the company pulled out of the dying 'paradise', she managed to impress a few people by repairing their machines. All she asked, in exchange for helping them get their equipment in order, was a steady job and transfer off this world. She looked out the window once as they flew away.

Taking the name "Macky", she drifted from ship to ship, taking new positions as they were offered, and exploring.

==Experimental Mobile Assault Response Unit (EMARU) 'Emma'==
Bio:
An experimental creation on the part of Nirvana, EMARU (or 'Emma' in day to day conversation) was an attempt to mass produce a PRAYER-capable combat gynoid with standardised capabilites. The project hit a snag when the PRAYER systems Nirvana was using could not be induced to connect with a suitable universe with any great degree of regularity, resulting in extremely high costs in scrapped units for each operational gynoid. The project was shut down, and the handful of operational prototypes were attached to Nirvana's security division.

Prayer 3 (12) 

Emma was designed to use her PRAYER system as a power source for a number of internal and external systems with requirements that could not be met by any generator that could fit in a human size chassis. The universe to which she is connected possesses an extremely high relative energy density, and as a result, Emma's PRAYER system is capable of supporting weaponry or defensive shields that would normally only be vehicle portable, subject to the limitations of cooling and maintenance.
:Level 4 facet: Power advanced offensive/defensive systems (Augmentation) (30)

Unique Equipment 

Personal Shear Cannon; a cut down shear cannon adapted for use with Emma's PRAYER system. Not as powerful as a full sized version, still impressively nasty for a manpack weapon. Can obviously only be used by Emma.

'''History'''
:Archbishop Conrad Gresham has always been known as a strong-willed and shrewd leader. Only among family was he ever known to show a more human side. The festivities for the birth of his daughter Lucy were filled with much rejoicing. However, the joy was not to last - his wife vanished on an expedition beyond UNITY territory, and only a few years later his young daughter succumbed to a mysterious illness beyond even the knowledge of the finest minds in the Church.
:The grief-stricken father chose to restore his daughter via the power of science. A bioroid based on her DNA and mental pattern was created. Lucy A, as she was designated, was everything her father could desire - including frozen in time. Lucy A, or Lucia as she likes to be called, looks considerably younger than her actual age, and represents her father's idealized vision of his daughter.
:This created no little amount of controversy for the Archbishop, which has only relented recently as Lucia has joined the Sacred Order of St. Duhem. The Duhemite order is dedicated to the righteous practice of science to advance the Church and protect the innocent. While Lucia is only an Acolyte of the Order, she proudly bears its signature arms and armor, and she hopes to learn much on her assignment with Nirvana corporation.

'''History//'''
:In some whispy outskirt starcluster that follows the code of law of the Unity, there is a small, blue green world with very little going on: it is home to a resort city for the rich and influential among the Unity. It might have once had an interestingly divergent culture, but it has since been devalued in favour of tourism success. In the picturesque hills outside the city lives Ho'oh Acala, an amateur artist. Living in a post-modern wonderland she designed when she was seven, when her preference was still architecture, she paints. Her dearest wish is to paint something truly new and unique, something which expresses herself in a society of teeming stars, but she has never been able to. Her atelier has dozens of 'failures' strung from the ceiling as a reminder. Occasionally she will take a couple of these failures to the city, selling them to Unity socialites who don't know any better. She hates this. Sometimes they commission her to paint their portraits. She hates this even more.

:This quiet existence of artistic disappointment and boiling anger at rich people is tempered by the martial arts. Ho'oh is the 108th successor of the Acala Tensei-ryu, a total combat philosophy which is built around perfecting one's personal calm. Though Ho'oh is successor mostly as a formality, she has diligently practiced it for all her admittedly short life in attempt to be more even tempered. Though not nearly a master of the style, she is extremely adept by most standards and much stronger than her slight frame would suggest. However, while the Acala school is a full contact hand-to-hand art which incorporates any number of weapons, this is a side-effect of it being a system for the development of PRAYER without the need for technological augmentation. As PRAYER is about controlling one's own personal cosmos, Ho'oh has always been interested in the development of her powers to better understand herself, and perhaps break the block on her painting. As such, when some official from Nirvana came looking with an offer to help her build her PRAYER to the highest levels, she couldn't help but be interested.

'''Advantages//'''
:PRAYER 3 - The Big Bang//STAND TALL AND SHAKE THE HEAVENS (12)
::Ho'oh's PRAYER is an acausal link back to the birth of some other universe: not just the hot aftermath of creation, but rather ''creation itself''. With access to the expansion of space and the weird, unknowable physics and energies of a big bang at her disposal, Ho'oh is able to warp the space of our universe.
::L3 Facet 'Shukuchi' (Distance) (18) - cuts the space between 'here' and 'there' away, giving the impression that Ho'oh has teleported, or that she is extremely fast.
::L2 Facet 'Saidai Oka Hoken' (Augmentation) (9) - A striking technique where Ho'oh twists space to increase the mass-impact of a single fist. A side-effect is the superhot quark-gluon plasma pulled through by the Facet.
:Exotic Equipment: Prototype Instinctual Polymorph Weapon Ehrgeiz. A smart matter colony masquerading as Ho'oh's strike gloves and most elements of her clothing. As Ho'oh has no experience with conventional weapons and legally is not allowed to use a firearm, it is a weapon allowing her to fight evenly with properly armed combatants using only her martial arts. A gift from the Nirvana Skunk Works facility, utilising technology related to the PRAYER Drive to account for dramatic changes in size and mass. Marketing grist claims theoretically unlimited forms. Ho'oh has lost the manual.
::Ehrgeiz has 3 modes. It is a hand to hand weapon
::Mode 1: Damage Mode quadruples power for the purpose of damage +3 accuracy.
::Mode 2: Anti-armour Mode: halves enemy armour, double's power for damage purposes
::Mode 3: Mixed mode: triples power for damage purposes, -4 points to enemy armour.

:PRAYER 3 [12] - Key of SOLOMON: A program which summons alien constructs from a universe with parameters entirely unlike those that spawned mankind, the Key of SOLOMON is the original reason the prestigious Brando family was forced to mass upload. After their progenitor developed the ''daemon summoning program'' much of the Brando household were beset with horrific visions and mass delusions, forcing the remaining members of the family to upload before their minds became tainted with the alien influence. In the process, they gained the ability to control the extra-dimensional creatures and have since held these powers to secure additional power and influence over the decades.
::L2 Facet [9] - ''Impulse Luxuria'' (Mind): A specialized element of the summoning program designed to strip away the safeguards in the target's personality. While ordinarily used to cause enemies to go berserk and turn on their allies, its original function is to cause social rivals to lose their inhibitions and embarrass themselves.
::L2 Facet [9] - ''Reversal Superbia'' (Transmute): A program which is able to convert an offering into undifferentiated mass from the other universe, which then takes on the qualities imposed upon it by the summoner. Because it conforms to the desires imposed upon it, it may be used in tandem with Active Invidia to grant 'wishes' of the tangible sort.
::L1 Facet [3] - ''Active Invidia'' (Sense): ''Daemons'' enter the target's mind through a physical (or wireless) connection, clipping away at low-level inhibitions of the mind to grant the summoner an unrestricted view of the target's desires.
::L1 Facet [3] - ''Narrative Acedia'' (Causation): An effect which allows the ''daemons'' to twist the flow of causality in macroscale ways, applying things such as 'curses' or 'blessings' upon a target. It is theorized that the effect operates by offering the realities shunted off into impossibility as sacrifices to extradimensional life.

'''Player:''' 100thlurker

'''A Selection from Theology'''

What is God?

For the Last Church, the God humanity seeks is many things; He is Father, She is Mother, It is our Shepard, the endpoint of fate, but above all, God is the architect of Paradise and the unquestionable, impartial judge of the immortal Soul.

In order to fulfill this critical function, God must be an Omniscient being, aware of All Things, in All Places.

Ultimately, through PRAYER, humanity brings itself in closer Communion with the nascent God, by tabling data of strange universes and breaching the barriers of the cosmos.

'''"The Beggar"'''

The Faceless Ones are one of the many ancient rumors surrounding the Omega Church, supposedly from the days when the all-encompassing Unity was still young. Among this number is "The Beggar", a figure infamous among those familiar with the cloak and dagger, reputed to be one of the first Faceless Ones. If such is true, then it is an astoundingly ancient being.

==AEFRE==

Created by a now defunct corporation, AEFRE is a unique prototype bioroid. The corporation was attempting to design and manufacture several lines of bioroids who were certain to be able to use PRAYER abilities for government, military, and corporate work. In her case, Aefre is a general protoype - what would have been the "mother bioroid" of several types of new PRAYER using bioroids. Given her freedom by her lead designer during the mysterious collapse of her creating company, Aefre is currently wandering about - learning and gaining experience with her PRAYER abilities. She is accompanied by VALKYRIE aka Valk - a highly enhanced, sentient but stoic, tactical drone that was created to serve as a bodyguard for Aefre.

==Macky==

:Name: Deidre "Macky" McIntyre
:Race: Human

History: Deidre McIntyre came from Homeward, a colony in the reaches; something she never wants to admit. Homeward was a 'libertarian paradise'; a rhetoric-steeped stronghold of self-determination and unforgiving decadence. Born of an industrial family, Deidre's childhood become increasingly lonely, as families of her playmates fell from grace in the merciless market climate, and they were ostracized. Left only with her father's business to learn, Deidre took to hanging about on the assembly lines, hiding from a debutante's life that her older sisters took to in her stead. Her parents, annoyed, kept punishing her.

One day, she came home to find security no longer recognized her DNA. After getting shocked and nearly killed by defense turrets, she took the message.

Living in the factory districts, Deidre managed to survive by being a damned good mechanic, fixing everything from fabricators to assembly robots to Asuras. Her life became harder, however, as money dried up; the 'invisible hand' dropped the ball, leaving workers without jobs and captains of industry looking like fat, useless idiots. When the riots started, she took all her time escaping violence; she even had to steal a Deva to get out as a factory she was working in was burned to the ground.

It wasn't until she managed to find her way into Nirvana's employ that she found a way off of Homeward. As the company pulled out of the dying 'paradise', she managed to impress a few people by repairing their machines. All she asked, in exchange for helping them get their equipment in order, was a steady job and transfer off this world. She looked out the window once as they flew away.

Taking the name "Macky", she drifted from ship to ship, taking new positions as they were offered, and exploring.

==Experimental Mobile Assault Response Unit (EMARU) 'Emma'==
Bio:
An experimental creation on the part of Nirvana, EMARU (or 'Emma' in day to day conversation) was an attempt to mass produce a PRAYER-capable combat gynoid with standardised capabilites. The project hit a snag when the PRAYER systems Nirvana was using could not be induced to connect with a suitable universe with any great degree of regularity, resulting in extremely high costs in scrapped units for each operational gynoid. The project was shut down, and the handful of operational prototypes were attached to Nirvana's security division.

Prayer 3 (12) 

Emma was designed to use her PRAYER system as a power source for a number of internal and external systems with requirements that could not be met by any generator that could fit in a human size chassis. The universe to which she is connected possesses an extremely high relative energy density, and as a result, Emma's PRAYER system is capable of supporting weaponry or defensive shields that would normally only be vehicle portable, subject to the limitations of cooling and maintenance.
:Level 4 facet: Power advanced offensive/defensive systems (Augmentation) (30)

Unique Equipment 

Personal Shear Cannon; a cut down shear cannon adapted for use with Emma's PRAYER system. Not as powerful as a full sized version, still impressively nasty for a manpack weapon. Can obviously only be used by Emma.

'''History'''
:Archbishop Conrad Gresham has always been known as a strong-willed and shrewd leader. Only among family was he ever known to show a more human side. The festivities for the birth of his daughter Lucy were filled with much rejoicing. However, the joy was not to last - his wife vanished on an expedition beyond UNITY territory, and only a few years later his young daughter succumbed to a mysterious illness beyond even the knowledge of the finest minds in the Church.
:The grief-stricken father chose to restore his daughter via the power of science. A bioroid based on her DNA and mental pattern was created. Lucy A, as she was designated, was everything her father could desire - including frozen in time. Lucy A, or Lucia as she likes to be called, looks considerably younger than her actual age, and represents her father's idealized vision of his daughter.
:This created no little amount of controversy for the Archbishop, which has only relented recently as Lucia has joined the Sacred Order of St. Duhem. The Duhemite order is dedicated to the righteous practice of science to advance the Church and protect the innocent. While Lucia is only an Acolyte of the Order, she proudly bears its signature arms and armor, and she hopes to learn much on her assignment with Nirvana corporation.

Custom system designed for use in [[Mai Otome: Blue Sky Liberation]]. It is still currently in-development.

=System Overview=

R-SOLAR is a system designed to support playing characters that have transformation as a core mechanic, where the transformation unlocks spectacularly improved abilities. in Mai Otome it wasn't uncommon for even the least impressive transformations to be able to snap giant stone pillars in half, lift airliners and create tornadoes just by moving quickly. The high end, which the PCs will typically be a part of, was just pretty ridiculous all up. This rule set is an attempt to convey that.

The objective is something with relatively simple mathematics and a number of clear rules with consistent application. However there are elements of more Mage-esque freeform design which might prove to be problematic in meshing with the clearer rules, but most people in #lords are adept with this kind of thing. Let us struggle together.

Finally there is a different approach to combat and combat resolution, as there is no 'health' in the game, as it were. The ideal is to create a faster resolution of combat which is still rewarding to take part in, while also having real potential for loses. We'll see how that goes.

=Character Creation=

As R-SOLAR doesn't support exp gain, it has a relatively heavy, and generous, front end. Though characters will gain new abilities and powers in the course of the game, these are rewards and results from dramatic content as opposed to bought from a list as in other games.

==A Few Questions From Monthly Otome==

The Monthly Otome is a high quality magazine published by Galleria Academy through its Journalism Club, one of the notorious school clubs operating out of the Quartier Latin. The Monthly features articles, essays, poetry and photographs collected from around the school - usually students, but occasionally the faculty. One of the big draws for the public are the student profiles, which feature as their centerpiece 'Just a Few Questions ...', a 100 question survey. The questions range from the serious to the irreverent to the personal. Some of the questions are reproduced here. Naturally they should be answered in the mode of your character, though what that mode is might only be apparent after you're finished.

:'''Question 1//''' What is your name?
:'''Question 2//''' What year are you in?
:'''Question 3//''' When is your birthday?
:'''Question 4//''' What is your blood type?
:'''Question 6//''' How tall are you?
:'''Question 7//''' Where are you from?
:'''Question 8//''' What's your family composition like?
:'''Question 10//''' Do you enjoy school?
:'''Question 11//''' What's your favourite subject?
:'''Question 12//''' How about your least favourite?
:'''Question 13//''' Are you in any clubs or societies?
:'''Question 16//''' Do you play any musical instruments?
:'''Question 18//''' Is there anybody you've been thinking about lately?
:'''Question 19//''' What's your room attendant like?
:'''Question 20//''' What's the nature of your relationship with your room attendant?
:'''Question 25//''' Do you have any dreams for the future?
:'''Question 26//''' What's your forte?
:'''Question 27//''' How about your shortcomings?
:'''Question 30//''' What's your personal motto?
:'''Question 32//''' Do you have a favourite food?
:'''Question 33//''' And a favourite drink?
:'''Question 34//''' Favourite colours?
:'''Question 37//''' How about a favourite saying or idiom?
:'''Question 42//''' What comes to mind when you think about spring?
:'''Question 43//''' And summer?
:'''Question 44//''' And autumn?
:'''Question 45//''' And finally winter?
:'''Question 52//''' Have you ever been asked out?
:'''Question 53//''' Do you have any marriage desires?
:'''Question 62//''' Is there anything you cannot forgive?
:'''Question 64//''' What's the most interesting thing to happen to you so far?
:'''Question 65//''' And the saddest thing?
:'''Question 66//''' If I told you the world would end tomorrow, what would you do?
:'''Question 72//''' What's your favourite holiday?
:'''Question 81//''' Do you have a special job in school?
:'''Question 82//''' How much time do you devote to study?
:'''Question 83//''' What do you do on your weekends?
:'''Question 95//''' Do you have many friends?
:'''Question 96//''' If you were to be reincarnated, what would you like to be?
:'''Question 100//''' How did you find our Q&A?

==Report Card==

Every Otome has her own attributes that exist independently of her Robe. These are reflected here in Personal Characteristics and Educational Development. These are numerical and represent the base dice pools which will inform your character's abilities with a materialised Robe.

'''Personal Characteristics/'''

These are the 'Five Ps', essentially the five most important things for an Otome to have. Due to the nature of society on Arl, everyone in the world uses the Five Ps as a measure of their attributes. They are:

:'''Power//''' A measure of physical strength and vitality. It is not just raw strength, but also the ability to perfectly control one's body to produce maximum force.
:'''Poise//''' A measure of physical grace, dexterity, and posture. Like power, poise is a measure of physical control: if one is poised, they move more quickly.
:'''Perspicacity//''' A measure of intellect. A generic kind of intelligence that encapsulates intuitive reasoning, ability to study and quick wits.
:'''Pluck//''' A measure of personal fortitude. This is 'true grit', the willingness to stand up against adversity and not back down. In an Otome's line of work this can be said to be very critical.
:'''Pizazz//''' A measure of personal charisma and glamour. Those with pizazz are better able to capture hearts and minds, and are cool and elegant under pressure.

'''Educational Development/'''

As all the player characters attend Galleria Academy, they all have a similar education. As such, they all have broadly the same skill set. However, their aptitude in these skills will depend on their Personal Characteristics. As such, all skills in R-SOLAR are derived from attributes. The five skills are:

:'''Butou//''' Hand-to-hand combat in the manner of Otome. While various Otome have developed and varied CQC based on their experience or traditional skills from their homelands, the basic principals are similar. It is derived from Power and Pizazz.
:'''Sen//''' The ability to properly channel the exceptional speed of Otome into evasion: dodging with the greatest economy of movement. It is said that a perfectly executed Sen can dodge anything. It is derived from Pizazz and Poise.
:'''Miryoku//''' The 'beautiful power'. The Z-type nanomachinery in an Otome's body can be used in ways that go beyond simple physical enhancement. Miryoku is the skill in harnessing the esoteric abilities of that machinery. It is derived from Perspicacity and Pluck.
:'''Roku//''' An Otome is capable of producing incredibly strong barriers. Roku is a skill which represents greater efficiency in defense, as well as the ability to deflect and absorb damage. It is derived from Pluck and Power.
:'''Ketsudan//''' The skill of decisiveness: representing an Otome's mental ability to take action quickly. It is the basis for both turn initiative and the number of full actions a character can take in one turn. It is derived from Poise and Perspicacity.

[[File:Eudaimonia.jpg|thumb|500px|Welcome to paradise, traveler.]]

A game which stubbornly refuses to kowtow to mainstream genre designations like 'post-apocalyptic', 'science fantasy', preferring to call itself a work of lighthearted mundane fantastic transhuman space opera inspired more by slice of life and action adventure series than the heady and cerebral titans which have defined the genre. Run by Exhack, if you couldn't guess based on the excessively hipster intro line.

= Premise =

Eudaimonia is a world that was terraformed over the course of thousands of years through concerted effort by a now-defunct human society which at one point had the resources to do so. Its continents are lush and impossibly fertile, weather placid at all times of the year and shallow seas crystal blue and dotted with beautiful little islands and indestructible terraforming stations which are now inhabited by human and transhuman inhabitants which no longer remember their genuine purpose. It is a paradise made by human hands and by human technology, which will likely outlive its creators as the machinery which sustains it will turn until the universe is too large and cold to draw power from.

Although tucked away in some unseeming corner of the universe, it became the battleground of a war between some new agency of humanity calling itself (or perhaps only remembered as) the True Human Empire and a nameless and incomprehensible menace called the Mysterious Starfish Aliens some thousand years ago. The remains of their battles, from weapons of incredible power to the laboratories of ships which surpass even the miracles of the builders of Eudaimonia and other things stranger and more alien can be found all over the planet now.

As a scavenger working the tropical oceans, you live an exciting and glamorous life few of your peers dream of, plying the ruins and entering those uncharted sectors of the world for a few untouched scraps of miraculous technology and making some concerted effort at rediscovering the workings behind them. It's dangerous, messy and downright treacherous sometimes when jobs go sour and friends turn on you, but the sights you see and the things you learn along the way make it all worth it.

To say nothing of all the ''tail''.

= The Setting =

== Eudaimonia ==

Eudaimonia is a oceanic planet dominated by island chains and shallow seas. Its ecology is ostensibly entirely artificial, weather patterns maintained by strange and esoteric machinery left behind by a previous human civilization. The planet is small and possesses a porous core, so gravity is light and more akin to that of Mars than Earth at a low 0.42''g'', while the air is slightly more oxygenated than normal terrestrial environments and contains eukaryotes which induce a very mild euphoria and calm in a majority of the people on the planet (which may actually be a leftover biological weapon deployed by either side of the last war).

As a consequence of planetary conditions, the plant and most animal life is quite ''huge'' and tends to be oceanic. Giant turtles, fish and penguins are common, though many actual megafauna from Earth became tragically extinct and any viable samples lost before the terraforming process on Eudaimonia was finished. Blue whales, tigers, elephants and other large mammals in particular were lost centuries in advance, though they have been re-engineered from extant life and are present on the planet- albeit at reduced sizes and mostly serving as semi-intelligent pets.

=== Settlements ===

Temperate island chains play host to a majority of the most of the 'classic' transhuman population and transhuman castes mostly reliant on infrastructure such as uploads and cyborgs. The style of these cities tends to emulate classic 'coastal' and 'canal' cities such as Singapore and Venice, with essentially wear-proof and non-polutant pseudocrete brick buildings (some thousands of years old) made of materials produced by request from ancient fabricators and dotted with bits of rediscovered 'modern' technology as the current wave of modernization settles in. Some enclaves never quite backslid into complacency as others did and have the hard-edged futuristic look expected of the general level of technology remaining on the planet.

Settlement around the tropics and equator tends to be more piecemeal, as a consequence of the nature of their denizens. Part-animal transgenes or 'splices' tended to adapt better to the heat and moisture of the tropics (in no small part thanks to their apparent lack of nudity taboos), and despite sparse population spread out over the myriad archipelagos actually consist of well over 50% of the planet's population (currently nearing 59%). Splice homesteads tend to be diverse in purpose but tend to be transit stops or tourist destinations that feed into the immense off-world traffic, or give waystations to scavengers and explorers attempting to chart and plunder those few unknown regions of the planet which still remain.

Humanity at large on Eudaimonia is dependent (and perhaps reliant) on getting the materials for consumer goods (and often completed consumer goods as well) from the terraforming equipment left over. Only a few very rare items such as weapons and military-grade bioaugmentation are not available in ubiquitous abundance for nothing, and are considered to have value. Food is common in large part because local fauna and flora are seemingly impossible to deplete and almost universally edible.

Certain negative stereotypes against the splice community based on their unwillingness to produce anything of rarity other than salvage is sometimes levied, as much of their population is content to spend all their time frolicking in the sun, foraging for food and engaging in trade with seagoing people from the cities.

=== Travel ===

Travel on Eudaimonia is almost entirely done by ship, mostly small seagoing vessels with shallow keels. Because of low oceanic depths and sealanes crisscrossed with shoals and reefs, large cargoships with deep keeps are unpopular and essentially liabilities. Bulk transportation of goods (where it occurs at all) is done primarily by massive air-cushioned hovercraft, and mostly for the transport of food and luxury goods with limited geographical spread such as coffee, chocolate and tea which are only viable in certain archipelagos. Submarines and submersible boats, mostly military leftovers from when the THE and MSA warred on the planet, are somewhat popular among scavengers and moreso among pirates- who represent a small risk to the planetary trade network.

Air travel is rarer and done primarily via hybrid airships made of ultralight alloys and buoyed by a combination of ultralight float gasses and aerofoil wings- and essentially act as major status symbols to their owners. Travel through the sky is mostly reserved for the wealthy and powerful and the wealthiest among them have stranger craft, elegant yachts and cruise ships decked with rows of ionofoil sails which bear them into the air without the thrum of moving parts.

Though harder and much less regular means of travel, recovering wrecked drones and re-purposing them into vehicles is a popular passtime among scavengers. Electromagnetic hovertanks left behind by the True Human Empire make great courier vehicles in the archpelagos, and the regenerative glass-winged drones left behind by the Mysterious Starfish Aliens can easily be prized into single or two-person flying vehicles that function similarly to motorcycles.

= Character Generation =

Character generation in Eudaimonia begins with prioritizing five categories for statistics, represented bellow. They are: attributes, skills, implants, backgrounds and equipment. After assigning priorities, characters spend their pool of points to each of the categories until their stats are at the desired levels, matching them to the general concept of their character.

Priority Assignment (First/Second/Third/Fourth/Fifth)
*Attributes: 20/18/17/15/14
*Skills: 18/14/10/6/2
*Implants: 16/12/8/4/0
*Backgrounds: 10/8/6/4/2
*Equipment: 5/4/3/2/1

Finally, each character has 10 finishing points which may be spent on upgrading their characters as they like. Costs are shown bellow.

*Attribute: 5 FP
*Skill: 2 FP
*Implant: 2 FP
*Background: 1 FP (2 FP at 3+)
*Equipment: 4 FP

==Attributes==
Attributes are the basic building blocks of your character, representing the basic abilities and aptitudes of your character which are generally applicable to most situations. More specific skills are developed with skills below.

*'''Power:''' How physically strong and powerful you are.
*'''Grace:''' How good you are at dexterity tasks.
*'''Smarts:''' How quick witted you are.
*'''Knowledge:''' How knowledgeable and good at research you are in general
*'''Charisma:''' How good you are at persuading someone, smoozing and seduction.
*'''Rhetoric:''' How good you are in debates, at winning arguments and swaying a crowd.
*'''Perception:''' How good you are at spotting the unusual.
*'''Integrity:''' How strong willed you are.

Note: Characters begin with 1 point in every attribute spending, and cannot add more than 25% of the points granted by their priority on a single attribute without spending FP.

=== Derived Attributes ===

*'''Willpower''' ([Power + Integrity] x Size), Round Down: Because Eudaimonia is a heroic game versus a gritty one, the combination of mental fortitude and physical health are a single attribute. Gunfire, sharp words and particularly traumatic experiences all weaken a character's resolve and may push them towards defeat, although none is more effective than another. Characters may act normally up until their Willpower reaches 0, at which point they can no longer take hostile actions in a confrontation. This does not necessarily mean death, although having a Willpower track filled entirely with physical damage might suggest that as an outcome.
**NOTE: Social and mental influences are additive to the total a character can take before being defeated, but are largely situational. A character who agrees to a ceasefire or gives out after succumbing to mental exhaustion can react violently when betrayed or roused back to their senses, when similar opportunities might not be available for a decapitated character.
*'''Initiative''' (Grace + Smarts): Roll 1d10 and add this value. The characters with lower values declare actions ''first'' and act on them ''last''.
*'''Speed''' Initiative/4: Especially fast characters can perform more than one action, firing two shots in the blink of an eye or delivering an impassioned speech to the crew of a ship while manning the wheel. The Speed rating of a character is the number of actions they may perform per round. Most characters (and non-named NPCs) probably only have 1.
*'''Protection''' (Power + Grace)/2, Round Down: All characters have a degree of 'armor' against physical attacks without necessarily wearing anything. A failed dodge into cover still puts the shooter's aim off the lethal mark, and bulging muscles can sometimes stop knives. The Protection stat subtracts the total damage dice made against a character when they are the subject of a successful attack.

== Skills ==

Skills are special competencies a character has, representing formal training, higher learning or even more esoteric sources of ability such as skillsoft implants. When relevant to a given roll, a skill adds its rating to the given attribute. In most cases, skills have ratings of 1-3, detailed bellow.

* '''Level 1''' (Ability): Skills rated at 1 give situational bonuses limited in scope. Firearms 1 applies to all conventional applications of firearms, such as pistol-whipping with Power + Firearms or shooting with Grace + Firearms. In effect, these are buffers against receiving penalties from unfamiliarity with a given object or subject.
* '''Level 2''' (Complexity): Skills rated at 2 represent broad knowledge and understanding. Firearms 2 allows a character to repair any weapons they have as if they possessed Gunsmith 1, or make use of weapons which are not exactly firearms such as LAW munitions launchers or artillery. The 'Complexity' tier in effect allows a player to argue for alternate skill applicability at a 1-dice penalty in the absence of relevant skills.
* '''Level 3''' (Mastery): Skills rated at 3 represent the apex of human understanding and skill. Level 3 works identically to all lower levels, save that a character may also choose a specialization relevant to their skill that applies an additional +1 bonus in its purview such as Firearms (Pistols), Firearms (Disarming) or Firearms (Creating Obstacles in a Chase Scene).

Skills of 4 and higher are possible in only rare cases such as those individuals with hyperskill implants.

== Implants ==

[[Eudaimonia_Implants]]

== Backgrounds ==

Backgrounds effectively function as social and economic 'equipment', protecting the character from certain hazards and affording them more options than normal. They represent their origins, history and those friends they've made along the way to meeting the group.

In general gameplay terms, they offer their rating as a bonus to relevant rolls such as using Contacts to enhance an investigation of a scenario or Resources to secure the rental of a boat. They may also offer other options, as detailed bellow.

* '''Allies:''' Allies are effectively realized NPCs with their own histories, motivations and agendas separate of the character who occasionally go out of their way to help them. Allies range from less-skilled subordinates (1 dot), to characters about equal with the characters (3 dot) to seasoned mentors (5 dots). The nature of the character and the relationship they have to the character must be chosen at selection of this background.
* '''Backup:''' Backup is a lesser form of allies that grants a character the support of multiple weaker characters instead of a single skilled one. These are mooks, maids or regular people willing to lend you a roof and a bed, but often little else. These range from a single person (1 dot) to a dozen (3 dots) to well over a hundred people willing to put their safety (but perhaps not lives) on the line for you (5 dots).
* '''Contacts:''' Contacts are distant relations who are less reliable than Backup but generally better informed, and offer a good resource for new jobs or tidbits of information of a specific sort. Contacts range from a single person (1 dot) to dozens (3 dots) to hundreds of contacts in a worldwide information network such as an academic circle or secret society (5 dots).
* '''Fame/Reputation:''' Fame and Reputation work basically identically, save that Fame is largely regional while Reputation is specific to a social circle, such as mercenaries, bankers, academics, etc. From being a local celebrity (1 dot), to an already regionally famous archeologist (3 dot) or internationally infamous black market fixer (5 dots), these backgrounds may help or hinder at times.
* '''Resources:''' Not everyone who wanders the world is broke. Some people keep busy and moonlight as couriers to make a little extra money (1 dot), own an apartment in some nice district in Farnese (3 dots) or are fabulously rich and could dawdle and romp in their skyboats all day long, ''basically forever''(5 dots).
* '''Sanctum:''' Sanctums are safe places for characters or bases of operation. A quiet apartment room that you asked to have taken off the floorplan and have under electric concealment is nice (1 dot), and an innocuous-looking ex-fishing trawler might be the mobile command center of choice for a band of bounty hunters (3 dots). For those who absolutely must keep things secretive and luxurious, an elaborate underground complex beneath a palatial manor is possible but expensive (5 dots).

== Equipment ==

Equipment represents a character's personal gear, things they're attached to and have built up history alongside. Depending on priority during character generation, a player receives a certain amount of these items equal to their equipment value.

Equipment obtained through this value is unique in that it is a) customized unlike the bog-standard equipment most enemies will have and b) protected from plot-based degradation. Weapons borrowed from enemies tend to jam after firing a few magazines, vehicles break down or have problematic tracking beacons and borrowed armor tends to be dramatically destroyed by gunfire or abandoned when necessary.

The youngest son of the Freebird banking clan that manages the finances of the well-to-do Farnesian gentry. Previously a student of archaeology at the foremost university in Farnese, his formative years were spent making trouble: clambering all over the architecture for night time liaisons with the daughters (and the occasional pretty son) of nobility and beating up their elder brothers when necessary. Unable to complete his degree due to various circumstances, not least of all angering the Doge of Farnese himself, Holland escaped the city on board the scavenger boat ''The Other Woman'' and made that his career in the Adriatic Archipelago. An adventurer for hire looking for adventure.

The Garden's flower-girls and flower-boys are widely considered as exceptionally elegant, carefully schooled in what our considered the most important refined arts in dynastic society: fan-dancing, singing, poetry, philosophy, even the proper service of tea and how to play a decent game of Gateway. To be attended by a single courtesan within the Garden is to spend a small fortune in jade before taking into account any of the various delicacies on offer (and the Garden offers many); if a patron wishes to purchase a more intimate encounter with their attendant, they can expect to pay double or triple, or more still if their tastes run to the unusual. To hold an accomplished flower-boy on retainer is an incredible extravagance but alluring nonetheless due to the social prestige suggested - for only the most well-connected are able to convince the rulers of that little universe to leave a precious asset in their care. Patrician families have been beggared due to the allure of the Heavenly Garden's excess, and so it is unfathomably wealthy.

But from the outside looking in, one must wonder exactly how what is, floating jade pavilions and extravagance aside, a large tea house which offers sex for dessert such a well-connected and powerful institution. Rumours abound as to what secrets the executives of the Garden possess and what influence they wield, and regardless of the truth of the matter it remains that even an 800 year old tea house which has received the patronage of the Scarlet Empress could never have amassed the power it has. Except for one factor: The Heavenly Garden of Earthly Delights employs Dragon-Blooded courtesans, if not uniquely within the Realm then certainly uniquely in its institutionalisation. These exceptional, partly-divine flower-girls and flower-boys (poetically referred to as dragon pearls, probably in reference to their almost universal tongue-piercings) trained in much the same way as any Dynast, represent oft-wandering creators of wealth. Some satrap's court will scrape every stray obol from its treasury to attract the attention of a Terrestrial courtesan for a few days, but it is not these mundane duties which produces the Garden's power: it is ''breeding''.

It is common fact that blood is the defining influence on a Terrestrial Exaltation: the purer the blood, the greater the chance. The Garden prides itself on how thickly the blood of the Immaculate Dragons flows through the veins and arteries of its precious pearls. The Garden is constantly on the look-out for lost eggs of unlikely blood-purity to quietly insinuate into their circle and bring some new variation to a deeply incestuous organisation. While an element of this is to ensure the continued existence of its institution, the true wealth is in siring children on the wives and daughters of nobility - mortal or Dragon-Blood. Though an Exaltation can never be guaranteed, the Garden can at least significantly improve the chances that a given child will be chosen, and that is a service which is almost priceless.

Among these pearls there are a tiny handful which stand out amongst the rest, and one who stands ahead even among those: Flawless Dream of Vermilion Summer and Infinite Platinum Heavens. Though young, he has built his name from humble beginnings to become one of the most desirable boy-toys in all the Realm. in addition to his incredible physical beauty, his blood is ''immaculate''. The blood of the Dragons runs so pure in his body that even other Terrestrial Exalts of high breeding are impressed: so pure that even the slowest of mortals can typically tell at a glance that Summer is an Exalt. Like all flower-boys he is a consummate entertainer, and will happily attend to either gender, though even relative to other sons and daughters of Hesiesh his passions run hot. Though the Heavenly Garden finds him difficult to control, he is a definite money maker: though not many of his many, many, many offspring have reached the right age, some have and they have been Exalting at an incredible rate. For that circle which manages the Garden, the boy who was once merely 'Dream of Summer' has been an auspicious addition.

However, some harbour misgivings. Even the minimal, shallow palmistry practiced as a hobby by bored flower-girls suggests some terrifying fate, though even professional astrologers are not able to unravel what that fate is. They recall how the boy arrived, swaddled and in the arms of some adamantine shadow which spoke as though she possessed the authority of Heaven and who commanded that the boy be schooled and for his name to never be uttered and never recorded but instead remembered until the appointed time. Further, the boy has become aware of the existence of this fate, which he refers to as his 'destiny'. Though he claims otherwise, it is plain that his wanderings in recent months have been less about plying the upper crust of the Threshold and more about finding his destiny, the 'genesis of my Trastrium', whatever that means.

Summer is a living investment for the Heavenly Garden, but some feel that he may rapidly become a liability and that perfumed harem is known for many things but none of them mercy.

==People==

:'''Mentor//''' ●●●
:'''//'''Childlike Virtue is the Sideral Exalt who found Summer when he was newly born, and she was the one who delivered him to the Heavenly Garden. Over the years she has been variously vague, arbitrary and a real tease, but there have definitely been moments in Summer's life where he knew he owed his success to her intervention. More recently she's been willing to give him tips and tricks which are actually useful - something Summer is very quietly grateful for, because as far as he can tell the Chosen of Serenity is thirty or forty times his age and roughly ten million times more experienced in pretty much everything.

:'''Retainers//''' ●●
:'''//'''Like most dragon-pearls, Summer has a small staff which attends to his various material needs. They are collectively referred to as 'the Vermilion Circle', and Summer will proudly refer to them as 'the foundation of the Trastrium' (not that they really know what that means). They include his ridiculously impeccable valet Sebasis, his long-suffering accountant Mithra, his demure maid/apprentice (mostly the former) Pale Lily, his gourmet but rough-around-the-edges chef Godon and his bodyguard who is totally a female Guts, the wandering Lion.

==Metaphysics==

:'''Destiny//''' ●●●●●
:'''//'''At his first fortune reading, Summer gave the astrologist a heart attack. More expensive astrologists have managed only stunned silence. The one time he asked Childlike Virtue about it, she tried to construct a metaphor involving a weaver's loom, but said it didn't really convey the scale.

:'''Manse//''' ●●●●
:'''//'''The Heavenly Garden of Earthly Delights isn't just a tea house full of magic prostitutes, it's actually a magic tea house, too. Strictly speaking the Manse actually personally belongs to the Scarlet Empress and has been 'on loan' for several centuries. Since her disappearance it has been held on trust by Regent Fokuf, which is worrying one day (because Fokuf is useless and could be convinced to take it back) and pleasing the next (because so far no one has been stupid enough to start messing with Empress' personal possessions). Most of its geomantic structure is tied up in the literal garden, but also in the placement of the various floating pavilions, and the geometries of the central building. Its hearthstone is the ''Pearl of Transcendent Grace'' (as Stone of Inhuman Beauty), a seemingly flawless, iridescent black pearl which is more valuable than all the cosmetics in Creation and most coveted prize for servants of the Garden. As Summer is the Garden's most accomplished and beautiful flower-boy, he was been entrusted with it.

:Summer has also been granted a pair of lesser hearthstones belonging to a pair of particularly infatuated Dynasts: the ''Gem of Seduction'' and the ''Prism of Focused Passion''.

:'''Artefact//''' ●●
:'''//'''Summer has a bunch of Jade jewelery for setting his hearthstones in: his Jade tongue piercing for setting the Pearl of Transcendent Grace, a Jade dragon circling his throat for setting the Gem of Seduction and a pair of Jade dragons around his wrists (hearthstone bracers) for setting the Prism of Focused Passion.
