Crystal Ambitions is set in a world where magic crystals were discovered at the dawn of the 20th century, causing a world conflict that spanned several decades...decades later the mysteries of the crystals continue to be slowly unravelled.
Inspirations: Final Fantasy, Mai-Otome, SDs
Setting
General Overview
The world is a vibrant place, though shadowed by the looming tensions between powers that continue to exploit the magical abilities of the Crystals. Kefkan culture remains dominant, the centre of learning, power and cultural output, the leading lights of the Continent are the Selda Constitutional Imperium, the Zhrina Corporate Republic.
Broadly, Kefkans are welcoming, progressive, secular and human dominant. Perhaps unfairly, the human affinity for magic has gifted them considerable power, much to the chagrin of traditionally powerful races.
Crystal based technoloical magic has shifted the world to a futuristic era of flying cities, automation and profound social progress. This all belies a undercurrent of political tension and greed, as dictator Kings and corrupt democracies square off against reluctant autocrats and free societies across the world.
It has also become increasingly clear that the history of the planet is not it's first, prehistorical technology has been discovered, far in advance of current capabilities. The presence of what is now known as 'Prehistoric Era' technology is heavily linked to Crystallium. Dotted across the planet and rumoured to be in orbit of it, are facilities of considerable age constructed at some point in the past and lost through either one, or several regressions of civilization.

Grande War
The Grande War was a series of conflicts, that merged into a singular period of continual warfare. The vast economic, scientific and military power of Crystals proved to be a catalyst for the greed of many. The Crystal Compact was signed and one of the most advanced nations in the world the Thrusian Axis, launched itself at it's neighbours in a war for power. Soon after, the United Powers League was formed, as was the Co-Prosperity Sphere.
Coincident with this was the development of Aspects, the ability to implant the Crystals into humans to create poweful weapons of war. This development vastly exacerbated the destructive forces of the conflict. Most nations were touched by the war, either invaded, invaders or neutral profiteers.
United Powers League
The 'free' nations of the world, who while seeking to benefit from Aspects, did so in the name of democracy and fair usage of the technology. Lead by the Seldan Imperium and Zhrina Corporate Republic.
The Crystal Compact
The pioneers of early Crystal technology, this small band of nations used it to smash apart their more powerful neighbours and create a dictatorial empire in the span of a few short months. The Principle nations were the Thrusian Axis and it's two allies, the Union of Filbara and the Principality of Dukas. Thrusian Aspects remain the most powerful ever seen, though the secret their sheer power is lost.
Co-Prosperity Sphere
A regional alliance of nations of similar ethnic and cultural backgrounds, favouring neither the Crystal Compact, or the UPL. The leading light of the Sphere was the Kingdom of Zhogunkai.
Two of these Alliances were ultimately shattered in the waning days of the war, the Crystal Compact was crumbling and the Seldans and Zhrina came to blows over the Aspect technology lurking in the laboraties of the Thrusian Axis. During the midst of this fighting over scraps, Ifriti happened.
The Ifriti Incident ended the wars, it was a massacre of 12 million people by bezerk Aspects, unleashed during fighting between Seldan and Zhrina special forces in a underground laboratory complex. They accidently deiced the four Aspects who were minutes from going bezerk. Unleashed they fled south to the nation of Ifriti, liberated by the Seldans just weeks before. The Aspects killed everything, soldiers, civilians, men, women, children, entire towns blasted away with a power no aspect had ever managed to unleash before. In 48 hours, there were less than a million still alive in the nation of Ifriti, the last major loss of life occurred as the Aspects exploded as they rampaged through it's southern cities. Four massive releases of energy measured in megatons.
The Ifriti Protocols were signed soon after, restricting the use of Aspects and ending the wars.
The Infriti Protocol
Point One: Restoration of peace and a commission for the recognition of sovereign borders.
Point Two: 'Prehistorical Era' Technological Scavenging must be regulated and controlled internationally, for the benefit of all.
Point Three: All Aspects must be certified at the Bahamut Academy to ensure genetic compatibility with the Crystals.
Postwar Period
The Postwar period has seen the developed of several major power blocs and an uneasy peace exists amongst them.
Allied Powers Union
Faction Leader: Seldan Imperium
Faction Ethos: 'Freedom' and Moe
Alliance of democratic states, mostly constitutional monarchies.
Global Trade League
Faction Leader: Zhrina Corporate Republic
Faction Ethos: Gil.
Alliance of highly capitalist states, subservient to the Zhinra Corporate Republic
Co-Prosperity Sphere Faction Leader: Zhogunkai Faction Ethos: Solidarity! Union of regional states in the southeast of Kefka.
Sovereign State Compact
Faction Leader: None
Faction Ethos: Independance!
The rising powers of the World, the Sovereign State Compact is a threadbare association of highly independent states that emerged from the bloodshed of the Grande War. While some have sympathies to either the APU, GTL or CPS they are nevertheless not tied into any formal arrangements.
Paradigm
Magical/magitech near future.
The Crystals
Crystals are dense clusters of exotic matter, usually in the region of 10 to fifteen meters tall. They emit a form of localised emission known as a null-space field, in which physical laws can be manipulated using electrical signals. This has lead to a form of 'magic' in which electrical circuits are used to reprogramme local physics and in the case of Aspects, human brains are used to do this on a much larger scale.
Crystals often have a primary Aspect and a secondary Aspect.
Black Crystals
Black Crystals display the most raw magical power, providing powerful personal magics.
Primary Aspect: Personal Magic, Artillery Knight Discipline
Secondary Aspect: Materia Production
Red Crystals
Red Crystals have shown a bias towards the melding of magic and technology. Red Crystals seem preprogrammed, each facet reflecting a complex digital pattern.
Primary Aspect: Personal Weaponry, Avatar Knight Discipline
Secondary Aspect: Technomagical Devices
Blue Crystals
Blue Crystals are a path into the magical world, through which magical and magitech summons can be 'requested'. Blue Crystals are known for ghostly mirages in their crystal facets.
Primary Aspect: Summoning, Esper Knight Discipline
Secondary Aspect: Draft Crap?/more wealth
Green Crystals
Green Crystals are the most dangerous of all, the mutagenic effects of Crystals is most potent in Green.
Primary Aspect: Genetic Enchancement, Monster Knight Discipline
Secondary Aspect: +Beasts
Aspect Soldier
Aspect soldiers are capable of directly using magic and this is most prominently manifested in their Avatar. Avatar's are manifestations of will that result as magitech armour and weaponry. The creation requires dedicated meditation and training, most militaries will direct their Aspect Soldiers to manifest specific armour and weaponry, in order to maintain a unified and disciplined cadre of Aspect Soldiers. The Zhinra Corporate Republic Aspects for example maintain futuristic black and gold power armour, with large oversized gauss rifle weaponry.
Aspect Soldiers are the pinnacle of Crystalium technology, most materia are worn as bracelets, or embedded into weaponry or armour, Aspect Soldiers have a core of Crystalium directly implanted into their body, usually the forehead directly connecting to the brain, or in some cases, an eye socket. This allows the Crystallium to use the electrical signals of the brain in order to rewrite physical laws. Not everyone can be a Aspect soldier, certain genetic abnormalities are required in order to create a stable Aspect.
As it is easier to manipulate inorganic matter for most Aspects, the majority of them use varying amounts of cybernetics.
Aspect Soldiers are subject to international treaty and limits. In order to train a candidate for the process, they must first attend the Bahamut Aspect Certification Academy.
Disciplines
All aspect warriors gain aspect to several powers simply by being infused. All are stronger, faster, and more resilient than normal people, all can heal faster, and all have innate ability to conjure and control material. However, devoting time to refining their different abilities gives Aspects access to potent applications of their power.
Artillery Knight: Are those who develop their Aspect with personal magic, focusing on developing battlefield spells to support their allies and ravage their enemies. While not devoted to personal combat, they are capable with swords and other close combat weaponry, as befits their extensive magical abilities.
Avatar Knights: This term refers to those Aspects who focus their Avatars into personal armour. They also hone their physical augmentations, strengthening and fortifying themselves to superhuman degrees. Many develop build-in weapons and other systems into their constructs, and greater Knights increase the Avatar’s size to become giant war machines. Many of them are supernaturally strong, capable of bounding across battlefields or dodging bullets.
Esper Knight: These practicioners devote themselves to the magical aspects of their Aspect, training their minds to summon entities. Most project their Avatar outward as a separate entity, forming it into fantastic creatures or vehicles that they conjure to fight for them.
Monster Knight: The darkest of the types, these Knights focus on modifying their body, shapeshifting, genetic mutations and controlling monsterous creatures.
Bahamut Academy
The Bahamut International Aspect Academy is the instructive body and certification authority for Aspects. It is a floating fortress located over neutral oceanic territory. It is supported by a foundation grant that allows it operational independence.
The Bahamut Academy is a large white circular floating fortress, with a glowing levitation ring. It has a concentric structure and in some ways, resembles a futuristic castle. It has multiple docks for other airships, aeroplanes. It also has considerable defences.
(It could basically be designed as the SeeD Academy in FF8, but with more anime tropes)
Bahamut Education
Bahamut instruction begins at highschool age, 12 and is completed as a series of modules, there is a central curriculum which is then supplemented by national classes restricted to Aspects of a particular nation and possibly it's allies.
Classes consist of both a standard international curriculum in traditional education and the Aspect Curriculum. Education begins at 8am and finishes at 5pm. National mixing is encouraged at all levels of both education and social interaction. Club activity is mandatory. The Academy is obviously, a boarding school and accommodation is provided, with every Aspect provided their own room with secure communications.
There are three broad stages, initial psych evaluation in which students are instructed in developing the mental stamina required, this lasts from 12-14 and ends with a psychological evaluation.
Upon successful certification Aspects progress to the next two year long stage, which is primarily national in nature, Aspectee's are instructed in a variety of combat, covert and other military skills, a intensive two year period also includes preliminary instruction of Aspect combat techniques.
The Final stage, at age 16 is the implantation of the Aspect Crystal and final certification. Aspects are then assigned to their respective nations to undergo a typical 18 month programme of training.

Kefka
The Continent of Kefka is a large landmass, recently glaciated it is a land of valleys, mountains and vast grassland plains. To the east, the desert mountains rise, separating the lands of the east from those of the west by anything but vehicles. Most of the major old civilizations call Kefka home and some newer powers are born from colonial powers that reside here.
West Kefka
Western Kefka is the birthplace of modern democracy and classical civilization and is home to both humans and moogles. It's gentle climate and strategic location in the world have benefited the regions nations for centuries.
Central Kefka
The Northern reaches of Central Kefka are thick icy tundra, with a almost permanently frozen sea. As one descends the climate eases rapidly into a temperature zone with thick forests dominating the centre of the region. The South is cooled by the warm almost tropical sea that divides it from South Kefka. Central Kefka was at the heart of the Grande War, as the Crystal Compact nations called the southern regions home, from which they sprung attacks in all directions.
South Kefka
The darker skinned deizens of South Kefka share the landmass with many of the non-human races of the world. The region is a mixture of desert and fertile flood plains mixed with jungles, making Southern Kefka one of the most geographically diverse landmasses on the planet. It boasts a massive mixture of cultures and nations.
East Kefka
A rugged territory, East Kefka is dominated by the worlds largest mountain ranges before easing into a low wide expanse of rivers ,floodplains and bamboo forests.
Quite distinct from Central Kefka, the cultures of this eastern region are mostly formed into a single political union known as the Co-Prosperity Sphere. Some of them are ancient, tracing a continuous line of civilization back thousands of years.
Gestahl
South of Kefka, Gestahl is a collection of large floating artificial landmass, above a series of islands and long expansive lagoon and reef systems. Gestahl's appearance was one of the catalysts of the grand war. A vast new land of clearly artificial construction, it was a dazzling gem in the sky, that spoke directly to the greed in men's hearts.
Jecht
The distant land of Jecht is viewed with some mystery, even in modern times. Discovered by Kefkan Explorers around four hundred years ago, this western continent has had limited colonization along the northern and eastern coasts. The continent is unusually warm considering it's position, consisting primarily savannah, breaking off into temperate rainforests at the north and into a harsh spot of badlands in the southwest. Dangerous wildlife teems in its reaches, made all the more dangerous by untapped quantities of Crystalium resting amid its grasses. This has lead to the sparsity of it's population and continued difficultly in taming.
Nations of the World
The nation states of the world are diverse, from the giants of the Selda Imperium, to the city state of Morgov.
Races
Every PC nation must be humanity majority, 51% or more. This doesn't translate into human's ruling the nation however, just that they are the most populous. Non-humans grant no bonus's or negatives, for instance, moogle usually wear power suits in order to function as well as human soldiers and Vitare's flying ability is not militarily useful in the modern era.
Humans
You're human. Shut up.
Vitare
These beautiful, winged individuals are the primary residents of the floating landmasses in the east of South Kefka, where they once built a great empire upon these flying rocks. Their empire is long gone, collapsed due to its insular nature and vicious infighting, but they still maintain several cities on the flying island of Ascend and on other smaller sky islands. Most of these cities are shared with humans; either descendants of former slaves (who often now rule the ancient settlements) or recent immigrants looking to live in the clouds.
Vitare are light-boned humanoids with slender limbs and long, talon-like fingers. They have human faces and features, though their ‘hair’ is actually crests of feathers, which merge with their wings. While capable of flight on their own, they’re only about as fast as a bird. With modern crystal technology, they sheathe them in crystal-lined fins that allow them to hover and fly at considerable speeds.
Mitare
An offshoot of Vitare, these feathery beings look nearly identical to their airborne cousins, except that they have wings of only a foot long. Therefore, they cannot fly under their own power, and have been traditionally ignored by their airborne cousins. The advent of crystal technology allows them to use wing-sheathes, much like their other cousins, but these are expensive and are mostly used for military and exploration purposes.
Mitare are known for training chocobos, and often can be seen herding the creatures along the plains of their homelands to new grazing pastures. Many Mitare are trained riders, and breed all colours and types of the bird. The most prized are the flight-capable black chocobo, which allow them to circumvent their vestigal wings without resorting to expensive crystal-pinons.
Djinnae
The physical features of a Djinnae are unknown to most, due to their cultural dress. Every member wears some form of full-body cloak or robe, along with gloved hands and a mask or hood of some kind. Their clothes are often decorated with multiple knick-knacks and are sewn together with seemingly-random fabrics. They’re shorter than most people, and their limbs seem longer than normal for humans. Beneath their robes, they resemble human-sized monkeys, covered in brown hair, but with human faces and hands, and no tail.
Djinnae are keen-minded and have a love for technology and exploration. Many are scavengers or merchants, finding deposits of crystals or lost treasures and selling them in cities. They also work as craftsmen, producing various goods for sale to others. They’re quite communal, and many richer ones have the company of the Marione, their own creations. They’re particularly fond of crystals, and many great alchemists or magicians are Djinnae.
Marione
Created by the Djinnae as servants, these beings look like fleshy marionettes, complete with segmented joints and near-featureless faces. Their mouths are barely slits in their face, and they seem to have no eyes (though they see fine, as their ocular organs can see through the skin around their face). Designed as labourers and bodyguards, these beings are extremely quick and dexterous, capable of great precision. They also learn quickly, picking up tasks by rote.
Marione are not entirely sentient when first created, most quickly develop sentience. Upon discovering this, Djinnae treat them as servants and employees rather than slaves, paying them for their work. Many are used as crafters and haulers, or to guard their masters; most have remained as such. They are loyal and straightforward, but very quick to learn and adapt. The Djinnae have given the Marione the process used to create them, allowing them to ‘birth’ new members of the species.
Gargoyles
These stony-skinned creatures are the natural product of crystal buildup, stone animated by material growth and given life. No two gargoyles are alike, but most are animalistic forms, hybrids of seemingly-random creatures. Most are incredibly strong and resilient, though they’re often a bit lumbering (this is not always the case). They have no uniform size; some are truly gigantic.
Only a few gargoyles are sentient, but those that are tend to be predatory and domineering. They often lead hordes of gargoyles to attack nearby villages, and take the crystal sources as their own.
Sergia
These hulking, hairy figures live in forested and swampy regions, forming tribes and fighting territory wars. Standing seven to nine feet in height, they’re notable by their obscured faces and fur-like coats of hair. Fiercely secretive and territorial, they often keep to themselves and resist attempts to colonize their forests. Still, some become mercenaries and travel (notable exiles).
Ferran
These Jecht natives are most known for their unique diet – in addition to human food, these humans can feed on certain metals. This is not a natural evolution, but rather a byproduct of prolonged exposure to Materia. A Ferran who comes into contact with iron, copper, or gold finds the metal bonding to his skin, slowly absorbed into his flesh like ice melting. This process is involuntary, painful, and extremely intoxicating, making it every difficult to stop when it has begun. It can also be addicting; Ferrans have a semi-deserved reputation amongst colonists as thieves and bandits.
Ferrans resemble dark-skinned humans, much like most of the natives of Jecht. However, the marks of their diet are present in blotches and protrusions of metal in their bodies, skin transformed into a strange, living alloy. The texture and colouration depends on the absorbed metal, and is a mixture of hybrid tissue and actual metal. Ferrans do not age unless utterly deprived of metal from birth; if killed, soft tissue quickly rots and hybrid flesh coalesces into true metal, leaving their skeleton and growths behind. Many Ferrans also have traces of Materia in them (almost always black, but occasionally red or green); rare members develop natural Crystalium cores in the center of their torsos, granting them innate (and untrained) magical power. Many develop strange transformations resembling natural magitech, granting them strange and useful abilities. Ferran’s need for other food and water is much less than most humans, and is eventually eliminated altogether.
Ferrans originate from the central and southern mountains of Jecht, but have migrated north into the jungles or into the deserts. They tend to eschew company of other humans, mistrusting them and causing conflicts due to their hunger for metal and tempting appeal to greedy men.
Moogles
Standing at about thee feet tall (without ears), Moogles are furry, rabbit-like humanoids with long ears and tiny vestigial bat-wings. Their fur ranges from white to dark grey, with rare members having colorations such as red. Despite their stubby limbs, they can be quite nimble.
Moogles are originally 'native' to Kefka’s western grasslands, but have spread through the continent and to others. Curious and perpetually wide-eyed, many travel if they can, take up in other nations. They are nearly universally loved by most civilized races, and many nations sport Moogle populations.
Chocobos
These chicken-like birds wander the Kefkan plains in great herds, feeding on grass and other plants. Large enough to carry two riders comfortably, these intelligent animals are often used as mounts by sentient races. Most are flightless, though a few varieties are capable of sustained flight. Chocobos are strong and nimble, and can carry heavy loads with surprising stamina. They can be easily trained for domestic or war-time uses.
Two natural breeds of Chocobos exist: Yellow Chocobos are the most common. Black Chocobos live near hilly or mountainous areas, and have functional wings that are strong enough to carry riders – these have been exported to Gestahl by the Vitare, and are also cultivated by the flightless Mitare. In addition to these, exposure to crystalium can lead to different-coloured breeds, with unique and often magical traits. Control and cultivation of such traits is an immensely prized science.
Chocobo are one of the planet's truely native species, as far as can be determined.
