setting:

Cier is a continent where Dojo Duels take place and other past events. It has several areas with its own seasons.

In Cier:

Northern hemisphere (west to east) - ruins of somnus (inside a clouded area known as the veil), micfortress domains, navian isles (further north), lumaura sanctuary (island), neira (containing crystal taiga, and neiran mountains), kaihon (under neira)

Northern hemisphere (further details) - towards the east, it becomes colder.

Equator (west to east) - raiterian rainforest (containing valley of raitera), magdurus mountains, coquo desert, bahp region, the dojo, aegis fields, eternum coast

southern hemisphere - aetherian isles, southwestern states, dead forest, magmus isles (connecting to) magnus ridge.

southern hemisphere (further details) - towards the east, it gets warmer.

southern hemisphere/dead forest/shadowhold:

A shattered mountain rising from the midst of decay; a heart of darkness, the primordial birthplace of evil. The Shadow Hold contains within its bowels a vast horrific well of cosmic insanity; a blighted, fallowed womb from which eldritch monsters and nightmarish horrors emerge. What little is known of its existence dates back to the earliest beginnings of civilization, perhaps even further.

There exist myths and tales of its creation; scarce whispers that tell of an ancient war, eons before the dawn of man. One so devastating it tore the world asunder and ripped the heavens in twain. If the myths are to be believed, in the waning days of the conflict, it is said a divine star tore across the sky; fracturing the heart of the eastern continent. And it is said that from the ashes and cinders, rose the manifestation of all worldly sin.

But in truth, no one knows anything except for the destruction it has wrought upon this world. The root of all evil; A malevolent, festering tumor of unholy energies, spewing monstrosities and corruption, both malignant and vile.

Geography

A barren, hollowed mountain deep within the Dead Forest, none could mistake the Shadow Hold for anything else but evil incarnate. It is whispered that an ancient explosion decimated the area, tearing ravines into its northwestern edge. From deep within the cavity comes a mysterious unworldly glow, emanating from the cavernous depths that reach into the heart of the world. Like the forest that surrounds it, the Shadow Hold is suffocated by ashen clouds of miasmic rot, shrouding the region in an impassable darkness. The jagged spikes protruding from the mountain’s weathered face make the region aggressively hostile to inhabit and traverse, assuming the monsters don’t kill you first.

Architecture

Despite the hardest expeditionary efforts of several factions, any assault or siege mounted upon the Shadow Hold is swiftly slaughtered and swallowed before the first charge can be ordered or even the first foundation laid. Akin to a corpse in a coffin, those that try are dead before they can hammer the first nail.

Technology, Wealth, & RICE

The enigma that is the Shadow Hold has piqued the interest of more than a few scholars over the many eons of its existence; with its unknowability and terror finding its way into many several stories and philosophies both ancient and modern. Philosophers have been known to use the supposed mountain as a symbol for death, time and the unknown, using it to reflect and contemplate upon the nature of curiosity, mortality and inevitability.

But in regard to its physical, less hypothetical study, little of the Shadow Hold’s properties have been confirmed as of yet. The braver of the curious never return; however, some have been able to find vague and cryptic anecdotal and written evidence. Each unreliable account describes a sensation as if time and space were shifting and folding in on itself when standing in its proximity. A feeling as though reality were tearing itself apart and being remade, the magnitude of which is described to worsen as one approaches the mountain.

Though the Shadow Hold remains shrouded in mystery, there have been multiple hypotheses that the mountain contains an extra dimensional rift that expunges vast quantities of quantum energy; capable of manipulating the fabric of reality. Many proposals to harness this exotic resource have been put forth, all of which have been shot down purely based on their absurd and hazardous nature.

History

The Shadow Hold was not always a monument of darkness residing over the Dead Forest. The first domino in this hellish sequence of events began centuries ago, during the ancient war of Cier between the Somnians and Seraphists. As a last ditch, the Somnians fired a weapon that missed mark, landing in the mountain ranges of south-eastern Cier. This failed weapon lay dormant in the mountainside for centuries before it brewed into a problem for the local Kaihonese. It’s fallout caused major ecological changes, causing the landscape around to warp, eventually turning into the Dead Forest. Monsters of pure darkness and shadow spewed from the dimensional tear, causing havoc to the southern territories of the Kaihon Empire, causing its inhabitants to retreat north back towards the capital.

None are exempt from the consequence of sin, nor the folly conflict; not even self-proclaimed gods. The obscure scraps of myths and tales regard the ancient Seraph Somniatic war with varied praise and condemnation. But what cannot be denied is how this conflict has marred the face of Cier. Little is known of how the Shadow Hold came to be, the academically inclined hypothesising it was the result of a Somniam weapon tearing a rift into the fabric of reality itself. Regardless however, the mountain stands as an eternal, ominous monument to the consequence of hubris and desperation. A malignant tumor that has ruined kingdoms and given rise to pestilent expanse that is the Dead Forest.

southern hemisphere/southwestern states/blackwatch:

In the stillness of dawn, silence is broken by the sudden spark of awakening machinery, howling and hissing as the gears stress and buckle. Gumboots splash through dirty puddles as workers carry sacks of coal to feed the machine. Industry is set in motion. Blackwatch is one of the largest and arguably most influential factions in Cier, exerting its political agenda with both industrial and military might. As a result of their industrial prosperity and ravenous appetite for resources, Blackwatch has resorted to expansionist ideals to sustain their forges and factories, employing their substantial workforce to fuel their restless war-machine. However, this is not to the dissension of the local populace. Stemming from their internal pride and nationalism, the citizens of Blackwatch work tirelessly for the good of their country, empowering their nation at an often personal cost.

Geography

Blackwatch’s geography has been altered by man in its entirety. Instead of rolling hills, Blackwatch has monolithic architecture. Instead of a jungle of lush trees and vines, it’s a jungle of concrete and wires. The geography is near non-existent save for the occasional incline, pothole, or slope, as the majority of the land has been pressed flat by machinery for ease of construction. The last bit of true nature is the mountain range in the northern borders, where Blackwatch mines the majority of its resources. However, even this has been touched by man as smokestacks and pollution create a visually bleak mountain range, dotted with mining equipment and workers.

Architecture

Early Blackwatch architecture resembled defensive structures, as Blackwatch was originally a “last stand” fortress. When it was obvious that Blackwatch would not have to fulfill such a role, they began expanding as a civilization, manifesting their destiny in a way. Structures in the early days of the expansion were incredibly numerous and built in haste, as the state believed that building upon the land “claimed” it. The infrastructure improved as Blackwatch expanded, becoming more experienced in creating sturdy, uniform structures.

Early architecture near the capital has had numerous restoration and expansion attempts, reinforcing and adding to the aging stone defensive structures. Older, more rudimentary systems were implemented in the most cost effective way, prioritizing function over looks, meaning wires and metal beams haphazardly stretch between metallic scaffolds lining the walls of buildings.

Later architecture could be described as “Eastern Bloc.” Monolithic in nature and utilitarian through and through; the rough and dull exterior is exceptionally sturdy, but bland as modern Blackwatch architecture as a whole prioritizes function over form. This can be seen around the northern borders, as these areas were of the last installments of Blackwatch’s expansionism.

Technology / Wealth / RICE

Blackwatch has by far, the most widespread use of technology. They have mastered the development, usage, and distribution of analog technologies and have gotten it down to a science. Throughout history, they claim ownership of various notable technologies such as steam power, hot air balloons, conventional firearms, and were even able to reverse engineer Aetherian technology. While Blackwatch’s previous doctrine could be described as “make it good enough, multiple times” in that they focused more so on quantity rather than quality, the production of equipment under contract and funding from the Cierian Protection Front allowed the manufacturing of both quality and quantity devices and equipment.

Wealth trickles down occasionally in Blackwatch, with government bodies, political figures, corporation owners, and defense contractors seeing much of the wealth, every so often passing it down to workers. Every so often, RICE is given to corporations to then hand out to important, essential, hard workers who can boost the company’s productivity, such as a Research and Developer or a Factory worker.

People and Culture

The people and culture of Blackwatch are heavily indoctrinated, they are led to believe that endless hard work earns merit, and that every factory built, every piece of equipment created, benefits the state in the end. They are told from the beginning that magic is an unknown evil and that technology evens the playing field against individuals who bring people to their knees with “magic.”

Government/Religion

The Blackwatch governmental system is what can be classified as a Socialist Capitalist Meritocracy where those who perform well are given handouts and incentives that urge them to work harder. The upper level of government are all easily swayed political figures and defense contractors who trickle down wealth to those below them. Blackwatch as a whole follows a flawed interpretation of Systemism where they believe that superior technology is a must that will allow them to destroy any threat that exists. This is a far departure from normal Systems where the sharing and development of technology allows for everyone to live to their fullest despite any opposition.

History

Blackwatch started off as a military fallback for Blackgate, formerly Highgate, during the Downfall. It would have played the role as a hypothetical “last stand” for Blackgate should Allied forces lose the region to the shadow, and as a result, the majority of the personnel in Blackwatch at the time were armed forces. Once the Downfall ended, Blackwatch grew in size and declared independence from Blackgate, now rebuilt with high walls in the case of another invasion. The military population influenced how the government would be run, focusing more on armed forces and policies that would boost its military. Once Blackwatch was of competitive size to other regions with a formidable military to boot, they started interfering with other local regions through mild acts of war and aggression. The most notable cases were the Cierian War where Blackwatch sided with the Anti-cultivists, The Highgate Civil War where they aided the winning side towards the end, and the invasion of Aether. After the subjugation of Aether, Blackwatch was threatened by the Cierian Alliance to cease wartime actions against Aether, and was signed into manufacturing equipment for the newly formed Cierian Protection Front.

Blackwatch also had a period of expansionism post-Downfall where they expanded out and claimed the entire peninsula around the region as Blackwatch territory, encroaching even as far as the southern Raiteran forest.

Hozumi

Sent with others to face the darkness of the Shadowhold, Hozumi was the only survivor of one too many expeditions gone wrong. Feeling rightfully betrayed by his previous faction, the spirit of wind and ice left them behind, and came to meet the King of All. While not a true believer in the godly nature of the King or even necessarily loyal, Hozumi is still a follower of the King to serve his own personal ends; to burn away the taint of the Shadowhold and to attain righteous vengeance on those that merely threw him and his friends’ lives away

Hydro2O

Hydro engaged in a heated confrontation with an individual determined to claim the bounty on his head, much like the numerous others who had previously challenged him. Hydro found himself on the brink of defeat when the King of All arrived and swiftly incapacitated his opponent. He knew of Hydro, as news of his bounty had circulated throughout the South-West of Cier, and he extended an invitation to join his mission. Recognizing the King's willingness to accept him and not view him as a monster, Hydro agreed to join forces, not only as a way to repay his debt for being saved but also to escape the stigma he had endured in Blackwatch.

Sync

Robbed of a childhood, experimented upon, and eventually used as a weapon; all crimes committed to a victim of the name Sync. While physically free from their grasp, the deeds Sync accomplished with his Core for the Blackwatch nation still haunt and trap his mind, a guilt he cannot escape. As many with guilty consciences do, he sought religion to atone for his mistakes, and to hopefully find a place he can call home. Seeing his potential, the King of All graciously welcomed Sync into the fold.

Story on doughnut physical traits

ok so as a child doughnut used to get bullied for having doughnut powers and all that, you know other kids being like "heh look at that noob power, lets beat him up" and thats how doughnut gets either his black or white eye, (hasnt been decided yet), and his mother magically heals his eye, so he can see through it but it doesn't change how it looks, and then both the Mother and Father of doughnut and Joy saw how badly doughnut was getting beaten by the other kids, so to help him out a bit they grabbed a mysterious experimental vile thats been in the works at their top secret probably evil organization and since the mum and Dad are just so rad like that, they make the experimental vile work properly, and give it to doughnut, which gives him his turning purple powers, it has something to do with his fighting soul and will power or something, but while playing with his powers and being not careful generally he gets his other eye which his mother also heals, but because the mum and dad gave him the vile that they weren't allowed to take and give to their son, they slowly got taken 1 by 1 to try to recreate what they did with the vile, they took the mum first cause she was the most aggressive in the family and that gave the dad enough time to prep their kids for the future and what may come, Joy becomes a self made scientist to figure out what their parents were doing but she gets a bit too close to the truth and while doughnut is out getting milk or whatever when he comes back all the research joy did everything in their house is burnt down, doughnut only hears the whisper of his family still being alive because of the purple power he was giving so doughnut doesn't know where his family is but he knows they're alive, but also doughnut never asked for this, he just wanted to live with his family but also playing with the cards that got handed to him

BLACK EYE:

So when doughnut was a child he was playing with his Donut abilities that he had newly gained and testing it out, Some kids also with new found abilities see doughnut with his powers and come to bully him for his dumb powers, his stupid abilities, and when doughnut tries to show off his cool donut powers, they start pushing doughnut around, but their abilities and powers start acting up and when they striked doughnut they hit his eye and his eye turned black, blood going everywhere, the kids ran away, as doughnut came back home bleeding everywhere, his mother patched him up letting him see again, but leaving the mark of having a black eye on his face forever.

WHITE EYE: doughnut got his white eye, when it was cut with a stray piece of flying glass, due to a building explosion.

Like how when he is in a life or death situation, after his buff wears off, he will be passed out for the next two days. when he goes past level 0 his hair band bursts and his hair goes loose (rule of cool, no idea why).

level 0 - normal (base strength, base speed, base endurance, etc), red, no aftermath

level 1 - battle/ angry (+1 str, +1 spd, +1 end, etc), purple, aftermath is gets a little tired when going back to normal

level 2 - badly losing (+2 str, +2 spd, +2 end, etc), darker purple, aftermath is gets really tired and passes out for a day (he can stay awake if he really tries)
