General Questions (Solar Shadow)
By: IlinaFan01 Date: March 6, 2020, 8:02 am
---------------------------------------------------------
A general thread for Solar Shadow questions, so as to not bump
the other threads; I hope you do not mind, AuroraDash.
Are you an Auror?
My serious questions:
Do any Solar Shadow (SS) characters have canon counterparts?
From 1 to 4?
Also, when was Andrea born?
And, seeing as these Valkyrie taint things have different
variations, what would hers be?

Good questions, I guess!

Technically no, I just pretend I am as part of my parents'
convoluted tax avoidance scheme.

[/quote]
A lot of canon characters later appeared in SS -- Selena Daria,
Serenity, Aidan, Eron, Shinica, Valerie and Ataraxis all appear
in various places in the SS universe. Ilina, Elektra, the three
Goddesses and a few others were supposed to appear in SS3, but I
never finished it so they didn't. Finally, Shinova, an obscure
character who is canon but never appears in Lunar Shadow is
briefly mentioned in SS4.
The only character to appear first in SS and later be confirmed
canon in LS is Andrea, who appears as a friendly NPC in Selenic
Shadow.
There are two characters who definitely do not have canon
counterparts and who never will: Terrah, who doesn't exist in LS
because he doesn't fit into the canon Horton family tree, and
Mitsuru, a character who was accidentally created by Alfasketer
due to confusion over some dialogue in the original Lunar
Shadow. Technically, her canon counterpart is Hiranya, but in SS
she and Hiranya both exist as separate characters.

[/quote]
I like to think of her as slightly older than Selena Daria --
so, most likely sometime in the early 1980s. So, she is in her
early 30s at the time of Lunar Shadow, and roughly 40 by the
time she appears in SS2.

The Valkyrie taint things only really apply to the Horton line,
I believe. She doesn't appear to be related to them, so she
doesn't really have one -- she only has the standard abilities
of a Valkyrie.

So I told Kim what you mentioned about Revelyion, and she says
she likes the idea.
But she asks if it uses TAC's ID (8) or Anegio's ID (9), or if
it uses a new one (29) while the other two don't get used any
longer, being kept for historic reasons.
(The continent ID is used in ID documents in Serenth...)

I imagine it would use a new one. However, people who already
had continent IDs of 8 or 9 on their ID documents would get to
keep those and wouldn't need to have them changed.

Heya. So, Kim saw what notes I have about "Solar Shadow"
characters (from here).
She would like permission to make Andrea and Terrah canon, and
info on the SS3 characters Achcer, Ava, Jeffie, Zerisse, Kenn,
and Kiarey, as well as permission to have a canon Kiarey Red who
is Serenity's age and friend, attending Yes Town's school with
her.

Alright! I think I already mentioned on CSTSF that she has
permission to make them canon, so sure, go ahead :3
Because those were SS3 characters, they never really got fleshed
out very much.
I envisioned Achcer (pronounced: ak-sher) as sensitive, kind and
quiet. He would have psychic abilities, and attack using
telekinesis.
His older sister Ava would be determined, competent and fierce,
and fight with the Queen's Sword, which has some sort of magic
powers but I never decided exactly what they were. They had
special artifacts which could teleport themselves to each other.
Jeffie would be a cat-boy. While Ava and Achcer would be
somewhat younger than Serenity, and Kenn and Kiarey would be
quite substantially younger, he would be a little older than
Serenity. He often wears leather jackets and always carries a
hidden gun, although he'd be wearing something more comfy and
flexible in the game.
I'm thinking Zerisse would be a reclusive and grumpy character,
who has worked for Archon City for several decades. Might've
been the boss of the Industrial Zone, or maybe a friendly NPC,
or start off as one and become the other.
Kenn would've never actually appeared in person, but would speak
to Alice Veilnight (the "main" character of SS3) at the
beginning of the game and at various other points using a
satellite. He would have access to powerful technology
(including the satellite), which he probably borrowed from his
family.
Kiarey would've been an erratic, damaged character -- not
directly antagonistic, but with an unstable personality, perhaps
caused by some incident at high school; it's probable that
Kiarey, Kenn, Alice and Steve Leroi all went to high school
together. She, along with Ava, would've appeared as friendly
NPCs in the Coffee Shop -- a sort of hub area with no time
limits.
I also had this idea that HP values in SS3 would be very low
compared to SS2. Most damage would be 1HP, occasionally 2HP and
sometimes an instant kill. Everyone would start with 4HP, which
could be raised to 7HP by the use of well-hidden
character-specific upgrade items:
Achcer:
Heart Jar (+1)
Bad Heart Jar (+2)
Alice:
Bottle of Wisdom (+1)
Bottle of Weird Speaking (+2)
Ilina:
Peach (+1)
Freeze Peach (+2)
Jeffie:
Mineral Water (+1)
Vegetable Water (+2)
(I never came up with ideas for Shinica or Steve)
A couple of other possibly planned SS3 characters I thought up
and then did nothing with:
-- Jupiter Cross, the boss of the Inner Wall. Mostly implemented
-- was the last thing I made before abandoning the game.
Would've guarded the Steel Rod which you'd need to progress
further.
-- Anya (no last name), probably a bonus boss. A minor Goddess,
with powers of death and oblivion. Used to be human thousands of
years ago. Serves as janitor to the other Goddesses.
Feel free to do whatever you like with any of the characters.

Thank you. :3
I'll be sure to let you know what happens with the canon
counterparts. :)
... Er. Was Jupiter male or female? Or neither?

Four questions for you, [member=8]AuroraDash[/member].
1: How old is Kascan Rizou?
2: Where is Archon City? (Zerisse Nool's from there?)
3: Is it OK if Andrea Yauman's "Selenic Shadow" sprite is used
for her statue in "Apocalyptic Shadow", representing the Solar
Shadow timeline?
4: Could you please name Andrea's canon-timeline parents? (One
or both would be a Valkyrie.)
Speaking of Andrea: Blae (name comes from "blue") and her
descendants live on the ocean planet Kahili, with Blae's
daughter Jenaia having founded Cloudveil Kingdom on the Nagar
continent. So canon-timeline Andrea would be born there...
(I did say I'd let you know what happens with the canon
counterparts. :3 )

1: I had never considered that before, but he's definitely on
the older side -- 50s, probably?
2: it's in Frakticah, Jarodimia, in a desert district called
Ashenland. However, sometime in the 2030s it becomes part of the
Ralar Federation. Zerisse lives and works there, but she's
probably not from there originally, given that there don't seem
to be many other dark elves there.
3: Certainly! :3
4: Sure ^w^ I'll get back to you on that.
