Kana Nishikinomiya

Aye, Kana was born with the power to manipulate earth and gravity magic, but she was just a normal girl, or as normal as an incest baby between a child of a super powerful dryad and her fox spirit mother could be. Kazue spent the majority of the time rearing and raising her, Florence only wanted to see if she was compatible to be a vessel should her magic be too much for her body. Unfortunately for Kana, she was extremely incompatible, and had a very bad temper, often smashing things and changing the geography. As a stopgap, Florence used forbidden magic to make her a "goddess", her spirit tied to what now is the land of Hinokai to live, feeding off the magic in nature. As a curse, she needs the faith of the people to actually keep her form stable and her powers from going out of control. To counter, Kazue fashioned her fox doll, Emi to keep her tantrums in check, but at the cost of emotional growth, meaning a majority of Kana's life she was pretty emotionless on the outside. Being away from actual people and only used for rituals, lewd or otherwise, turned her into the antisocial girl you see today.

After meeting her sisters, Kazue made her swear to a pact. In exchange for some of her magic and faith, Kana had to make sure her sisters didn't die, no matter the cost, even if she had to drag their souls out of the underworld to bring them back. Events happen, and it was Karin who broke her out of that cycle and managed to have her live her natural life out without being tied to the land, as a "goddess" of sorts. marcavis — Today at 12:49 AM oh oooooh

— Today at 12:49 AM luna — Today at 12:50 AM That's my idea. Feel free to change or take out anything that seems to conflict. After all, lore isn't finalized until we have a product out to show people the fruits of our efforts. marcavis — Today at 12:50 AM aye, kinda like I was saying to Gonya 🤔 and even after we have a product, sometimes 😬 Although we always hope that retconning is not needed luna — Today at 12:51 AM I hope so, too. marcavis — Today at 12:54 AM It could be Florence that made Kana swear the pact, I wonder. So Kazue would've mostly done the mitigation? Hmm Hard to say. Kazue prob does get to have some skeletons in the closet too, so to speak luna — Today at 12:55 AM Hm, we could do that, so that Florence could have more vessels, so to speak. And yeah, Kazue had a lot of blood on her hands at the time, indirectly or not. marcavis — Today at 12:57 AM It could be that it was Kana's protection from death that made Florence able to survive at all in some form in the amulet... although that would mean that freeing Kana would make Florence disappear, a trade that Misty would do, but Karin would not luna — Today at 12:57 AM Karin couldn't do that, she doesn't have it in her, even as an adult, to take a life so needlessly. To her, even the most evil of people deserve to live. Kana wouldn't have any reason to keep Florence alive, she would very much dislike her "Papa". And if we do get this game made, Kana would have a huge part in it. marcavis — Today at 12:59 AM Yosh! luna — Today at 1:00 AM To which is why she sticks around Kathlynn as her "Mama". Sayo reminds her too much of Florence to be able to stomach. But on the other hand, no one really understood Sayo more than Kathlynn. I'm going to be updating Sayo with some more lore and her true form. Just need to get that sheet of her done and I can put that in place. marcavis — Today at 1:01 AM

"Florence only wanted to see if she was compatible to be a vessel should her magic be too much for her body." can you elaborate more? (I'm aware that some points are going to be unclear at this time) luna — Today at 1:04 AM Yeah, I was thinking that her magic from her father wasn't really holding up in her body. While it made her strong and smart as Aliel, she aged a bit too quickly due to terribly mismanaging it. I was thinking on having Aliel give her the knowledge of how to preserve her soul and be able to live forever through body jumping, with all the boons and curses that go along with it. marcavis — Today at 1:05 AM oooh intriguing I hadn't thought whether Aliel "is the same person" across every 1000 year cycle, but hmmm intriguing, intriguing luna — Today at 1:06 AM I'd say each child born of Aliel is a bit of her in a different form, like a seed Just in the off chance Aliel main body "dies" luna — Today at 1:27 AM And since Kanon is part of Kana, she is technically Florence's child. Well, to be fair, Kanon is Kana's "body" but with the soul of the doll she carried with her.
