The story of ETSS was initially inspired by an Underverse AU, Empireverse, by lunnar-chan on Tumblr.In the meantime, the other empire kids (now empire adults, technically) attempt to recover from the horrors and events from ten years prior.ĮTSS Arcs 6-7 (Above Characters Included) Lux attempts to help solve these tensions, wondering who to really trust, all in guilt-fueled hopes to prevent another cycle of wartime suffering in the empires. However, the two empires are on the verge of warring and tensions are high as the initial four empires quarrel over the dangers that could and will come with the new empires. Ten years after Lux becomes Queen of Firesun and ends the decades-long war between Firesun and Watermoon, the empires witness the impossibly rare discovery of two new empires, Lightnova and Darkvoid. Young Princess Lux escapes from her home of Firesun as a result of a raid by Watermoon with a single soldier, Janus/Fifteen, and decides to help all four nations in order to pave the way for a better future while finding out the history of the war between Firesun and Watermoon. However, its royalty after establishing all four empires have not been at peace for the past few decades due to a war between Firesun and Watermoon. His name comes from work-in-progress names for Ventus, meaning "storm" in Latin.įour intergalactic empires have colonized rogue planets together, with the two oldest ones being EarthEclispe and WindStar, and the newer FireSun and WaterMoon. He is also part court jester and acts as a spy for Lightnova in order to gain respect after being saved by Azureus. He alludes to Ventus Fulmen from AuAg, both sharing a similar character arc but in differing time periods. The second is Tempestas, a prisoner of Darkvoid and Azureus' partner. He also shares a name with the original Blue Paladin of the DOTSverse. He alludes to Cobalt Zaffre from DOTS: Danger Days, however instead of a gladiator-style fighter he acts as royal guard to Queen Violacea. The first is Azureus, blue legionnaire of Lightnova. He is Lux's personal guard as per order from King Caelus to keep watch over his daughter rather than himself like the other 14 guards.ĭue to arcs 6-7 having self indulgent references to Mana's two other main stories, the DOTSverse and Aurumgentum, two other Chrises have been added (however, Mana sees them as uncanon variations of preexisting Chrises, thus making them variations of an individual Chris rather than the Chris concept).

He is very loyal to the royals (as well as being Lux's cousin and Caelus' nephew), staying by Lux's side no matter what and semi-regretting not defending the king himself during the initial raid on Firesun leading to their escape. Janus is stoic and disciplined as a soldier, and is a powerful one due to holding the rank of number 15 in Firesun. Mana also chose the name Zaffreblaze because she thought a shield with the letter Z on it would look cool, though it is unknown if Janus will ever gain one like it. Janus' surname "Zaffreblaze" mildly references Cobalt Zaffre, as Mana wanted Janus' name to reference the color blue while also including a fire-related word in it. He wears gauntlets as a minor reference to Chrises with metal prosthetic arms such as Cobalt Zaffre in DOTS:DD and Agent Blue from MAR.

Janus' usual outfit consists of his Firesun soldier uniform, colored in blue due to being a blueflame. Originally his hair was planned to be white with the iconic cobalt-colored tips, but an opacity issue with the blue color made Mana keep it as a slate color. Unlike other Chrises, Janus has white hair with slate colored tips. He is number 15 in Firesun's soldier ranks and the only soldier to leave Firesun with Lux as her caretaker. The Chris of ETSS is known as Janus Zaffreblaze. The star symbol in the apple represents their space-themed empires. Magical apples play a large role in ETSS, both being used for healing and destruction. 3.2 ETSS Arcs 6-7 (Above Characters Included)ĮTSS logo from a picture of Gray, without starĮTSS's story symbol is an apple, typically drawn with a four-pointed star on it.
