Hope you all enjoy! Begin Warpdrive! <3 History: Spoiler It is the year 212 AXW: the Great War that ravaged the galaxy of Xerxes has given way to contentious peace. One of the legendary heroes of the war, Arcturo Rave, now presides over Xerxes as the High King. His influence, though considerable, is barely containing a galaxy divided. Much of the conflict stems from two age-old adversaries: the humanoid Errans of House Rave in Sector 4, and the lizard-like Draconians in Sector 1. To defuse the tension, Draconian Count Vorakia Estuuban wishes to merge two of the most influential houses from Sector 1 and Sector 4 through the marriage of Princess Ellemine Rave (daughter of the High King) and Prince Chad Zephyr (son of Lord Falric Zephyr). The High King approves of this union between the Errans of House Rave in Sector 4 and the Humans of House Zephyr in Sector 1. However, the Count may have an agenda of his own for this marriage, and may not have the best interest of the galaxy in mind. Could House Zephyr simply be a puppet of the Draconian Count in this union? Story: Spoiler Klein Cryoz, the personal bodyguard of Princess Ellemine Rave, finds himself caught up in a twist of unfavorable events. Journey into the galaxy of Xerxes and enter Klein's life, as he finds himself caught up in a galactic feud. Along the way, the fragments of his long-forgotten dark past surface, piece by piece. Will he be able to do his duty, withstand the pressure of a brewing war, all the while having his past haunt him?

I just wanna share what my little brother rewrote for Rave Heart history in Gen-z linggo! It's so funny! XD

"It's the year 212 AXW: the Great War that wrecked the galaxy of Xerxes has cooled off into a sketchy peace. One of the war's GOATs, Arcturo Rave, is now the High King of Xerxes. Even with his clout, he's barely keeping the divided galaxy in check.

The main beef is between two OG rivals: the humanoid Errans of House Rave in Sector 4 and the lizard-like Draconians in Sector 1. To chill things out, Draconian Count Vorakia Estuuban wants to link up two of the most SIGMA houses by marrying Princess Ellemine Rave (the High King’s daughter) to Prince Chad Zephyr (son of Lord Falric Zephyr). The High King said "bet" and is all for this merger between the Errans of House Rave in Sector 4 and the Humans of House Zephyr in Sector 1. But Count Vorakia might have some sus motives, and this marriage might just be a power move for him to yeet his rivals out of power. Is House Zephyr just a pawn in the Draconian Count’s game?"
