Here it is, the MAR Heaven Signup Sheet! Before you sign up, if you don’t know what MAR Heaven is about:
MÄR-Heaven is a
fictional world in the anime and manga series MÄR, and its sequel series MÄR Omega. It is largely based upon fairy tales, and is set in a world similar to the Middle Ages of Europe in the real world.
Introduction
A world set in a different universe from Earth, the world of MÄR-Heaven is, culturally, largely based upon fictional stories and fairy tales. While Earth has settled upon more democratic types of government, MÄR-Heaven is still in a medieval-style age and their main form of government is based entirely around kings and queens. Its official currency is called pewter.
MÄR-Heaven's land and denizens do not unite under the rule of one single monarchy, but instead are commanded by separate kingdoms, the apparent leader of them being Lestava. Its recent history is revealed as the series progresses, most of which being shaped through the uprise of a militant faction goes by the name of Chess Pieces. Any documents concerning MÄR-Heaven's earlier, more sophisticated evolutions other than Chess-related materials did not surface throughout the story; however as many Chess Pieces members asserted to having led a previous traumatic living in their own community, while some certain ones, among them those with universally recognized moral codes, believe the destructive way of Chess Pieces army does good to the current world, it can be deduced that MÄR-Heaven did not enjoy a splendid reign before the Chess Pieces' arrival.
The present and related past events unfolding in MÄR-Heaven see two catastrophic wars - each of which when waged desecrates nearly the whole of MÄR-Heaven to ruins, sparked into existence by the Chess Pieces. Better known as the 1st & 2nd Great MÄR-Heaven Wars (第一 /二次メルヘヴン大戦, lit. Dai ichi/niji Meruhevun Taisen), the wars take place at a six-year interval, the 1st 6 years prior to the current timeline and the 2nd in present time; both consistently revolve around two main 'stages'. The first to be held is the 'war campaign', a period fully dedicated to destruction to propagate fear. In the 2nd war, this successfully came off with clockwork precision - at precisely 5:12 PM in every kingdom & noteworthy spot around MÄR-Heaven, blitzkriegs executed by Chess Pieces Knights with each's own troops were launched into action. The damages sustained during this stage, traditionally, are beyond measure: thousands of civilians are indiscriminately slaughtered with their properties either wrecked or robbed, kingdoms fall one after another - during the 2nd War, in a matter of days, 40% of MÄR-Heaven yielded to the Chess' domination in this manner. Whatever remained of MÄR-Heaven after the war campaign's onslaughts would then be witness to the second stage of the War Games - the Chess' last blow to eradicate (if any) left threats and flaunts their superiority. However in this final climax of both wars, MÄR-Heaven's eventual peace was championed, and triumphed for, by the Cross Guard (1st War) and team MÄR (2nd war).

ÄRMs are artifacts known to every residents born in the land of MÄR-Heaven and used by almost all for a variety of purposes, but since the 1st Marchen war, their weaponry efficiency in warfare matters was introduced, and from then forth it's been popularized. ÄRM's creation originated in the magic kingdom Kaldea, along with its magical counterpart the magic stones. They were manufactured by the wizards through the use of special metallurgy, giving them extraordinary power in the form of normal accessories. An ÄRM can almost always be "upgraded" with magic stones. They contain the abilities of other ÄRMs as well as magical power to boost any ÄRM's abilities.
ÄRMs vary in strength and appearance and are divided into many kinds:
An ÄRM's power depends largely upon the user's aptitude - mentally, physically and above all, magically: one must have magical power - without it, the user is incapable of using powerful ÄRMs, or in case he/she uses weak ÄRMs, the effect is minimal. So that one born of magicless blood (therefore with no such innate capacity) can have magical power, he/she opts for either training compatibility with ÄRM (e.g using ÄRM in multiple fights) or synchronizing with it - to think ÄRM is a part of the body. The second option often requires what one calls 'sixth sense' (シックスセンス, shikkusu sensu) - the stronger the sense, the more consummate a user one will become. When the user can fully synchronize with the ÄRM, he befits the title of ÄRM user - as he fights, his magical power will increase, as will the power of ÄRM in accordance with it. This, however, can be a fatal flaw to those who use elemental Nature ÄRMs: as one synchronizes with them, one's physical state is highly susceptible to the ÄRM's element's anti-elementals (e.g fire weakens ice), which will eventually exhaust the two remaining factors in a chain-reaction.
Chess Pieces
(チェスの兵隊, Chesu no Koma)
MÄR-Heaven's predominant rebellious faction aiming to tyrannise over the entire world. It was founded approximately 10 years previous to the series' current events by two Caldian expatriates, the Queen Diana and the no.1 Knight Phantom. It's known to have waged two wars (one 6 years previously, and the other in present time) against kingdoms on a worldwide scale (after each of which civilian casualties and property damage escalate to a staggering number) and organized the following notorious War Game, the crescendo of the war with which it plans to demonstrate its overwhelming power and therewith, the right to exercise supreme authority over the world.
Cross Guard
(クロスガード, Kurosu Gado)
MÄR-Heaven's guardian faction aiming to defend the world against the Chess Pieces. It was founded approximately 6 years ago (precisely the time of the 1st War) uniting warriors from all over the world by MÄR-Heaven's sovereign kingdom, Lestava - whose Queen, Diana, also presented its soldiers with powerful weapons called ÄRMs equal to that of the Chess Pieces' to confront them. Commanded by Danna of Earth world - summoned to MÄR-Heaven through a Dimension ÄRM Diana gave them, the Monban Piero - Alan of Lestava and Gaira, later hailed as the 2nd and 3rd man, Cross Guard emerged triumphant in the 1st War with the death of Chess Pieces' leading Knight Phantom in the War Game (the extent to which it was capable of fending off the Chess in the war stage not documented). However, with Danna also dead in a stalemate with Phantom and most of its strongest War Game participants (according to Pozun, the referee of the 2nd War Game, the number was around 30) sacrificed, this feat is remembered by most Cross veterans as a pyrrhic victory. Vitally decapitated, the Cross Guard engages the Chess Pieces in the 2nd War only to be overpowered after feeble attempts to obstruct the mass raid (while not receiving any help from the 2nd-in-command, Alan). Although devastatingly weakened, it still partakes in the 2nd War Game with soldiers led by Gaira the 3rd-in-command, however they are all wiped out by Pawn-ranked Chess in the preliminary round before the Game starts, save for only Alviss who later joins Team MÄR and Gaira, who miraculously survives a fight with the Knight Chimera, but is disqualified.
Luberia
(ルベリア, Ruberia)
MÄR-Heaven's governing thief guild. It was founded by Galian, a later-to-be Chess Knight, gathering people who all have touched bottom and has prospered under the two reigns of Galian and later, Nanashi, a man with obscure past Galian had taken under his wing (who secures the position of the boss which Galian entrusted to him as he deserted it for the Chess Pieces 6 years previously). Luberia tends to stay out of world affair and stays focus on its thieving occupation, which it did during the 1st War. However in the 2nd War, things took a different turn when its derivative thieve groups were commissioned by Chess Piece Knight Peta to pursue Babbo. Later as Peta withdrew the contract (along with the pertained handsome bounty of 100 million pewters), they assaulted him in rage and got themselves along with the Luberia fortress exterminated, their flag also taken. Distraught at this felony, Luberia's boss Nanashi resolved to give up the guild's neutral position and entered the War Game to extract his revenge. At the end of the anime Galian and Nanashi rule Luberia together.

Unique
Unknown
Magic stones are...just like they are named. They are red, round stones that can augment a weapon ARM if it has enough slots to do so. Once inserted, the Magic Stone can give a weapon ARM new powers, such as the ability to shoot fire from the ARM itself. A Magic stone can turn a substandard, useless weapon ARM into a contender in no time flat. However, even with a Magic Stone, if one does not have sufficient magical power, one cannot hope to bond with an ARM and grow stronger.

Personality: HATES the residents of MAR Heaven and all human non-Chess members; believes in the “strong rules the weak” mentality; is a cruel and calculating fellow.
History: A long time ago, Omega/King used to live in Caldea, filled with dreams to become one of the best ARM masters that he could be. His natural curiosity, plus his advanced magical power allowed him to truly enjoys the many wonders of MAR Heaven. All of that changed, however, once he discovered the ARM treasury room. Poking inside, he discovered a black orb that enticed him with its pulsating power; Omega/King found himself attached to the orb and soon visited it day after day, telling it stories of his life and other adventures he had. One day, he was caught by the Great Grandfather (head of Caldea) and was locked in prison for 3 days.
Once he was released from prison by his parents, it seemed that everything was fine…a huge feast was even prepared for him to celebrate his return…however, after the feast was done and Omega was asleep, what happened the next day would forever shock him…his parents were found dead in the living room, each of them with a sword on their chest. Omega/King had no time to take in this loss, as several of Great Grandfather’s servants came and arrested him. One of them told Omega/King that his parents had committed suicide since they were unable to bear with the task of executing him for the forbidden act of going inside the treasury room…
...After being locked in jail for 3 years and seemingly forgotten about, Omega/King heard a voice deep inside his head…it was the voice of the orb that he had visited many times. It promised Omega/King power and escape from prison if he surrendered his soul and body to the God of Chaos. Omega/King easily accepted this proposal and was immediately filled with a rush of dark energy….breaking free from prison, Omega/King broke into the treasury and stole as many ARMs as he could and the black orb that had enticed him before. After summoning his Black Phoenix and heading towards the outskirts of the Hild Continent, he started to gather together those that shared the same beliefs as him. Thus, the organization known as the Chess Pieces was born...Omega/King and the Chess Pieces then conquered Lestava only 3 weeks after they had formed! As a sign of their victory, they had invoked a magic spell to set the castle high above MAR Heaven. Now, Omega/King seeks out 5 special Magic Stones in order to put his plans into motion...a world without foolish humans.
fictional world in the anime and manga series MÄR, and its sequel series MÄR Omega. It is largely based upon fairy tales, and is set in a world similar to the Middle Ages of Europe in the real world.
Introduction
A world set in a different universe from Earth, the world of MÄR-Heaven is, culturally, largely based upon fictional stories and fairy tales. While Earth has settled upon more democratic types of government, MÄR-Heaven is still in a medieval-style age and their main form of government is based entirely around kings and queens. Its official currency is called pewter.
MÄR-Heaven's land and denizens do not unite under the rule of one single monarchy, but instead are commanded by separate kingdoms, the apparent leader of them being Lestava. Its recent history is revealed as the series progresses, most of which being shaped through the uprise of a militant faction goes by the name of Chess Pieces. Any documents concerning MÄR-Heaven's earlier, more sophisticated evolutions other than Chess-related materials did not surface throughout the story; however as many Chess Pieces members asserted to having led a previous traumatic living in their own community, while some certain ones, among them those with universally recognized moral codes, believe the destructive way of Chess Pieces army does good to the current world, it can be deduced that MÄR-Heaven did not enjoy a splendid reign before the Chess Pieces' arrival.
The present and related past events unfolding in MÄR-Heaven see two catastrophic wars - each of which when waged desecrates nearly the whole of MÄR-Heaven to ruins, sparked into existence by the Chess Pieces. Better known as the 1st & 2nd Great MÄR-Heaven Wars (第一 /二次メルヘヴン大戦, lit. Dai ichi/niji Meruhevun Taisen), the wars take place at a six-year interval, the 1st 6 years prior to the current timeline and the 2nd in present time; both consistently revolve around two main 'stages'. The first to be held is the 'war campaign', a period fully dedicated to destruction to propagate fear. In the 2nd war, this successfully came off with clockwork precision - at precisely 5:12 PM in every kingdom & noteworthy spot around MÄR-Heaven, blitzkriegs executed by Chess Pieces Knights with each's own troops were launched into action. The damages sustained during this stage, traditionally, are beyond measure: thousands of civilians are indiscriminately slaughtered with their properties either wrecked or robbed, kingdoms fall one after another - during the 2nd War, in a matter of days, 40% of MÄR-Heaven yielded to the Chess' domination in this manner. Whatever remained of MÄR-Heaven after the war campaign's onslaughts would then be witness to the second stage of the War Games - the Chess' last blow to eradicate (if any) left threats and flaunts their superiority. However in this final climax of both wars, MÄR-Heaven's eventual peace was championed, and triumphed for, by the Cross Guard (1st War) and team MÄR (2nd war).

ÄRMs are artifacts known to every residents born in the land of MÄR-Heaven and used by almost all for a variety of purposes, but since the 1st Marchen war, their weaponry efficiency in warfare matters was introduced, and from then forth it's been popularized. ÄRM's creation originated in the magic kingdom Kaldea, along with its magical counterpart the magic stones. They were manufactured by the wizards through the use of special metallurgy, giving them extraordinary power in the form of normal accessories. An ÄRM can almost always be "upgraded" with magic stones. They contain the abilities of other ÄRMs as well as magical power to boost any ÄRM's abilities.
ÄRMs vary in strength and appearance and are divided into many kinds:
- Simple ÄRMs are little more than simple tools when active.
- Holy ÄRMs possess the power to heal and undo curses inflicted by Darkness ÄRMs. Known in the dub as Sacred ÄRMs.
- Weapon ÄRMs are used as weapons in battle.
- Darkness ÄRMs are powerful artifacts typically used to curse people usually at a cost to the user.
- Dimension ÄRMs can teleport anyone to different places, create pocket dimensions, and occasionally allow someone to watch scenes happening far away.
- Guardian ÄRMs summon a monster or a 'guardian' of some sort to protect the owner of the ÄRM. The drawback is that as long as the guardian is active the ÄRM user is unable to move from the spot he was when he summoned it.
- Nature ÄRMs are used for certain elemental attacks, or enhancing a body's physical performance.
- Ghost ÄRMs attach to the user's body and allows the user to use his or her body as a living weapon.
- Unique ÄRMs are any ÄRMs that can't be put into any of the other classes, such as Babbo.
An ÄRM's power depends largely upon the user's aptitude - mentally, physically and above all, magically: one must have magical power - without it, the user is incapable of using powerful ÄRMs, or in case he/she uses weak ÄRMs, the effect is minimal. So that one born of magicless blood (therefore with no such innate capacity) can have magical power, he/she opts for either training compatibility with ÄRM (e.g using ÄRM in multiple fights) or synchronizing with it - to think ÄRM is a part of the body. The second option often requires what one calls 'sixth sense' (シックスセンス, shikkusu sensu) - the stronger the sense, the more consummate a user one will become. When the user can fully synchronize with the ÄRM, he befits the title of ÄRM user - as he fights, his magical power will increase, as will the power of ÄRM in accordance with it. This, however, can be a fatal flaw to those who use elemental Nature ÄRMs: as one synchronizes with them, one's physical state is highly susceptible to the ÄRM's element's anti-elementals (e.g fire weakens ice), which will eventually exhaust the two remaining factors in a chain-reaction.
Chess Pieces
(チェスの兵隊, Chesu no Koma)
MÄR-Heaven's predominant rebellious faction aiming to tyrannise over the entire world. It was founded approximately 10 years previous to the series' current events by two Caldian expatriates, the Queen Diana and the no.1 Knight Phantom. It's known to have waged two wars (one 6 years previously, and the other in present time) against kingdoms on a worldwide scale (after each of which civilian casualties and property damage escalate to a staggering number) and organized the following notorious War Game, the crescendo of the war with which it plans to demonstrate its overwhelming power and therewith, the right to exercise supreme authority over the world.
Cross Guard
(クロスガード, Kurosu Gado)
MÄR-Heaven's guardian faction aiming to defend the world against the Chess Pieces. It was founded approximately 6 years ago (precisely the time of the 1st War) uniting warriors from all over the world by MÄR-Heaven's sovereign kingdom, Lestava - whose Queen, Diana, also presented its soldiers with powerful weapons called ÄRMs equal to that of the Chess Pieces' to confront them. Commanded by Danna of Earth world - summoned to MÄR-Heaven through a Dimension ÄRM Diana gave them, the Monban Piero - Alan of Lestava and Gaira, later hailed as the 2nd and 3rd man, Cross Guard emerged triumphant in the 1st War with the death of Chess Pieces' leading Knight Phantom in the War Game (the extent to which it was capable of fending off the Chess in the war stage not documented). However, with Danna also dead in a stalemate with Phantom and most of its strongest War Game participants (according to Pozun, the referee of the 2nd War Game, the number was around 30) sacrificed, this feat is remembered by most Cross veterans as a pyrrhic victory. Vitally decapitated, the Cross Guard engages the Chess Pieces in the 2nd War only to be overpowered after feeble attempts to obstruct the mass raid (while not receiving any help from the 2nd-in-command, Alan). Although devastatingly weakened, it still partakes in the 2nd War Game with soldiers led by Gaira the 3rd-in-command, however they are all wiped out by Pawn-ranked Chess in the preliminary round before the Game starts, save for only Alviss who later joins Team MÄR and Gaira, who miraculously survives a fight with the Knight Chimera, but is disqualified.
Luberia
(ルベリア, Ruberia)
MÄR-Heaven's governing thief guild. It was founded by Galian, a later-to-be Chess Knight, gathering people who all have touched bottom and has prospered under the two reigns of Galian and later, Nanashi, a man with obscure past Galian had taken under his wing (who secures the position of the boss which Galian entrusted to him as he deserted it for the Chess Pieces 6 years previously). Luberia tends to stay out of world affair and stays focus on its thieving occupation, which it did during the 1st War. However in the 2nd War, things took a different turn when its derivative thieve groups were commissioned by Chess Piece Knight Peta to pursue Babbo. Later as Peta withdrew the contract (along with the pertained handsome bounty of 100 million pewters), they assaulted him in rage and got themselves along with the Luberia fortress exterminated, their flag also taken. Distraught at this felony, Luberia's boss Nanashi resolved to give up the guild's neutral position and entered the War Game to extract his revenge. At the end of the anime Galian and Nanashi rule Luberia together.

Magic stones are...just like they are named. They are red, round stones that can augment a weapon ARM if it has enough slots to do so. Once inserted, the Magic Stone can give a weapon ARM new powers, such as the ability to shoot fire from the ARM itself. A Magic stone can turn a substandard, useless weapon ARM into a contender in no time flat. However, even with a Magic Stone, if one does not have sufficient magical power, one cannot hope to bond with an ARM and grow stronger.
Rules/Some more Info
- No godmodding (obviously), for example, you can’t automatically summon a Guardian until you’ve accumulated enough magical power to do so.
- For those wishing to be Chess Pieces = 1 Knight spot, 1 Bishop, and 3 Rook spots are up for grabs; first come, first serve (unless you’re denied). Pawns are unlimited, of course (after all, the Chess does need fresh meat…err…I mean, members ^^) Also know that no position is safe, if a lower ranking member kills you, they’ll automatically be promoted to your former position.
- Any non-Chess Piece member can only have a maximum of 3 ARMs for now; Chess Pieces can carry up to a maximum of 6 ARMs, depending on the class they are in - King and Queen = 6 ARMs; Knights = 5 ARMs; Bishops = 4 ARMs; Rooks and Pawns = 3 ARMs
- For those in Chess, in case you don't know the ranking order: King, Queen, Knight, Bishop, Rook, and Pawn in order from strongest to weakest.
- Every ARM has a weakness, especially Ghost Arms and Darkness Arms; make sure you explain the weakness.
- Magic stones are only applicable for Weapon ARMs; a maximum of 1 Magic stone can be used to augment the Weapon ARM.
- You can't have any duplicate ARMs (e.g. no multiple Andarta's)
- If you use a Guardian ARM, remember that you cannot move while it’s active!
- Speaking of Andarta, remember that it only teleports you to where you have been before...also, there will be a maximum usage of it 2 times a day if you choose it as your ARM.
- Gatekeeper Pierrot and Babbo = banned
- If anyone gets an ARM from battle/events during the RP and it exceeds the totals mentioned, you won't have to unequip an ARM; these are only templates for starting up this RP!
- Have fun!!! Be creative!! You may be rewarded for it -.O

Personality:
History: (Describe your character’s past)
Name: ??? – Ever since he had renounced his humanity, he no longer assumes a human nor a singular name…his aliases are: Omega and King…his lesser subordinates and most of the residents of MAR Heaven only know him as King; to his higher ranked subordinates and the Queen, he is called Omega.
Age: ??? – The last time Omega/King was human, his age was about 28…his actual age since he had renounced his humanity is unknown even to him, for he no longer cares about such petty human thoughts as this…

Rank: King- leader of the Chess Pieces from the shadows
ARMs – Sealed, unsealed, and Chaos modes

Description: By taking off his sealed bandages, Omega/King has become a completely humanoid ARM. His skin has turned dark gray, almost the color of metal…within his arms, there are 3 dents in each of them; a Magic Stone could easily fit inside these holes…
Effect: With this strange form, Omega can fire pitch black flames towards his opponent; these flames will burn for 24 hours, but will not spread to any other objects…also, King can absorb magical power from an opponent by simply touching them.
Magic Stone Info: Since there are 6 slots total in Omega/King’s arms, he can equip up to 6 Magic Stones…although he only has one for now.
Magic Stone #1 – All the King’s Men – Allows Omega/King to summon up to 100 zombified minions from beyond the grave to do his bidding; each of these has the strength of an average Pawn…these minions each carry a thin black sword and have the insignia of the Chess Pieces in place of a face…as this is active, a forcefield is created around him…however, with this ability, Omega/King cannot move at all; plus, once this ability is cancelled or all of the minions are defeated; there is a cooloff time of 15 seconds in which Omega/King cannot attack.

Magic Stone #4 - ???
Magic Stone #5 - ???
Magic Stone #6 - ???
Weakness: In order to obtain this form, Omega/King surrendered his soul and human body to the God of Chaos that was sealed inside the black orb inside of Caldea. Because of this, he is weak against Holy ARMs and also cannot use any other ARMs while in this state…
History: Omega/King made a pact with the God of Chaos in order to obtain the “ultimate body.”

Effect: Once the conditions are met, the ARM itself shatters and a gate appears that is visible in the sky….once it opens, demons begin to swarm about, attacking any non-Chess Piece member in sight.
Weakness: For starters, this can only be activated once Omega/King receives all 6 Magic Stones and starts chanting the spell to activate Hell’s Gate. Also, the gate itself can be destroyed with enough magical power. However, this will not cause the demons that have already appeared in MAR Heaven to disappear (a.k.a you’ll still have to kill them the hard way).
History: It was materialized by the God of Chaos inside the black orb in order to serve his dark purposes.
Name: Iron Maiden
Type: Darkness ARM

Name: Duskblade
Type: Weapon/Darkness ARM
Description: A ring ARM that has a stone of a black upside down cross in it; once it is activated, it takes the shape of a pitch-black sword with red markings on the blade.

Effect: The Black Phoenix has the ability to spit out black flames from its beak and create searing heat waves just from flapping its wings.
Weakness: Besides the usual weakness of being unable to move, the Black Pheonix tends to only last a certain amount of time before it transforms back into a pendant. The Black Pheonix can only be used once a day.
History: While searching for Magic Stones, Omega/King discovered this ARM in a cave, indented against a cave wall.
Name: King’s Cannon
Type: Unique
Description: Has bandages wrapped around his arms, with markings allowing him to use said technique.
Effect: Launches a black, wide energy beam towards an opponent with one or both of his hands; similar to the Phantom Cannon.
Weakness: Since this attack is powerful, it can consume a lot of energy and thus can only be used a maximum of 3 times a day.
Chaos Mode will be revealed later…for plot purposes
Appearance:
Personality: HATES the residents of MAR Heaven and all human non-Chess members; believes in the “strong rules the weak” mentality; is a cruel and calculating fellow.
History: A long time ago, Omega/King used to live in Caldea, filled with dreams to become one of the best ARM masters that he could be. His natural curiosity, plus his advanced magical power allowed him to truly enjoys the many wonders of MAR Heaven. All of that changed, however, once he discovered the ARM treasury room. Poking inside, he discovered a black orb that enticed him with its pulsating power; Omega/King found himself attached to the orb and soon visited it day after day, telling it stories of his life and other adventures he had. One day, he was caught by the Great Grandfather (head of Caldea) and was locked in prison for 3 days.
Once he was released from prison by his parents, it seemed that everything was fine…a huge feast was even prepared for him to celebrate his return…however, after the feast was done and Omega was asleep, what happened the next day would forever shock him…his parents were found dead in the living room, each of them with a sword on their chest. Omega/King had no time to take in this loss, as several of Great Grandfather’s servants came and arrested him. One of them told Omega/King that his parents had committed suicide since they were unable to bear with the task of executing him for the forbidden act of going inside the treasury room…
...After being locked in jail for 3 years and seemingly forgotten about, Omega/King heard a voice deep inside his head…it was the voice of the orb that he had visited many times. It promised Omega/King power and escape from prison if he surrendered his soul and body to the God of Chaos. Omega/King easily accepted this proposal and was immediately filled with a rush of dark energy….breaking free from prison, Omega/King broke into the treasury and stole as many ARMs as he could and the black orb that had enticed him before. After summoning his Black Phoenix and heading towards the outskirts of the Hild Continent, he started to gather together those that shared the same beliefs as him. Thus, the organization known as the Chess Pieces was born...Omega/King and the Chess Pieces then conquered Lestava only 3 weeks after they had formed! As a sign of their victory, they had invoked a magic spell to set the castle high above MAR Heaven. Now, Omega/King seeks out 5 special Magic Stones in order to put his plans into motion...a world without foolish humans.
