Planetman
Magic Eight Ball
Ninja Island is a science fantasy setting that takes place sometime in the far future, when humans have expanded to other star systems beyond earth. Even though there’s spaceships and aliens, it’s not really a sci-fi setting because it contains more fantastical elements and science doesn’t really have a big role in the setting. The main setting of Ninja Island is the island itself, which is located on an Earth-like planet called Aurora, which orbits a star known as Beta Leonis. The Beta Leonis System is under the control of Regulus, who has put his right-hand man Arcturus in charge of the island. Although most of the story is expected to take place on Ninja Island, there are other places in the galaxy, or even parallel worlds, to explore.
A brief history of Ninja Island
Aurora is a planet in the Beta Leonis System. It has a climate similar to Earth’s, but slightly more tropical due to the warmth of Beta Leonis. Like the Earth, Aurora has one satellite that resembles the Earth’s Moon, which has also been named “the Moon.” Unlike Earth’s Moon, Aurora’s Moon is home to an alien species that resembles white rabbits.
Aurora was first inhabited by space wizards who journeyed away from Earth and used their magic powers to explore the planet. A few millennia later, a team of human settlers led by Sougo Shiina, Ken G. Uroninja, Charles Hayase, and Celeste Valentine travelled to the Beta Leonis System and colonized Aurora. They would eventually move towards the way of the ninja and establish Ninja Island as a common meeting place for the many ninja clans. Ninja Island would eventually be turned into a resort under the control of a starman named Arcturus.
Ninja Island would eventually become a popular tourist destination, not just for Auroran humans but also other visitors from many different parts of the galaxy, or even other realms.
Species
Here are some of the many different species in the world of Ninja Island.
Angel
Angels are good beings from the Celestial Realm. They resemble humans, but they also have a halo and white wings. Angels sometimes travel to the material realm on important missions. Most of them can pilot intricately-designed Celestial spacecraft that resemble floating balls of light with six golden wings. Some angels end up on the path of evil. Those angels become fallen angels and they have black or skeletal wings and no halo.
Fiend
Fiends are evil beings from the Netherworld. They have a humanoid appearance, but it is clear that they are not human. All fiends are evil in nature. They are also resistant to fire and heat due to the hot atmosphere of the Netherworld, but they are weak against holy weapons and objects.
Ghost
Ghosts are a Class B undead that can be found all over the galaxy. Many ghosts are the result of an organic life form having unfinished business in the mortal realm after death, but there are various other ways in which ghosts can exist. Ghosts are transparent and can pass through walls. Some of them can even turn invisible and hide from others. The Shadow Dimension is home to many ghosts due to its gloomy atmosphere.
Half-Starman
Half-starmen are half human, half starman. They have half the stamina of a starman and can live slightly longer than humans. Although they cannot breathe in space, half-starmen are still good at learning magic due to being half-starman. Half-starmen can be born with any colour of hair, but their eye colour is the same as humans.
Human
Humans are a species from a planet called Earth, which orbits a star called Sol. However, they also live on other worlds including Mars, Titan, Venus, and Aurora. The most common type of humans in this setting are Auroran humans, who were born in Aurora, but occasionally humans from other planets come to visit. Rare variants of human include Terrans (Earth), Martians (Mars), Titanics (Titan), and Venusians (Venus).
Mineralian
Mineralians are constructs that reside on Mineralis, one of the four satellites orbiting the rocky planet of Kcor. All mineralians were created by a space wizard at the same time thousands of years ago, but it is unknown what brought them to life. Mineralians have crystalline humanoid bodies with no hair. They have bright white eyes and no mouths, but they can understand any language and communicate to others telepathically. All Mineralians are asexual, but they can still feel emotions. Mineralians are colourless and translucent, but they can change colour by wearing a small gem on their forehead known as a headcrystal. Certain headcrystals can also grant Mineralians special powers and abilities. Mineralian names are anagrams of gemstones that can be found on Earth. For example, Dimanod, the name of the ruler of Mineralis, is an anagram of “Diamond.”
Shadow
Shadows are an alternate universe counterpart of humans, except that they live in the Shadow Dimension. Shadows can only have black hair and black eyes. Most of them have personalities associated with negativity, but that could just be due to the gloomy atmosphere of the Shadow Dimension. A shadow and their human counterpart will always view the other as an enemy.
Starman
Starmen are a species not native to any world, but they can be found anywhere in the galaxy. Starmen resemble humans, but they can only have silver, light grey, or black hair. Their eyes can be any bright colour. Starmen have the ability to breathe in space, and they also live twice as long as humans. They can also access a more powerful form using a device known as a Nova Driver, which is worn on the wrist. Most starmen are born into positions of power, but this power can either be used for evil or good.
Succubus/Incubus
Succubi and Incubi are beings from the Netherworld. They resemble humans more than fiends, but in their true forms they have bright red eyes, small bat wings, a tail, and small horns. Succubi and Incubi are created at the same time in pairs, and are used by fiends to try and lure people into the Netherworld. However, unlike fiends, who are evil by nature, succubi and incubi can turn good or at least neutral if they spent enough time outside the Netherworld and become fond of their new environment. They have the ability to shapeshift into other humanoids and read minds. A succubus has never been seen in the same room as her incubus counterpart, and vice versa.
The Climax Card System
Climax Cards are a very powerful item in the world of Ninja Island. Discovered by Charles Hayase and shared among the other leaders of the Earth expedition that settled in Aurora, these cards have the ability to multiply power. However, they also come at a cost. Climax Cards require a lot of energy based on whoever the user is, which can be very disastrous if the person using the Climax Card isn’t powerful enough.
Not everyone on Ninja Island can use a Climax Card. Angels, fiends, and mineralians are unable to use Climax Cards at all.
A Climax Card resembles a normal playing card, but in the right hands, it can be used to infuse the user with a large amount of power. The user’s power is then multiplied by the number on the card. 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings all multiply the user’s power by 10. Aces are too powerful for anyone to use.
Climax Card-users are divided into four suits: Spades, Diamonds, Hearts, and Clubs. Spade Climax Card-users focus more on power, Diamond Climax Card-users focus more on agility and guile, Heart Climax Card-users focus more on emotion and manipulating the area around them, and Club Climax Card-users focus more on knowledge and spell-casting. Spade Climax card-users have high Power, Diamond Climax Card-users have high Agility, Heart Climax Card-users have high Charisma, and Club Climax Card-users have high Knowledge. Climax Card-users can only use Climax Cards associated with their suit.
The most powerful member of a Suit is considered the Ace of that suit. There can only be 4 Aces at the same time, one for each suit. For example, there can be one Ace of Diamonds and one Ace of Spades, but there cannot be two Aces of Diamonds at the same time. The title of Ace is passed down to someone else either if the Ace dies or if an Ace voluntarily passes on the title to someone else.
There are only two Joker Climax Cards in existence. A single Joker Climax Card has the power to multiply a user’s power by 100, but if both Joker Climax Cards are used together, the user’s power is multiplied by 10,000. It is very rare for someone to be able to use a Joker Climax Card. Most people who have used Joker Climax Cards were Heart Climax Card-users, because of their strong emotions.
Locations
Ninja Island
Ninja Island is a large island resort with a lot of history as a meeting place for the various ninja organizations of Aurora. Now, it has been converted into a resort. The island is a popular tourist destination not just for the humans living in Aurora, but also for visitors from other realms. The staff of the resort are all trained in the way of the ninja.
Visitors from Aurora can get to Ninja Island by plane, spaceship, or gateway. Despite being an island, there is no official way to arrive on Ninja Island by sea. After arriving either from the airport or the parking lot, there is a path that leads to the main building of Ninja Island Resort. The entrance has a reception area, a maid cafe, and a gateway that allows visitors from faraway planets to come to Ninja Island.
There are many rooms in Ninja Island, which are found in a separate building from the main one. When guests book a room, that room is automatically customized to suit the guest’s needs and interests. The only exception is the penthouse, located on the top floor, which is considered the be the best room in the entire resort that it doesn’t need to be customized. The upper floors in the main building contain office space, and the top floor of the main building is the office of the manager of Ninja Island. Arcturus, the CEO of Ninja Island, does not have an office because he prefers to work in his personal spaceship.
Outside the buildings, there are many activities to do in Ninja Island. There is also a large stadium used for gladiator fights and other similar events. Far from where the resort guests stay, on the other side of the island there is a mysterious monolith. The monolith is actually a seal that contains a very powerful entity with enough power to destroy the world, known as Ultima. The seal prevents Ultima from ever escaping, and the conditions needed to break the seal are too specific for anyone to attempt this.
Outside of Ninja Island
There are other places to visit on Aurora that aren’t on Ninja Island. Here are some of them.
Skull Island
Skull Island is another island near Ninja Island, known for a large mountain on the island in the shape of a skull. The island was first visited by evil space wizards, particularly necromancers, who began performing experiments on the island. Millenia later, when humans settled on Aurora, Skull Island became a haven for pirates and treasure hunters, and when Ninja Island was made into a resort, Skull Island became a tourist attraction. It is still used as an evil lair by some villains who remain hidden on the island. There is a magic door on the island that takes people to the Shadow Dimension on Crossbones Island, the Shadow Dimension counterpart of Skull Island.
Wanderland Cafe
Wanderland Cafe is a cafe used as a front for the secret headquarters of the Hayase bloodline of ninjas. The only drink served is tea, but what brings most customers to this place is the weirdness of the cafe. On the outside of the cafe there is a dodo bird statue on the roof and an unused guillotine next to the entrance. Another weird thing about the cafe is that it is larger on the inside than it appears on the outside. This cafe is also a sanctuary for moon rabbits, and it is one of the only places where people can commonly find moon rabbits besides Aurora’s Moon. People who eat and drink the food recommend not to eat or drink anything with the words “Eat me” or “Drink me” on it because people who have done so have reported seeing things larger or smaller than they actually are.
Shiina Manor
Shiina Manor is the home and main base of operations for the Shiina bloodline of ninjas, who are the descendants of Captain Sougo Shiina, one of the four humans in charge of the Earth expedition that settled on Aurora. As a result, the Shiinas are the most influential bloodline in Aurora. The manor resembles a Japanese castle and has enough room for every member of the main Shiina bloodline alive.
Club Emerald Casino
Club Emerald Casino is a casino owned by the Direct Scorpio Information Institute. It resembles an average casino but it has green lights and emerald-green three-leaf-clover imagery everywhere.
Organizations & Groups
Here are some organizations that are important to the Ninja Island Lore.
Darkprism
Darkprism is the name of a planet in the Beta Leonis System. It is also the name of the organization that operates on the planet. Originally beginning as a penal colony for dangerous criminals exiled from Aurora, the entire planet of Darkprism took control of itself and became its own faction. This organization has its own armada, and they usually send agents to other planets either to capture escaped prisoners, or for their own evil purposes. Darkprism forces can be easily recognized by their black and purple uniforms.
Diamond Star Inc.
Diamond Star Inc. is the name of the company that owns Ninja Island. Its CEO is Arcturus, who is always being accompanied by his secretary Spica, his bodyguard Denebola, and his servant Cor Caroli. The four of them operate from under the shadows, and Arcturus also works for Regulus, the ruler of the Beta Leonis System and the rest of his empire.
Direct Scorpio Information Institute
The Direct Scorpio Information Institute is an intergalactic organization owned by Mark Scorpio. It owns the Cyberninja Tech Company and the Club Emerald Casino. Thanks to this, the Direct Scorpio Information Institue has access to a large supply of cyborg ninjas known as Cyberninjas. Mark Scorpio is also the half-starman son of king Antares Scorpio, a rival of Regulus.
House Hayase
House Hayase is a ninja clan centered around a bloodline of ninjas descended from Charles Hayase, a mad scientist who found out how to bring back the dodo bird to life. The Hayase house operates from within Wanderland Cafe, and their main focus is on the suit of Hearts. The current head of House Hayase is Hakuto Hayase, who can’t stand unpunctuality. The previous Ace of Hearts, Alice, was a member of House Hayase, but then one day, she fell down a hole and went into a coma after chasing after a moon rabbit. What most people don’t realize is that she has recovered from the coma and travels the galaxy as a bounty hunter known as the “Red Queen.” The colors of House Hayase are light blue, scarlet, and white, but there is no official ninja uniform. The symbols of House Hayase are a dodo, a white rabbit, and a red heart.
House Scorpio
House Scorpio is the house of Antares Scorpio, the ruler of the Scorpio Kingdom. It is associated with the suit of Clubs. The symbol of House Scorpio is an orange scorpion with a green 3-leaf clover on its tail and its colors are silver, orange, and emerald green. Antares Scorpio used to be the Ace of Clubs until he gave up the position so he could accept his position as king of the Scorpio Kingdom.
House Shiina
House Shiina is a ninja clan centered around a bloodline of ninjas descended from Sougo Shiina, who also declared himself the very first Shinobi Of Radiant Action. The title of Shinobi Of Radiant Action is very important to the Shiina bloodline, and as a result most Aces of Diamonds have had the title. House Shiina is associated with Diamonds. The current heads of the Shiina house are Shotaro Shiina and his wife Sayaka Shiina. Other members of House Shiina who are still alive include Shingo Shiina and his sisters Sayumi Shiina, Shizuka Shiina, Shiori Shiina, Shingo’s wife Satori Shiina, and their two sons, Shinji Shiina and Shinsuke Shiina. The colors of House Shiina are black and gold, but the Shinobi Of Radiant Action wears a white and gold ninja suit with black accents. The symbol of House Shiina is a gold diamond.
Orchid Ninja Corps
The Orchid Ninja Corps is a secret ninja organization that only follows the orders of the Ace of Spades. They always know who the Ace of Spades is. Orchid Ninjas are usually seen wearing black ninja suits with orchid-colored accents.
REMU
The Reconnaissance Espionage Master Unit, also known as REMU, is a secret organization of ninjas that aren’t tied down to any specific bloodline. Founded by Ken G. Uroninja and his brother Genji Uroninja, REMU operates in the shadows of Aurora. It is most commonly associated with the suit of Spades, and its members mostly use Spade Climax Cards. The leader of REMU is someone who goes by the alias “Master Rei,” but her true identity is unknown. REMU ninjas wear black and blue uniforms with silver accents.
Bestiary
Here’s a list of creatures that might appear in the setting of Ninja Island, specifically the world of Aurora.
Behemoth
Alignment: true neutral
Can be used as familiar?: No
The Behemoth is a colossal giant that resembles a dinosaur. It has a spiky shell and two horns on its head. The Behemoth is very dangerous, and it does not always show up, but when it does, it tends to rampage and destroy nearby cities or other monsters that dare to challenge its dominance.
Cyberninja
Alignment: lawful neutral
Can be used as familiar?: No
Cyberninjas are cyborg ninjas created by the Cyberninja Tech Company, which is owned by the Direct Scorpio Information Institute.

Dragon
Alignment: any
Can be used as familiar?: Yes (wyrmling only)
Dragons, also known as wyrms, are powerful creatures found in legends all over the multiverse and beyond. Only a few people have ever seen a dragon up close, but many people agree that they have large wings, a reptilian appearance, a long tail, and some type of breath weapon. A few dragons have settled on different parts of Aurora, but it is rare for someone to ever encounter a dragon unless they are seeking one.
Dragons usually dwell in caves, isolated from populated places. They gather hoards of treasure, which were either given to the dragon to pay tribute, or taken as a result of the dragon plundering the city and taking the treasure for themselves. Dragon hoards grow over time as a dragon ages, and some dragons can live for hundreds of years. A dragon that just hatched from its egg is called a wyrmling. Dragons born and bred by humans or starmen can be tamed as a mount or guard for the person who raised the dragon since birth.
Moon rabbit
Alignment: true neutral
Can be used as familiar?: Yes
Moon rabbits are the name given to a species of alien creature that lives on the satellite orbiting Aurora. They resemble white rabbits that can be found on Earth almost perfectly. It is very rare to find one outside of Aurora’s Moon.
Poltergeist
Alignment: any chaotic alignment
Can be used as familiar?: Maybe
Poltergeists are an invisible Class B undead. They spent time in abandoned buildings and dark rooms, especially if the place is meaningful to a recently deceased person.

Redcap
Alignment: chaotic neutral
Can be used as familiar?: No
Redcaps are small walking fungus creatures that resemble red mushrooms with white spots, specifically the amanita muscaria/fly agaric, but with tiny arms and legs. Redcaps don’t attack anyone unprovoked. They can communicate by releasing spores into the air. Anyone who comes into contact with these spores can understand what the redcap is saying. Redcaps are almost always found in groups and they prefer to stay in shady forests and caves.
Skeleton
Alignment: lawful evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Skeletons are a Class C undead created by animating bones through necromancy. They are used by evil magic-users as minions and servants. Skeletons can follow orders, but they can only perform simple tasks, which makes them perfect for guarding and patrolling evil lairs.
Skeleton, shadow
Alignment: neutral evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Sometimes, a skeleton will be infused with the power of the Shadow Dimension. The result is a shadow skeleton, which is more dangerous than a regular skeleton. Anyone who gets attacked by a shadow skeleton can feel their life force being slowly drained away from them. Shadow skeleton skulls are very valuable to evil magic-users because anyone in the possession of three shadow skeleton skulls can use them to summon a very powerful and destructive dark force of evil.
Slime
Alignment: true neutral
Can be used as familiar?: Yes, but why would you?
Slimes are a common type of monster found in the underground areas of Aurora. They come in many different bright colors, but the most common colors of slime are lime green and bright blue.

Some people use slimes to guard their lairs and wear out anyone trying to take their treasure or infiltrate the lair.
Specter
Alignment: neutral evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Specters are a Class B undead that resemble ghosts, but they are more violent in nature. Specters are the spirits of people who died in violent ways, and they usually seek vengeance against whoever killed them in life. Unlike ghosts, specters are more difficult to be reasoned with.

Alignment: chaotic evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Vargloths are large, humanoid creatures with spikes on their shoulders and back, long, sharp claws, 5 eyes on their faces and extremely sharp fangs. They grow very slowly, but their growth rate increases when someone nearby feels angry or violent.
A Vargloth first appears as a crimson bulb that sprouts in areas where violence is more present. After absorbing enough violent feelings, the Vargloth fully blooms into its humanoid form. It will then start targeting anyone that attacks it to become stronger. Attacking the Vargloth will only make it stronger, but Vargloths are weak against ice and cold attacks.
Wraith
Alignment: neutral evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Wraiths are a very powerful Class B undead. They are spirits of pure evil, born from a combination of an evil spirit and the essence of the Shadow Dimension. A wraith has the ability to turn people it destroys into specters that serve the wraith.
Zombie
Alignment: chaotic evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Zombies are a Class C undead created by reanimating a corpse. They walk very slowly and cannot follow orders. As a result, zombies are only dangerous in large numbers. Zombies can either be created through necromancy or some kind of zombie virus.

Behemoth
Alignment: true neutral
Can be used as familiar?: No

Cyberninja
Alignment: lawful neutral
Can be used as familiar?: No
Cyberninjas are cyborg ninjas created by the Cyberninja Tech Company, which is owned by the Direct Scorpio Information Institute. Cyberninjas are created by fusing the soul of a fallen warrior with a robotic body.

Dragon
Alignment: any
Can be used as familiar?: Yes (wyrmling only)
Dragons, also known as wyrms, are powerful creatures found in legends all over the multiverse and beyond. Only a few people have ever seen a dragon up close, but many people agree that they have large wings, a reptilian appearance, a long tail, and some type of breath weapon. A few dragons have settled on different parts of Aurora, but it is rare for someone to ever encounter a dragon unless they are seeking one.
Dragons usually dwell in caves, isolated from populated places. They gather hoards of treasure, which were either given to the dragon to pay tribute, or taken as a result of the dragon plundering the city and taking the treasure for themselves. Dragon hoards grow over time as a dragon ages, and some dragons can live for hundreds of years. A dragon that just hatched from its egg is called a wyrmling. Dragons born and bred by humans or starmen can be tamed as a mount or guard for the person who raised the dragon since birth.
Moon rabbit
Alignment: true neutral
Can be used as familiar?: Yes
Moon rabbits are the name given to a species of alien creature that lives on the satellite orbiting Aurora. They resemble white rabbits that can be found on Earth almost perfectly. It is very rare to find one outside of Aurora’s Moon.
Poltergeist
Alignment: any chaotic alignment
Can be used as familiar?: Maybe
Poltergeists are an invisible Class B undead. They spent time in abandoned buildings and dark rooms, especially if the place is meaningful to a recently deceased person. Poltergeists are mischievous spirits who like to scare intruders. This is usually done by moving objects around or writing scary messages.
Redcap
Alignment: chaotic neutral
Can be used as familiar?: No
Redcaps are small walking fungus creatures that resemble red mushrooms with white spots, specifically the amanita muscaria/fly agaric, but with tiny arms and legs. Redcaps don’t attack anyone unprovoked. They can communicate by releasing spores into the air. Anyone who comes into contact with these spores can understand what the redcap is saying. Redcaps are almost always found in groups and they prefer to stay in shady forests and caves.
Skeleton
Alignment: lawful evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Skeletons are a Class C undead created by animating bones through necromancy. They are used by evil magic-users as minions and servants. Skeletons can follow orders, but they can only perform simple tasks, which makes them perfect for guarding and patrolling evil lairs.
Skeleton, shadow
Alignment: neutral evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Sometimes, a skeleton will be infused with the power of the Shadow Dimension. The result is a shadow skeleton, which is more dangerous than a regular skeleton. Anyone who gets attacked by a shadow skeleton can feel their life force being slowly drained away from them. Shadow skeleton skulls are very valuable to evil magic-users because anyone in the possession of three shadow skeleton skulls can use them to summon a very powerful and destructive dark force of evil.
Slime
Alignment: true neutral
Can be used as familiar?: Yes, but why would you?
Slimes are a common type of monster found in the underground areas of Aurora. They come in many different bright colors, but the most common colors of slime are lime green and bright blue. Slimes are very small, but also very weak. Despite being weak, slimes can still slowly eat away at organic material, as their slime is acidic. Some people use slimes to guard their lairs and wear out anyone trying to take their treasure or infiltrate the lair.
Specter
Alignment: neutral evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Specters are a Class B undead that resemble ghosts, but they are more violent in nature. Specters are the spirits of people who died in violent ways, and they usually seek vengeance against whoever killed them in life. Unlike ghosts, specters are more difficult to be reasoned with.
Vargloth
Alignment: chaotic evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Vargloths are large, humanoid creatures with spikes on their shoulders and back, long, sharp claws, 5 eyes on their faces and extremely sharp fangs. They grow very slowly, but their growth rate increases when someone nearby feels angry or violent.
A Vargloth first appears as a crimson bulb that sprouts in areas where violence is more present. After absorbing enough violent feelings, the Vargloth fully blooms into its humanoid form. It will then start targeting anyone that attacks it to become stronger. Attacking the Vargloth will only make it stronger, but Vargloths are weak against ice and cold attacks.
Wraith
Alignment: neutral evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Wraiths are a very powerful Class B undead. They are spirits of pure evil, born from a combination of an evil spirit and the essence of the Shadow Dimension. A wraith has the ability to turn people it destroys into specters that serve the wraith.
Zombie
Alignment: chaotic evil
Can be used as familiar?: No
Zombies are a Class C undead created by reanimating a corpse. They walk very slowly and cannot follow orders. As a result, zombies are only dangerous in large numbers. Zombies can either be created through necromancy or some kind of zombie virus.
