- octem
- the synopsismany years ago, when the council of elders was first formed and assembled, there were a handful of voices among the faceless citizens of octem, few and far between, who were dissatisfied with the rule of the council. they banded together, forming a rebellion with a plot to overthrow the council of elders. when word of their plan reached the council, the new leaders had the rebels banished to the forest behind the giving tree as a punishment, ultimately forcing them to wander out the rest of their lives in there, gradually going mad.
of course, reality wasn't quite so simple. while the rumours about hearing voices in the forest were true, they didn't always drive people insane. in fact, for the first time in aeons, the voices guided this group of punished people, leading them through a waterfall and to a cave that took them underground, right below the giving tree.
several years later, the area underfoot the giving tree known as caveromnis, is now a thriving community, dedicated to healing the giving tree and ensuring that it doesn't lose its power. what other citizens of octem don't know is that when a new set of people obtain their powers every year, they are essentially robbing the tree of its power and vivacity. the tree's life force is seeping, little by little, and one day, it may not have any power left to give.
in an attempt to put a stop to the giving tree's impending demise, and in an effort to reveal the council's true nature to the people of octem, seven people in caveromnis volunteered themselves to reenter the world aboveground again. their memories were wiped by the giving tree, but in their place, they were gifted something a little extra โ a small spark, you could call it. it's not something they even realised they had, and it's certainly not something they would ever come to use. no, that spark will only reveal itself years later, once a generation had passed.
when these seven people wandered out of the forest, memories mysteriously erased, the council of elders made a decision. they had seven strangers and octem had seven (official) divisions, so they were all evenly distributed in each of the divisions with the hope that they'd just settle in. the hope was that life would go on as normal, that seven insignificant strangers would not tip the scales of the cosmos.
for a while, that's exactly how it went. these seven people settled in their new divisions and their new lives -- some accepted it, some believed something didn't feel right, but regardless, there wasn't really anything they could do about it. they raised their families and their children went on to participate in the customary ritual held by the council every year, in order to acquire their powers and work in whichever division they chose.
what this new generation didn't know was that the spark that had been given to one of their parents now sat within them, and the giving tree decided that the moment for it to awaken was upon them. someone was selected from caveromnis to masquerade themselves as a normal octem citizen in each of the divisions, meeting each of the chosen to essentially awaken that spark. these seven descendants would all ultimately find themselves at the forest where they could be led to caveromnis, a place most people believed to be a myth.
time is running out for the tree, and nobody truly knows what the council's plans are. while these eight youngsters may have been unaware of the situation before, it's now up to them to help restore the tree's power โ and hopefully put an end to the council of elders' rampant corruption once and for all. - the rolesterramahavirathey're not exactly from a well off family but they've never let that drag their spirit down. they're the eldest in a big family and as a result they feel responsible for taking care of their siblings and their ill father. but taking care of such a large family isn't easy, especially given their financial situation, so they had to resort to other means to try and make money. what started out as something small eventually became more dangerous. they became a smuggler, of sorts, and are thus well informed of all the underhanded ways to get in and out of any of the divisions in octem without having to rely on the transport hubs. despite this, they maintain their peaceful stance and rarely meet situations with violence. this is why the issue of the giving tree is met with some discomfort. they are determined to help restore the tree to power, given their closeness with the earth, but they are unsure about putting an end to the council because that sort of conflict was never what they stood for.

norwoodborn and raised in lacus, they've always had dreams of being a member of the council. having that kind of influence over so many people sounded like a dream and they always believed they were destined for great things. lacus, however, wasn't really the type of place that would allow them to shine. given ventus' loyalty to the council, they knew where they could thrive, and they chose to make that change when the yearly ritual came about. they were much happier feeding information to the elders in the hopes that it would get them recognised enough to rise through the ranks and hopefully become ventus' representative on the council. after being chosen by the tree, they think their time for recognition has finally come. all they need to do is play the role of a double agent to sabotage the entire operation from the inside โ that kind of loyalty might just be enough to put them in a position of power within the council.

ventuslacushypatiathey were born and raised in ventus but they always believed they were much smarter than the people in their division. a place like lacus would be much better suited to their skills, and it was a place where they'd be more appreciated rather than be used as a snitch by the council of elders. after switching over to their new division, they found themselves feeling happier despite having to leave family behind. upon learning about the tree and caveromnis, they feel conflicted. on one hand, they're proud to have been chosen by the tree itself among a whole division of people with high intelligence. on the other hand though, they're also smart enough to determine which side of this impending war is most likely to come out of it victorious. they find themselves having to decide on whether to rely on logic or whether to do the right thing. for all they know, their choice could make all the difference.

alaricthey were born to fight, and they were trained to fight for most of their life. at the moment, they're easily one of the best warriors in all of ignatia โ and arguably all of octem. they've dedicated their life to fighting to protect octem and its leaders. they are surprisingly not as hotheaded as many of their ignatian peers, they seem quite happy with where they've gotten. it seems, however, that the situation with the giving tree may change a lot of things. their sole job is to make sure no harm would ever come to the council of elders but now they're forced to choose between protecting them or fighting against them. it seems like most of their childhood may have been a lie, and as a result they feel quite conflicted. it doesn't help that one of their parents happens to be the ignatian representative on the council of elders.

ignatialuxrayhanthey're used to living a life of luxury and not so much used to working too hard. everything's always been handed to them on a silver platter even if their father's been absent for a large chunk of their life. despite having everything they could ever possibly need or want, they're actually much smarter than they let on โ they just prefer to act dumb and let others do the work for them. being chosen from lux to help restore the tree and take down the council isn't exactly something they're completely on board with. not only would it jeopardise the privileged life they've led up until now, it also requires more effort than they're willing to provide to a cause that doesn't largely benefit them. who knows though? maybe the fact that they have a long lost half sibling may change their mind. either way, they're an essential asset to the team like everyone else โ if they convince themselves to finally use their skills with technology.

kumazothey honestly don't know much about what goes on outside of umbria. given that the people in their division mostly keep to themselves, their parents sheltered them for most of their life. they told them stories of other divisions while painting a scary and inaccurate picture of the kind of life that awaited them anywhere outside of umbria โ all in an attempt to keep them close by. this is, unfortunately, the only kind of affection they've received throughout their life. umbria is known for their harsh weather conditions but many would argue that the citizens of umbria are even colder. love and affection aren't common around those parts, and after being introduced to a world like caveromnis seeing that the world isn't at all like their parents made it out to be, the chosen one from umbria is growing more and more curious. though they won't admit it out loud, it feels nice to be away from home and to be surrounded by warmth. it's not something they're used to โ in weather and in people.

umbriaomeniaflaminiafame is all they've ever known. since they were a child, they've been in the spotlight making a name for themselves as an actor. there are hardly any people in all of octem who don't know who they are. over the years, however, they've felt a little restricted. money and recognition are both great things but they're starting to realise they may want a change in career paths and they're not overly fond of the fact that everyone in octem has to stick with the same occupation once they made their choice at the age of sixteen. having grown up in omenia, the official seat of the council of elders, they also harbour some suspicions about octem's leaders, so the news about the giving tree and caveromnis couldn't have come at a better time. despite omenia's tendency to suck up to the elders, this particular chosen one seems to be perfectly fine with the idea of putting an end to the council.

zahrawithough they are still unaware of it, their mother died when they were a newborn. their father, unable to deal with the loss and having to take care of a child all on his own, volunteered to be one of the seven to be sent above ground. he settled into a new division with his memories wiped and started a new family in lux while the chosen one from caveromnis was raised by a family friend, believing all along that this person is their biological parent. they were educated about the tree at a young age because they were chosen by the tree to be the one to awaken the spark in the others once the time came. because they've been privy to this knowledge while growing up, they've remained dedicated to the cause and they're determined to help restore the giving tree's power. though it isn't official, most of the others look to them as a sort of leader for the group.
