Sunday

Appearance

Sunday is a young man with fair skin and eyes with golden irises and navy pupils. He has smooth, shoulder-length silver hair with a fringe swept up to the left. He has wings of a similar color behind his ears. The left wing is pierced with two gold stud earrings. He has a gold halo with details resembling eyes behind his head, which represents his Halovian heritage.

Outfit

Sunday now wears a long-sleeved tailcoat, his sleeves stopping at just below the elbow. The tails of his coat are separated into five sections. The right side of his coat is white, while the left side is dark blue. There are several golden ornaments on his coat, along with white straps that cross along his body. He also wears long black gloves, black pants with tall dark blue and black boots. The inside of his coat is golden, and he has a flowy white scarf with a golden underside and decorum.

Halovians

The dignified Halovians are stars and icons across the universe. They possess voices and appearances that can shake one's soul, halos that dazzle gazes, and wings behind their ears that paint them in a divine disposition. They seem born into the love and admiration of other species and peoples. Halovians are blessed with shrewdness and few can peer past their mysterious and elegant smiles. However, the Halovians do not hide their hearts from everyone, and the radiating frequencies of their halo can convey the nature of their thoughts in the form of telepathy. As of present, the Halovians often bear responsibilities in the Oak and Iris Families, and every Halovian in Penacony is a member of The Family, using their natural charisma to expand the influence of Harmony. The Halovians' halos in reality have no tangible form. They are condensed energy projections that can even flicker during emotional disturbances or when telepathy is used. There is no concern about a halo becoming stuck. Furthermore, upon entering the Dreamscape, while it's true that the energy halo transforms into a physical entity under the influence of memoria, its position can be adjusted at will while within the dream, much like adjusting a hat. They are said to be cool and smooth to the touch, described as an "amazing" texture. Additionally, it is believed that all Halovians only have a basic circle when they are born. As they age, the halo evolves into various shapes reflecting their experiences and personality traits. Some special Halovians may even be able to transform their halo into any shape they desire.

Powers

All Halovians are said to be able to read minds. The range of their ability isn't that big and usually won't work more than 6–10 feet away. Halovians can also use their telepathy to communicate with one another without speaking. Also, Halovians with strong powers of Harmony are said to be able to use their singing and language to manipulate others. It's said some Halovian Pathstriders can even unleash psychic attacks to stun a person or reduce their intelligence to zero, though this remains to be seen. Robin has been seen using her voice of Harmony for tuning in order to changed a person's state of mind for them to feel more at ease and analyzing other people's state of mind. Sunday has been seen using his voice of Harmony to perform the Harmony's consecration on an individual in order for them to show allegiance to the Harmony. However, deceit can transform the consecration into a trial, which Sunday implied he could absolve or decide the terms and punishments. For example, should the individual succeed, they may be able to coalesce into the Harmony. Failure could be met by suffering the wrath of the Aelenev, the Eternal Centurion.

Robin

Robin is Sunday's sister, Halovian singer born in Penacony and rose to cosmic fame. An elegant and demure young lady. This time, she has been invited home by The Family to grace everyone with a song at the Charmony Festival. She can use the power of Harmony to broadcast her music, manifesting "resonance" among not only her fans but all manner of lifeforms.

Penacony

Penacony, also known as the "Planet of Festivities", is a planet currently administered by The Family in the Asdana star system. The Planet of Festivities in the Asdana star system, also known as Land of the Dreams. A luxurious hotel positioned above the fathomless sky, Penacony is also a vacation spot where interstellar celebrities party the days away and the affluent from diverse words revel in lavish ventures. People flock here in search of dreams they've longed for or have already buried, and through Dreampools in the hotel are transported to a realm of dreams where everything can come true. Rarely do guests pay attention to Penacony's heavy past. A millennium ago, it was a frontier prison established by the IPC. Exiled prisoners must survive an arduous journey across vast distances to reach this location, and are then forced to take up a duty: To mend the leak through which memoria seeps into the galaxy. As they labor while being exposed to memoria, the prisoners gradually discovered themselves entering a captivating shared dream world, where they obtained a single shared desire — freedom.

Past in Penacony

During the Charmony Festival in 2158 AE, the legendary tycoon, known as the Watchmaker, sent a galaxy-wide invitation, summoning various factions to Penacony to compete for his invaluable legacy. Sunday takes the Dreammaster's side in the prior negotiations and cages Robin and Welt under his control. He also clearly reveals his intentions to everyone but indicates he does not wish to fight anyone. The Astral Express accepts Sunday's challenge to a duel and successfully arrive at the Penacony Grand Theater. Here, they shall decide upon the fate of Penacony and the universe itself with Sunday. Black Swan reveals a bone-chilling truth: It turns out that the Express Crew — and everyone in Penacony — had actually lost the fight against Sunday. There were no survivors. However, The Express Crew has seen through the illusion of Ena's Dream. They wake countless people drowning in this sweet dream and finally defeat Sunday, the Embryo of Philosophy, with everyone's wish and support. Eventually, the Astral Express and its crew emerged victorious in this unprecedented festival, averting a grim future where the Cosmos would have become a hollow dream of a dead Aeon. Under the guidance of the Trailblaze, the Planet of Festivities, once lost in revelry, returned to wakefulness. Its people no longer surrendered themselves to the Dreamscape but instead embraced the power to confront reality.

Astral Express

The Astral Express was created by Akivili using unknown methods. Legends claim that Akivili's heart powers the core of the Express, although Himeko has found no evidence to support that claim. Shortly after the fall of Akivili, a loyal group of Nameless took THEIR trailblazing legacy upon themselves. However, the star rail became obstructed as Stellarons began spreading across the galaxy, preventing the Express from running. It eventually fell into disrepair and was abandoned. The known passengers of the Astral express are Himeko, Welt Yang, March 7th, Dan Heng and Stelle. Sunday hopes to board the Astral Express as a temporary passenger and continue his ascetic journey to find paradise.

Xianzhou

In an ancient era of legends, multiple Xianzhou ships were tasked with voyaging across the stars to search for the miracle medicine of immortality. The endless voyage took its toll on Xianzhou, wearing away its conviction and shape over the long years, until their eventual encounter with Yaoshi. However, all that the fruit of immortality brought upon them were sorrows, poverty, and endless war and death. It wasn't until Lan, the Aeon of The Hunt, returned from the Abyss. Using gravity as bowstring and stars as arrows, Lan shattered the Ambrosial Arbor and put the wickedness of Abundance to an end. After Xianzhou returned to the righteous path, it formed an alliance under the guidance of The Hunt and formed a powerful army known as the Cloud Knights. The alliance's goals were to patrol the world and eradicate all Abominations of Abundance, and put an end to the corruption of the undead.

Xianzhou

Over the years, the Xianzhou Alliance landed on a great number of worlds that used to enjoy the grace of gods. They eradicated countless undead abominations. Any civilization that worshiped Abundance had to consider the possible threat of the Xianzhou destroying their planet. This kind of deterrence was precisely what the Xianzhou Alliance is hoping to be. They want to be seen as the constant red line for those greedy for immortality, becoming the price that none dares to pay. The Xianzhou Alliance was established by the Xianzhou Natives, who were present on all ships. After being rescued from their dying homeworld, the Vidyadhara established themselves on at least five of the six ships, with each of the ships having a High Elder, barring the Xuling. After Glaciator Marum signed the covenant with the Xianzhou Alliance on behalf of the Vidyadhara and the five High Elders, they agreed to keep watch over the respective plaguemarks of each Xianzhou ship, and the Alliance granted the Vidyadhara the Fanghu to rule as an autonomous ship. After the Alliance saved them from enslavement under the borisin, the Foxians became the third major race across the Alliance, becoming the dominant culture on the Yaoqing.

Xianzhou

To this day, countless souls have gathered upon Xianzhou, all bearing the will of The Hunt and the intent of seeking revenge on the ravaging Abundance. They will not rest until the complete eradication of the Deathless Doom, and their cosmic tours will not end. People know very little about the mysterious existence that dwells in the vast stellar seas. With the limitation of knowledge, intelligent lifeforms can only faintly discern that Aeons tread upon paths imperceptible to mortal beings and execute unfathomable powers via some form of belief. In the end, the Aeons became an embodiment of highly condensed concepts of philosophy through the word of mouth spread of their legends.

Aeons

People know very little about the mysterious existence that dwells in the vast stellar seas. With the limitation of knowledge, intelligent lifeforms can only faintly discern that Aeons tread upon paths imperceptible to mortal beings and execute unfathomable powers via some form of belief. In the end, the Aeons became an embodiment of highly condensed concepts of philosophy through the word of mouth spread of their legends. If anyone finds themselves treading on the Path of an Aeon, they will be inundated by a distant sensation, like being struck by a gaze from light-years across the cosmos. Many believe that this is the only connection the Aeons and mortals can ever have.

IPC

To outsiders, the IPC (Interastral Peace Corporation) is an enormous consortium advocating free trade. From a business perspective, the IPC is a business that issues money and monopolizes resources. From a startup perspective, the IPC is a selfless support group dedicated to the Aeon of Preservation.
