About

This whole story and the characters are based on an RP, which we only started to our own amusement.
The characters came first, the story developed more or less on its own, as the RP went on. We’re fully aware of the fact that not everything makes perfect sense, it isn’t very original or anything. We just had fun playing, and we love our characters.
TTFA takes place in a fictional world, that is similar to ours but different in many ways.
The story so far takes place in a certain area of a country, comparable with a federal state.
In this world, people are able to create their own weapons to fight in fair battles and to protect themselves.
To get a better explanation, I tried to translate some of the keywords that will help you to understand better what I'm talking about:

Vis - A power that is inside of every human and can be activated and trained to create a weapon.

Visins - The people who intentionally chose to become fighters with these weapons.

Weapon - You can’t chose your weapon, it becomes what suits you best in one or another way. The weapon consists of pure Vis and willpower. It can’t be touched by other people. A weapon can only be as strong as the will of the person who is using it.

Somarmer - Are people that don’t get a weapon, but ARE the weapon. Their senses and reflexes are better than the ones of ordinary people, they're stronger, faster and their wounds heal faster too. They’re much more vulnerable though.

In this world now, the fighting system has a long tradition which goes back to a time when there were still many wars between different nations. A legend says that only a Visin who fulfilled various tasks and fought various battles and went a long and winding way will be a real worthy Visin who can fight proudly and with the purest strenght of the Vis.
Nowadays people still cling to the legend in a modern way of thinking. The competing battles have become a great part of their culture. A Visin tries to learn as much as possible by battling and to purify his Vis in order to become stronger. Some of the Visin believe in these things in a spiritual way, some in an athletic way and some only fight to gain more power and reputation.
Maybe I should mention that it doesn’t make you stronger in a direct way if you win against someone in a battle, it just gives you more experience. But you can still fight against Abdicationer or become one yourself.

Abdicationer - Their profession has a long history and tradition. They’re the watchmen of the Visins. Their job is to control the people who want to control their Vis. They are testing them by battling them and then decide if they’re worthy going on or start again with their training.
If they decide against you, they have the right to take your weapon from you. They’ve got machines which disconnect your weapon from your body and block your Vis for a while, so you have to restart your training, to get your weapon back. You start from zero.
The abdicationers are high ranked members of the society and in most cases even famous.

Arena - The residence of an Abdicationer. The battles take place here.

Vis-journey - To become a Visin you have to train of course. If you’re older than ten you can go on a a vis-journey on which you train and fight as much as possible. You start battling abdicationers in order to proof yourself. You’re supported by society in various ways.

As you can see, the abdicationers have much power in this world. Maybe too much?
This story is about the question of who should possess power and how it should be used for what ... of course it’s about all kind of other things too.
I just thought it sounds dramatic and makes a good end to this explanation.
Now just go enjoy the characters or for whatever you’re here <3.
