Katanas Are Just Better | |
| Zodiacs / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: This attitude convinced the Ryouiki nobility to declare that no zodiac, samurai or not, is allowed to use a katana despite the Imperial Family otherwise granting equal social status. As a result, the Kitsune Court uses wakizashi and the Kikage Clan use spears. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Zodiacs / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Adrasteia is deliberately trying to MAKE the world this because if there's plenty of chaos and evil in the world, then people won't look for her and she can avoid being brought to justice longer. She started with sinking her homeland into a civil war that obliterated the one noble household whose loss could not be recovered from. She's supported Elias in his rise to power, united the Hordelands under his fist. She helped place a lunatic on the Imperial throne in the Golden Empire. She's helped the Shogun wage an undeclared civil war while ensuring the young empress remains in a poisoned coma. She is currently linked to a Demon Gate which occasionally cracks open and will flood open if she dies. She likely has fingers in the Star Republic too, though the precise nature of her plan there is undetermined. | |

Blood Magic: Ryouiki Maho-Tsukai have five types. One is actually White, focused on self-sacrifice for others. One is grey, and focused on knowledge. Two are black. And the last is deepest black. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Zodiacs / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Humans towards Zodiacs for the most part. Wolves and Dogs, despite being genetically identical save for a trend in hair/fur colors, absolutely hate each other and refuse to admit being related. This is especially unfortunate for Sigurd, whom the sourcebook says has trouble remembering that Jun is a wolf. Snakes in particular are hated by everybody due to the fact that they can kill by age 10 via poison A popular method of lynching snakes is "fanging", which is basically cutting or ripping out their fangs. The snake usually dies within a year due to their own uncontrollably leaked poison. Bharita revere snakes as holy creatures publicly. Secretly, the Brahmin caste maintains hidden fortresses were they send female snakes who were supposed to be either executed or euphenized but were still capable of carrying a child to term. Bharita considers all zodiacs to be born as property of one of the four castes based on their species. The Golden Empire considers all zodiacs to be animals. Magicians are hated even more than snakes as most people believe they choose their path rather than are born to it. | |

| Zodiacs / int_6c3d1777 | comment |
Magic A Is Magic A: The author describes magic as a very complex mixture of telepathy and telekinesis on an atomic level in one small statement in the sourcebook, but also at least implies that any particular gamemaster can run the world however he wants. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
| Zodiacs / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: Zodiacs and humans are genetically compatiable given one was created from the other. Children are the same species as the mother 3 out of 4 times. Averted with the Golden Empire who consider zodiacs nothing more than animals and view those who interbreed with them as freaks. A special note: Sigurd, a nearly 7' tall tiger zodiac is especially attracted to Dog women, having grown up with them. | |

And Man Grew Proud: The world is set at least ten thousand years after a highly advanced society crumbled suddenly and left the world resource poor. The example campaign suggests the campaign setting is actually North America in the far future, but again, the implication is that that is up to individual GM decision | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: Pretty much part of the intention of the setting and the example characters. Jun the Cook/Toshiko Kikage: Her story borrows heavily from the 47 Ronin and can be considered a shout out to Yukimura Sanada as well. Enkil: is a shout out to Street Fighter characters as well as Inigo Montoya The Woman With No Name: is a shout out to Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name as well as Harmonica and Doc Holiday Sigurd: a shout out to various viking myths, Jackie Chan and the good-guy versions of Zangief Acacia: was originally a [[Ranma 1/2 Kodachi Kuno]] shout out, but has been buried under other things Xun Fu: Is a shout out to MacGyver and Robin Hood. Rama: Is a shout out to Ranma Saotome and Kwai Chang Kain Adrasteia: Is a shout out to Kodachi Kuno as well as the Evil Queen of Snow White Ryouiki as a culture is a shout out toward Japanese and Celtic myth The capital of Ryouiki is "Deishi" (D.C) Two Maho-Tsukai Universities Japanese translations of Dunwich and Innsmouth The Hordelands are a shout out to Native Americans, Mongols, Sumerians and have a sport that is basically jugging. The Star Republic is basically Texas Bharita is a shout out to Hindu myth and caste society with an American style Checks and Balances system and Greek names Volstaggs are a shout out to viking myths The Golden Empire is a shout out to Romance of the Three Kingdoms | |
