comment |
Ascension was a free visual novel made by Roman Alkan, A.K.A. Rinmaru (now of the company LarkyLabs). The story takes place in a world called Arunia that is populated with 7 different races. The main protagonist, Aida, and her best friend of six years, Sky, are investigating what Sky's mother's journals hold when they encounter some new friends and a 23 year old secret.A manga adaptation was drawn by PrinceOfRedRoses, aka Kei, and hosted on the ImpQueen website.In 2018, Rinmaru briefly removed the games and the manga from the internet due to harassing messages she had been receiving from younger fans. She also dropped the fourth chapter she was working on, "Echoes in the Dark", and has no plans to continue any development on the series. The games were reinstated on RinmaruGames, but only until the shutdown of Adobe Flash in December 2020 and the subsequent shuttering of the RinmaruGames website. They can no longer be played.Not to be confused with Ascension (Miniseries) or especially fellow visual novel Ascension (2021). |

Poor Communication Kills: Diego and the Eagles ambush Aida in the temple on Valond Mountain in the second chapter because he believes that she wants to take control of the Silver Army for herself. She's actually there to stop them, same as the Eagles. |

Official Couple: Played with, as Aida can choose between a few different love interests (or none at all if the player prefers) and none of them are mandated by canon. Her options include Zander, Jace, Faelern and Kole (although Zander seems to be the most popular choice). |

Lady Land: Adeshia. Thanks to mythology about a man having cursed Adeshia, Adeshia is not very male-friendly. Many men are sold into prostitution at The Silk, which is owned by a woman. In Ascension: Echoes in the Dark, there is even a small group fighting for men's rights, similar to feminism in the real world. |

Wham Episode: Aida's dream in chapter 2 which reveals that the Old Kingdom was a prison, and that the old kings ordered the nobles to slaughter everyone for taking part in an uprising against them. Also earlier in chapter 2, Malvin (the old bearded guy on Sundrop Island) revealing that the opening of the gates will allow the nobles from the Old Kingdom to escape and carry out their orders of mass murder. And it's Aida's fault. |

Dangerous Forbidden Technique |
| | Ascension (2013) (Visual Novel) / int_8f0dc93c |
comment |
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Necromancy, the Black Magic, is implied to be this, and in the first chapter, if you discuss it with the librarian, she implies that to bring one back to life, you must take the life of another. Either way, practicing necromancy is a crime punishable by death in the Ascension verse. If Aida romanced Zander in Chapter 1, it's revealed he dabbled in necromancy to try and bring Aida back due to believing she was dead. Tillie, believing he actually did it, will slap him across the face, whilst Aida herself is shocked and can potentially break up with him over it. |

Elves Versus Dwarves |
| | Ascension (2013) (Visual Novel) / int_9a08517a |
comment |
Elves Versus Dwarves/Slobs Versus Snobs: During the party scene in the beginning of the third chapter, when you speak with Tillie, she alludes to this sort of thing, with Moon elves hiring dwarves to mine for them in Ildis. Tillie and Zander actually get on very well, though Zander's parents aren't impressed by him palling around with a dwarf. Ildisian society still enforces this, with Tillie telling Aida that the Moon elves still see dwarves as "dirty miners from Doregon" despite having lived in Ildis for generations. Aida protests the idea. |

comment |
Feminist Fantasy: The central protagonist is Aida, a snarky, asskicking thief-turned-hero who is unapologetic about any of this. Other major characters include Sky and Tillie; although Sky spends a lot of the first chapter as rather timid and Prone to Tears, she's still quite brave and loyal, and later takes some serious levels in badass to become a powerful magic user. Tillie is a very intelligent alchemist who defied dwarf stereotypes to follow her passion and aspires to open a magic school. There are also numerous supporting or minor badass and strong-minded female characters. |

It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Aida spends a good part of the second chapter avoiding her True Companions and would've never met up with them again if she hadn't run into Zander while in Taran because she believes she's being hunted by the Eagles and doesn't want to endanger her friends. Zander calls Aida out on this. |
