Welcome to Lexaba. The skies no longer know peace.

Your people are at war. The infinite azure that you once called home has been dyed blood red, the endless screams of duelling fighter planes ever-present below your great flying city. On the distant surface, the mages wage a desperate fight, to claim a new land for the Maraqi.

One day, you too will join that battlefield.

But today, you are but another young Maraqi, a child who has yet to stretch their God-granted wings to the fullest. If you truly wish to soar, it is only the Academy that can teach you.

Take flight, young warrior!



The war between the winged humanoids of Maraq, a city in the sky, and the earthmen of Kanda, on the surface below, began three years ago. You play as one of the Maraqi, desperate to find a solution to the impending destruction of your beloved city, for lately, the magic that allows Maraq to soar amongst the clouds is failing, and its Fall is no longer a question of "if", but of "when". Thus, this is the war that will determine your future.

You play as a student who has recently entered the Academy, an institution in Maraq's Omega Sector that transforms young Maraqi into war heroes. There are two paths that your training will prepare you for: becoming a master of the holy light magicks that support your very city, or a maverick whose ferocious piloting marks them as a knight of the skies.

At the Academy, you will find your comrades, and in time, you will be out on the battlefield, hoping that your education has borne fruit.



Who are you, warrior? How will your choices change this world?

Your gender is:
[] Male.
[] Female.

Your background is:
[] The third-born of the Gamma Sector Princeps, raised in the wealth and luxury of Maraq's Zeta Sector.
[] An orphan with nothing to their name who calls the ramshackle streets of the Tau Sector home.
[] A young individual, sibling to a pious imam who leads a small mosque in the Chi Sector.
[] A skilled wrangler of cattle who plies their abilities in the dying fields of the Omicron Sector.

From youth, your character and life choices have been guided by TWO defining moments:
[] A time you understood the importance of your actions. (Responsibility)
[] A time when the sheer beauty of the world called out to you. (Curiosity)
[] A time you were able to overcome your fear. (Courage)
[] A time your actions put a smile on another's face. (Compassion)
[] A time you persevered through adversity. (Determination)
[] A time you spoke nothing but the truth. (Honesty)
