Biography
Hello, everyone. Since I know a lot of people aren't really looking to the BoP story, I thought this might give people some extra motivation to read ALL of my stories, the first chapter of Fairy Tail: Rekindle. Now before you get ahead of yourself, this is not the actual first chapter, just some background information. Last time I posted this story, there were hundreds of questions from reviewers who were confused by how things are established in this universe, so this was made to, hopefully, explain everything.
Timeline: As this story obviously takes place in an alternate future from the current Fairy Tail Series, there are some events from the original story that have occurred and some that have not. Acnologia's attack on Tenrou Island happened, as did Fairy Tail's victory in the GMG, but Lucy managed to stop Princess Hisui from opening the Eclipse Gate and Natsu defeated Future Rogue by destroying it. (Yes, time paradoxes are very confusing)
Twenty years have already passed since the GMG and Fairy Tail is now the second most powerful guild in Fiore, next to the strange newcomers known as the White Crusade. Most of the old generation have married and had children of their own, who are also members of Fairy Tail. Fifteen years prior to the story, Natsu, Happy, and Lucy left for a mission near the borders of Seven and disappeared ever since. Some suspect that they have died and other believe that they made new lives in Seven. Their fate is questionable with the appearance of their daughter, Izumi Dragneel.
Seven: In comparison to Fiore, Seven is a country generally does not believe in magic, always believing there is some scientific explanation for everything. Their primary focus and resource is the advancement of science and technology, making Seven to be considered the most advanced nation in Earthland. Because the country is mostly made up of desert, people from Seven are easily distinguished from people in Fiore because of their darker skin. Izumi Dragneel lived in Seven until she turned fifteen and moved to Fiore with her Exceed and guardian.
Guilds
Fairy Tail: Nothing much has changed since the Fairy Tail won the GMG. Their original guild hall was restored and Fairy Tail's reputation began gathering more members to join. The only significant events that have occurred in the last twenty years is Cana Alberona become an S-Rank mage four years after the GMG, Flare finally accepting membership under Lucy's insistence, and Erza becoming the seventh Guild Master shortly before Makarov passed away peacefully in his sleep. Fairy Tail remained the number one guild until three years prior to the story, where they have been repeatedly defeated by a new guild called the White Crusade.
Lamia Scales: Jura was obviously made Guild Master and remains a member of the Ten Wizard Saints, but has been bumped down in his ranking by younger warriors like Erza Scarlet and Laxus Dreyar. Lyon has been named the Ace of Lamia Scale and is always asked to participate in the annual GMG. His rivalry still stands with Gray, but spending too much time with his rival has processed him to inherit Gray's stripping habit, not that Chelia can complain.
Mermaid Heel: Mermaid Heel has greatly changed since Kagura's defeat. No longer restricted by anger and hate, Kagura has become a more open and hospitable character, though she takes her training very seriously, especially when it concerns her rival, Erza. When Erza was named Fairy Tail's Guild Master, it was no surprise that Kagura became Mermaid Heel's Guild Master a week later. As the Guild Master, Kagura personally trains all the members to improve their abilities so that they can be better prepared to challenge Fairy Tail. Mermaid Heel is presently the third strongest guild in Fiore, behind Fairy Tail and the White Crusade.
Sabertooth: When Sabertooth was defeated in the GMG, Minerva abandoned the guild and Jiemma was excommunicated by their new leader, Sting Eucliffe. As the new leader, Sting made it his goal to change Sabertooth's ruthless image into something akin to Fairy Tail's friendship ideals. One of the first things Sting did as leader was welcome back Yukino, who he eventually shared a romantic bond with. Though his tenure as leader was only supposed to be temporary, Sting was eventually inaugurated as permanent Guild Master. Sabertooth is often referred to as the "brother" guild of Fairy Tail, due to their close interactions.
Raven Tail: Ivan's guild still remains a threat to Fairy Tail, despite being legally disbanded. No one knows for sure, but there are rumors that Raven Tail is secretly heading the Balam Alliance, but this has yet to be proven true. Former member Flare Corona still keeps tabs on Raven Tail's movements for Fairy Tail, fearing that they may one day return for Lumen Histoire.
Crime Sorciere: After spending many years trying to overturn Jellal's sentence, Erza, backed by Lamia Scales, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Heel, and Sabertooth Guild Master, convinced the Magical Council not to sentence execution. In return for not executing him, they commanded that Jellal must serve under the Magic Council until they deem his is truly reformed. With Magic Council's permission, Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy established Crime Sorciere as a legal guild that focuses on law enforcement.
White Crusade: Nothing much is known about the White Crusade. Their existence was unknown until three years prior to the story when they entered the GMG and shocked everyone by dominating the competition. This continued for the next two years, recognizing them as the most powerful guild in Fiore. The strangest thing is that the guild's top five strongest members, the Apostles, are constantly changing and previous members are never seen or heard from again.
Blue Pegasus: …..In all honesty, they haven't changed at all.
Ichiya: 0_0 – WHA?! MEN!
Main Cast
Izumi Dragneel: Daughter of Natsu and Lucy Dragneel, born and raised in Seven. Having never known her parents, she grew up on the stories of her legal guardian, Marina, of Fairy Tail and always wished to join the magical guild. She inherited one Golden Gate Key from her mother and has made it her goal to collect all of them as a way to be closer to her mother. Despite her childish demeanor, Izumi is actually really intelligent with an IQ of 188. She is very fluent in Fiore's language, but has a tendency to regress to Seven language when she is embarrassed or flustered. Her particular branch of magic is very unique because she did not learn or inherit it; rather it was something she was born with. Unlike their parents, Izumi and Ur Fullbuster are very close friends, but Izumi and Mana Alberona share an unexplained dislike of each other. Izumi is the unofficial leader of Team XL.
Blaise: Because Izumi was born a wizard, she had very little friends because the other parents disapproved of magic. As a way to cheer her up, Marina searched for an Exceed egg and left it in Izumi's care, eventually hatching into Blaise. Blaise is refined, intelligent, and most of all, brave, having no fear of jumping into battle. Unlike other Exceeds, Blaise cannot use the Aera spell, but does use a Battle Form that increases her speed by fifteen times. Along with being Izumi's partner, she is also one of ten Exceeds nominated to become the next Exceed leader, including her rival, Carla.
Ur Fullbuster: Daughter of Juvia and Gray Fullbuster. Like her father and her namesake, she has inherited many things including Ice-Make Magic and, much to her dismay, their unconscious habit of stripping. After seven years of refinement, Ur developed her own style of Ice-Make Magic modeled after the techniques of the Dragon and God Slayers, which she appropriately named Slayer Ice-Make, though she is technically not considered a Slayer. Ur bears a guilty conscience for the death of her younger brother, blaming herself for losing control of the spell that inadvertently killed him. It is common knowledge in Fairy Tail that Ur is only attracted to women, and some rumors are going around that she actually has a crush on her teammate, Izumi Dragneel.
Kane Redfox: Son of Gajeel and Levy Redfox. As to be expected from the son of the Iron Dragon, Kane is very large and very strong for his age. Kane one time smashed his way through Master Erza's Adamantine Shield, earning him a reputation as the Strongest Man in Fairy Tail. But despite being so popular with his guild mates, Kane always refuses to work with them, choosing only to accept missions that he can handle alone. Despite being a senior member of the New Generation, no one knows the true nature of Kane's magic, whether he inherited Gajeel's Iron Dragon Magic or Levy's Solid Script Magic.
Azrael Strauss: Son of Mirajane Strauss. An S-Rank wizard and one of the oldest of the New Generation Fairy Tail wizards, Azrael is a very accomplished man who is renowned throughout the country as the Demon Spawn. Despite possessing the infamous Nightmare Soul, he is very kind and courteous, hardly seen without a smile. He is very attractive and constantly number one in Sorcerer Weekly's "Top Ten Wizards I would Want To Date". Despite having hundreds of admires, including several from his own guild, Azrael has only been romantically interested in Mermaid Heel member, Joy Carmilla, who is surprisingly unaware of his popularity. Azrael has recently proposed to Joy and they are now engaged.
That's all that you will be getting for now. Because everyone voted for it, BoP is my first priority. But I can promise that when BoP reaches its Fifth chapter, I will post some for this story as well. I am also still auctioning off the rights to Jinchuriki Chronicles and Dissidia. It's becoming annoying that people are asking for it, and I have to keep telling everyone that no one is buying. So if you have anything to say about those stories, it better be to take them. If not, shut up.
