Chapter 1: Prologue
The world of Fictiontopia consists of various countries, each with their own cultures and customs. Some of these nations include Segendo (video games), Dreampix (cgi characters), Dotcom (internet characters), Toonpolis (cartoon characters) and Comiccon (comic book characters). However we are not going to visit any of these countries. In fact, we are travelling to the eastern side of Fictiontopia were all the unique fictional characters exist. These include characters of eastern origin. Among these countries is the magnificent empire of Nipponichi (home to the japanese manga and anime characters). That is where we are going.
So what is Nipponichi exactly? How was this nation created? The civilization of Nipponichi has a much unknown history to most people. Historians have discovered that before the nation became one, it was composed of various warring clans and tribes. However one clan managed to unify the clans and tribes into one single nation. The clan's name was Tezuka. As a result the first emperor of Nipponichi was from the Tezuka dynasty. He was a man beloved by his people and known for his wisdom and patience. In the next generations, the Tezuka family would still rule the country with their knowledge from their capital: Tokyo. Other magnificent cities rose to prominence during that era. Nipponichi's nature included everything from deep forests, beautiful archipelagos, tall and snow-covered mountains and harsh canyons.
Eventually, the Tezukas would die out and the throne was given to the clan's most trusted allies: the Miyazaki clan. Under the Miyazaki's rule, Nipponichi became one of the most prosperous nations in Fictiontopia. The emperors made sure that every peasant had enough land and would help them if needed. At the same time, the citizens became among the world's most intelligent people. Some Nipponichians had decided to explore the outside world and make contact with the nearby nations. When they visited various countries, they were not necessarily pleased by their systems. In fact, they were known to be very arrogant towards foreigners and outsiders, referring to them as childish, immature monkeys. In turn, the other countries would often make fun of Nipponichi, such as calling it "the land of the perverts, pedophiles and toilet humour lovers". Despite this, the nation continued to prosper.
In modern times, Nipponichi went through the industrialization. However this was only the beginning of the empire's dark times. The last emperor of the Miyazaki-line was assassinated during the country's national holiday. This left a shocking disaster among the proud citizens of Nipponichi. Most of them were in grief over the death of their beloved leader. The assassin was never caught. Who could have done such a thing? Or more importantly, who was going to be the next emperor? After many speeches and trials, the Toriyama clan seized the throne. They declared themselves to be the rulers of the nation as they had ties to both the Tezuka and Miyazaki clans. This move was very controversial among the political scene. Many people accused the Toriyamas of being authoritarian and tyrannical. Before the death of the last Miyazaki-emperor, the anime and manga society was divided between two main groups. The first group was the cartoony anime characters, which were composed of characters that eventually became loyal to the Toriyama clan. Among these included martial artists, pirates, wizards, gourmet hunters, rave masters, meisters, hunters, shamans, Mamodos, vampires and gag-filled hairy brands. They stood all by the Toriyama's side due to their similarities in appearance and tone. When the Toriyamas came to power in Nipponichi, they accused the realistic anime characters of assassinating the previous emperor. The second main group was the realistic anime characters. They had all serious looks and designs compared to their cartoony counterparts. All of these characters opposed the Toriyama's seizing of the throne and began to openly oppose them. To begin with, they were not particularly united against a common foe. But that changed when the uprisings started.
The uprising started with peaceful protests in the streets of Tokyo. Most of the roads leading to the imperial palace were blocked by the police. As the crowds grew larger, the government in Tokyo was uncertain of what to do with the protests. Emperor Bardock sought to find a peaceful resolution, but unbeknownst to him, some of his allies had turned against him. They had secretly ordered the imperial police to shoot the protesters and to put an end to the uprising with force. When the emperor discovered this, he was terrified. The bloody violence against the protesters convinced the realistic anime characters that the imperial family was corrupted. It was time to dethrone him. In order to do that, they had a secret meeting in the town of Karakura (outside Tokyo). However, it was a young man who had arranged this meeting of these characters. He convinced them to put their differences aside for the sake of dethroning the Toriyama-family. Most of these characters included ninjas, soul reapers, alchemists, demons, half-demons, exorcists, samurais, mobsters, martial artists, claymores and warriors dedicated to protect their loved ones. The mysterious person identified himself as Light Yagami. He claimed that he had been chosen by the gods to unite the country into one. Therefore, he offered them his gods' blessings and undisputedly took over the leadership of the realistic group. Thus began the violent civil war which terrorized the whole country. Seeing no other alternative, the emperor and his allies were forced to declare war on any enemies of the throne.
There were two other smaller groups in the society that chose not to take sides in the civil war. The first group was the different beast and trading card masters in the north. They kept to themselves to their academies and cities largely uninterested in the affairs of their southern neighbours. These users included the Pokémon masters, Digimon masters, Beyblade masters and Medabots masters. They came under heavily pressure from the two sides, but still managed to keep themselves from the civil war. The second group was a very complicated one. They were characters who were inspired by Japanese animation but still, they were not considered as such. Although their past remains a mystery it is said that they came from Toonpolis to the west. For some reason, they had mixed Japanese animation in their blood, so technically they were called half-anime characters. However these characters were badly treated in the society and they were often followed. As a result, they were forced to carve a life for themselves in the deep forests outside civilization. As long as they were hidden from the cities, they would be safe. But as the civil war took its toll, they were forced to move to deeper places underground or to higher places among the mountains in order to be safe from the chaos.
Even to this day, the civil war is still going on. Unbeknownst to the two sides, a great evil is plotting to take over the country and bring chaos to the rest of Fictiontopia. The question is: who will take up arms against this great evil? And who will put an end to the civil war? This is the story of a battle between order and chaos.
