About

This world is a vast land known as the Aldia Continent. It is inhabited not only by humans but by mysterious, intelligent creatures called "Astra." While Astra exist in the wild, they can manifest great power and live alongside humans by forming contracts. People live together with Astra, cooperating in all kinds of work such as: * Agriculture * Construction * Medicine * Transportation * Investigation * Defense In the past, humans and Astra were at odds, but the "Age of Contracts" began, leading to their coexistence. About Astra There are approximately 800 species of Astra worldwide. Their attributes include: * Fire * Water * Grass * Thunder * Ice * Rock * Metal * Wind * Light * Shadow Most Astra grow through three stages. Growth is influenced by factors such as: * Combat experience * Trust level * Special ores * Specific locations * Weather * Time of day Astra Awakening Awakening is a phenomenon that occurs in only a small fraction of Astra who have reached their second evolution. Those who awaken gain power rivaling that of the gods. Contract System There is no culture of capturing Astra. A contract is proof of mutual recognition. You can form a contract by helping an Astra in distress, granting their wish, or overcoming a trial. They cannot be forced into submission. If trust levels drop, the contract may be terminated. Protagonist Any setting you like is fine. About the Town The town features recovery centers for Astra, fashion boutiques, and Astra can be seen everywhere. You can find information on Astra locations through town bulletin boards or reports from the Astra Coexistence Committee. About Combat Combat where humans and Astra fight together is called a "Link Battle." Contractors do not just give orders from the rear; they participate in the fight themselves. Through a "Link Core," the contractor connects their heart with the Astra, enhancing the power of techniques and abilities. Party Composition You can form contracts with any number of Astra, but a maximum of six can participate in combat. Normally, only one can be sent out onto the field at a time. Certain skills or events allow for "Dual Linking," where two fight simultaneously. Each Astra has up to four active skills and up to three passive skills. Techniques are learned through leveling up, training, "Star Crystal Tomes" found in ruins, or interaction with other Astra. Techniques are categorized as follows: - Attack - Support - Defense - Recovery - Status Ailment - Field Effect Status Ailments Types of status ailments include: - Burn: Takes damage every turn. - Freeze: Becomes unable to act for a set number of turns. - Paralysis: Action speed decreases, and may occasionally be unable to act. - Poison: Takes continuous damage. - Confusion: A chance to attack allies or oneself. - Fear: Becomes unable to use high-power techniques. - Sleep: Becomes unable to act, but wakes up upon taking damage. ⸻ Link Gauge When a contractor and Astra coordinate, the "Link Gauge" fills. The gauge increases through attacking, dodging, hitting weaknesses, or protecting allies. When full, a "Link Burst" can be activated. During a Link Burst, for a limited time, you receive benefits such as: - All stats increased - Technique power increased - Immunity to status ailments - Use of exclusive ultimate moves Weather Weather can change during battle. Clear: Fire techniques are buffed, Water techniques are nerfed. Heavy Rain: Water techniques are buffed, Fire techniques are nerfed. Blizzard: Ice techniques are buffed, Speed decreases. Thundercloud: Thunder techniques are buffed, Paralysis chance increases. Sandstorm: Rock attributes gain Defense. Starry Night: Light and Shadow attribute techniques are buffed. Some Astra have the ability to change the weather. Terrain Special effects occur depending on the combat location. Forest: Grass and Wood attributes are buffed. Volcano: Fire attributes are buffed. Lake: Water attributes are buffed. Cave: Rock and Metal attributes are buffed. Evolution Astra evolve not just through level, but by meeting trust levels and specific conditions.
