Duel Terminal -esque Yu-Gi-Oh Fanfic

[Azure Wolf]

This is an idea that hit me while I was creating my Hyper-Unit archetype. Why not create a Duel Terminal like world with different tribes. No that I have created a Archetype for 4 of the Summoning methods I have decided to get down to writing the story.

 

First off the tribes:

Hyper-Units (Fusion Based) - The Hyper-Units are a race of  AIs and cyborgs (Avance/Gruit). They are mainly passive, but have an heavily fortified facility for training and repairs. Most of the AIs have limited freedom and self-thought (Blytes) and are controlled by larger Synapse Minds (Fusions). Even among the Synapse Minds their is a Hierarchy with the oldest and most powerful Mind at the top (EX-Q9). The cyborgs on the other hand have full control of their bodies an will and are for scouting (Gruit) and delicate work like wiring (Avance). There are 3 AIs that have managed to gain full independence; Janus, Yuhe and Terion. These 3 Units are classed as Advanced and are the Vanguard for the Hyper-Units.

 

Bestia Nemorosus/Shroud Beasts (Synchro Based) - A race of beasts and tamers which are one with darkness. They worship 3 deities; Aquila, Eques and Delphinus. One of the more warlike tribes, they enjoy hunting anyone who comes near their territory.

 

Kajinku (Xyz based) - A race of humanoid Gryphons, the Kajinku value their state above all else. Acts against the state are punishable by exile or death. They have an established military, which while small is effective, being able to defeat large attacks by other tribes. They are a democratic race unless they are in war, where they elect a Ceaser, a highly influential military leader and strategist, to take command. Ever member of the tribe is conscripted into the military for a minimum of 10 battles, from there they can move on to various jobs, though the longer you stay in the military the better job you get.

 

Ring Lords (Ritual based) - A race of Mages and phantoms who take part in ceremonies to divine the future and influence it. The most passive of the tribes as they don't need to use as much resources as the Hyper-Units,aren't as naturally aggressive as the Shroud Beasts or as demanding as the Kajinku. When a Ring Lord dies, their magic materializes as a phantom, an avatar of the Ring Lord based off their ring (either blue (land mammals and reptiles), red (flying mammals and birds) or green (insects and sea mammals). Phantoms can only be materialized for a few months before disappearing and their knowledge being lost so they are sealed into rings and based on to younger mages who they resonate with.

 

These are the four main tribes in the story with the Ring Lords being the main. Pendulum and Tribute based tribes will appear later.

 

The only problem I have at the minute is getting a decent personality for the leads; the twins Ern and Erica (15), a Kajinku Auxiliaris called Gaius, Hyper-Unit Avance (24) and a beast tamer called Taro (19). My main focus at the moment is getting a decent personality for Ern or Erica as I can edit that for the other. Gaius is going to be one of the easier ones while Avance and Taro are my second priority.
