Legacy's Premise

It's difficult to tell much about "Keyholders' Legacy" without dropping spoilers about the previous series. It's intended as a transition into a story about the second generation of Keyholders.

The new enemy introduced in KL is not from the Gates. This time, the enemy is an organization from Earth that is targeting people who have anything to do with the Gates -- which spells trouble not only for immigrants who have roots in the Gates but also for the Keyholders.

This threat puts the Key-Seekers, an organization that keeps balance and diplomacy between the Gates and Earth, in a risky position. Not wanting to get tangled up in a diplomatic crisis between Earth and the Gates, the Seekers try to cut ties with the Keyholders living on Earth, which only results in more trouble and traps Takumi, a longtime friend of the Keyholders, in the middle of it all.

In the meantime, the Keyholders-in-training become the next targets of this mystery organization from Earth, and several Keys are stolen...

Second Generation

Well, I've done it. I've started yet ANOTHER branch of the Eternal Rain universe. For those of you who have seen the "Second Generation?" fanart, the novel, which I am now calling "Keyholders' Legacy," will star the children of three married Keyholder couples.

(In order of appearance)

Kaori Norikawa
Parents: Toki + Reka

Nikkou (Shieko-kalu de Uakashie)
Parents: Shiori + Sora

Hideo Okino
Parents: Atsuko + Toshiro

I'll have full profiles for each of these guys later, as well as more details about the story, which is currently in progress.

FLASHBACKS

I'm currently working on the short stories that make up "Flashbacks." Each one is told in first-person point of view and shows the pasts of the characters from Eternal Rain and Eternal Storm. Some featured characters are Toki, Kita, Reka and Sharo...

Foils and Counterparts

Reka and Satoshi

  • They are close to the same age.
  • Both of their fathers are of high rank in the Llanian army.
  • Both of them are highly-skilled fighters.
  • Reka rebels against his abusive father, while Satoshi goes to any means necessary to emulate his.
  • They are both upper-class. Satoshi carries the upper class's prejudice against the lower class, while Reka goes out of his way to protect them.

Sound like quite the explosive combination? When these two fiery-tempered fighters butt heads, the sparks really fly! And since Satoshi views Reka as his rival, they are always at odds.

Takeshi and Shuichi

  • Both are leaders in their own right.
  • Both are intelligent and caring.
  • Takeshi is three years younger than Shuichi.
  • Takeshi is somewhat clumsy, while Shuichi has strong athletic ability.
  • Takeshi has slightly more charisma than Shuichi, but Shuichi is more down-to-earth.

They're really good friends and exchange information with each other.

Sora and Reka

  • Both are guardian characters whose priority is defending their teammates, even if that means giving up their lives. Both of them can be reckless in that respect.
  • Both are stubborn.
  • Both of them have a soft spot for Shiori.
  • Sora is two years younger than Reka.
  • Reka is very outspoken (which at times backfires on him), while Sora almost never raises his voice -- he doesn't even talk much.
  • Sora is considerably more mellow than Reka.

They complement each other in battle and get along well when they're together.
