Character Relationship Web - Core Connections

The Primary Triangle

Revier ↔ Iku (The God Slayer vs Divine Conflict)

Background: Revier's family lineage vs Iku's divine parents

  • Revier's Heritage: Son of legendary God Slayers from Mal (hate world)
  • Iku's Heritage: Daughter of gods Ina (Stars) and Mutu (Death) from Sant (mystical realm)
  • The Core Conflict: Iku's parents killed Revier's mother
  • Current Dynamic: Ancient family blood feud brought into cosmic tournament
  • Mechanical Integration: Revier gains bonus damage vs Iku when ahead at 20 minutes

Questions to Resolve:

  • When exactly did Ina and Mutu kill Revier's mother?
  • Was it justified from the gods' perspective?
  • Does Iku know about this history?
  • How do they interact in the tournament setting?

Asai ↔ Iku (Tribal Worshipper meets Divine Daughter)

Background: Religious connection through Goddess Ina

  • Asai's Tribe: From Ise (Jabay), worshipped Goddess Ina before their destruction
  • Iku's Mother: IS Goddess Ina
  • The Soul Blade: Asai's weapon contains souls of his destroyed civilization
  • Potential Dynamics:
    • Does Asai recognize Iku as daughter of his goddess?
    • How does Iku feel about meeting a worshipper of her mother?

  • Asai's Response: Forged soul blade from the tragedy
  • Current Relationship: Complex ally/enemy dynamic
  • Shared Trauma: Both affected by the same catastrophic event
