Y HALO THAR! it is I once again. welcome to Divergent Wing, the blog dedicated to my ramblings as I make the world of Tsubasa and my otherwise insane, outrageous, sarcastic, and totally contradicting moods.

you may ask, "WTF IS TSUBASA?!"

no, it's not Tsubasa Chronicle. in fact, Tsubasa came from an Ichiraku Ramen play-by-post RPG, "Kibou no Tsubasa". I made the original story for that said game that was sadly discontinued, so to salvage what was left of it I made the story as a novel, and here it is. the Tsubasa stories are actually quite numerous, but the main story is called Tsubasa Reverse--the parallel world retelling of the RPG as it would have been if it had succeeded.

the Tsubasa stories are focused on the world of Nithelice, a world with a single, middle continent. most of the side-stories are set on Nithelice prior to its Winter Age, an era of endless winter, while its full-length novelizations (Reverse and Exceed) are set nearly two hundred years into this ice age. while their plots are seemingly divergent from one another, they are actually overlapping and are quite related, in Nithelice's rich and varied over six-thousand-year history. Tsubasa also uses moral concepts to illustrate its underlying themes; for example, Reverse concentrates on the idea of moral conflict, Exceed on the question of what makes a man a man, Revolution on timeless love, and Redux on friendship and loyalty.

the post after this is the cast list of Tsubasa Reverse, as most of the characters in the story were characters made by the members of Ichiraku Ramen. in that post I will give credit to them, but insofar as the characters and their dealings in the story are concerned, they copyrighted to me.

i chose the name Divergent Wing to illustrate two points: first is that this blog goes outside the box to give readers and visitors alike a glimpse of how i view the story and its progress. second, it refers to the legendary lost wing of the God of Winter, Imrassar, that was said to end the Winter Age.

so please stay with me, dear reader, as we embark on a journey across the World of Tsubasa, and hopefully to its quest of becoming a published fantasy novel or a manga. a big thanks to Meira (a.k.a. Stellar), who did the wonderful layout featuring Cain from Trinity Blood and a theme evoking the image of something long frozen.
