Oh gods, where to start.

Apologia's story is basically in the family of epic fantasy RPG games, with sci-fi influences. It concerns the battle of the hero of humanity, Light, with the prince of evil and his army, the Deathless Dragon.

And, it doesn't. The particular story told is Moon's Apologia, the autobiography of a relatively insignificant construct created to serve Light. This construct, Light-1, is a spare vessel for Light's soul in case the original Light gets killed fighting the Deathless Dragon. But she is also Moon; the subject of the story is the creation of Moon from Light-1.

Yeah, it's dense. More later.

Characters

Apologia is hugely, hugely character-driven. The entire story basically consists of characters who interact and struggle amongst themselves. Real writers would hyperventilate and gag if they saw it.

Furthermore, the central plot, "Light's plot," only really figures in the beginning and end of the game. Most of Moon's time is spent participating in other people's plots. So let me introduce some of these people, or at least list their names with "(fill in bio later)":


Light and Jin

Light...

Jin...

Ante...

Moon...

Light's incubus...


Dream

The King Phantasms...

Other inhabitants of Dream including the incubi and succubi...

And among those, Lily's incubus...

And Dark.


Angels

Uriel, hottest man of all time...

And the machinations of Lilith, the most powerful of Clara's angels who are dead...


Gods

Cosimo Libraio, who could take Newton any day...

Celestine, his complete foil...

And the Eight Elemental Gods, who are opposed to Clara, and yet...

Yshayya Sakrya, last of the dragons...

and the Eschaton...


Nongods

Sarie Cerithes, an unlikely ally of the Iiramyans...

Seri and Arazari...

Kahenea and Arasyha...

And Sie, the mortal god.


Nonbeings

Isaac Black...

Araes Asayan...

And Aya and Sophie.


Porcelain

User Image
Yukino Tenran, the exceedingly boring lady-of-war...

Setsushi, Maiden of Ice...

Hyouka, Celestial Oracle...

Kouyo, High Priest...

And Ranko...

And the Thirteen Names, particularly one: the Death.

And we likes the backstory. Yeeees, we likes it.

Arasias

The three regions concerned are Iiramya, Saramya, and Karyasihu.

Dream

Boldly level grinding where no one has camped before.

the Earths

Two, in particular.

Lilith's Earth: Granada 900s, Cordoba 1000s, Bologna 1200s, Venezia 1500s, London 1800s, and many hidden-away places...
another Earth that has not been named properly yet: Silla 600s, and the world of the spirits.


Playgrounds of the Gods

The Golden World and the Silver World.

And the realms of the Eight Elemental Gods and Clara...

... and the Aether.
