— In-game description

Arcyone is one of the characters in KALPA. She can be obtained in Pleiades for 100 Dark Matter.

Name
Arcyone is named after Alcyone, the fourth of the mythological Pleiades.

Appearance
Arcyone has long, straight pink hair that reaches her waist, with some shorter layers framing her face. Her bangs, while straight, fall over the left side of her face, partially obscuring her left eye. A large pair of slightly curved black horns protrude from her head, just above her bovine ears. Her eyes are green.

She wears a sleeveless white collared shirt tucked into a tight, high-waisted black miniskirt with a slit up the side. She also wears a somewhat loose black jacket low enough to expose her shoulders; the jacket has a white collar and cuffs, and gray metal spikes protruding from near the bottom. A black tie hangs around her neck. In addition, she wears a pair of short black gloves, sheer black thigh-high stockings, and black knee-high heeled boots with laces. Arcyone holds a whip in both hands, with its handle in her right.

Arcyone's art was changed slightly in version 1.5 to match with the changes made to Aste's and Mero's art. Prior to this update, she wore a steel gray tag marked with the symbol of Taurus in her left ear. Following the update, this tag was removed and she instead wears a black belt with a silver buckle shaped like the Pleiades' symbol.

Arcyone
Requirement: Unlock Arcyone

Transcript: Arcyone, she is the Empress and the Guardian of Taurus.

Above the sapphire blue ocean, Elive, the capital city of Aden Empire, filled with golden structure stands. Elive has developed with a culture that values splendor and beauty more than any other culture. However, beneath the golden city, there is a wide area of slums where the poor, who barely eat even one meal a day, live.

Due to her extraordinary innate political sense, she started in the slums of Elive and became the empress of the Aden Empire. Those who saw her for the first time had no choice but to admire its beauty and power, and no one dared to say a thing as the hostile were subjected to terrible retaliation from her madness.

The Guardian is a symbol of the Zodiac, which only exists in each constellation. Among them, only who symbolized pure desire for greed could have the throne of the Taurus.

Reasonably, as the status and honor were guaranteed, everyone wanted the honor. It is even said that some even poured in their whole property to gain the Guardian's place when it was vacant. Nevertheless, it was an honor that could not be obtained unless chosen by God who gave it the ability of the guardian.

It didn't take long for her to qualify even under such occasion. In addition, the ability of 'Robbery' granted as the Guardian further strengthened her status as the Empress. However, perhaps because the greedy spirit of the Taurus, which she gained as she became the Guardian, her nature stained with madness showed even more than before.

Having pursued power regardless of the light and shadow, she also has known S since childhood, the infamous ruler of the dark world. Rumor has it that she knows S's real name and real job hidden under the veil.

Banquet
Requirement: Accomplish Arcyone's 1st Reverse

Transcript: A huge chandelier, placed on high ceiling, which is about to reach 10 adults in a straight line, glares brightly at the entire palace banquet hall.

At the center of the hall stands Arcyone, the Empress of the Aden Empire, with a faint smile.

“Arcyone the Great! This one cannot thank more to God for the day of the birth of the glorious Empress. Please accept this Irium! It's a rare jewel that changes its color depending on the direction it sees."

Indeed, today's banquet was for none other than Arcyone, the owner of this country's birthday.

One servant seemed to have prepared specialty of land under his jurisdiction as a gift.

Arcyone received the jewelry without saying much.

As she turned the jewelry around, she could see the color of the light changing.

She smiled happily and soon opened her mouth softly.\n\n

“Sir Pergius, I deeply praise you for your hard work and also your discernment. You may look forward to your future."

“Tha, Thank you, your highness!"

After granting the jewel, he barely bowed his head stiffly and stepped back.

“You. Put this jewel on display in my treasure room."

Arcyone handed over the jewelry to the court lady standing next to her.

“Yes, your highness."

The court lady vanished without a sound quickly.

When everyone was drunk on the elegant atmosphere

of the banquet hall, another rushed up to her and spoke.

“Your Majesty, I urgently received a box from the Owl."

“Open it."

The servant opened the box immediately.

A letter with the seal of 'S' and the white chocolate laid inside the box neatly.

“Oh, is it her?"

Arcyone ripped the seal and opened the letter.

...

- Go fuck yourself -

After reading the letter, Arcyone started to laugh madly.

Vassals around her froze at her sudden action.

Soon after, she stopped laughing and snarred.

“Hehe ~ Bitch~"

As she smiled as if nothing juset happened, people around her felt relieved.

---

The banquet continued.

The Empire's best violinist performed and received applause.

Those who came out in the form of clowns made people laugh one's head off.

After few hours of pleasant atmosphere, a man in the mysterious star-patterned clothes quickly approached Arcyone and granted a box.

“Your highness... The Guardian sent you a present."

“Ohh~ Didn't I recieved it all?"

She answered pleasantly, opening the box.

After a moment,

She turned blue as she saw the content in the box,

She suppressed her bursting feelings and spoke in a quiet voice word after word.

“...From which constellation did you came?"

“Ah... Sixth your highness."

In response, she snarred with a mad smile and murderous intent.

“Hah. Have you not heard, not to take anything given by Sixth Constellation?"

“…"

“You wish your death. Ha ha ha."

“…"

“Get lost."

Petrified with fear, he hardly grabbed the box again and left with hast.

After a few silent moment, she putted on her peaceful smile again on her face and melted through the atmosphere of the banquet.

It was only when gifts were piled up beyond counting that the banquet ended.

The Empress of Greed
Requirement: Accomplish Arcyone's 2nd Reverse

Transcript: Ah, I want it. I want it so much. I want it in my possession. Resist if you will. I like your futile attempts. The value of something grows only more significant when it is hard to get.

Oh, you think that I’m selfish and crazy? Well, insult me as much as you want. What can your meager pride get you? A mountain of gold? A vast land? A servant that will grovel beneath your feet?

The envy and the jealousy of those who never had anything at all are so pitiful.

But there is something that even I can’t have. It’s Kalpa’s power of freely controlling life.

She only uses her power to save lives, but if she wants to, it would be easy for her to command the whole universe.

Who would ever predict that her power to save the universe may be used to cause bloodshed? That’s very, very funny.

I can’t help but long for that power. I heard that a seal has taken away her memories and power. I will have to look into that.

You, bring all the famed scholars here to research the method that sealed away Kalpa in the past. You may treat them to some torture if they are uncooperative.

By the way, if the news of this ever reaches outside ears, then I will destroy not only you but all of your family, friends, and neighbors. Do you understand? Then move already. Ha Ha~

Skill
"What you took right now also belongs to me. Don't you dare to take something of mine." — Flavor text

Arcyone's skill triggers randomly and rewards the player with 40 Astral Melody when it activates. According to the in-game description, it is supposed to activate in the Dark Area, therefore refunding the Astral Melody spent to play.

As of version 2.0.3, however, this skill is bugged; Arcyone instead randomly rewards the player with 40 Astral Melody in Free Play. This makes her skill the easiest way to obtain Astral Melody after having used all daily Dark Matter charges.

Ranking Season Message
''Hey [Player]. Positioned in top 100 of the ranking... Well... I will give you an honor to receive rewards from me.''

''Your music... Ahh~ Indeed~ It was good to listen. I would say... Such a greed and lunatic sound. This is never expected.''

''Haaah. I desire to let you stay right next to me and make you perform FOR-EVER.''

''Why so serious? Did you think what I spoke was for real, as if you are tied up and become a slave?''

''Well, well, well. It is very adorable sound. HOW-EVER, do not misunderstand it. Your perform is just an entertainment among so many others for me.''

Take my presents and get away from here right now, before my feelings get worse by your rudeness.
