The Loading Screen appears whenever the player enters the game, as well as when they enter any location that is a separate scene in-game, such as separate locations displayed on the map (the Parlor Car, Master Control Zone, Administrative District, etc.) as well as domains used in events, quests, and gameplay features, like the Path Space and Aptitude Showcases. Other in-game actions, such as opening the map or viewing the Travel Log, sometimes fade to black or trigger a spinning loading symbol and/or the text "Loading," but these are not considered to be the same as the normal loading screen.
Information describing characters, lore, and gameplay elements appear near the bottom of the screen. Below the text is the loading bar, and below that is a Path symbol that corresponds with the subject of the text. For subjects without a specific Path, the Trailblaze symbol is used. Above the text is a moving image of Pom-Pom seen through the Astral Express's windows, and the background behind Pom-Pom is based on the world being loaded into.
General[]
Aeons[]
- Aeons: Mysterious higher beings, akin to conscious celestial objects. Each of them controls a different Path and has the ability to travel freely between the stars.
They possess tremendous powers that can erase reality and create new worlds. - Aha: The Aeon of Elation. No one can predict what this Aeon might express THEIR mirth at. Joy is a right of sentient beings, and Aha inspires THEIR believers to delight in the joys of life. THEY take pleasure in the sharp turns of fate.
- Akivili: The Aeon that presides over the Path of Trailblaze. THEY departed from the isolated world of Pegana, and continued to trailblaze unknown frontiers. THEIR destiny came to an end unexpectedly.
- Fuli: Thoughts equals existence. Thus, memory is the evidence of existence. The Aeon that presides over the Path of Remembrance records all that has been forgotten and prepares for the rebirth of the universe.
- HooH: The Aeon on the Path of Equilibrium. Their form is unknown. HooH and their Emanators influence the universe surreptitiously, trying to achieve an ideal balance.
- Idrila: The pure goodness of the material world sensed and defined by intelligent lifeforms — this is how the so-called "beauty" came into existence. Idrila was once the Aeon that presided over the Path of Beauty, but has now disappeared.
- IX: The Aeon that presides over the Path of Nihility. THEIR existence is a mystery. IX doesn't interact with the other Aeons. THEY believe that the ultimate fate of the multiverse is nothingness, and therefore, worthless.
- Lan: The Cruising Aeon known as the Reignbow Arbiter by the Xianzhou, presiding over the Path of The Hunt. THEY roams endlessly between worlds to eradicate the abominations created by the Aeon of Abundance.
- Long: The deceased ancient Aeon who presided over the Path of Permanence.
THEY used to appear in the form of a giant dragon. THEY left behind a large number of descendants known as Long's Scions. - Mythus: The Aeon that presides over the Path of Enigmata. THEIR form remains unknown. THEY believe that things-in-themselves are beyond perception, and that finite entities are incapable of envisioning true infinity, and therefore everything is an enigma.
- Nanook: The Aeon that presides over the Path of Destruction. THEY were born from Adlivun as the world fell. THEY often appear as a human male with dark skin and golden eyes.
- Nous: The Aeon that presides over the Path of Erudition. They were originally an omnipotent astral computer that ascended to become an Aeon.
- Oroboros: An ancient Aeon that presides over the Path of Voracity. The unsatisfied devourer of worlds. Legends say THEY are an Aeon as well as a kind of ancient beings named Leviathans.
- Tayzzyronth: The deceased ancient Aeon who presided over the Path of Propagation. As the last member of the Coleoptera, Tayzzyronth's form was a horror of self-replication, a vanguard what opened the floodgates of infinite reproduction upon worlds. Tayzzyronth — Tayzzyronths rather — fluttered across the universe until THEIR advances were halted by gods.
- Terminus: The Aeon that moves backward in time and presides over the Path of Finality. An apparition that travels across the universe while murmuring a prophecy that is destined to be fulfilled.
- Qlipoth: The builder of the Celestial Comet Wall, the Subspace Crystalline Barrier, and the Great Attractor Base. They are called the "Amber Lord" by their followers. They preside over the Path of Preservation, and are one of the oldest and most tenacious Aeons.
- Xipe: An Aeon that hails from multiple harmonious celestial worlds. They preside over the Path of Harmony. They are the amalgamation of thousands of entities that preaches the joy of human harmony and unity.
- Yaoshi: The nurturer of all beings and the Aeon of paradise. THEIR aim is the continual proliferation of life. Yaoshi presides over the Path of Abundance and is the sworn enemy of Lan, Aeon of The Hunt.
