Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

STORY

"Aer" is a primeval power source of the universe. "Terca Lumireis" is a world sustained by "blastia", which is driven by aer. The People of Terca Lumireis enjoy their lives, living in cities shielded by barriers that keep them safe from the monsters of their world.

The Empire once reigned over the people as a bedrock of peace. Blastia, the legacy of an ancient civilization, was under the strict control of the Empire and only certain people became privileged to their use. The poor of the world soon formed organizations in search of freedom—the guilds—and strived to live outside the Empire's rule. Eventually, through conflict and compromise, a new society formed with a complicated relationship between the Empire and the guilds.

Even after the Great War ten years ago and disputed rights of succession after the demise of the Emperor, this world seemed peaceful...

AND NOW....

Yuri was raised in the lower quarter of Zaphias. He joined the Imperial Knights with Flynn-Yuri's childhood best friend-but quit because he was disappointed by the Imperial Knights' corruption. Now he lives the way he wants, solving people's troubles in the lower quarter.

One day, Yuri encounters a mysterious girl named Estelle. Upon discovering that she wants to meet Flynn, Yuri decides to accompany her.

Yuri doesn't know it yet but this strange encounter will soon tangle many people's fates.

CHARACTERS

Yuri Lowell

Sex: Male Age: 21 years old Height: 180 cm (5 feet 9 inches)

A former Imperial Knight who lives in the lower quarter, protecting it's inhabitants. He hates the upper classes, such as nobles, because he has seen their oppressive way of doing things. Because of his helpful nature he is beloved by people like a big brother, despite being loudmouthed and sarcastic.

Estelle

Sex: Female Age: 18 years old Height: 165 cm (5 feet 4 inches)

A girl who mysteriously runs into Yuri in the castle. 1 Her sheltered nature, and fantastic words and deeds often confuse people. She is very dedicated. Seeing someone hurt, she would try to cure them with her healing artes, paying no attention to herself. Her real name is Estellise. Estelle is her nickname.

Repede

Sex: Male Age: 4.5 years old Height: 170 cm incl. tail (5 feet 6 inches)

Yuri's constant companion, a one-eyed dog with a big scar on his face. Though he holds a pipe as a memento from his former master, he does not smoke. He is not friendly but he never betrays anyone whom he has come to accept. He is totally in control and may be the most sensible and calm being among them all.
