First Game Tome 57

The Bola Parasola is a collection of three umbrella game series and one-off umbrella games created by Jake. These three series and other games have distinct gameplay styles and do not follow the same plot, yet are all set within the same multiverse. The first series announced to be a part of the Bola Parasola was ⌭Saga, while the second - Rose Warriors - was announced at the Fantendo 10th Anniversary Showcase, and the third on May 12, 2017.

The games set within the Bola Parasola may feature the same characters, though not the same incarnations of characters that may appear in other Bola Parasola series. Only specific individuals have the power to cross-between the different series, and their appearances are rare. Despite this, actions caused by characters in one series may impact other series.

Series

Each of the three series in the Bola Parasola have vastly different gameplay styles, which is why they are not considered all one series. The specific pages pertaining about each series describes the gameplay in more detail than what is present here.


Cylindricity Saga

⌭Saga is an action beat 'em up series based heavily off of Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors franchise. Characters wield unique elemental weapons, each with their own attack combos, which they use to defeat enemy armies and complete a variety of different objectives. This series features the theme of repetition, and primarily features Lana and Cia as the main protagonists of the series.

Each game in the ⌭Saga features a number - known as a Voiced Principle - in the game's title. The first game in the series was Tome 57, followed by Sepia 10\24 and Imitation SH4. A prequel to Tome 57 also exists, known as Omen 76. The Voiced Principle is lower for each game, signalling an instability as time goes on.

  • Tome 57
  • Omen 76
  • Sepia 10\24
  • Imitation SH4



Rose Warriors icon

Rose Warriors is an action RPG series. The game focuses upon the theme of loneliness, and how characters adapt when stripped away from the worlds and people that they knew. The series focuses mainly on Ruby Rose, though the original character of Solum also plays a major role in the series.

The third series - initially conceptualized under the name of AT Jeneriq and later as Omega Fracture - was initially planned to be announced alongside VIVA at the 10th Anniversary Showcase, though its reveal was postponed. Omega Fracture is a series of fighting games, which encompasses both traditional 2D 1-on-1 fighting games, as well as 3D 2-on-2 arena fighting games. Unlike other series within the Bola Parasola, Omega Fracture does not revolve around one specific individual; the series is primarily centred around the Eventide Amulet, which is said to grant those that hold it immeasurable powers.

Though all games included within the Bola Parasola run parallel to each other, with the events of each having effects on all other games, the order in which these events occur is not a simple one. Though the three series included within the Bola Parasola primarily follow straightforward structures in their own right, this is not true when all are aligned into one timeline. For instance, while there are four games in the ⌭Saga, in the overall Bola Parasola, these four games do not take place one after the other, and are dispersed by other games in the Rose Warriors and Omega Fracture series.

In terms of the overall chronology of the Bola Parasola, the first game in the series is Omen 76, which begins during the creation of this multiverse. Ruptured Sect takes place concurrently with the final act of that game, and its events have impacts on Tome 57, which occurs right after it. Viva la Rose Warriors takes place an unspecified amount of time after Tome 57, as Lana appears as an optional secret boss once the game has been completed.

The creator of the Bola Parasola has stated that any project included within the "Bola Parasola" umbrella, no matter how insignificant its events may seem, is canon to the overall story. He went on to state that "if even a dating simulation game were to be made under the Bola Parasola brand, then it'd have to have some connection or impact on the other games or else there'd be no point for its existence."


Trivia

  • Bola Parasola was originally to be named "Parabola: Parasol".
