Also does fucia count? She is more of a gene edited being roght
According to the wiki
Description: Flavia creates hallucinogenic smoke at her position, temporarily limiting enemy visibility within the smoke.
So she is relaseing some and it causes people to hallucinate butterflies
That is only for her q though
Does npt say anything about her ult
Its the same
ok cool
she spreads a smoke that makes her seem nonvisible to people outside of it unless she actually tries to show herself ie shooting
found the fonts but they need money 
Is that the futo sans?
Obvia bold and gram bold
I'm checking out obvia online and it says free for personal use
Not sure what counts as personal use in this stuff tho
same with gram
I imagine the bold fonts are just variants of the base font
Its literally just, emboldened
im kinda curious
what the P.U.S engineer do
like leona
what they build, and why leona join the P.U.S agent
Probably buildings and stuff idk
And I guess she probably believes in the government ideals too
Helping people with her ability to make shelters and homes and stuff
Thank you! I was looking for the right font ♥
When your bases are blown up every thursday, you need engineers
“THE SCISSORS BOMBED THE PENTAGON!!!”
Yw! Do note that the “&” does have a gap in the middle that the og font doesnt but asides from that everything else is a pretty good match
Nothing that can't be edited 🙂
Yep
See those robots?... Yeah'
how does the whole shooting her Q works
Maddelena is Galatea's younger sister
ahh, no wonder
discovered it through char list, though this one is an easy one
I have a theory that "The Scissors" is not some terrorist group but a terrorist organization
Space Lab is literally just one of their research facilities
A group wouldn't be able to fund something like that
Your theory got confirmed
But how big is it really?
Big
Unspecified big
like really big
big enough that whenever anything goes weong the public's first reaction is "oh its the scissors again"
Its just like isis maybe
Then why only raid so little?
Wouldn’t it better for them to simultaneously raid multiple locations?
P.U.S is also big but, to fake an entire attack would be the best chance for Scissors to escape with no casualties
it's the goal of scissors which kinda dont line up
also bc of pus security i suppose
at least half used to be pus members and although they have intel on the security, they also know it can be complex
I would objectively speaking classify The Scissors as more of an insurgency than true terrorism. This is because The Scissors have a clear political motive (that is to return to Earth and the natural order of living, and to overthrow PUS), but, most critically, they have at least fairly consistently tried to keep the civilian populace out of the fight.
yep
Now that you explain it, that’s why the bombs explode so little
Well, that's a different thing, namely how all the bombs used in the story (and the Demo gamemode, for that matter), seem to use a standardized chassis (specifically the P-4 model).
So theres some civilians side with scissors and side with pus
ultimately they still try and not kill those civilians
And then there is Eika
Yes. PUS is obvious because they're the governing body (example, Neutroville is firmly in PUS territory), but so do The Scissors (Preton is the biggest example).
the main people they target, when they do, are more so higher uppers
like flavia etc
who know about the supposed dark truth behind pus yet stay
I start to think, pus just brainwashed people, since some of pus agent age still 16-18
Or stuff that furthers their own goals, but with a more scalpel like approach (see the intro cutscenes, where The Scissors uses a singular bomb as a diversion to steal a purified crystal).
every time i see the "Nobunaga wakes up in pain" loading text i find it funny
Not confirmed (brainwashing is absolutely an anti-PUS conspiracy theory), but there's definitely evidence of news bias and potentially propaganda on both sides.
in files but not quite confirmed
I don’t think it’s singular-
Oooh okayy
there was a singular diversion bomb as well as multiple others
It was the entire control center
but the explosion was also controlled to only the site iirc
The seasonal stories that aren't out on Global give insight that the REST of the bombs weren't due to The Scissors. Or at least that The Scissors denies that they placed the rest of them.
The scissors maybe dont have resources and logistics as many as pus have
If The Scissors' words are to be believed, the rest of the bombs that blew up the tower were caused by Strinova's ACTUAL terrorist organization (New Bethlehem).
You’re telling me, Lawine put one P4 bomb, and somehow new Bethlehem planted the rest?
Probably. The entirety of the Season 2 story is about a bomb crisis in PUS territory where some unknown actor arms a whole BUNCH of bombs are planted in civilian areas to serve as diversion for New Bethlehem actors to break into a bank.
There's no objective confirmation, but given The Scissor's modus operandi, I'm more inclined to believe that it was New Bethlehem behind the mass bombings that would endanger the civilian populace, not The Scissors.
Does PUS know about this?
They do. Season 3 talks about how Flavia has been gathering intel on New Bethlehem for some time, and in Season 2, Michele and Kokona literally witness the New Bethlehem attack first-hand and Lawine barging in to basically scream "it wasn't us, we wouldn't stoop so low to harming civilians."
Damn I’m missing out.
Season 2 and 3 stories are on the Strinova Wiki in translated form - but you have to specifically search for it: https://strinova.org/wiki/Story/Season_2
As for Season 4 (the last main story season before additions to the main story just stopped), I posted a link to my rough translation yesterday in this chat.
probably her colleague
IIRC, that very FIRST intro cutscene is a stylized depiction of Lawine's initial defection from PUS, so as Efrain said, her (at the time) PUS colleagues, probably.
flavia i guess?
what are the characters that are dead in lore
Closest you'll get in Lawine's unnamed partner - other than that, we don't know.
i dont think so
Unconfirmed/unknown char
Biggest plot twist would be that it's celestia/michele/ or navigator lmao and that they got put through the reincarnation reset 
if u see the gloves it has no butterfly sign
if u pay attention enough, u see kokona expression
she's surprised, bcs this unknown person literally shoot lawine
i see dog, i see dog
Sand dog
golden retriever hair
Have you considered the fact, that only her right glove has the butterfly, and left does not?
The hand on vid is left :3c
That lil detail is even on her emotes 
the mystery continues~ dum dum duuummmm

Still have no clue
Funny she use the gun with left hand
Maybe she is left-handed?
New character/Lawines friend?
so basically who is the villain here? scissor or pus?
i alwas see flavia as villain tho idk why haha
Out of the three main factions, no one is a villain. It's three factions with their own moral grey areas.
In short, you've got the imperfect government, the insurgency going against said government, or a business conglomerate with their own interests.
Past present and future
flavia bring your sis to work day
inb4 its a character thats the polar opposite of flavia
a very ugly and uncharismatic man with a gravelly voice?
(funny you mention that, as one of the character concepts I was in the middle of whipping up is...basically that)
why kokona chasing lawine tho
why not?
attractive!!!!
Kill on sight fr
I mean, this seems like a long time ago anyway.
Good chance it could be Flavia, but she just had different gloves on that day lol
maybe
but do we have the backstory, or at least some hint about lawine and flavia relation
can anyone fact check if this sort of meme is canon
A Insurgent Reactionist group - A Conservative Ecoauthoritarian Dictablanda - A Libertarian Progressivist Business Conglomerate
honestly this probably says "Wait, this is not part of the plan"

As she holds an anti-material sniper rifle
hmmm, she probably doesn't plan to shoot to the point that it is like fatal or disarming, that pointing may be with an intention to negotiate
knowing lawine has a former partner who suddenly changed behavior, it may make sense that same person whom kokona saw was her partner
and that same person without hesitation shot lawine when reunited while lawine is on the run
Yep. It fits the story.
"Lawine and Meredith concluded that the public had to know the truth, but PUS executives had grown wise to what was going on. A group of assassins was already heading their way.
Amid her escape, Lawine came face-to-face with her partner once more - this time as enemies.
To Lawine's surprise, her partner showed no hesitation. A gunshot sounded, and as a cold bullet shattered Lawine's blade, the warm thread of their friendship was abruptly severed."
Does anyone know who's the character in the back kinda behind fushia
thats lawine
need
best maid skin
NOOOOOO
maxwell's demon is rather interesting
So in terms of thermodynamics, there's this thing called entropy. Entropy is basically a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system
basically, the degree of chaos
now there's technically fast and slow chaos in simple terms
actually no
cause maxwell's demon is based on thermodynamics
laplace is based on the belief that the past completely determines the future
he second law of thermodynamics states that if the physical process is irreversible, the entropy of the system and the environment must increase
entropy is degree of disorder aka quantity of energy over time
like
flowing water into a hole
it will constantly have more water
basically it's like faster molecules go to slower molecules while slower molecules stay put
but maxwell's demon is like shrodingers cat
lets say there's this hypothetical demon
and in two chambers, one has fast stuff, the other has slow stuff
between the two is a wall
if you remove the wall, the normal idea is both fast and slow stuff intermingle to become calm
but maxwell's demon is like this stupid demon only lets fast things go to one chamber and slow things go to one
ish
I wont say incorrect, rather, The past and the future happens because of someone that knows everything and is able to calculate that "everything", hence "everything" is forced to follow his calculations
An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past could be present before its eyes.
☝️ 🤓 um acksually quantum mechanics
so basically both theory experiments here suggest that there's something in strinova that controls ppl based on knowledge and calculation of everything
sorts them into different boxes
thinking about it isnt that kinda what happens with scissors
against pus
at first scissors didnt exist
just pus
and the agents in pus, lets say fast and slow
all intermingle
then something in the pus, or this theoretical demon, starts letting the fast things out
while sorting more slow things into pus
it's not too wild to thing that someone or something is playing with the superstrings' fates and sorting them into different factions, right?

Not really controls what goes where
but think of it as a very strong supercomputer
yea
"Officially branded as a defector, Lawine moved to the edges of society. With Meredith's help, she came into contact with an organization known as The Scissors."
That implies it's not Meredith who created it, she's just the current leader.
It doesn't decide anything
It just calculates everything
and because everything knows that it is being calculated, it has no choice but to follow that result
at first scissors didnt exist
and make that supercomputer calculate the everything of the past and the future and there you get the result of the present
at the end of the day, regardless of who created the scissors, they are a reactionary group
therefore pus was created before scissors
She's one of the 3 leaders of it
Known as the Three Sages
True.
P.U.S. basically was created to keep order in new world the humanity got transported to. It's understandable, people need guidance when they are put in new environment. In a way, they're no longer humans, just a string of data, but they try to mimic their human lives, as that's all they know. Obviously, this will create sides. People wanting to live like they used to, people who want to go further and beyond mortal bounds, creating superhumans, and those who just want old values and new era's developments to live comfortably
at the end all i can think is what is pus hiding
shady experiments meant to create beings more advanced than superstrings?
at least vanishing of people who suffered collapse syndrome does hint to that
Next translation shenanigan foray: more character bios translations, coming soon to a wiki near you.
we keep winning navigators
And all thanks to our secret Agent bringing us top secret info
Nah, you give me too much credit. I'm just the right kind of insane.
The right kind of insane indeed xD
But thank you for all the work you do. I'm fueled by lore and story in games.
I'm still a little confused
Why can't scissors just go back to old earth and stay there while others stay on the other planet?
too shy to procreate
trust me
They're still studying how to do it again
And they're lacking a very important resource that is required to research it
The Bablo Crystals
Space Labs is one of their research facilities
They really turned him into a girl...
The silhouette is her new look
The right is before the redesign
And now one more faction is making it harder for them to do the research, Crystalline Faction
we needed more guysss
why they do thisss
so wait is yugiri actually redesigned rapha?
Yes
It's a Barrett, But it's got the stock of the Cheytac intervention

yeah, It looks like the MRAD
Wait on left is the new look?
That rifle looks like SR 25 tbh
Yea it looks like a stoner rifle
That gun is a DMR
But I agree, I can't imagine going up against 2 snipers and a DMR
OH wait
Could it actually be a hk417?
wiki says the Orange-painter-girl uses it
and it kinda looks like it
Considering devs usually take same weapon and slightly change its look instead of adding whole new "Class"
ah no
nvm
Looks too small to be HK417
orange painter girl
also she uses a g28
yes
strinova gun design is kinda wack
give us realistic design back
like the CBT days
The only gun i couldn't figure out tbh lmao
Spaceship gun
that you really gotta be an absolute nerd to figure out by like one line
or its profile
tf is this 😭
Not even nerd could ig lol
wait
the scrapped design has a bolt on it
im seeing a handle
ts was suppose to be bolt action
it was supposed to be M200
yeah
the new design gives us a different gun
yes
kanami
i mean scrapped one
and for some reason she charges it each shot
Bolt-action Semi-Auto Pepelaugh
it actually says in Barret description its Semi Auto
so maybe she uses underpowered rounds idk (jk)
but it behaves exactly like a bolt action
or maybe its for balancing sake
then again we have reiichi
who uses a dragonuv
they are even going to nerf him i heard so
also is that really channel for that discussion?
yes
yes
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Anyways
they could have just made it semi auto but make it so that its like
slow to fire
to let people know when to shot again kek
but slams players like a train
tbh out of all the DMRs
reiichi's is the slowest to fire
kanami's should behave like reiichi's
but fires WAY slower
would actually make it a bit easier for attacker sniper
which isn't a bad thing
Like, it wouldn't drop out of scope
anyway
back to the point
all we know it could still be the intervention
or a similar looking gun
doubt its intervention
doesn't look like it
looks more DMRish tbh
Well gonna see
Yes
Well if she retains her kit and weapon from before redesign, then her gun would be the same as Kokona
Snail
Snail
EAHT DAY
nevermind its next month
hour of earth
Already said looks like the Barrett MRAD just with the Intervention stock
Add a 4x to that and a sliding foregrip
how is it an sr25
Ask Moogek, Not me
thats why i thought it was some AR style DMR
Plus on image theres a Angled foregrip
you cant really put on those snipers
yeah
that is an angled foregrip
which eliminates all snipers
which leaves DMRs
moogek might be on the money tbh
everything about the sr25 aligns
Or it could be G28 as you said
They are similar after all
Or actually not really
They have uh
Mag isn't straight
Actually yeah
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Huh, if it's G28 then both characters that use it are in the same faction
I think it's actually a Kolibri.
retcon-based internal screaming
it should be a sniper because the character they're reworking was originally a sniper
dmr makes no sense because then you'd have 2 dmrs on a single faction
wasnt julian orginally urbino wts
NB I believe
Urbino
(IDS has been doing whatever the heck they darn please w/ the "New Bethelehem" characters. Galatea was turned Urbino, Rafa got reworked into Yugiri and thus PUS)
Like 2 snipers makes more sense
Julian is supposed to be Urbino
And if, the kit and gun are still the same, making her PUS will be unfair since her gun was supposed to be the same/modified type from Kokona's gun and thus making PUS having 2 characters with sniper rifle
Who owns PUS?👀
Central Government
I only heard that Nobu is the current leader of PUS
Nobunanga is a captain, not a leader.
Wait, is it that one YouTube short about Strinova lore in a minute?
I think so
I have not seen it, but if that's what it says...that's an oversimplification at best and probably wrong in a few places...
most likely
the info i can confirm is bai mo being the leader of urbino
And I'm hella surprised
At this point, I'm bloody tempted to make my own Strinova "foundational worldbuilding" primer video...
Do it, only for the developers to completely rewrite the story within a few patches
bai mo, reichii, and nobunga are all brothers
Wait where?
If that's the case explains the sweater more than the uhhh
no only reiichi and nobunaga are
bai mo isnt related to either of them
i think bro was just saying nonsense 
bc as of right now the only confirmation of sibling relationship are nobunaga and reiichi
besides baimo got that green ahh hair
bai mo dyed his hair after both his brothers had a falling out
he used to always steal nobunagas jackets, so nobunagas started writing his name on them
every faction already has a DMR (Nobunaga/Reiichi/Maddalena), so PUS getting a second DMR would be much less of a problem than having 2 snipers
he couldn't choose between his two brothers so he founded urbino, and now he hopes to unite them both
Don't forget Maddalena and Galatea xD
yeah
Wait, where in canon? @dull elk
under the I made it up section
We know bai mo was(?) a street kid. A rags to riches guy
Wasn't there someone who posted an image of Baimo's jacket having Nobunaga's name on it or was it a mandela effect?
its not
???
you must be blind
Maybe so
Idk man, I'm too tired to continue thinking about this
I'll leave it to y'all regarding the lore

Do keep cooking
It's entertaining reading all this
Imagined him try to skate with Baimo and chuckled
bro is gonna fall face flat
considering in the manhua baimo visits pus often i think (?)
wait i need to check again
i wish there was a proper tl lol
he did like... twice in the manhua?
that's a lot for a guy who has no reason to be there other than to just be there
sus
bro if baimo and nobunaga do have something going on
i'll be pissed
bc wym reiichi doesnt get anyone but his brother does
ladies love emo men
reiichi looks like an emo man
Even Meredith want to bring Nobunaga in xDDDDD
fr LOL
reiichi my 180 king you have to step up your game
there's an indo tl of the manhua up to chap 6 but it isnt english sadly
I ship kokona with reiichi
personally I ship reiichi with me myself and I
but that may be a bit selfish
oh and him with kanami
Interesteing. Why?
well
reiichi is a really gentle person
who is depressed because of his dark past
kokona is someone who wants to heal and protect her family (aka friends)
kokona was in good terms with lawine and all before they went to scissors
Kokona is in good terms with everyone, even enemies xD
Although she do mocks kanami xD
I just think they will be able to understand each other very well
Reichi having jsut 2 lil stisters, kokona and yvette
tbh asides from the current siblings madde and galatea, reiichi and nobu, i think the rest are free reign
there's smth i really like about strinova and it's making the world feel empty
like it's such nice world but also so empty it feels eerie
So uh, what's up with the character.lore
thats just every genz at this point
life's tough man
🙏
Why is there a child terrorist soldier
HUH
Eika thinks PUS are lame and the scissors are cool
Short answer: basically that. Eika really looks up to Ming as a role model, and one thing after another led to Eika fighting against PUS.
The long answer: see the entirety of CN Season 4 story. Roughly translated version of it is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EdNGMiObdUUiran3gfTRbLwCot6duEoNBw8e_VnEEMo/edit?usp=sharing
Strinova: Season 4 Story - Solar Prominence This is a localization of Strinova’s Season 4 story. The overall story mostly follows the direct translation from the story as it appears in CN with some changes to wording made for clarity and story cohesion. Episode 1: My Day [Teacher]: Students, next...
the story really show how innocent michele is
I wouldn't say innocent, just optimistic and idealistic.
mich got her ass handed dude
The top tier defense character VS the top tier attack character lol
Ming gets armour back from the meows, michelle stood no chance
mich will get her revenge back
Mighty meow will assist
Michele was supposed to apologize to Eika. She messed up. Ming may smack her again xD
But Michelle has an awakening that gives her temporary armor when he drones are destroyed
Hey is getting Flavia + heal nade + smoke nade great idea?
For ranked
Wrong chat bro
I use slow nade and frag
YOURE THE WRONG CHAT
O
depends ur play style
I see
I always go for frag every character
Since I'm good with them sometimes
Like if I'm sniping I get frag kills more than sniper kills
I go for the juicy frag as well. Slow nade + frag combo is fun

Yeah
Also, are gang signs canon in strinova
slow nade with michele meow meow
I had this cool Reiichi frag moment
damn
eika join the scissors hood
Where I was the last one standing , there was a Michelle and my Ally got dead by her
And I was like , yeah I'm dead meat (only flame and main gun)
Then I naded and turned around
It landed and she died , attackers won
reiichi main be like
Reiichi looked so badass that time ngl
It was the B site in that japan like map
ah yeah probably area 88
Yup

man if only ming wasnt in disguise here and stuff
real wholesome moment
michelle got too cuddling when baimo came in LOL
if shes not in disguise
ming as real pus agent, maybe michele will be more close to ming than kokona
fr
what chapter is that
i read the manhua just a few chapter
until the last chapter
chapter 8
ahh okay
Huh, is this why Eika often shows a peace sign during character animations ? It’s like a sign for the scissors?
maybe
scissors enthusiast
thats a lot of time related stuff
Zeno's tortoise is more on Dichotomy
than time
i have a question
how do scissors restore the earth like before
If my theory about the Bablo being a Type 3 power source is correct, Restoring Earth wouldn't be the problem
once they go back to earth and see earth just like no man's land
ahh okay
They could even make the entire supercluster into a singular planet if they want'
dayum
Michelle asked Baimo "But...but you are from Urbino after all. How could the leader of such a powerful business association participate in the assessment of the Opal Elite Team?"
no but fr tho if even pus characters have to ask why baimo is there i wonder why baimo is at pus
Bro doesnt even clarify his reasoning afterwards
"No way? Just treat it as a test of strength (?)"
BRO WHAT TEST OF STRENGTH
what strength is he testing even 
the manhua doesnt seem to properly clarify what he was at pus for even
coupled with the belong to nobunaga thing on his sweater
yuh huh
bromance confirmed?

but idk why
baimo on manhua looks not so different if u compare to game model char
yeah his sweater has every thing like his in game model too
meanwhile others just, not so proportional
yeap
it's hella implied atp
but not outright canon so
take it as you will
im susprised the belong to nobunaga thing is even in the manhua
dayum
we still dont know, whats the "belong to nobunaga" means
fr
but i cant see that sweater actually belonging to him
cause that green would NOT go well
fr
and his attire compared to the others here is ah
more casual
like on the usual baimo has his vest
but at that moment he didnt\
and when he says "oh uh do you know where are the other urbino members"
the others are in their usual attire
They imply in login that his spray can was given by a best friend
Maybe Nobu is his best friend?
Perhaps
so what's mara's deal anyway because i was under the impression death didn't exist in strinova outside of collapse syndrome being super dementia/zombification but if she's stealing people's souls don't they like die
or is she just larping
Rather than stealing soul, her skill is more like able to open connection to soul, hurting it directly
What an encounter with the Crystalline does to a person:
Becomes a chad for some reason
Filipao is a chad
I can confirm
Wrong chat channel, i thought i was in game chat


HUOLIDA CAKE ON THE HEAD
when you want to play but you keep getting errors... ON HER BDAY
Yeah they forgot to add the bday event I think
About Kanami:
- Have issue with parents (never get their attention).
- Her application to be an idol got ignored (rejected) once.
- She got accepted by Arton Industry.
- Her supervisor name is Katie.
- She couldn't formed a group for her debut cuz she's too dazzling and because of that the other ppl who was formed in a group with kanami will be only seen as backup dancer (this is the first time she received such high recognition).
- First debut in the age 15 in the show open audition.
- Having a hard time to get a job in the industry and makes katie hired a talented singer named "Natsuyu" to be her vocal instructor.
- She's not only an idol but also an actress and a guest star (like ai hoshino).
- After 2 years of hard working, her mini album "Heart Sea" reached top popularity for 3 consecutive months and reached critical acclaim with a Diamond certification.
- During first tour, a disaster happened and forced an emergency landing and kanami moved to Cauchy District.
- Ming was the first agent from strinova that's a big fan of kanami and Ming is so happy to meet kanami in Cauchy District.
- Three days before the agency’s special plane arrived, Kanami held a small spontaneous charity performance in Preton (Garbage city). Her performance made every audience in tears because kanami's music was able to restore wiped memory taht happened because of the PUS reincarnation project.
- Kanami being active on scissors organization helping Ming to gain information and with that attitude made Ming believe that kanami is willing to join the scissors and the fact that Kanami is confused and don't know what to do since she really don't want Preton people suffering but she can't involved in such dangerous activities with her identity.
- Kanami's tought is "Who am I? What am I doing?" as Kanami need to understand herself first before she can turly understand the meaning of fighting.
I just read this and wow... I actually am really digging the story now. The conflict between the factions are so pronounced, way more detailed than I expected
Things I learnt:
- Flavia is Michele's supervisor
- Michele is kind of an airhead
- Lawine and Michele came from the same hometown on earth (likely Japan or China)
- Ming will beat Michele in a 1v1 fist fight
- The Navigator really is Celestia's pet, I think the writers understood this as he has little impact on the story and is mostly an observer, the real content is with the playable characters' stories
- Flavia chose Michele for her role
- Flavia can be scary when angry or annoyed
- Michele cheats in a fight with Lawine by using her A1
- Mighty Meow can stringify
- Eika sucks at the guitar
- Eika had a perfect opportunity to say her ult voice line but unfortunately did not
That and how The Scissors have a whole other ALTERNATE theory on why Collapse Syndrome is a thing.
aika sucks at the guitar????? NOOOOO
This is actually pretty interesting
Were they implying Earth somehow has a tether to Strinova?
Well, she made an impulse purchase on what was basically a limited-edition guitar and is now working part-time to pay off the debt...
And without the links of Earth, the people are disintegrating
They also touched upon the idea that Strinovians still behave like humans despite living in a so called utopia, there is still sunrise, sunset, the need to eat, etc
Hard to say, particularly since this is potentially a case of unreliable narration (that being, most info we know about Collapse Syndrome comes from PUS, who ain't perfect at best and have sinister motives at worst). Best interpretation I have is that the "tether" is probably some byproduct of how people transferred their consciousness onto Strinova (i.e. you can't just digitize your mind on a whim).
The whole thing of pus, scissors and urbino all disagreeing with each other is kind of sad mainly because of how amicable they are normally when not fighting, it's only when they're pushed to defend their ideals do they start repping their faction
hello nerds, where i can read good shit lore thingy dingy
my friend mentioned that madd is galatea sister and i cant find any info etc
If you want foundational lore, there is a manhwa in CN only (English fan-translation in progress).
oh yah i saw comment on reddit about that
Otherwise, Strinova Wiki is your friend. Some characters (Maddelena included) have character bios on there, and searching up Story/Season 2 or Season 3 will give translated versions of some story content that is in CN only.
ming certified idol fans
https://strinova.org/wiki/Maddelena (scroll down to the Biography section)
i mean on strinova wiki just like age and stuff, of course i saw that already
ah nevermind
i didnt scroll till the end ahahha
i actually was not payin attention to left side of site idk why maybe cus i saw info about guns and just dip
i mean kinda funny that they cant translate it for us
It's probably non-canon at this point, they've rewritten and redesigned so much
I wouldn't write it off just yet as pretty much everything lines up as a sort of "prequel" to the events of what in-game story there is with the exception of one minor detail. And AFAIK it's less "rewritten and redesigned" and moreso "they just haven't added anthing new."
And I would be more inclined to say that elements of the Season 2-4 stories are at a higher likelihood of being retconned due to the inclusion of the New Bethlehem element.
The seasonal story stuff tho, Rafa is now Yugiri right? And Julian doesn't exist anymore

Rafa is now Yugiri, Galatea no longer has firm indication that she's also part of New Bethlehem, and Julian DNE.
About Michele:
- Michele is a gamer.
- Her father is the leader of Mighty Meow.
- Michele's using her gamer mindset for her daily life.
- Michele and her dad always keeping promise as gamer code.
- Michele love her dad so much and admire him so much.
- Her skill pawtector is a gift from her dad for passing the PUS entry exam.
- Not like usual before her dad going out for mission, he didn't promise with michele like usual. In result, Michele found out that her dad failed at mission this time and get a coma.
- Michele continues to receive slander and gossip about her father non stop.
- Michele was devastated and helpless when her father was no longer with her (sleep in coma) but eventually recovered thx to the robot that gifted by his father and she embarks a new adventure and she want to expose the truth about her father case.
- Michele's thought is "What kind of investigator should I be? What's the truth behind my father's case?" as she wanna move forward and to know what's the truth about her father.
her dad was a best pus agent right?
I dont really know about her dad position
Btw i forgot tto add something about kanami
That she's an invisiible member of scissors
invisible member?
Invisible? But thats Yvette's passive not Kanami's!
So no one other than scissors it self that kanaami is a scissor
ooh okay
That's also why she's a sniper
its different
She hide in the dark and shot from a far

EN vo
So is there any new story explain the outbreak mode in-game?
Or they just opened the mode and nothing else
I dont have calabiyau installed so can't check

It's related to new map, Ocarnus
One of those crystal zombies is sealed inside a purple crystal box on B site of Ocarnus
Hey guys cursed thought, I remember reading s2 translation. It mentioned that eika is born in strinova. How TF is that possible
Strinova is an alternate dimension, not a real digiverse
cuz what is lore consistency
That's the thing how do they make more strinovans. It's canon that highschool is for highschool students.
when a mother strinovan and a father strinovan love each other very much...
How do they merge data? Are they synths?
its cuz anachronism aka "ignores lore whenever convenient"
From what I understood, P.U.S. tower got bombed by scissors, and they had the alien form there, experimenting with it and crystals, and... it escaped?
Nope, it's from the new map
This map has quite alot of references to "outbreak mode" aka the zombie mode thats been asked for so long. I didn't know about some of the gimics in this map
Kara picchu is not ded meow, play kara picchu meow! #calabiyau #strinova #meow
Look when they show the crystal box
Oh, so it got changed.
Intercourse ofcourse, They have tech that allows them to go to space, tech that allows them to create a planetary defense railguns (base 404), tech that can make people teleport(khesmet), tech to manipulate gravity (space labs) and you're telling me they don't have basic medical infrastructure?
Yes, I guess this faction is probably the reason why the first Strinovians seal the place down and abandon it
Intercourse 🤤
Gotta be patient.
I'm stuck at work for the next 7h, so I can't check the cn event
strinovan life form is purely digital
idk wym
I think the point was that why is a birth sequence even necessary
If it's a digital realm theoretically you could just, spawn people in
That or they have the equivalent of birthing but via digital methods
if they were purely digital they wouldnt even need resources
why the hell would they need bablo
copy + paste
but u dont age
Just grow up
Didn't I already explain that in my theory
the one that possibly made people here think that strinova is a digital universe
Why are you named anantashesha
Looks and sounded neat
People probably started thinking strinova is a purely digital universe because I used easy to understand tech stuff for my theory
I think they don't have the method of creating the "soul"
So yall saying aika is born in strinova yet the strinovians dont age
Are they born adults or they stop aging
Just what im about to ask
Not aging means their appearance wont change as well right


considering how collapse syndrome behaves pretty similarly to the mara struck in hsr, i assume strinovans age like the xianzhou people do
As my theory imposed before, They're Information based lifeforms now, not Digital
If you know Stellaris, They're like the Unbidden now
after a certain age, they dont age physically
at least that's how i view it
Like how the ppl of xianzhou were blessed with the gift of immortality after they left their old world and went in search for it and stuff
similar concept, just different setting
even if we go with the idea that the strinovans are purely digital, you can still combine code with code to create new code
Now we think we know how eika was made
and ppl with certain powers could also have idk a dlc or smth in their code
Strinovians can change their appearance at will iirc, but not like massive change like face plastic surgery
They probably age till 25 (women) 30(men), then their body stays at the prime.
Merry christmas
No way, it's padoru time
On the aging thing - I'm reasonably sure the intent is that Strinova doesn't literally stop people from "growing older" but it stops aging in the sense of "all the physical and mental deterioration that comes with the natural aging process."
Mara (new char) is 36
doesn't look 36. maybe 25
(pretty much all age info is found from game files, and it says Mara is 36)
Not sure where youre getting 25 being the hard cap limit lol 😭
Especially since Flavia is 26, and she's been in global since day 1
I think the point being (generally speaking) is a sort of "aging but with a cap" to get around all of the BAD stuff associated with aging (AKA the aforementioned degradation of physical/mental capabilities).
That's probably the case yeah
I'll be in 2y xD
isnt mental disease like half of the games story or smth
like they lose their memory
Yep, and it’s called Collapse Syndrome.
I gather Collapse Syndrome has something to do with the different dimension affecting them psychologically. I havent progressed Celestias story far enough to get a full grasp yet
Celestia’s character stories don’t really give the most context onto the actual causes of Collapse Syndrome - the two leading theories of its root cause are found instead in the Season 4 story (CN only) or the supplemental manhwa (also CN only).
lemme go CN rq to find out ill let you all know what it says
No need. Seasons 2 and 3 already have localizations on the Strinova Wiki, and I may or may not have myself translated both the supplemental manhwa and Season 4's story.
But if you can understand Mandarin, go and give those a read for yourself.
Things I learnt from this:
- Audrey lost her memories due to collapse syndrome, the old Audrey was more ruthless
- Flavia and Galatea meeting produces as much tension as you'd expect from two bombshells trying to outwit each other and happen to be on opposing factions
- Audrey and Bai Mo do not like each other
- Flavia has the position and power to instantly conscript Kokona and Michele to work under her spec ops squad
- Flavia's position within PUS is so secretive, Kokona and Michele don't recognise her at all
- Fuschia works/worked directly under Bai Mo
- Bai Mo plays Just Dance
- Fuchsia's ability works via inhalation of a "Crystalline" substance administered by gas mask that enhances her senses
- The Scissors do not harm civilians
I think in a weird way, this chapter also highlights how Urbino can fight each other in game
collapse syndrome could be a way for the devs to completely rewrite a character if people don't like it
it's what it sort of feels like
Flavia works with Information
Even members of CIA don't know much of each others or what other members does because each one's files are classified
Flavia and galatea basically 2 moms arguing
audrey got hit by collapse juice once
in the story
but i think her memory loss was related to an accident instead
also idk wym audrey dont vibe with baimo, hes literally her only ally on the urbino board
ig they had a dispute with sponsoring celestia but iirc thats not really baimos decision since hes pressured by the rest of the board to drop support
maybe she has beef with bai mo?
she doesnt really
considering baimo is the only reason shes not fired
or at least the beef is a one way thing lol
It seems that only superstrings can do it. There's a few lines about the navigator being unable to do it that imply as much.
Iirc in one of translations for one of he seasons (the one set in Cauchy iirc) she says something about letting grove holdings take it back from bai mo group
damn
Possible misremembering so yeah I am spreading misinformation by accident
Weak, spread misinformation on purpose
its okay tho
the lore of every characters still..
mysterious
dev need to make team that focus on the story somehow
they dont know how to cook a story
and they're relying on the theorists to figure that out
just like a certain blue blocky man
they have a pretty good idea of where the story is heading but
they dont focus onit
which leads to it not being fleshed out as much as it should be
I guess their priority is making the game itself good before doing anything with the lore
both of them are trying to charm each other bruh
Well the story got "cancelled" before so I guess they're trying to make lore bits instead of the full story, avoiding getting cancelled by CN fans again


You have to beat her at chess
i feel like she will pretend to be impressed with a smile
then as I leave she flips the board when im not looking
Not bad kitty
She would say
Yes
ara ara
Lol
i would let her torture me ofc
.
its totally painless right
I'm feeling tortured

i cant imagine if she come to my house as butterfly

👀
Galatea "good mom"
are you sure about that?
That time of the month
my imagination is to wild
It's fine
im sure :D
I just don't think of myself doing that to others
she will take care of me :D
Lol

Ye
What did she do

There's a reason why madde has amnesia
Collapse syndrome?
maybe gala do something to her
Huh

Who knows
dev needs to dig down the story more
People superdash away from you
Oh

Truth of reality
im not that crazy tho
Heh

I guess my brain is in fog
well thats normal
dreams always weird
i always experienced the fall from height dream
wait, i still curious about this
what happen to madde
Man imagine Galatea is just gas lighting Madde to being her sister
Dam
But then Madde remembers lots of stuff especially how she just wants to one up her sister
She shit talks gala in game a lot
WEAK!!! We make each other worse.
You don't fix her. You make her scam better.

I wonder if they're going to retcon Galatea as being part of New Bethelem
Or just retcon the faction as a whole
They probably will.
Btw was new Bethlehem really just pure evil?
Also why did CN hate it
Surely they wouldn't retcon the entire faction
Audrey has some lore relating to them right
Idk how they gonna retcon, they changed the gender of one of the member
I mean, it's probably easier to change lore of characters that haven't released yet
So you can't really call it a retcon, the lore never released
audrey was implied to be close with new bethlehem before she lost her memories, thats what I inferred
they hurt Audrey, china loves Audrey, so they hate New Betleyem.... probably xD
From a writing standpoint, it's also an obvious big bad with no currently known redeemable/sympathetic qualities in a setting whose worldbuiling is based heavily on the idea of "no one side is pure good or evil."

Maybe some will be interested in this
Official ming story
I really want to see a 3 way battle one day between PUS, Scissors and Urbino
They aren't letting him redeem himself, one of the major complaints was the"whitewashing"
And so it begins...
thats not gonna let the game progress much
Hm
New Bethlehem is gone and they've moved its former members to the existing factions, so the Crystalline will be their second shot at a 4th faction
still cant believe that the CN players hated the idea of actual terrorists lmao
when counter strike is a pretty popular game
I mean
I'll be blunt
"Actual terrorists" wouldn't even fly here since it's just what P.U.S. could say about The Scissors
But that's it
Nobody else would have any reason to label it such
so i wonder what the fate of the existing New Bethlehem members would end up
and what kind of altering will they do
Well, Rafa has been completely retconned into Yugiri, Galatea exists with not much other lore to go off of, and Julian's getting genderbent.
And depending on what the story is behind Outbreak, Seasons 2-4 of CN story might also be completely retconned.
i need julian to be an absolute bastard towards audrey still
genderbent or not, need them to stay as an unbothered hateful queen
They were deleted because they were hateful?
.
I really like Audrey
Sorry to hear that though
Ye she can be annoying when on an enemy team
I know the feeling 💀
For me she is a nostalgic character
They like Audrey that much...?
Chat ded
Me when I find out that the leader of a large organization is some street kid
baimo doing baimo things
Until a great Bai Mo decides to destroy your day on ranked

Lol
Rarely happens, but it be devastating when I see he has 25 kills when the match ends
The great Bai Mo's are way high up
