[Karaten] Astrology Research Paper Release
#1
A few weeks ago, several scholars from Karaten came with their assistants to Sigrogana, and proceeded a study aiming to deepen the connection of the people to the stars. With the assistance of many people who took the time to fill out their bizarre questionnaire, it seems those scholars have come to their conclusions and have released a public research paper for everyone to read. Surely, even a few copies could spread to the other continents... but what starts in Karaten will end in Karaten.
(OOC: This concept is not official lore - this was entirely made by me based on the playerbase + a survey I had up for awhile. Take it as you will! <3)

A Guide to Sigrogonian Astrology
By Aerith Arosa (and company)
Sigrogonian astrology is a slightly obscure topic, as most people, civilian or not, have little to no understanding of actual astrology or what it means. By all accounts, nobody really pays attention deeply into it besides the scholars and the like because it, in reality, matters little to the people as it’s not something that affects them in their daily lives. People just tend to use their sign and maybe get a dinky horoscope. I would like to prospect that in many ways, astrology affects all of us; and that is why this all exists! To create tangible astrology guide based on public survey and research, along with how vocation can play a part into what fate has in store for you.
It would be good to keep in mind that these things do NOT apply to everyone - you are your own person, after all.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the astrology survey - a lot of data was both confirmed and deconfirmed because of your answers, and we really appreciate the help in making this the most accurate we could make it!



The Celestial Signs
Sigrogana has eight signs, as follows: Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Pluto, Mercury, Neptune, and Venus. We generally have no idea who originally named them within the astrology community or what these names actually mean, but they’ve become commonplace within Sigrogana as a whole for the most part because of their connection to the very far-away celestial gods. All eight signs are unique in the slight boost that they seem to place within the people who’re born under their light, as well as the influence on people’s personalities. That isn’t to say that a celestial sign will dictate everything about a person - and that isn’t what this is an attempt at. However, these’re the notable similarities between these years of research and survey that we have found.


Uranus
Uranus is the celestial sign of wisdom and light, who’s prominent months are the 7th, 8th, and 9th month.
Uranus are the most balanced of the signs. They often have great convictions for their beliefs and goals, and are dedicated fighters and faithful until the end. Uranus signs are also very much loving and caring of their friends and family, devoting much of their time to maintaining those kinships and showing loyalty. They also make amazing leaders, with enough charisma and rational thought together that makes you want to believe in them. At their best, they are dedicated and caregiving, and at their worst they are set-in-their-ways and inflexible.
(OOC EXAMPLES:)
Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer), Iroh (ATLA), Monika (DDLC), All Might (BNHA), Makoto Naegi (DR), Mami Tomoe (PMMM), Aerith (Final Fantasy), Asgore (UT), Judy Hopps (Zootopia), Barbara (Genshin), Rarity (MLP), Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tail), Hero (OMORI), Yu Narukami (Persona 4), Barney the Dinosaur (Barney), Shion Sonozaki (Higurashi), Sportacus (Lazytown)
Saturn
Saturn is the celestial sign of liberation and freedom, who’s prominent months are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month.
Saturn signs are motivated by adventure over anything else in their lives - craving new experiences, with the wilder and more exciting the better. They are confident and energetic, ready to fight and win whatever comes at them; monster or life. They make exceptional leaders, but they also tend to be careless and impulsive due to their need for “excitement” in their lives. Saturn signs also tend to be charismatic, as well as self-reflective and journey-focused. They love the way to their goals much more than the goal itself, as every step of it is learning. Their willingness to trust people can get them into trouble often enough, but Saturn signs are very resilient, with the ability to bounce right back up from injury, emotional trauma, etc. which leaves them the toughest of the celestial signs. At their best, they are brave and optimistic, and at their worst they are quick-to-anger and selfish.

John / Spectre Man


Jupiter
Jupiter is the celestial sign of thunder and lightning, who’s prominent months are the 6th, 7th, and 8th month.
Jupiter signs are often incredibly agreeable people, who’re enthusiastic and future-oriented. Jupiters usually always have the big picture in mind, and don’t sweat the small details. They’re very much into trend-following as well, whether it be battle, fashion, food - anything. Because of this, they’re also very good supportive allies, but that doesn’t mean they can’t lead if they put their energy into it - they’re the generic protagonist type in most studied cases after all. They’re also often very luck dependent - explaining why Jupiter signs seem to have more luck than the other celestial signs. Even when times come where they’re affected by bad luck, they can often shrug it off and move past the misfortune into greener pastures. Jupiter signs can also be very faithful friends, but when that faith is broken - it’s typically impossible to fix because they can really hold a grudge, and they have no fear of stopping in their tracks and leaving if they don’t like something or someone. At their best, they are energetic and bold, and at their worst they are unoriginal and arrogant.

Mars
Mars is the celestial sign of war and fire, who’s prominent months are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th month.
Mars signs tend to be ambitious and driven, with a specific path in mind to all of their end goals that they will work towards with no stop or break. They are naturally curious and extroverted, having no problems asking for help or making friends, along with their often excitable and motivated stance. Mars signs are also often goal-oriented, as well as past-reflective. You could probably ask most Mars signs and they’d be able to tell you about the things they remember doing that they could’ve done differently if they could. They are also brutally stubborn, refusing to let go of things done to them or viewpoints that they have, and they do not enjoy being challenged on them. At their best, they are determined and friendly, and at their worst they are vindictive and petty.
(OOC EXAMPLES:)
Mikan Tsumiki (SDR), Hinata Hyuga (Naruto), Madoka Kaname (PMMM), Rem (Re:Zero), Toriel (UT), Dream World Basil (OMORI), Retsuko (AR), Dimitri Blaiddyd (Fire Emblem)Fluttershy (MLP), Marge Simpson, Double D (EEnE), Freddy Bensen (iCarly), Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy), Ralsei (DR), Sarvente (FNF), Wadanohara (Okegom), Yuuki Mishima (Persona 5), Jon Arbuckle

Pluto
Pluto is the celestial sign of secrets and shadow, who’s prominent months are the 10th, 11th, and 12th month.
Pluto signs carefully tread the line between genius and maniac, being the eccentrics of the celestial signs. They march to the beat of their own drum - sometimes literally - and care little for negative opinions others may have of them. At their core, they’re hipsters through and through that don’t care for popular trends. Pluto signs are also able to make friends quickly, but can seem desperate or clingy because of the perception that they’re “weird” or “outlandish”. Because of this Pluto signs are extremely loyal, and are quick to offer their non-traditional approaches to subjects and problems to their friends and allies. However, Pluto signs have a hard time holding their tempers if they feel they’re being belittled or ignored by the people they approach. At their best, they are creative and innovative, and at their worst they are resentful and nasty.
(OOC EXAMPLES:)
Misa Amane (DN), Korra (TLOK), Eijirou Kirishima (BNHA), Donkey (Shrek), Kaito Momota (DRV3), John Egbert (HS), Undyne (UT), Ryuji Sakamoto (Persona 5), America (Hetalia), Inosuke (DS), Anakin Skywalker, Paimon (Genshin), Jojo Siwa, Bill Clinton, Boyfriend (FNF), Kel (OMORI), Mia Khalifa, Fortnite Ninja


Mercury
Mercury is the celestial sign of boundaries and ice, who’s prominent months are the 12th, 1st, and 2nd month.
Mercury signs are the most rational and decisive of the celestial signs, who’re confident public speakers and often charismatic enough to make anybody believe their convictions. While they’re fine using those abilities in both personal and business alike, Mercury signs have a strong moral sense - they know exactly what right and wrong is, and will be upset when not everyone sees it the way they do. They’re, at heart, idealists that can be upset when things don’t go the way they hoped, and in the same vein can be melancholic and passive. Their idealism, however, gives them vibrant imaginations, which leads many of them to enjoy fiction books or comics. At their best, they are intelligent and tranquil, and at their worst they are cold and unfeeling.
(OOC EXAMPLES:)
Light Yagami (DN), Katsuki Bakugo (BNHA), Bakuya Togami (DR), Goro Akechi (Persona 5), Olivier Mira Armstrong (FMA), Kyubey (PMMM), Lady Dimitrescu (RE8), Gilgamesh (Fate/Zero), Margaret Thatcher, Morgana (Persona 5), William Afton (FNAF), Johnny Silverhand (2077), Boss Baby, Daddy Dearest (FNF)


Neptune
Neptune is the celestial sign of water and long life, who’s prominent months are the 4th, 5th, and 6th month.
Neptune signs most often have strong, vivid imaginations beyond the scope of other celestial signs, even so much as to have an otherworldly-like quality to them that can draw people in. They’re enigmatic to a fault, and even hard to understand at times - but often they aren’t attempting to be, they’re just lost in their daydreams. Neptune signs are highly emotional, having higher sensitivity than most and a trend to generalized anxiety. They are also creative and make fantastic artists in any medium - but can suffer crippling bouts of depression when things don’t match the vision they had in mind. Neptune signs can also be forgetful and have trouble following through on plans - no matter how in-stone and organized - and could use a shove in the right direction to keep going on them. At their best, they are loving and creative, and at their worst they are despairing and perfection-obsessed.
(OOC EXAMPLES:)

Venus
Venus is the celestial sign of love and fertility, who’s prominent months are 9th, 10th, and 11th month.
Venus is - out of all of the celestial signs - the sign with the potential to do both the most good and the most harm. They can be caring and helpful one moment, and destructive and vindictive in the next. They’re very adaptive people, being able to adjust themselves to any and all situations - as if taking a mask on and off at will within their heart and soul. They are obsessively dedicated, and willing to throw themselves into anything and anyone they fancy - and because of this they can be extremely powerful and loyal allies. However, Venus signs are very selective on who their true friends are - you could think you’re their best friend and in reality do not actually know a whole lot about them. They can also trend towards jealousy, resenting people they see as more well-off or successful than them. Venus signs are extremely competent and inspiring, but can also be a force of chaos for the worst - and could do with a well-adjusted friend or partner who can keep them in check. At their best, they are motherly and fun-loving, and at their worst they are mysterious and manipulative.
(OOC EXAMPLES:)
Asuka Soryu (NGE), Vriska Serket (HS), Ezra Scarlet (FT), Sae Niijima (Persona 5), Tatsumaki (OPM), Yellow Diamond (SU), Hiiragi Kagami (LS), Jakuzura Nonon (Kill la Kill), Eugene Krabs (Spongebob), Yanfei (Genshin), Applejack (MLP), Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, Bowser (Mario), Bubble Baass (Spongebob) Roz (Monsters, Inc.), Duck Guy (DHMIS), Porky Minch (Earthbound)
___________________________________________
The Sway of Fate
The “Sway of Fate'' is a concept that was loosely developed hand-in-hand with celestial star signs, theorizing that a person’s fated vocation is also an impact on their personality. Oftentimes, you can see why someone picks the vocation they do based on their personality, but the “Sway of Fate” tends to imply that, in the same way as star signs, the vocation that fate assigns you plays a part into your personality as well. As said before, however, this does not apply to everyone, since people are individuals, and one can indeed have a sway that doesn’t match their vocation… but research has shown that individual’s sways are often more accurate than star signs regardless of vocation. Many indeed actually just flow with whatever Sway fits them best.
The Sway of Rhythm
(Arbalest - Boxer)
The Sway of Rhythm belongs to fate’s destined fighters, and often have struggling lives - whether in childhood or trying to make their mark on the world. They can simply not just accept things the way they are or come to them in life, preferring change and action to blind acceptance of the ‘way life is’ - making them extremely goal-focused, and they can rarely stay still for very long. Rhythm Sways are also oftentimes not very traditional either, even being eccentric or hard to understand at times, but if there’s one thing you can understand about them, it’s that they’re dependable. If you need something done - you can always call for them and rely upon them. At their best, they are great problem-solvers and relentless, and at their worst they’re ruthless and impulsive.

The Sway of Zephyr
(Magic Gunner - Firebird)
The Sway of Zephyr belongs to fate’s free and flexible. They often leave an impact wherever they go, and can sweep others into their wake like a leaf in the wind - which often also makes them hard to tie down or stop. Zephyr Sway tend to be very personal people, and exhibited heroism or generosity can simply be an offshoot of their pursuit goals and stories. They lead by example unintentionally, and seem surprised when people look up to or even idolize them. Oftentimes they underestimate themselves, but that isn’t to say that they always have low self-esteem - Zephyr Sways are just doing their own thing the way they like doing it. At their best, they are motivated and adaptable, and at the worst can be avoidant and uncaring.
The Sway of Catastrophe
(Rune Magician - Ghost)
The Sway of Catastrophe are fate’s chosen vessels of despair - and that might make them sound like their Sway should be avoided, but simply put Catastrophe Sways oftentimes have incredible wisdom and empathy. They understand that misery and doom are inevitable in the world, and are willing to be the hand someone needs to feel safer or better. They aren’t healers, they’re just fantastic sympathizers that support those in pain by letting them know they’re there for you. A Catastrophe Sway is less like a curate or doctor, and more of the type of friend you vent to after a bad day - rather than practical advice. They’re not exactly the kindly martyr type either, as Catastrophe Sways can still exhibit emotions like anger and sadness like anybody else. At their best, they are non-judgemental and wise, and at their worst they can be bitter and fatalistic.

The Sway of Kindred
(Verglas - Bonder - Black Knight)
The Sway of Kindred are fate’s family-oriented loyalists. They are bound by the strength of their bonds - family, friends, pets, Youkai, and all of it in between. They bloom forth from companionship, and exhibit unbelievable loyalty to those they care for. While they are absolutely fantastic leaders, Kindred Sway tends to be more inspirational than commandeering - prophets rather than generals, and teachers rather than lawmakers. They can also dispense excellent advice from their experiences and wise minds, even when their own lives are riddled with despair and disorganization. They can often be found on sinking ships and in grave situations, forcing the endeavor forward with their sheer force of will - and no matter how bad things get, you can always count on them to be there to the end. At their best, they are charismatic and uplifting, and at their worst can be sullen and set-in-their-ways.


The Sway of Soul
(Monk - Kensei)
The Sway of Soul are fate's self-reflectionists, and are often very concerned with themselves and their identity. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to call them ‘self-obsessed’, but they’re not narcissistic. They simply want to understand their own minds and existences. Forging a unique identity can be very important to a Soul Sway, and every decision they make or action they do goes towards building the narrative of their own story. That isn’t to say that Soul Sways only care about themselves, and in fact they can be extremely caring and loyal friends and partners - they just tend to assume that everyone follows the same way of thinking as them. Oftentimes Soul Sways have more-or-less complete control of their emotions inside and out. At their best they are competent and steady, and at their worst they can be inflexible and cold.
The Sway of Heavens
(Evoker - Shapeshifter)
The Sway of Heavens fate’s creative planners - and are, as the name suggests, concerned with the big picture. They’re incredibly patient, taking fate as it comes and working around it. That isn’t to imply that Heavens Sways are pushovers, they just chose to pick their fights carefully with their seemingly endless wisdom and creativity. Heavens Sways tend to believe that you have to let something burn to be able to build it better again next time, and tend to be innovators - concerned with adding new things and concepts to the world - recycling the new into the old, the rotten into the fresh, the unfair into the just, and the like. To them, the journey is more important than the destination - but the goal has to be worth getting there. At their best, they are steady and creative, and at their worst can be apathetic and vague.
The Sway of Judgement
(Tactician - Engineer)
The Sway of Judgement are fate’s grand thinkers and tacticians - but that doesn’t mean they always have the answers. They’re always concerned with the most rational train of thought, and are only comfortable when they have a hold on all of the choices and possibilities laid out before them. Because of this, it can leave them frozen and unable to act while they process the information and formulate a plan - but they are fluid, with unbelievable grace and precision once they’re able to do so with little disruption. They’re amazing builders and architects as well, as they are able to separate their emotions from planning a building. At their best, they are innovators and just, and at their worst they can be indecisive and stubborn.
The Sway of Fortune
(Ranger - Lantern Bearer - Spellthief)
The Sway of Fortune are fate’s knowledge-seekers, driven to learn and understand the world at large. Of course, they are also concerned with literal fortune, but much fortune is found through knowledge. They have the ability to research many sources of information and create something useful out of them by weeding out the lies and misinformation. This description may give you the image of a Karaten classroom with many introverted scholars with their noses in books, but that’s almost the complete opposite of Fortune Sways. They have fierce intensity for knowledge and fortune that can disturb or upset others at times, and they aren’t concerned with laws or societal norms - often taking the laws as suggestion, rather than using work-arounds or loopholes. At their best they are resourceful and driven, and at their worst they can be fussy and insensitive.
The Sway of Void
(Hexer - Void Assassin)
The Sway of Void are fate’s secret-keepers. They are not scared of the unknown, or using the potential of sources that the world at large may find wrong or morally impractical. They value the mystery of the world, and don’t mind not having all of the answers as long as they get what they want in the end. Void Sways prefer casting doubt on well-known information and propaganda than seeking knowledge themselves, as an attempt to make the world question if things are really as they seem and truthful - without caring much for authorities or widely-accepted knowledge. At their best they are wise and intuitive, and at their worst can be dismissive and apathetic.
The Sway of Mania
(Demon Hunter)
The Sway of Mania are often colored as fate’s villains and forces of chaos, but like many things it’s simply a gross stereotype of the Mania Sway. They simply have a great distaste for lies and false ideals along with the stability that they can bring to many. To them, the truth will always be more important than a populace’s comfort - and they have no hesitation in making that clear to those around them. They often prefer anarchy of the wilderness or lawless towns to any forms of civilization, which they consider to be full of tyrants and ‘sheep’, and can be extremely difficult to convince otherwise - especially when they’re extremely attached to their opinion. At their best they are revolutionary and fearless, and at their worst they are cruel and vicious.

The Sway of Faith
(Priest)
The Sway of Faith are… fate’s faithful, as the name suggests. They are driven by their convictions before anything else - doing right for right’s sake, and are quick to come to the aid of others who are suffering in any way. Their views of the world can be extremely black and white, so the “right” thing to them may not always be the worldwide opinion. They put great faith into loyalty and imagination, usually dreaming of how to create a better world - whether they’re a part of it or not. That’s not to say that Faith Sways can’t be destructive, especially if they believe they can replace the corrupt with the just - they’re just not chaotic, per-se. At their best they are positive and warm, and at their worst they are narrow-minded and selfish.
The Sway of Life
(Aquamancer - Grand Summoner)
The Sway of Life fate’s healers of the world, concerned with the betterment of themselves and those around them - marching onwards eternally for  positive progress. They are extremely empathetic, and have an intuitive understanding of the suffering around them - as well as the best ways to fix it. Their capabilities can be both physical and magical - as well as mental - but that’s not to say that they’ll always give you a cure you’ll like. They also often put others' needs in front of their own, causing their own suffering when they themselves end up the one in trouble, which can cause them to grow bitter as their own needs have been pushed aside. At their best they are caretakers and nurturers, and at their worst are passive-aggressive and pushy.
