A childhood friend of Jade Curtiss, Nephry Balfour, and Dist. Peony is a very laidback, unconventional monarch. He trusts Jade explicitly and is perhaps the only man to truly understand him. Peony has a soft spot for animals called "rappigs", which he keeps as pets named after people he likes (including Jade, Nephry, Saphir/Dist, Aslan Frings, Gelda Nebilim, and Luke). He was once in love with Nephry, even setting aside a mansion he intended to share with her. However, because she was a "commoner", they could not wed. In the end, she married someone else and the emperor has never completely moved on (as he now still refuses to marry any other). This has not deterred him from being something of a lecher, however, as he eagerly accepts any opportunity to ogle women (most notably, by providing free passes to the Keterburg spa, and then providing lewd bathing suits as gifts). - Wikipedia.

Luke fon Fabre, the spoiled son of a noble from the kingdom of Kimlasca-Lavaldear, has been confined inside his father's mansion ever since he was kidnapped seven years ago by a rival country, the Malkuth Empire. Now Luke's memory of the life he led before is missing, and a strange voice, which only he can hear, has been calling out to him ever since. One day while training with his mentor, Van Grants, a strange woman called Tear breaks into the mansion with the sole intent of taking Van's life. During the struggle Luke is transported far from home, along with Tear, and now that Luke has finally gained the freedom he's been dreaming of, what awaits him in the outside world will shatter everything he's ever known about himself.

Fonons. Essential components of all matter on planet Auldrant. 
Ages ago, a new type of fonon was discovered&mdash;the Seventh Fonon. Its discovery threw humanity into chaos, for if one could use the Seventh Fonon, one could learn the future. Wars over the Seventh Fonon raged across the lands, ending only when the miasma&mdash;a poison from within the planet&mdash;covered the entire world. This is when Yulia appeared. 
A fonist skilled in prophecy, Yulia saw thousands of years into the future and foresaw a way to seal away the miasma. With the guidance of her prophecies, humanity sealed the miasma deep within the planet. 
Over two thousand years passed. 
The world is ruled by Yulia's prophecy, known as the Score. People believe in the coming &ldquo;unprecedented prosperity&rdquo; promised in the Score, never straying from the path set forth in the Score which will lead them to that prosperity. They look to the Score as revealed by the Order of Lorelei, the religion Yulia founded, and hold that the greatest virtue is to follow the Score faithfully. 
Yulia's Score tells of a young man who is necessary in order to bring &ldquo;unprecedented prosperity.&rdquo; His name is Luke fon Fabre. An heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, he was kidnapped as a child by the kingdom's enemy, the Malkuth Empire. Since his return he has been confined to his family's manor for his own safety. He has no idea of the evil that now draws close.
