Nightmares in Flames is a comic in production from the Dissonant Rhapsody canon. It serves as a prequel to Kirenyun's Imprinted and an indirect continuation of several other smaller plots. Considered to be the first plot to start off a major portion of Dissonant Rhapsody's lore, Nightmares in Flames lays down the foundation for later plots and provides critical lore for many worlds.

Overview

Season 1

Being the most lengthy season, Season 1's time frame spans approximately 12 years through the eyes of the lead protagonist, Li-Ten Ta'na. Starting off in what is present-day Kirenyun, a 7 year old Li-Ten and his hermit father, Kezurai Ta'na, live relatively isolated from the world without any knowledge of the constant military skirmishes the enemy Syelsumoii and local rebel resistances have. Upon finding out about the world beyond their humble territory, Li-Ten unlocks a complicated and dangerous world at war....on top of learning of his heritage as the son of a genetically engineered 'war machine'.

Setting

Za Voutsen Towers, Kikiir Prefecture
Nightmares in Flames takes place in Mantua, more specifically in various notable prefectures that become nations by the time of Kirenyun's Imprinted setting. However in this time period, Mantua is under Syelsumoii control, and is therefore called "Käärmeäiti."(Planet Karmeaiti).
The Hevonenmaa Prefecture: Outskirts

Notable locations that are visited by the main cast are in Kirenyun/Vrachenny(Hevonenmaa Prefecture), Siselheim(Kiikir Prefecture), and the Suiiaika region in Eastern Mantua for Season 1.

In terms of its proximity to its sequel, Kirenyun's Imprinted, Nightmares in Flames takes place roughly 40+ years before SCT. The time frame is not definite and can change at any time as the story's plot is further developed. Though it is confirmed that Nightmares in Flames and The Grenian Conspiracy: Sons of Autonomy happen within a close time frame from each other.

Dramatis Personae

Main characters

  • [Spotter] Li-Ten Ta'na:The main character of the series. A spotter assistant to his superior Lieutenant Varen Varikoi. Li-Ten is a reserved, analytical, though curious and almost innocent young man who's only link to the military is his talent around a bow and arrow. His calm nature is almost eerie.
  • [Lieutenant] Varen Varikoi: A major character in the series. The sarcastic, detailed, refined Lieutenant who's always wrapped around a thick veil of dark humor and pessimistic quips. Sometimes there is a lazy air to him due to his reluctance to approach situations "the long way", much preferring to not complicate his work and keep it as short as possible. However, his attitudes towards life and war do not inhibit his skills. Aside from being a formidable sniper, Varen is well versed with the art of war and has many tricks up his sleeve.
  • [Cadet]Noriyuske Ado: Cadet Noriyuske, or Nori for short, is an Iyoza boy who somehow ended up in the Hevonenmaa Prefecture, and eventually joining the local rebel group and their militia. Nori is an optimist, almost annoyingly so according to Varen, though that does not make him naive. Nori has a keen eye for spotting danger and is often seen at Li-Ten's side assisting him. Though he assists, Nori is a capable fighter on his own and depends on nobody to help him when he is under enemy fire.

Supporting Characters

  • Kezurai Ta'na: Formerly AR-48, Kezurai is the father of Li-Ten. He is described to be silent, much preferring to gesture what he wants or grunt when he is displeased, though he is capable of full human speech. Kezurai spends his days hunting to feed himself and his child and is always in a constant, never-ending state of alertness wherever he goes. Because of some differences, Kezurai and his former lover, Li-Ten's mother, would always end up participating in arguments that ended in physical violence. This caused Li-Ten's mother to run away with their unborn second child, disowning Li-Ten in the process as well. Despite his quiet yet dangerous nature, he does seem to remotely care about his son, going to great lengths of isolating him so that Li-Ten could remain at his side forever.

Antagonists
