Diaoyuan's Narratological Outfits (critique requested)

Arcyriea

  1. Liberating Avenger

This outfit stands for the time when all the planet’s dwellers lives were turned over upside down by the cataclysm of an alien conquest. All of a sudden, a war breaks out without any warning. It is the Vauqroks who have declared it, peaceful peoples from below them suddenly gone mad and frighted as they ran for their own lives across the street, the Vauqroks relish in destroying the most beautiful and largest cities on the planet. Regardless of all those scenes in the past which have captured in people’s heart, hopelessness and devastation in the nation, she wore her personal combat uniform symbiotically and fought for her country, Taiwan.

What was unexpected was to see Diaoyuan, who was 16 years old and studied high school at the time, essentially become the symbol of independence for everyone in Taiwan. The very beginning of the year 2120 can be regarded particularly as the moment of actively engagement against the Kauvroks, while she stayed firm with iron will, and helping herself along with those around her.

Apart from making herself looks like the symbol of Taiwan itself, the beautiful curtain might also be the literal weapon that can immediately help her fight for her motherland. As a result, Diaoyuan’s indomitable nature along with the firm attitude and the dream of her hometown can be symbolized through her immortal strength. She sees them as the likeminded her since she herself comes from an environment that makes her want to become motivated to go further. The barriers were not able to stop her from going forward, she was determined.

Armed up and ready, she herself struck the first round of bullets against the Vauqroks, becoming a liberating avenger and fight to liberate her country from their gasp of domination.

  1. Highschool Uniform

Prior to the tragic events of 2120, Diaoyuan was a highly regarded student, when she was stills attends high school. She was 16 years old and with her whole life ahead of her, she did very well in subjects that she naturally excel in her own passions and her teachers were impressed because she was reliable and hard-working. While Diaoyuan may have been highly intelligent, she was also very kind and pure.

Yet, as the prospect of an alien invasion got nearer, Diaoyuan's previous pure and simple-minded character started building up tension. Whether it be the inevitable fear of annihilation and torment continually weighing on her mind that distracted her attention from her education to mere survival was always hard to tell, however we can clearly see that during this period of plight, she lost so many friends, relatives... Her suffering transforms her from a pure hearted girl into a vigilant person, with a strong hatred and passionate goals to avenge for all that she has lost...

The way Diaoyuan goes through the cycle is a mirror of the social effect alien threat had as a whole. When this kind of fear and uncertainty spreads, many people like Diaoyuan were forced to forego their usual lives and somehow bravely prepare for an uncertain future.

The ever imminent alien invasion was accompanied by an unprecedented level of suffering and grief that humankind had never experienced. As for Diaoyuan, she has to endure so many hardship ahead of her, while notions of vengeance, grievances building up inside her heart, she was at some time in her life be able to somehow raise above herself as a mysterious old man appears, he tries to teaches her that an eye for an eye would not always be a viable solution for ending and alleviate suffering, it would only deepen the existing cycles of hates and even exacerbates a new cycles of disdains from the many denizens surrounds that never involves into our direct conflicts, tearing apart the once solid fabric of societies and none will ever find peace to let it go, according to him they may attracts or unknowingly make new enemies that will eventually snoop on all those involved and perform a sudden strike.

The old man find ways to proves his points by manipulate few individuals nearby that don't seem to get along with one another, he even lures other nearby delinquents to the site of the fight which could result in them jumping in beating up both sides as they escalate their conflicts, inadvertently hitting the delinquents during their personal fights... Just for Diaoyuan to see the aftermath.

Another thing the old man was trying to tell her was that she only need to fight to protect humankind, but never ever went as far as becoming genocidal against the aliens right at their homes like the extremist xenophobism groups within mankind itself advocates the path of violence, as it would not only betrays her former innocent side within her, but also make her and mankind to be not better than them.

  1. Miss Adjutant of Earth Confederation

The Earth Confederation uniform is the third piece of clothing worn by Diaoyuan herself and a representation of a central moment in the history of mankind. Humankind faced an extremely dangerous situation as the council of the United Nations was not only trying to mobilize the forces, but also to deal with an otherworldly phenomenon represented by the Vauqroks who loomed threateningly over the planet. The foundation of the Earth Confederation, which has first been initiated during 213X periods, against the backdrop of political chaos and difficulties to countries all over the world, changed the history of mankind forever. It was the manifestation of unceasing diplomatic activities of the United Nations, which took the world on the strenuous path of global harmony to avert the foe from the sky that was set to destroy the human civilization.

With the Earth Confederation establishing itself as the leading voice in the whole planet and a symbol of hope and unity, it turned into a manifestation of human resilience to the global catastrophes. This significant act of the world players adjusted the map of geopolitical landscape and brought the new narrative orientation about global availableness, cooperation and collusion on the resurging stage of the humanity where nations from different origin and cultures manage to exist harmoniously with each other. The uniform of the Earth Confederation personnel could signify beyond a militarized unification of forces, it could be a concrete manifestation of the collective hopes and aspirations of a single humanity aspiring towards a common goal extending beyond borders and ideas.

And the most important fact was that the uniform was a sign that asked everyone to always remember the price that had been paid, the suffering they had been endured, and the goal of a peaceful, and prosperous world for everyone on earth. It was rather an image of collective motivation that imported a prolonged urge to triumph over hardship faced.

  1. Software Specialist

At last, the liberating powers of humankind which have painstakingly strove and fought against the Vauqroks apparels get to win the fierce guerilla warfare and retain the alien technologies through innovation, a zenith of peace thus emerges. Following the win, it was Diaoyuan who, through the minds she now could apply from her studies in the past, as well as the skills she had developed in the field of battle, chose to become a Software Specialist. Aiming to quench her thirst for knowledge and curiosity regarding the sophisticated technology of the Vauqroks, she unites with the collective human intelligence in a bid to examine, dissect, and understand the workings of the alien technology systems. Little by little, she finds a way, using her dedication and hard work, to solve the main mystery, which will lay a foundation for the future development and discoveries through the Vauqrok powerful technology, going to be a critical turning point in the evolution of the human technology.

Though her discoveries from all the parts and crafts of wrecks were not only from the Vauqroks, there were others extraterrestrials origin among which some were specially mentioned such as those belonging to the enigmatic Katurians back at this point in time. Although less noticeable than the Vauqrok wrecks, the remnants of ships of the Katuri were observed to have a striking presence in the space debris. But the problem was raised: could the Katurians have been somehow related, perhaps even to the attacking forces that appeared to have initiated the inter-galactic fight?

The evidences showing the commissions of the other races like the Katurians increased the theories and the hypotheses among the scientific communities as they continued in their deep search for the entities behind the paraphernalia scattered across the cosmos. Notably, the Vauqroks who were known for their aggressiveness versus the Katurians, a shrouded in secrecy and the curious minded race, brought an additional dimension of intrigue to the already confusing riddle. During the search through the wreckage trying to match the clues, and carrying out the analysis, the ominous presence of Katurians and the mysteries of this cosmic puzzle became a problem that demanded scientific exploration and decryption.

Could it be that the Katurians whose technology was advanced by human standards were the ones that hold the secrets of the alien invasion or were they mere victims just dragged into a war that was beyond their own civilization?

  1. Special Agent Diaoyuan

Along the chaotic courses of the Vauqroks invasion war, a leading paramilitary group known as Task Force 16 has helped humankind helds the frontlines, in which Diaoyuan herself was once a participating part of their agents mobilized across the globes. A persistent aim of theirs was hitting the bull’s eye representing the inaccessible technical solutions for the ordinary people. Entrusted with their function as the lead vanguard of mankind in innovating and developing unconventional tools of war, and exploring applications in unusual alien technology ahead of others, Task Force 16 was already proactive before the eventual formation of the Earth Confederation.

Through their tale which preceded written human history existence being hidden in the dark pages of history may explain why they were amongst the first to make a move before a major tragedy befell on all of mankind. They led a hushed conversation about a secret fight between Nazi Germany and their ultimate mystery beneath the surface, something so deep, that they kept mankind from knowing it. These researchers amongst their organization thought that concealing these shocking revelations of the past acted as a shield to protect the entire human population from many alien threats that may lurk outside the cosmos, as well to provide a curtain keeping at bay fellows individuals within humankind that may take advantage of their untold revelations for the other's own masterminded agendas.

Although the doubts and skepticisms surrounded their statements about historical Nazi being involved with aliens, the general populace believes that their tales, which even may just be half the truth they narrated were fundamental to the strategic plans of Task Force 16, the purpose of which was to appeal the young recruits into their movements. The intricacy of their alleged meetings and stealthy operations began to wind a mystery whose gripping ingredients became all the rage, some thinks that their narrative was a daring joke and blatant lies to twist history of mankind for own ends and purposes. Peoples questioned their motives, who they were and why they felt so compelled to help myriad countries across the globe defend themselves, defeating their mutual adversaries razing upon their homelands.

  1. Actress Dream

Regardless of all the sorrowful, out-of-the-blue and down-to-earth experiences, Diaoyuan still possesses that spurt of her feelings, an almost dying spark of defiance amidst the utter dark of her past. Hence this power within herself is vital for her to narrow down her dreams to acting, and she is really interested in the profession, even with some military commitments and dedications toward maintain loyalty to her former homelands of Taiwan and the current governing entity of the Earth Confederation.

Due to this, her invincible will becomes integral to all not only the perfect acting but also decisively shows that she has the strength to find a new bright path which is the path to stardom in the film industry.

Every time she comes across the texts of plays and becomes one with the character... Diaoyuan divulges into expression of her own misery and emotions in a clear, real image that penetrate the ear of spectators at the core. Through all kinds of duties, she remains an anchor of continuous support. Exceptional and morally uplifting despite operating in the dilemma of having to preserve her artistry while still performing the duties of her entire humankind.

While everything else happens, Diaoyuan sketches her pain-stricken memories, transforming her cracks into tiles of strength, her mistakes into stepping-stones towards the place where her artistic skill becomes limitless and soul becomes unbreakable.
