'''Terra Fathos''' (''Fated Earth'') is the '''first major timespan''' of the '''[[Natura]]''' franchise — encompassing '''[[Solar Cycle 24]]''' through [[Solar Cycle 25]] — the era of origins, the [[Mass Awakening]], and the establishment of the [[Tho'ra Clan]].
 
'''Terra Fathos''' (''Ancient Earth'') is the first of the three primary timespans in the '''[[Natura]]''' franchise, corresponding to '''[[Solar Cycle 25]]''' (2020–2031).

Terra Fathos represents the '''origin era''' the time when the foundational battles against cosmic-scale threats first crystallize into conscious resistance. It is the era of '''[[Jono Tho'ra]]''', '''[[Aurora Tho'ra]]''', and the formation of the '''[[Earth Alliance]]''' in the wake of the '''[[Time Wars]]'''.
Terra Fathos is the '''origin point''' of the franchise. There is no prior era from which support characters are inherited — this is where the generational relay ''begins''. The player consciousness in this era is an '''[[Angel|Angelic]] presence''' — a divine/spiritual guiding force.

Terra Fathos follows a '''beginning–middle–end''' structure across its solar cycle (~12 years), split into '''4-4-4 year''' sub-timespans:
* '''Beginning''' (Years 1–4) — origins, character establishment, early conflicts
* '''Middle''' (Years 5–8) — escalation, the [[Mass Awakening]] gathers momentum
* '''End''' (Years 9–12) — climactic events, preparation for the [[Terra Vetus]] handoff


== Player Consciousness ==
== Main Characters ==
In Terra Fathos, the player operates as an '''[[Angel|Angelic]] presence''' — a divine guiding consciousness that influences the world through sacred signs, visions, environmental synchronicities, and spiritual nudges. This gives Fathos gameplay a '''mythic and spiritual''' feel distinct from the technological interface of later eras.

Terra Fathos (Fated Earth) is the first major timespan of the Natura franchise — encompassing Solar Cycle 24 through Solar Cycle 25 — the era of origins, the Mass Awakening, and the establishment of the Tho'ra Clan.

Overview

Terra Fathos is the origin point of the franchise. There is no prior era from which support characters are inherited — this is where the generational relay begins. The player consciousness in this era is an Angelic presence — a divine/spiritual guiding force.

Sub-Timespans

Terra Fathos follows a beginning–middle–end structure across its solar cycle (~12 years), split into 4-4-4 year sub-timespans:

  • Beginning (Years 1–4) — origins, character establishment, early conflicts
  • Middle (Years 5–8) — escalation, the Mass Awakening gathers momentum
  • End (Years 9–12) — climactic events, preparation for the Terra Vetus handoff

Main Characters

  • Deva Raja — the MC of Terra Fathos (African Woman)
  • Tara Van Dekar — co-MC (Indian Man origin, legacy character)

Secondary Characters

Character Faction Becomes (Vetus)
Jono Tho'ra / Jordan Traña Tho'ra Clan / Raver Clans Support for Jane Tho'ra
Aurora Tho'ra Tho'ra Clan Support; Jono's binary co-op partner; mother of Amber
Samurider Hero Factions Support
Hiro Toshino Seporian Father of Yoko
Gabriel Valenti Sov'i Clan / Aeritra Father of Mai
Stephen American Empire Predecessor to Talisha

Alternate Characters

Terra Fathos features alternate characters — additional characters who fill the same faction slot and can operate in co-op. The specific individuals may change, but the vibe of each of the six faction slots remains the same. Jono Tho'ra and Aurora Tho'ra are described as very unique in who they are and how they operate — distinct even among alternates.

Alternates play very differently from each other while occupying the same structural position.

No Prior Supports

Unlike Terra Vetus and Terra Novus, which inherit support characters from the previous era's secondaries, Terra Fathos has no prior era to draw from. While mentor characters exist in this timespan, the generational relay starts here.

Faction Slots

Factions either evolve or get swapped out each timespan. The vibe of each of the six slots stays consistent, but the specific faction identity changes. Terra Fathos establishes the Earth-scale factions that will evolve through Vetus and eventually be replaced entirely by intergalactic factions in Novus.
