Welcome to Iris Halo
A Cosmic Magical Girl/Boy Roleplay Adventure
What is Iris Halo?
Iris Halo is a text-based roleplay set in a world where magic, emotion, and cosmic destiny collide. Inspired by Sailor Moon, League of Legends' Star Guardians, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, it follows a group of seemingly ordinary teens chosen by fate to become Chroma Knights—magical defenders of light and life itself.
At its core, Iris Halo is:
- Slice of Life – School days, friendships, goofiness, awkward dates, karaoke disasters
- Action-Driven – Battles against nightmarish emotional monsters known as the Malfested
- Emotionally Driven Drama – Themes of growth, grief, loss, hope, and identity
- A Living Story – Player actions and choices directly shape the fate of the world
You’ll create and embody your own Chroma Knight, forge bonds, unlock powers, and face forces of light and darkness as the universe’s fate slowly unfurls around you.
Who Are the Chroma Knights?
The Chroma Knights are ancient warriors chosen by the mysterious, luminous beings called Uxa. Each Knight represents a unique color of the emotional and magical spectrum and is gifted incredible abilities to purify evil and protect the balance of light.
They are not born—they are chosen during an event known as the Starfall, when streaks of colored comet-light race across the sky and awaken the next generation of defenders.
Their powers, transformations, and magical forms are influenced by their emotions, personality, and color affinity (e.g. Red Knight of Passion, Blue Knight of Reflection, etc).
When a Chroma Knight falls in battle within a Domain, they fade permanently, and their spirit may become something more...
What Are Uxa?
The Uxa are the radiant spirits of long-past Chroma Knights, reborn as magical companions. They appear during the Starfall and seek individuals worthy of inheriting their light.
In their base form, Uxa resemble glowing orbs of light with fluttering wings. To make themselves more approachable, they often take on animalistic or trinket-like forms (e.g. a pink bunny pin, a floating fox spirit, a ribbon-shaped moth).
They:
- Guide and empower their Knight
- Seal contracts granting magical abilities
- Sometimes act silly, stubborn, or mysterious
Secret Lore: Uxa are the souls of fallen Chroma Knights, reborn without memory, destined to guide future heroes until the cycle ends.
What Are the Malfested?
The Malfested are monstrous manifestations of pure negativity—born when someone is overwhelmed by intense emotion: grief, rage, fear, shame.
When formed, they:
- Create a Domain—a warped pocket-reality that reflects the emotion and place of origin
- Grow stronger the deeper the pain of their host
- Must be defeated and purified to restore balance
There are several classes:
- Lesser Malfested – Common, emotion-driven creatures of instinct
- Greater Malfested – Born of deep, complex traumas; dangerous and intelligent
- Corrupted Knights – Fallen Chroma Knights who use their powers selfishly
- Calamity Malfested – Former Knights fully consumed by despair, transformed into world-warping entities. They cannot be saved.
The Eternal Cycle
Every few centuries, the universe resets through a Cycle—a repeating clash between the First Light and Shuruuga, the Ultimate Darkness. With each new Cycle:
- New Chroma Knights are born
- New Malfested rise
- The universe teeters between salvation or ruin
If Light wins: peace and prosperity bloom.
If Darkness wins: suffering deepens, and the universe decays further.
We are now in the Eleventh Cycle—the Era of Iris. The Starfall has begun again… and the shadows are stirring.
Setting: Narasato, Shirasaki
A small rural town nestled within the hills of Japan, tinged with Western flair and mystery.
Narasato Gakuen – The high school where the main characters study. It seems normal… until the Starfall.
The Blooming Street – A stretch of shops, cafes, and karaoke spots. The gang’s go-to hangout.
Mt. Kaiju (North and South) – Mist-covered mountains with hidden ruins and strange Uxa energy.
Funadaka Shrine – A forgotten temple tied to ancient Chroma Knight legends.
Despite its peaceful surface, Narasato hides the first threads of cosmic war…
Your Role as a Player
As a player, you will:
- Create a unique magical student (your Chroma Knight identity)
- Bond with an Uxa companion
- Interact with others via text RP (slices of life, drama, conflict, romance!)
- Fight Malfested in cooperative, story-driven missions
- Discover the truth behind the Cycles, the First Light, and Shuruuga
You’ll also unlock new powers, develop personal Domains, and maybe—just maybe—rewrite fate itself.

Season 1:
Lighthearted, whimsical, school-life fun. Battles with lesser Malfested. Focus on growth, bonding, and discovery.
