Vilous
For other uses of this word, see Vilous (Disambiguation).
Vilous (ビロウス birousu) is the name of the fictional Sun, and also a name of the science-fantasy world setting and universe created by the two Japanese artists Mick Ono and Kiki.
In the Old Age canon, "Vilous" was the name of the main planet. However, in the New Age canon lore, "Vilous" is the name for the fixed star and main Solar System; the main planet where creatures live is now called "Planet Tal".
Synopsis
It is populated by wondrous creatures and strange flora, with sentient species of different origin interacting with one another.
The primary organism groups in Vilous are divided into two broad groups: Eltus and Talyxians. The most well-known species from the Vilous universe, Sergals, belongs to the group of Eltus race. A general outlook upon the scene and biology of Vilous system shows Planet Tal is considerably different from Earth. Strange plants which do not have chlorophyll occupy most of the planet, demonstrating their unusual characteristics in more reddish and purples tones. There are animals on Tal that are peculiarly different as well from Earth's animals; although they may share the same name, these are not at all similar to their original namesakes, save by some trait or attribute.

Story
A long time ago, people and creatures called Eltus were living on the planet. One day, an environmental catastrophe advanced to deadly proportions and the "mock living things", fabricated creatures called Talyxians, came to occupy the whole planet as a new ecosystem, in order to keep the planet alive. The oceans and many Eltus species creatures drastically decreased. The Eltus people's bodies changed to resemble animals, and were divided from a single human form into three parts: Sergal, Agudner, and Nevrean.
Aeons later, the people of the Eltus and their respective races still retain a sense of recognizing themselves as human, although as a whole, they are unaware of their original human form, and of their original culture. Planet Tal has totally changed into an alien wilderness, covered by Talyxian Biomes. People try to save Eltus Biomes on a daily basis in order to revive their original environment while surviving in the harsh and strange Talyxian environment.
The birth of the irregular person known as Rain Silves is a turning point, and the whole of Tal comes to have a new history called, which is recorded as the Rain Calendar. Throughout a hundred years history within the Rain Calendar, the Eltus people undergo turbulent changes via the World War that is brought by General Rain. The main original stories are made in the omnibus form for showing the Vilous worldview and history side by side.

Sergals adorned in armor and equipment to adapt on an alien environment in Talyxian biomes, are exploring on a plain within Thekan region, just a front of a forest. On aside the hill, there is a red river called Blood River, a Talyxian water place. Here, can see many strange plants, they belong to plant type Talyxian organism, a common flora on Plane Tal.
Towards the later stages of the Rain Calendar, two male Nevrean merchants are carrying their wagon, on the street in the central area of Gold Ring, the greatest coastal and circular city in Southern Planet Tal.
Somewhere within the Northeast land on Planet Tal, towards the later stages of the Rain Calendar. There is a Sergal adorned in Shigu armor, standing atop the balcony of a building. This is a place nestled between plain and wetland within the Thekan area, located at the foot of the Northern Lyvank Mountains. There is grassy plain area stretching outwards from the building, with orange grasslands which can be seen, a very common plain in the surrounding Reono region. These grassy plains still have the risk of obscuring the view to the feet, however, they are comparatively safe areas, as having a low mutability ratio and few threatening creatures. Generally, the grassy plains areas in Talyxian biomes are considered to be safer than forest areas.
The time period is not determined, however, the Sergal presented in the artwork is wearing a Reono styled outfit, they are visiting the border where the Astna and Thekan meet in order to scout in advance for suitable materials such as Talyxian 'resin trees', the blue translucent trees. Due to their light set of clothing, it can be easily assumed Eltus people's village exist nearby.

Eltus people are visiting the laboratory eroded away by Talyxian biomes. An Agudner man is carrying an Eltus hydroponic plant that is encased inside of a capsule container, in order to protect it from eroding Talyxian organisms.
The scenery depicting the dry season somewhere within the Talyxian biome, towards the later stages of the Rain Calendar. This place is located somewhere within the middle of Eastern and Southern Lands on Planet Tal. As this place is not far from people's habitation and harmful wildlife is rarely seen here, considerable safety is guaranteed. These alien Talyxian plants which look like veins cover the ground. They are known to have a jelly-like transparent, plumpy membrane on their surface during the rainy season, but they completely dry up like what this artwork represents in the dry season. Due to this, this place can show a fairly different scene between the rainy and dry season. The sergal sitting on a stem of these plants is a local guard who works on monitoring the alien biome throughout this region. They also have a Red Gardener license which is nationally qualified in Gold Ring. Their unique shaped hat which works as parasol is also an item used among the GR police.

Gold Ring resident Sergals gathering a kind of Eltus seaweed that grows on the coast of Salt Lake ColVilous. This seaweed will get shriveled and shrunk when it is heated, it spoils the flavor. Due to this, they usually are eaten as raw as a condition that they have just been harvested. It has a popping texture, and is eaten in various ways such as pairing it with fish, adding it to soup, or making it into a salad. Generally, there is a restriction in the gathering of edible Eltus plants and animals as they are very rare and precious existence. However, seaweed that the artwork displays is an exception to that because it is farmed on a large scale in some areas, and can proliferate rapidly.
