A Cycle is a period of time when Cosmos and Chaos summon warriors to their cause, and lasts until one side emerges victorious over one of the deities, or all of their warriors are eliminated. Once this is accomplished, the Great Dragon Shinryu absorbs the experiences and memories of the warriors of that conflict, erasing their memory of their time in the Conflict, and starting a Cycle anew.
Each new warrior summoned to the Conflict of the Gods for the first time will find themselves lacking in any memories from their home world. (For the purposes of the rp setting, there are two minor exceptions we're allowing. Players may select two general and one specific memory of their life, to be included in the application.) As the warriors fight and progress, they will slowly regain memories of home, in small fractions. With each progressive Cycle, the warrior will remember more and more of their home, eventually recognizing friends, remembering travels together, names and places. However they will not remember that this is a neverending cycle of battles.
Cycles in Nightmare Realm last for three months and will conclude with a final showdown, a winning side declared, and a memory wipe of all warriors on the losing side, save for any earned memory regains. The winning team will not only keep whatever memories they have regained, but any new ones they've created during their time present in the Conflict. Warriors on both sides will also retain memories of their friendships and rivalries, though perhaps not the specifics. This ensures that CR can and will not be lost at the cycle reset, as these memories may be regained by regular interaction.
A special note for freshly inbound Dissidia characters: Due to the extreme and difficult situation which Shinryu has forced upon this cycle, ALL warriors on both sides will not remember any previous participation in the cycles of war. However, they too will get their memory allotment on their application, as well as any canon demonstrated memory regains present within the games. In addition, as with all CR continuing across a cycle, your characters will know if X is a friend or Y is a rival. Example: Squall would recognize Bartz as a friend, even if he doesn't know why yet. Kain will recognize Exdeath as a rival, again without knowing why.
