Disclaimer: I own neither Juvenile Orion; Aquarian Age and its characters nor do I own "Satyre" by John Donne and "A Character" by William Wordsworth. Names of towns, cities, and other uncommon names that pop up in the story are wholly mine (taken from my own original fantasy-world series) unless otherwise noted. I do not own the JO TCG character Simon Magus, Harut, Kaoru Tendou or any other TCG characters.

Notes:
My first original character is an Arayashiki and I gave her a Chinese name. Li Mei means plum blossom in Chinese. So cute! Her Shadow Arena nicknames is "The Eura" because in Latin, the east wind is called Eurus. The feminine form of that is, Eura. I don't think it's pronounced [YOO-rah]. Going with my Latin stuff, I think it's [EH-ooh-rah]. But then again, I could be wrong and I'm basing my pronunciation on classroom Latin, verses ecclesiastical Latin.
Kaname-kun's Shadow Arena name is Erebus, the Greek primordial god who personified darkness; you know how the stories start out dramatically with 'in the beginning, there was chaos'? Hmm,yeah. Erebus was the son of chaos and in some legends, a part of the underworld or a synonym for Hades, god of the underworld.
Pyrrha, because she has red hair and in Greek, Pyrrha means 'red-haired.' Bremynstae is a noble family name in my fantasy world, Icheothera.
Hideaki and Ariadne. Well, I have no idea what to do for AU names so I'm going to fall back on a nice blend of Japanese and Greek/Latin and random JO card game names I find in the back of the manga. Because I am a desperate geek. Jyd is another family name of Icheothera.
The Consortium Dome is the general bulk of the palace, not really a specific domed building, per se.
A sandwich to whoever correctly guesses the symbolism of the flower Itsuki tucks behind his ear.
