Background

The Soul series is a franchise produced by the game development company, Bandai Namco. The series first launched in 1995 with the arcade game Soul Edge (or Soul Blade in some countries), which was later ported to game consoles and officially started the franchise. Come 1998, the sequel titled Soulcalibur was massively popular, and became the new name of the franchise.

Soulcalibur is a historical fantasy epic taking place in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, revolving around the intertwined fates of two powerful blades, and the dozens of men and women seeking them out for their own personal reasons. The cursed sword, Soul Edge, and the holy sword, Soul Calibur, are bound together by fate and act as the central forces of the entire plot.

Most notably, in 1583, a young German soldier named Siegfried Schtauffen acquired the Soul Edge, which transformed him into the series' face villain, Nightmare. The Azure Knight, Nightmare, is a terrifyingly destructive force who acts as a constant threat in the series, whether it be Siegfried behind the mask or another elusive force. Those who wield Soul Calibur are charged with defeating Nightmare, to reign peace upon the world.

The first six mainline games of the franchise tell a cohesive story from 1583 until 1607, before the series was later given a soft reboot in the form of Soulcalibur VI, an alternative (yet majorly similar) timeline of events. The franchise has also produced a large amount of spinoff and non-canon titles, ranging from mobile games to its own Pachislot game.

Power of the Verse

The verse has characters around Wall level with Supersonic reaction speeds, though those who wield and scale to the Soul sword reach above Large Building level. The higher echelon of characters can reach Universe level, those these are very few and far between.

This verse’s general hax include Martial Arts, Aura, Sheer Will, and Damage Boost for its regular characters, but has hax such as Power Mimicry, Reactive Adaptation, BFR, and Weather Manipulation for the Soul swords.

Canon

The canon timeline of the games is very straightforward, as the chronology of the events are generally laid out in officially-released timelines found in art books and in the games themselves. However, it is good to note that there are now officially two timelines present in the series, and some titles can be considered non-canon.
