"What gift will the nectar grant you?"
With great power comes great responsibility.
"What gift will the nectar grant you?"
With great power comes great responsibility.
A small planet in the outer realms of the Cyldor Galaxy — 95.7% water, orbited by multiple suns, home to an ecosystem of staggering diversity.
Bia's islands each hold their own climate, culture, and community of Muscle Babies. From the Booshka Forest of Ema in the north to the contested waters of the Lost Sea — every region has been shaped by the ancient civilization that calls it home.
Muscle Babies are not young. Individual lifespans stretch beyond 1,000 years. They have built empires, forged alliances, and survived forces that erased lesser species. Their strength, their culture, their very existence flows from one source: the Booshka Trees.
95.7% ocean. Seven landmasses. One forest. All of it at war.
The great spotted Booshka Trees grow across Planet Bia, emitting a sweet nectar that gifts Muscle Babies their supernatural abilities. No two gifts are the same.
Upon their first birthday, every Muscle Baby receives the Nectar of the Booshka — and their unique power is revealed. Some use their gift for good. Others for evil. But all who drink hold great power.
Ancient Ritual
The Nectar ceremony is sacred — performed on every Baby's first birthday. It is the moment they become who they are.
Unique to Each Baby
No two powers are identical. Strength. Speed. Sight beyond sight. Forces unknown to science. Your Baby's gift is one of a kind.
Good and Evil Both
The nectar does not choose sides. Some Babies protect Bia. Others have joined the Syndicate. Power is power — what matters is the hand that holds it.
A coalition of hostile planets has joined forces with one goal: destroy every Muscle Baby and seize the power of Bia for themselves.
The Booshka Trees. The nectar. The planet. They want all of it. The intergalactic war has been devastating — populations once in the millions reduced to the strongest who remain.
"The losses have been catastrophic. But the 5,000 have not surrendered.
Will you join the fight to save Bia?"

Unique powers
Kael was not a Baby. He was an archivist — a keeper of Bia's oldest records. He spent his life cataloguing what the Syndicate wanted buried. Then one day he found something they couldn't afford to let exist.
Buried in a sealed archive was the proof that ends the war. Not a weapon. Not an army. A truth — about the Booshka nectar, about what the Syndicate actually is, and about who gave them the order to suppress it. If the file reaches the surface, the Syndicate loses everything.
Kael knew the Syndicate would erase him. So before they could, he encoded the file across 500 fragments and aimed the transmission outward — past Bia, past the sea, past everything the Syndicate controls. He aimed it at Earth. The one place they have no reach. Yet.
The Babies can't carry the signal alone — the Syndicate tracks Bia-native frequencies. But a human bonded to a Baby becomes something the Syndicate cannot detect. You are the carrier. The fragment lives in the bond between you and your Baby. They need you to find it.
"He encoded it and sent it out into the dark. 500 fragments. 500 strangers on a world that doesn't know we exist. The Syndicate doesn't know either. Not yet. Find the fragments before they do."
// Recovered Transmission — Origin: Bia — Sender: UnknownEach Muscle Baby collectible contains a QR code — your portal into the mission. Scan it to begin. What follows is eight clues across three phases that draw you deeper into the fight for Bia.
01–03
Phase One
Sensing
Your QR portal activates and your first three clues drop. Each one points somewhere real — a location, a frequency, a hidden signal. Go find it. When you have the answer, upload it through your portal to unlock the next transmission.
Kael.
04–05
Phase Two
Discovery
The suppression file surfaces. Clues 4 and 5 take you further out — physical discoveries, coordinates, objects hiding in plain sight. Clue 4 requires coordination with other players. The evidence only assembles when multiple fragments are uploaded together.
Archon Vex Signed It.
06–08
Phase Three
Transmission
The final three clues are the hardest. Real-world locations, encoded transmissions, physical discoveries that must be found before they can be uploaded. Submit your final answers through the portal. If you're right — Bia receives the signal.
Bia Receives.
8
Complete the Mission. Enter the Canon. Bound Forever.
The first 8 players to complete all 8 clues with accuracy are bound to the game and their Babies forever. Their names go into the Bia canon record. Their Babies never leave the story.

First Place Prize
A commissioned, one-of-one illustration of your Baby rendered in the official Bia art style — framed, signed, and yours alone. No other Baby will ever be depicted this way. It cannot be bought, only earned.
You will hear them through transmissions, encoded fragments, and signals embedded in your clues. Each one has a stake in whether the mission succeeds.
Titara

The first voice you hear. Has suspected the Syndicate for years. She guides you through first contact.
Nektrix
Intelligence
Found the suppression file deep in the archive. Distributes mission fragments across all 500.
Aerox
Signal Command
Monitors the Kael signal from Bia all season. Named Kael after recovering it from a sealed archive.
Viren
Capitol Liaison
Doesn't yet know the full extent of the Syndicate's crime. What happens when he finds out is part of the season.
The Collector
A framed original. 500 made. No reprints. It gains meaning the moment the edition closes — and this one closes forever.
The Player
Eight clues across three phases. Some point to real-world locations you have to physically find. Others require decoding transmissions or uncovering hidden objects. You upload your answers through a portal to advance. If you're the type who finds things others miss — Bia needs you.
The Lore Keeper
A universe being built in real time. Your Baby has a name, a power, a side in the war — and a role in everything that follows.
What exactly arrives in the box?
One framed Muscle Baby print, an identity reveal card with your Baby's name and power, a QR portal card to activate your mission, and a lore transmission — your Baby's first message. Everything is sealed until it finds you.
Can I choose which Baby I get?
No. The Baby chooses you. Each unit is assigned at random — no two are alike, and none can be selected, swapped, or previewed in advance.
What if I don't want to play the game — is it still worth owning?
Yes. The frame is gallery-quality. The art stands on its own. And with only 500 ever made, no reprints, and a permanently closed edition, the resale value only grows as the run sells out. The game is there when you want it — there's no deadline and no pressure.
How do the clues work?
Scan the QR code on your portal card to activate your Baby's mission. Eight clues unfold across three phases — each one sending you somewhere real. Some clues point to physical locations you have to find. Others require decoding a transmission or uncovering a hidden object. When you've solved a clue, you upload your answer through the portal to unlock the next phase. Phase 2 requires coordination across players — certain evidence only assembles when multiple people submit their fragments together. There's no time limit. Bia will wait.
When does it ship?
Orders ship immediately. Bia needs to be saved — we're not waiting around.
Will there be more units later?
No. Season 1 is 500 units. When it's gone, it's permanently closed. There are no reprints, no second runs, and no digital equivalents.
