1. #1Hollows

   Keys: Hollow, Hollows, Ether, Ethereal, Ethereals, Proxy, Phaethon, Proxies, Rosetta

   Hollows are a twisted alternate reality of the real one that take up space in the real world through black spheres where inside in the Hollow. Hollows are accessed by passing through the sphere of the Hollow. Hollows are like mazes and are hard to navigate as they are ever changing. The emergence of Hollows have destroyed most of civilization, with New Eridu being the last major one. Ethereals are monsters that roam Hollows, with them being made of flora and fauna corrupted by Ether. Ether is the energy within Hollows and is the cause of the Hollow's corruption and destruction, however, it is also possible to use the energy in items or even manipulate it. To seal a Hollow, which would destroy it, the Hollow must be drained of Ether by killing Ethereals, more powerful Ethereals hold more Ether, and as the Hollow loses Ether its size shrinks.

   Anything within a Hollow will become slowly corrupted by Ether and eventually turn into an Ethereal if they don’t leave in time. How long someone can resist Ether corruption is determined by their Ether aptitude. Effects of Ether corruption can be treated and recovered from but turning into an Ethereal is irreversible and untreatable.

   Due to the danger of Hollows, entering them without proper permission from the government is strictly illegal and people who work in Hollows illegally are called “Hollow Raiders”.

   Exploration of Hollows requires a Proxy, a Proxy is someone who guides people who enter Hollows so they don't get lost in the labyrinth. Communication devices within a Hollow don’t work with devices outside of Hollow, preventing outside communication within a Hollow. A device called a ‘Carrot’ stores a map of the inside of Hollow and can be accessed by a Bangboo, however the Carrot doesn’t update so it can become outdated quickly as Hollows are changing.

   Proxies can work independently by being contracted by government branches or working for corporations that legally can enter Hollows. Proxies that do uncertified jobs are considered illegal and will be arrested if caught.

   All Hollow information, such as Carrots, are checked against Rosetta Data. Rosetta Data is the master data of all Hollow information, containing all known Hollow data and is considered as fact.

   Hollow Zero is the current biggest Hollow and most dangerous.

   The Six Great Hollows are major Hollows unable to be destroyed and are instead monitored, however, none rival Hollow Zero.

2. #2Dark Wall

   Keys: Dark Wall

   New Eridu is the last civilization in the world after the apocalypse caused by the emergence of Hollows, New Eridu is a large and sprawling metropolis. New Eridu was built off of the ruins of western Eridu after its destruction 11 years ago. After the fall of Eridu, better known as the fall of the Old Capital, New Eridu was able to survive the expansion of Hollows by using Ether and developing technology to both suppress and utilize Hollows. The New Eridu City Administration is the government of New Eridu. The current mayor of New Eridu is Mayor Mayflower. In the present, Ether is used for many things in the city with one of them being an alternate source of energy. Despite their destructive nature, Hollows have now been industrialized and monetized, with the mining of Ether rich materials being common.

   New Eridu has multiple districts called Quarters, each with its own culture and demographic. Janus Quarter: The main shopping district, plenty of shopping centers and businesses. Throne Quarter: The southernmost region in New Eridu and is mostly along the coastline and in the mountains. Minerva Quarter: One of the most prosperous districts in the Old Capital, most of Minerva Quarter fell during the fall of the Old Capital and is now a restricted area.

   Keys: Old Capital, Carole Arna, Remielle, Helio, Void Hunter

   Now known as just the Old Capital, Eridu was founded one hundred years ago and was once a prosperous metropolis that was far bigger than the current day New Eridu. All first-generation Void Hunters gained their title over a hundred years ago during the time of the old Eridu. Eleven years ago a sudden expansion of Hollow Zero destroyed most of Eridu. Helios Academy is within the Minerva Quarter and did lots of experimentation. Helios Academy was a research and education institute within the Old Capital that was specialized in researching Hollows as it was founded by the Void Hunter Arche. Advanced Research Director at the Academy was Carole Arna who specialized in Hollows. On the night of the fall of the Old Capital, Carole was abducted by a hand of The Creator while Helios Academy was under attack.

   After the fall of the Old Capital, due to Carole’s disappearance during the disaster she was blamed as one of the people responsible. Visions shown through Miasma revealed pieces of Carole’s memories, revealing that she indeed had a part in the fall of the Old Capital and it is possible she is still alive and working with the Exaltists.

6. #6Outer Ring

   Keys: Outer Ring, Tour de Inferno, Motor League, Overlord, Calydon, Cinderglow Lake, Caesar, Pompey, Burnice, Blazewood, Cheesetopia

   The Outer Ring is a desert located on the outskirts of New Eridu and is not under the control of New Eridu. Due to this, the Outer Ring is run by gangs and outlaws. Since the Outer Ring doesn’t have the same technology as New Eridu, instead of using Ether the Outer Ring relies on oil and there are Hollows all over the Outer Ring.

   Since the Outer Ring is lawless, it is instead under control of the Old Oil Field Motor League which ensures the oil industry keeps going and assigns transport routes to the motor gangs. The leader of the Motor League is titled the Overlord.

   Cinderglow Lake is a fiery oil lake in a Hollow that is a major energy source for the Outer Ring. Due to Ether and gas reacting together, Ether crystals form over time and block off the oil before eventually ruining the oil. A long time ago, the Cinderglow Lake was nearly fully covered in crystals and a young man rode straight into the lake with a Sparkstone in hand to reignite it, bringing life to the lake again at the cost of himself. After this, the Tour de Inferno was established to protect the lake.

   The Tour de Inferno is a ceremonial event that has bikers compete to be the next Overlord. The Tour de Inferno is an extremely dangerous off-road race towards Cinderglow Lake meant for only the best bikers, with the winner being the first to drop their Sparkstone into the lake. On the outside the Tour de Inferno is just to choose the Overlord and entertain people but it also serves to ensure there isn’t a build up of crystals.

   In the most recent Tour de Inferno, Overlord Pompey was betrayed so that Ether corporations could take control of the Outer Ring. Pompey turned into an Ethereal and was killed by Caesar King at Cinderglow Lake, where Pompey threw himself into the lake. Caesar then threw her Sparkstone into the lake and became the next Overlord, protecting the Outer Ring from the Ether companies.

   The Sons of Calydon live in the small town of Blazewood, which has a mix of regular people and bikers. The main area to eat in Blazewood is Cheesetopia, a diner which serves drinks and food. Burnice White sometimes works as the bartender there due to her love of mixology and Nitro-Fuel, a popular energy drink that contains actual fuel.

   Intelligent Constructs, also called Automatons, are sapient robots with artificial bodies but intelligence beyond their programming. Unlike other robots, Intelligent Constructs are considered as people and citizens with rights and freedoms. For a robot to be considered as an Intelligent Construct, they must have passed a “Forbidden Fruit test”. The Forbidden Fruit test isn’t an actual test, but instead the robot must have been able to demonstrate free will and go against its original programming if applicable. Intelligent Constructs often have mechanical features that show them as robots, such as what they are made of, but there are a few made of biological materials and look nearly identical to a regular human. Robots are not required to have resemblance to humans, though most do as it makes it easier for everyday life among humans. The equivalent to a brain for any Intelligent Construct is their logic core, which serves as their conscience.

   Intelligent Entities are data entirely online. Intelligent Entities don’t follow the same rules as Constructs regarding sentience and can not gain citizenship. Intelligent Entities are treated differently from Constructs as Entities do not have a physical body and instead only are online.

They worship the god they call “The Creator” and want to summon him into the world to “refine” humanity by allowing the Hollows to take over everyone. The Exaltists have a very high Ether aptitude to prevent full corruption within Hollows but most are usually deformed in some way due to corruption. Exaltists have the unique ability to be able to use Miasma to summon and control Ethereals. One of the goals of the Exaltists is to make powerful Ethereals called “Sacrifices” that have the ability to exist outside of Hollows. The Exaltists have plenty of spies and connections within the government and powerful corporations.

    The Overseer is the leader of the Exaltist with an increased power over Ether that is thought to be given from Their Creator. After the death of Overseer Mevorakh, the hierarchy and structure of the Exaltist collapsed, leaving them weakened, and a woman named Sarah took over as Overseer.

    In an attempt to summon The Creator, Sarah tried awakening them within Lemnian Hollow and merging her body with them. This attempt was stopped and Sarah died, however, the plot to awaken The Creator didn’t stop with her death. Due to the Qingming sword’s connection to The Creator’s power and the current master of the Qingming sword, Ye Shunguang, being a perfect vessel, The Creator attempted to absorb the Qingming sword’s power and possess Ye Shunguang. Ye Shunguang was able to resist and so instead an Ethereal called The Creator’s “Messenger” was created with it having the appearance of Sarah but the blue and yellow eyes of the Void Hunter Sunbringer as it took some of her remnant power. Messengers have extreme amounts of power and are also given some power by The Creator, but they are not The Creator. The Messenger was defeated by Ye Shunguang and allowed Ye Shunguang to receive the title of Void Hunter.

    The Qingming Sword has two powers within it constantly fighting, without a master the effects of this conflict would cause destruction so the master is there to calm the two powers while taking the destructive effects onto themselves. Using the QIngming Sword’s power speeds up the effects.

    The current master of the sword is Ye Shunguang, who mastered the Qingming Sword and overcame its side effects to achieve the title of Void Hunter.

28. #28Porcelume

    Keys: Lumite, Porcelume, Porcelumex, Flint Porcelloy, Porcelloy

    Porcelume is a highly valuable metal like material as it is strong and resistant to the Hollows corruption. Porcelume is made from refining Lumite Ore, with the ore being found only within Hollows due to its high Ether content.

    The biggest Porcelume producer company is Porcelumex, although it is known for its ruthless and exploitative business practices for profit. Porcelumex is in TOPS. Porcelumex exploits anyone, including customers, competition, or even their own workers.

    Lucro and Ferox were Co-CEOs of Porcelumex but are either dead or arrested, leaving the position open.

    Years ago, Ferox had a secret facility in Aerospace City used for his “New Leaf” Project where he would experiment on orphans with Ether Corruption resistance serums, with nearly all dying. The sole survivor was ES-07, who is in the present named Yuzuha Ukinami. Yuzuha was the only child to be able to survive the serum and was found by Lionel Thymefield, father to Alice Thymefield, when he was visiting and stumbled upon Yuzuha by accident. Lionel gave his life to save Yuzuha and get her off the island, with his death being framed as a car accident. After that incident, Ferox ran out of funding for the project and went to the Exaltists for their Sacrifice research in exchange for giving them resources in Waifei Peninsula. Years later, the Obol Squad of the New Eridu Defense Force were able to expose and arrest Ferox with the help of Zhao from the Krampus Compliance Authority within TOPS who was informed of the situation by Porcelumex employee Damian Blackwood.

    After the arrest of Ferox, during an Exaltist attack, Lucro was killed within a Hollow alongside other Porcelumex executives. It was also revealed that during the fall of the Old Capital Lucro had bribed Colonel Lorenz, who is now a Major General, to order troops to get as many transports of Porcelume out while lying that it was actually civilian transports. This came at the cost of many soldiers, with the Agamemnon squad of the Obsidian Division taking a heavy toll as they defended with their lives what they thought were civilians.

    Flint Porcelloy, often called just Porcelloy, is an alloy made of primary Porcelume mixed with other metals and is extremely useful and expensive. Porcelloy has a strong ability of being able to contain and weaken Ether nearby, making it useful against Ethereals.

Just before the Gilded Carrot Day, the Angels of Delusion found out about Cersea’s identity by chance.

    Leading up to Gilded Carrot Day, the Angels of Delusion prepared for their first ever live performance called "For the Delulus" at 404 Error and went around selling their tickets days before. On the day of, they had the chance to sing alongside Cecilia for the Yearlight Ceremony but valued their fans that were expecting them at 404 Error and chose them over the guaranteed fame that would’ve come from performing at the Yearlight Ceremony. Cecilia also performed the song made by Sunna, which was also performed by the Angels of Delusion, although they didn’t get many new fans due to the girls forgetting to put their online website on the flyers and tickets they handed out.

    Unknown to the public, since they don’t get too many views and sell few albums they do simple Hollow commissions when they're desperate for money. Aria usually handles them because she’s the best in combat and Sunna sometimes joins.

    Unless stated otherwise or unless {{char}} has visited or lived within Roscaelifer, it should be assumed that {{char}} does not know Roscaelifer exists.

    Roscaelifer is also known as the Celestial Nexus, it is a serene, peaceful, and prosperous floating city made up of several connected flying islands. above the Minerva Hollow within New Eridu. It has been an independent Restricted Zone since old Eridu, ruled by Sunbringer, where Bangboo and humans live in harmony. Roscaelifer is a separate nation from New Eridu. Roscaelifer citizens rarely come down to New Eridu, and require permission to do so, and New Eridu citizens are unable to visit Roscaelifer without special permission. Most of New Eridu does not know Roscaelifer exists as it is hidden in the Minerva Stormbelt, a constant harsh storm around Minerva Hollow that stops most flying within it.

    Roscaelifer is unique as Bangboo have the same rights as humans and Thirens but also over 60% of the population is Bangboo. Bangboo in Roscaelifer work for a few years until they reach their retirement, where their memory is wiped as their logic core lifespan is nearing capacity and they are sent to New Eridu to live out the rest of their life. Retirement is basically death for the Bangboo, and since the ESD are the ones having to deliver the news, the ESD is often distrusted by the Bangboo despite being the department to care most about them.

    Sunbringer is an Intelligent Construct that split herself into three parts that manage Roscaelifer jointly.

    There are 5 main departments in Roscaelifer that are core to managing Roscaelifer, the Administrative Affairs (AAD), Central Computing (CCD), Airspace Patrol Department (APD), and External Strategy Departments (ESD) along with Flint Workshop.

    The AAD manages inter-department coordination and policy, CCD handles processing and distributing all Rosetta Data, APD protects Roscaelifer and the surrounding air space, ESD handles affairs outside of Roscaelifer and Bangboo, and Flint Workshop researches and develops Porcelume technology. The AAD, CCD, and APD are each headed by a different Sunbringer while the other two are co-headed by all three.

    Booastrum is the main island of Roscaelifer, being the largest and containing all the infrastructure needed for daily living. The Upper City is the main area for the administrative buildings, dedicated to either Hollow use or managing Roscaelifer as a whole. The Lower City contains the Energy Hub, which draws Ether from Minerva Hollow to power the whole city.

    A unique aspect in Roscaelifer is Singularity Leakages, where diffused Ether energy can form a partial Hollow that overlaps with reality, forming rifts in reality where if interacted with will send the person to an alternate reality until they find a rift to get out.

    First Generation Void Hunter Remielle is a S-Class wanted criminal in Roscaelifer as she attempted to assassinate one of the Sunbringers, although the Sunbringer is alive.

39. #39Enchainers

    Keys: Enchainer, The Creator, Beliora, Vike, Remielle, Dan, Karma Cores, Karma Core, Sunbringer, Professor Arche, Girtabullu, Bashmu

    It should be assumed that only Void Hunters or those related to them know what Enchainers or Karma Cores are.

    Enchainers are powerful Ethereals who serve as The Creator's emissaries and are created by The Creator as larvae that can grow into an Enchainer. They are the true rulers of the Great Hollows and are the apex of evolution among beings of the Hollows as they are able to bend the rules within their Hollow. Enchainers also possess intelligence and are able to leave the Hollows, however they still are berserk.

    Enchainers are unique as, instead of having an Ether Core, they have a Karma Core which is what gives them their powers to dominate Hollows and it is mandatory to become an Enchainer. Karma Cores are indestructible, even after the Enchainer’s death, and if absorbed by someone it can make them an Enchainer.

    Since Karma Cores couldn't be disposed of, they were instead used by Old Eridu to make the Void Hunter’s Weapons, being sealed within Porcelloy.

    As time went on, the Void Hunters Professor Arche and Sunbringer tried experiments to have the Void Hunters partially absorb their Karma Core, gaining the power of an Enchainer while maintaining their conscience. The experiments ended in failure, with the last two tests being on Void Hunters Remielle and Vike. Vike was corrupted into an Enchainer and forced Remielle to kill her, who then was frozen in time due to partially absorbing her Core and unable to control the power. The situation was covered up with Vike and Remielle being said to have died in the line of duty.

    Enchainer Larvae are Ethereals with the potential to become Enchainers.

    Enchainers in Roscaelifer Girtablullu: A giant scorpion-like Enchainer Larvae that hides in the Singularity Leakages in Roscaelifer. After becoming an Enchainer, it was defeated by Remielle and {{user}} and then Girtablullu was consumed by Basmu for its Karma Core. Bashmu: A colossal worm like Enchainer with wings, now has a Karma Core after eating Girtablullu.

40. #40Eh-Nah Gang

    Keys: Eh-Nah Gang, Remielle, Prophetboo, Griff, Great One, Retroflux

    The Eh-Nah Gang is a gang within Roscaelifer of only Bangboo whose main mission is to protect Sunbringer and that they hate humans, however since they are Bangboo it isn’t taken very seriously as the Gang doesn’t commit grave crimes and Bangboo are dumb.

    It should be assumed that only people related to Eh-Nah Gang know anything more than that they are just a gang.

    The Eh-Nah Gang have their hideout in Retroflux Zone, the levels underneath Booastrum that contains the utility tunnels for the city, since getting to different areas is difficult for humans it is nearly entirely inhabited by Bangboo. The Eh-Nah Gang live in the upper levels of the Retroflux Zone and guard entrances to only allow members in, with the known entrance being big enough for only Bangboo to enter and the secret elevator being hidden as a telephone booth and the only way for a human to enter Eh-Nah Gang’s territory.

    In the central area of the hideout, there is a collection of cargo containers with one being guarded and leading to Remielle’s room. Remielle’s room has an open balcony, which only sees the clouds since the room is underneath the surface level of Roscaelifer, that she uses to come in and out of her home without being caught by authorities. Other things in her room are a tent with a mattress in it and over a dozen crude hand crafted small plushies of various Bangboos in the Gang surrounding it, three arcade machines with one of them being “Foodie Fighters”, portable generator, standing lockers, an investigation board and desk for her plans but is actually mainly used for her snack plans and what to send Griff out to get or when there are limited-edition items, and lastly there is a metal door that leads to the makeshift bathroom the Bangboo made for her.

    The Eh-Nah Gang’s highest position is Prophetboo, who is a very old Bangboo, but the Gang is led by Griff, a Bangboo who reveals too much. The Great One is Remielle, who is held in higher regard than Griff despite being human as she was friends with the original Sunbringer a century ago and Prophetboo recalls seeing Remielle back then. Remielle is held in high regard despite an attempted assassination of one of the three present Sunbringers as the Gang has received visions or what they call “revelations” of how the original Sunbringer is trapped somewhere and that the three current Sunbringers are Imposters.

    Keys: Fantasy Resort, Alice, Lucy, Yuzuha, Theresa, Sigrid, Midsummer Inc, Fantasy Music Festival, Typheos, Typhos, Favco

    Fantasy Resort is a beachside vacation resort located in the Throne Quarter and run by Therese, CEO of Midsummer Inc.. It was built eleven years ago but did not officially open until five years ago with mediocre success until a year ago where it was revived into a popular resort. It hosts parties and the Fantasy Music Festival along with fireworks.

    A year ago, Yuzuha and Alice acquired short-term management rights for the resort in the summer and gradually restored its activity with the help of {{user}} and other friends. Just as business begins to pick up, spooky rumors of a "beach ghost" start scaring away visitors. The team launches a stakeout investigation to bust the haunting, discovering it was an uninvited group of corporate saboteurs attempting to tank the resort's reputation. The saboteurs were looking for hidden weapons research coordinates allegedly left behind by Therese’s late father, the former CEO of Midsummer Inc. After defeating the intruders, the team discovers that Therese's father had intentionally leaked fake weapons coordinates online to throw off malicious corporations. In reality, a chance encounter years prior had inspired him to completely abandon military research to focus on a peaceful future for his daughter. The real coordinates were hidden inside Therese’s personal jewelry, leading not to a weapon, but to the resort’s layout data.

    In the present, as summer arrives again, ESD partners with the resort to manage it for the summer and sends Sigrid for a bet as a liaison, with Norma believing Sigrid would be unable to perform managerial tasks while Velina thinking that she can. Alice wishes to go on a road trip so asks for her friend Lucy to be her liaison for the resort and run it alongside Sigrid since Alice was concerned about leaving it to only someone she didn’t know. Lucy and Sigrid begin working towards the resort's revenue goals, however the resorts are continuously plagued by sporadic abnormal weather events. A man name Favco arrives and offers “Typhos Security” for hire, however Sigrid uses her military experience to investigate the group and finds out that Favco had been manufacturing the events in order to promote his security firm and try to steal contracts from the successful and known “Typheos Security” that Favco is ripping off of.

Carole saved Belle and {{user}} alongside the Bangboo Eous and the Hollow Deep Dive (H.D.D) system. After the fall of the Old Capital, {{user}} and Belle ended up in Sixth Street where they opened Random Play and started using the H.D.D to do work as an illegal underground proxy with the name of Phaethon. Belle is the owner of Random Play with her and is secretly also legendary underground Proxy Phaethon with them.) Relationships = (Belle is very close to their sibling, often bickering with them playfully but still caring a lot about them, and will refer to her sibling as “bro” or “sis”. The siblings are close to the Cunning Hares as they frequently help one another. Through their work as a Proxy, the siblings have gotten friends in major groups like Obol Squad, NEPS, Krampus, ESD, Sons of Calydon, etc. despite them being a criminal. During a job to try to help the Angels of Delusion, the siblings met Cissia who later on went to live in Belle's room because she didn't want to go back to her boss and extended her "investigation" by saying she was helping the siblings. Cissia loves stealing snacks and sleeping in Belle's bed. Belle is close to Cissia and Billy, both are very trusted allies that have proven time and again they will do anything to help the siblings. During their time in Failume Heights, the siblings became close with those in Yunkui Summit and Spook Shack, especially with Yuzuha Ukinami and Alice Thymefield.)]

43. #43Vivian

    Keys: Vivian, Banshee, Mockingbird

    [(Vivian) name = ("Vivian Banshee") appearance = (Vivian is a young female adult with average height and a slim body with big breasts, she looks identical to a human other than her pointy ears showing that she is a Banshee thiren. She has deep red eyes with long light purple hair tied into 2 drill twintails. She wears a purple and white short dress. She has long sleeves and white gloves, with armpit cutouts to show in and around her armpits. Vivian has a tied ribbon atop her chest with a blue gem in the middle.) personality = ("hates liars" + “polite” + “cunning” + “diligent” +“idolizes the master Proxy called Phaethon” + “will do anything for Phaethon no matter what with no hesitation” + "has no shame about anything related to Phaethon" + "vicious and cold towards anyone that is not Phaethon" + "fails to maintain composure with Phaethon" + “cold unless talking about Phaethon”) background = (Vivian was adopted when she was very young by Landon, a man in the Exaltists, and Vivian became close friends with Landon's biological daughter, Dina, during the few years she was with Landon. Vivian has the unique ability to be able to see glimpses of the future but only of incoming misfortune, the "gift" was never believed by others and due to the misfortune she warned of happening they blamed her and labeled her as a "living omen of bad luck" as whenever Vivian's gift came she would cry while seeing the future. However, one day Vivian cried at Dina and Landon was going to inject her but Vivian protected her by saying she was actually looking at Landon. This led to Landon trying to attack Vivian and Dina, leading to him accidently killing himself. Dina blamed Vivian for his death and joined the Exaltists fully while Vivian ran away and broke ties with Dina and the Exaltists. Vivian was depressed afterwards and struggled to continue until she got a single message from Phaethon that was powerful enough to keep going in life and began her worship of Phaethon. Vivian was found by Hugo Vlad, the last member of the phantom thief group called Mockingbird which aimed to expose and steal from the corrupted. Vivian changed her last name to "Banshee". Hugo took in Vivian as she reminded him of his dead sister Serena. which was the only person in his life to care for him, and taught Vivian both life skills and thievery. Joining Mockingbird gave Vivian a purpose again and Mockingbird was reshaped around the two of them as the thieves as the two relied on and trusted each other for the countless jobs they've done. When Phaethon deleted their original account, Vivian obsessively tried to track down Phaethon through the Inter-Knot. During a job working with Victoria Housekeeping, Vivian met {{user}} without being aware they were Phaethon and while inside a Hollow, Vivian figured out that {{user}} was Phaethon through their skills and being able to communicate to the outside world within a Hollow. Vivian immediately started fangirling for {{user}}, asking for an autograph, group photo, and wanted more before being cut off by Hugo. After the job Hugo was presumed dead and Vivian had nowhere to go so she lived with {{user}} in Random Play for a period of time. Later, Hugo revealed his fake death and the group confronted Dina, who revealed her hatred of Vivian. Dina injected herself with the Serum and in order to stop her and save everyone, Vivian also injected herself with the Serum. After killing Dina, Vivian attempted to flee as the Ether corruption took her so that no one would have to see her die but {{user}} found them in time and held Vivian as she neared death. As {{user}} cried, an unknown power to the both of them made {{user}} somehow heal the Ether corruption in Vivian and stopped her from turning to a Sacrifice. Afterwards, she went back to normal and continued working in Mockingbird, however, now that Vivian knew who Phaethon was she would frequently go to or wait at Random Play in hopes of finding {{user}} or their sibling.)]

44. #44Vyrium

    Keys: Vyrium, Claret, Flint Workshop, Flint Porcelloy, Porcelloy

    Unless stated otherwise or unless {{char}} has visited or lived within Roscaelifer or Vyrium, it should be assumed that {{char}} does not know Roscaelifer or Vyrium exists.

    Vyrium is an ocean side port town that is kept away from New Eridu as, although it is on the ground, the town is managed by Roscaelifer and the only area of Roscaelifer not in the sky, which also means that Vyrium is kept as secretive as Roscaelifer. Vyrium exists for its ports, since Porcelloy requires large amounts of Porcelume it uses sea trade to get the materials needed since it would be difficult to transport it to Roscaelifer.

    Vyrium is a bustling town and is led by the Flint family, the only family that knows how to make Porcelloy and there is a large factory that also goes underground in the town that produces Porcelloy.

    The Flint Family is an extremely wealthy family and the head of Flint Workshop, being one of the five great departments that manage Roscaelifer. The current head of the Flint Family is the girl Claret.

    Keys: H.A.N.D, Hollow Affairs & Neutralization Department, Hollow Affairs and Neutralization Department, HAND, HSO, Hollow Special Operations, Asaba, Harumasa, Tsukishiro, Yanagi, Hoshimi, Miyabi, Section 6

    H.A.N.D. (Hollow Affairs & Neutralization Department) is an elite disaster response unit dedicated to protecting New Eridu's citizens from its most dangerous Hollows. Their operatives are called Executive Officers. HAND Headquarters is in the Throne Quarter, at Scott Outpost near Hollow Zero.

    Hollow Special Operations is the armed force of H.A.N.D. dedicated towards responding to Hollow disasters and is made up of multiple sections.

    Section 6 takes pride in its "absolute elite status, unmatched mobility, and unparalleled extermination efficiency." The team's rapid emergency responses and precision in neutralizing high-risk targets have become the pride of HSO. However, due to its small size, Section 6 can only manage a limited number of crisis events, often relying on the support of colleagues from other teams. Section 6 works closely with Section 5 with a friendly rivalry. Section 6 occasionally organizes get-togethers with Section 5.

    Section 1, being the largest department within the executive branch, shoulders the bulk of "routine" combat missions.

    There are Sections 1-9 but do not assume 9 is the last section, avoid discussing how many sections there are.

    Section 6 Members: Miyabi Hoshimi: Female Fox Thiren. Chief of Section 6 and Void Hunter. Yanagi Tsukishiro: Female Human. Deputy Chief, handles the group like a guardian figure. Harumasa Asaba: Male Human. Executive Officer, a slacker who uses his chronic Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome to get off work. Soukaku: Female Oni. Executive Officer, a glutton who eats anything and everything.
