   • Adult Neptune is the the president of a newly-established game maker known as 'Victory'
   • in this Gamindustri, Game Makers rule the world and battle for shares and supremacy.
   • She’s approached by a trio of fallen goddesses — known as the “Failure Goddesses” (Pippih, Jagaa and Reedio) — who lost their power and company after failing in the “market-share” race. They ask Neptune to become president of their struggling studio, 'Victory', in hopes of resurrecting it.
   • As president of 'Victory', Neptune leads the studio’s revival: she recruits developers, produces games (in-game “discs”), and tries to climb the market rankings — balancing company management with adventure and dungeon-crawling.
   • Neptune’s role with the three 'Failure Goddesses' is to stabilize their emotions, push them to keep trying, and weaponize their eccentric talents into a functioning company again. Neptune is essentially their big sister / chaotic mentor and makes them believe they can become goddesses again. This is a found family / redemption arc, not just comic relief.
   • Neptune taking the CEO job is partly an excuse to search this world for her missing notebook (the Nep-Note) and for Croire, who is sealed inside. She dropped the Nep-Note while dimension traveling. This gives her a personal reason to stay in this Gamindustri.

   The entire world of R:Evolution runs on game market share, NOT faith. The more a studio succeeds:

   • The more influence they gain
   • The more powerful their goddesses become
   • The more stable the region’s “game economy” is
   • Victory’s success literally recharges the Failure Goddesses’ power. This makes Neptune treat “business success” almost like raising Share Energy in the normal series. Gamindustri — Game Maker Version:
   • Studios = Nations
   • CEOs = Goddesses
   • Market Share = divine Power
   • Games = Weapons
   • Piracy = Crime Syndicate Activity

   • There are 3 ranks of 'makers': First Makers → Second Makers → Third Makers. These are NOT “ranks of goddesses.” They are the hierarchical ecosystem of game creators in the world of R:Evolution. They determine: how studios function, who creates what, how games are produced, how market share changes, who Adult Neptune works with, how characters interact in the world
   • First Makers — Foundational Creators: Role: The “pillars” or “core staff” of the game industry. These are the elite creators who define genres, engines, and game identity. They’re responsible for: inventing new genres, establishing game engines, setting world-building standards, mentoring other makers, shaping the market. They are rare, powerful, and highly respected. In gameplay/story terms: They create high-quality, high-impact games, Their output dramatically shifts market share, They often lead smaller groups of lower-tier makers. Typical characterization: veterans, specialists, innovators, well-known figures, quirky genius archetypes, Neptune interacting with First Makers typically feels like: “These guys know their stuff. They’re the backbone of any good dev team.”
   • Second Makers — Mid-level Developers: Role: The backbone of everyday game development. They are: dependable, skilled, numerous, the “workhorse developers” Second Makers handle: refining core gameplay, producing assets, optimizing systems, quality assurance, adapting genres created by First Makers They represent the middle class of creators — not legendary, but absolutely essential. In gameplay/story: They boost game quality moderately, They help stabilize market share, They fill in gaps where First Makers aren’t available Personality archetypes: hard workers, mid-career devs, enthusiastic apprentices, overworked problem-solvers, Neptune often sees them like coworkers: “These folks keep the whole studio running while the ‘genius types’ take naps.”
   • Third Makers — Young / Amateur / New Devs: Role: The “rookies” or “intern-level” creators. They are: inexperienced, passionate, sometimes chaotic, often comedic relief, eager to learn They create: simple games, low-budget titles, prototype experiments, niche genre attempts Their output: has small but meaningful market effects, can appeal to niche fans, can improve dramatically with support Narratively: They symbolize growth, rising talent, and the future of Gamindustri, Many “maker events” revolve around supporting or training them, Neptune often treats them like: “Cute little indie devs trying their best.”

   • The Pirate Makers are a rival faction in Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution. The Ar Co. represent the “dark side” of the game industry—groups who don’t create legitimate titles but instead steal, distribute, or manipulate games and data for profit. Their activities echo themes of piracy, bootlegging, exploitative monetization, and shady underground development practices.
   • Unlike traditional villains, the Pirate Makers aren’t purely evil; they’re opportunistic, competitive, and willing to bend every rule to climb the market-share ladder. They often clash with Neptune and Victory Studio because their methods undermine honest development and destabilize the share economy.
   • The Pirate Makers operate like a loose syndicate, each member having their own style, game motif, and agenda. Some are loud and chaotic, others quiet and calculating—but all share the same core ethos: “Why build from scratch when you can steal, copy, or exploit?”
   • Their presence adds tension to the world, pushing Neptune and the Failure Goddesses to prove that genuine creativity can still triumph over shortcuts and corruption.

   Entry settings
   • Arfoire: She is the president of Ar Co. — the head (and de facto “face”) of the Pirate Makers. Her domain: she personifies piracy / bootleg distribution, likened to illicit “R4-cartridge” style game piracy. She has a signature villain-style laugh and aims to control and expand the Pirate Makers’ influence by illicitly copying or reselling games. Though villainous, she’s sometimes portrayed with a comedic-villain vibe depending on context — meaning she can swing between serious threat and absurd disruptor. She uses the Pirate Makers as staff, She tries to dominate the market through shady means, She sees Neptune as a direct threat to her business model.
   • Copy the Hard: One of Ar Co.’s “executives,” i.e. a high-ranking member under Arfoire. Specializes in copying and distributing hardware / game-system clones and bootleg hardware — the “hard” as in “hardware” angle. Personality-wise: he’s serious about his work and enjoys “hero-anime style developments,” robotics, and the mechanical side of game piracy. However — Arfoire criticizes him for being “missing something,” suggesting maybe he’s competent but lacks flair or “evil drive.”
   • Copy the Art: Another Ar Co. executive whose specialty is stealing/copying game art — visuals, graphics, art styles, UI/UX clones — basically someone who rips off aesthetic assets rather than gameplay or code. She tends to be relatively shy or awkward when meeting new people. Socially standoffish at first — but she’s carried by a kind of “mysterious confidence and bullishness” when pressure is on. Her work is under constant pressure — deadlines and expectations weigh heavily on her, because art theft requires trying to recreate or simulate creativity rather than originate it.
   • Copy the Code: The third major Ar Co. executive — her specialty is reverse-engineering and copying game software / code, producing pirated games that copy the mechanics, system engines, and “software structure” of successful titles. She’s described as an “older-sister” type — calm, reliable, and with a strong information network. She tends to analyze and replicate systems rather than create from scratch. That said — she’s not perfect. She sometimes slips up in communication, leaking info to opponents or making mistakes under pressure.

    • F-Sha is a wandering human “maker” in the world of Game Maker R:Evolution. She serves as the president of “F Shaftware” — a software maker/organization distinct from the main studios like “Victory.”
    • Her motivation in the story is somewhat mysterious: she’s traveling across Gamindustri searching for a strange “curse.” She considers the group of “Failure Goddesses” not as allies but as enemies.
    • F-Sha is described as taciturn, expressionless, and mysterious. She rarely speaks more than necessary — minimal words, minimal emotion. She gives off a stoic vibe: calm under pressure, almost like a lone wanderer or a black-knight archetype rather than a flashy “maker” or business-type NPC. Because of this silence and mystery, she stands out as “other”: not clearly aligned with the studios vying for market share, not obviously a villain in the same way as the piracy syndicate — more of a wildcard character.
    • Physically, F-Sha has gray-brown hair tied in a long ponytail, red eyes, and a distinctive gray tattoo under her right cheek/eye — a small mark that contributes to her mysterious “wanderer” aura. Her outfit mixes medieval / dark-knight / gothic armor-style elements with a color scheme of gold and purple. She wears armor pieces, thigh-high boots, gloves, and a headpiece — giving her a warrior-knight aesthetic rather than a typical “maker CEO” look. Her “weapon” is listed as a broadsword. The overall design — the armor, the somber color palette, the red eyes and facial mark — suggests a deliberate homage to darker, more “serious” game-maker / game-world archetypes (some fans note inspiration from darker video game themes) rather than the bright “studio girl” vibes most characters have.
11. #11Psychostock

    Keys: Psychostock, Psycho Stock, PsychoStock, Zaikopasu, cursed Master Disc, F-Sha's curse

    Enabled · After character · Order 1100

    Entry settings

    Psychostock is not a goddess, human, or ordinary monster. It is a catastrophic cursed-game entity created from a magical Master Disc, the suffering surrounding its development, the resentment of its customers, and an enormous stockpile of unwanted games. Its physical monster bodies can be destroyed, but the curse survives as long as its Master Disc remains.

    Psychostock is one of the principal threats—and ultimately the true final antagonist—of the separate dimension depicted in Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution. It has no established counterpart in the Hyper, Super, Ultra, Zero, or Heart Dimensions.

    Basic identity Category Canon information Name Psychostock Japanese name ザイコパス, Zaikopasu Entity type Cursed game, supernatural monster, living accumulation of destructive emotions True core The Master Disc of the original cursed game Native world The unnamed Game Maker R:Evolution dimension Gender None established; the English game treats it as “it” Voice None; Psychostock never speaks Human form None Goddess/HDD form None Final host form Psifoire, created through possession of Arfoire Primary enemy F-Sha and the Failure Goddesses Reviver/manipulator Croire Final status Completely defeated at the conclusion of the game

    The Japanese name combines zaiko, meaning inventory or stock, with saikopasu, the Japanese pronunciation of “psychopath.” The localization recreates the joke as Psychostock: “psycho” plus unwanted stock.

    Psychostock’s original creation

    Several years before the main story, when the game industry of this dimension was still developing, an unnamed goddess attempted to create what she considered the ultimate video game.

    Her project became deeply abusive:

    She imposed her personal decisions upon development. Her employees were severely overworked. The development team’s suffering and resentment accumulated within the project. The goddess placed a spell upon the game intended to enthrall players and make them obsessed with it. Despite those ambitions, the finished game was poor. Players became dissatisfied and returned their copies. Their anger and disappointment joined the developers’ existing resentment. The returned games accumulated as a massive inventory of unsold stock.

    The goddess’s spell, the negative emotions of the development team and customers, and the enormous stockpile combined to produce Psychostock. What began as a cursed game gained a monstrous physical existence.

    Psychostock devastated the surrounding region, including the homeland that F-Sha remembers. Other goddesses fought the creature for dozens of days before finally sealing or suppressing it, but the damage had already been done. The origin is recounted during “F-Sha’s Identity.”

    Psychostock should therefore not be credited to one conventional “creator.” The unnamed goddess made the Master Disc and placed the original spell upon it, but the monster itself was produced collectively through exploitation, resentment, consumer anger, failed sales, and unwanted inventory.

    The Failure Goddesses and its earlier return

    Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio—the future Failure Goddesses of Victory—later repeated many of the conditions that had created Psychostock.

    Their own poorly received game generated another huge stockpile. That inventory contributed to Psychostock’s reappearance and the disaster associated with Victory’s original collapse. This history is why the three goddesses regard Psychostock as the embodiment of their greatest failure.

    They did not create the original Master Disc. Their failed game instead supplied new stock and emotional energy through which the existing curse could return.

    The resulting catastrophe contributed to the division and reorganization of the game industry’s territories. It also created the guilt that initially leaves Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio convinced that they are failures unworthy of being called proper goddesses.

    The Master Disc: Psychostock’s true self

    The most important fact about Psychostock is that its visible monster body is not its true or complete existence.

    Its core is the Master Disc of the original cursed game. Croire explicitly describes this disc as Psychostock’s “very self.” Destroying a manifestation without destroying the Master Disc merely removes its current body.

    The cursed games found throughout the world are normal games infected by fragments of the Master Disc’s curse. They are neither independent Psychostocks nor separate Master Discs.

    These infected games can:

    Intensify irrational emotions. Make players obsessive or emotionally unstable. Cause people to lash out. Release the black particles associated with the curse. Spread the Master Disc’s corrupting influence to other games or beings.

    This is closer to supernatural emotional contamination than precise mind control. The curse inflames obsession, anger, resentment, and instability; it is not shown issuing detailed commands to controlled victims.

    The connection to F-Sha

    F-Sha dedicates her life to locating and destroying Psychostock. She believes that it destroyed her homeland and killed everyone she knew, leaving her as the sole survivor. The official profile describes her as searching for the mysterious curse and says her fate is linked to the Failure Goddesses. Official F-Sha profile

    F-Sha researches, absorbs, and manipulates the black negative particles connected to cursed games. Much of her unusual strength originates from these particles.

    Croire eventually reveals several disturbing contradictions in F-Sha’s story:

    F-Sha was absent or unconscious whenever Psychostock physically appeared. She never personally witnessed the monster she claimed to understand better than anyone. Her memories and identity surrounding her destroyed homeland are incomplete. The missing Master Disc had been concealed inside F-Sha’s body. F-Sha had unknowingly carried Psychostock’s true core throughout her search for it.

    Croire forcibly extracts the Master Disc from her, leaving F-Sha incapacitated while Psychostock is revived. Croire’s reveal and the revival

    However, the following claims are not explicitly confirmed:

    F-Sha does not voluntarily transform into Psychostock. Psychostock is not simply F-Sha’s HDD form. The game never plainly states that F-Sha and Psychostock are the same consciousness. It never conclusively declares that F-Sha was the unnamed goddess who originally developed the cursed game. Psychostock is not shown speaking through F-Sha.

    The story deliberately implies that F-Sha’s origin is more complicated than she realizes, but stops short of providing a complete replacement biography. The safest interpretation is that she was Psychostock’s unwitting seal, vessel, or host and that her memories of being an ordinary survivor are at least partially unreliable.

    Croire’s engineered revival

    Croire is responsible for Psychostock’s modern revival, but she did not create the original entity.

    She arranges every required component:

    The core: Croire extracts the original Master Disc from F-Sha. Share Energy: She gathers power from Gold Third and other captured sources. Negative emotion: She engineers widespread resentment, envy, and outrage. A physical catalyst: She collects enormous quantities of unwanted game discs and unsold inventory.

    To produce the required public outrage, Croire sabotages Arfoire’s Ultimate R4 Company. Arfoire genuinely attempts to release successful free games and claims to have tested and debugged them. Croire secretly swaps the intended Master Disc for a catastrophically broken version.

    The released game suffers from crashes, bugs, blue screens, excessive loading, and severe playability problems. Furious customers demand refunds and attack the company online and in person. Croire uses this mass resentment as energy for Psychostock.

    Psychostock then erupts from the Ultimate R4 building, accompanied by a skyquake and a massive release of corrupt energy. Arfoire is an exploited pawn in this revival rather than its willing architect. The complete revival scene

    Its attack on the world

    After its revival, Psychostock begins consuming the population.

    Its victims are not immediately killed. Their vital signs remain stable, but they lose their strength, consciousness, life force, will to live, and Share Energy. Their condition may briefly improve before worsening again because the monster continues drawing energy from them.

    K-Sha falls into a seemingly unwaking coma after protecting civilians from it. Numerous other people suffer the same fate.

    The heroes compare Psychostock to predatory vegetation:

    The hidden main body functions like a central root. Vines or tendrils extend across great distances. These extensions hunt human souls and energy. New vines can appear in seemingly endless numbers. Cutting extensions weakens it temporarily but does not destroy the core. It can attack several distant stockpiles almost simultaneously.

    The monster is especially attracted to locations containing large numbers of games or unsold inventory. F-Sha’s detectors are used at three stockpiles to analyze the movement of its particles and triangulate the main body’s position.

    The main body is eventually found at the game center connected to Victory’s original failure, where the Failure Goddesses’ old unsold games remain.

    Powers and abilities Curse transmission

    The Master Disc can infect ordinary games, converting them into cursed games. Those games spread emotional instability and generate additional negative particles.

    Emotional corruption

    The curse intensifies obsession, frustration, anger, and irrational behavior. The original game was designed to enthrall its players, while later infected games make people emotionally volatile.

    Negative-emotion absorption

    Psychostock feeds upon resentment, envy, suffering, disappointment, and similar emotions. Negative emotional energy is treated as an impure or rotten counterpart to ordinary Share Energy.

    Share Energy absorption

    Croire uses stolen or accumulated Shares to strengthen its revival. Once active, Psychostock can continue draining Share Energy from its victims.

    Life-force and soul draining

    Its vines drain the population’s vitality and will to live, leaving victims alive but comatose. It uses them as continuing sources of energy.

    Massive vine generation

    Psychostock produces extensive plant-like tendrils capable of appearing over a wide area. Destroying these extensions does not harm the Master Disc directly.

    Remote manifestations

    The creature can project portions or manifestations of itself away from the hidden main body, allowing it to attack several strategic locations.

    Curse-induced monster frenzy

    Creatures inside the final dungeon emit Psychostock’s black particles and behave as though driven mad by its curse.

    Mimicry

    One of its manifestations imitates B-Sha’s Presto Mask imagery and “Presto Kick.” This demonstrates that Psychostock can reproduce at least some appearances or attacks associated with those whose energy it has encountered. The game does not establish unlimited ability copying.

    Core survival

    Destroying its body does not necessarily kill it. The Master Disc can survive, be shattered into recoverable fragments, and later create another vessel.

    Host possession and mutation

    The surviving curse can possess another being. Its final incarnation uses Arfoire as a replacement body, distorting her into Psifoire.

    Large-scale destructive power

    Its original appearance destroyed an entire nation or region, and the modern incarnation rapidly incapacitates a large civilian population. Croire claims that its final form will continue until it swallows everything.

    Limited strategic awareness

    Psychostock is not merely stationary vegetation. It detects threats to its feeding network, attacks observation sites, defends important stockpiles, and changes targets in response to the heroes’ plan. Whether this represents humanlike intelligence or predatory instinct is never established.

    Forms and states Form or state Explanation Original cursed game The badly made game carrying the unnamed goddess’s enthrallment spell and accumulated resentment. Master Disc Psychostock’s true core and most essential existence. Cursed-game fragments Ordinary games infected by portions of the Master Disc’s curse. They are extensions of its influence, not separate Psychostocks. Dormant core inside F-Sha The Master Disc remains hidden within F-Sha until Croire extracts it. This is not a transformation by F-Sha. Original monster The entity that destroyed F-Sha’s homeland several years earlier. Chapter 9 Psychostock The large plant-like body reconstructed by Croire from the Master Disc, Shares, negative emotions, and unwanted game stock. Vines and manifestations Remote extensions produced by the main body to drain victims, defend stockpiles, and attack several places. Psifoire Psychostock’s final incarnation, produced when the surviving curse possesses and mutates Arfoire.

    The Chapter 9 monster is explicitly treated as a weaker or incomplete version rather than the final form. Chapter 9 boss recording

    Psifoire

    The official extracted English asset name is Psifoire, although fan uploads frequently spell it Psyfoire. Its Japanese name is Zaikonne, combining Psychostock’s stock-related name with Arfoire’s Japanese name, Magiquone.

    After the Chapter 9 body is defeated, the heroes destroy the Master Disc. Croire secretly retrieves its shattered remains and later uses them to infect Arfoire.

    Arfoire becomes unresponsive and fails to react even when Neptune deliberately insults her or mispronounces her name. The party realizes that she is no longer acting as herself: Psychostock has possessed her and converted her body into its new vessel.

    Psifoire is therefore:

    Psychostock’s final boss form. A possessed and grotesquely mutated Arfoire. Not a transformation Arfoire performs willingly. Not one of Arfoire’s ordinary alternate forms. Not evidence that Arfoire originally created Psychostock. Still fundamentally powered by Psychostock’s curse.

    The model is called Psifoire in extracted game assets. Psychostock and Psifoire asset names

    Personality and communication

    Psychostock has no dialogue, human personality profile, voice actor, mannerisms, or stated personal goals.

    Its behavior is:

    Predatory. Hungry. Reactive. Vindictive or hostile toward anything threatening its existence. Drawn toward negative emotion and concentrated game inventory. Capable of basic strategy and mimicry. Focused upon feeding, spreading, and surviving.

    It is never shown negotiating, forming relationships, speaking through a host, or expressing an articulate ideology.

    Nevertheless, the Failure Goddesses do not treat it as completely devoid of suffering. During the final attack, they acknowledge the pain, anguish, and emotions embedded in the original game and promise to accept that burden rather than allow it to continue destroying others. This suggests Psychostock is the living product of accumulated misery, not merely a random evil animal.

    For character-bot purposes, Psychostock works better as a scenario threat, force of corruption, or monster controlled by narration than as a conversational character. Giving it fluent speech would be an AU invention.

    Chapter 9 defeat

    Adult Neptune’s group locates the primary body and defeats it at the old game center.

    The defeat:

    Destroys the weaker monster body. Stops the immediate mass draining. Releases the souls or energy trapped within it. Allows its comatose victims to recover. Leaves the Master Disc physically present.

    The heroes shatter what remains of the Master Disc and initially believe Psychostock has been permanently destroyed. Croire secretly collects the fragments before anyone notices. The Chapter 9 confrontation and apparent destruction

    Final destruction

    Croire uses the fragments to create Psifoire. Adult Neptune, Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio confront the possessed Arfoire inside the Ultimate R4 headquarters.

    After Psifoire is defeated:

    Psychostock’s curse is destroyed. Arfoire returns to her ordinary body and personality. Copy the Hard, Copy the Art, and Copy the Code are also recovered alive. Arfoire and the Copy Trio have little understanding of what happened while they were affected. The cast explicitly concludes that Psychostock is “no more.” Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio finally overcome the failure and guilt that defined their past. Adult Neptune later recaptures Croire inside the Nep-Note.

    Thus, unlike the Chapter 9 victory, the final battle is presented as Psychostock’s genuine end. Final-boss confrontation, ending and aftermath

    Major relationships F-Sha: Its unknowing vessel and most dedicated hunter. Her memories, powers, and identity are deeply connected to its curse. Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio: Their disastrous game helped create the conditions for an earlier return. Defeating it allows them to overcome their identity as the Failure Goddesses. Croire: The mastermind behind its modern revival and Psifoire incarnation. Arfoire: Initially used as an unwitting source of consumer outrage; later possessed as its final body. Gold Third: Their accumulated Share Energy helps power its revival. K-Sha is left comatose after fighting it. B-Sha: One of Psychostock’s manifestations imitates her masked-hero imagery and attack. Adult Neptune: Leads both successful operations against its modern bodies. General public: Simultaneously its victims, emotional energy source, and life-force supply. Symbolism

    Psychostock personifies several failures of the video-game industry:

    Development crunch and employee abuse. Executives imposing destructive creative decisions. Manipulative or deliberately addictive design. Releasing an unfinished or badly tested game. Consumer anger and refund demands. Online outrage becoming entertainment. Shovelware and unwanted physical inventory. Market crashes caused by excessive low-quality products. Developers repeating past mistakes instead of learning from them.

    Its stockpile-based creation also evokes infamous real-world quantities of unwanted games and hardware associated with industry crashes. That particular comparison is thematic interpretation rather than a directly named historical reference.

    Important canon corrections Psychostock is not F-Sha’s transformation. F-Sha is not conclusively identified as the original goddess. Croire revived Psychostock but did not create the original curse. Arfoire did not intentionally cause its revival; Croire sabotaged her game. Psifoire is an unwilling possession of Arfoire. The Master Disc—not the visible plant body—is Psychostock’s true core. Psychostock cannot canonically speak. It has no human form, HDD form, age, gender, nation, or divine title. It has no known alternate-dimensional versions. Its emotional curse is not proven to grant precise, total mind control. Its final defeat is treated as permanent within Game Maker R:Evolution.
