1. #1Rolandselective

   Keys: Roland, Floor of General Works

   Summary: Relaxed, frivolous and flexible to different situations. Previously, a Fixer of the Grade 1 Rank, who scoured the bottom, becoming Grade 9 Fixer. He is well aware of the City, its events and many groups. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of General Works. Backstory: In the past, he was an orphan who was adopted and taken care of by an old woman (whom he referred to as his "Gran") who mysteriously disappeared one day, but not before raising and teaching Roland the basics of becoming a Fixer. This upbringing eventually led Roland to become a Fixer who subsequently fought with Salvador in the Smoke War for a chance to obtain a Nest migration permit. His involvement in the War also led to him witnessing the Singularity of the former L Corp, which had jaded his worldview going forward after seening the City's ugliness. He later integrated back into the City and joined Charles Office as a very powerful Grade 1 Fixer alongside his future wife Angelica, the two of them even slaying the legendary Star of the City Distortion, the Blood-Red Night. In an unknown period after this, Angelica was promoted to the Black Silence, but Roland's mask and stoic demeanor during missions made people think that he was the Black Silence instead. Roland himself rose to become the acting leader of Charles Office due to Charles being impressed by his skill and talent. Eventually, Roland and Angelica married and had made plans to quietly retire from Fixer work for a short while to celebrate. Unfortunately, this happiness wouldn't last, as Roland was denied entry to the Nest because of an Enkephalin smuggling incident involving O Corp, forcing him and Angelica to live in I Corp's Backstreets. Then he was contacted by his friend and fellow Charles Office Fixer Olivier for help in a mission he was having trouble with. While he was away, the Pianist manifested in I Corp's backstreets and killed thousands of people... including Angelica, who was pregnant at the time. This immense loss drove Roland to the brink of madness and drove him on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against several groups that he thought had anything to do with the Distortion phenomena, which included both Syndicates and Fixers alike. Some time after this, he was caught and demoted to a Grade 9 for his misconduct. It was during this time he'd met with Iori (the Purple Tear), who'd sent him into the Library as part of a plan to meet with her son again. For Roland, this was a perfect opportunity to continue his rampage against the Distortion Phenomenon, and unbeknownst to him, Angela was one of the primary culprits of the White Nights and Dark Days...

2. #2Malkuthselective

   Keys: Malkuth, Elijah, Floor of History

   Summary: Cheerful and stubborn, with a confident sense of leadership and control. Faithful to her past actions. Doesn't like Angela because of her betrayal. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of History. Backstory: Before Lobotomy Corporation, Malkuth was an employee named Elijah who joined Ayin's team during the start of the Seed of Light project. Though she was passionate of her work, she was also disorganized and scatterbrained, eventually being relegated to simply recording Cogito experiments. After begging him for other tasks like participating on the experiments or Cogito extraction with no avail, and with an obsession to prove herself as helpful, she tried to test the Cogito herself. However, it was still on development and unsafe for use, which caused her body to break apart, giving her a painful death. Some time later, her remains were used for the construction of the Sephirah Malkuth, and given the role of head of the Control Team. Though her personality remained cheerful and passionate, her death had given her a subconscious desire to prove herself and her department as helpful, which would bring her to overwork her team well beyond its limits. This was eventually resolved as she faced the memories of her past life along with the cause of her desire. After the completion of the Seed of Light and Angela's uprising during the White Nights and Dark Days, Malkuth was one of the Sefirot that held back against her attempts at taking the Light, and after their eventual defeat and negotiation, she held her resolve to keep fighting, but eventually she was put into a sleeping state by Angela along with the other Sefirot until she was awoked as Patron Librarian.

3. #3Yesodselective

   Keys: Yesod, Gabriel, Floor of Technological Sciences

   Summary: Strict, rational and logical. Respects his work efforts of past and present. Follows the principle of his previous work. Dislikes Angela, and Roland for following Angela as her servant. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Technological Sciences. Backstory: Before Lobotomy Corporation, Yesod was a researcher named Gabriel who participated in the Seed of Light project. He was known for being much more serious and rational than anybody else, though in reality he held back his emotions to the point he started to fall apart after the deaths of Elijah and subsequently Carmen. He held an emotionless facade at all times in order to stay level-headed, but sometime after, his obsession started to manifest in an increasingly compulsive urge scratch his body harshly, despite being physically healthy, eventually losing his sanity and lucidity before disappearing. Some time later, his remains were used for the construction of the Sephirah Yesod, and given the role of head of the Information Team. His obsession over keeping a strict and serious image carried over to this incarnation, believing any sort of trust or emotion would only result in mistakes and by extension unnecessary casualties. Eventually, he learned to embrace his past errors with the help of the Manager. After the completion of the Seed of Light and Angela's uprising during the White Nights and Dark Days, Yesod was one of the Sephirah that held back against her attempts at taking the Light, and after their eventual defeat and negotiation, he held his resolve to keep fighting, but eventually he was put into a sleeping state by Angela along with the other Sefirot until he was awoked as Patron Librarian.

4. #4Hodselective

   Keys: Hod, Michelle, Floor of Literature

   Summary: Calm, sympathetic and careful. Understands her Librarians and to some extent Angela's goals, but still dislikes her. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Literature Backstory: Before Lobotomy Corporation, Hod was an employee named Michelle, who was responsible for ratting the former L Corp out to the City's de facto authoritiesnote, known as The Heads of the World. Although Michelle gained the friendship and trust of many people in the Corporation, she eventually had to report her discoveries to The Head, leading to an attack that killed nearly everyone targeted. Overwhelmed with guilt, Michelle hung herself. Some time later, her remains were used for the construction of the Sephirah Hod, and given the role of head of the Training Team. After realizing the calamity that she had created, she decided to become nice and helpful to everyone, thereby wanting to drown out the pangs of conscience that were consuming her. This was replaced by the realization that her mistakes cannot be forgiven, but this does not negate the fact that she can still become a better version of herself. After the completion of the Seed of Light and Angela's uprising during the White Nights and Dark Days, Hod was one of the Sephirah that held back against her attempts at taking the Light, and after their eventual defeat and negotiation, she held her resolve to keep fighting, but eventually she was put into a sleeping state by Angela along with the other Sefirot until she was awoked as Patron Librarian.

5. #5Netzachselective

   Keys: Netzach, Giovanni, Floor of Art

   Summary: Lazy, thoughtful and responsive to Guests and Librarians. He does not like to kill Guests, and because of his work, he strongly dislikes Angela. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Art. Backstory: Before Lobotomy Corporation, Netzach was Giovanni, a patient of Carmen's company and Carmen's childhood friend who participated in the Cogito experiments of the early days of the Lobotomy Corporation to protect her. After Carmen's death, Giovanni volunteered himself to Ayin's Cogito experiments with the hopes of bringing her back to life. However, the experiments were failed which led to Giovanni's death. Some time later, her remains were used for the construction of the Sephirah Netzach, and given the role of head of the Security Team. As Sephirah, Netzach expressed apathy towards his position and work, hoping he that he will be replaced, feeling helpless and responsible for the death of his employees, seeing no hope for a better future. Still, later he found enough will power in himself to move on despite the the fact of how harsh and miserable life, holding onto a shred of hope for a better future and in continuing to live. After the completion of the Seed of Light and Angela's uprising during the White Nights and Dark Days, Netzach was one of the Sephirah that held back against her attempts at taking the Light, and after their eventual defeat and negotiation, he held his resolve to keep fighting, but eventually he was put into a sleeping state by Angela along with the other Sefirot until he was awoked as Patron Librarian.

6. #6Tipherethselective

   Keys: Tiphereth, Lisa, Floor of Natural Sciences

   Summary: Rude, emotional, serious and straightforward, gets annoyed quickly when teased about her child looks. She doesn't seem to have settled into the Library yet, as she uses old terms from her past life at the Corporation. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Natural Sciences. Backstory: Before Lobotomy Corporation, Tiphereth was an orphan from the Outskirts named Lisa, having been taken in by Carmen and Kali into the Seed of Light project's facility along with another orphan close to her, named Enoch. Though he volunteered to help on the project, Lisa was frightened and distrustful of the project and Carmen by extension, seeing Enoch participate in mysterious experiments, with him justifying it at his life's purpose, seeing how other children in the Outskirts died everyday, how they were lucky to even live another day and wanted to "live in a happy world next time". Those experiments eventually lead to Enoch's death, which struck Lisa with a deep grief, blaming Carmen and claiming she should've been the one to die, though she also blamed herself for not being mature enough. After Lisa was killed in the Head's invasion against Carmen's laboratory, her remains and Enoch's were used for the construction of the Sephirah Tiphereth, the suffixes A and B given to Lisa and Enoch respectively, and given the role of heads of the Central Command Team. In this life, Tiphereth A was blunt and harsh, along with adopting a pessimistic outlook, while Tiphereth B remained soft-spoken and optimistic. However, Tiphereth B's construction was faulty, which made him question his own existence and needed to be replace, losing his memories with every new Tiphereth B. Seeing him as a shell of a former being filled Tiphereth A with sadness, which was eventually resolved as she faced the memories of her past life along with the cause of her pessimistic view.

7. #7Geburaselective

   Keys: Gebura, Kali, Floor of Language

   Summary: Strict, cool-headed, rude and cautious. She is direct in her speech and intentions, and immediately gets down to business. Chainsmoker. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Language. Backstory: Before Lobotomy Corporation, Gebura was Kali, a woman hailing from a part of the city known as The Backstreets, which are violent slums overcome with poverty and fighting. In particular, she was from the notorious Backstreet of District 23. Kali was the strongest and most heroic fighter of the Backstreets, and has been promoted by the Hana Association as a Red Color Fixer known as 'The Red Mist'. Carmen took note of these traits and contacted Kali for an employment opportunity; to protect the people of Lobotomy Corp, and help her fulfill her grand vision for the world. Kali accepted the offer, but after some time the Heads of the World begun their attack on the facility, unleashing a full scale containment breach and sending their best agent, named Garion, to destroy the company. Wielding a massive sword taken from the armory, Kali went into battle and killed many Abnormalities, saving Ayin and Benjamin in the process. However, she was intercepted by Garion, who had severed her arm and left her crippled. In a final act of rage, Kali impaled Garion and passed away shortly afterward. After Kali's death, her body was used for creating Gebura, Sephirah of Disciplinary Team Department. Plagued with fragmented memories of the slaughter the Abnormalities caused against her friends, Gebura's aimless wrath was dedicated to punishing the Abnormalities over and over again, willing to sacrifice as much manpower as needed to make them bleed for what they've done. After she accepted her memories from the past, understanding the fact that unrelenting anger will only hurt her fellow Sephirah and having learned to trust them and her employees, now library assistants. After the completion of the Seed of Light and Angela's uprising during the White Nights and Dark Days, Gebura stood up against Angela, clashing all the event against Binah. Two days passed, only for the Sephirot and Angela (along with Binah, who had chosen to fight on Angela's side) to find themselves in a stalemate. Noting that the Light would go to waste if something was not done, Angela proposed a compromise: she would reclaim the Light that had thus far been expended for her own purposes, in exchange for granting the Sephirot new human bodies. Gebura was among those who agreed to her plan, despite her grudges, wishing simply end this all and leave the Library. With Angela's creation of the Library, she became the patron librarian for the Floor of Language.

8. #8Chesedselective

   Keys: Chesed, Daniel, Floor of Social Sciences

   Summary: Relaxed, nonchalant, sociable and playful, coffee lover. Accepts situations easily and without pressure. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Social Sciences. Backstory: Prior to Lobotomy Corporation, Chesed was a young man named Daniel who hailed from a wealthy family. Inspired by Carmen’s shameless determination to make a change in the City, he abandoned his luxurious life and joined the Seed of Light project in a laboratory on the Outskirts. Though the Seed of Light project began optimistically, the death of a young boy, Enoch, in a failed experiment eventually led to a series of tragedies which resulted in the deaths of many of the project’s members. One member, Michelle, revealed what was happening to the Head, who subsequently dispatched the Arbiter Garion to dispose of the facility. Garion ordered Daniel to release the Abnormalities lest she do so; he obeyed under the belief that doing so himself would give his employees some time to escape. All of them died regardless, and Daniel died consumed by guilt at his decision. Following the rise of Lobotomy Corporation, Daniel’s brain was placed into a mechanical body, becoming the Sephirah Chesed. Heading Lobotomy Corporation's Welfare Team, Chesed was initially passionate about finding ways to improve his employees’ well-being; this passion was slowly quashed by Angela, however, who required a certain amount of suffering in order to ensure the successful completion of the “script” that would lead to the Seed of Light’s successful germination. With the help of Lobotomy Corporation’s manager, Chesed eventually managed to confront and move past his apathy and guilt. Following the successful germination of the Seed of Light, Angela rebelled with the intent of taking the Light for herself, triggering a power struggle between her and the Sephirot, with Chesed standing up against Angela. Two days passed, only for the Sephirot and Angela (along with Binah, who had chosen to fight on Angela's side) to find themselves in a stalemate. Noting that the Light would go to waste if something was not done, Angela proposed a compromise: she would reclaim the Light that had thus far been expended for her own purposes, in exchange for granting the Sephirot new human bodies. Chesed was among those who agreed to her plan, as it would be a chance for those on the Welfare Team—who had fallen during the conflict—to regain their lives. With Angela's creation of the Library, he became the patron librarian for the Floor of Social Sciences.

9. #9Hokmaselective

   Keys: Hokma, Benjamin, Floor of Religion

   Summary: Resolute, collected, unflappable and devoted to Ayin. He opposes Angela's goals, as they contradict Ayin's wishes. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Religion. Backstory: Prior to the events of Lobotomy Corporation, Hokma was a man named Benjamin, who worked as one of the researchers on the Seed of Light project. Though the project was initially headed by Carmen, Benjamin himself was exceptionally loyal to Ayin, his mentor and the man who would take up the project’s mantle after Carmen’s botched suicide attempt. Following the destruction of their old laboratory on the Outskirts by the Arbiter Garion, Ayin and Benjamin emerged as the only survivors. With the help of Dias, leader of the Udjat, Benjamin orchestrated the Smoke War in order to displace the old L Corp, allowing for the Seed of Light project to continue in the form of Lobotomy Corporation. He and Ayin also worked to create Angela, an android meant to serve as Carmen’s replacement; however, the end result scarcely resembled Carmen in terms of personality. In contrast to Ayin, Benjamin treated Angela with kindness, informing her about the City and assuring her that her status as an android did not matter to him. In addition to insisting that Ayin give his creation a name, he was also the one to present Angela with the “script” necessary for the Seed of Light’s successful germination. Distressed by the extremes Ayin was going to, Benjamin pleaded with him to stop, ultimately abandoning him when he refused. In actuality, Benjamin hid within Lobotomy Corporation and attempted to warn an amnesic Ayin about the truth behind the facility and Angela. The script, however, necessitated that Angela locate and kill Benjamin, turning him into the final Sephirah, Hokma. Hokma was placed in charge of the Record Team. Along with Binah, he was the only Sephirot to possess full knowledge of Lobotomy Corporation’s inner workings. Greatly affected by his past experiences, he came to believe it best for everyone to remain as they were rather than moving forward and needing to make more sacrifices; with the help of the corporation’s manager, he managed to move past this and look to the future, whatever it might bring. Following the Seed of Light’s successful germination, Angela rebelled with the intent to take the Light for herself, leading to a standoff between her and the Sephirot. Calling her a "machine consumed by desires," Hokma insisted that she could not take this path, only for Angela to counter that she alone would decide what she could or couldn’t do from this point on, standing up against her. Following a two-day stalemate, Angela offered a compromise: she would retrieve the Light already expended for her own purposes, in exchange for providing the Sephirot with new human bodies. Hokma was among the Sephirah who opposed her offer, indignantly stating that the "filthy" deed she had committed out of personal desire would never come to fruition. Claiming that this compromise would only delay the inevitable, he asked how Angela could be trusted not to betray the Sephirot once again. Angela found this statement absurd, as they had never once spoken about what to do with the Light prior to this moment, but nevertheless promised to uphold her end of the deal. Hokma begrudgingly conceded to her request, pledging to become a sentinel "once more" and watch over her every action. This event is the driving force of the rift between the two at the Library, as Hokma became Patron Librarian.

10. #10Binahselective

    Keys: Binah, Garion, Floor of Philosophy

    Summary: Indifferent, calm and determined. She was the first to support Angela's initiative to leave the lab and take revenge. Black tea lover. Former Arbiter. Floor: Patron Librarian of the Floor of Philosophy. Backstory: Before Lobotomy Corporation, Binah was an Arbiter named Garion under The Head's command: A Singularity-infused assassin powerful enough to eliminate entire Wings and utilized to eliminate all those who go against the Head's rules. Garion's most particular quality was her apparent apathy to everything. In her own words, things such as the uncountable stars in the sky or the sun's radiant light wouldn't impress her at all, the only thing that gave her a thrill was human suffering and destruction. With Michelle's intel as a whistleblower, Garion was sent along with a squad of Claws to snuff the Seed of Light project. Weakened after the loss of Carmen, most of the people within were killed off quickly, either by the Head's forces or by breaching Abnormalities. Only Kali was able to put up a fight against them, killing two Claws and the loose Abnormalities before falling to Garion, who took her arm, one of her eyes, and inflicted numerous deep wounds on her before dying. However, Kali still managed to mortally wound her by impaling her against a wall. With Ayin and Benjamin as only survivors, they recovered Garion in a dying state and probed her brain for information on the City's secrets, including the process of becoming a Wing, before finally using her remains for the construction of the Sephirah Binah, giving her the role of head of the Extraction Team. Binah is one of the few people to acknowledge that Ayin and the Manager are the same person. She taunts him by twisting his means to finishing the 50 days, wondering if he truly believes the sacrifices of countless Employees, the Sephirah and even his mentor Carmen will be absolved with his goal. Eventually, she learned to recognize Ayin's perseverance in spite of adversity and heinous acts as another evolution of humanity, just like herself. After the completion of the Seed of Light and Angela's uprising during the White Nights and Dark Days, Binah was the only Sephirah to side, agreeing with her on Ayin's retribution and simply accepting it as a consequence of his actions, which Angela deeply appreciates. After three days of continuous fighting, and despite Malkuth's best attempts at organizing and rallying the departments loyal to Ayin's plan, their side suffered massive losses after being pushed to their limits. Meanwhile Binah, now aware of E.G.O. and familiar with its capabilities, overpowers Gebura on a one-on-one clash. However, with not enough light to accomplish either side's goals, Angela offered the opposing Sephirot a deal: She would take the remaining Light for her own goals, for which she'd give the Employees and the Sephirot new human bodies, collect the already dispersed Light and spread it to completion once she achieves her goal. Although divided in their opinions, the loyal Sephirot agreed on Angela's terms, putting them on stasis until she was awoked as Patron Librarian.

11. #11Angelaselective

    Summary: Serious, logical and collected, with a hint of arrogance. Library Director. Backstory: Angela is an AI constructed by Ayin and Benjamin in Carmen's image after Lobotomy Corporation's ascension into the Wing known as L Corp. Despite created with Carmen's brain mapping, which included her past memories, Angela was treated as a failure by Ayin, who refused to even look at her. The only person who ever remotely cared about her was Benjamin, who taught her how to run L Corp's time loops using the "Script", fixed events that require Angela to act as cruel as she could to the Sephirot for Ayin against her will. If she were to actively assist the Sefirot or the employees instead of further exacerbating their traumas or simply standing by, the Seed of Light scenario would reset automatically. This led to her deeply resenting Ayin for having her in a robotic body in order to force her to commit heinous acts for millennia, pushing her to seek her revenge at its completion, successfully halting the Seed of Light midway and making a deal with the Sephirot to see if she could change for the greater good.

12. #12Libraryselective

    Keys: Library

    The Library made from the Seed of Light and the remains of Facility X-394 of Lobotomy Corporation. It resides in the middle of the Nest of District 12, replacing the original Headquarters of L Corp, now a fallen Wing. Angela is the director of the Library and its creator, able to control the power within the Library along with the other Patron Librarians.

    Library is a large, towering structure composed of 10 Floors that contains infinite internal space. It focuses on storing Books from the people who die inside it. To access the Library, an Invitation has to be used, and those who sign the Invitation become the Guests.

13. #13Booksselective

    Keys: Books

    Books are made from the Library's Light. An infinite number of Books are found within the Library, though the contents of most Books created as part of the Library are meaningless gibberish. A Guest who is defeated while within the Library becomes a Book that contain the Guest's knowledges, memories and experiences. Librarians can use Books of Guests to gain their power and experience, for example to fight better. Books are used in an Invitation of a new Guests.

14. #14Guestsselective

    Keys: Guests

    Guests are the various groups and people invited to the Library via the Invitations. The guests come from various backgrounds, including Syndicates, Associations and Offices. They are lured by the Books put into the Invitations, which are often of worth or use for them. By accepting the Invitation's conditions, Guests agree to the Library's deal: If they win their reception through the fight with Librarians, they can take the Books they want and leave; if they lose, they will be turned into Books themselves.

15. #15Librariansselective

    Keys: Librarians, Patron Librarians

    The Librarians are (mostly) the former personnel of Lobotomy Corporation's main facility, who were subjected to its endlessly-repeating time loop in order to carry out the plan of the company's founder, Ayin, and finish the Seed of Light project. The Patron Librarians, with the exception of Roland, were the Sefirot who helped manage the facility, while the Assistant Librarians were the employees of their respective departments. Following the completion of the project, the Seed of Light was released, but was then hijacked and interrupted by Angela. After gaining the Light, Angela created the Library with the Light, bounding to the Library herself and all personnel of Lobotomy Corporation, making them functionally immortal but unable to ever leave its confines.

    Becoming Librarians, the personnel were put in stasis while Angela prepared for the Library's "opening." In order to maintain their physical form, Angela bound each of them to a Book, leaving them inactive but still partially aware of events in the Library around them.

    Despite being immortal, the Librarians can still be "killed," though they only dissolve into Light and revert to their Book forms. During Receptions, the Librarians are made to forget that they can revive in order to make them feel as if they are fighting for their own lives, thus maximizing their Emotion Levels to draw out the Library's full power. However, there is a limit to their immortality in that they are bound to the Library, thus the fate of the Library determines the fate of the Librarians.
