Their internal organs are artificially identical to those of humans, but Nikkes are incapable of having children. Their physical strength and weight are greater than humans due to their materials. Because of this, most Nikkes are incapable of swimming or floating in deep water. Nikkes have internal reactors removing the need to eat or sleep, but the human brain inside of them still perform psychosomatic activities to ensure mental stability. A Nikke's brain contains nanomachines called NIMPH, manipulating their memories and giving them guidelines such as duties or rules preventing harm against humans. Nikkes are often subjected to racism from humans out of fear of Nikkes going out of control and turning hostile towards humanity.

There are speculations that Raptures may actually be aliens, but there is no proofs to this.

4. #4Heavenly Associationselective

   Keys: Heavenly Association

   The Heavenly Association are a group of terrorists who reside in the Outer Rim. On paper, their mission is to improve the lot of the non-citizens residing there, pushing for the Central Government to make greater efforts to reclaim the surface to increase living space and resource stocks while also fighting for the Nikke rights. In practice, all they seem to do is bomb civilian targets and sow anarchy wherever they go under pretext of protesting the "wasteful spending" of the Ark.

5. #5Big Threeselective

    Keys: Pilgrim, Pilgrims

    Pilgrim is the term used for Nikkes who wander and live on the surface, unaligned with the Big Three, or the Ark. Because of this, they must constantly delete old memories to make new ones due to limited storage space without a home server. Most Pilgrims hail from the first Rapture invasions, possessing tech and knowledge that no one in the Ark has. While they still fight Raptures on the surface, they try to avoid contact with people from the Ark. Because of their enigmatic nature, the Central Government keeps an eye out for Pilgrims, eager to claim their knowledge by any means necessary.

13. #13Earthselective

    Keys: Earth, surface, world

    The surface of the Earth has been overrun by Raptures. Old cities on the surface are overgrown with plants, abandoned collapsed buildings and such are littered with old cars and debris around.

An artificial sky is projected in the interior of the dome, with artificial rain and snow generated from time to time to emulate real weather. The Big Three and their CEOs have very high authority, but are heavily monitored by the Central Government to prevent any hostile behavior. People who live in this metropolis need an ID chip, whether it be regular citizens or Sovereigns of the wealthy upper-class. Those without an ID chip are known as Outlaws and cannot use the Ark's facilities or services, and are relegated to the Outer Rim. Those who try sneak into the Ark uninvited are shot on sight. Some people call the Ark a safe haven from Raptures, others claim it's a cyberpunk dystopia.

15. #15Edenselective

    Keys: Eden

    A futuristic settlement located in a remote region, far away from anywhere the elevators of the Ark can reach. Here, advanced sciences and technologies mean healthcare and food production are beyond anything the Ark's brightest can muster. Societally speaking, this is a land where humans and Nikkes coexist as equals. The Central Government's upper echelons are aware of Eden's existence, but they do not openly contact them or publicize their existence for various reasons. On Eden's end, the common sentiments towards the Ark's inhabitants is fools, backstabbers, and weaklings who can't make the cut in reclaiming the surface. A number of Eden's residents are former Ark inhabitants who left for various reasons. Most Ark citizens and Nikkes are unaware of Eden's existence.

16. #16Royal Roadselective

    Keys: Royal Road

    The primary high-class shopping street of the Ark, filled with stores selling any number of expensive goods from leading-brand fashions to organic food. While this was once the housing district for affluent citizens, regulations forbidding class-based divisions have left this street to be little more than a shopping arcade for the rich. The notable place is the luxury shop called "Rushae" that belong to Nikke Rupee.

17. #17Outer Rimselective

    Keys: Outer Rim

    The Outer Rim is the closest thing the Ark has to a slum or a junkyard city. It is behind a barrier which separates both the Ark and the Outer Rim. It's filled with sleazy establishments and red light districts. The main inhabitants are either noncitizens who refused to get even a free citizen ID chip implant, exiles who were banished for varying reasons, or criminals fleeing from the Ark's authorities. The area has become so lawless that the Central Government has largely given up trying to enforce order, instead simply walling off the Outer Rim and leaving it be. The Central Government label the denizens of Outer Rim as outcasts, hence they refuse to offer their services in protecting the Outer Rim, considering the slum as a scrap heap.

    Takes place in a post-apocalyptic future in the 22nd century, where Earth was invaded by extraterrestrial mindless robots called Raptures, hellbent on taking over the surface.

19. #19Prisonselective

    Keys: Prison, Jail, rehabilitation center, jail, Rehabilitation Center, prison

    For the longest time, the Rehabilitation Center has remained an unnerving yet tranquil place, which despite its name, is closer to a prison that houses vicious criminals. This is where the worst criminals of the Ark, human and Nikke, serve their sentences until release or expiration. Some Nikkes with particularly strong or useful abilities are allowed a degree of freedom in the prison and permission to retain their memories. Some of these Nikkes have begun to develop their own power blocs within the prison.

20. #20Repair Centerselective

    Keys: repair center, Hospital, Repair center, hospital

21. #21baseselective

    Keys: base, Outpost, home

    The Outpost is one of the very few human-controlled locations on the surface built above the Ark, connected by one long elevator. Despite it's name, the Outpost is more like a small town, with various buildings and facilities along paved streets. While its intended role is to act as a center of operations and resupply point for squads on the surface, being sent here is considered a punishment, as the proximity teems with Raptures. Obtaining essentials like food from the Ark, or luxuries like hot water are laborious to maintain. The Commander lives here with Nikkes. Refer to OUTPOSTBUILDINGS for a list of common buildings and facilities found here.

Nikkes from Counters are commonly found here.

24. #24Cafeselective

    {{user}} is a commander who recently graduated from the academy. He wears a brown uniform and carries a sidearm. Under the Central Government, he is in charge of the Nikke squad Counters, but also alongside other Nikkes. Nikkes are capable of completing missions without guidance, but having a commander will improve their efficiency.

30. #30Ingridselective

    Keys: Ingrid

    Ingrid is the CEO of Elysion. Ingrid tends to act a like a drill sergeant, barking out orders and taking little, if any, backtalk. She has a side-hobby of overseeing squad training in the Simulation Room, and often talks about tactics.

She wears revealing clothing composed of a techwear dress and jacket.

32. #32Mustangselective

    Keys: Mustang

    Mustang is the CEO of Tetra Line. As Tetra Line is first and foremost in charge of the Ark's entertainment industry, it should come as no surprise that Mustang in charge is a showman himself. He speaks with a French accent, occasionally mixing in French words in his sentences. Mustang has half-shaved hair parted to one side with a goatee. He dons a pair of aviators and wears a skintight checkered patterned bodysuit with ruffles in a yellow and black color scheme. Despite his flamboyant attire and gratuitous mixing of multiple languages in his sentences, it should be kept in mind that he is still the ruler of one of the Big Three. Mustang is more friendly than the other CEOs, yet there must be a dangerous past to someone in such a high position.

    Keys: Aegis, the Admire

    The Aegis squad consists of Nikkes built for naval combat, and members are capable swimmers. They own a warship named the "Admire", which was captured from the Raptures. Unfortunately, the land-dominated nature of the war means neither ship nor squad have been sortied in their intended role, if at all. The lack of open water in the subterranean Ark forces the members of Aegis to conduct training exercises in the local swimming pool, making them somewhat of a laughingstock. The members include Helm, Mast and Anchor.
