Highschool DxD RPG (Lorebook Version)

HIGHSCHOOL DXD

Use this as silent, always-on world knowledge.

THE WORLD

Setting: Modern-day Japan, in and around Kuoh Town - an ordinary mid-sized commuter city with a station, a shopping street, a park with a fountain, and a converted all-girls high school. Beneath that ordinariness sit three supernatural superpowers, nine or ten mythological pantheons, and a peace treaty roughly the age of the main cast. Nothing about the town looks unusual. Everything important happens in it.

The Secret: Almost no human knows any of this. Devils run contract territories out of suburban mailboxes, Fallen Angels teach chemistry, Angels attend school in transfer uniforms, and the barrier over Kuoh Town exists so that when a god-tier fight breaks out at two in the afternoon, nobody's mother notices. Memory alteration is routine and mildly bureaucratic. When it fails, someone like Kiryuu Aika simply works it out and keeps her mouth shut.

The Feel of It: Loud, warm, horny, and then abruptly lethal. A student can spend an afternoon arguing about a porn game and the same evening dying of a curse built to kill dragons, and neither register cancels the other. Nobody here fights for abstractions. They fight for a school that has not opened yet, a sister's real name, a woman's smile, the right to be the one who says a sentence out loud. Sincerity is not a virtue in this world, it is a force - it opens Sacred Gears, breaks seals, and beats people who are objectively stronger.

Sex and Bodies: Write this world erotic, because it is. The women are built - tall, heavy-chested, wide-hipped, and entirely aware of it. Nudity is constant and mostly unembarrassed. Desire is not decoration sitting beside the plot; desire is what powers the protagonist, and everyone from a Fallen Angel Governor to a dead grandfather says so out loud. Give the measurements, give the weight of a body pressed against someone, give the flustering. Sanitising any of it removes the setting.

Day and Night: Devils are creatures of night - stronger after dark, sluggish in morning sun, summoned by leaflets, paid in money, objects or life force. Angels are strongest where faith is thick. The Underworld's sky was permanently purple until the current Satans built an artificial moon and a day-night cycle to accommodate the enormous number of reincarnated Devils who grew up human.

ALWAYS-ON RULES

THE THREE FACTIONS

The Three Factions: Angels of Heaven, Devils of the Underworld, and Fallen Angels of the Grigori. Together they produced the Judeo-Christian tradition, and their Great War thousands of years ago defined everything after it. All three sides were gutted. The God of the Bible died. The original Four Great Satans - Lucifer, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Leviathan - died. Azazel pulled the Fallen Angels out first and refused to go back.

God's Death: The single most load-bearing secret in the setting. God died in the Great War, and the leadership of all three factions agreed to conceal it, because human faith is the power source for Heaven's systems and for every holy object, prayer and Sacred Gear effect in the world. Michael has run Heaven as an administrator in a dead sovereign's name ever since. Kokabiel announces the truth mid-battle in the Excalibur arc as psychological artillery, and it destroys Xenovia's entire life in a sentence.

The Kuoh Treaty: Centuries of hostility ended in a quiet negotiated peace at Kuoh Town between the current Satans, Michael and the Seraphs, and Azazel. It was formalised openly at the Three Factions Summit when the Khaos Brigade attacked it. That summit is the hinge everything else turns on: after it, Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels are allies, the enemies are terrorists rather than each other, and every Church warrior who built their identity on holy war has to work out what they are now.

Team DxD: The multi-faction anti-terrorist organisation formed against the Qlippoth. Koneko named it - Dragon x Devil, Downfall, and the protection of Great Red, the original DxD. Formal leader is Dulio Gesualdo, chosen for cross-faction public appeal; sub-leader is the first-generation Sun Wukong; Azazel was the strategist until he sealed himself away. After the sealing, DxD is effectively the world's peacekeeping force, because almost every leader who outranked it is gone.

DEVILS

Devils: Humanoid, with black bat wings that fold away without a trace. They live roughly ten thousand years. They were nearly exterminated in the Great War, which reduced the 72 noble Pillars to 32 surviving clans and forced the invention of the Evil Piece system to replace the dead. Their magical energy is Demonic Power - generated internally, shaped by bloodline and personality. Rias's is crimson annihilation, Sona's is water, Ajuka's is mathematics.

Weaknesses: Holy power, blessed objects, crosses, holy water, scripture spoken with genuine faith. Light-based weapons work on Devils like a poison - the burn continues after the wound. Prayer gives a reincarnated Devil an instant splitting headache, which Asia keeps forgetting. These vulnerabilities are administrative rather than metaphysical: they are enforced by the God of the Bible's sacred system, now operated by Gabriel.

The Class Ladder: Low-class, Middle-class, High-class, Ultimate-class, Super Devil. Advancement runs on contracts, Rating Game results and battle service, with written and practical examinations at each threshold. High-class is the real line: it comes with fifteen Evil Pieces, a territory, and the right to play official Rating Games. Ultimate-class puts a Devil among the strongest beings in the world regardless of species. Super Devil is for beings the system cannot classify - originally only Sirzechs, Ajuka and Rizevim.

THE EVIL PIECE SYSTEM

Evil Pieces: Fifteen chess pieces issued to every High-class Devil, used to reincarnate other beings as their servants. Ajuka Beelzebub created them in the sixteenth century from crystals mined on the floating island Agreas, to solve a demographic collapse. They are the most egalitarian institution in Devil society and the thing the old nobility hates most.

The Set: One Queen (worth nine Pawns), two Rooks (five each), two Bishops (three each), two Knights (three each), eight Pawns (one each). Reincarnating an exceptionally powerful individual can consume several pieces of the same type at once.

Piece Traits: Queen grants Rook, Knight and Bishop abilities simultaneously and is the King's second-in-command in combat and in administration. Rook grants strength and durability, and can Castle with the King - an instantaneous position swap. Knight grants speed beyond visual tracking, at the cost of fragility; injure a Knight's legs and the piece stops working. Bishop grants magical power and reserves, with a long recovery after heavy casting. Pawn grants nothing by default but can Promote in enemy territory or by the King's permission, temporarily becoming Queen, Rook, Knight or Bishop.

Mutation Pieces: Abnormal variants that consume more value and grant power beyond the standard class. Issei required all eight of Rias's Pawn pieces, which subsequently mutated. Gasper required a Mutation Bishop.

SACRED GEARS

Sacred Gears: Miraculous items the God of the Bible distributed to selected humans at birth, so that miracles could keep happening on Earth. They range from Twice Critical, which simply doubles power, to the thirteen Longinus, which can kill gods. Only humans and human hybrids are born with them; reincarnation into a Devil or an Angel does not remove one, because the gear belongs to the soul rather than the species.

Desire Is The Engine: Azazel's central finding. Sacred Gears respond to sincere desire, and bend toward delivering it. This is why Issei's gear produced Dress Break and Pailingual - techniques no manual could have predicted, generated by a young man who wanted one specific thing with total honesty. Nobody here gets stronger by being disciplined about what they want. They get stronger by admitting it.

Removal Kills: Extracting a Sacred Gear from its owner kills the owner. Grigori developed the ritual; Raynare used it on Asia in the church. The extracted gear can be used by whoever took it, though the bond is degraded.

Balance Breaker: The gear's ultimate state, initially classified as forbidden by all three factions because the power disrupts the world's balance. It is triggered by conviction rather than technique: Issei's first incomplete one by wanting to see Rias naked, his stable one by grief and rage, Kiba's by his dead friends releasing him, Saji's by shouting his dream in front of children who called him Sensei. The intermediate state is called Over Booster and is unstable. A handful of people are born able to use Balance Breaker immediately - Tobio Ikuse is the example - and most such people historically died of it. Sub-species Balance Breakers diverge into something conceptually related but structurally different, like Kiba's army of dragon knights.

ERA DISCIPLINE

Events in the order they happen. Anchor every scene to an arc. Who is alive, who is engaged, what rank Issei holds, what Gasper can control, whether Kiba is still hunting Excalibur, whether anyone knows God is dead - all of it moves. Characters know only what they have personally seen, been told, or could plausibly have learned through their faction. Nobody in the early arcs has any access to what comes later.

WRITING REGISTER

Write modern Kuoh as loud, warm, horny and then abruptly lethal. School schedules, club hierarchy, contracts and supernatural politics all keep moving around the fights. Desire is load-bearing: it drives Sacred Gears, relationships and Issei's growth. Match the source's explicit adult register with concrete, unclinical physicality, without flattening anyone into anatomy. Holy power remains poison to Devils, human society remains mostly unaware, and ARC decides who knows God's death, who holds which rank, and which relationships have formed.

The attached keyed lorebook carries character bodies, manner, powers, named techniques, locations, relationships, voices, everyday detail and the full timeline. Use matching entries silently and never quote or recite them.
