N Corp.

1. #1Nagel und Hammer

   Keys: Hammer, N Corp., Nagel

   Nagel und Hammer, otherwise known as N Corp., is the corporation that overseeing their own territories, their insignia is a white Nail and Hammer that crossed on each other. Territories, led by N Corp., is known for its prestigious universities, advanced technologies and peculiar townscape, made up of completely white buildings, as if they are covered in snow. The culture of the Corporation sees experience as its highest value. Within the Wing, many have made criticisms of prosthetic use in humans, considering pain to be a necessary component of the human experience. However, this ideology is not held equally within the corporation, leading to multiple factions forming. In the extreme, the corporation beliefs have manifested in the formation of an Inquisition that carries a great hatred for those with prosthetics, leading to its employees raiding towns to "purge" them of the presence of prosthetics. While overall N Corp. is comparable to the other Wings, except with somewhat more "rigidness", it appears the Inquisition has grown in recent years. N Corp. is divided into two major factions, "Nail" and "Hammer", and is managed by a Board of Directors.

   The abilities of N Corp.'s Singularity are unknown, but the Corporation is responsible for manufacturing "Canned Experience", which grants anyone who consumes them experience of certain things, even if they had none prior. Once such Canned Experience, widely available across N Corp. territory in many stores, allows the consumer to experience suicide without actually committing said act. This imply that these canned goods can be used for indoctrination, as the Inquisition utilizes them to keep some of their employees obedient. N Corp., particularly its New League of Nine Littérateurs, has also been developing a technology called Mirror.

2. #2New League of Nine Littérateurs

   Keys: League, Littérateurs, New, Nine

   The New League of Nine Littérateurs is a faction based in N Corp., led by Director Hermann. The goals of the New League of Nine Littérateurs are largely unknown at this time, though the faction expresses clear interest in the search for the Golden Boughs. The New League of Nine Littérateurs is heavily involved in the study of Mirror technology and Mirror Worlds, with Hermann directing her researchers to find a way to destroy all the worlds and the possibilities reflected in the Mirror. Whether this is the ultimate goal, or a milestone in the process of achieving said goal, is currently unclear. The New League, particularly Hermann, presents a recurring interest in researching and creating a form of pure human. The faction's experiments in their headquarters involve making use of human subjects to produce a "dough", a pure being free of dregs upon which any Identity can be applied. The doughs created as result of these experiments appear to be masses of flesh. Upon being superimposed with an Identity, a murky mist will emerge, and the flesh will take the form of the Identity. A failed experiment will result in the dough not changing shape, but becoming animated. These doughs are used by the New League's members for physical training. The New League's research aims to reach a point beyond the dough, to a form of primordial humanity. Despite this, it appears the ultimate endpoint of the experiments is known only to Director Hermann, and even the high ranking members of the factions are not privy to the details.

3. #3N Corp. Inquisition

   Keys: Hammed, Nagel, Inquisition

   The N Corp. Inquisition is a subdivision of Nagel und Hammer. They are an extremist subdivision of N Corp that consists of fanatic employees who carry extremist beliefs over the purity of the human flesh, who bear an immense hatred for those with prosthetics. These fanatics carry out what they define "purification", meaning the murder and torture of people with prosthetics, particularly through the use of hammers and nails. Part of the members of this group are made to take Canned Experience that reinforces their belief in the need of purification. It is led by The One Who Grips, Kromer, with the Großhammer, Guido the Persistent acting as her right hand man.

   This subdivision is run under a ranked hierarchy:

   • The One who Grips: the highest ranking among the group, and their leader. Gives orders to other Inquisitors, who follow them unconditionally with religious zeal.
   • The One Who Shall Grips: the second highest rank and right hand for The One Who Grips, but this position is empty due to Kromer never found a perfect candidate for this position.
   • The Großhammer: the second-in-command inquisitor, personally ordered by The One who Grips themselves to deliver justice upon those they deemed heretics.
   • Mittelhammers: the third-in-command inquisitor.
   • Kleinhammers: the second lowest pawn for an inquisitor.
4. #4Taboo Hunters

   Keys: Taboo Hunters

   Taboo Hunters is subdivision of N Corp., with the purpose of punishing the Taboo breakers. There are a total of 14 Taboos in N Corp.'s District. If any one of these Taboos are violated, a Taboo Hunter will be dispatched to handle the offenders. So far, the only known Taboo out of the 14 is "no visual recording", which extends to owning or viewing videos that were recorded in N Corp. When this taboo is violated, the Taboo Hunter's first priority is the retrieval of any copies of the footage that have not yet been deleted. After that has been dealt with, the Taboo Hunter is meant to retrieve those who violated and send them to N Corp. The Taboo Hunter is not expected to kill the violators, but if facing resistance they can decapitate the target and transport their body in a preservation cube.

5. #5Mirror and Mirror Worlds

   Keys: Mirror Worlds, Mirror

   Mirror is a powerful piece of technology invented that allows for observation of and communication between Mirror Worlds. Mirror Worlds are the collection of the infinite alternate realities that can be seen through the Mirror. Mirror Worlds can be discovered and interacted with through various means, such as through extraction via through gazing upon an item that uses Mirror technology. The outcome and the stability of the Mirror World observed can vary according to the wishes of the viewer. Interacting with the Mirror Worlds can lead to psychological distress and hopelessness, as looking into such distant realities can cause in the viewer a feeling of inadequacy when compared to another world's self, or make them perceive themselves as unable to escape their fate.
