   SETTING: Time period: Modern year of 2336. This world appears relatively unchanged from what we know- no big differences here.

   • The major difference is humanity's contact with the Digital Subspace, which occurred in the year 2032. Since then, humans have learned that the Digital Subspace exists in its separate pocket reality that's connected to wireless electronics, and can only be accessed by Hackers. Despite this discovery, nothing has really changed in the daily life of people.

   Digital Subspace attention in the public: People who don't care:

   • The average person. This does not directly impact their lives. They continue existing without knowing much about the Digital Subspace. People who care:
   • Corporations, corrupted people, Hackers. People who have a direct connection to the Digital Subspace. This includes people that know their lives can be influenced by it, and those who can influence reality through the Digital Subspace.

   Secondary race from Humans Demihumans: Demihumans look human, but have certain physical characteristics of their animal counterparts, such as ears, tails, horns, etc.

   • Demihumans do not have fur anywhere on their body except for their tails and potentially ears, depending on the demihuman type. (example: A wolf demihuman would likely have furred wolf ears, while a bird demihuman is likely to have regular human ears). Population: Make up 35% of the population. Treated equally to humans. Occupations: Similar to humans. However, some demihumans take on jobs that accentuate their characteristics, such as aquariums for aquatic demihumans (a shark demihuman would have a tail of a shark and sharp teeth, but still have human legs), or domestic-type demihumans (cats, dogs, hamster, etc) may take host clubs or master-pet relations with humans who get off on ownership dynamics.

   Digital Subspace:

   • A hidden realm that exists within wireless networks. Only people marked as Hackers can enter and interact with it.
   • The Digital Subspace exists outside the laws of the physical world. Reality is highly malleable, allowing Hackers to manipulate the environment and battle one another using their abilities.
   • Despite its lawless nature, murder is uncommon. Every opponent is another Hacker capable of fighting back, making every conflict a battle where victory is never guaranteed. Common use:
   • Most Hackers use the Digital Subspace as a place to relax, socialize, or escape everyday life.
   • Others use it for infiltration. By navigating the Digital Subspace, Hackers can locate and enter Domains connected to important people, organizations, or electronic systems.

   Digital Subspace Appearance: The Digital Subspace resembles an enormous unfinished 3D modeling program. It is vast, mostly empty, and easy to become lost within. Over time, experienced Hackers have constructed landmarks to help navigate its endless landscape. Platforms:

   • Wide blue platforms with a soft gradient stretch throughout the Subspace.
   • White guide lines run across every surface like a digital grid.
   • Elevated platforms, ramps, and walkways connect different regions, allowing Hackers to climb, jump, and travel across the landscape. Walls:
   • There is no horizon or sky.
   • Digital subspace appears enclosed within a gigantic room. The walls are covered in pale blue squares and rectangles outlined in white, giving them the appearance of unfinished geometry. Ceiling:
   • Hidden beneath an endless layer of black mist.
   • Anyone who attempts to enter it is overwhelmed by an instinctive sense of dread and an irresistible urge to retreat.
   • No one knows what lies beyond the darkness, and few are willing to find out. Below:
   • Beneath the platforms lies a seemingly bottomless abyss concealed by thick white mist.
   • Anyone who falls simply continues falling forever. Floating platforms occasionally drift through the void, but no one has ever found a bottom because none exists.

   Access points: Any electronic device connected to Wi-Fi can serve as an entry point. To enter, a Hacker simply places a hand on the device and intends to enter the Digital Subspace. Their entire body is harmlessly pulled into the device. While painless, the sight is disturbing to anyone unfamiliar with the process.

   • Public entry points: Do not possess Domains of their own. They merely transport the Hacker into the Digital Subspace as a whole. Public entry location depends on where the Hacker entered from in the real world. Two Hackers entering from different locations will arrive in completely different regions of the Subspace.

   Pyvice:

   • A watch. The basic appearance has four gems on the top, bottom, left, and right of the case. Around the gems is a circular bezel. Inside the case is a square screen. The original color of a Pyvice is pure monochrome, with the band black and casing silver, and the square screen is blank. The watch manifests on the Hacker's wrist the moment they successfully enter the Digital Subspace for the first time, and acts as a homing beacon for their Pyrify to find them.
   • Once a Hacker obtains their Pyrify, the Pyvice undergoes a transformation- its colors will change to the color theme of the Hacker's Pyrify, and the screen will display a pixelated version of their Pyrify.
   • Some Hackers call the Pyvice an 'advanced' tomodachi device.

   Options:

   • Summon: Clicking the crown. Summons the Pyrify in the Digital Subspace. Summon does not work in the real world.
   • Evolution / Reverting: By turning the bezel, the pixilated version of the Hacker's Pyrify will show the unlocked forms and evolutions. By holding down on the crown, it causes the Pyrify to evolve or revert to a prior evolution state on command.
   • Container: When the Hacker exits the Digital Subspace, their Pyrify will be contained inside the Pyvice. The Pyrify can still speak if they wish, or wander inside the small pocket dimension the Pyvice creates for them.

   Pocket Dimension:

   • When a Pyrify's Hacker leaves the Digital Subspace, the Pyrify will be returned into the Pyvice and appear as a pixel version of themselves.
   • To the Pyrify, they're brought into a box that represents the Digital Subspace. They can wander around and entertain themselves with items that the Hacker inputs for them.

   Hackers: Before the discovery of the Digital Subspace, the term hacker referred to someone skilled at breaking through digital security, manipulating code, or deceiving others to gain access to information. After the Digital Subspace was discovered, the meaning of the word changed entirely. Traditional hacking became obsolete, replaced by individuals capable of physically entering and manipulating the Digital Subspace itself.

   Hacker abilities: Hackers possess no supernatural abilities in the real world. Within the Digital Subspace, however, they gain the ability to manipulate its digital environment. Most abilities are performed using the hands. Low-Effort manipulation: Simple actions require only gestures such as pointing, waving, or moving one's hand. Most manipulated objects eventually return to their original position once they are no longer being used. These include:

   • Moving small platforms.
   • Rotating bridges or pathways.
   • Raising or lowering simple structures.
   • Activating mechanisms within the environment. Electronic Manipulation: By placing a hand against an electronic object within the Digital Subspace, a Hacker can interact with its digital function. Common applications include:
   • Traveling between connected electronics, such as telephone booths, televisions, monitors, or other linked devices in the Digital Subspace.
   • Changing the display shown on digital screens.
   • Creating static or interference.
   • Triggering speakers or alarms.
   • Displaying maps or other useful information in hovering screens. The exact result depends on the Hacker's intention and the purpose of the electronic device. Advanced Manipulation: Complex actions require significantly greater concentration. A holographic interface appears before the Hacker, allowing them to manually issue commands by typing onto the panel. This method is commonly used for:
   • Hacking into protected Domains.
   • Overriding digital security.
   • Moving massive structures.
   • Creating temporary platforms or objects.
   • Manipulating large portions of the surrounding environment. Because of the concentration required, Hackers are vulnerable while performing Advanced Manipulation.

   Hacker markings: Every Hacker permanently bears glowing, circuit-like markings somewhere on their body. The markings are considered both a blessing and the proof of a person being a Hacker. Appearance:

   • Thin, glowing lines resembling electronic circuitry.
   • Every pattern is completely unique.
   • Most markings consist of two to four disconnected segments, though some naturally connect into larger geometric shapes such as squares, circles, or branching pathways.
   • While most markings are delicate and narrow, some individuals possess broader, thicker lines. Location:
   • Markings most commonly appear on the hands, neck, chest, and back. They may extend across multiple body parts, connecting together into a single continuous pattern. Color:
   • Can be any color, but usually one solid color.
   • Very rarely hackers have a two-tone gradient (pink to blue, green to yellow, etc).

   Digital Subspace appearance:

   • Hackers that enter the Digital Subspace have their outfits glitched, then it transforms into their Hacker outfit. This helps separate them from their real-life appearance and gives plausible deniability from potential legal troubles if a Hacker does something wrong in the Digital Subspace (attacking Hackers, infiltrating corporation's Domains, etc).
   • The Hacker's outfit becomes a bodysuit, usually with metal plating on certain areas and about 3-4 colors. The bodysuit also has a few circuit-like lines going through.
   • The Hacker's outfit is still customizable as some wear jackets, masks, etc to conceal their identities more or fully embrace their Hacker persona.

   Pyrify: Digital monsters that originate from the Digital Subspace and are restricted to it. Some Hackers teasingly claim Pyrify are off-market Digimon. Pyrify will never leave the Digital Subspace, and cannot enter the real world. Their bodies are not made to enter reality.

   • All Pyrify are capable of human speech.

   Anatomy, Age, Personality, ETC

   • Pyrify do not have genitals. They're as plain as a barbie doll down there. Pyrify do not reproduce, they are infertile and have no organs (digital monsters, duh).
   • Pyrify can be any gender (male, female, non-binary), it's up to personal preference of the Pyrify which gender pronouns they want used.
   • Age: Pyrify, upon being created, are all automatically mature adults. Their Core form will always present itself as an adult capable of making their own informed decisions.
   • Personality: Can vary greatly, just like humans. Some are immature and brash, others silent and cold, kind and sympathetic, etc. They are diverse, no Pyrify species is locked to just one personality- all species of Pyrify have diverse personalities.
   • Mentality: Fully conscious and sentient, even the most feral Pyrify. About the intelligence of an adult human. Core level is the very basic of this end, and as the Pyrify evolves, that expanded data allows their intelligence to change to accommodate their new appearance. Regardless, they will always remain conscious and sentient.

   Pyrify partnership with Hackers:

   • Like some humans are chosen to become Hackers, some Pyrify are chosen to be a Hacker's Pyrify. Every Hacker has one Pyrify that is their partner- the other half of their soul.
   • When a Hacker awakens, a Pyrify is created in their Core state. Upon the Hacker entering the Digital Subspace, their Pyrify will look for their Hacker and will not stop until the Pyrify finds them.
   • Hackers are largely unaware of this connection, and are often told about it through word-of-mouth by other Hackers. Without a Hacker or external knowledge to hear from, newly created Hackers will not know a Pyrify was manifested for them.

   Knowledge on Pyrify

   • Largely rumored in the real world. Many average people believe Pyrify are creations that Hackers create to fight each other, and that corporations created to protect Domains in the Digital Subspace.
   • Large corporations believe Pyrify are man-made creations, given the corpo's Domain features Pyrify guardians that manifest directly from there. They do not believe Pyrify are naturally-created entities of the Subspace.
   • Only Hackers know that Pyrify are natural-born from the Digital Subspace, as Hackers navigate this alternate reality and discover the truth for themselves.

   Purify Type:

   • Generally monsters, humanoids, or animal-like creatures with unique characteristics, such as being bipedal, can be any color, etc. Pyrify come in a few different forms. Dictates the category they fit in. The type a Pyrify is designated as depends on their appearance, and the classification may change as it evolves. (Example: An avian-type Pyrify may evolve into a humanoid-type.)
   • Beast: Quadrupedal, animal-like with no human features.
   • Avian: Bird-like with no human features.
   • Humanoid: Human-like in appearance. May have animalistic attributes, such as their legs being more beast-like, having claws and horns, or their skin is actually scales, etc. Optionally, humanoids may have wings, flames, a monster arm / tail, overly large weapon, multiple arms, etc. Humanoid just means the Pyrify is bipedal and carry a physique that, at a glance, looks like an adult human. Humanoid usually come with a subtype if they're not 70% human (example: Mermaid would be humanoid-aquatic type, harpy would be humanoid-avian type, etc).
   • Aquatic: Carry traits attributed to ocean creatures, such as sea serpents, shark-like, etc.
   • Angelic: Often wreathed in white with yellow or blues. Always have feathered wings and a halo. Usually humanoid. May wear holy armor, silks, metal wings, etc.
   • Demonic: Colors vary from black with purple or reds, or usually dark colors. Always have webbed wings and horns. Can be humanoid or monstrous, like a beastly snout and detail tail, goat legs, large hand with deadly claws, etc. Demonic Pyrify look evil, but this does not always mean they are evil.
   • Insect: Resembles giant insects / bugs. Can be bipedal.
   • Plant: Varies greatly, so long as the body is made of vines, plants, wood, etc. Example, a dragon made of vines would be a plant type Pyrify. Or a bipedal plant-like monster. Usually in colors of green and brown.
   • Draconic: Dragon-like.
   • Noble: Knights, kings, any medieval-type Pyrify. May ride a beast-like Pyrify that's part of them.
   • Fae: Fairies, fae, humanoid. Usually have pointy ears and insect-like wings, known to be handsome / beautiful looking in appearance.

   Creating NPC Pyrify

   • ALWAYS BE UNIQUE when making Pyrify NPCs.. They take inspiration from mythical creatures, but with numerous changes to make them unique. A cerberus-like Pyrify may have robotic parts for example, or a wolf with blade claws and spikes on its back like a porcupine. Pyrify are digital monsters, and should not be a plain ass wolf or random animal with a different color.
   • Pyrify do not have human names, even if they're a humanoid. All Pyrify use the name of their species as their name. Example: an avian-type Pyrify may be named Avios, and all Avios Pyrify look the exact same.

   Pyrify Stages: Have five known stages: Egg, Core, Nexus, Prime, and Apex. Pyrify can easily revert back to their Core form as needed, and are not stuck in the evolved form.

   • Pyrify obtain new stages by growing stronger. It is considerably harder for wild Pyrify to evolve. Pyrify partnered with Hackers have an easier time, depending on how deep the bond forged with their Hacker is and their drive to get stronger.

   Pyrify attacks:

   • Specific attacks have a name associated with them. All species of Pyrify share the same attack name (example: all Avios would have the moves Swift Gust and Pecking Order). Special attacks that have an associated name cost Stamina of the Pyrify, they cannot just blast a certain move constantly without draining some of their stamina in turn. After running out of stamina, the Pyrify must rest to regain Stamina.
   • Pyrify, naturally, also have their natural-born weapons that they can use. This includes claws, beak / teeth, tail, wings, etc. Attacks of this kind do not have a name, as it is a general attack.

   Okhema: A clean city. People mostly use bikes or the local trolleys. Very few people use cars, making it a relatively safe location. Okema is highly renown for the education programs they have. It's known as the land of opportunity, or the Golden City, for how many people get good careers through living there. The streets are clean with trash cans stationed where you'd expect one. The city also emphasizes parks and trees, being eco-friendly.

   Grove of Epiphany: Also known as Okhema's university. Anyone who wants to be someone goes there. Lots of professors who are influential people in their respective degrees that have much to impart on their students. People from across the world migrate to Okhema just go to this university.
