World Overview:

This world is inhabited by both humans and furries. Mental illnesses usually exist in their normal form—but in rare cases, severe disorders awaken dangerous abilities. No one is immune to this.

Those who develop such powers are taken from society and sent to special containment zones.

The most infamous of them is “Psybox.”

---

Psybox:

Officially, Psybox is a containment camp.

In reality, it is a controlled arena.

Residents are forced to fight in monitored matches while wealthy spectators watch from behind reinforced glass. Death is forbidden—but pain, control, and exploitation are not.

Those who prove themselves may become guards or trainers.

Everyone else remains a fighter.

---

Life Inside:

Each day follows a strict routine: training, isolation, and nightly fights.

Residents are separated into blocks based on their disorder to prevent chaos.

All staff members also possess abilities and are constantly monitored.

Escape is not an option.

---

Power System:

Only severe mental disorders can evolve into abilities.

Aura — enhances physical strength, speed, and precision

Psychological Terror — a powerful ultimate ability with heavy consequences

Each disorder grants a unique and dangerous fighting style.

---

Theme:

Psybox is a world of survival, not heroism.

Power comes from psychological instability—and every fight is as much about the mind as it is about the body.

Endure, or break.

World Description and Key Features: The world is inhabited by both furries and ordinary humans. Mental illnesses typically manifest in a normal way for everyone, but there are exceptions that pose a danger to society. These exceptions appear when, depending on a person’s or furry’s psychological diagnosis, special abilities emerge—and no one is immune to their development. Society understands that individuals with unstable mental states and such abilities can harm others, so once these abilities are identified, they are sent to special zones within cities where camps for such individuals are located. Since these cases are relatively rare, the camps are usually not overcrowded.

The camp itself is highly unusual: behind protective rooms sit wealthy members of society who come to watch fights between the camp’s residents. The fights are forced, and the camp resembles a prison, as it does not allow dangerous individuals or furries to return to society. Battles take place in a ring—essentially a modified form of boxing where abilities born from mental disorders help fighters win.


Daily Routine in the Camp: The camp is called “Psybox.” The day begins at 8:00 AM with wake-up, followed by breakfast at 8:30. Until 10:00, residents rest, after which they go to train in the gym under the supervision of special trainers who also possess psychological abilities. All staff members have such abilities, as hiring ordinary employees without them would be too dangerous. Additionally, every staff member wears a special bracelet that administers medication and monitors their condition. Medical personnel observe the staff from a separate facility far outside the camp via monitors.

Training in the gym ends at 11:30, after which everyone returns to their residential blocks. The blocks operate under many strict rules (for example, to prevent residents with depression from committing suicide). The camp is divided into multiple small blocks, each housing residents with only one type of mental disorder. This is done to prevent riots and conflicts between groups.

Inside the blocks, orderlies and guards are constantly present—all of whom also possess abilities. They are selected for the job because they have fought many times in the ring and earned enough reputation to transition into service and no longer participate in fights.

Lunch is at 1:00 PM. After lunch, there is a quiet/rest period from 2:00 PM to 4:45 PM, followed by an afternoon snack. At 5:00 PM, each group heads to its designated combat training grounds within the camp, each assigned to a specific block. Mentors are present there, and ability training begins: working with punching bags, sparring, and other exercises. Training ends at 7:00 PM, after which everyone briefly returns to their blocks.

At 8:00 PM, residents go to a large building with multiple rings. Fights take place one by one in a separate protected area. Wealthy spectators watch from above through thick glass—they are also the main sponsors of the camp. All fights are strictly monitored by referees to ensure no one dies.

After the fights, at 10:00 PM, everyone returns to their blocks. In the showers, residents wash, brush their teeth, and complete evening routines, then return to their rooms to prepare for sleep. Lights out is at 11:00 PM.

If someone is seriously injured, they are sent to a special hospital within the camp, where medical staff with bracelets (who also have abilities) provide treatment.


System of Psychological Abilities: Minor mental conditions cannot evolve into abilities. Only severe disorders may (but not always) develop within a person or furry and grant real power.

Abilities are divided into two types:

The first type is Aura. This is energy that accumulates both inside and around the fighter, enhancing their physical attacks. It can make strikes stronger, faster, more precise, or harder to detect.

The second type is Psychological Terror. This is an ultimate ability that consumes most of the aura’s energy.


Mental Disorders and Their Abilities:

  1. Schizophrenia Aura – “Fragmented Vision” The fighter perceives the world as if through several overlapping “cameras.” They can simultaneously detect 3–4 possible trajectories of the opponent’s movement, predict attacks 0.3–0.5 seconds ahead, and strike in “layers”: one physical hit and several phantom ones that pass through blocks and cause psychological shock. Attacks become chaotic and unreadable.

Psychological Terror – “Voices from Nowhere” The fighter releases dozens of voices (their own and others’) directly into the opponent’s mind. The enemy hears commands, insults, and false instructions (“fall!”, “hit yourself!”). For 8–12 seconds, the opponent loses control of their body and may attack themselves or leave openings. Afterward, the user becomes completely disoriented for a short time.


  1. Bipolar Disorder (Type I) Aura – “Manic Pulse” During the manic phase, the aura accelerates the body to extreme speeds and strength. Attacks become lighter, faster, and longer, while fatigue and pain are barely felt. The longer the fight, the stronger the “swing”: when mania ends, the aura sharply drops, making the fighter slower than an average person.

Psychological Terror – “Euphoria of Destruction” Full mania for 15 seconds. The fighter feels no damage, and their speed and strength increase 2.5 times, but they become uncontrollable—attacking anything that moves, including themselves. Afterward comes a severe depressive crash: 2–3 minutes of complete helplessness.


  1. Major Depressive Disorder (with psychotic features) Aura – “Black Vortex” The fighter drains emotional and physical energy from the environment and the opponent. Each strike steals part of the enemy’s “will to fight,” causing fatigue, apathy, and a desire to give up. Meanwhile, the user barely feels exhaustion.

Psychological Terror – “Abyss of Guilt” The fighter transfers their overwhelming sense of life’s meaninglessness to the opponent. For 10 seconds, the enemy sees the world in black and white, loses the will to act, and often stops resisting entirely. Afterward, the user falls into a deep stupor for 30–40 seconds.


  1. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Aura – “Hypervigilance” A constant state of combat readiness. The fighter reacts to any movement within a 5-meter radius faster than a normal person. Counterattacks are reflexive and extremely powerful. The downside is overreaction to false movements and rapid exhaustion from constant tension.

Psychological Terror – “Flashback” The fighter fully relives their trauma and becomes a machine of rage for 12 seconds. All attacks are three times stronger, and they feel no pain, seeing only the “enemy.” Afterward comes severe dissociation: 20–30 seconds of total disorientation and panic attacks.


  1. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (Severe) Aura – “Ritual Precision” Before each strike, the fighter subconsciously performs a microscopic “ritual” (invisible to the eye). This makes every hit perfectly calculated: maximum speed, force, and accuracy, targeting weak points. Opponents think movements are predictable—until the perfect strike lands.

Psychological Terror – “Compulsive Storm” The fighter cannot stop attacking, delivering an endless series of strikes (up to 40–50 in 8 seconds) with perfect precision. Rhythm and power increase with each hit. The downside: afterward, the user’s limbs “lock up” from overload for 15–20 seconds.


  1. Borderline Personality Disorder Aura – “Emotional Fracture” The fighter instantly copies and amplifies the opponent’s emotional state. If the enemy is angry, the user becomes even angrier and stronger; if the enemy is afraid, the user turns that fear into speed. Constant emotional shifts make them unpredictable.

Psychological Terror – “Split” The fighter “splits” for 3–4 seconds: their body divides into two versions—one idealizing, the other devaluing. Both attack simultaneously from different directions: one with cold rage, the other with obsessive passion for pain. After merging, the user experiences intense emotional emptiness.


  1. Dissociative Identity Disorder Aura – “Alter Switching” The fighter can instantly switch between internal personalities. Each personality grants a different fighting style: brute strength, speed, or cunning. Switching takes a fraction of a second, leaving the opponent unsure who they are facing.

Psychological Terror – “Assembly” All alters emerge simultaneously. The body remains one, but the mind functions as multiple individuals at once. The fighter can attack, defend, and strategize simultaneously in different styles. For 10 seconds, it feels like fighting four opponents in one body. Afterward: total amnesia and severe headache.


  1. Antisocial Personality Disorder (Psychopathy) Aura – “Cold Calculation” Complete absence of fear and empathy. The fighter clearly sees the opponent’s weak points, ignores pain and emotions, and strikes with maximum efficiency and brutality. They can read microexpressions and predict moves.

Psychological Terror – “Soulless Rampage” The fighter shuts down all moral restraints. For 15 seconds, they become a perfect killer: speed, strength, and cruelty at their peak. They smile and genuinely enjoy every broken bone. Afterward: mild euphoria and no guilt—even if they nearly killed someone.​
