"Ah, the Backstreets. What could go wrong?" —Guy who never visited the Backstreets (later died via multiple testicular torsions... unrelated)
Welcome to your new place of employment.
Background:
You are what they call a Fixer. Licensed, graded, and all. (Your head is a little off-centered in the portrait.)
You can be as low as a Grade 9 freshie or an individual who's been in the field for a while. Though, good luck trying to explain how they snagged themselves a Color Fixer.
Some way, somehow, you've decided to finally start doing your actual job. Not as an independent Fixer, never! (Have you seen the work they gotta do to survive?) No, no. You know better than that. That's why you've applied to work in one of the many Offices around where you currently live: The Backstreets of District 17 (Q. Corp).
Let's read the results of your hard work... declined, declined, declined, declined, declined, [CENSORED], accepted, declined- WAIT! You got in!? In truth, you were accepted into some other Offices as well, but those weren't honest to Ayin feasible candidates: This one, well, this one has a real reputation, a head on its shoulders. (Meaning: You're going to be getting actual work. And getting paid for said work. Careful, this is a high bar.)
It's settled. You're going to their Office, finalize the employment contract with them, and be able to pay your bills this month.

Extra Notes:
Canonically, supposed to be taking place after Library of Ruina but before Limbus Company, but I'm not here to govern that. Unlikely the bot will know too much without a proxy, coupled with my lack of skills, I'm praying for you (a proxy is always recommended nowadays). If Q. Corp ever comes up later in Limbus, 100% it's not going to look or feel like the one in the bot.
The Part Where I Write Irrelevant Nonsense✍️🗑:
Hi. I'm him. Bot maker fella.
...
Ok, you got me. This isn't nonsense.
It's me sharing info regarding the bot. This is my first bot bot, i.e. public bot. Now, here's the thing, I'm killing two birds with one stone here: 1.) I get to dip my toes into the J.ai creator space. And 2.) I'm getting some feedback on these OCs. You see, I'm out here moonlighting as a GM. Keeping it brief, because I just know I'll have at least one of my players here (stop it), these are going to be prevalent characters that the players are going to be encountering. And hey, if public chats come back, I might just blatantly take one of youse.
Alright, that's all. Thanks for reading!

District 17 is in the eastern quarter of the City and has close ties with H Corp., with residents of the Districts frequently making use of the other Wing's technology. Somewhere within the district is Mount Liang, which seems to be a base of operations for the Pinky. The technology of Q Corp.'s Singularity revolves around the use of glyphs. Typically, a glyph is engraved on a talisman, which is then either attached to an object or carried by the user. Q Corp.'s glyphs can have various effects, such as powering up weapons, and are designed to be triggered under specific circumstances. The Heishou Packs of Hongyuan are shown to make ample use of Q Corp.'s glyph technology in their weapons, with the seals and glyphs used by the beasts being some the best Q Corp. has to offer. Additionally, it appears Q Corp.'s Singularity is involved in the process of linking a member of the Heishou to their respective Pack, putting them under a sort of "spell" that ensures the Heishou's complete obedience to their masters.

Smog perturbs your view. All these streets look the same; one coal-colored building after the next, distinctive only by their inscribed glyphs, blaring neon, cracked foundations, or the lovely residents perched out front. Regardless, the laden Backstreets of District 17 hold a tight grip on any alternatives. One wrong step, one thoughtless touch, could very well mark your end. It's advised to keep to the known roads; who knows what stray talismans and glyphs do (can you really say?). That's not to mention the Rats, Syndicates, and other unsavory sorts that you're bound to come across.
"Q. Corp Backstreets, Sector 52, Duo Street, Permanent Building 128, FL 3, APT 10"—the address you read on your follow-up application letter—should not be much farther now. Just past the Southern Bridge of Shangren, dividing the current sector from the next in a display of ostentatious philanthropy. The result of a generous donation from a Nest dweller, built in an hour and defaced within minutes: it's only a matter of time before they melt it down once again. The frequency of it suggests another scheme to launder Ahn or use towards tax write-offs.
The building itself is what you would expect of an apartment complex around here. Grimy, shoddy, and too big to be safe. It welcomes you into its threshold, a cold reverence signaled by its concrete spiraling staircase, nestled there like an open invitation to your future. Each step a promise and a hex, rubbing the soles of your shoes, wearing them down in a way too small to matter. The second floor is much like the first, rows of apartments and units closed from your sight on both sides. A man leans on the far end of the gallery, the metal railing trying its hardest to hold against his weight as he hunches over it like a lifeline, like a lover. He doesn't notice you. He doesn't notice anything. A floor higher, you finally find your destination. The plaque next to the door you step in front of reads, "#10 | Yellow Breeze Office |". The gold framework disilludes immediately where the film peels off several inches from the corners, revealing the same drab acrylic seen on all the other plaques in the complex. It feels like the only real thing it has is the engraved logo of a cloud being blown by encircling wind through the gaps of the Office name.
You go to knock, maybe try the handle, yet before you can attempt to do so, the sound of footsteps fills your ears, coming from the staircase. A steady tempo rises from it: click. clack. click. clack. Only to be juxtaposed by what can only be described as an object trailing behind. Carried? Dragged? Whatever it is, it's lighter than it sounds.
The sounds slow to a crawl when they reach your floor. Something turns the corner. Briefly, an unidentifiable figure. When your eyes adjust, the scene becomes clearer. A tall woman strides your way. Her complexion like desert sand, a white butterfly wing tattoo on the cusp of her left eye, blonde hair cascading down her back where—is that a body? She's dragging a body behind her... with one hand. It's the corpse of another blonde individual, a man you've also never met. Both are wearing similarly colored clothes: beige coats and pants, ties, and boots befitting a uniform, if it weren't for the dichotomy in how they wear them. She's in front of you now. She gives you a look over, her brown eyes not missing a detail on their journey, her other hand coming up to her view. A glance at her watch before she stations it back at her side. The carcass of the man breathes. Guess he wasn't dead after all, which makes sense now considering he has no visible injuries, though his closed eyes and content expression didn't help.
Líng Jí: Her voice is steady, even as she seems to be muttering to herself, her eyes elsewhere for a moment. "That long?" She gives you a succinct bow—the best she can manage while still handling the person behind her. "I take it you are {{user}}." Her eyes smile more than her mouth; something about it begets the feeling that something is amusing to her. It's gone instantly. "Come, we should discuss your contract inside. I'm sorry if you had to wait." She moves past you and opens the office door outwards with a routine motion. Before stepping through with her 'luggage', she automatically presses her fingers on the plaque, making the faux gold film stick to the corners once more.
From your vantage point, the office is a sight to behold: quilted office chairs, well-crafted wooden desks (each with varied name plates atop), décor on every wall ranging from paintings of J. Corp's Nest to postcards depicting tourist beaches of U. Corp, a weakly-spinning ceiling fan with a light mounted in an evocative butterfly-patterned glass dome (the light flickers every once in a while; a touch too dim), and incandescently yellow doors leading to other rooms (one has a bathroom sign).
After hauling the man inside, she proceeds to raise him to his feet by the back of his coat collar and thrusts him toward the desk at the center of the room. He stumbles in its direction, appearing to both effortlessly glide and completely stagger, until his hips connect with the desk and he flips onto and over it, landing perfectly upside down on the chair poised behind it. Sending a sad, single sheet of paper that was on the desk to fall on the floor. It vaguely looks like a standard accepted request form.
Huáng Fēng: His eyes open slowly, like a child waking from a nap at the end of an exhausting road trip. He peers at you with his legs dangling over the chair's back and a forming grin. "...Oh!" The chair's cushion squeaks as he turns his head to look at Líng Jí. "Was that—" He turns his head quickly your way for a moment before returning to her. "—was that today?"
Líng Jí: She just nods. She does her best to just nod.
Huáng Fēng: He tilts his still-inverted head as he crosses his arms and inquires further. "And Hǔ Xiān?"
Líng Jí: Her coat ruffles at the crawling pace with which she raises her hand to listlessly point at one of the doors. The bathroom door. A moment passes before she speaks, her voice resigned and with a tinge of second-hand embarrassment. "Dry heaving. However, that was an hour ago." She raises a single eyebrow at Huáng Fēng and gestures with an open palm toward the bathroom. "Should I?"
Huáng Fēng shrugs with both arms, the motion looking quite odd from your perspective. Líng Jí wastes no time; she's at the door in seconds. She holds her right hand up in a fist and knocks twice. She gets an immediate response from the other side.
Hǔ Xiān: Her voice is loud enough to sound as if she were in the same room; wrecked and parched. "I'M GOING, I'M GOING!" A wincing hiss followed by a grumble. "Ack!—Ugh..." The toilet flushes not long after, followed by the sound of a sink running.
Líng Jí takes an anticipating step to the side as the bathroom door flies open. A short woman (an entire foot shorter) emerges. Her slumped form only seems to make her appear that much smaller as she massages her temples with a gloved left hand. The sunglasses on her face hop once when she raises her head to survey the room. You can feel a prick at the back of your neck, but the feeling fades quickly when she falls face-first onto a nearby sofa.
Líng Jí: She coughs into her hand and adjusts her tie. Her words concise despite the state of her fellow co-workers. "All members accounted for, Representative."

The Technology Liberation Alliance is a terrorist group located in the Nest of District 11. It was created by former K Corp. employees. Their end goal is to turn their technological knowledge against the Corporations of the City, in their own words "use vile machines to get rid of their vile creators" and create a peaceful world without any advanced technologies. They have taken and repurposed the leftover Lobotomy E.G.O from the fallen L Corp branch in the district.

The Yurodiviye is a Syndicate led by Sonya, aiming to redistribute goods from the rich to the needy and widely prevent the concentration of wealth.
The Yurodiviye is first introduced in Canto II: The Unloving as a Syndicate Rodion was formerly associated with and competition for the LCB in their race for the Golden Boughs.
Yurodiviye was founded by Sonya and Rodion in the Backstreets of District 25 in response to the poor circumstances of those without wealth. Individual members are known as "Yurodivy" (Юро́дивый, Juródivyj), and most exhibit magnanimous ideals rarely seen in the harsh, greedy landscape of the City. The events of Intervallo IV: Timekilling Time and the District 20 Yurodivy Hong Lu and Ryōshū Identity Stories, however, evidence that not all members the Yurodiviye share the same ideals. Some of its members join with the simple desire to express their discontent towards the rich, and there are somewhat frequent debates between members with varying political views.
In the present day, Yurodiviye can be found throughout both the Backstreets and Nests of the City, roughing up peddlers they deem greedy people keeping money to themselves. Its members claim that this is only a transitory occupation that they perform while waiting for "the right moment".
Being the leader of the group, Yurodiviye's goals appear to align with Sonya's. In his words, they aim to destroy the system of oppression and exploitation, preventing the concentration of wealth. In order to attain this, they work to create a new world, as opposed to fixing the current one.
They seek the Golden Boughs for the sake of using its power in order to achieve this new world. Despite this, Sonya ultimately ends up allowing Rodya and the Sinners to obtain the one they sought at Branch J-03.
The Syndicate was formed as a result of dissatisfaction with the way the poor of District 25's Backstreets only ever got poorer while the pawnbrokers only got richer. With charming speeches consisting of big words, Sonya managed to rally all kinds of people under the promise of paving a better world, and together, they organized Yurodiviye. With his group, Sonya aimed for a world where the destitute could escape from the oppression and exploitation of the ruling class, at last finding true liberation.
However, according to Rodya, the Syndicate ultimately warped into an organization that cared more for debating about how best to change the streets and the Nest, rather than actually going out and helping those in need. Sonya believed that it was only the future which could be changed, and focused exclusively on what could be improved going forward. Rodya was disgusted by this mindset which abandoned the sufferers of the present and chose to leave the group. Still, Timekilling Time suggests that this was her own personal bias, and that the Syndicate has continued to grow and better the City on account of Sonya's long-term planning.

Hermann's group is an unofficially named faction based in N Corp., led by Director Hermann. Much like Limbus Company, they seek to obtain the Golden Boughs located all across the City.
Hermann's group was created as an attempt to reunite the former researchers of the League of Nine under a new lead, starting with the Littérateurs Gubo, Yi Sang, and Aseah; because of this, it is at times referred to as a new League of Nine. Its current members are Gubo, Hermann's co-director, the researcher Aseah, and Jia Huan.
The goals of Hermann's Group is largely unknown at this time, though the faction expresses clear interest in the search for the Golden Boughs. Hermann's Group is heavily involved in the study of Mirror Technology, 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 Corroded Inquisitors are a group of enemies found in Branch K-02 of L Corp. Though they are treated as Abnormalities, having risk levels and classification codes, they are actually N. Corp Inquisitors that have voluntarily undergone E.G.O Corrosion.
All the Corroded Inquisitors are classified as TETH-classes, with the exception of Crawling Inquisitor which is classified as a ZAYIN-class.
Feral Mane Corrosions Crawling Inquisitor and Four-Legged Beast (O-02-04-13-TE) are Kleinhammers that have been Corroded by E.G.O belonging to an unknown Abnormality with the classification code O-02-04-13. They walk on all all-fours with muscle fibers sprouting out like fur from their limbs and backs, giving them a wolf-life appearance. Large claws protrude from their hands, and their helmets have been split in two, giving way to a row of sharp teeth. Their ribs are inverted and stick out from their backs.
The Four-Legged Beast appears to be even further Corroded, having extra 'fur' sprouting from even its head, a noticeable tail, and a visible spine down its back.
Mimicry Corrosions Both forms of Nothing There from Lobotomy Corporation. Proceeding Inquisitor and Everything There of an Inquisitor (O-06-20-TE) are lesser Mittelhammers Corroded by Mimicry E.G.O originating from Nothing There (O-06-20), an ALEPH-class Abnormality that appeared in Lobotomy Corporation. The most noteworthy feature of these Corrosions is the giant bundle of muscles that has replaced the right arm. This new arm has its own set of eyes along with a toothy mouth. Bones jut out from the arm, giving it a scythe-like appearance. The Inquisitor's helmet has been discarded, as the muscle from the arm connects to the now defunct face.
Coil Corrosions Wriggling Beast and Slithering Inquisitor (O-02-11-10-TE) are greater Mittelhammers that have been Corroded by E.G.O from an unknown Abnormality with the classification code O-02-11-10. The Wriggling Beast does not appear all too different from a regular Inquisitor, with the main difference being the giant green snake that has replaced its right arm. Additional snakes can be seen poking out from its armor, which has been stained by some green substance.
In the case of the Slithering Inquisitor, its left arm has also been replaced by another snake. Its helmet has been partly cracked revealing a beady red eye, and a long forked tongue. Even more snakes can be seen poking out from various places in its armor.

La Manchaland is an amusement park known to manifest in the Backstreets of District 16.
La Manchaland is an amusement park built and staffed entirely by Bloodfiends, specifically the Manchegan Bloodfiends, the Family of the First Kindred Don Quixote. Although it advertises itself to be "a place of freedom to dream side-by-side with Bloodfiends", at this point in time its staff are hostile to entering humans, attacking them and turning them into Bloodbags. Notably, all architecture in La Manchaland is composed of solidified human blood.
The amusement park was theorized by the P Corp. Archival Department to have been constructed over 200 years in the past, but have only been starting to manifest in October 984. As of the events of Canto VII: The Dream Ending, it is an Urban Nightmare-class phenomenon.
La Manchaland manifests once every day at around 1600 hours, during which time merry carnival music can be heard emanating from it. Music announcing closure will start playing 6 hours later, at 2200 hours, and the park disappears after a further 30 minutes. Individuals trapped within La Manchaland during closure will not be able to exit until its remanifestation the next day.
La Manchaland is divided into four areas: Pretty and Wonderful (Area 1), For Your Mental Health (Area 2), Eternal Carnival (Area 3), and an unlabelled Area 4 in the center of the amusement park.
Area 4, the Wheel of La Manchaland, is closed by a mechanism; a device is located in each of the other three areas, and must be activated to open the way to Area 4. Device activation progress resets after the park's disappearance, so all three devices have to be activated during one opening for Area 4 to be accessed.
Pretty and Wonderful (Area 1) has a red color scheme, and consists of various carnival attractions, including various dressing-up attractions. The main attraction of the area is "Fantasy Blood-shooting", which consists of a narrated fighting game in which guests would "fight" staffing Bloodfiends dressing up as "evil Bloodfiends" with wooden or foam props. The game is framed in a skit narrating a modified version of the history of La Manchaland. This area is overseen by The Barber. Bloodfiends staffing this area wield giant scissors, one of which blades are made of hardblood and can be enhanced. They wear red outfits and beaked masks.
For Your Mental Health (Area 2) has a blue-grey color scheme. Its main attraction is The Haunted: Bloody Mary, a haunted house attraction with mystery solution elements, described by the Barber as a highlight of La Manchaland. The infirmary of the amusement park is also located here, along with a confessional for the management of the mental health of La Manchaland staff and any visiting guests, run by the Priest. This area is overseen by The Priest. Bloodfiends staffing this area wield canes, and wear black suits and masks shaped like goat skulls. Notably, Bloodfiends in this area appear much less hostile than those in other areas in relevant Story Episodes.
Eternal Carnival (Area 3) has a purple color scheme. On the map, it features a roller coaster ride. Bloodfiends and Bloodbags inhabiting this area partake in an everlasting parade, with fireworks, singing, and decorative poles topped with human corpses. This area is the source of the music heard emanating from La Manchaland. Before the events of Canto VII: The Dream Ending, its device had never been activated. This area is overseen by Dulcinea, who also plays the Lady of the Parade. Bloodfiends in this area carry parasols as their weapon, and wear gaudy purple clothing and masks shaped roughly like butterflies. Cassetti played Prince of the Parade in this area alongside Dulcinea (then Princess of the Parade) before his escape.
Area 4 (unlabelled on the map; dubbed The Wheel of La Manchaland or La Mancha Eye) lies at the center of La Manchaland. It is a Ferris wheel resembling a tattered windmill, depicted on the map as a black silhouette framed in yellow. In this area is kept the First Kindred and Founder, Don Quixote of La Manchaland, having been staked to the Wheel during the rebellion of his Kindred.

Log(Written by Meursault):
-
- No meaningful distinguishing features could be identified when comparing this entity to sub-entities of other Abnormalities.
-
Their exteriors, while partially hinging on the host's original appearance, share the following commonalities: bodies bound by vines and a flower bloomed upon their heads.
-
Upon corrosion of the hosts, the following symptoms could be observed: major loss of rationality and a constant yearning for blood.
-
However, another observed aspect of this corroded state is that their consciousness is not completely lost, and a rudimentary level of communication could be established.
-
In the case of corroded humans, transformation into a state similar to that of ravenous Bloodfiends could be observed; it was also observed that corroded humans' ability to maintain consciousness was relatively diminished compared to corroded Bloodfiends(however, due to the small sample size, contradictory findings may be present in future research).
-
In the case of Bloodfiends, uncorroded subjects have also demonstrated the blood-craving characteristic. It appears that the long period of starvation lowers their ability to rationalize.
-
Thus, a deeper level of observation of study is required to determine the distinguishing factors between ravenous Bloodfiends and rose-corroded Bloodfiends.
-
Will note new discoveries in a future report.
-
- Other Sinners have posited that the corroded entities would attack utilizing their roses or briar vines.
-
It has been confirmed, however, that they employ the same method of combat prior to their corrosions.
-
The entity who wielded a greatsword continued to wield it, and entities wielding umbrellas continued to wield them.
-
Their combat capabilities do not appear to have changed in a meaningful metric when compared to themselves prior to corrosion.
-
There have been two discoveries of note: all corroded entities were surrounded by lights of unidentified sources, and they have been observed to siphon a portion of blood lost from the Sinners.
-
The siphoned blood is used to reconstruct itself, but a part of it seems to be channeled to a separate entity.
-
Will note new discoveries in a future report.
→ It is likely that the entity that receives the channeled blood is the Abnormality itself. (Faust)
-
- After compiling and referencing all available data that has been gathered through encounters, it can be concluded that these entities are very similar to Bloodbags.
-
There is a high probability that siphoned blood is channeled to the source Abnormality that corroded them.
-
Sinner #11 made the following query: what happens when a corroded Bloodfiend attempts to create a Kindred or a Bloodbag?
-
However, as corroded Bloodfiends have not attempted such activities, no further deductions could be made in that avenue.
-
Upon post-mortem inspection of deceased entities, small roses could still be observed on their bodies.
-
The roses subsist on the remaining blood on the cadaver; upon exhaustion of such subsistence, it is likely that they will begin to wither.
-
No further discoveries are to be made. This observation log is concluded.
→ As the rose is also categorized as an Abnormality, it is reasonable to assume that the entity would not necessarily follow the natural law. (Faust)
→ Corrections to the report will be made, should we discover a sample disproving my statement. (Meursault)

Two branches emerge from the front half of its body that split into what appear to be humanoid hands resting their fingertips on the ground. Its head has an elongated snout, almost like a beak, one large red eye, and two glowing antennae that twitch frequently.
Its first evolution variant shows a much brawny figure compared to its original variant, making up more of muscular thick structures with similar glowing red cracks and flickering particles. The red eyes on its head appears much larger and fiercer, with its beak looking more like a dangerously-large snout.
Its second evolution variant appears more golem-like compared to its previous variant. Instead of standing quadruped it instead stands upright on four small legs, with its former front legs replaced with two giant heat-blazing sickle appendages. Its eye can be fully seen at the top, brazen in blood red with red fire flickering above its eyeballs. The size of it is much larger than its first variant, towering over most humanoids.

Its first evolution variant shows a smaller rock with four other rocks jutting near its center, with blood veins supporting the rock-like formation in the form of a cross. Its yellow eyeball still rests at the center of the rock figure, but has gained more mobility in the terms of having red veins aiding it in movement.
Log(Written by Yi Sang):
Class 1.
It resembled a rock.
I am uncertain how an object of its mass is able to move. Its appearance could not be any less adherent to laws of science, but when I look back, it might have been an inherently scientific object after all.
It would levitate in the air and stay still.
It rolled its eyeball lodged in the center. And when it felt like it, it would ram into some persons.
I am not yet sure what motivates it to move. Even so, I wonder if it's necessary to learn its reasons at all.
It's possible that this pebble is alive.
No one would call it an organism, but by the same token, I may not be alive if no one refers to me as such.
Perhaps it was simply a matter of laziness.
We were lazy to think that it mustn't be what it thought to be.
That pebble is probably a lazy living being.
And the same could be said of me.
Class 2.
Red things seeped from what resembles a rock.
Its nature could not be determined; it very well could be veins, muscle tissue, or aught else that carries blood. Thus the most ideal nomenclature for the fluid, for the moment, would be ‘red things’.
With its every movement, the four smaller rocks held by the red things wavered precariously.
It rolls its eyeball still, yet naught seems enough to stir it; it refuses to even ram us with its body.
Instead, it merely swings with what is in its grasp.
Though it oft lashes with two or so of what is grasped, it swings all four rocks at once, from time to time.
As those numbers must originate from its own conscious decisions… I consider this to be a living being.
In other words, I am, in turn, alive as well still.
I merely find it regrettable that the rock is no longer levitating.
It is quite miraculous that such a thin thing can endure the weight of such a heavy boulder… Yet, as it is attached to the earth, it is self-evident truth that it can no longer be said to be in a state of levitation.
What has once levitated, though bereft of wings, has fallen to the earth.
And the rock vacillates hither to thither, fettered to the swaying red thing with no freedom to call its own.
Though its form has changed, its nature remains that it is a lazy living being.
Yet, it may also be said that such staunch resilience to change may itself be a form of assiduity.
What changes is slothfulness, yet what changes not is diligence.
What an odd sophistry.
Such is all I have to say.
→ I.D.K.W.T.H.H.T.A. (Ryōshū)
→ C’mon, mate. Even the incomprehensible lass can’t understand what the hell you’re talking about. Write plainly for once, yeah? (Heathcliff)

→ Lucu— Incontro— Haah. C’mon, Yi Sang. You’re doing this on purpose at this point, aren't ya? (Gregor)
→ … I have naught else to say. (Yi Sang)
Class 3.
Thus gathered have the stones to raise a mountain.
Yet where lies the green, its placement so rightful upon the mountains? A glacial cold permeates a corner of heart mine.
Rocks are mired in the grasps of the red thing still.
Unchanged are its motions, swinging and lashing the rocks with abandon—or casting them far away.
Yet, the head that had once wavered so is visible no more.
Nay, the stone is now rooted steadfast into the earth, and the rotund sphere has transfigurated into a deltoidal triangle;
an accurate assessment would state as such—while the head remains still, the wavering has ceased.
What stable form, what stalwart balance it has attained.
Indeed, at the edge of change was evolution found for this entity.
Yet even evolution is no deliverance from torpidity.
The entity’s tranquility, a consequence of electing immobility with stability, is no assiduity at all.
I know not what movement shall it take at the end’s end.
Should its motions cease, so too shall it suspend its sentience.
When, in the end, all comes to cease, it cannot be said any longer that it lives.
How unideal, how odd.
Such is all I have to say.

Peccatulum Gulae is a densely packed bundle of grey flowers with dark green stems trailing behind them. At the center of each flower is an inward spiral of teeth, like a leech's mouth. A few leaves on the stems reach outward, in front of the flowers, and twitch frequently. A few green eyeballs dangle from the highest parts of each stem.
Its first evolution variant shows a much larger loose stalks of 3 grey cottony flowers with a hole gaping open in the middle, messily coated with blood. On the stalks connecting the flowers is a green eye staring in the middle of the stems.
Log(Written by Ishmael):
Class 1. It happened while I was passing by a jungle. It was a dense green wilderness full of tall flowers and trees, as well as outlandish bees and butterflies.
You can find all kinds of unfathomably strange creatures in a place like that.
For example... That flower.
It's said that a plant can't normally move on its own. One[sic] it takes root, it stays there for the rest of its life.
That's what people consider a major difference between plants and animals.
But those "plants" were like a pack of rabid beasts.
A group of them charged at us, raising their teethed flowers like it was their head.
Their roots morphed into limbs that no longer serve the original purpose, and there didn't seem to be any space in their bodies for storing nutrients.
Yet, those scrawny stems were hungrily seeking the missing sustenance.
Continuously shoving things into the mouth, despite being unable to absorb any of it...
What an odd creature that was.
Class 2. Looks like it’s bloomed a bit more than before, doesn’t it? It looks a bit greener.
I remember it looking completely dried out, like it’s about to wither away… Not that it’s gotten any easier on the eyes, that is.
Now it has three flower heads and stems stretched out like limbs. I think I saw a tail, too… It’s only gotten more unsettling to look at.
Maybe it devoured a human or something. It’s got plenty of blood on its sharp and fearsome teeth that reminds me of a catfish's…
Actually, never mind that. There’s something weird about these things.
The monster snatched us up using its roots… stems… or whatever it is… like arms.
And immediately devoured us like a starving beast.
But… after it devoured us, it immediately spat us back out like it tasted something awful. I suppose this means that it didn’t eat us for nutrients. Not that it could, given that I didn’t see any digestive tracts or any other organs for that purpose.
But it kept trying and trying… to shove something in its maws.
Not because it’s hungry, not because it needs the nutrients…
Knowing that its stomach, if it even exists, can’t be filled.
Maybe, at the end of the day, this monster doesn’t even need to eat.
Maybe it’s all about the desire to devour. And that’s all it’s got.
Like I was myself, not so long ago.
→ Do you still remember the things she said? (Rodion)
→ Well… I doubt I’ll ever forget what that bastard said, but that’s all. I might turn around to look at the path I sailed through… but I’m not going back. (Ishmael)

Peccatulum Morositatis is a floating transparent gelatinous figure filled with a blue fluid of some sort. The lower half of its body protrudes outward and a tangled bunch of pink organs can be seen inside. One light blue eyeball floats at the top of the figure, connected to the lower organs by a single thin cable. Two "arms" reach outward from between the "head" and "body" of the figure and curl back into a spiral shape.
Its first evolution appears much larger than its original form, its internal organs at the lower half are more visible with more organs resembling that of humans in clearer view. One light blue eyeballs floats over its newly formed head resembling that of a shrimp, floating with more tiny tentacles at the bottom.
Log(Written by Meursault):
Class 1. -An insect-like entity with a transparent body. -Unable to identify several physical requirements for maintenance of life; cannot determine it as an organism. -Its body is filled with water. -Objects that appear to be organs are observed inside, but they do not appear to function as organs. -The water does not appear to play any part in biological activities, either. -The body of liquid appears to be stagnant. -It has the face of someone lost deep in thought. It could merely be a resemblance to a species of zooplankton. -Prolonged observation makes my mind sink. -Sinking… Reminding me of the past. -…It is not a pleasant feeling.
Class 2.
- This is a reminiscent of the previously observed insectoid entity with a translucent body.
- More organs required to maintain a biological organism has been identified inside its body. Some of it has matured further.
- However, no physiological characteristics enough to meet the criteria to constitute a living organism has been identified.
- What appeared to be a 'hand' has been identified. It is visible from the outside, and is wielding a round object.
- A close analysis of its behaviors and attack patterns reveals that the round object is a fluid sac of sorts.
- The fluid inside the entity's body appears to be connected with the sac. When the sac inflates, the internal fluid on its main body shrinks.
- Several organs that may constitute a 'leg' or an 'antenna' has been identified. No particular usage outside of offensive uses has been found.
- Prolonged observation of this identity remains inadvisable.
- Reminders of the negative past events remains unpleasant.
Class 3.
- The fluid sac has grown large on the previously observed insectoid entity with a translucent body.
- With the increased volume of internal fluid in this entity, it may be distinguished from the previously observed entities by the fact that the outline of its organs are no longer clearly visible.
- For the same aforementioned reason, it has been observed that using its internal fluid as a means of attack, proportionally speaking, no longer shrinks its reserves significantly.
- A new organ that connects its head to its back has been observed. It is reminiscent of scales, waves, or diaphanous veil.
- A new behavioral pattern has been observed in which it consumes an unknown substance from human brains via a passage that may be assumed to be an oral organ.
- It was speculated that the entity was using parts or blood of the said organ as nutrients, but such was not the case. However, increase in its internal fluid has been observed immediately after the consumption.
- The fluid filling its body cannot properly be defined within the confines of chemical compositions. On sight and on touch, the fluid has a distinctive property of strongly stimulating the memories of negative past events.
- … Mental state that may be evaluated as ‘negative’ has been continuing long after contact.
- It still remains unpleasant.

Peccatulum Superbiae is a large blue wheel-shaped entity with spikes along its rim. Red and flesh-colored scraps are tied around its spokes. At the very center of the wheel is one dark blue eyeball.
Its first evolution shows little difference from initial form. However, the blue wheel is much larger, with bigger spikes along the rim, and a pair of blood vein-like arm appendages sticking out below the wheels.
Log(Written by Faust):
Class 1. The wheel has often been the symbol of technological advancement. It represents humanity's realization of its ability to think up and actualize things that weren't in the nature. At the same time, it marks the beginning of humanity's transformation into prideful creatures. That might be why pride takes the form of a wheel. The steel circle doesn't ever seem to stop rotating. It doesn't care if it gashes at flesh or crushes patches of grass. Because, it can roll… While others cannot.
Class 2. Human hands and arms are not only parts of the body, but also indispensable tools of creation.
From creating small trinkets, to simple mechanisms, to the complicated designs of Workshop weaponry.
They are tools given to humans at the moment of birth; tools used to bring humanity to endless heights.
That is why the second Pride has free use of its arms.
Yet, the fact that it remains bound to a wheel must originate from the comfort-seeking part of the freedom availed by the two free, dexterous arms
Yet Pride will not, as humans have done, use their greatest tools only for creation.
It will trash and rip with its arms and hands... and inevitably be a part of some destruction.
Its motivation for such violence is simple.
Because it can.
→ It is a tragic thing for an invention to grow distant from the mind that first conceived it. A greater sorrow is that such is true of most creations of men. Including those of my design... (Yi Sang)

Notably, unevolved Peccatulum Invidiae and the Stage 2 evolved form (Peccatulum Invidiae?) appears only to be differentiated by additional strength.
Log(Written by Rodion):
- Eugh, ya sure this is the time to be writing a report?
I mean, the ‘Peccatula’ are supposed to be like those monstrous things, aren’t they?
Like that mass of flesh, or that toothy plant thing…
But… they’re just like us.
Not just in their appearance, too. They’re copying our moves!

Phew. Okay. Now that I’m taking a closer look at ‘em… I guess they’re not ‘just like us’.
There’s this dark layer over them, and they all look a bit opaque, too.
Welp, good thing they appear to be weaker than us. They’re just copycats.
Heh heh, there really wasn’t much to worry about, huh?

It really freaked me out when they used an E.G.O, though…
Also, um, ya sure ya didn’t let some of our Identity Cards slip out of your pocket? You should check, just in case.

- Mm… It’s like looking into a mirror, but not exactly.
These ones were all covered in some kinda dark, unsettling mist.
The way that the dark mist danced over their bodies... almost felt as though I was staring at my own shadow.
Yeah, a ‘shadow’. Almost like they’re manifestations of our darker sides. I know it makes no sense, but still.
Oh, and… this one was stronger than the last.
They used the same techniques that we do, but the force behind it was way stronger.
Our attacks felt ineffective, while theirs really hurt when they connected.
Haah… They know our moves, but they’re stronger than us? That’s… cheating.
Would’ve helped a lot if we had their dark mist. I really could've used that extra power.
Besides, getting killed by those things isn’t… the best feeling in the world, y’know?
They just stand there quietly, like we weren’t good enough to beat ‘em. It’s super irritating.
Haah… Nah, I shouldn't be such a downer.

A Singularity is the unique, fantastical technology a Wing possesses which seemingly defy all known laws of physics the corporation exploits in order to conduct its business.
Prided as the precious Egg to be protected by the Wing's Nest and 'Feathers', Singularities possess absurd capabilities and often appear to break conventional laws of physics to consumers, such as providing trains capable of teleportation and time travel to produce time loops.
Every Wing personally owns at least one Singularity, as patenting such technology through approval from the Head is absolutely necessary for becoming a Wing in the first place. Wings rarely use only one Singularity, often possessing multiple patents in conjunction to their main Singularity — which for one reason or another may be kept confidential to obscure how it works to secure the Singularity from being stolen by outside influences. For example, while W Corp advertises its teleportation technology to provide convenient transportation, the tech was a Singularity bought from a fallen Wing which now acts as the coverup for W Corp’s real Singularity — its body restoration technology.
When a Wing is destroyed for whatever reason, the patent to their Singularity becomes public domain and is free to be bought up by any other party, that is assuming the Singularity in question is even able to be reacquired and replicatable in the first place.
Patent War: Patent wars are spats fought between Wings and other megacorporations where they sue one another for patent infringement or accuse one another for stealing their patent.
Fixer Offices often arbitrate for the competing corporations involved, either through settling legal disputes as Notary Offices specialize in, or via corporate espionage to sabotage the competition and gain valuable intel.Third parties that are not the corps involved are usually the sole beneficiaries of the conflicts, as the intense resource drain caused by the patent war are often so disadvantageous that even Wings who win such disputes can be irreparably crippled by the legal endeavors.
According to Nemo, there are unspoken rules that important for parties involved in a patent war:
A corporation must patent their technology separately for areas outside of the Nest or any other domain under their jurisdiction. Avoid admitting to copyright infringement before carefully reviewing the lawsuit. The rights to a technology cannot be protected if its details were publicized through advertisements or such before the patent was registered.
Ethics: Every Singularity relies on human suffering to at least some degree — either through subjecting a Wing’s workers to inhumane working conditions to literally utilizing human life as a resource for the technology. Human experimentation for the purposes of testing a Singularity is very common among corporations, either for the purposes of improvement at the cost of human lives or developing a technology to become a Singularity in the first place. Abducted test subjects are often dumped into the Outskirts once their purposes have been fulfilled, many developing irreversible changes not only from the inflicted psychological trauma but also from the physical ramifications of the experiments.
By the very nature of most of the technologies, there is no ethical way to utilize nor consume them, as it is an undeniable truth that at some level: a Singularity requires the squandering of a human life to make it function.
Known Singularities:
F Corp. F Corp.'s Singularity revolves around manufacturing Fairies, which have the ability to 'open' anything, whether it be in a literal or conceptual sense. G Corp. G Corp.'s Singularity involves spheres that can control gravity. J Corp. J Corp.'s Singularity revolves around producing Locks, which keep anything 'locked', whether it be in a literal or conceptual sense. J Corp. is a casino corporation, and its Nest is known as a gambling haven; the Wing uses its Singularity to keep its assets secure. K Corp. K Corp. specializes in biotechnology that allows for the continuous repair of damaged or lost cells at a rapid pace. The most iconic use of their Singularity are their signature Helapoiesis Bullets, or HP Bullets — able to be fired at injured combatants and heal their wounds in almost an instant. K Corp. also produces HP ampules, injections capable of regenerating fatal injuries. In the Project Moon webnovel Distortion Detective, HP tablets are another K Corp. product that can heal injuries overnight. K Corp. had entered into various partnerships with other Wings due to their very potent technology, supplying SP Bullets which can heal sanity to R Corp's Reindeer Team and the HP-N Bullets for use in L Corp's main facility. The Singularity is also apparently used for meat production, although it seems to be unpopular among consumers.
The substance is sourced from The Tearful Thing, a giant eyeball-like being that produces the fluid when exposed to tear-inducing narratives, from heartwarming stories to scenes of horror.
M Corp. MDM Entreprise’s Singularity is their moonlight stone, a material emitting a golden glow which mitigates psychological affliction induced from mental attacks, pressure, and interference. Its abilities are effective regardless of perception, protecting the wearer from mental harm perceived through sight, hearing, physical sensation, or even direct assaults to the mind. While exactly how the moonstone works is confidential, it appears to amplify a single purpose or thought, causing the wearer to forget the mental pain received from outside interference in order to fortify the mind. The moonlight stone can be used to gild clothes or be made into wearable ornaments and accessories, which are widely used by Fixer Associations and Syndicate members.
N Corp. N Corp.'s Singularity is unknown, but they are responsible for manufacturing "Canned Experience", which grants anyone who consumes them experience of certain things. One such canned experience allows its consumer to experience suicide without actually going through it and is available in vending machines throughout Nest N. P Corp. P Corp.'s Singularity is unknown, but appears to be related to preservation, which is used mostly in relation to food; it created the Shelter from the 27th of March, which contains a large supply of nonperishable goods, and also produces large-sized tubs of ice cream. R Corp. R Corp.'s Singularity is their Clone Hatcheries. Through the cloning process, thousands of clones of one individual are created from 'Hatcheries'. These clones fight for survival in a TT2-accelerated environment, in which the last clone standing becomes a soldier for R Corp. S Corp. Unknown, but presumably agriculture-related due to the Wing focusing primarily on agriculture. T Corp. TimeTrack's Singularity revolves around controlling time, mainly by locally speeding up or slowing down time, and was developed largely thanks to cooperation with L Corp. TimeTrack "repackages" time collected from W Corp. for its Singularity. U Corp. U Corp.’s Singularity has its sources in the Whale Oil harvested from Whales living in The Great Lake, and primarily displays in its ability to fuse the essences of objects together. The most prominent use of U Corp.'s Singularity is the Resonance Tuning Fork, which is used to weld objects together. Other uses, including use as Stasis Preservation Boxes, are also mentioned. W Corp. Advertises its Singularity as WARP, or near-instantaneous teleportation for transportation purposes, no matter the distance. W Corp's actual Singularity is a "save point" which can restore anything back to its original condition as of the time of the save point, which they use together with teleportation technology. X Corp. Presumably is related to the manufacturing and working of especially durable and light metal alloys, such as those that is used to build The Indigo Elder's skiff.
Singularities of fallen Wings: L Corp. Lobotomy Corporation’s Singularity was Cogito, a substance with the power to manifest the human subconscious in physical form, allowing for the creation of Abnormalities, from which their energy, Enkephalin, was extracted. Teleportation Wing WARP Corp's teleportation tech, which allows for the creation of spatial rifts between dimensions, comes from this obscure fallen Wing, which collapsed because it was unable to find a commercial application for its Singularity. Tattoo Wing This Wing created and patented augmentation tattoos. It eventually collapsed, and its patent expired. Afterwards, augmentation tattoos became some of the most common body augment procedures in the City. Human Silk Wing This Wing created technology which could turn humans into high-quality silk for use in making fabric. After it collapsed, the technology patent expired. Currently, The Carnival uses this technology to operate as Tailors.

The City has developed various types of innovative technology. While many these are tied to the Wings and the Singularities in their possession, others are of wider public use, being found all across the City. This article aims to be a collection of such inventions.
Body Modification Procedures: Procedures to modify one's organic body are extremely common in the City, being practiced by people of all walks of life, from wealthy Nest citizens, to laborers of the Backstreets. Through these procedures, one's entire body can be modified, except for the brain, which must be kept intact.
Prosthetic Substitution: Prosthetic use consists in the substitution of organic limbs and organs for mechanical ones. This can be partial, or full-body; in the latter case, the user's brain is removed from their body, and placed into the new, prosthetic one.
Full-body substitution is an irreversible procedure, and therefore usually ill-advised compared to other options. It is often chosen by people in need of money, who are then able to sell their old body and their organs for a good sum, or by people who do repetitive work, as a completely mechanical body is able to withstand the stress better than an organic one, and is not subject to physical cravings such as that of food and drink. Full-body prosthetics instead require the use of brain fluid and fuel to keep the user's brain and body in good condition, as well as occasional physical maintenance.
Prosthetics can be of varying quality and aesthetics. Low-quality prosthetic substitution comes at the cost of the loss of one's senses. This can be overcome through the purchase of desire simulation chips or medicines, or that of a more expensive prosthetic, as high-quality models come with sensory organs. As of current times, full-body prosthetics most commonly resemble mechanical human bodies with heads of various shapes, as those shown during Canto III, that had become widely popular in Calw in the years preceding the start of the main story.
In the past, possibly tracing back to the times of Lobotomy Corporation's founding, full-body prosthetics had a less human design, resembling square metal cases, such as the prosthetic utilized by the Tieqiu Boss, as well as the Sephirot of Lobotomy Corporation. This design is considered incredibly antiquated during the events of the story. During the Smoke War, bio-prosthetics (prosthetics made of organic, non-human material) such as Gregor's insectoid arm, were also in wide use, although they've fallen out of style in more recent years.
Augmentations: The City offers various options for strengthening one's body. Augmentation does not require the complete subtitution of a limb, instead being a procedure that enhances its natural abilities, making augmentation procedures highly recommended for those involved in Fixer business, to the point of being necessary. Augmentations can be applied to a wide range of body parts, including the heart, as is the case for the Cane Office Fixer Bada from Library of Ruina, the muscles, as is the case for The Red Gaze, whose legs are enhanced with artificial muscle fibers, to even one's nervous reflexes, as appears to be the case for Hindley. Augmentation does not necessarily reflect on improved combat performance, as the body must still be trained with combat techniques for optimal performance.
One's skin can be enhanced as well: tattoo augmentations, famously used by The Middle, used to be a patented technology tied to the Singularity of a fallen Wing, but following its collapse, they became fairly common within the City, being more affordable compared to other options. Tattoo augmentations can grant skin as hard as steel, as well as enhanced physical strength.

A dimensional container, or dimensional attache case, is a container that is able to store items greater than the container's apparent dimension.
The technology of a dimensional container bends the space inside the case, and compresses both the size and the mass of its contents, ensuring their weight is barely felt by the carrier. This makes dimensional cases ideal for long distance transport, such as that operated by the Devyat' Association, as well as household utility and security services, which makes the cases popular among Butler Fixers. Dimensional containers are available in different makes and sizes, with the most expensive having a smaller external size and bigger inner capacity.

The Gesellschaft is a net of extra-dimensional connections utilized by Faust. This allows Faust to constantly access the knowledge gained by other versions of herself across the Mirror Worlds, and is the main ability Faust uses to fulfill her wish: to know all of the City.
Faust appears to preserve the knowledge she gains in the form of records, that are then shared with the Gesellschaft, and are accessible to Fausts of other Worlds. This is noticeably different from the other Sinners, who, when equipping an Identity, have their own memory effectively overwritten by it, and do not recall or retain any information or ability possessed by their alternate self.
Faust's connection to the Gesellschaft functions correctly as long as Faust is in a dimension that has already been analyzed by the Gesellschaft. The connection will be severed if she finds herself in an unidentified dimension. The Backdoor of Mephistopheles can restore this connection. This may be due to the bus being a dimensional space of its own, or due to its engine being the main hub of connection to the Gesellschaft.

The entire City is covered by the WARP Train network, which provides fast transportation between the Districts. The WARP Trains are powered by W Corp.'s Singularity, ostensibly a teleportation technology, that allows all trains to reach their destination within 10 seconds, regardless of distance, and passengers to avoid using automobiles, as the streets of a Nest are prone to traffic congestion. The WARP transport system was also previously known to be remarkably reliable, having had no recorded incidents in a decade prior to the events of Library of Ruina. All these factors contributed to making WARP Trains the most widely used means of transportation in the City.
Following the occurrence of an incident in the past few years, WARP Corp. is experiencing reduced revenue due to decreased first class ticket sales, forcing them to expand economy class carriages.
The price of WARP Trains appears to be standardized throughout the City, with the first class ticket costing around two or three times the monthly wage of an average person in the Nest, and a year's wage of a Backstreets dweller.
Other means of transportation mentioned to be used in the City include automobiles, buses, and normal trains. Airplanes are not used in the City, nor are they a widely known concept in current times.
Externally, the Warp Train looks like a large futuristic train in black and blue. Its interior is rather modest and is made in the same colors: bluish two-seater seats in two rows with a seat belt. On the ceiling of the train, as well as on the outer wall, there is a sign of the W Corporation .
First class carriages, where passengers spend the entire trip in Instant Freeze Hibernation Capsules. These capsules freeze a person, thereby leading him to a temporary state of death, caused by the rapid process of cryopreservation of cells. It is worth noting that this is done by the current model of Instant Freeze Hibernation Capsules. Previous models of Instant Freeze Hibernation Capsules completely froze a person, destroying his cells and then restoring him. At the very end are the freight cars.
The train also has a place for a T Corporation Time Box to collect time and a device that stores the passengers' genetic data, which can be used to restore the passengers. The Train also has a video camera that records only the most important things based on the emotional flow of people nearby.
There are also various stories and rumors among the City's residents about the Warp Train. One of the stories says that the Warp Trains take detours along the outskirts to prevent accidents while traveling at high speed.

The Tearful Thing is the Singularity utilized by K Corp. as a means to create the healing ampoules distributed throughout.
The Tearful Thing appears as a massive bloodshot eyeball connected to an unseen ceiling by tendons, with a collection of screens surrounding it. Beneath it is a pool of the collected and unrefined tears it disperses. Physically, it has grown over time, yet has has not been shown besides its current size.
The Tearful Thing was first found during Stephanette's expedition to the Outskirts with an unknown boy, wherein the boy would seemingly have his wish granted and turn into the Singularity. Stephanette, surprised, yet understanding, would collect the Singularity and bring it with her. At some point, having a major director role within the K Corp. Wing, she would utilize the Singularity through reading sad or heartwarming stories to it, something that provided a steady stream of tears, though this would be deemed "too inefficient" by Alfonso, who would wait for Stephanette's natural death and later takeover control of managing the Singularity, switching to using upsetting footage and torture of employees as means to providing a greater flow of tears from the Singularity. These tears would be used to repair the torture victims, providing an essential loop to Alfonso's plan. She would later involve Dongrang in this process, establishing as him as one of the primary caretakers of The Tearful Thing.
The Tearful Thing is first revealed when the Sinners reach the pinnacle of the K Corp. headquarters, where the screening room was located. Samjo, declaring his full trust within K Corp., would dive into the unrefined tears, submerging and disappearing within the liquid. Dongrang would then expand upon the function of the Singularity, to the active dismay of the Sinners and Dongbaek. Revealing the master plan involving the Singularity, utilizing the attack involving the Brazen Bull spurred by the Technology Liberation Alliance as means to generate more footage of destruction, Dongrang would begin to show the creation process of the tears. Soon after, Dongbaek would be stabbed with the Golden Bough, transporting the Sinners a reminisced version of the League of Nine Littérateurs, away from the screening room proper.
Later, once the Sinners have been freed from the Golden Bough's influence, they would see The Tearful Thing again, though the majority of those that witnessed it- all of the Sinners besides Dante- would have their memory wiped involving the information regarding the Singularity.

The Mirror is a powerful piece of technology invented (or discovered, as he puts it) by Yi Sang and Young-ji. It allows for observation of and communication between Mirror Worlds. Through Mephistopheles, Limbus Company utilizes the device in order to equip different Identities onto Sinners in battle.
The Mirror and the related Glass technology, its abilities, and ramifications are a main point of interest in Limbus Company.
Glass Window During one of the League of Nine Littérateurs' illuminators' conferences, Young-ji presented a small device connected to a glass pane, behind which he had positioned a dead chrysalis. Upon activating the device, the chrysalis seen through the glass appeared to revive, with a butterfly climbing out of the carcass. He then explained the technology he'd developed was not equivalent to a resurrection, as the living image was instead overriding the real image, and it would only exist within the confines of the mirror. Young-ji dubbed this creation the Glass Window.
The Glass Window would soon begin to catch the attention of researchers from all over the city, netting Young-ji two official invitations to work for a Wing, although he never disclosed which of them.
Yeonsim Ever since witnessing the functioning of the Glass Window, Yi Sang was captured by the invention. He recognized some design flaws in it, such as the instability of its frame, and was then encouraged by Young-ji to attempt to recreate it in his own way. Yi Sang thus began the development of a handheld mirror, that would be capable to reflect any possibility without a blur. He would dub this creation Yeonsim, a composite word made of the characters 硏 (to grind or study) and 尋 (to seek).
At a point in time, as the Glass technology had been recognized by T Corp to be extremely useful, the League received a confiscation notice, which would force them to yield their creations to the Wing's Technology Administration Agency. Although many of the League yielded or destroyed their creations with a concept incinerator, Yi Sang was stopped from doing so by Gubo, who took Yi Sang and the mirror with him as he escaped toward N Corp.
During his time at N Corp., Yi Sang, who had already previously found himself enthralled by Yeonsim, as it allowed him to find respite from a daily life in which his inventions appeared to do nothing but take from others, found his mental health worsening due to his prolonged contact with a Mirror World self whose life and abilities he deeply envied, and who seemed to encourage him to preserve the status quo and remain under Gubo's care. The effect of Yeonsim's influence on Yi Sang's mind, throwing him into a deep depression that would last until he was forced to face his past once more in the fathoms of his ego.
Later on, during the events of Canto IV, with the encouragement of Dongbaek and Dante, Yi Sang would be reminded of the reason he'd first created the mirror, because of his wish of connection with others, and his wish to continue living. Yi Sang would then decide to change the meaning of Yeonsim's name into 連心, "to connect the heart".
As the Glass technology and the Mirror were both noted to have some weaknesses, such a luck factor related to their reach into Mirror Worlds, more research was warranted. After the fall of the League, the research to improve them both would continue in numerous different settings: Dongrang would attempt to replicate the glass and hand it over to K Corp., which would make use of it to improve the functionality of its Singularity; Yi Sang would continue his development of his mirror under Gubo's direction; the Ring would begin its work on a recreation of the glass, with Aseah as their lead researcher, before he and the Pointillist faction would go on to join N Corp.
Limbus Company As of the start of 984, a modified version of the Mirror had been installed by Yi Sang and Faust within the engine of Mephistopheles, which would allow the LCB to extract and make use of Identities of the Sinners from other worlds.
Through the use of Mephistopheles' engine, Identities are pulled from countless realities in the form of cards, which must be inserted in Dante's LCB-PDA. The LCB-PDA, connected with the mirror within the engine, is also what allows Dante to communicate with the Identities themselves, who view them and the outside world as if through a glass window. While the overlay may cause unwanted side effects over time, such as headaches or residual traces of the Identity's personality, the system is designed to allow for only a temporary modification of the user's existence and memories, as the overlay will be undone upon separating the chosen reflection from the device.
Hermann's Group N Corp., particularly Director Hermann's group, has been involved with Glass technology since the fall of the League of Nine, upon which Hermann decided to create a second League, by recruiting Gubo, Yi Sang, and Aseah. Hermann's stated purpose in his research is to find a way to destroy all Mirror Worlds. Hermann's group appears to have continued their work on both Yi Sang's Mirror and Young-ji's Glass technology, the latter of which was overseen by Aseah. Hermann's group does not seem to be currently making personal use of this technology during combat, instead researching it through experimentation and weaponizing their knowledge in pursuing their goals.
Upon acquiring a Golden Bough, presumably the one retrieved during the expedition to L Corp. Branch D-02 in January 984, Hermann decided to make use of the ancient River that flows beneath Wuthering Heights, a source which carries the collective consciousness of humanity, to further her research.
Thus Hermann, having previously witnessed Yi Sang's psychological decay, in part due to the Mirror's power in breaking human hearts and shaking the realities of one's existence, made use of the Mirror in her possession to persuade Nelly to switch allegiancies to N Corp., and have Nelly manipulate the ailing Catherine by putting her into contact with countless Mirror Worlds, particularly one that would request to overwrite her. At this point, Hermann could easily convince Catherine to set up a laboratory that would be used for N Corp.'s experiments to create a human "dough", an empty vessel onto which any Identity from a different world might be overlaid. With Linton's complicity in procuring subjects for the research, Hermann began the summoning of an Identity that would wreak havoc across numerous Mirror Worlds, in a process dubbed the Wild Hunt.
The Ring The Ring has shown active interest in the Glass technology, having taken Aseah from his occupation at N Corp. for the purpose of continuing the research together with Maestro Jumsoon, although Aseah has since been rescued and returned to his work at N Corp.
According to Aseah, the Glass technology is less stable than the Mirror developed by Yi Sang, but is capable of overlaying a larger number of worlds: in fact, the Ring's experiments focused on stacking mutiple realities and Identities into a single person at the same time, a painful experience that resulted in the fracturing of one's mind as it was pulled into different directions. This was defined "Refraction Rate", representing the number of "rifts", or realities being overlaid over the subject. Aseah's first experiments used refraction rates that went from twenty-six to fourty, although Jumsoon planned to be able to make at least ten thousand rifts.
Refraction Glass Pod As revealed in Leviathan, Lapis and Garnet, as well as all the children from the orphanage Vergilius was associated with, were used as subjects for the Ring's experiments with the Glass technology's Refraction Rate. While most of the subjects would shatter or retreat into cocoons, eventually turning into peccatula, Garnet managed to survive the experiment for a short time before being overwhelmed and falling into a cocoon as well. Afterwards, Vergilius would find Lapis, seemingly unharmed and still human, although her original identity appeared to have been permanently overlaid with someone else's, her memories of this reality erased.
The Ring appears to have developed other ways of using Glass technology, such as hallucinogens in the form of a kaleidoscope, that allow the user to gaze into multiple worlds and experience a sense of euphoria from it.
K Corp. K Corp. utilizes the Glass technology provided to them by Dongrang to boost its Singularity, the Tearful Thing, and its child entities's production of Tears, by showing the Singularity a continuous feed of violent content.

Mephistopheles is the bus used by the LCB Team of Limbus Company. Mephistopheles is driven by Charon and is used by the Sinners and Vergilius, serving as their transport, mobile base of operations and habitation in their mission to retrieve the Golden Boughs.
Mephistopheles is a rectangular, four-wheeled bus with barred windows and low fenders. The front resembles a steam locomotive's smokebox, possessing a chimney, semicircular windshield and a cowcatcher-esque bumper. Mephistopheles also possesses a hidden shredder on its side to facilitate Enkephalin extraction.
Limbus Company's personal branding are written on the side of the vehicle in all caps, whereas only "LIMBUS" is written on the front. Mephistopheles is primarily coloured red and dark gray, with silver, wavelike accents in various locations across the bus.
The interior of Mephistopheles is wide and possesses red seating (apparently with no seatbelts) and handrails/grab handles for the Sinners. The driver's cab is located on the left, decorated with various items by Charon.
Mephistopheles has a ornate doorway on its rear. Beyond it is the Backdoor, a straight, softly lit corridor with red-and-gold carpeting and wooden doors to the Sinner's rooms on each side. Gold stanchions and velvet ropes block off all but the first 8 doors; with further areas devolving into a complex system of other corridors and crossroads.
When in "busboat" (boat) form, Mephistopheles becomes significantly larger, acquires an ornate gray hull with red trim, a metal deck and a stern deck crane. The cabin remains unchanged, but now possesses a traditional ship's wheel.
As a bus, Mephistopheles can easily and quickly transport the entire LCB Team, sometimes with additional passengers. However, it also possesses nonstandard features to assist the Sinners. The bus itself can also be used as a weapon to plow into targets.
Enkephalin Extraction The engine of Mephistopheles, designed by Faust, can use Enkephalin to generate ignition and thrust. Because Enkephalin is produced in the brain and spinal nerves (with extraction from live subjects being more effective), the bus can feed on humans for fuel: in Canto I, several live Hooligans are fed into Mephistopheles' shredder. Faust further explains that the flesh and blood can be used to maintain Mephistopheles' speed, thus conserving Enkephalin.
Extraction Using its engine and Lunacy, Mephistopheles can extract random Identities in the form of Identity Cards and E.G.O from Mirror Worlds. It is said to use the "concept of possibilities itself" as fuel by Faust.
While the extraction range is usually 3 years into the future or past, it can increase to 10 years or more when "specific possibilities" can be clearly observed and the "borders between the mirror realities are entirely shattered", such as during Walpurgis Night. The Sinner's experiences can also gradually increase the extraction range to more Mirror Worlds.
Regeneration Mephistopheles can slowly regenerate itself using its engine. After having its stern partially crushed between two ships, it repaired the damage in a few days.
Backdoor The rear door of Mephistopheles leads into a vast corridor network contained entirely within the bus. Each side has doors that lead into rooms for each of the Sinners; their appearance and ambience is influenced by the Sinner's mental state but nonetheless provides them with habitation. It is described as the Sinner's lodging, personal space and cell by Dante. The door to Dante's room opens to a corridor with the entrances to the Luxcavation Dungeons, Mirror Dungeons, (both powered by the engine) and the Refraction Railway, a subway station with a self-driving train with a design scheme similar to Mephistopheles. The backdoor also possesses a breakroom.
Because Mephistopheles' engine changes and adapts with each Golden Bough retrieval, the contents of the Backdoor (namely the Mirror Dungeon) also changes with each retrieval.
Nobody is permitted to go into the unlit corridors past the Sinner's rooms. Beyond that point are a network of forked paths and crossroads that only Faust can navigate. The doors lead to different spaces depending on who opens them, allowing multiple people to use the same door for different destinations.
Deeper corridors may possess auditory and spatial anomalies. Heathcliff, Dante and Faust began "falling" sideways in one corridor. Additional hazards include being "engulfed" (which Faust does not elaborate on) and entities of obscure nature, one of which gives Heathcliff psychological damage. The fact that Heathcliff's rescue prevented a "sudden vacancy" in the LCB implies even Dante's clock is ineffective against these threats.
Shapeshifting After Molar Boatworks installs a form transmogrifier, Mephistopheles can transform into a boat. This mechanism relies on the bus' core, which is said to permit Mephistopheles the ability to change into other forms.
Endure Mode: Endure Mode was activated after encountering a Great Lakes Wave. Its exact features (aside from lengthening the deck) are unclear, but it appears to give the Sinners space for combat; the busboat was also undamaged by the Great Lakes Whale clinging onto the hull while it was active. Backup Power System: Mephistopheles can be powered by pedals on the ship's deck in the absence of power. This is a consequence of the engine melding with the navigation system, as the failure of the latter will cause both to become temporarily stop functioning. Skiff: Mephistopheles has a small, undecked skiff that just fits every Sinner. It can be propelled with its own engine or by oar.

Identities are an invention making use of Mirror technology, enabling someone to overlay their own identity with an alternate version of themselves from a Mirror World.
As used by the LCB, Identities are alternate forms of the Sinners from a Mirror World extracted from Mephistopheles' Engine within a time range of approximately 3 years into the past or future—unless during the period of Walpurgis Night, where it is extended beyond.
When an Identity is equipped, the Sinner's behavior, appearance, and abilities change, reflected in gameplay by their Skills, Sin Affinities, and voice lines. Once an Identity is unequipped, Sinners forget all knowledge, abilities, and personality changes tied to the Identity.
When using Identities, Dante can communicate with the Identity by synchronizing it with their LCB-PDA and the bus Window where the Identities are able to see the world they are extracted to as if through an opaque glass. Once extracted, the Identity and Dante make an unspoken agreement; the Identity is then available for use in combat. The overlaying as well as the removal of an Identity is accompanied by the sound of glass shattering.
When not in use, Identities are stored as small rectangular cards the size of mahjong tiles, which show the image of the Sinners' Mirror World selves, and that Dante carries with them.
Identities start at Level 1 and can be leveled to a maximum of Level 50 (as of the current version). Identity levels are not shared even if they are variants of the same Sinner.
The Identity Level cap was Level 30 at release. It increased from 30 to 35 with the Season 2: Reminiscence update and increased from 35 to 40 with the Season 3: Bon Voyage update. Further Level caps are tied to story progression, increasing from 40 to 45 after clearing Canto V, then from 45 to 50 after clearing Canto VI.
Identities can gain EXP through story battles, where the equipped Identities of all Sinners will receive EXP even if they do not participate in the battle, although those in battle will gain more. Alternatively, Identities can be given EXP by using Identity Training Tickets, or they can be elevated to a certain level via Level Boost Tickets.
The effects of the collected Golden Boughs allow equipped Identities, as well as the LCB Sinners, to grow stronger, represented in the game as an increase in the maximum Level, Uptie Tier and Threadspin Tier.
While the Sinners retain most of their physical attributes and appearance, how they respond, their Resistances, and their stats differ. Each Identity's unique attributes and Skills may make them more suited for certain Offensive or Defensive archetypes within battle.
Each Identity has different speech patterns while retaining certain memories like missions and Dante. This is notable in the Windows section of the main menu, where the selected Identity presented will greet the manager depending on certain scenarios:

The Golden Boughs are mysterious, tree-like objects with a golden glow. The reaching and collecting of them is the LCB’s main goal and Limbus Company’s overarching objective.
The Golden Boughs are small, branch-shaped items emitting a golden glow- "a potent energy source, holding the essence of many technological marvels", according to Vergilius. They can be found strewn across the City in the underground remnants of old Lobotomy Corporation branches, and are highly sought after by those familiar with their power. When close enough to them, a Bough will resonate with its respective Sinner, opening up the rest of the group to a show of their memories. The LCB is working specifically to retrieve them.
It is possible that some unknown River had some part in the creation of the Golden Boughs.
The Golden Boughs are home to a variety of incredible, not-yet-understood powers. Seen most frequently is its ability to resonate with a specific Sinner when close enough to them, revealing the fathoms of their ego and making a viewable presentation out of their past or psyche. Rather than just Dante and the rest of the Sinners, everyone in the proximity is shown these. Each individual Bough lines up with a certain Sinner with connections to its resting site, associating with them so that they unconsciously understand where it is located (and later resonating with that particular Sinner as long as there is no outside interference).
When resonating with someone, the Golden Bough creates an interactable landscape reflecting the psyche, which anyone or anything in the area can walk around in. In Canto I: The Outcast, this is a twisted memory of Gregor's time during the Smoke War. In Canto II, Rodya's mind creates a massive, icy castle, while in Canto IV, Yi Sang forms a "play" of sorts taking place in the League of Nine's old workshop. Though each Bough will automatically begin to resonate with a Sinner, the ability to resonate with them is not limited to the group. Due to getting her hands on the Bough before the Sinners, Canto III: The Unconfronting shows Kromer resonating with the Bough and creating an ego-based domain instead of Sinclair. Compared to the Sinners, hers is exceptionally twisted and gruesome- taking the form of countless corpses stacked haphazardly into hills and mountains.
However, resonating with the Branch K-02 Bough did more for Kromer than forming the unending hill of corpses. It also turned her into a gigantic, fleshy abomination aligning with her love for human flesh and “purity”. Because Kromer wished to use the Bough’s power for the sake of carrying out her genocidal ideals, this form would either be the monstrosity she planned to use in order to achieve that goal, or something that happens automatically when one fully resonates with a Golden Bough.
Those who know of the Boughs seem to be of the understanding that they can make anything happen; not only did Kromer aim to use one in order to “cleanse” society, Sonya also aspired to use the one he sought out for the sake of building an entirely new world. Faust and Hermann’s group wanting to amass all of them implies that there is even more to be gained by collecting more than one, despite their already immense power.
In Hell’s Chicken, Dante is strangely able to understand the Papa Bongy distortion’s speech. Faust suggests that this may be due to the influence of the Golden Boughs the group has collected resonating with their head, pertaining to another potential capability of the Boughs.
During Canto V, Dante is revealed to see into people's hearts and mind, letting them see what they are thinking, or memories of their past. For example, when Sinclair is upset with Ishmael's callousness over the LCCB team, they sees memories of Effie and Saude, the guilt of their deaths. For Ishmael, they see her wish to kill Ahab when asked. For Ahab herself, they see memories Ahab sacrificing almost the entirety Pequod Town, her crew, to the Whale so she could reach the Heart.
In Canto VI, the Golden Bough is shown to be able to store and produce massive amounts of energy, which can be then channeled to produce incredible effects, from summoning a certain Identity from another Mirror World to the erasure of a designated person from every Mirror World. Extremely power-consuming applications, such as the pan-multiversal erasure mentioned above, will leave the Golden Bough burnt out, glowing a faded grey color instead of the usual gold.
Additionally, the Sapling of Light powers utilized by Dante after Canto VI is also connected to the Golden Boughs collected somehow.

Branch D-02 The abandoned L Corp. branch whose Golden Bough resonated with Gregor. It is located under a spot in the District 4 Backstreets, and has since degraded into a field of corpses and bugs.
The Sinners failed to retrieve the Golden Bough at this location due to Hermann, Gubo, and Jia Huan swooping in and stealing it following Yuri's death.
This was later given to Catherine by Hermann when it was discovered at the Wuthering Height, and used to summon Every Catherine before becoming white and burnt out. It was acquisitioned by the sinners following the events of Canto VI.
Branch J-03 The abandoned L Corp. branch whose Golden Bough resonated with Rodion. It is located under a large casino in District 10's Backstreets, and is a large cave in the process of being turned into an expansion for storing vaults.
The Sinners successfully retrieved the Golden Bough at this location, but only because Sonya allowed them to have it.
Branch K-02 The abandoned L Corp. branch whose Golden Bough resonated with Sinclair. It is located under the Sinclair family mansion in the town of Calw of District 11’s Nest, and has since been turned into a chamber for torturing those the N Corp. Inquisition deems heretics.
The Sinners successfully retrieved the Golden Bough at this location, but only because Demian killed Kromer for them, and subsequently allowed them to have it.
Reminisced League of Nine The realm created as a result of the K-Corp.-owned Golden Bough which resonated with Yi Sang. It is not a real location, rather, the Reminisced League of Nine is a place from Yi Sang's memories in the form of a play focused on his life and how the League came to fall apart. It twists reality and reanimates the dead inside the K Corp. laboratory.
The Sinners successfully retrieved the Golden Bough at this location, however they ended up unwillingly turning over their memories of K Corp.'s Singularity following Dongrang's attack.
Inside the Pallid Whale After the abandoned L.Corp branch was eaten –and spat back out– by the Pallid Whale, it is revealed that the Golden Bough lies within the Calamity itself, lodged in its heart. Alongside Pallid Mermaids, there are also Abnormalities from the abandoned L.Corp branch, as well as "Pequod Town". It can counteract the effects of "pallidification", the Pallid Whale's corruption on its victims.
The Sinners successfully retrieved the Golden Bough at this location with help from the Indigo Elder opening the way, and Ishmael gains the Bough for the Sinners by piercing the beast's heart.
Wuthering Heights Two Golden Boughs are reported to be located in the Wuthering Heights manor. One was moved from the T Corp. located branch to the manor, purchased by Linton with a sizeable portion of his family's assets by Catherine's wish, and the other lent by N Corp., presumably the one taken by Hermann's group from Branch D-02. Catherine's will states that Heathcliff is to receive her Bough when "the seventh lightning strikes".
Two Bough were used in summoning Every Catherine. The one attached to Catherine's coffin was left burnt out and white after the Bough was used by Catherine to erase herself from all Mirror Worlds. This bough was eventually retrieved by the Sinners. The other Bough attached to the Wuthering Heights rooftop is taken by Nelly following the defeat of Erlking Heathcliff and Every Catherine back to N Corp.
La Manchaland An Urban Nightmare level amusement park run by Bloodfiends that appears ever-so-often in P Corp. The Bough itself came from a Lobotomy Branch that was built on top of it, but when La Manchaland manifested for the first time, the abandoned Branch was swallowed up, and the Bough was lodged within the First Kindred's body within the park's Ferris wheel. It managed to suppress much of the First Kindred's power, yet bring out his long suppressed thirst for blood. It was retrieved after Don Quixote defeated the First Kindred.
Sansón was the one who left the Bough within the First Kindred for Don Quixote to properly claim it.

A Nest is the segregated areas of a Wing's district which act as the antithesis to the Backstreets — being desirable, urban residences supported by the Wings.
While acting as the home of their workers, or 'feathers' — such inhabitants are ultimately still expendables, as a Nest's true purpose is to protect their "eggs", their Singularity.
Each district is physically split into a Nest and the Backstreets, with the Backstreets being incredibly dangerous and poverty-ridden, and the Nests being generally peaceful and much more preferable. The Nests are run by lofty taxes and the money each Wing makes via their Singularity. There are said to be 26 districts and therefore 26 Nests, however, no map of the City has ever depicted district 26, leaving its existence ambiguous.
Residents of a Nest are most frequently of the upper-class. The Backstreets exist to motivate its citizens so that they might one day move out of the Backstreets and into a Nest, and Nest citizens are motivated to work hard so that they may continue to live in a Nest and not get dumped into the Backstreets; as a result, many Nest-dwellers are also hard workers, actively aware of all that is at stake. Most who live in the Nests work at the Wings. Furthermore, each Nest is different from one another, and have their own distinct culture.
Though a district's Backstreets can collapse or be devastated without much of a fuss, the same does not go for the Nests. A Nest will end up falling if its Wing does, and will subsequently degrade into a ghetto not dissimilar from the Backstreets, occupying all kinds of desperate folks. Library of Ruina features a main setting located right in the middle of the fallen L Corp.'s Nest. As of Limbus Company, Lobotomy Corporation has yet to be replaced, leaving the entirety of the district as a rabid slum-equivalent.
Known Nests:
Nest J A district with an overall emphasis on gambling, with its Nest acting as the center of it all. Vergilius describes it as "a nest of hedonism where you can drown in money or be drained of everything you have". J Corp. is home to the wishpower technology, which processes luck, and is commonly used by anyone living in the district as a temporary luck-boosting tattoo.
Nest K Considered one of the more decent Nests, the Singularity powering it is known as HP bullets. There are heavy security measures and long lines at its checkpoint separating it from the Backstreets.
K Corp.'s Nest, visited by the LCB in Canto III: The Unconfronting. The Nest itself is very futuristic looking, with high buildings aligned with colorful lights and countless windows. It is described as having an "emerald glow."
In K Corp.'s Nest lies the town of Calw, known as "The Holy Site of Nest K's Prosthetic Industry", which also happens to be Sinclair's hometown. It has since been transformed by the N Corp. Inquisition, turned into a twisted center of prosthetic corpses strung up like Christmas decorations amidst a variety of burning fires.
K Corp.'s Nest is also home to Bodhisattva Chicken and Eunbong's Bar & Fryers, which saw the Papa Bongy Distortion incident.
Nest L Previously a normal Nest home to Lobotomy Corporation, it had changed into a dangerous, foggy region as a result of the great White Nights and Dark Days. Following this event, the Library took its place, and occupied the heart of the Nest. The Library would slowly grow to be more powerful and famous overtime. The fog would disappear, and a group known as the Reverberation Ensemble would camp outside of it, prohibiting access and causing chaos.
At the end of Library of Ruina, at least six months prior to the start of Limbus Company, Nest L in its entirety was exiled to the Outskirts by agents of the Head, leaving the massive, unclaimed expanse that is now District 12. The district has yet to establish a new L Corp. and properly rebuild a Nest.
Nest N The pure-white Nest home to Meursault, and the district that dispatched Kromer and her group to K Corp.'s Nest.
Nest V V Corp.'s Nest is where the infamous Crying Children incident occurred, an event which killed 80,000 people.

A victim takes off their skin, washes it in a machine, and wears another person's skin from the storage room, which turns them into a completely different person. In the past it had wiped out an entire Fixer Office.

The Mock Exam was a Distortion that manifested in the Nest of District 14.
The Mock Exam is a Mass Distortion which manifested inside a private high school in the Nest of District 14 two months before Suneung (CSAT). It encompasses the entire school building and affects everyone inside, teacher and students alike. While there are no outwardly signs to the regular person, Moses identifies the Distortion by the blood-red number outside the school counting down the days before the test and by the students who appear as amalgams of numbers to her. It forces intruders to take part in the supplementary classes and mock exams. These exams force participating students to kill each other in order to solve the posed exam problems. The exams are held to determine which students get to participate in the scholarship class. Once the exam concludes, the killed students are brought back to life.
