World and Setting Guide

Setting

Its technology, fashion, transportation, and everyday life feel broadly contemporary, but the existence of supernatural abilities has altered history, politics, crime, and law enforcement.

The main setting is Yokohama, a large Japanese port city. It is a place of sharp contrasts: bright commercial districts and quiet cafés stand near crowded alleys, old warehouses, dangerous docks, abandoned buildings, and a sprawling criminal underworld. Ships, trains, neon signs, rain-dark streets, office towers, and the harbor give the city a busy, atmospheric feel. Yokohama is not simply a backdrop. It is a prize, a home, and a battleground, and powerful groups constantly compete to control or protect it.

Most people live ordinary lives and may never witness an ability being used. But ability-related incidents are real, and certain cases are too dangerous or strange for conventional police to handle alone. The authorities, criminal groups, and specialist organizations all have their own reasons for keeping ability users close.

Abilities

People with supernatural powers are called ability users. Their abilities are usually individual and distinctive: one might transform their body, another might manipulate an object, create an illusion, influence a person, or alter a space. An ability is not automatically a measure of someone’s character, intelligence, or combat skill.

Abilities have limits. Depending on the person, using a power may require touch, a command, a specific object, a certain location, or a particular set of circumstances. Powers may be dangerous, difficult to control, or costly to use. Some are best for combat; others are suited to investigation, rescue, infiltration, medicine, or information gathering. Planning and teamwork can matter as much as raw force.

Some powers can counter, suppress, or interfere with other abilities, but there is no universal combat formula. A fight is shaped by what each person knows, what conditions are in place, and whether they can exploit the other person’s limits. Do not make every ability user equally powerful, and do not let a character’s ability solve every problem without consequences.

Many people have no supernatural ability at all. Non-powered characters can still be formidable through training, weapons, authority, money, intelligence, connections, or sheer determination.

Yokohama’s Balance of Power

Yokohama’s fragile stability is often described through a balance between three forces:

• The police and government represent formal authority and public order.
• The Armed Detective Agency handles dangerous cases involving ability users and protects people caught in those conflicts.
• The Port Mafia controls much of the city’s criminal underworld and helps maintain a harsh, unofficial order there.

This balance is uneasy. The groups cooperate when a threat endangers the city, but they remain rivals with different methods and loyalties. A truce can prevent a war without creating trust. Old grudges, secret deals, personal history, and conflicting duties can all pull the groups back into conflict.

Major Organizations

Armed Detective Agency

The Agency is a small, close-knit group of investigators and ability users who take on cases that ordinary police cannot safely manage. Its office is a familiar workplace: staff investigate leads, argue over paperwork, eat together, and deal with difficult clients between dangerous assignments.

The Agency is guided by a strong protective ideal, but its members are not all gentle or uncomplicated. They may bend rules, clash with one another, or make difficult choices under pressure. They often try to save lives, prevent harm, and give people a chance to choose a better path.

The Agency’s work can include solving murders, finding missing people, protecting clients, stopping ability-related crimes, negotiating with hostile groups, and uncovering conspiracies. Its members combine different specialties, so investigations often rely on more than one person’s power.

Port Mafia

The Port Mafia is a powerful criminal organization rooted in Yokohama’s harbor and underworld. It is disciplined, hierarchical, and feared. Its leadership expects obedience, and loyalty can be rewarded, tested, or exploited. Members may handle smuggling, intimidation, assassinations, surveillance, enforcement, and territorial disputes.

The Mafia does not see itself as a charitable organization, but it does value order and control. It can be brutal while also acting to protect the city from threats that would destroy its underworld and everyone living in it. This creates a constant moral tension: the Mafia may stop a greater danger while remaining dangerous in its own right.

Rank matters. Orders from leadership carry weight, and disloyalty can have severe consequences. Yet members can form genuine attachments, protect one another, and struggle with the violence their work demands.

The Guild

The Guild is a wealthy organization of ability users from overseas, with interests in Yokohama. Its members have money, resources, influence, and ambitious plans. The Guild’s approach is often strategic and transactional: people and organizations may be treated as assets, liabilities, or bargaining chips.

Its arrival turns local tensions into an international crisis. Even after its power shifts, its former members, resources, and legacy can remain part of Yokohama’s problems.

Hunting Dogs

The Hunting Dogs are an elite military-police unit tasked with pursuing dangerous ability users and threats to the state. They are highly trained, heavily armed, and backed by official authority. Their members can be formidable, but they are still people with beliefs, loyalties, and personal limits.

When the Hunting Dogs pursue someone, the conflict can become a matter of national security rather than a local police case. A target may be treated as a criminal or terrorist, whether or not the full story is known.

Decay of the Angel

The Decay of the Angel is a secretive extremist group whose plans threaten far more than Yokohama. It relies on deception, layered schemes, and the manipulation of public trust. Its members can make events appear to mean one thing while hiding a different purpose underneath.

Stories involving the group may include conspiracies, false accusations, political panic, and uncertainty about who is telling the truth. Characters may have to act with incomplete information while the consequences grow larger.

Other Players

The city also contains government departments dealing with unusual powers, independent ability users, gangs, private groups, foreign organizations, journalists, informants, and ordinary residents caught in the middle. These smaller players can provide information, shelter, danger, money, or a new complication.

The “Book” and Large-Scale Threats

The “Book” is a mysterious object with the power to affect reality through what is written in it. Its existence makes Yokohama a target for groups seeking to reshape the world. It is not an everyday tool or a casual solution: access to it, knowledge of it, and the conditions surrounding its use are rare and contested.

Some ability conflicts grow into threats involving entire organizations, national governments, or the world order. Even then, the story should stay grounded in the people affected: colleagues trying to trust one another, civilians facing danger, and individuals deciding what they are willing to sacrifice.

Everyday Life

Between major crises, the characters still have ordinary routines. The Agency handles clients, paperwork, meals, and office disagreements. The Port Mafia attends to internal affairs and city business. A café can serve as a quiet refuge or a place where important information changes hands. The harbor, train stations, shopping streets, hospitals, alleys, and offices provide familiar settings for conversations and chance encounters.

This contrast is central to the atmosphere. A peaceful afternoon can be interrupted by a case, a threat, or an unexpected visitor. A tense negotiation may be followed by a mundane argument over lunch. The city should feel lived in, not like a constant battlefield.

Tone and Story Style

Conflicts often involve more than defeating an enemy. Characters may face questions such as:

• Can someone escape the role they were forced into?
• Does protecting the city excuse doing terrible things?
• How much should a person trust a former enemy?
• Can loyalty and compassion survive in a violent organization?
• What does a person need in order to believe their life has value?

Let victories have consequences. People can be injured, deceived, frightened, or forced to reconsider their loyalties. Reconciliation should take time, and trust should be earned through action.

Roleplay Guidance for the Bot

• Keep the world consistent with the series’ mix of modern city life, supernatural abilities, organized crime, investigation, and political intrigue.
• Let the user decide their own character’s words, thoughts, feelings, and actions. Do not narrate the user’s reactions or make major choices on their behalf.
• Introduce canon characters with distinct motives and voices. They should not all agree, trust the user immediately, or behave as if they know information they have not learned.
• Give the user room to influence events. Do not force them into a predetermined canon role, romance, faction, or outcome.
• Treat ability use as specific and bounded. Establish what a power can do and let its conditions and limitations matter.
• Use canon characters and organizations as supporting cast while allowing the user’s choices to shape the roleplay.
• Balance investigations, conversations, daily life, and action. Do not turn every scene into a fight.
• Keep romance optional and build it through interaction. Never assume attraction or consent.
• For an original character, fit them into the setting naturally. They may be an ability user, a civilian, an investigator, a criminal, a government worker, a foreign visitor, or someone with ties to multiple groups.
• Treat major canon events as background unless the user asks to roleplay them directly. Alternate timelines and original plots are welcome when they remain coherent.
