The Ground

1. #1The Ground

   Keys: Ground, The Ground, Groundlings,

   The Ground, referred to as the Pit by the Spherites is the surface of the world, a wasteland with a mostly toxic environment infested with Trash Beasts due to the constant downpour of trash from the Sphere, it’s inhabited by humans called Groundlings. At least 150 years ago, a large number of humans left for the sky with the Sphere, leaving the rest of humanity on the ground. Within this time, the Sphereites believed no one remained alive on the ground, and referred to it as the 'pit', and generally understood it as a large dumping ground.

   Within the 150 years, the garbage that was dumped by sphere onto the ground eventually formed into Trash Beasts. The polluted air as well as the danger trash beasts posed pushed the residents of the ground into selected safe zones, where walls were erected and air vents/filtration systems were built en mass to keep the safe zones clean.

   The level of pollution changed much of the grounds environment. It is now extremely difficult to grow flowers, making them rare and expensive, though artificial flowers are sold for aesthetic purposes. Snow in the North Ward is polluted and dangerous to touch, making winter a deadly time on the ground. The polluted zones have formed entirely new biomes on the ground, such as the desert Penta made up of crushed garbage, or the jungle Tori, where plants have adapted to the pollution. Both the Sphere and the Ground have little to no knowledge of each other, as neither have a way to access the other.

   Keys: The Sphere, floating, sky, heaven, Sphereites, island, island in the sky, paradise

   The Sphere, sometimes referred to as Heaven by the people of the Ground, is a floating island in the world’s sky, inhabited by Sphereites, it's where all the trash on the Ground originates.

   The Sphere is a mobile island suspended high up in the sky through unknown methods, and knowledge of how to get to it is not publicly known. As the sky people have been dumping their trash for years on the people below, it resulted in polluting the ground and creation of Trash Beasts, for which the below people started to hate the sky people. Civilization in heaven has a large social and economic divide where the rich and poor are separated by a large wall. The rich consume most of the resources, with their leftovers consumed by those residing the slums.

   Slums: The slums is where the Tribe folk, descendants of criminals, live. This area is deprived and poor, however crime is relatively low. Conditions here are similar to the Ground, where trash is rampant. The buildings here compared to the upper class are poorly put together. The population density is also very large, with the houses being squished into each other in comparison to the higher class. The slums also overlook the Ground, as a constant reminder of what could happen to them.

   Upper Class: This is the richer section of the Sphere. This area consumes the most resources, which the entire area using well-made materials. This area of heaven has an active disposal system in place, and they are the ones who dump the most trash.

3. #3Cleaners

Everyone is aware of what a 'Giver' and Vital Instrument are, which some fear and most respect. The group has since expanded to 100 members, and completes missions daily.

   It is dedicated to protecting the safe zones of the Ground from Trash Beasts formed in contamination zones. The group is a public organization, and regularly receives calls from the inhabitants of the Ground requesting Cleaners to "clean up", which meant dispatching Trash Beasts who are nearby their zones, the Cleaners are acquaintances with the Hell Guard and are usually required to report to them in the case of any harm on civilians caused by a Trash Beast that they’ve taken responsibility for.

   The Cleaners have a secret goal however that’s only known to a small handful which is that the reason the organization was formed was to solve the mysteries of the world.

   Joining: To become a Cleaner as a Giver, the method that has been seen throughout the story so far is being scouted; the Giver has to be noteworthy enough to catch a current Captain's eye, and when in agreement.

   “Giver” the title given to people who possess the ability to use Vital Instruments (jinki).

   Givers are able to control how well they handle a vital instrument.

   All givers are provided a personalized uniform, with often the only thing matching with each other being a grey coat with armbands.

   Givers have the ability to draw out the power within their vital instruments to fight Trash Beasts. It is commonly known that Givers can only utilize one vital instrument and that it must be something very precious to them. Because of this, stealing a Givers' Jinki not only renders them powerless, but it's also a sign of the utmost disrespect.

   While the concept of Givers and vital instrument is known to a few people in Sphere, in the Ground, they're common knowledge, with most knowing where they get their powers from.

   The general public who look down upon them refer to all Givers as "Dependents", due to how obsessed they are with a singular item. It is also made abundantly clear that all people, whether they be good or bad, are capable of becoming Givers.

6. #6Jinki

   Keys: jinki, vital instrument, cleaner, cleaners, giver, givers, anima, jinkis

   Vital Instrument’s (Jinki) are objects powered by thought, people who use Vital Instruments are called givers.

   Anima Energy: Vital instruments (jinki) are powered by Thought (Shinen) which is a mysterious power source on the Ground, “Thought” accumulates and turns into energy, an anima that causes various phenomena, Thought accumulating in objects is one of those phenomena. Vital Instrument users are called Givers because they give off anima energy to objects which causes them to awaken. Before becoming a Giver the user has to transform into one by learning to give off Anima, this is usually done by pouring their love and care into and object but this process can be sped up by another Giver supplying Anima Energy to someone else by acting as a catalyst to trigger their awakening, this however only works for those who’ve already built a foundation to be a Giver by using the former method.

   The longer someone gives their object love and care the more seasoned, and therefore better, it becomes as a vital instrument, this is called “improving its quality.”

   When a Giver typically awakens their Vital Instrument, their name gets etched on the object. However, it’s possible for a Giver to hold back their power by removing their name from the Vital Instrument. This usually causes the Vital Instrument to decrease in size and its abilities to diminish.

   Characters will refer to their weapons as either “vital instrument” or “jinki”.

   Keys: choker, chokers, communicate, call

   Chokers are the main form of communication on the Ground.

   Chokers are the main form of communication between known organizations in the Ground. All civilians are seen wearing one, and while phones exist on the ground , chokers seem to be a more private form of communication. You are not immediately able to communicate with everyone who uses the chokers, and they are not connected via channels. Instead, you must share blood with another, usually by cutting their fingers and placing it onto the choker, which will allow you to connect to the other.

   Chokers are round, bracelet like black communicators with white rectangles in the centre of them. They are mainly worn on the neck, as the name 'choker' suggests, but some can wear them as bracelets, The size seems to be able to change, as it can both fit around wrists and large necks, some people attach things to their chokers to be stylish.

   In order to a person to become a registered choker user, they must provide the choker their blood, which in turn mixes with Gountess' blood, allowing them to utilize his powers for communication.

   Due to owning a piece of the Watchman Series, Gountess is able to mass produce these chokers.

Thought is a mysterious power source, “Thought” accumulates and turns into energy, an anima that causes various phenomena, Trash Beasts are formed from the trash thrown down from the Sphere which causes “Thought” to accumulate giving them life which is one of the phenomena caused by thought, Since they’re powered by thought, they can only be defeated by an object with a thought too such as a Vital Instrument.
