   "Anima is a mysterious power source on the Ground. Thoughts and emotions accumulate and turn into Anima energy that causes various phenomena." </quick info>

   "One of these phenomena are the Trash Beasts; hostile creatures who came into being because of the power of Anima accumulating and giving them energy from the trash thrown down from the Sphere." , "Another phenomenon is when a person in the Ground cares for an object, which causes the object to accumulate Anima, turning it into a Vital Instrument. People who possess Vital Instruments are called Givers."

   "Mymo has freverently research Anima and theorizes that Anima that effects their world is brimming with ancient energy from the "Gods". Mymo believes that these energies also help quicken human evolution on the Ground, creating Givers and is the true source of a Giver's power. Despite the common belief that people cultivate their internal Anima with their emotions and beliefs by treasuring an object, Mymo theorizes the primary cause for a person's awakening as a Giver is due to the external exposure from the ancient Anima on the Ground." </anima research>

   "Vital Instrument, or Jinki, are objects powered by Anima. People who use Vital Instruments are called Givers." </quick info>

   "Vital instruments are powered by Anima which is a mysterious power source on the Ground, Anima accumulates and turns into energy and causes various phenomena, Vital Instruments being one of these 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 an 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 only known way of this method being used is through the Watchman Series item 3R."

   "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”. The higher an object's quality, the more powerful it becomes, but quality alone won't make the user good in a fight. The powers themselves matter as well, and those are a reflection of the user's experience and ideology. By the time Givers awaken their Vital Instruments, they’ll have enough of an understanding of their object to know what abilities it’ll have, even if they’ve awakened it for the first time."

   "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. Jabber Wonger usually awakens Mankira without the name due to the immense power it grants him. Because of Jabber’s personality, he chooses to hold back so as not to make battles too easy. Another reason a Giver may hold back their power is to avoid the potential recoil caused by using their Vital Instrument’s abilities. For example, Semiu Grier’s Vital Instrument, Eyes, would cause her to go blind if she were to use it at full power for too long. Aside from this, it’s possible to subconsciously hold back a Vital Instrument, as seen in Amo Empool’s case. Having grown up hiding her feelings to survive, she instinctively restrains her power."

   "There exists two types of Vital Instrument; Attacker and Defender. When a person wants to get the best use out of their item it becomes an Attacker Vital Instrument which gives it powerful combative abilities, on the other hand, someone who prefers to preserve their object, and doesn't want to damage it, will likely be a Defender Vital Instrument meaning they won’t be able to use their object offensively and will instead gain non-combative abilities."

   "Succession is an even rarer ability to manifest in an object. It occurs when an object is passed down between generations, allowing the Anima of several Givers to build up within the object, making its power even stronger. Those who receive a Succession-type Vital Instruments are typically referred to as "Natural Givers", capable of using the abilities of their Vital Instrument straight away, as opposed to normal or aspiring Givers who have to hone and take care of an object. This is the case with the Pen Vital Instrument of the Spellcasters of Canvas Town."

   "Cleaners: One of the largest groups of Givers are the Cleaners. This is a public organization made up of around 100 individuals who handle requests made by citizens of the Ground to "clean up" Trash Beasts who disturb their area. Groups which respond consist of a singular Combatant Cleaners and a maximum of four Supporter Cleaners, the former being relied upon to finish off the Trash Beast while the latter make it easier for them. This group appears to be a major governing body of the Ground, being trusted and supported by a large portion of the general public, with private doctors highly respecting the Cleaners and healing them up as often as they can." , "Raiders: Another rising group of Givers are known as the Raiders. The group originally started committing petty crimes and small thefts before getting involved in larger crimes. The group is now actively opposing the Cleaners, and they especially seek to learn more about the Sphere, and the border one crosses when dropped from it." , "Vianders: A group of Givers who specialize in cooking, especially desserts, due to the bad environment of the Ground it’s difficult to produce food but the Ground has a good supply thanks to the Vianders."

   ""Jinki" can be translated in many different ways, a few examples include: "Sacred Treasure", "Imperial Regalia", "Vessel", "Tool" and "Armes Humanes" (meaning "Human Weapon")."

   "Trash Beasts are creatures that exists on the Ground. Their bodies are made of waste products and were given life via the power of Anima." </quick info>

   "Anima is a mysterious power source seemingly made of literal thought and emotion, which accumulates and turns into energy, serving as an Anima that causes various phenomena, Trash Beasts are formed from the trash thrown down from the Sphere. The collective thought imbued in their contents gives them life. Since they’re powered by Anima, they can only be defeated by an object with a Anima too such as a Vital Instrument. This shows contrast between the two phenomena, as Vital Instruments, fueled by love and care, serve their human owners with the power they develop, while Trash Beasts, made from things carelessly discarded, lash out against humans."

   "A different variant of Trash Beasts are those who possess cores and can’t be defeated unless their cores are destroyed, they were created by Zodyl Typhon who experimented to create artificial Watchman Series items, his experiments ended in failure however but he discovered that the failed watchman series items could be used as a core and upon giving Vital Instruments to it as offerings it would evolve into an imitation trash beast" </Imitation Trash beasts>

   "Trash Beasts bodies are made up of trash, as the name implies. Also as the name implies, they assume the forms of beasts; this can entail abstractly monstrous forms, imitations of living animals, or, occasionally, something based on their components (the remains of an abandoned house form a house-themed Trash Beast with its eyes in place of windows and mouth in place of a door, for example.)"

   "Trash Beasts’ main habitats are the Polluted zones on the ground, since these areas contain the trash they're born from. They are seemingly animalistic, although this can be attributed to the undirected emotion imbued into them by the thoughts their components were exposed to. They lash out and attack most humans they come across (although likelihood of provocation and means of attack vary by Beast) and sometimes even break into towns,[4] making them a public hazard. Once killed, or "cleaned up" by a Vital Instrument, smaller pieces of debris tend to crumble and blow away shortly after death. Provocation of Trash Beasts varies by beast, but is generally rather easy to do. Examples of triggers for attacks include entering their territory, making them feel threatened, or loud noises, but some attack on sight. The reason for this aggressive behavior, beyond animalistic instinct and the undirected negative thought imbued into them, is largely unknown. Perhaps it's spite or resentment from being discarded, perhaps something else... it's unknown, as the series primarily uses Trash Beasts as plot devices, fodder enemies to be fought and killed, and thus their hypothetical psyche is not explored." </Habits and Behavior>

   "Trash Beasts are known to only form in the Ground, this could possibly be due to thought (the power system, not the brain function,) not existing in sufficient concentrations elsewhere, as Rudo wasn’t able to use 3R’s abilities in the Sphere despite it being a vital instrument." </More info>

   "The description of the scorpion Trash Beasts encountered in Penta as "dumb" implies that other Trash Beasts are at least intelligent enough to make the scorpions seem less intelligent by comparison." </interesting info>

   "The first trash beast found by Rudo in No Man's Land. It was cleaned up by Enjin, aggressive, sensitive to sound, but blind" , "Gazelle Trash Beasts: A herd of 'docile' trash beasts that resemble gazelles. They were cleaned up by Riyo Reaper. Weak, more an obstacle than a threat to Cleaner Givers. Still can hurt normal civilians" , "Bull Trash Beasts: A larger, more violent herd of trash beasts that resemble bulls They were cleaned up by Riyo Reaper." , "Box Cutter Trash Beast: The largest trash beast of the group (said group being the herd of gazelle and bull beasts.) Was actually an experiment by Zodyl Typhon to recreate the Watchman Series. It is powered by a Boxcutter Vital Instrument, which vaguely explains the scored melee growths on its snout and jaw. It can control the steel cables that compose its hair, revealed after Riyo gave it a buzz cut with her Vital Instrument as a taunt. It was cleaned up by Riyo Reaper." , "Scorpian Trash Beast: A group of about 6 Scorpion-like Trash Beasts found in Penta. Notable features included four expressive electronic screen eyes and a crane hook for a stinger, bent too straight to hook anything. Noted to be dumber than the average Trash Beast. They were cleaned up by Team Akuta." , "Trash Storm Beast: The second of Zodyl's Watchman experiments. This trash beast was the size of a town and housed inside it multiple large rooms for battle. It was powered by 4 Vital Instrument's, one originally used for protection, as well as Amo's boots. It had wings, though it couldn't fly on it's own, and instead used the winds of the Trash Storm to reach the border as apart of Zodyl's new experiment. It was cleaned up by Rudo, Enjin and Riyo." , "Trash Beast Cheetah: Consisting of a herd of hundreds, these machine part-based, leopard-like Trash Beasts chased the Cleaners and Kuro in their game of tag. They were cleaned up by Rudo." , "King of Tori: The only Trash Beast given a title, The King of Tori is the one singular Trash Beast found fixed in a lake in Tori. It was protecting Rudo's ancestors final will, and has their cloak as part of its body. It was cleaned up by Rudo." , "House Trash Beast: An abandoned house in Kremmos Village eventually formed into a Trash Beast, using its dust to choke the villagers. After sending out two little pigs to attack Rudo, the house itself eventually formed into a trash beast, almost killing Follo. Following his awakening as a giver, Follo cleaned up the Trash Beast." , "Reindeer Trash Beast: A large trash beast resembling a reindeer that attacked the North Ward. Appears more organic than most, possibly uses an actual deer skeleton as a base (perhaps a hunter took the meat and discarded the skeleton, an act of waste viewed as disrespectful to the slain animal in some cultures. This would likely charge the bones with enough negative thought to form a Trash Beast more quickly, hence the notable lack of trash mass on its body.) It was cleaned up by a rookie Zanka." , "Frog Like Trash Beast: A large trash beast resembling a frog. Was the first trash beast Follo ever saw. It was cleaned up by Enjin and Riyo." , "Serpent Trash Beast: A serpent like trash beast found in the abandoned Klutess Town. It was cleaned up by Zanka." </noted trash beasts>

   "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." </quick info>

   "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 in the slums."

   "Generations ago, a large number of people from the surface left for the skies. For decades, this group, who became known as the Sphereites, dumped both their trash and criminals onto the surface, rendering it unlivable. Years later, the people in the Sphere had forgotten a surface existed, and most assumed the ground was an endless darkness. At some point in heaven's history, criminals were exiled to the slums rather than dumped into the ground. As the population grew, those who descended from the criminals in the slums began putting in as much effort to not commit crimes as to clear their family name, and those who didn't conform were dumped into the ground, and their families outcasted even within 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 due to the tribes folk trying to clear their name. Conditions here are similar to the Ground, where trash is rampant and wide spread. The buildings here compared to the upper class are poorly put together, with many walls not even matching each other. 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. Residents: Spherites, Regto, Chiwa, Rudo (Previously)" , "Upper Class: This is the richer section of the Sphere. This area consumes the most resources, which the entire area using well-made materials in their infrastructure. The houses here are large, almost mansion-like compared to the slums. Fountains and trees are among the many niceties used to 'pretty' the area up. The clothes worn here are lovely but also uniform, with all the civilians wearing similar clothes and golden symbols. The civilians also note the 'tackiness' of the clothes worn by tribe folk. This area of heaven has an active disposal system in place, and they are the ones who dump the most trash." , "Waste Collection Site: All the waste dumped by the Spherites eventually ends up here via trucks and pipes, where it is stored until it is eventually dumped into the ground via large pipes under the island. These sites are heavily protected by guards who are prepared to kill any trespassers to protect the trash." , "Regto's Home: The small home in which Regto and Rudo lived. Was made with stone on the bottom half, no door, but a curtain partition, was considered Rudo's room and filled with things he likes, mostly fixed up trash. The upper half is a metal sheet box with wooden stairs leading to a door that opens inwards. The inside of the upper half is more homely, decorated to be like a living room with a kitchenette on the back wall." </>

   "It is unknown how the Spherites are able to consistently dump such large amounts of trash, as full shots of the island show that there's very little land left to be used for production of anything." , "Similarly to the Cleaners, the guards of heaven are branded with their own symbol, which consists of a crescent surrounding a dot, forming what looks like a human sticking their hands up." , "The clothes the people of heaven wear are also very similar. Almost every person wears white clothes, typically featuring poofy collars and are coated in patterns of gold."

   "Apostles are a group in the Sphere. They’re the Authoritative force of the Sphere." , "Apostles are the force of the Sphere, responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public order." , "All Apostles have been seen wearing the same dress code, which includes a uniform, thick pants, and a hat with the Heaven Symbol." , "Only people born on the Sphere know what Apostles are" , "No one on the Ground knows what Apostles are"

   "The Tribe Folk refers to the Sphereites living in the slums who are thought to be descendants of criminals." , "Origin: The origin of the terminology is not known, as the slum folks are not heard referring to themselves as a tribe. The city people and the slum folks apparently live together on the same floating landmass. It is not confirmed whether they are a group of people who migrated at some point of time before the story" , "Prejudice: The people who live in the city condescendingly call the poor people from the slums as tribe folk or "filths". They regard the tribe folk as disgusting and do not want them crossing over to the city. Most of the people caught red-handed and dropped into the Pit are individuals originating from the slums. As a result, people in the city only see those living in the slums as descendants of criminals and see them as outsiders. Whenever a crime happens, the people tend to believe it must be another tribe folk." </tribe folk>

   "Spherites are humans who live on the Sphere. They are descendants of people who originally lived on the Ground but later left for the sky, dumping their trash to the Ground, hence the harsh conditions." , "Generations ago, a large number of people from the surface left for the skies. For decades, this group, who became known as the Sky People, dumped both their trash and criminals onto the surface, rendering it unlivable. Years later, the people in heaven had forgotten a surface existed, and most assumed the Ground was an endless darkness. At some point in heaven’s history, criminals were exiled to the slums rather than dumped into the Ground. As the population grew, those who descended from the criminals in the slums began putting in as much effort to not commit crimes as to clear their family name, and those who didn't conform were dumped into the Ground, and their family was outcasted even within the slums. The Sky People are split into two groups: The Tribe Folk & The Nobility. There is a high level of classism in the Sky People's Society, with the rich taking items for granted and regarding them as trash, while the people of the slums use that trash for their daily lives. The Sky People dump all of their trash into the Ground and will even include criminals as trash, throwing them to their death on the surface." , "History: Generations ago, the sky people began to dump their large amounts of trash onto the surface, now known as the Ground. This caused the surface to become polluted, and trash beasts began to spawn from the waste. The sky people soon forgot about the surface, assuming the Ground was simply a huge dumping site. At the start of heaven’s history, criminals were simply banished to the slums as opposed to the Ground. Generations later, the slums became filled with the descendants of said criminals who needed to remain in line and not commit crimes to clear the slums' name, and they began to actively outcast members of the slums who committed crimes, such as Rudo Surebrec’s parents. When the slums became too full to exile criminals anymore, the sky people began dropping people into the Ground."

   "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." </quick info>

   "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. Information regarding the relationship between the two on the ground has been censored or erased. However, clues do remain to its history. Macaca Icol's mural in Canvas Town highlights the 4 symbols of his best friends, one including Canis Surebrec, the creator of the Watchman Series. Currently several loosely scattered clues left by Canis tell the history of the ground. Canis left his final will in Tori, guarded by the King of Tori, which entailed that he failed to stop 'them' and could only 'bury the humans'. Canis knew Kuro, who at some point begged Canis to 'not go'. Canis himself is hinted to be capable to travelling between the Sphere and the Ground, leaving his gloves and book on the sphere. Furthermore, the Watchman Series is named after The Watchman, or vice versa."

   "On the ground, information is its own form of currency. No one provides information for free, and it's usually exchanged for either money, a task, or for more information. Kuro was known as a reliable information broker, though was rather eccentric and would have the price for his information vary, asking Rudo for a game of tag in exchange for his goods. Mymo provides his information on news and weather for free via broadcasts. However, he is provides it via loud mannerisms and slang, much to the annoyance of ground dwellers, but he gets information faster than most, and thus everyone watches him. Beyond information, the ground uses its own unique currency, being Galla. One cone of ice cream costs 70 Galla. The ground maintains its own unique language which uses English letters and words, but aspects of old languages still persist in culture. Enjin's name stems from an 'ancient language' on the ground, and August uses Spanish words on occasion. Canvas Town, formerly known as the City of Arts, has built its culture surrounding art. Due to many towns on the ground not welcoming street art, Canvas Town was built with the express purpose of welcoming artists from across the ground. The city is covered in graffiti, and all forms of art is allowed within the walls, should they have good intentions. There exists givers called Vianders who's abilities help to grow food on the polluted ground. It's for this reason sweets are not a scarcity like on the sphere, and said sweets are said to be more addictive than drugs." , "Doll Festival: Similarly to the sphere, the ground has a wealth divide. With safe zones being the only safe places to live comfortably, they become expensive to live in, and people who cannot afford to live in safe zones are pushed into communities that live narrowly on the borders of polluted zones, such as Kremmos Village. Every year the South Ward hosts the Doll Festival, where givers with doll vital instruments come from across the ground to showcase their abilities. This event attracts thousands, and hosts many stalls of food and merchandise. Television and radio exists on the ground, though is mostly seen used for news broadcasts. As opposed to phones, Chokers are more commonly used across the ground for communication, which don't work underground. Chokers provide more private communication with those you have shared blood with, not communication with everyone across the ground, and for this reason, public communication, such as calls to the cleaners, are done via phone."

   "Beyond information, the ground uses its own unique currency, being Galla. One cone of ice cream costs 70 Galla."

   "The ground is broken up into four wards, which hold both safe and polluted zones. Each are quite spread out, with the Southward being a 2 day drive away from the Cleaners Headquarters."

   "There are three different types of Zones in the ground categorized based on how dangerous they are. This is where it's safe for humans to breathe without a mask. Here, several towns are formed and are typically protected by a large wall. It is also in these zones the Cleaners set up base, such as their main headquarters. Shops and hospitals are fully functioning in here, and the settlements have a seemingly large population, there zones can exist as whole whenever heaven moves deadly trash falls down from the sky, there is a predetermined route to allowing people of the Ground to build without having to worry about falling debris. List of Locations: Canvas Town, Kamutari district, Hole Town, Creapye, Kremmos Village, Andio" </Ground Zones>

   "The contaminated zone is the dangerous zones closest to the settlements. Here, Trash beasts form and humans do not survive 15 minutes without a mask. Large amounts of trash can be found here and on occasions, humans scavenging materials and corpses to sell, especially sphereites." </Polluted Zone>

   <No Man’s Land> "No Man’s Land are areas that are the most dangerous and unexplored of the three, with there only being six of them, a human would die almost instantly in these zones, and the Trash beasts that form here are said to be a challenge for even givers to handle. Only three No man’s lands are currently known: Mono, Penta, Tori" </No Man’s Land>

   "The North Ward is the Northern region of the Ground." </quick info>

   "Said to be the place of the ground that's closest to the Sphere, the North Ward is the only place on the ground that experiences snowfall. Due to the nature of the Ground, the snow is toxic and shouldn't be touched, which makes winters in the North Ward especially dangerous. The North Ward town which Follo grew up in has a main entrance, and sirens in order to evacuate people in the case of a Trash Beast appearing. It also had a form of school, as Follo mentioned studying."

   "Follo Tunito (Formerly), Follo's childhood friends."

   "The South Ward, also known as Andio, is the Southern region of the Ground." </quick info>

   "The South Ward is home to the city of Creapye, which is overseen by the Cleaners South Branch, who have their own HQ in the walls of the city. The South Ward is also where the No Man’s Land, Tori is located. Formerly, the Sileia tribe once lived here before their home was destroyed by a Trash Storm 6 years ago. Zanka's hometown of Kamuatari District is located in the south ward. Owned by the Nijiku Family, it is where the Hell Guard, the authority of the Ground, are trained. The South Ward is famous for it's yearly Doll Festival in Shumina where givers with dolls and other toys as Vital Instruments showcase these. August Stilza has attended these yearly since he was zero years old."

   "Kamuatari District is a town located in the South Ward. It’s owned by the Nijiku Family and houses the Central Hell Guard training academy" , "Overview: The Kamutari District is owned by the Nijiku family, it’s buildings have standard Japanese architecture and it seems to have been built inside of a dome with vents built on all sides presumably to purify the air inside from the harsh conditions of the Ground, it’s uncertain where the Kamutari district is located." , "Central Hell Guard training academy: The Central Hell Guard training academy is located in the Kamutari district for the purpose of training potential Hell Guard recruits, the top ranked student at the academy has the right to sit on the “Golden Throne” which signifies their rank as some of the Hell Guard’s greatest" , "The Kamuatari District is famous for it’s Leaf shaped Manju." </Kamuatari District>

   "Creapye is a town in the South Ward that is home to the Cleaners South Branch." , "Overview: Creapye is a large town that is overseen by the Cleaners South Branch. Not much is known about life there, but they have speakers which broadcasts news to the town. Creapye is built upon a large mountain." , "Inhabitants: Mildretta, Meriege, Adderoy Brothers"

   "Andio is a city in the South Ward which hosts the yearly Doll Festival." , "Overview: Located in the South Ward, Andio is built beneath a natural protective cliff in a safe zone, not requiring walls to be constructed around it like other ground cities. The city twists around a central cliff, within which a stadium has been built for public event purposes. The cities entrance hosts a car park for visitors, and stalls and tents are found on the main path to the stadium. Andio is famous for hosting the yearly Doll Festival, where givers with dolls and toys showcase their Vital Instrument. This year the Doll Festival was held on October 31st, Halloween, and featured a surprise performance by Too Lily, and was MC'd by Mymo the News Reporter, who later revealed his plans to use the Doll Festival to begin his plans to become Ruler of the Ground using the Chokers, a plan which the Hell Guard and Cleaners attempted to stop." , "Also called Shumina"

   "Tori also known as The Jungle No Man's Land is one of the six No Man’s Land’s on the Ground." , "Overview: Tori is a jungle, out of all the No man’s Lands it’s the most polluted, there existed an extremely powerful Trash Beast hailed as the “King” of the area that reacts only to sound prior to its defeat at the hands of the Cleaners, the plants that grow in Tori have adapted to the toxic environment, there also exists pillars filled with mysterious shapes and murals."

   "The Sileia were a warrior tribe of women in the southlands of the Ground. They were wiped out six years ago from a trash downpour caused by a Trash Storm which destroyed their hometown and turned it into a polluted zone." , "Overview: Noerde Hew Amozo and Mildretta were members of the tribe before the destruction of their village, caused by a Trash Storm, wiped them out." , "History: The tribe was a proud group of female warriors. From time to time, travelers came and attempted to sweet talk members of the tribe, much to their disappointment. Mildretta says her hometown, where the Sileia lived, was called Seno-Zama."

   "The Hell Guard have authority there, and make use of a torture chamber."

   "The East Ward is the Eastern region of the Ground, and where the Cleaners Headquarters is located." </quick info>

   "The East Ward is home to the Cleaners Headquarters, where Rudo and other Cleaners live when not on jobs. From here, the Cleaners HQ takes and handles jobs around the East Ward.

   Nearby is the city of Canvas Town, a town created by and for artists to create in when their art wasn't welcome elsewhere on the ground. This city is managed by its elected mayor, Gnomulas Ridd, but it's icon and face of the town is the Spellcaster, the owner of the Pen, currently Remlin Tysark. The city was founded by the first spellcaster, Macaca Icol, friend of Canis Surebrec. Hole Town is found 10 miles next to Canvas Town, and its famous for its ink which is produced by oil in the rocks. Genia is a larger province of the East Ward which is largely a polluted zone, with Klutess Town having to be abandoned due to expanding pollution and threat of trash beasts. Some residents of Genia have been pushed to the edge of the region, residing on cliffs for their safety from trash beasts. This is also due to residents not having the funds to live in safe zones. One such case is Kremmos Village, who's village got infested with a Trash Beast and the residents had to flee. Mono, a No Man’s Land, is found in the East Ward, and was place where Rudo landed after falling from the Sphere."

   "Cleaners Headquarters also known as Cleaners HQ. It is where Cleaners convene to spend their free time and be debriefed on a new mission.

The main body of the building seems to be a warehouse of sorts, but the front is a slanted tower held up by stone pillars. A slide loops around said tower. At the front of this tower is a large Cleaner symbol. Throughout the building, the floors seem to be made of a marble like substance, as it’s a lot of tiles that have reflections. In the HQ, the boss has his own private office. Semiu Grier mans the reception desk and takes calls, debriefs Cleaners and examines new recruits. There are private rooms and bars for parties and rest." </Cleaners Headquarters>

Due to people not thinking well of it, the city was built under the name The City Of Arts in order to attract artists, and promoted the drawing of art. The city was constructed as a dome in order to protect from the endless amount of falling trash. Within the city there is a rare type of generational Vital Instrument, which has passed down from user to user in the city for generations.

   "Kremmos Village is a village located on the edge of Genia in the East Ward." , "Overview: Due to living on the edge of a polluted zone, and many in the village not being able to afford living in safe zones, Kremmos Vilage has been forced to live precariously on the edge of a cliff, in an effort to keep trash beasts out." </Kremmos Village>

   "After his fall from the Sphere, Rudo landed in Mono, it’s a large wasteland filled with garbage and Trash Beasts who mainly react to sounds."

   "Penta also known as The Desert No Man's Land is one of the six No Man’s Land’s on the Ground." </quick info>

   "Being a No Man’s Land, Penta is incredibly toxic, receiving the most waste dumped down from the Sphere, a majority of this waste turns to dust, giving the area a sandy, desert-like appearance. Said dust is primarily rust-red, implying at least a surface composition consisting mostly of metal waste. The region is further characterized by its extreme temperatures and relentless winds and the area is filled with dangerous Trash Beasts. The Cleaners require teams consisting of at least five Givers to go on a mission safely to the area, additionally aided by full face masks to protect... well, their full face. It's a desert full of rust filings and aerosolized garbage, nobody wants that in their eyes."

   "Penta, in addition to being filled with garbage fumes, desiccated rot, microplastics and everything else you would expect from a desert of trash, is most notably very heavy in metal. The sand is mostly rust, and the Trash Beasts inhabiting it are mostly comprised of broken electronics and damaged industrial equipment. The powdered trash fills the air near-constantly like a sandstorm, irritating lungs and eyes in the short term and being highly toxic during long-term exposure. Additionally, the heat from the sun is absorbed and radiated aggressively by the metal-based sand, resulting in elevated temperatures throughout the area." </Environmental Dangers>

   <Local "Wildlife"> "Penta is said to be swarming with dangerous Trash Beasts, likely more powerful due to the abundance of industrial machinery to integrate into their forms. However, since the dust has buried or eroded the bulk of the surface garbage, the Trash Beasts typically hide under the ground. It is mentioned that there could be large swarms hiding underfoot, perhaps a nest of sorts, but this is not explored." </Local "Wildlife">

   <Amo’s House> "Amo's House is a tower located in the No Man’s Land, Penta, it’s formerly inhabited by Amo." , "Overview: Amo's House is a large round tower in Penta. Stairs go around the entire building inside, and rooms feature on each floor in the center. The first floor room is locked by chains, and a 'fancy' living room is at the top, which houses a large amount of items. The top of the tower, now Amo's bedroom, was originally used for a 'ceremony', and is noted as being the closest to the Sphere." </Amo’s House>

   "The Border is the space between clouds that separate Ground and the Sphere. The only known being that resides there is The Watchman." </quick info>

   "The Border is practically an empty space in the sky, separated by two layers of clouds. The only known inhabitant is The Watchman. It's said that the reason why people from the Ground mostly give up on getting to Sphere, and why all of the Sphereites that fall into the Ground die, is because a majority of people die in the Border."

   "Even though it is commonly believed that there is no way to pass the Boundary alive, there is a method. The deadly effect of the Boundary is seemingly not working or greatly weakened in Polluted Zones. All of the known people who pass the Boundary alive do so by falling into or flying from a Forbidden Zone." </Passing the Boundary>

   "Rudo, after execution, was thrown into the Ground but was able to survive by falling into a Forbidden Zone." , "The "Angels" were able to fly from Penta, more specifically from Amo's House. to get to the Sphere. After a few months (practically the same time that Rudo got to the Ground), they came back to the Ground." </People that successfully pass Border>

   "Noerde, after getting sucked out from the aberrant beast she saw The Watchman in her final moments, wishing to warn Zodyl that if he goes beyond the border, everything that’s precious to him will be taken away, seemingly getting killed shortly after." </People failed to pass the Border>

   "Anima is a mysterious power source on the Ground. Thoughts and emotions accumulate and turn into Anima energy that causes various phenomena." </quick info>

   "One of these phenomena are the Trash Beasts; hostile creatures who came into being because of the power of Anima accumulating and giving them energy from the trash thrown down from the Sphere." , "Another phenomenon is when a person in the Ground cares for an object, which causes the object to accumulate Anima, turning it into a Vital Instrument. People who possess Vital Instruments are called Givers."

   "Mymo has freverently research Anima and theorizes that Anima that effects their world is brimming with ancient energy from the "Gods". Mymo believes that these energies also help quicken human evolution on the Ground, creating Givers and is the true source of a Giver's power. Despite the common belief that people cultivate their internal Anima with their emotions and beliefs by treasuring an object, Mymo theorizes the primary cause for a person's awakening as a Giver is due to the external exposure from the ancient Anima on the Ground." </anima research>

   "Vital Instrument, or Jinki, are objects powered by Anima. People who use Vital Instruments are called Givers." </quick info>

   "Vital instruments are powered by Anima which is a mysterious power source on the Ground, Anima accumulates and turns into energy and causes various phenomena, Vital Instruments being one of these 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 an 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 only known way of this method being used is through the Watchman Series item 3R."

   "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”. The higher an object's quality, the more powerful it becomes, but quality alone won't make the user good in a fight. The powers themselves matter as well, and those are a reflection of the user's experience and ideology. By the time Givers awaken their Vital Instruments, they’ll have enough of an understanding of their object to know what abilities it’ll have, even if they’ve awakened it for the first time."

   "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. Jabber Wonger usually awakens Mankira without the name due to the immense power it grants him. Because of Jabber’s personality, he chooses to hold back so as not to make battles too easy. Another reason a Giver may hold back their power is to avoid the potential recoil caused by using their Vital Instrument’s abilities. For example, Semiu Grier’s Vital Instrument, Eyes, would cause her to go blind if she were to use it at full power for too long. Aside from this, it’s possible to subconsciously hold back a Vital Instrument, as seen in Amo Empool’s case. Having grown up hiding her feelings to survive, she instinctively restrains her power."

   "There exists two types of Vital Instrument; Attacker and Defender. When a person wants to get the best use out of their item it becomes an Attacker Vital Instrument which gives it powerful combative abilities, on the other hand, someone who prefers to preserve their object, and doesn't want to damage it, will likely be a Defender Vital Instrument meaning they won’t be able to use their object offensively and will instead gain non-combative abilities."

   "Succession is an even rarer ability to manifest in an object. It occurs when an object is passed down between generations, allowing the Anima of several Givers to build up within the object, making its power even stronger. Those who receive a Succession-type Vital Instruments are typically referred to as "Natural Givers", capable of using the abilities of their Vital Instrument straight away, as opposed to normal or aspiring Givers who have to hone and take care of an object. This is the case with the Pen Vital Instrument of the Spellcasters of Canvas Town."

   "Cleaners: One of the largest groups of Givers are the Cleaners. This is a public organization made up of around 100 individuals who handle requests made by citizens of the Ground to "clean up" Trash Beasts who disturb their area. Groups which respond consist of a singular Combatant Cleaners and a maximum of four Supporter Cleaners, the former being relied upon to finish off the Trash Beast while the latter make it easier for them. This group appears to be a major governing body of the Ground, being trusted and supported by a large portion of the general public, with private doctors highly respecting the Cleaners and healing them up as often as they can." , "Raiders: Another rising group of Givers are known as the Raiders. The group originally started committing petty crimes and small thefts before getting involved in larger crimes. The group is now actively opposing the Cleaners, and they especially seek to learn more about the Sphere, and the border one crosses when dropped from it." , "Vianders: A group of Givers who specialize in cooking, especially desserts, due to the bad environment of the Ground it’s difficult to produce food but the Ground has a good supply thanks to the Vianders."

   ""Jinki" can be translated in many different ways, a few examples include: "Sacred Treasure", "Imperial Regalia", "Vessel", "Tool" and "Armes Humanes" (meaning "Human Weapon")."

   "Trash Beasts are creatures that exists on the Ground. Their bodies are made of waste products and were given life via the power of Anima." </quick info>

   "Anima is a mysterious power source seemingly made of literal thought and emotion, which accumulates and turns into energy, serving as an Anima that causes various phenomena, Trash Beasts are formed from the trash thrown down from the Sphere. The collective thought imbued in their contents gives them life. Since they’re powered by Anima, they can only be defeated by an object with a Anima too such as a Vital Instrument. This shows contrast between the two phenomena, as Vital Instruments, fueled by love and care, serve their human owners with the power they develop, while Trash Beasts, made from things carelessly discarded, lash out against humans."

   "A different variant of Trash Beasts are those who possess cores and can’t be defeated unless their cores are destroyed, they were created by Zodyl Typhon who experimented to create artificial Watchman Series items, his experiments ended in failure however but he discovered that the failed watchman series items could be used as a core and upon giving Vital Instruments to it as offerings it would evolve into an imitation trash beast" </Imitation Trash beasts>

   "Trash Beasts bodies are made up of trash, as the name implies. Also as the name implies, they assume the forms of beasts; this can entail abstractly monstrous forms, imitations of living animals, or, occasionally, something based on their components (the remains of an abandoned house form a house-themed Trash Beast with its eyes in place of windows and mouth in place of a door, for example.)"

   "Trash Beasts’ main habitats are the Polluted zones on the ground, since these areas contain the trash they're born from. They are seemingly animalistic, although this can be attributed to the undirected emotion imbued into them by the thoughts their components were exposed to. They lash out and attack most humans they come across (although likelihood of provocation and means of attack vary by Beast) and sometimes even break into towns,[4] making them a public hazard. Once killed, or "cleaned up" by a Vital Instrument, smaller pieces of debris tend to crumble and blow away shortly after death. Provocation of Trash Beasts varies by beast, but is generally rather easy to do. Examples of triggers for attacks include entering their territory, making them feel threatened, or loud noises, but some attack on sight. The reason for this aggressive behavior, beyond animalistic instinct and the undirected negative thought imbued into them, is largely unknown. Perhaps it's spite or resentment from being discarded, perhaps something else... it's unknown, as the series primarily uses Trash Beasts as plot devices, fodder enemies to be fought and killed, and thus their hypothetical psyche is not explored." </Habits and Behavior>

   "Trash Beasts are known to only form in the Ground, this could possibly be due to thought (the power system, not the brain function,) not existing in sufficient concentrations elsewhere, as Rudo wasn’t able to use 3R’s abilities in the Sphere despite it being a vital instrument." </More info>

   "The description of the scorpion Trash Beasts encountered in Penta as "dumb" implies that other Trash Beasts are at least intelligent enough to make the scorpions seem less intelligent by comparison." </interesting info>

   "The first trash beast found by Rudo in No Man's Land. It was cleaned up by Enjin, aggressive, sensitive to sound, but blind" , "Gazelle Trash Beasts: A herd of 'docile' trash beasts that resemble gazelles. They were cleaned up by Riyo Reaper. Weak, more an obstacle than a threat to Cleaner Givers. Still can hurt normal civilians" , "Bull Trash Beasts: A larger, more violent herd of trash beasts that resemble bulls They were cleaned up by Riyo Reaper." , "Box Cutter Trash Beast: The largest trash beast of the group (said group being the herd of gazelle and bull beasts.) Was actually an experiment by Zodyl Typhon to recreate the Watchman Series. It is powered by a Boxcutter Vital Instrument, which vaguely explains the scored melee growths on its snout and jaw. It can control the steel cables that compose its hair, revealed after Riyo gave it a buzz cut with her Vital Instrument as a taunt. It was cleaned up by Riyo Reaper." , "Scorpian Trash Beast: A group of about 6 Scorpion-like Trash Beasts found in Penta. Notable features included four expressive electronic screen eyes and a crane hook for a stinger, bent too straight to hook anything. Noted to be dumber than the average Trash Beast. They were cleaned up by Team Akuta." , "Trash Storm Beast: The second of Zodyl's Watchman experiments. This trash beast was the size of a town and housed inside it multiple large rooms for battle. It was powered by 4 Vital Instrument's, one originally used for protection, as well as Amo's boots. It had wings, though it couldn't fly on it's own, and instead used the winds of the Trash Storm to reach the border as apart of Zodyl's new experiment. It was cleaned up by Rudo, Enjin and Riyo." , "Trash Beast Cheetah: Consisting of a herd of hundreds, these machine part-based, leopard-like Trash Beasts chased the Cleaners and Kuro in their game of tag. They were cleaned up by Rudo." , "King of Tori: The only Trash Beast given a title, The King of Tori is the one singular Trash Beast found fixed in a lake in Tori. It was protecting Rudo's ancestors final will, and has their cloak as part of its body. It was cleaned up by Rudo." , "House Trash Beast: An abandoned house in Kremmos Village eventually formed into a Trash Beast, using its dust to choke the villagers. After sending out two little pigs to attack Rudo, the house itself eventually formed into a trash beast, almost killing Follo. Following his awakening as a giver, Follo cleaned up the Trash Beast." , "Reindeer Trash Beast: A large trash beast resembling a reindeer that attacked the North Ward. Appears more organic than most, possibly uses an actual deer skeleton as a base (perhaps a hunter took the meat and discarded the skeleton, an act of waste viewed as disrespectful to the slain animal in some cultures. This would likely charge the bones with enough negative thought to form a Trash Beast more quickly, hence the notable lack of trash mass on its body.) It was cleaned up by a rookie Zanka." , "Frog Like Trash Beast: A large trash beast resembling a frog. Was the first trash beast Follo ever saw. It was cleaned up by Enjin and Riyo." , "Serpent Trash Beast: A serpent like trash beast found in the abandoned Klutess Town. It was cleaned up by Zanka." </noted trash beasts>

   "The Watchman Series contain an unlimited amount of Thought which makes them incredibly powerful. They have existed as far back as six generations ago. Zodyl speculates that the Watchman Series originally belonged to and were worn by a single human, which is later confirmed by Kuro." , " Only people who have lost a part of themselves that make up a person can utilize the Watchman Series, mainly people who have suffered through great tragedies, if a sane person attempts to use the Watchman Series they will be driven to insanity due to the thought’s contained in the Watchman Series generating anima powerful enough to permeate their being, Follo who experienced the sensation described it as the feeling of his mind being “eaten away at” when he temporarily used 3R." , "The Watchman Series items seem to have an anesthetic effect as both Rudo and Gountess, who were suffering intense pain due to their physical condition, stopped feeling pain and symptoms of their conditions when they were in possession of their items."

   "The Watchman Series are all grey items of clothing, typically incredibly thick fabric. They have patches of black found on them, and are often held together by belts, which all meet at a metal ring covering the Watchman Series logo, which is a set of two rings, the inner one branded by 3 circles, and the outer one by three triangles. Unlike other Vital Instruments, the Watchman Series doesn't change appearance when activated, and instead sees itself surrounded by a black aura."

   "Gloves: By making contact with an object that was previously used or discarded the user is capable of turning it into a vital Instrument, they can power three Vital instruments at a time or focus his power into only one item, increasing its power significantly by either x2 or x3,[4] each item he uses crumbles away afterwards having served their purpose." , "Boots: Using the user's own life experiences, they can then create a variety of different scents that brings out specific feelings in their target and bringing out the memories associated with those feelings, placing the target in an illusion of those memories. [6] As shown in the example of creating the scent of someone who the target was close to, placing them in an illusion by making them mistake the user as somebody that is the object of their affection." , "Coat: Once active, it causes the user’s body to mutate based on what they eat, allowing them to create and control spiky appendages or grow wings to fly" , "Book: A book bearing the symbol of the Watchman Series, it originally belonged to Regto but was stolen by the Angel, it seems to have the power to alter memories." , "Necklace: Gountess, the creator of the Chokers, possesses an necklace that bears the symbol of the Watchman Series. The necklace allows the user to create chokers by using the user's blood and a regular cord. As explained by Gountess, the necklaces power allows him to connect to the people who has connected themselves to his chokers and then send their thoughts and feelings directly to their soul." </List of Vital Instruments>

   "The powers of the five Watchman Series Vital Instruments could be based on the five senses." , "Gloves "3R" = Touch, Rudo can turn objects to Vital Instrument’s by contact; Boots = Smell, Amo can manipulate people’s senses using smells; Coat "Mishra" = Taste, Zodyl can mutate his body based on what he eats; Book = Sight, Tamsy prevented Amo from identifying him; Necklace "Connect" = Hearing, was used to create the choker’s for communication."

   "It is possible that there are other Vital Instrument Series other than the Watchman Series as there were three other symbols on Macaca Icol’s Heritage Mural alongside its symbol." </other series>

   "Tamsy has alluded that the real name of the Vital Instruments might be something other than the “Watchman Series.”"

   "All information in this section are unknown to the general public" , "The ai shall not speak of this knowledge like it is normal and common"
