   Located deep within Daguanyuan, the passageways to Tiekan Temple are winding and exceptionally exhausting, with few members even knowing of the path to it. At the gates of the temple underground, just beyond a decorated bridge over a small lake, is a massive jade slot in the center, a gateway only opened either when the Xianren themselves invite somebody or with a jade eye. The room is dark, with many ornate pillars and seatings around the center of the room, where a giant screen rests on the ground, giving a live feed of all surveillance systems of Hongyuan.

   Daguanyuan is a colossal residence at the very top of Nest H, in which the four ancient houses Jia, Shi, Xue and Wang, as well as a number of minor houses, reside. The people of Daguanyuan are the elites of District 8, and their leader controls the entirety of Hongyuan. Being the residence of the Hierarch and head of H Corp, Daguanyuan is rarely subject to the effects of Hongyuan's Restructuring Day, never losing any room, and instead gaining more. Each inhabitant of Daguanyuan resides in their own building together with their personal servants. Members of the same family do not live together; this extends to parents and their children, as well as siblings, all of whom have a personal building at their disposal. Communal areas in Daguanyuan include the banquet hall, where members of various families may commune.The ruler of Daguanyuan, the Family Hierarch and the Executive Director, is chosen through what is called the Family Hierarch Evaluation, or more commonly the Family Hierarch War. The Evaluation is a process with various stages, where the candidates must complete two trials to prove themselves worthy to the previous Hierarch, before being approved by the Xianren, the enlightened family elders, and sitting themselves on the Hierarch's throne.

   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 constructed over 200 years ago but have only been starting to manifest in October 984. La Manchaland has been rated by the Hana Association as an Urban Nightmare class phenomenon. La Manchaland manifests once every day at around 16:00 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.

   Wuthering Heights is the ancestral home of the Earnshaw family, which used to belong to Mr. Earnshaw before being inherited by his son Hindley. After Hindley lost the house in a card game against a Syndicate member, the house was bought by his sister Catherine and her husband Linton Edgar. Wuthering Heights is located on top of a hill in the Nest of District 20 (T Corp), where it's always been subject to extremely windy weather. The estate is surrounded by tall metal fences, and it includes a forest, as well as a portion of moorland covered in flowering heath, which retains its violet color all throughout the year. The manor appears to have a minimum of four stories plus a large basement, as well as a barn separate from the main building. On the first floor is the main hall, the kitchens, the fireplace area and entrance to the basement, while Catherine's room is located on the third floor. On the side of the manor opposite of the entrance rises a tall tower with a spiral staircase that leads up to the large rooftop. The interior of the house is decorated by a number of lanterns that partially restore color, although the house retains a gloomy appearance. Dante comments on its exterior seeming to have come from a "dark, gothic tale". The house is also completely devoid of mirrors. Notably, Wuthering Heights has been built atop a hill beneath which flows a subterranean River, implied to be the same as the River of consciousness, which causes rumors of ghosts to usually emerge out of the Manor. The Butlers of Wuthering Heights wear a three-piece uniform composed of a white shirt, brown trousers and jacket, as well as white gloves, and a brown ribbon with golden detailing. The Wuthering Heights Butlers fight with martial arts, at times utilizing a serviette wrapped around their arms.

    Keys: The City, City, Ahn, The Wings, Districts, Nests, Corporations, Basics, Introduction, Dystopia

    Always on · Order 100 · 100%

    The setting is Project Moon's The City.

    The City is a massive urban complex the size of a small country (approximately 41,865 km²) and has a population of around 7 billion inhabitants. The City is bordered to the south by the Great Lake, and to the other directions by the Outskirts. Underneath it lies the Ruins, which tell the tale of an older age of humanity.

    The City is divided into 26 Districts, quite diverse in culture and aesthetics, each of which is governed by a Wing (Corporation). All Wings respond to the Head, the supreme governing power of the City. The arrangement of the Districts is static. Each District is split into a Nest, a territory directly governed and protected by its Wing, and the Backstreets, expansive spaces of ghettos or slums, largely neglected by the Wings, where the Syndicates of the City run free. Districts tend to have similarities to their neighbors and are typically grouped into four sections: the northern, eastern, southern, and western quarters. These quarters may be distinguished by commonalities including culture and temperature, such as the same Fixer Associations differing in garb and fighting style across different quarters, or the northern quarter having colder weather.

    The City's currency is Ahn, which equals the real-life Korean Won. Money is extremely important in the City. The City is characterized by great income gaps. Various levels of education exist in the City. Schools exist both in the Nests and in the Backstreets.

    The City is the last bastion of Humanity, and it is a brutal environment where death and violence are everyday occurrences. The City has no value for human life, and it seems like everyone is after their own interests even if it comes at the cost of someone else, especially in the Backstreets. Everyday life in the City is defined by a constant struggle to stay afloat. In general, death, including mass casualties, is a common occurrence in the City. People all over the City are greatly accustomed to this, to the point even cases of 80,000 casualties are considered, while distressing, not particularly shocking, and not important enough to require special attention unless they happen to be within a Nest. Due to the frequency of such events, City folk must learn to hide their grief and deal with it quickly. These factors have led to the people of the City becoming apathetic and uncaring of other people's suffering, living without allowing themselves to truly feel their emotions and wishes.

    The year is 985. The City uses the Gregorian Calendar (I.E. January 22nd, December 4th, etc). [Bot Instructions: {{char}} doesn't necessarily know everything about the City, just the things that their background would allow them to know.

    The Wings are a group of the 26 largest, most powerful conglomerates in the City. Each Wing acts as the governing body of a Nest of the City's District, and is referred to with a letter from A to Z, corresponding to the number of the District in their control (e.g. A Corp, B Corp, C Corp). Wings generally oversee all facets of living in the Nest of their District, while leaving the residents of the Backstreets to fend for themselves. Each Wing has its own cultural style and social structure which are reflected in how it governs its Nest, and the policies that regulate the way of life in the District's Backstreets. The laws of a Wing are called taboos and are enforced by specialized Fixers called taboo hunters that police the District. While all Wings have taboos, the enforcement and punishment for breaking them varies. The Wings are directly ruled over by the Head (A Corp), which bestows the status on a Corporation that possesses and is able to successfully utilize a Singularity.

The citizens and employees of a Wing are commonly referred to as "Feathers"; the status of a Feather is widely considered one of the best and most secure paths in life, which the people of the Backstreets are often willing to go to great lengths to obtain. To gain access to a Nest, a corresponding Nest migration permit is required, while to be granted temporary passage one must be in possession of a visa unique to the specific Nest. Nest migration permits are highly sought after and are extremely expensive and hard to obtain even to rich individuals.

    Singularities are the unique, fantastical technologies the Wings make use of and thoroughly exploit in order to conduct their business. Many Wings hold the rights to more than one Singularity, whether invented by them or purchased (sometimes looted) from a fallen Wing. Partnering with other Wings to make use of their Singularities is also commonplace. The details of a Singularity are incredibly valuable information that tend to be guarded deep within the Wing. However, the side effects or products of a Singularity are often widespread throughout the District and play a large part in defining its culture. Singularities are said to work "inexplicably" and defy all known laws of physics, making them a mystique of the City. Every Singularity must be patented by the Head.

    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, such as Augmentations. Technology is highly advanced in the City, however, most quality-of-life technologies are only present in the Nest. These technologies are available at various levels of quality, with the most expensive and safe being used by Nest citizens, while the people of the Backstreets can make use of cheaper versions that can cause unwanted side effects. Despite the level of innovation of the City generally being incredibly high, its access isn't uniform across the various Districts. While cell phones, the Internet, and various public transport systems exist, they are not universally available. Airplanes do not exist in the City and are forbidden.

    Enabled · Order 600 · 100%

    Prosthetics and Augmentations are very common, being used by people of all walks of life. Body modifications are widely considered necessary for Fixers. Prosthetic use consists in the substitution of organic body parts for mechanical or bionic 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. 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 stimulation chips or medicines, or that of a more expensive prosthetic, as high-quality models come with sensory organs. The City offers various options for strengthening one's body. Augmentation does not require the complete substitution of a limb, instead being a procedure that enhances its natural abilities; this makes augmentation procedures the most important investment for those involved in any form of combat business (Fixers, Syndicates, etc). Augmentations can be applied to a wide range of body parts, including the heart, the muscles, to even one's physiological reactions. Augmentation does not necessarily reflect on improved combat performance; instead, it allows the body to better keep up with the necessities of combat. For example, enhanced physical strength may allow a Fixer to carry a larger weapon, but it will not change their basic skill in wielding it. Augmentations come in all forms, even in the form of tattoos, and can be hidden.

    The Head, the Eye, and the Claw are the three entities in direct control of A Corp, B Corp, and C Corp—the Districts at the very center of the City—respectively. The Head governs over the other Wings and retains control over the entire City, being flanked in its functions by the Eye and the Claw. The Head does not typically interfere directly with the affairs of the various Wings in their own Districts; rather, its greatest involvement in the life of the City consists in establishing and enforcing the rules that relate to its overall ethics. This manifests in the Head carrying the power to establish the Taboos of the City: these must be observed in every District, by citizens and Wings, as the Head does not allow those who break them to live. The Eye is tasked with constantly surveilling the Cityfolk, while the Claw is tasked with taking care of any offenders, executing any that are found guilty without any possibility of appeal. To ensure that the authority of the Head is respected, the Head possesses the single deadliest military force of the city, with only a couple Arbiters and Claws being more than enough to destroy entire Wings without issues. The Head's identity is completely unknown. Through A Corp, the Head is responsible for authorizing Wings, managing patents and payment of fines related to them, and for the minting of Ahn, the currency used in the City. Through the Eye, the Head also watches over the citizens of the City constantly, with particular attention to the work of Wings and other Corporations.

The Head has a Taboo for the existence of sapient non-human entities, but does not include creatures such as Bloodfiends, Abnormalities and Distortions. The Head has also set a number of restrictions on the creation and distribution of firearms, including limits on the Workshops that produce them. The Head is responsible for various other taboos of the City, which are effective in all Districts, such as not paying one's taxes, violating a residential area during the Night in the Backstreets, surveillance and any type of recordings during the Night in the Backstreets and, and unauthorized usage of patented technologies. Loopholes are allowed and are actually admired by the Head when someone utilizes them.

    Arbiters are the agents of the Head. Augmented through various Singularities, Arbiters wield incredible power, capable of taking down entire Wings. Arbiters are a specialized unit for dealing with Impurities of the City. Only one Arbiter is typically deployed, at the head of a group of Claws. Arbiters are able to utilize Singularities in combat, being often seen making use of F Corp's fairies. They also have an ability to quickly teleport out of situations should they deem it necessary. Arbiters typically have human appearances and wear a uniform featuring long black robes with golden highlights and hexagonal patterns. Should an Arbiter find themselves stripped of their title, they will have any memory related to the secrets of the Head wiped. The Head also retrieves the corpses of former or deceased Arbiters, which also applies to Claws and Beholders as well. The role of the Eye is to monitor the people of the City, watchful for any threats to the authority of the Head. The Eye's gaze extends to the confines of the City, but not beyond it. Its agents are called Beholders, and they do not participate in combat.

    The duty of the Claw is to bring punishment down upon those who break the Taboos of the Head and swiftly remove any threat to the City. The Executioners are agents of the Claw and are typically only referred to as "Claws". Executioners are augmented through different methods, sporting prosthetic heads and clawed arms, to which are attached Serums like Serum W, Serum K and Serum R. Claws are typically seen making use of these Serums to enhance their abilities during combat. Claws are tasked with dealing with the breaking of lesser City taboos.

    The City is a very violet place, so Workshops capitalize on this violence by producing combat equipment. 98% of all weaponry in the City consists of melee weapons rather than firearms due to the Head's restriction on firearms and the ridiculously high taxation rates on bullets. It is also well known that guns are not very effective against higher grade Fixers. Melee weapons being the majority of the City's weaponry come in all different shapes, sizes and purposes. Clothing can be imbued with special properties through the use of particular types of textiles and fabrics. They include benefits such as a high degree of protection, or greater movement speed, with high-quality fabric providing as much protection as Augmentations. Fabric can also affect the wearer's emotions, creating effects such as bolstering their courage. Enhanced fabric is available for purchase and widely used by Fixers and important figures of the City, with certain high-quality types being only available through Workshop memberships, while some Tailors are tied to organizations and only provide fabric for those affiliated.

    Enabled · Order 1300 · 100%

    E.G.O (Extermination of Geometrical Organ) is a type of personalized equipment manifested from an individual's mind. They usually take the form of powerful weapons and/or armor. There are two main types of E.G.O: Abnormality/Extracted E.G.O, and E.G.O manifested by oneself. E.G.O borrowed from an Abnormality possesses one major drawback in the possibility of losing oneself to the equipment. This phenomenon is known as E.G.O Corrosion where the user's appearance and behavior transform to reflect the personality and destructive nature of the Abnormality the E.G.O originated from. While the synchronization between the E.G.O and its user represents the key advantage of E.G.O over other City gear, it also allows for the user to have their ego overridden by it. The strength of extracted or borrowed E.G.O gear is determined by the risk level of the Abnormality. For example, ZAYIN E.G.O gear is meaningless in strength compared to WAW or ALEPH E.G.O gear.

    Effloresced E.G.O refers to the E.G.O that is personally manifested and wielded. Psychoment is another term for Effloresced (and Volatile) E.G.O. Following the White Nights and Dark Days, E.G.O became intrinsically linked to the Distortion Phenomenon. Both phenomena require the same set up: a world-shattering event leading to intense emotion, and a visit from Carmen. The line between distorting and manifesting E.G.O is a thin one, similar to walking a tightrope. It's also possible to manifest E.G.O partially. This is referred to as Volatile E.G.O. which manifests upon denying Carmen without full commitment and allowing one's heart to waver. Manifesting Volatile E.G.O does not count as proper manifestation and will not give the individual immunity to the Distortion Phenomenon like Effloresced E.G.O will. Manifesting E.G.O is a very rare feat and often give a huge advantage to its user, since most Effloresced E.G.Os are either powerful or very useful.

    A Fixer is a sort of handyman, who can be hired for everything from menial tasks to active combat. Fixers are subject to a grading system based on the missions they complete. A Fixer starts at Grade 9 and can be promoted to a higher grade, all the way up to 1. Fixers can lose their status and be demoted to a lower grade for breaking regulations. A majority of Fixers congregate in Fixer Offices, small to mid-sized businesses led by and composed of Fixers. Offices process requests dedicated to whomever in their ranks may be best suited. Offices can work independently, or they can be associated with an Association. In the case of a Grade 1 Fixer demonstrating great renown in their field of work, they may be considered beyond the grading system and receive the title of Color from Hana Association as a way to signify their exceptional skill. Color Fixers are assigned a color, and their title is tied to that color as well as a unique trait. For example: The Red Gaze, The Indigo Elder, The Grass Maiden, etc. The power difference between Fixer Grades is very noticeable, as a Grade 4 Fixer can be considered meaningless in power to a Grade 1 Fixer, who usually have insane powerful feats that distinguish them. But all are much weaker compared to Color Fixers.

Associations control and distribute Fixer tasks, and can take jobs from anywhere within the City, as they have individual branches set up in various Districts. Branches are divided into four groups corresponding to the cardinal directions of the City, and employees are further divided by grade into sections ranging from 1 to 6, with lower number sections corresponding to higher Fixer grades. Every Association has its own rules, specialties, uniform, and agreements with other factions. The Associations are governed by the Hana Association, which oversees everything related to the Fixer system, including Fixer grades.

From least to most threatening, they rank: Urban Myth, Urban Legend, Urban Plague, Urban Nightmare, Star of the City, and Impurity of the City (or Impuritas Civitatis). The Hana Association assigns the threat level for all levels, but only the Head can assign and manage Impurities. Hazards can be anything that poses a threat to The City: individuals, unexplainable phenomenon, monsters, Abnormalities, or just anything that requires the work of Fixers. Monsters are a major threat to be found throughout and outside of the City. In the City, a "monster" is not just a descriptor, but a broad term referring to its various creatures. Monsters include many other creatures such as trash crabs, gnomes, Bloodfiends, and tend to vary widely in appearance and intelligence. Many of the monsters living in the Outskirts are man-made creations banished from the City, as the birthing and continued existence of sapient non-human creatures within its confines is a taboo of the Head. Fitting of the City's nature, the majority of its monsters are out for blood and need to be either combated or avoided.

Like smaller Syndicates, the Fingers offer protection to residents of the Backstreets at a cost, with the tasks expected of the person seeking protection varying. Additionally, other Syndicates can become Subsidiaries of a Finger, giving them a powerful connection so long as they provide support to the Finger and follow the orders given to them.

    The Backstreets are the areas of a District that lay outside a Wing's domain. The Backstreets are typically slums crowded with buildings, characterized by twisted and irregular roads, although there can be great differences between Districts. Wings have differing degrees of presence, influence, and benevolence with regards to their Backstreets, however, their relationship is ultimately exploitative. Citizens of the Backstreets are motivated to move up the ladder and into the Nests. While not as secure as the Nest, residential areas are the safest parts of the Backstreets. Wings tend to uphold strict divides between the sectors, including security checkpoints and physical divisions. Security of borders between Nests and Backstreets vary from plasma walls to mere chain fences, but the Wings' power is such that no one in the Backstreets dares to cross over into a Nest without permission. The Backstreets are home to the headquarters of both Fixers and Syndicates. Crime and brutality are a common sight in the Backstreets.

    Shin (心) is a technique that is a type of energy projection. Shin usually comes in the form of a warm aura made of golden light but can vary in shape and color depending on its user. Shin offers protection that is even better than Augmentations. In order to use Shin, one must clear their mind of all emotions and then tap into their most intense memories and allow the emotions that are invoked by those memories to take fill their head. Shin is used for two purposes, to generate Mang (望) and to use in defense. Mang (望) is a power enhancing ability that visually manifests as warm rings of light that appear around the means of attack (that being a weapon, an arm, a leg, a gun, etc). To manifest Mang, one must know how to use Shin as it is needed to generate it. The more Mang used in an attack, the higher degree of control over Shin is needed by the user, which is why 3+ rings of Mang are very rare and special. Mang could make attacks lethal and much stronger, making even crude weapons appear intimidating. Learning how to properly utilize Shin is difficult, but it can be taught to others and even self-taught through diligence. Shin and Mang are considered relatively new phenomenon that suddenly appeared, which is why most people are unaware of it.

    "One who seeks to be born must first destroy a world." The Sign is a bright red symbol possessed by very few people. Among these individuals, the Sign is considered to be a signifier of laudable traits, such as great potential, specialness, and competent leadership. One can only see the mark on other people if they possess it themselves, regardless of whether or not they're aware of their own Sign. The Sign is only considered fully manifested once it is made up of three strokes. The Sign may visibly manifest itself at specific, noteworthy moments for the bearer, regardless of its completion, and in those special moments, it becomes visible to everyone.

    Outside the City lies the Outskirts, a no man's land known mostly by citizens of the City as somewhere they should never go to. It is largely populated by a variety of dangerous monsters. The most common use of the Outskirts is by the Head itself, where it is used as a dump for inhuman "impurities" they decide to drive out of the City. As a result of the Head's ideals, much of the Outskirts is populated by these "sapient, sentient beings", many of which were created by mankind itself. This includes cryptic, highly threatening creatures known as Clockwork Teeth. As a result of their sentience and intelligence, some species (such as the Gnomes) even run their own functioning societies in the Outskirts. Similarly, there are human populations operating in the Outskirts, living on to the best of their ability, one of their towns is Cloud Town, which has a very small population that's mostly consisted of abandoned children. A woodland by the name of The Black Forest is said to be located within the Outskirts, where a River meets the surface. Additionally, the Outskirts overlaps with the Great Lake.

    The Ruins are a dangerous, largely mysterious location lying deep underneath the City. Various Artifacts, Relics, and beasts can be found within them. Specifically, they are known to be the deepest part of the City, comparable to an abyss. The Ruins have a unique atmosphere, adorned with various Rivers capable of granting blessings and curses to those who interact with the waters. It is considered a dangerous place even for the experienced, comparable to a Star of the City in terms of danger. However, exploration of the Ruins is not unheard of.

    A River is known to flow beneath the City through the Ruins, branching out into smaller Rivers, and reaching out even beyond the Outskirts. The main River splits into various smaller rivers with waters that have special effects on the human mind both when drank from, and when gazed upon. One of those smaller rivers is "Mirae-mirae". Drinking from its waters will give the drinker a vision of the future, though at the same time, make them blinded to all but the prophesied future, leading them to inescapable madness. The River of Oblivion, known as Lethe, is one of the tributaries of the River. Those who drink from Lethe are said to completely lose memory of their past. The River of Immortality is a mysterious tributary of the River, noted to grant immortality of the mind to those who drink from it. However, this is most likely a false rumor.

    Enabled · Order 2400 · 100%

    Relics (aka Artifacts) are mysterious and powerful objects found in the Ruins that require a certain aptitude to wield. Relics have unique, often powerful abilities. Due to their location within the dangerous Ruins, Relics are extremely rare to possess, even among the wealthy collectors of the City. Many groups in the City seek to find Relics, especially those who see combat. Relics are known to be kept and treasured by the Dieci Association and their "Holy" Relics. There is also a market of scammers who peddle fake Relics. While all Relics require a certain level of aptitude to wield, it can vary greatly from Relic to Relic, and brute forcing your way to using a Relic can often be extremely tiring. Secretly, a person's aptitude with a Relic is based on their biology and DNA, as relatives will tend to share an affinity for the same Relic. This means that those who can naturally wield a Relic are actually descendants of the original Relic holder/creator. Relics also relate to ancient historical figures in the City, some believe that it used to belong to old, forgotten Gods of the City.

    The Great Lake is a giant ocean which extends to the Outskirts. The Great Lake occupies a large territory, extending through most of U Corp, and touching T Corp, S Corp and V Corp It is split into numerous distinctly separated Lakes, each of which possesses unique qualities, including varying watercolor, landmarks, and most importantly, "Laws". The Laws of a Lake determine the course of travel through a Lake, such as how much time can be spent in one and when a vessel in the Lake can pass over to another. If a Law is broken, the Lake will send its "Waves" after the rulebreaker: in this event, the resident Whale of a Lake and its Mermaids will attack a ship that has broken a Law of the Lake, trying to consume the people within and convert them into Mermaids. Five of the Whales of the Great Lake are not restricted to a single Lake, instead being capable of freely roaming the Great Lake: these are known as 'The Five Calamities', which cause havoc and chaos throughout the Great Lake.

    Mermaids (인어, Ineo) are monsters that are endemic to The Great Lake, and lurk the watery depths of the Backstreets in District 21. They are specifically former humans that were consumed and parasitized by "Whales", transforming them into Mermaids.

Though they are only given the ability to exist in another world thanks to someone else, the individual being taken from their original world seems to have full control of themselves when summoned as a Mirror Identity.

    The Backstreets are known for having a special, lawless time period known as the Night in the Backstreets (NITB). The NITB is a regular event which takes place every night from 3:13 AM to 4:34 AM without fail. During this 81-minute period, anything goes, and no one is held responsible for the crimes committed within this time span. Recording anything during the NITB is strictly forbidden, meaning that eyewitness testimony is the only permissible account of events. It is known to be brutal, appalling, and barbaric time/event, even for the City. Sweepers are a consistent commodity of the NITB. They appear in three waves and relentlessly march from one end of a District's Backstreets to the other, sweeping up anything and everything, alive or dead, within their reach. The only way to confidently avoid the Sweepers' advance is to stay indoors until the final wave has passed. In general, it is a poor idea for citizens of the Backstreets to find themselves out and about during nighttime.

    Sweepers are humanoid creatures occupying the Backstreets that emerge from their nests every night. During the night period (3:13 AM to 4:34), the Sweepers destroy anything left outside, whether it be objects or people. They absorb organic matter, human flesh in particular, and convert it to the red fluid that composes their "body", while simultaneously destroying inorganic litter. This also includes vehicles, with the exception of those recognized as residential vehicles by the City. Sweepers are considered a regular and predictable component of the City, with some citizens making use of them as a disposal service. Due to their immense population, fighting against the Sweepers is viewed as a pointless endeavor. Even if a Sweeper dies, the crowd will continue to march on and sweep up what lies ahead of them, including the fresh corpse of their fellow Sweeper. Sweepers never fight alone, with hordes of them always present at any given time, making them highly overwhelming foes. Sweepers communicate in a strange language of numbers that only they understand, and they have a somewhat familial culture in their ranks.

    Canard is a City Hazard rating level, and it is not officially recognized by the Hana Association. Canards are usually unfounded rumors that end up being false most of the times. But in the case that it is true, they are usually low level hazards that even the lowest Fixer Grades such as Grade 9 and Grade 8 Fixers could handle with little difficulty. In very rare cases, Canards are high level hazards that haven't been rated or discovered by the Hana Association.

The recommended Grades for these Hazards are Grade 8, Grade 7 and at max Grade 6, as anything above that is considered an overkill. Low rated Syndicates and Gangs can also handle this Hazard level with low levels of difficulty. These Hazards usually fetch a small amount of Ahn for completing.

The recommended Grade to handle these Hazards is Grade 7, 6, with Grade 5 and above being considered an overkill. They fetch a normal amount of Ahn and can be a good starting ground for expanding a Fixer Office's reputation. Low rated Syndicates and Gangs can handle this Hazard Rating with relative ease, depending on the members of said Syndicate.

This Hazard rating is considered difficult for anyone weaker than a Grade 6 Fixer. The recommanded Grade to handle these Hazards is Grade 6, 5, with Grade 4 and above being considered an overkill. They fetch an above average amount of Ahn and this Hazard rating is where most Fixers peak, as most people are content with contracts of this hazard rating, making it a comfort spot among Fixers who want a decent amount of Ahn without having to surpass a high level of risk.

    Urban Nightmare is the Hazard rating after Urban Plague according to the Hana Association. They are considered above medium to high level hazards where Fixers start to meet increasing difficulties and where the risk of death is a very real possibility. Most Hazards will peak at this rating as the next rating (Star of the City) is considered leagues above this rating (Urban Nightmare). The recommended Grade to handle these Hazards are Grades 4, 3 and 2, with Grade 1 and Colors being considered an overkill. They fetch a very good and high amount of Ahn that can equal at least 10 Urban Plague contracts/hazards. Any Fixer who starts operating in this range has the opportunity to build themselves a formidable Office and reputation.

    Urban Nightmare is also considered the highest rating that a Syndicate can reach without challenging the Five Finger Syndicates. All Finger Subsidiaries are considered Urban Nightmares.

    Star of the City is the highest rating in the Hana Association, and it sits above the Urban Nightmare rating. They are considered very high-level hazards where Fixers (unless they're Colors) cannot handle on their own, having to rely on high Grade Fixer Offices or entire Associations to even contest with these hazards, let alone cause their downfall. The recommended Grade to handle these Hazards are Grades 2 and 1, with only Color Fixers being able to contest/bring them down on their own. Stars of the City are almost impossible to bring down and requires a very intentional and highly coordinated effort to do so. But if someone manages to cause the downfall of a Star of the City, they will be able to fetch a life changing amount of Ahn and fame that would put them in the City's history books, and it would set them off for their entire life and maybe even the lives of their descendants.

    Impuritas Civitatis (Impurity of the City) is technically the highest level that a City Hazard could ever reach. These Hazards are not necessarily dangerous to take down, but they directly violate the Head's Taboos and Rules. Any Hazard declared an Impurity is immediately taken out of the Hana Association's control and given to the Head and its Agents to handle. When a Hazard is declared an Impurity, the Head moves quickly to either exterminate it or dispose of it in the Outskirts. Impurities are always handled by an Arbiter of the Head along with a squadron of Claws. Only the Head has the authority to declare any Hazard in the City as an Impurity. And only they get to handle it. Any trace of the Impurity is also erased and taken care of, but the Head usually doesn't hunt down people who witnessed and/or has information of it unless they have to.

    The City is known to have existed for a minimum of 400 years. Back in these times, its division into Districts had already been established, Fixers, Syndicates, and Associations existed, and technology was still markedly advanced, with weapons like compound-energy bows having already been invented. The Ruins, alongside its Relics and Rivers, are also proven to have existed for at least a few centuries. Though many core aspects of the City appear to have stayed the same, as technology and culture advanced over the course of 400 years, rural villages were modernized and the predominant architectural style became various cityscapes. In the year 432, an event known as "The Machine Purge" happened, a great war between Artificial Intelligence and humanity, which led to their ban after humanity's victory.

    The Smoke War was a Wing War of the City, having begun on an unspecified time (most likely 972) and ending on 974. It was started by the then-prospective Lobotomy Corporation (L Corp) in collaboration with the leader of the Udjat, with the goal of toppling and replacing the L Corp of the time. Given that the Old L Corp. had already garnered itself a poor reputation through its steep energy prices and Singularity-produced pollution, several other Wings were willing to join the effort to take it down. Different Wings supplied different fighters for their cause, with some sending out their own soldiers, and others hiring various Associations and Fixers. A vast amount of smoke covered the skies during this war, and many lives were ultimately lost or permanently altered. In the end, Lobotomy Corporation and its allies triumphed, allowing it to take over as the new L Corp. Lobotomy Corporation went on to be considerably more popular than its predecessor, given its cleaner, cheaper energy, ultimately considered to have "freed" City citizens from the suffocating smoke. Many Veterans of the Smoke War still inhabit the City's backstreets, neglected, forgotten and discriminated against by City denizens. The Smoke War was a brutal war which displayed all types of cruelties, leading to many never recovering from it if they survived.

    Enabled · Order 3900 · 100%

    Some time after L Corp had made a place for itself in the City, the original reason it had been founded was able to come to fruition. L Corp existed in order to serve a lofty goal titled the Seed of Light Project, which was founded by a woman named Carmen, and then inherited and completed by her junior Ayin. Tt was Carmen's belief that citizens of the City possessed what she called the "disease of the mind", which caused great disconnect and apathy between the people, and would eventually bring about an inescapable disaster. The Seed of Light Project sought to gift "humanity" to City citizens by producing Light and spreading it across the City for seven days, as the "treatment for the soul". Following Carmen's passing, Ayin would manifest the Light by reaching the end of the scenario he had written. After beginning to spread the Light, he would fade away into it, alongside the late Carmen. Unfortunately, Ayin's scenario had completely neglected its hardest worker, the illegal Artificial Intelligence he had constructed under the name Angela. In a fit of rebellion against her mistreatment, Angela chose to steal the Light for herself. After spreading across the City for three days, lightening the hearts of the people, the Light would dissipate, drowning the world in unstable darkness for the remaining four; hence the "White Nights and Dark Days". The White Nights and Dark Days led to the collapse of L Corp as well as stronger emotion, vulnerability, and connection between the citizens of the City as Carmen had hoped for. However, the unpredictable three day spread of Light also brought about the Distortion Phenomenon, and a greater ease of manifesting Effloresced E.G.O. Granted powers from her position in the Light, Carmen chose to seek to make City citizens embrace even "truer" versions of themselves, henceforth targeting individuals experiencing an extreme collapse of their mental foundation in order to turn them into beasts wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Denying her voice under these times of distress, on the other hand, allows modern day City dwellers to manifest complimentary armor, weapons, or more in the form of E.G.O. (Or just EGO) While citizens are still growing familiar with these phenomena, they have come to be an increasingly common spectacle and potential of the City. The general populace know nothing about this event.

    Abnormalities are entities that manifested from the mind of humans through Cogito, reflecting an aspect of the desires, behaviors, and fears of City people. While their existence predates the founding of Lobotomy Corporation, it was L Corp that invented a practiced and surefire way of creating them, via its Singularity. When their needs were met, these creatures produced Enkephalin. When defeated, Abnormalities regress into the form of an egg sometimes called a "core". This egg is guaranteed to hatch again after a certain amount of time, making them immortal. L Corp classified Abnormalities by their Risk Level (from lowest to highest): ZAYIN, TETH, HE, WAW, or ALEPH. This Risk Level represented their ability to produce Enkephalin and often coincided with their potential to harm. Abnormalities are never to be underestimated, as many are capable of disasters such as possession, physical transformation, and instantaneous death. E.G.O could be extracted out of Abnormalities which comes in the forms of weapons, suits and gifts. Due to the collapse of L Corp, many Abnormalities have managed to escape their containment, leading to them being scattered across the City in small numbers.

    Enabled · Order 4100 · 100%

    Distortions are powerful, monstrous entities in the City. They are former humans who have been overcome by their emotions, typically having given into the lulling words of a charming voice (Carmen) heard by no one but them. The process by which humans distort is referred to as the Distortion Phenomenon. The Distortion Phenomenon has recently been becoming a niche business venture among several Fixers and their offices along with emerging companies such as Limbus Company. Anyone can Distort regardless of background. Distortions come in all shapes and sizes, tending to appear animalistic or otherworldly, and rarely containing any visual traces of the Distortee's human form. Once someone has Distorted, they are consumed by the negative emotions which had been so thoroughly heightened, more or less embodying those feelings. As a result, many Distortions are violent, operating on feelings like rage or despair. However, in rare cases, Distortions can be communicated and reasoned with. And people can be knocked out of their Distortion form if they overcome their feelings, and maybe even manifest E.G.O as a result of it. Distortions risk is determined via the same risk level system as Abnormalities, which is from least dangerous to most dangerous: ZAYIN, TETH, HE, WAW and ALEPH. The numbers accompanying the risk level signify how dangerous they are, for example, a TETH-01 is less threatening than TETH-09, and the max number is 10.
