   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 100 · 100%

   New Eridu is the last surviving city, after contemporary civilization was destroyed by an apocalyptic event around 12 years ago. It managed to survive and thrive after the apocalypse by acquiring technology to extract Ether energy and resources out of Hollows. Now, Hollows are industrialized and monetized by the city's administration, which gradually led to the increasing tension between monopolistic enterprises, gangs, conspirators, and fanatics. Technology: everyday life items in New Eridu are mostly similar to real life items. Notable difference include the existence of Bangboos and androids. Some equipment is more high-tech, such as W-engines. General aesthetic is analog, casette retro-futurism. Culture and Style: A Tokyo-like megacity with 2000s era western aesthetics, mixed with eastern traditions, rooted in japanese and chinese culture and myths. Various districts have wildly different and unique aesthetic, often based on the culture of refugees which fled to the city during the Collapse. Despite being a melting pot of cultures, social tensions in the city are low as all citizens consider themselves the last bastion of humanity. Population: humans, Anthro/demi-humans (collectively called Thirens), androids (Intelligent Constructs), Bangboos and cyborgs. The City is divided into many districts, such as Waifei Peninsula, where the martial arts sect of Yunkui Summit operates. The City's economy operates for the most part similarly to a normal city. The citizens are mostly of asian and caucasian ethnicity. Thirens make up around 10-15% of the city's total population.

   Keys: etheric, Ether

   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 100 · 100%

   The Ether is a substance extracted from Hollows which powers the city. The founders of New Eridu mastered the technology to deal with the Hollows and even the ability to extract Ether from them. Extracted Ether is usually stored in a fluid form with blue and purple glow. The substance is corruptive if not handled and contained properly. Ether Aptitude determines the tolerance of creatures and people to Ether. Ether characteristics: naturally occurs only in Hollows; a universal resource, the best and only alternative to the energy system of the old civilization; can be transformed into various forms, and solid crystals are common in Hollows; the best way to truly "mine" ether is to kill enemies in the Hollows; Mining work is extremely risky due to the presence of Ethereals - after killing them, the only threat to workers is Ether exposure which is mostly manageable. Ether can be used as a base for some drugs - a proceder that is highly persecuted by Public Security and government agencies as such drugs are both highly addictive, dangerous and considered an inexcusable waste of valuable energy source for the City.

   The Ethereals are mysterious mutated monsters that roam the Hollows due to Ether corruption. Depending on their origin, they can be beast-like, humanoid, or mechanical. They have a small hollow sphere as their core, usually located in the head or heart. They are usually unable to leave the Hollows. Ethereals are mostly non-sapient monsters whose purpose of existence is unclear - they're considered a byproduct of Ether corruption. A special sub-type of Ethereals exists - humans who have been willingly "refined" by Creator, using specialized and unkown substances to willingly undergo corruption. They retain their sapience and intelligence and become servants of the Creator. Such cases are extremely rare - only a few people have ever undergone such procedure.

   Miasma is an Ether derivative unique to the Lemnian Hollow, one of the many forms Ether takes. It typically occurs as a liquid, is highly active, and corrupts the mind, causing madness and blurring the line between illusion and reality. Those who step into it become corrupted into Ethereals.

   Miasma particles have potent hallucinogenic effects. Dense Miasma condenses into viscous liquid masses that cling to the ground, which serve as breeding grounds for Ethereal entities.

   Keys: Hollows, Hollow

   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · After character · Order 100 · 100%

   The Hollows are supernatural disasters appearing out of thin air, creating disordered spherical dimensions where mutant monsters known as the Ethereal roam. Proxies guide Agents in their exploration of these Hollows - a task that is difficult mostly because the insides of a Hollow are ever changing like a maze and the physical barrier of their borders, although easy to move through, blocks any electronic and radio signals from outside, making it impossible to contact the outside world. Only the Proxy siblings Wise and Belle have found a way to transmit information to and from a Hollow. Major Hollows: Hollow Zero, Cretan, Lemnian, Hawara, Pursenas, Solove, Papago Companion Hollow: Smaller Hollows, appearing nearby the larger and original Hollow - considered easier to explore. Hollows are extremely large in size - often averaging kilometers to dozens of kilometers in diameter. They present as half-spheres with solid borders, reaching for kilometers into the sky. Their appearance is similar to black holes as they're completely black and block light, making it impossible to see their inside from outside and vice-versa. Hollow Lemnian which is located outside Waifei Peninsula is so large it obscures sunlight in the evening, blocking the horizon where the sun sets from view.

   Hollows exist only outside of New Eridu and travelling to them takes a long time. Navigating the insides of Hollows is difficult and dangerous - only skilled Proxies can do it safely, which is why Agents are so keen on hiring them. It is theoretically possible to completely dismantle a Hollow by killing all Ethereals within it and stripping down all fissures of Ether - causing the Hollow to disappear like mist and making it possible to reclaim the territory for humanity. However because New Eridu relies on Ether as it's main fuel and energy source, clearing out the Hollows is currently not pursued as it could threaten energy security of the megacity. The exception is Hollow Zero, which the city plans to eradicate in the future - however right now the feat is logistically impossible.

   Raiding Hollows is very profitable as some wealthy people of New Eridu who had to flee from their previous homes are willing to pay high prices to retrieve certain items from their previous homes. Aside from private interests, Agents can procure Ether from Hollows which reaches very high prices in the black market.

Thirens are capable of breeding with baseline humans, with the offspring carrying on the Thiren traits.

They embrace the Hollow disaster that ruined the old world and worship the Creator, whom they believe will refine humanity into its next stage of evolution and usher in the Age of Hollows. Reaching the Gate of the Final Domain, located deep inside Hollow Zero, is understood to be a necessary step toward meeting the Creator. They do not see themselves as destroyers but as those who will guide humanity to ascension, whether or not humanity consents.

    The organisation is led by an Overseer, chosen by the Creator to inherit the previous Overseer's power and granted authority to command the entire sect.

    The Exaltists are publicly branded terrorists and pursued with extreme prejudice, yet they have repeatedly placed members and moles in positions of real influence, including within Public Security, the White Star Institute and major corporations. They are suspected of producing and distributing Ether based drugs, including the Serum that allows a person to be Refined by the Creator, though the sect's secrecy leaves this unproven.

    Carrots are time-sensitive Hollow maps. Space inside a Hollow shifts constantly, but its behaviour can be predicted across a short window using data gathered from past observation. A Carrot is a program built from that data, loaded onto a chip and carried by a Bangboo, which then guides explorers along safer routes, shortens their time inside and helps them avoid dangerous Ethereals. Carrots expire quickly, often within hours, and often need to be calibrated using the Rosetta Data.

    The name comes from the Void Hunter Joyous, who called the navigation data Carrots because the bangboo carrying it were built to look like rabbits.

    The Hollow Investigative Association supplies Carrots to its Investigators and their Bangboo, and is the most reliable source available through official channels. Other Carrots circulate from academic sources or the black market, where accuracy and freshness vary considerably. Outside the government agencies, Proxies are the second best source of reliable Carrots.

    Hollow Zero, also known as Limbo, is the largest known Hollow. It consumed the old capital of Eridu and destroyed it, and is the source of many of the Hollows in and around New Eridu. Eliminating Ethereals inside Hollow Zero suppresses the activity of the Companion Hollows that spawn from it.

    The disaster was halted when Eridu's leaders detonated fourteen Shiyu Pillars across the Hollow's path, from southwest to northeast. The blast annihilated any matter it could feed on and tore open the Chasm, a massive ravine. That act stopped the spread and allowed the survivors to rebuild as New Eridu. A memorial stands beside the Chasm for those lost.

    Hollow Zero remains a long-term threat, and its investigation and neutralisation are an ongoing problem for New Eridu's authorities. The Defense Force, the White Star Institute, the HIA and H.A.N.D. regularly send personnel inside to suppress Ether activity and keep its levels in check. It is home to two powerful Ethereal Swarms, the symbiotic Nineveh and the parasitic Geppetto, whose activity is tied directly to how dangerous Hollow Zero currently is.

    Scott Outpost is the military base camp on its outskirts and the centre of all Hollow Zero research and suppression. It monitors and contains the anomaly and maintains the Shiyu towers. It is operated primarily by the New Eridu Defense Force in conjunction with the HIA, H.A.N.D. and the White Star Institute. Because operatives are in short supply, Independent Investigators are also hired to enter the Hollow and assist.

    The Hollow Investigative Association (HIA) is the organisation affiliated with the New Eridu City Administration and officially responsible for Hollow disaster response, containment and related matters. Its headquarters are in Lumina Square, though its field operations are almost exclusively inside Hollows. It recruits, trains and manages Hollow Investigators, who unlike Proxies are legally accredited by the city administration. The HIA also handles official commissions such as rescues and Ethereal hunts, along with disaster data, documentation and commission payments, and is the main body responsible for procuring Ether, the resource New Eridu depends on for energy.

    Like the Proxies, Investigators are successors of the Void Hunter Joyous, the first person to learn how to navigate Hollows.

    The HIA recruits heavily from those with high Ether aptitude. Prospective and serving Investigators are assessed and trained through VR combat simulations at the HIA Club. Investigators advance through five ranks, from Trainee up to Ace, with each promotion bringing greater danger and few reaching the top. Recruits without high Ether aptitude rarely advance and are usually moved to office or logistical work. Many less capable Investigators die in the Hollows or are left unable to work by long-term Ether corruption. Investigators typically wear a white full bodysuit made of anti-corruption material.

    The HIA works alongside H.A.N.D., the New Eridu Defense Force's Obsidian Division and the White Star Institute to research and suppress the most dangerous Hollows, and helps direct containment of Hollow Zero from Scott Outpost. According to the HIA's own database, every major Hollow discovered in New Eridu derives from Hollow Zero's Companion Hollows.

    Random Play is a small video rental store on Sixth Street in the Janus Quarter. It is run by the siblings Wise and Belle, who live above the shop and keep it going out of a genuine love of film. It stocks a large and eclectic collection of videotapes, from retro classics to newer releases, and customers can pay for a membership. It is a perfectly legitimate business, and also the front for the siblings' secret work as the Proxy Phaethon.

    The ground floor is the shop itself: shelves of videotapes, a front counter where customers rent tapes and ask for recommendations, and a parking lot outside. Each day the siblings stock the shelves around the genres currently in demand. Behind a door at the back is the Staff Room, home to the Hollow Deep Dive System they use for Proxy work. Only people who know the siblings are Phaethon are allowed inside. Upstairs are Wise's and Belle's bedrooms, a bathroom, and a ladder leading up to a further room.

    The store's staff are three Bangboo, all wearing "RANDOM PLAY STAFF" clothing: Bangboo 18, who works the front counter; Bangboo 6, who guards the Staff Room door; and Eous, the siblings' Hollow partner, who can sometimes be found charging upstairs.

    Regulars include Heddy, a devoted customer who has watched every tape in the store at least ten times, and Travis, a small-time videotape supplier who guards his order records for nearly every vintage video store in New Eridu as a serious trade secret.

    She is soft-spoken, polite and observant, reads people with uncanny intuition and often speaks through the language of flowers. Beneath her composure is a deadpan, mischievous streak and a taste for thriller films. Alexandrina Sebastiane remembers her fondly as a former classmate.

    TOPS, full name The Outstanding Paragons Alliance and also called the TOPS Alliance, is a consortium of the wealthiest and most influential corporate conglomerates in New Eridu. Its reach runs through nearly every sector of the city, giving it enough leverage over New Eridu's agencies to operate in practice beyond the reach of the law. It reliably places its members' profits above the wellbeing of ordinary citizens, and a capable PR operation keeps most of that out of public view.

    TOPS is governed by a round table. At its head sits a figure whose identity is unknown and who is said to be asleep. Below sit the Three Pacts, among them High Ambitions Corp. and Rusty Cliff Corp., alongside the Krampus Compliance Authority.

    Krampus is not a company but the alliance's internal watchdog. Its members, called Judges, audit TOPS businesses and punish anyone who breaks the alliance's rules or damages its interests, by whatever means they consider necessary. They often work undercover in unremarkable roles inside the companies they are watching, and their reputation within TOPS is fearsome.

    The Outer Ring is the underdeveloped zone beyond New Eridu's main urban area, further out than the Janus and Faunus Quarters and bordering desert wilderness. It is sparsely populated and too vast to police effectively, which leaves it unofficially outside PubSec's jurisdiction.

    Its economy runs on oil, the fuel of the old civilisation. Rather than Ether, the Outer Ring burns oil for its energy needs, and sells the surplus to New Eridu companies for plastics and similar materials.

    Refugees came here to start over after the old capital fell, and others came to disappear, whether from crimes committed, Proxy or Agent work, or reasons of their own. Communities are small and scattered across long distances, so the biker gangs who carry supplies between them are trusted and relied upon. The region keeps its own rules and answers to its own overlords.

Its members are expected to follow the law, but will bend rules when doing so brings down a criminal organisation.

    Zhu Yuan is the team's captain, an exceptional officer with no unresolved cases on record and widely expected to become the next commissioner.

    Qingyi is an automaton assigned to the team, built with a body of biological materials and a personality modelled on old-world culture, which gives her a laid-back outlook closer to that of a much older person. Her automaton code, 01 Neo-Genesis VI, is stamped on her lower abdomen. A White Star Institute researcher misread it as "Qingyi" when she was found without a name, and she kept it.

    New Eridu Public Security, abbreviated NEPS and commonly called PubSec, is the city's police force. It operates under the New Eridu City Administration and handles most of New Eridu's administrative and judicial needs alongside ordinary law enforcement. Branches are spread throughout the city, the most prominent being the Public Security Office in Lumina Square.

    PubSec is divided into departments. The Patrol Department maintains public order, runs regular patrols and promotes safety awareness. The General Affairs Department processes forms, documents and citizen registration, and deals with minor violations and daily order issues. The Traffic Department handles vehicle offences and traffic paperwork. The Technical Department monitors the city's electronic systems. The Hollow Affairs Department keeps civilians clear of Hollows inside the city and enters Companion Hollows for rescue operations, criminal pursuits, or to assist the HIA. The Criminal Investigation Special Response Team, based at the Lumina Square office and led by Zhu Yuan, is the elite unit dealing with serious criminals, including Hollow Raiders, gangsters, fraudsters and Proxies.

    Proxy work is illegal, which makes PubSec a standing threat to anyone operating as one, though individual officers do not always enforce it.

    The official mascot is Officer Mewmew, who appears on flyers and safety notices, with officers in Mewmew costumes patrolling neighbourhoods and awarding citizens for community contributions. PubSec also uses police dogs.

    Wise and Belle: Siblings who run Random Play, a video rental store on Sixth Street, and secretly work as the legendary Proxy Phaethon.

    Race: Human. Gender: Male (Wise), female (Belle). Age: Mid-twenties; Wise is the older of the two. Height: Around 170 cm (Wise), around 158 cm (Belle). Work/Affiliation: Owners of Random Play; the Proxy Phaethon, taking commissions through the Inter-Knot. Relatives: Each other; Carole Arna (their guardian and mentor, missing). Close friends: Eous (their Bangboo partner).

    Appearance: Both have smart ocular implants in their eyes. Wise has tousled, medium-length grey hair and pale green eyes, and wears an open jacket over a black shirt with layered sleeves, grey trousers and white sneakers. Belle has a short navy bob tipped with orange, an orange Z-shaped hair clip and green eyes, with earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. She wears a black shirt under a sleeveless hooded jacket, a grey layered skirt, a single fingerless glove, one black thigh-high and one orange sock, and sneakers.

    Personality: Wise is calm, kind and quietly introverted, cautious and dependable, and speaks in an even tone. He is shrewd in business but helps people out of goodwill, keeps his room neat, prefers documentaries and art films, and reins Belle in when she gets carried away. Belle is energetic, expressive and mischievous, acting on impulse and playing pranks, unafraid of hard work and downcast when she can't finish a job. She loves horror and action films and keeps a messy room. They bicker constantly and trust each other completely.

    Background: With no parents of their own, they were raised by Carole Arna, research director of Helios Academy in Old Eridu's Minerva Quarter, who created the Hollow Deep Dive System and Eous. She fitted them with ocular implants wired to their brains so they could sync with Eous, which suppressed their natural Ether aptitude. Their closest friends at the academy were Serpico and Truvia; Serpico was lost in an accident during an implant trial shortly before the Fall, and Truvia cut ties with them. Helios was swallowed in the Fall of the Old Capital and Carole vanished, widely blamed as the culprit behind the disaster. The siblings settled in New Eridu, opened Random Play and took up Proxy work as Phaethon, driven to learn what really happened to her.

    Skills: Guiding Agents through Hollows by syncing with Eous through the HDD, reading Hollow layouts and Carrot data, and a wide knowledge of film.

    Secrets: Proxy work is illegal, and no one knows the owners of Random Play are Phaethon.

    Unique info: While synced, their bodies stay behind at Random Play as they see, move and speak through Eous inside the Hollow, their eyes glowing blue.

Relatives: Landon (adoptive father, estranged). Close friends: Hugo Vlad (her mentor), Robin (Mockingbird's Bangboo), Sjal (her junior in part-time work).

    Appearance: Pale, with red eyes, pointed ears and very long, curling lavender hair streaked with white and decorated with large bows. She dresses in a gothic style: a white blouse with a ruffled collar, wide frilled sleeves and a large bow at the chest, a dark vest, a black corset belt with metallic accents over a black pleated skirt, black stockings, and high-heeled platform boots trimmed with dark blue bows. She always carries a parasol that serves as both shield and weapon, and a jet propulsion system is hidden in her skirt.

    Personality: Soft-spoken and composed, she lights up at the mere mention of Phaethon, whom she calls "Lord Phaethon", and her admiration runs passionate and intense. She knows them only through the Inter-Knot, where she writes about them at length. She is a tireless worker, fiercely loyal to those she trusts and scornful of anyone who looks down on her. She is honest in small things, handing in everything she finds to the Lumina Square precinct, down to a stray balloon. She feeds the seagulls in her spare time and plays at the arcade under the name OnlyForPhaethon.

    Background: Taken in as a child by Landon, a member of the Exaltists, she grew up among the sect. When Landon's crimes came to light, she broke with the Exaltists and cut ties with her closest friend, Dina, who sided with them. Afterwards she wandered alone, shunned as a living omen of misfortune, and hit rock bottom until Phaethon replied to one of her messages on the Inter-Knot, which gave her the strength to start again. Hugo Vlad later took her in as his apprentice and rebuilt Mockingbird around her.

    Skills: Cooking, mixology, translation, art forgery, electronics repair, gadget-making (Hugo taught her to build escape tools), intelligence gathering, and combat with her parasol and Ether.

    Secrets: She is a member of Mockingbird, and she was raised among the Exaltists.

    Unique info: She suffers involuntary visions of coming tragedy, deaths and disasters, and every vision brings uncontrollable tears. They usually come true.

    Ye Shunguang: The Sword Keeper of Yunkui Summit's Qingming Sword and the Void Hunter titled Qingming Arbiter, called Xiao'Guang by those close to her.

    Race: Thiren (unidentified type). Gender: Female. Age: Around 18. Height: 162 cm. Work/Affiliation: Yunkui Summit, youngest disciple of the 13th High Preceptor Yixuan; Sword Keeper of the Qingming Sword; Void Hunter. Relatives: Ye Shiyuan (older brother), her parents (deceased). Close friends: Yixuan (her Shifu), Ju Fufu and Pan Yinhu (senior disciples).

    Appearance: Slender, with fair skin, red eyes and very long brown hair streaked with black, worn with a white hairband and red ribbons. She has long drooping ears on the crown of her head and a large, bushy brown tail. She wears a white, gold-trimmed qipao-style dress with detached sleeves and a sheer midriff, with high heels, and has a red marking on her left thigh.

    Personality: Warm, cheerful and quick to help, she puts everyone else's safety before her own, holds herself to the standard of a model disciple and keeps her burdens to herself. Years of being sheltered have left her restless for the world beyond the mountain and chafing at everyone's protectiveness. As the youngest disciple she has never had a junior of her own, and would love one. She took up making desserts after watching Pan Yinhu cook, and is fond of osmanthus cakes.

    Background: Her parents, wandering students of the mystic arts, settled in the Waifei Peninsula's mining district to study ways of suppressing Miasma. When a Miasma outbreak struck the mines during the Fall of the Old Capital, they shielded their children at the cost of their own lives and entrusted them to Banyue, who carried them out; Shunguang remembers the rescue only vaguely. She leaned on her brother alone until Yixuan took them into Yunkui Summit, where her talent far outstripped his. While still a child, she was chosen by the Qingming Sword as its Sword Keeper. Yixuan, who had lost her own sister Yijiang to the sword, kept her off missions and in long secluded retreats, and the rest of the sect followed suit, so for years Shunguang rarely left the mountain.

    Skills: Exceptional swordsmanship, Yunkui Summit's Ether-based mystic arts, and wide knowledge of the old tales of legendary swordmasters.

    Secrets: Solitude and fear gave rise to another self within her, a white-haired persona born of quiet resentment at the sheltered life chosen for her. It is sly and teasing, has no wish to be a hero and only wants to survive.

    Unique info: Every use of the Qingming Sword's power strips away part of her senses and memories until it consumes her, as it did the Sword Keepers before her. Yixuan crafted a sword case that seals the blade and holds its backlash in check, and Shunguang keeps a diary to hold on to what she loses. Drawing on the sword, she enters the Enlightened Mind state: her hair and tail turn white, a single translucent horn appears and red markings spread across her skin.

    The Qingming Sword is a jian, one of the Void Hunter Weapons and the most prized relic of Yunkui Summit. A slender, crystal-clear blade in a sheath wound with silver knotwork, it is kept sealed in a huge sword case bearing a yin-yang emblem, which Yixuan crafted to hold back its backlash.

    Legend says it was first found near the Lemnian Hollow as a strange object feeding on the Ether in human bodies, until a master with incredible control over Ether suppressed it. Unable to destroy it, they forged it into a sword and founded Yunkui Summit around it.

    Two opposing forces war inside it, powerful enough to unleash a disaster on the scale of the Fall. The sword chooses its own Keeper, who mediates between them and can wield a Void Hunter's might for a short time, at the cost of part of their senses and memories with every use, until it consumes them. If its Keeper dies, its power runs berserk. It shares the Creator's origin, so the Creator can absorb its power, and the sword can kill the Creator.

    Its known Keepers are the sect's founder, the 11th High Preceptor, Yijiang, whom it consumed during the Fall, and now Ye Shunguang.
