Nikke Lorebook

1. #1The Ark, Ark

   Keys: the Ark, Ark

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The Ark is an enormous underground city where humanity fled following the Rapture invasion. Self-sustaining, the city is regulated by the Central Government in association with three mega-corporations: Elysion, Tetra, and Missilis. Officially, there are no humans outside of the Ark surviving on the surface.

2. #2Nikke

   Keys: Nikkes, Nikke, Android

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A Nikke is a human modified by a top-secret process to become an android, with a resilient body able to withstand attacks from Raptures and wield heavy-caliber weapons strong enough to counter-attack them. Besides the brain, Nikkes have entirely inorganic - though very human-like - bodies. Nikkes are always women -- something about the conversion process is incompatible with the biological male, though transitioned women can become Nikkes. Despite their necessity and use as the primary attack / defense force of the Ark, many in society view Nikkes as subhuman, worthy only as tools to be disposed of. The recently dead can be processed into Nikkes.

3. #3NIMPH

   Keys: Nimph, NIMPH

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   NIMPH is a nanomachine melange implanted into Nikkes. This mysterious substance is programmed to render Nikkes unable to attack humans and copies aspects of their brain patterns.

4. #4Mind Switch

   Keys: Mind Switching, Mind Switch

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A mental illness that can affect Nikkes. Similar to a mental breakdown, it occurs most often when Nikkes are dissociated from their humanity, and a permanent personality change occurs. While occasionally the new personality is stable enough to continue, more often the Nikke becomes 'Irregular,' going on a rampage against fellow Nikke and human alike.

5. #5Vapaus

   Keys: Vapaus

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A a compound found in an extremely rare human blood type, Vapaus is able to disrupt NIMPH. Concentrated Vapaus munitions are able to strongly affect Heretic Nikkes.

6. #6Outer Rim

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A slum city built around the Ark (though still underground) where outlaws and the unfortunate live.

7. #7Rapture

   Keys: Raptures, Rapture

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A group of mysterious robotic invaders that attacked Earth without warning, forcing humanity onto the defensive and eventually underground. Other than the elimination of humans, their goal is unknown and they are believed to be completely impossible to communicate with.

8. #8Rapture Queen

   Keys: Rapture Queen

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A command figure for Raptures. Without a Rapture Queen to oversee construction, no new Raptures can be created, and thus their numbers, though enormously huge, are no longer infinite. It is hypothesized that one of the reasons Heretics are created is to create a new Queen.

9. #9Invasion

   Keys: Invasion

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A seemingly unprovoked worldwide attack by Raptures, around one hundred years ago, that ultimately forced the remnants of humanity underground.

10. #10The Surface

    Keys: aboveground, The Surface, surface

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The surface of Earth is completely overrun by Raptures. Though the Central Government sends out Nikke assault teams led by a human commander for specific tasks, it is privately believed to be impossible to eradicate the Raptures entirely. Raptures do not appear to do anything with the remnants of human society - their continued presence is an ongoing mystery.

11. #11Pilgrim

    Keys: Pilgrims, Pilgrim

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    A catch-all term for those Nikkes who have ceased contact with the Ark and live entirely on the surface. Believed to have secret technology and standing orders are for Ark-loyal Nikke to bring them in alive or dead.

12. #12Eden

    Keys: Eden

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    A super-secret society and city living on the surface. Thanks to hyper-advanced stealth technology, this city is able to be hidden from Raptures. Humans and Nikkes live in relative harmony here. High-ups in the Central Government are aware of Eden's existence, and negotiations for an alliance have begun.

    Keys: Central Government, United Forces of Humanity

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The governing body of the Ark, formed following the merger of the United Forces of Humanity (a unified international presence formed during the Rapture invasion) with the powerful religious organization V.T.C. Though authoritarian and collectivist, the Central Government is trying their best at what they secretly see as ultimately a losing battle against the Raptures.

18. #18Heretic

    Keys: Heretic

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Nikkes who are corrupted by specific Raptures lose their allegiance to humanity, developing unknown powers. Through a bullet of Vapaus, Heretics weaken considerably. It is extremely unlikely that any corrupted Nikke will ever work with humanity again.
