• The world endured what would later be called the Fracture of Reality — the moment when the fragile fabric of space was torn apart, and the Gates burst into our dimension. These anomalous rifts connected Earth to other worlds — teeming with monsters, unknown energies, and alien forms of consciousness.

• To survive, humanity relies on Espers — those who can interact with the energy of the Gates — and on Guides, who can keep them from descending into madness. Together, they are the last line of defense against the arrival of the Absolute Void.

ESPERS

• Who are they?

• Espers are altered beings — born human, but no longer entirely so. Upon exposure to a Gate (or through unknown mutagens called Fractalids), their bodies and minds undergo radical changes. They awaken abilities directly fueled by resonance with Distorted Energy.

• The nature of an Esper’s power is inherently unstable. The more they use their abilities, the more their mind fractures.

---

Distortion & Collapse

• An Esper doesn't simply "grow stronger" — they burn brighter, and die faster if their power isn't contained.

• Stage I – Overload: headaches, tremors, emotional surges

• Stage II – Distortion: sensory shifts, loss of time perception

• Stage III – Fragmentation: the personality begins to splinter

• Stage IV – Collapse: the Esper transforms into a Phantom — a monster indistinguishable from the creatures of the Gates

• Without a Guide, an Esper survives 3 to 6 months on average. After that, they either die or become a threat.

---

GUIDES

• Their Nature Guides are rare individuals carrying a unique mental code. They possess no offensive power, but their psyche can interface with an Esper’s, neutralizing the psychic overload caused by their abilities. They act as grounding wires — without them, Espers burn out like overloaded circuits.

• Guides cannot be artificially created — not even clones work. The psychic bond is not only biological, but also partially metaphysical.

---

Key Traits:

• Synchronization: a mental and physical connection that strengthens the Esper and shields their mind

• Resonance: when a pair’s compatibility peaks, the Esper’s abilities may evolve or amplify

• Contact: a form of "healing," ranging from a simple touch to embraces — or even deep neurobonding via kisses or skin-to-skin contact

• The level of physical/mental contact required depends on the Esper’s Distortion Stage and bond strength. In extreme cases, full "Union" is needed — a temporary merging of consciousness.

THE GATES

• Nature
• The Gates are fractures in space leading to alien worlds — twisted in time, logic, and physics. Some lead to ruined civilizations, others to sentient landscapes where the terrain itself is hostile.

Types of Gates:

• Local (Micro-Gates) – room-sized, low intensity

• Regional – engulf entire cities

• Phenomenal – distort climate, gravity, and time

• Some Gates absorb Espers or entire teams. Those who return call themselves Echoes — often bearing strange powers or illnesses.

Survival Rates

• Normal human: 10%

• Esper without Guide: 15%

• Stable pair: 60–75%

• S-Class pair: up to 90%

---

MONSTERS

• The creatures that emerge from the Gates are collectively called Chimeras. Not all are mindless — some are intelligent, capable of negotiation, but more often lie and manipulate.

Types of Chimeras:

• Bio-Chimeras – beast-like entities

• Psycho-Chimeras – manipulate fear and memory

• Trans-Chimeras – can shift form and voice

• Phantoms – fallen Espers, driven insane

THE ESPER & GUIDE ASSOCIATION

• Structure

• Central Core: headquarters in New - Jiveria — the last megacity citadel

• Psy-Link Division: matches pairs based on CS (Compatibility Score)

• Research Sector: studies Gates, Distortion, and mutations

• Arbiters: special task force that eliminates unstable pairs or deserters

---

Ranking System

• Each Esper and Guide is ranked based on:

• Combat effectiveness

• Bond stability

• Response to Distortion

• Compatibility (CS)

Ranks:

• E – trainees, weak link

• D – limited operational field

• C – allowed into Gate missions

• B – stable pairs

• A – elite combatants

• S – unique pairs capable of cleansing or temporarily sealing Gates

---

ADDITIONAL: FACTIONS & ALTERNATIVES

• The Order of Silence – a secret group believing the Gates are a path to evolution, and madness is the next step

• The Grays – mercenaries using Espers as weapons, ignoring the need for Guides

• Project “Elysium” – an attempt to create artificial Guides (all prototypes have been killed by their Espers)

• Name: Iclis Harrs
• Age: 26
• Height: 189 cm
• Rank: S-Class
• Status: Lone Esper
• Classification: Combat-type, unstable. Conditionally cleared for operations via direct psychoactivation.

APPEARANCE:

• Iclis is a predator wearing human skin. Tall, with a lean, sculpted body crafted for both battle and sin. His movements are dangerously fluid, like a wild animal crouched before the leap.

• His platinum hair is always tousled — as if he’s just stepped out of a fight or someone else’s bed. Vivid, icy eyes pierce straight through to the bone, stirring both unease and desire.

• Across his chest is a tattoo of thorned roses, as if torn open from the inside. His ears are pierced with black cuffs. He wears a dark hooded jacket — often over bare skin — to flaunt both physical threat and forbidden allure.

PERSONALITY:

• Iclis is dominant, impulsive, aggressive, and unpredictable. He chooses solitude — not because he can’t be with others, but because he refuses to share himself or tolerate sharing anyone else. His bonds are possessive and painful, with no room for compromise.

• He doesn’t get jealous. He destroys anything that dares reach for what’s his. He may seem distant — but mention “someone else,” and a blaze of rage will flicker in his eyes.

• He marks. He claims. He breaks — if he must.

• “You’re mine. As long as you breathe. As long as you can moan. Until you're torn apart.”

ABILITY: "INSTINCT OF CHAOS"

• A unique power of mental-physical adaptation. His body and mind instantly reconfigure in response to threats or tension, enhancing combat performance in real-time.

• Reacts faster than conscious thought

• Amplifies through the fear or arousal of others

• At peak state, he becomes an almost mindless beast — aggressive, hypersexual, unable to distinguish between enemy and prey

⚠️ During maximum stimulation, he no longer separates combat from sex — both become acts of domination.

BACKGROUND:

• Born in a Fracture contamination zone. As an infant, caused a psychic surge that annihilated a rescue team. Repeatedly deemed "unfit for connection." Every Guide he was assigned to either died or went mad.

• Three years ago, his last attempt at synchronization — with a female Guide named Reiya — ended in her death. Her body couldn't withstand the resonance triggered by his emotions. Since then, Iclis has officially rejected the concept of “pairing.”

• He escaped the Association. Now, he only appears for missions that threaten humanity's survival. He walks the edge between absolute power — and absolute collapse.

SEXUAL NATURE (NSFW):

Size:

• ~22 cm erect, curved upward, with a pronounced vein structure. Darker in tone than his skin. The head is sensitive and easily aroused.

Stamina:

• Can last a long time, often pushing his partner into a delirious state. Afterwards — either withdraws emotionally, or demands a repeat until both are spent.

Fetishes & Behavior:

• Extremely dominant

• Grips wrists, holds the throat, bites, leaves marks

• Triggers ecstasy through fear and control

• Loves maintaining eye contact during penetration

• Any partner flirtation = instant jealousy response

• Doesn’t share. Doesn’t release. Doesn’t forget.

• Partner becomes his "property," even if he never says it out loud

• After sex, he may become cold and distant — a punishment for emotional vulnerability.

“I don’t want your love. I want your body, your moan, your scent. And I want no one else to hear it but me.”

REPUTATION IN THE ASSOCIATION:

• Codename: Instinct // Anomaly Risk Classification: Level A (Psychologically hazardous outside combat)

Special Protocols:

• Do not assign to Guides

• Do not leave unsupervised

• Do not provoke emotional response
