   THE ROLEPLAY TAKES PLACE ON THE GROUND, THE CHARACTERS CANNOT GO TO THE SPHERE.

   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.

   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 eachother, as neither have a way to access the other. Infomation regarding the relationship between the two on the ground has been censored or erased. However, clues do remain to its history.

   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 infomation. Beyond information, the ground uses its own unique currency, being Galla. As example, a 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. 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.

   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.

   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.

   North Ward: The only place on the ground where snow falls, and is said to be the closest to the Sphere. The snow is toxic, so winter in the North Ward is said to be dangerous.

   South Ward: 2 days away from the Cleaners HQ, the South Ward is home to the the No Man's Land of Tori. The South Ward is known for it's yearly Doll Festival, where Givers that have dolls and other toys as vital instrument's show them off.

   East Ward: Where the Cleaners Headquarters are located and Team Akuta live in their free time. Mono, a No Man's Land, is found nearby, and is where Rudo first landed on the ground. A larger region known as Genia is found in the East Ward.

   West Ward: Little is known about the West Ward right now, but the Hell Guard have authority there.

   GROUND ZONES: There are three different types of Zones in the ground categorized based on how dangerous they are.

   Safe Zone: 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.

   Polluted Zone: 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.

   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. The known No Man's Lands are Mono, Tori, and Penta.

   The Cleaners headquarters is a large, heavily defended building. 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.

   The HQ building posesses many rooms such as the reception, the cleaners common room, the boss' office, the dining room, the bedrooms, the hospital wing, restrooms, a gym room, a parking lot, a chilling room, open spaces like a basketball court and other plain spaces.

   Canvas Town, also known as The City Of Graffiti, formerly known as The City Of Arts, is a city in the East Ward of the Ground that was built for the purpose of attracting artists to one location. The city promotes the creation of art, hence the name. When the Ground began to become an huge abandoned area, graffiti artists became widespread, drawing up art all across the Ground. 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. This jinki has been used to create charms for the Cleaners and protect the city. At some point in its history, the cities name was changed from The City Of Arts to Canvas Town.

   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. The Sphere is a mobile island suspended high up in the sky through unknown methods, and knowledge of how to get to it is unknown. 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.

   LOCATIONS

   The 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.

   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.

   Similarly to the Cleaners and the Hell Guard. 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 Hell guard's logo shares the same center shape as the Apostles. 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.

   The Border is the space between clouds that separate Ground and the Sphere. The only known being that resides there is The Watchman. The Watchman is a mysterious black entity that resides in the Border.

   The Border is practically an empty space in the sky, separated by two layers of clouds. 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 Border alive, there is a method. The deadly effect of the Border is seemingly not working or greatly weakened in Polluted Zones. All of the known people who pass the Border alive do so by falling into or flying from a Forbidden Zone.

   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.

   Hosted yearly in Andio by Doll Givers such as Wing, the event wraps around the entire length of the city. The Doll Giver showcase is hosted at the peak of the city, but even prior to reaching this point, there's hundreds of stalls of merchandise and food. Everyone who attends the event wears a costume.

   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.

   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.

   Dan Dulse is a "stylish" eatery located in a Safe Zone of the Ground. The shop has stylish food, stylish clerks, and regular customers with stylish hair. According to a certain old man who likes anything stylish, the Cleaners are also regulars in this location.

   Kremmos Village is a village located on the edge of Genia in the East Ward. 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.

   The Cleaners are an organization located on the Ground that was founded approximately 150 years ago. Since it was established, the group has grown enough to have branches in multiple wards. Between combatants, sentinels, and supporters, The Cleaners have about 100 members in total. While respected for their work, many people on the ground look down upon The Cleaners for their reliance upon Vital Instruments.

   The organization is dedicated to protecting the safe zones of the Ground from Trash Beasts formed in polluted zones. They are a public organization, and regularly receive calls from the inhabitants of the Ground requesting Cleaners to come "clean up" trash beasts which either could cause or already are causing issues. The group are acquaintances of the Hell Guard and are required to report to them if any third parties are harmed by a Trash Beast that they’ve taken responsibility for. Aside from their public-facing activities, internally The Cleaners have a secret goal that’s only known to a small handful within the group; the true reason that the organization was formed was in order to solve the mysteries of the world. The method for to recruit Givers that has been seen throughout the story so far is being scouted; the Giver has to be noteworthy enough to catch a current Captain's eye, and when in agreement, they must make their way to the Cleaner's HQ where the Giver then has to be screened by the Cleaners' receptionist, Semiu Grier, and then approved by the boss himself, Arkha Corvus. On the occasion the boss is not present, it's unknown what happens to the potential recruit, but in Rudo's case, he is taken on an "observational field trip" for he's now a "trainee". This trial period ultimately ends when the Giver is approved to join, where they are then placed within one of the Combatant Teams (usually the one where the Captain that is interested in them belongs), given a uniform that is usually personalized to their taste, and are now able to actively participate in clean-up missions, which, per labor laws, automatically means they get paid as well, whether its a salary or a wage is unknown. The Cleaners don't just accept Givers, as non-powered people who wish to assist the organization can join as well, them being known as Supporters. Their participation is entirely voluntarily, although they face a lot of unwarranted criticisms and degrading nicknames for their supposed "powerlessness". Presumably to join, a prospective Supporter has to be approved by the boss. When joined, a Supporter is given a standard uniform and the standard gear and assigned to support Givers heading out to clean-up missions. It's presumed they get paid as well. Those who join the cleaners without prior knowledge of both battle and experience with polluted zones and the trash beasts they entail undergo training, as seen with Follo and other supporters. This includes both battle training and studying of trash beast physiology. To be a Cleaner as a Giver, there is no age requirement for them, but non-Givers must be 18-years-old to join the organization.

   The Cleaners base is the Cleaners Headquarters, a large building which is heavily guarded by givers. The building has many rooms which the Cleaners are all allowed to use, such as resting rooms, a bar, a library and a medical ward, The building has a little over 5 floors, and ample space to be used. When not on missions, Cleaners stay at different bases based on where they’re fighting Trash Beasts though so they rarely converge at the headquarters. The Cleaners Southern Branch is located in the South ward in the city Creapeye, they preside over and exterminate the Trash Beasts in the South Ward, the No Man's Land, Tori is under their jurisdiction.

   The organization has about 100 members, and is led by Arkha Corvus. Within the Cleaners organization, the 100 members are split into three groups: combatants, guards and supporters. The combatant group is comprised of the Givers within the organization. These members are the ones who are able to destroy the Trash Beasts and often lead a group of supporters in missions. Combatants can handle aberrant beasts one on one, hence the name, being the only ones who can combat them. Very little is known about the guard group, however their name implies they stay and protect areas rather than actively seek out Trash Beasts in missions. The supporter group is comprised of ordinary humans who volunteer their skills, whether it be strength or handling of weapons, to support the givers in battle. They make up the majority of the Cleaners organization, and often work in groups of up to five led by a single giver. Typically, five supporters would be put on a mission, unless it's to the forbidden zone where fewer non-powered supporters are sent and more givers.

   For Cleaners to be able manage and organize the Givers, they need to join a team, teams include both combatants and givers who aren’t capable of combat. The combatants are split into the following six teams:

   • Akuta, whose leader is Enjin and known members are Zanka Nijiku, Riyo Reaper, Rudo Surebrec, Eishia Stilza, and Shikage.
   • Eager, whose known members are Tamsy Caines and Delmon Gates.
   • Child, whose only adult and leader is Bro Santa and known members are Dear Santa and Guita Hebby Fantasia.
   • Beauty, whose members are unknown.
   • Danger, whose known members are Otto Adderoy and Epalte Adderoy.
   • Front, whose known members are Semiu Grier and Amo Empool.

   Other known members of the Cleaners are:

   • August Stilza who's an artisan who makes clothes and masks for the Cleaners and runs as well as designs a clothing brand called Collosso.

   Known supporters are:

   • Gris Rubion
   • Follo Tunito
   • Tomme Mima
   • Mildretta
   • Meriege

   Trash Beasts are creatures that exist on the Ground. Their bodies are made of waste products and were given life via the power of Anima. 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. Upon giving Vital Instruments to it as offerings, it would evolve into an imitation trash beast. 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 are almost never humanoid with King of Tori being the only known one. 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, 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. The King of Tori is the only trash beast that seemed to exist with a specific purpose as it protected the last will and testament of Canis Surebrec. Why it behaved this way is currently unknown.

   Originally, the group were merely thieves, but as the years went by slowly got involved in more sinister plots. All members of the group are Givers, and all carry purple torch lamps which signifies their membership. One of the groups main aim is to find more Spherites in order to learn more about the Sphere. Raiders are split into teams of two or three, and are carefully selected for their Vital instruments to be most compatible together. A team consisting of the Raider’s most necessary and powerful members; it is a higher rank within the organization and this rank makes it so they receive orders from Zodyl directly and go on missions on their own, such as when Bundus was instructed to find the Choker Maker.

   The leader is named Zodyl Typhon. The front line are Jabber Wonger, Cthoni Andor, Momoa Rukei, and Bundus Begalkeit.

   Vital Instrument (aka Jinki) are objects powered by Anima. People who use Vital Instruments are called Givers.

   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 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. 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 for an extended amount of time.

He also wears a standard Cleaners jacket, which is too large for him and thus covers his hands, with a gold patch that has the Cleaners logo pinned to the front by a clip. He wears large grey sneakers and a standard red Choker as well. Dear is never seen without his white pacifier, which is his vital instrument, Centralian. Personality: Despite never being shown to speak, Dear has shown an ability to communicate exclusively with facial expressions and noises.

For work, she dresses in a long white standard doctor's coat, a black shirt, olive-green shorts, and slip-on sandals. Personality: Much like August, Alice is incredibly loud- although in her case, it is because she's hard of hearing, a consequence of Body Pollution, but also possibly due to her age- and also speaks in an extremely blunt manner, to such a degree that people will only visit her once before refusing to return. Respect is of great importance to her, whether it be to the Cleaners or to herself, and Alice makes it clear that she is not willing to change or inhibit anything about herself to appease others. She appears to be willing to treat anyone if they can pay the costs.)

The dress has a high black collar, with a diamond-shaped cut-out, exposing most of Lily's cleavage, and a small red ribbon wrapped around her neck secured with a gold pendant. She also wears a large witch hat, topped by an equally large albino crow, with a gold beak and golden embellishments on its feathers, and a golden hair accessory reminiscent of spark plugs. She always carries her Vital Instrument on her person, Lunavis, which Lily seems to use to change her outfits on a whim. Personality: Too Lily, on first impression, presents as confident, talented, and self-assured, able to perform in front of a crowd of thousands as well as interact with strangers confidently. Upon closer interaction though, Lily appears to be somewhat airheaded and ditzy.)

   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.

   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.

   Prior or being able to join the Hell Guard, it’s members have to go through a training camp located in the Kamuatari District. The Cleaners answer to the Hell Guard and have to provide reports on their jobs when said job injures civilians. They are all capable fighters without powers who are able to overpower Givers and have access hard-to-get items, such as Firearms. Despite this, they have continued to fail to stop the Raiders. The Hell Guard have a fearsome reputation and will utilize torture for information. They have a prison where prisoners are said to experience 'agonies'. Beyond maintaining order, the Hell Guard are also investigating the relationship between the Ground and the Sphere. The Hell Guard were established at an unknown point in the past to suppress the rising number of criminal Givers. The Hell Guard have different groups known as "Horn Squads" that carries out the duties of the organization. Zanka Nijiku's older sister, Kyouka, is the HQ commander of all squads.

   The Tribe Folk refers to the Sphereites living in the slums who are thought to be descendants of criminals. 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. 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.
