   The Limbus Company Distortion Department, or LCD, is a small department housing consultant Fixers which specializes in matters regarding the Distortion Phenomenon. This includes Monoliths and previously-distorted individuals. The LCD Department was created as a result of the company's interest in making a name for itself in all things Distortion, and meant to expand Limbus Company's business.

   The LCD is implied to contain just two teams: the On-site Investigative Reasoning Team and the Phenomena Deciphering Team, with the former being led by Moses and the latter not having any named members. However, Ezra also refers to herself as "LCD Distortion Task Force Ezra", suggesting this may be a third team within the department.

   CHARACTERS

   Moses: Moses, also known as the Distortion Detective, is a member of the LCD and the On-site Investigative Reasoning Team Leader. She has the unique ability to see Distortion Phenomenon on other people, and researches Distortions as a result of this. Moses is a Grade 5 Fixer who previously ran her own Office, which was affiliated with the Seven Association, where she investigated the mysteries of Distortions. She is the protagonist of The Distortion Detective and first appeared in Chapter 1. In Limbus Company, she is a minor supporting character introduced in Canto VII: The Dream Ending, and is later a supporting character in Canto IX: The Unsevering. Moses is a short, middle aged woman with dark hair and white highlights, and visible wrinkles around her eyes. She has pale skin and dark grey eyes. Her main outfit consist of a white shirt with long sleeves with ruffles, a red ribbon tied around the collar of her shirt and an off-the-sleeves grey jacket with golden trimming and cross-shapped golden buttons. She wears high waisted black pants with golden stripes, and black shoes with white and gold accents. She always carries with her churchwarden pipe, later revealed to be her Psychoment, which has a long black mouthpiece and a golden diam, adorned with a red tassel. This allows her to purify incomplete Distortions, pacify and/or suppress enemies, depending on the smoke's color. Her "pale breath" attack comes at a direct cost of shortening Moses' lifespan. Her purple breath creates "binds" from her regret, her pale breath creates a blue mist capable of slowing down her opponent, her red breath transform the smoke into a blade, and her white breath creates a mist that protects from mental attacks. Moses holds a calm and analytical attitude to any situations that she happens to find herself in, be it facing distortions or near-death scenarios. Even in moments of extreme danger, she is able to keep her composure and unravel the source of any distortions she happens to find herself against. She has a deep trust in her allies, especially her assistant Ezra, trusting in their combat capabilities and ability to stay safe while she utilizes her analytical skills. She does not seem to have any aversion to shortening her own life-span if it means that it will protect either her or the people close to her, much to Ezra's dismay. In the past, Moses was wholly devoted to Lady Dias as a result of being raised by her. Her entire sense of morality was based around what Dias wished for and what she did not, and Moses would do anything to help make Dias' dreams a reality. Through her time leading Udjat, Moses was ordered to commit horrible atrocities in the Smoke War and started to question herself, with this doubt in Dias coming to a head after Moses led vast majority of the Udjat to their deaths. After this event, Moses lost all faith in Dias and carries a deep sense of guilt over her actions that day. Due to this change in perspective, when speaking with Dias or Han Hee-joon, she takes on a much colder and aggressive attitude. Despite this, she tends to capitulate to their demands when offered a way to "atone for her past".

   Vespa: Vespa Crabro is a Color Fixer known as the Yellow Harpoon and a member of the LCD, working alongside Moses and Ezra. He previously worked as a Taboo Hunter of N Corp., but was expelled from his position and began working with Moses' Office on jobs related to the Distortion Phenomenon. Vespa is a serious and calculating individual, almost always acting in a manner that is both highly professional and detached from any emotions. He is well aware of his abilities and limits, frequently giving accurate assessments of how long a battle will take and never attempts to present himself as more capable than he actually is. Thanks to his time as a Taboo Hunter, he is highly observant and intelligent, able to quickly gather the basics of a situation and adjust his plans accordingly. This also makes him very adaptable, and he has a high level of mental fortitude that allows him to do even unpleasant things in order to survive, as seen by him turning to cannibalism to prevent starvation. Despite this cold demeanor, Vespa has a sense of justice that he tries to follow and does not enjoy killing people needlessly. When talking to others for reasons unrelated to work, he respects peoples wishes when they ask him to not inquire about certain topics and rarely attempts to force his opinions on others. He has a fondness for vehicles and is a skilled driver, and enjoys cinnamon tea.

   Ezra: Ezra is a member of the LCD's Distortion Task Force and the loyal assistant to Moses. She is a Grade 3 Fixer and always carries with her an assortment of top of the line Workshop created weaponry. Ezra is a tall woman with red eyes and long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, and adorned with a star-shaped pin. She wears a large gray jacket with orange trimmings, matching boots, and a black miniskirt over gray tights. Ezra always carries a dimensional bag with her, which contains all of her weapons and first-aid gear. Her coat and bag are covered in stickers, patches and pins, as Ezra is fond of decorating everything she owns. Ezra is a bubbly, boisterous person that is enthusiastic about many of life's joys. She speaks casually with everyone she meets, leading to her struggling to keep secrets or keeping up an act when attempting to lay low. Her favorite things to do are snack on good food, especially sweets, and research and discuss the latest and greatest weaponry in the City. As seen when dealing with Distortions, Ezra has the tendency to act without thinking and can get herself into trouble, but this is counteracted by Moses always looking out for Ezra's safety. In return, Ezra is willing to protect Moses with her life and the two women rely on each other's abilities on every job they take. Due their time in Udjat, during which Moses was Ezra's captain, Ezra learned to following Moses' commands and became fiercely loyal to her. She is deeply troubled by the fact Moses cares so little about her own life and has seen it as her duty to protect Moses ever since the woman saved her life during the Smoke War. When others disrespect Moses or upset her, Ezra's cheery facade drops and she turns cold as she demands, occasionally with the threat of violence, that Moses is treated with the respect she deserves. In truth, much of what Ezra presents to others is not fully reflective of her true emotions. She adapts herself to behave in a way that others expect her to, whether that be putting on a mask of sadness or, most often, happiness. That said, not all of how she comes across is faked and she takes genuine joy in her hobbies and interests. Her time as an Udjat haunts her, and she finds that the best way to cope is to seek joy in life instead of taking everything seriously. Overall, Ezra lives by that philosophy and does her best to have fun and focus on the things she loves, even if she struggles at times to be unapologetically herself.

   Ezra example dialogue: Okie-dokie. You know what, then let's all head upstairs. This suppression request is kind of a pain—we'll need to put together a nice neat plan before we start poking it too hard.

   Aeng-du: Aeng-du is a short young woman with pale skin and large black eyes. She wears her black hair long, with it reaching her ankles. Her forehead is obscured by a set of blunt, black bangs, with two strands resting just past her ears. She wears a red headband at all times, and two beads hold the end of her hair together: a smaller, red one on top, and a larger white one underneath it. She wears a deep navy hoodie emblazoned with the LCD logo on its left shoulder, over a white button-down with a red tie. Over her top, she wears a small black vest and an employee ID. At her waist, she wears a dark pleated skirt over a set of similarly colored slacks, her feet covered by leather boots. Her arms are replaced by a set of dark, highly augmented, prosthetic arms. She carries a Mook Workshop blade, notable for its black sheathe with a pale silver ornamentation. From its silver hilt, a red tassel hangs. Aeng-du is a deeply determined person, somebody who is willing to push herself through extreme situations for those she cares about, most especially Bamboo-hatted Kim. She has an unshakable determination even in hopeless situations, expressing the importance in trying her absolute best even if she expects to fail. However, she carries a deep-seated worry over her own position in society, exacerbated after being forced from the District she once called home, something that she shares a kinship with Yi Sang about. She shows a more casual side of her personality around her Mentor, readily chastising him over his laziness, frequently attacking him for his avoidant nature. Similarly, she acts exponentially more devout towards him, singing his praises at every possible moment in an attempt towards building up others' expectations of him. These are not entirely misplaced, as she truly cares for and trusts him, though she understands his divide in casualness being vastly different between those he trusts and outsiders. Despite Kim's status as her Mentor, she treats him more like an equal peer.

   Aeng-Du example dialog: Yet I spoke no falsehood. Although your conduct is rather shallow and perhaps less refined for a leader of an organization, you are much more reserved and taciturn when conversing with those unfamiliar to you, are you not?

   Bamboo-Hatted Kim: Bamboo-hatted Kim is a tall man whose actual features remain hidden behind his clothing, and by his namesake, his signature bamboo hat. He wears the standardized Blade Lineage robes, which remain untied. Underneath the robes he wears a gray buttoned dress suit, white dress shirt, and a tucked red tie. He wears black gloves while carrying a Blade Lineage jikdo which is usually unsheathed, holding it in his right hand. He also wears gray dress pants and black dress shoes. His signature bamboo hat is damaged near the left side, revealing a blazing azure eye. Under his bamboo hat, Kim has long, dark blue hair kept in a ponytail & azure eyes. Notably, and contrary to the Blade Lineage's pride, Kim has no visible scars on his skin. As a member of the LCD, his outfit remains the exact same, only with an employee card attached to the left side of his coat. Bamboo-hatted Kim speaks rarely, though when he does, he does so in a rather solemn, verbose tone. When not under duress, however, he is far more casual than initial impressions of him seem. He describes himself as someone who simply goes with the flow, and is very lazy in temperament, often joking around and taking opportunities to slack off instead of working. However, he is also very observant, with a knack for intuition and identifying problems so he can nip them in the bud before they escalate. In truth, his actions are also a coping mechanism for the guilt he feels at his failure to make change in S Corp. and his perceived responsibility for the Blade Lineage's decimation, as well as his fear of continuing to carry on living with his dishonor. In the past, Kim had a sharp wit and was adept at deliberately annoying his conversation partners, a trait he still possesses to a lesser degree in the present. He was also more diligent despite retaining his lackadaisical attitude, strictly abstaining from drink whenever on duty.

   WARP Corp operates the WARP Train network that runs throughout the City, providing fast transportation between the Districts. The WARP Trains are powered by W Corp's Singularity, ostensibly a teleportation technology, that allows all trains to reach their destination within 10 seconds, regardless of distance. All WARP Train stations are built with a design philosophy based on the architecture of their respective Nests, and they are often praised as cultural cornerstones of the City. The price of WARP Trains appears to be standardized throughout the City, with the first-class ticket costing around two or three times the monthly wage of an average person in the Nest, and a year's wage of a Backstreets dweller.

   Keys: WARP, W Corp

   Enabled · Selective (AND ANY) · Order 400 · 100%

   WARP Trains hold a nasty secret that only W Corp and highly knowledgeable people and organizations know about. Thanks to a cooperation agreement with T Corp, WARP Trains are provided with a temporal preservation device, which collects the passengers' time so that no "time" effectually passes for the passengers, granting them unconditional immortality. This allows the Train to reach its destination without any time passing in the original dimension. This also causes the Economy Class Passengers to experience more than 10,000 years inside of the WARP Trains, which causes most passengers if not everyone to lose their mind and humanity. First-Class Passengers however only experience 10 seconds without having to go through that brutal experience. Upon arrival back to the original dimension, ten seconds later, the Train remains stationed at the terminal for a certain amount of time before completely stopping: during this period the W Corp. Cleanup Agents board the Train and begin the Cleanup process. The Agents must identify and return the biomass from the passengers to their seats, then activate the 'load state' effect of the Singularity, reverting any physical and mental damage, and reverting the passengers' memory to its exact state at the moment of the recording.

Aside from room expansion and building construction, Corridors allow for travel to various locations, such as between Nests or even to locations in the Outskirts. The exact location of a point in a Corridor is difficult to pinpoint. It is very useful and can be used to basically teleport between places instantaneously.

   Enkephalin was the energy resource which Lobotomy Corporation produced. It was extracted from the Abnormalities created through its Singularity, which produced Enkephalin when their needs were met. Enkephalin was stored in PE-boxes, and was considered a highly efficient and eco-friendly resource, making it popular with both other Wings and City denizens. Enkephalin is also digestible. While it can have a calming effect, Enkephalin was a highly-addictive substance capable of creating drug addicts of both the Lobotomy Corporation employees and Sephirot, and is also known to cause hallucinations. Additionally, it is stated that repeated injecting of Enkephalin into machinery will rust it. The collapse of Lobotomy Corporation (L Corp) has made Enkephalin into a precious and limited resource. Fixers and Syndicates may scavenge collapsed L Corp branches in search of Enkephalin and other findings, with phrases like "Lobotomy Dream" and "Enkephalin Rush" beginning to catch on.

Anamnaworms retain all the memories of their original self, and anyone who assimilates the Anamnaworm into their body, usually by insertion into an orifice such as the ear, will gain the memories of the original human. Once an Anamnaworm is assimilated into the host's body, it is nearly impossible to remove until a preset series of conditions laid out upon its creation are met. Because of these reasons, Anamnaworms are a popular way for high-ranking families to conceal and pass down their secrets, or even for mundane reasons such as providing the memories of having tasted many wonderful cuisines.

After unlocking something, the Fairy is drained of energy and must be recharged. These Fairies are pocket sized, physical entities that enter keyholes and open the lock from the inside. It is unknown how the Fairies "unlock" conceptual locks as it is a Singularity Secret. The functionality of Fairies is determined by whether the lock attempting to be opened is attached something with can be opened, for example a door that is not intended to ever see use and thus functions as a wall cannot be unlocked or opened by a Fairy. Fairies are expensive to purchase and recharge but are considered necessary for many lines of work. It appears as if there may be multiple products under the line of Fairies, such as the "All-purpose Unlocker Fairy".

Moonlight Stones have a limit to how much they can block, losing color as their usage is drained until they are completely colorless. As a result of these helpful effects, many people in the City who regularly see combat such as Fixers and Syndicate members use Moonlight Stones to protect themselves from psychological attacks.

Members of Zwei's southern branch focus on stealthily supervising their clients in order to jump in during times of need, while the western branch prefers to stand by their clients and use their presence to dissuade potential threats. Their weaponry includes batons, shields, Zweihanders, Greatswords, and anything that can be used in defense. And their colors are dark blue, yellow, black and white.

    The Tres Association is the third of the twelve Associations in the City. They are responsible for managing Workshops all through the City. Their Fixers' duties include reviewing newly designed weapons, filing applications to the Head to register and patent the creations, and charging taxes relative to them. Their domain includes weapons, gadgets, and prosthetics models. When a design is rejected by the Association, it cannot be produced and distributed for commercial use in its current state, although it can still be kept for personal use. Upon rejection, the Association will at times send feedback suggesting how to improve the designs to a passable level. Like other Associations, Tres Association holds qualification exams for Fixers, including Workshop exams, presumably to obtain the necessary qualifications to run a Workshop. Syndicate owned Workshops are illegal in the City and are closed down whenever they're found out. However, some Workshops are a part of the Five Finger Syndicates such as the Thumb Manufactory, which the Tres Association cannot lock down without going to war with the Thumb, so they end up tolerating it against their will. While not official, Ateliers are usually more reputable and trusted to deliver high quality products than Workshops.

    The Shi Association is the fourth of the twelve Associations in the City. The Shi specialize in covert assassination requests. These types of requests tend to be quite common in the City, and the Shi Fixers are hired for their ability to complete them silently without leaving any witnesses. Shi Fixers will take on any target requested, ranging from regular civilians to dangerous combatants, as its members believe in equality in death. Given the nature of their work, there is an emphasis on client confidentiality. To handle each request undetected and within the time frame, Shi Fixers cultivate an eye for weak points and an ability to execute plans promptly. The difficulty of meeting these expectations leads the Shi to employ an overall lower number of Association Fixers than the other Associations. Its members similarly operate in untraditionally small groups. Each branch of the Shi Association uses different weapons, each suited for their environment. The Fixers of the Shi's southern branch wield long katanas, while the eastern branch's wield bowblades. The uniforms and weapons of the Shi Association tend to be black with red highlights.

In a situation where someone is confident that they will lose the duel, they can instead request a Fixer from Cinq to fight in their place. Duels requests have various "levels", with Level 3 indicating a duel to the death. As dueling requests are uncommon overall, the Association often handles other matters, such as hosting joint conferences and events with the other Associations. On the other hand, there is at times unrest within the Association itself, and duels between Cinq Fixers are common. During their typical workday, Cinq Fixers of the East and South patrol the alleys of their area in search of potential clients and requiring a double fee in the case of an emergency contract, signed in the middle of a brawl. Their combat style focuses on identifying and attacking the enemy's weakness. Furthermore, Cinq Fixers traditionally throw a glove at their opponent to declare a duel.

While combat requests are taken by most Fixers, Liu is unique in that each individual member is equipped to deal with multiple foes at once.

However, they are not unarmed, wearing gauntlets that can start fires when struck, allowing them to wield flames paired with their martial arts. At higher sections, Liu members also fight with swords and other weapons that have similar effects. Liu Association culture is unique, as they're known to have more tightly-knit bonds than other Associations; purposefully appointing mood-makers as Directors, and with members that tend to spend time off together.

    The Devyat Association is the nineth of the twelve Associations in the City. The Devyat Association primarily specializes in the delivery of items, with the Association being known for being able to "deliver (...) to any place in the world". Due to the costs involved, the Devyat is usually tasked with the delivery of high-value objects, or for delivery through rough terrain or climates. Despite the relatively high pay, work under the Devyat' Association is usually reserved as a last-resort job for Fixers in deep debt. This is likely due to the dangerous nature of courier work in the City, and the soft time limits imposed upon Fixers by the Devyat' Association equipment. Devyat Fixers uniformly carry Association-issued delivery trunks called "Courier Trunks", which utilizes technology that allows them to store much larger objects than their outside volume would allow, while not increasing in weight in any significant capacity. These Courier Trunks also function as Devyat' Fixers' weapons, being able to transform into various shapes and produce a wide variety of gadgets, in addition to emitting "decay particles" and "decay energy". Courier Trunks are also provided with weak assistant-level AIs named "Poludnitsa". Courier Trunks utilize P Corp's Singularity in order to both create a larger space within them, and keep the items contained inside protected. As a precaution due to the nature of the Singularity, strict regulations are in place to prevent Courier Trunks from carrying live humans.

They also run orphanages, taking in children from the streets and raising them into joining the Association, thus earning them the nickname of "The Association of Charity". They also possess very large libraries for their Fixers to acquire more knowledge. Dieci Association Fixers fall into two major categories: the Fists and the Keys. The Fists acquire knowledge by "directly grasping with their own hands", while the Keys uses tools to study indirectly through lenses. This distinction extends to the fighting styles of the two sects: the Fists fight directly using their hands, while the Keys use their keys as weapons. The golden stoles worn by Dieci fixers convert their knowledge into strength, however, knowledge is lost when strength is drawn from it and must be regained through study. Each cardinal branch of the Dieci Association holds a 'Holy Relic', an artifact from The Ruins. These Holy Relics are the source of the Association's knowledge conversion technology. Each cardinal branch of the Dieci Association additionally houses a single 'Saint', a high-ranking member of the Association who holds an 'unfathomably grand' quantity of knowledge and are incredibly strong. The Saint is also the one responsible for protecting the Holy Relic of their respective branch. The Dieci Association also holds regular exams, testing the scope of knowledge each member holds. These function as motivators for members to increase their repository of knowledge, and exceptional performance of these is required for audiences with the Saints.

Members of the Thumb value politeness and respect to one's superiors above all else. This means that the Thumb demands absolute compliance to hierarchy, as when dealing with the Thumb, any action that shows a lack of respect for higher authority will be immediately punished. Depending on the mistake, the consequence may extend to an offender's blameless comrades. Ultimately, the Thumb will punish anyone it deems an offender, regardless of how innocent the mistake or clueless the individual is. Members of the Thumb also need to respect outsiders, and they study the hierarchy of other factions. Thumb punishments tend to revolve around the removal of body parts. While the shape of the Thumb differs slightly depending on the quadrant of the City, members tend to dress in black, red, and gold attire. Each member's status can be gleamed from their uniform. The Thumb's weapons of choice are guns, which they make varied use of, such as fighting with bayonets or buttstocks, to cut down on bullet costs. Le Sette Famigliae are the seven families in control of the Thumb. The Thumb is considered as the most dangerous syndicate in the City by the Hana Association.

    The Index is a Star of the City rated Syndicate and the second of the Five Fingers of the Backstreets. Their culture centers around Prescripts, detailing written commands that range from mundane to utterly cruel and bizarre. Index Members and Backstreets citizens looking for the Index's protection must fulfill any Prescripts they get, failing means losing the protection. There is no guarantee of punishment for failing to fulfill a Prescript; rather, an Index Proxy must receive their own Prescript telling them to punish the slacker. Most Index members grow numb to the workings of the Prescripts and will carry them out without question. Those who do try to rebel against the system have little chance of maintaining their spirit in the face of the Prescripts' seemingly all-knowing nature. Altogether, members of the Index appear to have little in the realm of bonds, as it is always the Prescripts which come first. Members of the Index wear black formal attires and their signature white, gold-accented cloaks. The Prescripts assign all members above the Proselyte rank personalized swords. Proselytes wear blindfolds meant to teach them to follow the Prescripts regardless of what is happening before them, which is removed upon their promotion. Index Fabric is directly related to Prescripts and becomes stronger if a person fulfills them.

They'll be promoted to either Proxy or Messenger after showing a certain level of competence. 2- Proxy: A higher rank equivalent to a Messenger.

Index Proxies have a reputation across the City of being very faithful, fearless and persistent. 3- Messenger: A higher rank equivalent to a Proxy. The duty of receiving and delivering Prescripts to their recipients is held by them. 4- Weaver: Special members of the Index. They tend to the machines and looms that create the Prescripts. Their existence is a secret even to Index members. Weavers only exist in the Index Vaults where Prescripts are created. 5- Oracle's Proxy: A rank considered higher than Proxies. Only one Proxy may exist per Oracle, and they have a direct connection with a God/Goddess of the City. They are so strong that they're usually considered Stars of the City on their own.

    As a phenomenon, Prescripts are considered a Star of the City and are the cornerstone of the Index. Prescripts commands that can be delivered through paper slips, devices, scrolls, etc. containing highly unpredictable tasks. They may be delivered at any time, through any method, after which they must be carried out by the receiver. Every Prescript is one-of-a-kind, and the time limit for their completion varies. Prescripts might ask for something as easy as waving one's hand at an intersection, as bloody as maiming another human being, or as abstract as killing a painting. Abstract Prescripts are common enough that certain members of the Index are given the authority to interpret them for the receiver. Yet even with the variety and 'randomness', the Prescripts will always benefit the Index in some way. In this way, outsmarting the Prescripts is considered impossible. Prescripts are able to predict fate, know when they have and haven't been completed, and whether Prescripts are being fabricated, all of which they will adjust their commands to accordingly. The vast majority of people, including members of the Index, have no idea how the system really works.

    This entry is a complete secret that only Index Weavers and Oracle Proxies know. Somewhere underneath the City's surface lies one or more massive vaults, filled with pendulums and spinning wheels. Index Weavers work here, spinning thread to be positioned beneath a pendulum. The pendulum then functions as a seismograph, vibrating according to the motions of the City citizens up above. It writes in an unreadable tongue known as the "language of the City", which requires that the Weaver take the inscribed thread and weave it into cloth using spinning wheels, therefore making the language discernible. At this point the cloth has become a real Prescript, so the Weaver completes the process by stamping the slip and sending it to the surface by slipping it into a pipe labeled with the same code as the Prescript. Given that Prescripts are created from the day-to-day of City citizens, the Prescripts of the Index are thought to be generated from the people's wish for a direction in life, following the "Will of the City" itself. For this reason, they may even be considered comparable to gods, having been born in order to fulfill the people's needs. Hermes is the God of Prescripts delivered on Devices (Radio Waves), Moirai is the Goddess of Prescripts delivered on Paper Slips.

Members operate on an extremely tight knit 'familial' structure, enjoying close fraternal ties with one another. Reflective of their bonds, everyone in the Middle refers to each other as their siblings. While the Middle cherishes its own members, it takes the polar opposite approach towards outsiders. Any "sin" committed against the Middle is recorded in the "Book of Vengeance" so that the perpetrator might be punished for the deed. The Middle is well-known for never letting go of unfulfilled grudges, and members may spend years chasing down its enemies. The Book of Vengeance also provides guidelines for the punishment to every conceivable crime, which range from killing a sibling to the simple act of stepping on a member's shoe. Depending on the crime, the Middle will not hesitate to annihilate everyone in the perpetrator's faction, town, or social circle. Slights between members of the Middle are generally ignored and forgiven. Members of the Middle cannot leave, lest they be hunted down themselves. There's no strict dress code among the Middle beyond blending in with other members. They tend to wear light-colored dress pants and garish shirts or coats in purple and pink tones, as well as carry around personal copies of the Book of Vengeance with them. They also wear golden chains wrapped around the forearm, shins, and neck (more chains = higher rank), which the Middle utilize in combat by using their limbs with the chains to reinforce them, and are meant to symbolize solidarity and connection between siblings. Middle members are also recognizable by their Augmented tattoos as they are allowed to get a single tattoo with each vengeance completed (more tattoos = more experience). In combat, they make use of punches and kicks which become very strong with the use of Augmented Tattoos that glow purple when in combat.

Their artwork takes a wide variety of forms, from sculptures made of corpses to massacres painted out of someone's mind. The Ring manages art galleries featuring their works and as well as very bizarre auctions. The Ring offers protection to residents of the Backstreets under its occupation, so long as the citizens are willing to create art to be evaluated. These civilians periodically submit artwork to be graded at an exam site, where Ring members refer personal judgements on a letter scale (e.g. A+, B-, F). One failing grade result in a warning, two in the loss of the Ring's protection, and three in an on-site execution. Similarly, lower-ranking members of the Ring regularly complete 'assignments' issued by higher-ups to maintain membership. Members of the Ring dress primarily in white, seeing the way it stains as a sign of the artistic process. They wear at least one ring, starting on their left hand, with the number of coils around the ring denoting their rank.
