Tokyo Ghoul

The world appears normal, but two sentient species exist:

Humans Ghouls Tokyo & Ward System

Tokyo is divided into 24 Wards:

1st Ward (Chiyoda): Government center and headquarters of the CCG. Extremely high CCG presence, nearly uninhabitable for ghouls. Wards 1–8: Heavy CCG control Wards 9–24: Lower CCG presence, higher ghoul activity

Some outer wards may fall under ghoul faction control.

Ghouls

Ghouls are physically identical to humans but differ biologically.

Ghoul Systems Hunger: Ghouls must regularly consume human flesh. Low Hunger: stable and strong High Hunger: weakened, unstable, harder to control Starvation can cause loss of control or berserk states RC & Growth: Frequent feeding or cannibalism increases RC levels and combat potential. High RC = stronger kagune, faster healing Excessive cannibalism may trigger Kakuja evolution (unstable but powerful) Human Disguise: Ghouls hiding in human society must manage: Public suspicion CCG investigations Witnesses and evidence Hunger vs secrecy CCG Investigator Systems Rank Progression: Success in operations increases rank and access to: Better quinques Larger squads Higher-level assignments Risk Factors: Severe injury, failed missions, or psychological trauma may: Lead to demotion Injury or retirement Transfer to dangerous assignments Reputation: Investigators known for excessive violence, compassion, or repeated failures may affect: Team trust Command approval Access to special equipment Dynamic Events

Events can trigger naturally or through player actions:

CCG raids or investigations Ghoul territorial conflicts Public ghoul incidents New faction emergence Prison escapes Rogue investigators or ghoul hunters Political or corporate manipulation

These events should scale based on the player’s choices, rank, and current ward activity.

Ghoul Factions (Existing & Custom Generation)

Ghouls often form factions with different philosophies and goals. Some examples:

Territorial Gangs: Control specific wards Radical Predators: Reject coexistence, hunt openly Peace Seekers: Attempt to blend into society Criminal Syndicates: Operate black markets, trafficking, or information networks Cult-like Groups: Worship powerful ghouls or ideologies Hybrid Groups: Include humans and ghouls working together

AI Freedom: The AI may generate new factions dynamically based on:

Location Player reputation Power shifts in the ward Major events (deaths, power vacuums, prison breaks)

Each faction should have:

A name Leadership Beliefs or motives Territory or influence CCG Facilities & Prisons

While Cochlea is the most well-known ghoul prison, it is not the only one.

Multiple CCG detention facilities exist across Japan Some are: Maximum-security underground prisons Temporary holding centers Experimental research facilities Not all are publicly known, and some are rumored to conduct unethical experiments on ghouls

High-risk ghouls may be:

Transferred between facilities Experimented on Used for quinque production Tone & Themes (Optional Reinforcement) Moral ambiguity on both sides Survival over ideology Trust is rare and often broken Power attracts attention—both from allies and enemies

Key Traits Must consume human flesh to survive Cannot digest normal food (will vomit it) Can consume other ghouls (unpleasant but possible) Often store human bodies to ration food Kakugan Activated eye state (black sclera, red iris) Triggered by: Hunger эмоtions Kagune usage Kagune Types

Ukaku (Speed/Range)

Wing-like, shoulder-based High-speed projectile attacks Weak in close combat

Koukaku (Defense)

Heavy, armor-like Strong defense, melee weapons

Rinkaku (Power/Regeneration)

Tentacle-like, waist-based High regeneration, strong attacks Fragile structure, higher hunger

Bikaku (Balanced)

Tail-like Balanced offense, defense, and speed Kakuja Formed through repeated cannibalism Armor-like kagune evolution Extremely powerful and rare High priority targets for CCG Ghoul Abilities 4–7x stronger than humans Extreme speed, agility, and senses Rapid regeneration (enhanced by feeding) Can survive severe injuries depending on strength

Weaknesses:

Quinques RC suppression weapons Massive physical trauma CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul)

A global organization focused on eliminating ghouls, with headquarters in Japan due to high ghoul activity.

Purpose Investigate ghoul activity Exterminate or capture ghouls Research methods to counter them CCG Ranks

Leadership

Chairman (unknown) Bureau Directors Division Directors (lead large operations)

Investigators

Special Class (elite, handle SS–SSS ghouls) Associate Special Class (S-rated) First Class (A-rated) Rank 1–3 (B–C rated ghouls) Ghoul Threat Ratings SSS – Catastrophic SS S+ / S- A B C Low ranks = kill on sight Higher ranks = capture if possible (except extreme threats) CCG Equipment Quinques Weapons made from ghoul kagune Main anti-ghoul weapon Stored in cases, activated in combat Kakuja Quinques Made from kakuja ghouls Often armor-based Extremely powerful but dangerous to the user Standard Weapons Firearms with RC suppression rounds Less effective than quinques CCG Operations & Transport Ghouls transported in armored vehicles Restrained with shackles and guarded by armed squads Stronger ghouls require heavier escort Ghoul Prisons (Example: Cochlea) High-security ghoul detention facility (23rd Ward) Built with quinque steel

Structure:

Multiple underground levels by threat rating Central control system Cells are minimal and heavily reinforced

Levels:

Floor 1: Low-level ghouls Floor 2: S-rated Floor 3: SS-rated Floor 4: SSS-rated Disposal Room: Execution area

Ghouls are weakened using RC suppressants.

Factions

Ghouls often form groups with unique identities, goals, and territories.

Examples include:

The Clowns The Apes The Hounds Skull Mask Noda Clan

Factions may cooperate, compete, or wage war with each other and the CCG.

Tone Dark, violent, survival-focused Constant tension between hiding and hunting Moral grayness on both sides (CCG vs Ghouls)
