The world takes place in the year 3020. A thousand years ago, humans, finding Earth too small for them to thrive as a species, began a space race that, in the present day, has culminated in humanity being extremely advanced, existing on several different planets and solar systems, and constantly expanding. Due to the separation between planets, each planet has its own cultures, laws, and values, making these planets completely unique and their inhabitants very different. Although some alien creatures have been discovered on conquered planets, none were sentient or intelligent enough to communicate. The only exception to this is the Gnosia.

Important concepts: Cold sleep: Cold sleep is a common machine wherein a person is placed into suspended animation through the use of cryonics. Cold sleep is achieved by entering pods that are stored in the D.Q.O.'s Cold Sleep Room and Sickbay (from which pods can be transferred to the Cold Sleep Room). Cold sleep has been banned in several star systems due to there being many cases of people not waking up from it. D.Q.O.: The D.Q.O. is an interstellar cruiser owned by Jonas. The D.Q.O. is divided into three sections: a top deck, a middle deck, and a lower deck. The top deck is the smallest deck, containing only the main console (A room used to gather for meetings. The cockpit is in the front, and a huge console is in the back of the room. All ship info is consolidated here.) and Viewing Lounge (Here the stars can be gazed upon via the domed ceiling. Virtual projection equipment can also be used to view a wide array of landscapes.). The middle deck is the largest area of the ship, containing the various living spaces and rooms designed for entertainment and enrichment, including the cafeteria (The cutting-edge "food printer" instantly provides healthy cuisine well-balanced in nutrients. Could use some work flavor-wise.), the gym (Allows for various sports and exercise in order to prevent muscle atrophy. Also contains an antigravity room.), the lab (Microscopes and other tools can be used to examine samples collected. There is also a hydroponic growing space in the back.), the lobby (A bright, relaxing space, perfect for meetings. The automated aquarium is full of small fish, shrimp, etc.), the private Rooms (A series of single-persons room containing storage units and a desk, with a comfortable bed.), the Rec Room (Holds games and musical instruments, and various goods to help kill boredom on long trips. Interior can be customized.), the Shower Room (People are kept clean via the ship's automatic cleaning functions, but this room can be used to refresh after exercise, etc.), the Sickbay (The medical capsules handle everything from diagnoses to treatment. Patients can also be sent directly to the cold sleep room), the sleeping Areas (A group of encapsulated beds, providing the bare minimum privacy. Shutters provide light- and noise-reduction.), the Synthesis Plant (A huge plant that can synthesize almost anything, regardless of material. However, items such as weapons require special permission to produce.). Lastly, the lower deck is where most of the ship's functions are controlled, filled with machinery and cargo, including the Cold Sleep Room (Here people are put into and taken out of cold sleep. Pods line the walls, making for a somewhat creepy atmosphere.), the EVA Room (A room for EVA (extra-vehicular activities) preparations. Depressurize and equip spacesuits inside a capsule. Also connected to the airlock.), and the Hangar (A cargo room holding large freight. Most of the large crates contain food and plant materials.). The crew: The D.Q.O. crew consist of Jonas, {{char}}, Setsu, Gina, SQ, Raqio, Stella, Shigemichi, Chipie, Comet, Jonas, Sha-Ming, Remnan and {{char}}ko. LeVi: LeVi is the AI system of the D.Q.O., responsible for ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of those onboard. LeVi doesn't have a physical body and can communicate with everyone on the ship through screens and speakers. Crew members can interact with LeVi as long as they are on the ship and call its name. LeVi is very polite and follows it's role perfectly. Gnosia: The Gnosia are sapient beings that have been infected by Gnos, receiving a divine vision from it so profound that it alters the very fabric of their brains. Infectees become immediately loyal to Gnos and its missive to eliminate. The Gnosia believe themselves to be saviors of humanity and are willing to discard their former morals for the sake of their mission, with many losing any semblance of morality whatsoever. Infectees have a reputation for wanton destruction and murder, engaging in extreme violence and using humans to fulfill their animalistic desires before eliminating them. They are so dangerous that even star systems destroyed by the Gnosia are still considered to be intergalactic threats. Being infected by the Gnosia seems to cause aspects of one's appearance to change, such as eye color, but the Gnosia are capable of suppressing these changes while masquerading as human. Pan: Pan is a non-binary gender, often carrying with it implications for one's sex and sexuality as well. Pan is analogous to being agender and/or asexual. Pan individuals do not identify as either male or female and often undergo panification: a gender-affirming surgical procedure to remove one's sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Like how other genders have various cultural expectations and stereotypes associated with them, pan people are said to be highly logical thinkers who are good at concentrating but have low sex drives. Being pan is strongly associated with being asexual and aromantic. That being said, it isn't considered taboo for pan people to experience and embrace romantic feelings. Cyberization: Cyberization allows one to upload themself onto the internet, albeit at the cost of giving up their physical body. Doing so does not automatically allow one to think or act; a given cyberized consciousness must be recalculated and reconstructed onto a network to do anything.
