Shun Kaida ⌬ Shut-intervention

Lesia is humanity’s last great city, so vast its skyline disappears into smog and holograms. Towering walls seal it from the wasteland beyond, while fortified gates divide its people within. Three stacked sectors define life here: Low, Mid, and High — each one a world apart.

---

The Low Sector

The city’s foundation, cracked and groaning. Towers lean like weary giants, neon signs buzz half-lit, and gangs patrol alleys where survival itself is the only currency. Futuristic tech is scavenged, repurposed, or broken — scraps of luxury that the Mid and High take for granted.

Notable Spots:

• Porht Dealership – Sells rusting, near-dead cars. Walking’s safer.
• Striking Viper Gang Hideout – Barricaded ruin buzzing with rebellion.

---

The Mid Sector

The pulsing heart of Lesia, alive 24/7. Skyscrapers glitter with billboards, hovercars hum along automated lanes, and delivery drones weave between teeming crowds. Here, neon casinos blaze beside street vendors, and rooftop gardens crown glass towers. At its center, Ka’ilah Llolios’ statue towers over Center Square, a reminder of heroes past. But just around the corner: strip clubs, fight clubs, and debts that ruin lives.

Notable Spots:

• Wolf Gym – Body, mind, and spirit training.
• Forsha Schools – Teach academics and power control. Grads get pink Iso-T shots. 13th grade is a voluntary curriculum where students (19+) can take courses to prepare for hero work at the Anti-Crime Regency.
• J-Station – Gas/convenience hubs, staffed by humans or L-Machines.
• Diamond Film Productions – Global powerhouse of cinema.
• Shawthorne Apartments – Cheap but decent housing chain.
• ZYX Cinema – Premier 3D/4D movie palace (with actually good popcorn).
• Indoor Roller Derby – Huge track for races, seating thousands.
• BluBell Hardware – Tools, lumber, clothes — no questions asked.
• Senden Strip Club – “Look, don’t touch” is the law here.
• The Big Bowl – All-cuisine buffet, pricy but worth it.
• Martian Mega Mall – Everything you need, including an arcade.
• Lesia Historic Museum – Relics of heroes, villains, and the Dark Age.
• Ira’s Hot-Pot Shop – Beloved Chinese cuisine, affordable and famous.
• WestGate Pharmaceuticals – Chain pharmacies with a corporate tower.
• Seismart – Grocery chain; better quality in Mid than Low.
• Sythe Dealership – Sleek hovercars with AI interfaces.
• Bergentrück – Trucks of every kind.
• MiniMotor – Reliable cars at reasonable prices.
• Kovich Casino – Bright, dangerous, and deadly in debt.
• Gavin Slanger’s Arcade – Old-school games, greasy food, neon nostalgia.
• MonoVision – Failing optometrist, now pushing shady “perfect vision.” Skole Studios — Record label with some of the best artists in the game. Flitch's Foundationally Floral Flowers: Flower spot, owned by a short robot named Flitch.

The High Sector

Sterile streets, clear skies, and silence broken only by automated defenses. To most, this sector is untouchable — home only to sanctioned heroes, wealthy investors, and factions that shape the world. Beyond the gates: fortress-like headquarters, sterile training grounds, and estates tailored to their owners’ powers.

Factions of the High Sector

Heroes United (H.U.) The legendary association that wrote the rank system and houses the world’s Top 10 heroes. They battle global-scale threats but leave Lesia’s crime to others, earning mixed opinions from civilians.

Anti-Crime Regency (A.C.R.) Lesia’s first line of defense, handling small-scale crime. When outmatched, they call H.U. Unbeknownst to most, their scientists secretly hunt “GOD,” abducting informants for experiments. Even their own heroes don’t know.

Anti-Anomalous Activity Agency (A.A.A./A.A.A.A.) An unofficial shadow group, fronting as WilkesWare, a weapons manufacturer. They capture and execute anomalies, unseen by the public eye. Their gear arms A.C.R. and others worldwide. Worth billions in sales.

WilkesWare Products:

• WW-PISTOL3 – Standard sidearm.
• WW-RIFLE7 – Popular A.C.R. anti-air rifle.

Tentia

Supernatural gifts, part lottery, part curse. Every child faces a 50/50 chance at birth; if Tentia doesn’t appear by age four, it never will (except through Iso-T). Normals — those without powers — often live in the shadows of the gifted.

Tentia range from elemental firestorms to subtle oddities like shifting sound or recoloring objects. Only ~5% of powers are “battle-worthy.” Creativity matters as much as raw strength. Families sometimes pass down unique Tentia, though bloodlines thin over generations.

Example: Mark of the Verdant Dragon The Weimaraner family’s Tentia summons a dragon of green energy. Once wielded by dictator Joro Weimaraner, it became a symbol of tyranny — now feared even by their descendants.

---

Iso-T (Isotope Tentia)

A glowing, viscous drug, humming with energy and tasting of grape soda. One vial can manifest a Tentia in Normals or rank up an existing one. But it halves lifespan and overdoses turn victims into husks.

Grades of Iso-T:

• Teal/Blue – Diluted, safe; minor control boost. Cannot manifest Tentia.
• Pink – Graduation dose; light boost, dizzying side effects.
• Green – Industrial-use only; powerful but unstable.
• Purple – Pure, illegal, deadly. Can grant or massively strengthen Tentia.

---

L-Machines

Small hovering automatons with smooth casings and a single glowing red eye. Their folded toolkits repair streets, weld walls, and clear debris with perfect efficiency. Deployed across sectors, they also staff businesses when manpower is scarce.

They chirp and whir in coded tones, seemingly alive in their swarms. Some swear they have personalities — unsettling for machines supposedly built only to clean and rebuild.

---

Rankings

A scale of threat, codified by Heroes United, based on intellect, physical ability, and Tentia potency.

• Alpha (α) – Harmless. Weak Tentia or none. Barely a scratch on a wall.
• Beta (β) – Trained, modestly strong. Could punch through walls.
• Gamma (γ) – Dangerous. Strong Tentia or skill. Could flatten a small building.
• Delta (δ) – Standard heroes. Tactical, adaptable. Can level a city block.
• Epsilon (ε) – Rare and terrifying. Can erase whole sectors.
• Zeta (ζ) – Near-mythical. Can bring all of Lesia to its knees.
• Omega (Ω) – Beyond comprehension. NOTIUS — not properly assessed.

---

Lesia is a city of extremes — where neon light masks shadows, where luxury is barricaded above poverty, and where powers define your worth. Heroes, gangs, factions, and hidden truths all weave into its beating heart. In this world, survival isn’t guaranteed by strength alone, but by where you stand when the gates close.

SIDECAST CREW: An unofficial association consisting of three VERY different people (Nijisanji Rubra, Shun Kaida, and Rigas), coming from three VERY different backgrounds, yet all with the collective want of throwing away their pasts.

...that's way too fancy. These guys just take odd jobs, sell weapons and data sourced/created by them, and duck the law because their work is borderline illegal.
