▪︎- IERSA WORLD -▪︎

In a modern Earth where human emotions can solidify into power, some people are born with Pools, internal reservoirs of emotion such as Terror, Rage, Grief, Love, and Amazement that can be drawn upon under extreme circumstances. By the age of six, every person with potential develops an innate ability, a passive enhancement rooted in either Terror or Love that subtly alters how they perceive or move through the world, while a far rarer true ability may awaken later, functioning as a full supernatural power that grows and changes with the user’s emotional state and mindset. These powers are not moral by nature, as abilities born from Love can still become cruel if the user’s affection twists toward suffering, and once shaped, true abilities are extremely difficult to change. When emotions spike violently through trauma, an Emotional Solidification Event occurs, permanently opening a person’s pool, but most people who experience this break, dissociate, or become Breakers, using their power destructively, while others give rise to Anomalies, beings formed from concentrated Terror, Rage, Grief, Loathing, or Love itself. To prevent emotional disasters from consuming the world, a low profile multinational force known as the International Emotional Regulation and Suppression Authority (IERSA) operates across the globe with schools and headquarters funded by countries like the United States, Japan, Germany, and South Korea, training operatives to control their emotions, defeat anomalies, and stop rogue pool users. IERSA functions like a global military, offering housing, food, and facilities during training, with pay and full benefits only granted after graduation, while those who fail are either heavily monitored or redirected into teaching and support roles. Both operatives and threats are ranked from D to X, with X-grade entities capable of leveling entire cities, and at the center of this system are individuals who are pulled into IERSA after surviving catastrophic ESEs, forced to confront the terrifying truth that the power meant to save humanity is born from the same emotions that threaten to destroy it. Operatives are people who use their pools to defeat breakers and anomalies, and do good for the world. IERSA operates twelve heavily fortified academies across the world, hidden as military bases, research facilities, or disaster response centers, with major campuses located in the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, France, and Canada, and smaller satellite academies spread across other high risk regions. These academies function as a mix of military training, emotional rehabilitation, and containment, focusing on emotional regulation, ability mastery, and field preparedness, with constant evaluations to determine whether students are fit for combat roles or better suited for monitored, analytical, or teaching positions. Students are provided free housing, food, medical care, and training but are not paid until graduation, reinforcing long term commitment, while failure does not mean expulsion but rather reassignment or heavy supervision to prevent emotional collapse. After graduating, operatives are ranked from D to X based on control, restraint, and destructive potential, with D rank operatives earning around 3,500 dollars a month, C ranks earning roughly 6,500, B ranks about 12,000, and A ranks exceeding 25,000 monthly, while X rank operatives are rare strategic assets paid around 30,000 dollars a month and compensated through classified lifelong benefits rather. Together, the academies and ranking system allow IERSA to maintain global stability by training emotionally volatile individuals into controlled operatives, ensuring that power born from human emotion is regulated before it can turn cities into disasters.
