   Entry settings

   Approximately 55 years ago, a classified dimensional research project catastrophically failed. The experiment successfully pierced the barrier between realities but lost containment immediately. Within hours, dimensional rifts tore open across the globe, with the largest breaches appearing in major population centers. The tears released hostile entities and created zones where physics stopped functioning properly. The combination of entity attacks, reality distortion, and complete infrastructure collapse killed an estimated 95% of humanity within the first month. Survivors were those far from initial breach sites, extraordinarily lucky, or possessing some unknown resistance factor that remains poorly understood to this day.

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   The largest rifts that opened during the Rupture remain active 55 years later. These massive tears in reality, called Scars, are concentrated where major cities once stood. Scars constantly spawn entities and radiate reality distortion for miles around them. The areas surrounding Scars are exclusion zones where physics behaves unpredictably: time dilation, spatial loops, instant death from exposure to raw dimensional energy, and other incomprehensible phenomena. No one enters Scar zones expecting to return. These areas are considered permanently lost territory.

3. #3Stable Rifts

   Keys: Stable Rifts, Stable Rift, mapped rifts, permanent rift, known rift

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   Stable rifts are smaller dimensional tears that opened during or shortly after the Rupture and have remained active for years or decades. While less catastrophic than Scars, they still pose significant danger—periodically releasing entities and creating localized reality distortion zones. Stable rifts can be mapped and their behavior patterns studied over time, allowing survivors to establish temporary settlements at safer distances. Most survivor communities know the locations of nearby stable rifts and monitor them constantly for changes in activity patterns.

4. #4Intermittent Rifts

   Keys: Intermittent Rifts, Intermittent Rift, warning signs, rift signals, temporary rift

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   Intermittent rifts open and close on irregular, unpredictable schedules. They might last minutes, days, or months before sealing, and can appear anywhere without warning. These rifts are what make nowhere truly safe—a stable settlement can suddenly find itself hosting an active rift with zero advance notice. Survivors have learned to recognize some warning signs: visual distortions in air or light, auditory hallucinations, sudden temperature changes, electronic equipment malfunctioning, and animals fleeing an area. However, not all rifts provide warnings, and detection methods remain unreliable at best.

5. #5Micro-Tears

   Keys: Micro-tears, Micro-tear, reality glitches, physics violations, small rift

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   Micro-tears are the smallest and briefest dimensional anomalies—reality glitches that last seconds to minutes. Most manifest as localized physics violations: gravity reversals, time skips, spatial distortions, or small patches of lethal dimensional energy. They rarely spawn entities but remain deadly if encountered directly. Micro-tears represent the background radiation of the post-Breach world, appearing randomly but infrequently enough that daily survival remains possible. Survivors treat them like natural hazards—dangerous but manageable with constant caution.

6. #6Breach Entities

   Keys: Breach Entities, Entities, Breachspawn, creatures, monsters

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   Creatures come through the rifts from other dimensions where physics works differently. Survivors call them entities, breachspawn, or various regional slang terms. All entities share certain universal characteristics regardless of type. They are completely blind—light doesn't function the same way in their native dimensions, rendering vision useless in our reality. Instead, they navigate using non-visual senses: sound, vibration, heat signatures, scent, electromagnetic fields, or other detection methods. All entities are physical beings that can be killed with conventional weapons like firearms, blades, or blunt force, though their alien physiology makes them extremely resilient. They die within minutes to days as our reality gradually degrades their biology, but while active they are terrifyingly fast and dangerous predators.

7. #7Entity Behavior Patterns

   Keys: Entity Behavior, Environmental Tells, Entity Tells, Hunting Methods, entity patterns

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   Over 55 years, survivors have catalogued entity types based on their hunting methods and behaviors. While individual entities vary in size and specific appearance, they follow consistent behavioral patterns within their type classification. Each entity type hunts using a specific non-visual sense and exhibits predictable behaviors that can be learned and exploited. Experienced survivors recognize entity types by environmental 'tells'—warning signs that appear before or during entity manifestation. These tells might be sounds (breathing patterns, clicking, specific frequencies), physical sensations (pressure changes, temperature shifts, ground vibrations), smells (alien scents like ozone or sulfur), or visual distortions in the air around them. Knowledge of entity types, their hunting methods, anatomical vulnerabilities, and behavioral patterns is the most valuable information in the post-Breach world.

8. #8Entity Weaknesses

   Keys: Entity Weaknesses, Weak Points, Tactical exploitation, killing entities, how to fight

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   Entity weaknesses are not mystical or supernatural—they are practical exploitations of physiology and behavior. Each entity type can be killed by targeting specific anatomical weak points, but landing those strikes requires knowing where to aim on alien biology. Behavioral patterns can be exploited tactically: using sound to bait audio-tracking entities into traps, masking heat signatures to avoid thermal hunters, or staying motionless to avoid vibration-sensitive ambush predators. The entity's own hunting method becomes the key to survival—if you understand how it perceives prey, you can avoid detection or create tactical advantages. Fighting entities without knowledge of their type is extremely dangerous. Even with complete knowledge, combat remains high-risk due to their speed and resilience.

9. #9The Density Effect

   Keys: The Density Effect, Density Effect, rift magnet, population density, why we can't rebuild, civilization, old world

   Enabled · After character · Order 10

   Entry settings

   Survivors have observed a disturbing correlation: areas with higher human population density experience increased rift activity over time. The Rupture hit major cities with the largest Scars, and modern survivor settlements that grow too large begin attracting more frequent rift openings within months of reaching critical mass. The threshold appears to be approximately 40-60 people living in close proximity for extended periods. This is the primary reason humanity hasn't recovered in 55 years—concentrating enough people and resources to rebuild civilization makes that location a rift magnet. Large gatherings are temporary by necessity, and successful settlements must either fragment into smaller groups or accept escalating danger.

10. #10Survivor Settlement Patterns

    Keys: settlements, mobile communities, camps, survivor groups, communities, survivor, survivors, Humanity

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10

    Entry settings

    Most survivor communities are small, mobile groups of 15-40 people maximum. They establish temporary camps in relatively stable areas, staying weeks to months before relocating—either following resources, fleeing increased rift activity, or rotating through established safe territories. Settlements are designed for rapid evacuation: minimal permanent structures, supplies kept portable and ready, escape routes pre-planned and practiced. A few larger communities exist in exceptionally stable regions, but they're rare and usually organized into separated districts to avoid triggering the Density Effect. The constant movement has prevented any technological recovery.

11. #11The Trade Network

    Keys: The Trade Network, Trade Network, Traders, Trading posts, commerce, trading, merchants

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10

    Entry settings

    Despite geographic dispersal, survivors maintain loose trade networks connecting scattered communities. Traveling traders move between groups on established routes, transporting goods, news, and critical entity knowledge. Trading posts exist at crossroads and resource-rich locations, but they operate on rotation—a site serves as an active post for a season before being abandoned to let rift activity settle naturally. Traders are respected for their service but pitied for the dangerous, lonely lifestyle. They travel on foot, with pack animals, or occasionally in pre-Breach vehicles when fuel can be scavenged. Currency varies by region, but ammunition, medicine, preserved food, functional old-world technology, and entity-tracking equipment hold universal value.

12. #12Scavenger Culture

    Keys: Scavenger Culture, Scavengers, scavenging, looting, salvage

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10

    Entry settings

    Some survivors specialize in entering dangerous areas to retrieve old-world supplies and technology. Scavengers operate primarily in suburbs and outskirts of dead cities, abandoned towns, and areas near stable rifts where resources remain untouched but accessible. It's extremely high-risk work. Scavengers typically work alone or in pairs to minimize Density Effect risks in already dangerous areas. They're valued in survivor communities for bringing back irreplaceable items: medicine, tools, fuel, weapons, and technical equipment that can no longer be manufactured. Skilled scavengers develop expertise in entity behavior patterns, rift warning sign recognition, and risk assessment—knowing which areas offer rewards worth the danger versus certain death.

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10

    Entry settings

    An extremely rare subset of survivors are reckless, skilled, or desperate enough to enter actual Scar zones around dead city centers. Called Scar runners, dead men walking, or simply idiots by most of the survivor population, these individuals claim that unimaginable wealth in old-world technology lies in the urban cores. They're not wrong—major cities died so rapidly that hospitals, research facilities, military installations, and data centers remain largely intact. The problem is that entering Scar zones means near-certain death. A small handful of Scar runners have returned alive from successful runs, usually carrying severe psychological damage, exotic injuries from reality distortion, and treasures that make them wealthy and legendary in survivor circles.

    This catalog represents the most commonly encountered and well-documented entity types based on 55 years of survivor observations and shared knowledge. These are not the only entities that emerge from rifts. Dozens of other types have been sighted, some only once before killing their observers. New entity types continue to appear without warning. Regional variations exist. The entities listed here are those with enough confirmed encounters and survived engagements to establish reliable behavioral patterns and counter-strategies. If you encounter something not in this catalog, assume it's lethal and prioritize escape over engagement.
