Outlands

**Outlands** are unoccupied territories outside of any major countries.

## Background

The term *outland* has been in use since the Occupation. Originally, *outland* referred to any area outside of a Combine city, regardless of the area's status. Its modern usage refers to the unclaimed land outside of officially recognized countries, though is more often used to describe areas that are uninhabitable due to pollution, alien life, radiation, or the cessation zones.

### Outlander

An *outlander* is someone who lives in an *outland*. The word has a rather pejorative connotation; outlanders are often associated with Benefactor cults or otherwise savage ways of life.
Issei Hyoudou (DDR)/Peerage

When Issei got his Pieces, he was lucky enough to get all of them as Mutated Pieces, even his King Piece, which was needed as well as Sona's 2 Mutated Rook Pieces to revive him after he was killed by Raynare.

Originally a sister who was known as the "Holy Maiden". She possesses the Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing which grants her incredible healing powers. First seen when Issei and Sona help her find the church, she is later rescued by the combined efforts of the two's peerages and Linze and Elze. After being rescued and also learning about what had happened and what could have happened, she decided to stay in Kuoh as everyone she had met so far was really nice and eventually joined Issei as a Bishop.
 Kaori Murayama (Knight)

First meeting Issei when she and the Kendo club caught the perverted duo peeping on them and was about to attack Issei till his friends stopped them and he woke up from his nap and made most of the girls squeal out how cute he was before he had a massive coughing fit that drew blood with Kaori being the one that asked what was going on, and also realizing that was why he wasn't peeping. Her and the rest of the Kendo club became friends with him and both her and Yui became close friends with him and went out of there way to help stop the rumors that were being spread about him. After learning about the supernatural from Issei and Sona after running into them after he had been killed, she made the decision to join his peerage as a Knight.
  Koneko Toujou (Rook)

Koneko was saved by Issei after some thugs tried to get her to go out with them and wouldn't let her escape till he came along and took care of them and even took her out for ice cream afterwords to make sure she wasn't scarred or anything. After that happened she became his shadow and was able to learn more about him, as well as both him and his adoptive parents unofficially adopting her, than what she had known before and didn't believe in the lies the rest of the ORC were spreading about him. After the punishment of her previous King Rias after she left him to die, she was traded to Issei after making sure that her absence wouldn't hurt her previous peerage members.

## Trivia

* While they all aren't listed here as of this moment, all of Issei's peerage has been listed within the story itself, though only one of his unused Pawns is confirmed on its place within the story. The rest are liable to change when i find someone else to replace them with.

* Issei currently has 8 Pawns and his Queen piece remaining.
* Elze and Linze Silhoueska are both characters from the anime; In Another World with my Smartphone and belong to Patora Fuyuhara, the author of the series.
Synth oil

**Synth oil** is a circulatory fluid found in Combine synths, most commonly Striders or Hunters. It is sought after by Benefactor cultists who often use it in communion rituals.

## Properties

Synth oil is a psychoactive substance. Upon consumption, it induces vivid audiovisual and tactile hallucinations in the user. During these hallucinations, users typically feel intense feelings of fear, euphoria or realization. For unknown reasons, these hallucinations tend to involve the Combine or the Union in some manner.

It is speculated that the philosophical, religious or political leanings of the user can greatly influence the content of their hallucinations. Some psychologists propose that because Benefactor cultists are devoted to the Combine to begin with, the prevalence of synth oil in their rituals can be attributed to confirmation bias.

## Production

Procuring synth oil is a fairly simple process. Upon discovery of synth remains, one pulverizes or presses any malleable tissues and catches the oil as it seeps out. However, finding synth remains large enough to facilitate the substantial extraction of oil can be a challenge. The introduction of synths into the environment occurs rarely; many remains date back to the Uprising or the early post-Occupation era and are partially or wholly decayed.

Some tissue farmers grow synthetic masses optimized for synth oil production.
Sahel-Saharan Union

The **Sahel-Saharan Union** or **SSU** is a Liberation state in North Africa. As a one-party state, it is divided into 31 provinces and three autonomous zones.

Until 45 AL, the SSU was heavily involved in global politics and trade. With the onset of the Revelation Crisis, however, the SSU was partially engulfed by cessation zones, leading to severe internal instability and the nation's separation from other world powers.

## History

The SSU was founded by the *Jeshi Kurejesha Uhuru* (JKU), a coalition of ethnic resistance movements. The JKU remains the country's dominant political party.
Kytheria

**Kytheria** is a country located in northern Canada. It is fairly small compared to other Liberation states, containing the islands of Melville, Somerset and Ellesmere, and has a population of 95,000 as of 50 AL.

Kytheria was established in 6 AL by the Condor resistance.

## Overview

Condor's activities prior to the Liberation were comparatively passive, focusing more on research rather than open conflict. Combined with a low member count, this made Kytheria a small nation uninvolved with the minutia of global politics. When the Bunri Sepexidum occurred in 23 AL, Kytheria's ties with Eurasia and Africa were severed.

The government of Kytheria follows a form of direct democracy.
Merrill Processing Center

The **Merrill Processing Center**, or **Camp Merrill**, is a refugee camp operated by the Urban Defense Department. It is one of two major settlements on the *Ante Diluvium* map, the other being Galatian.

## Overview

Camp Merrill is located next to Route 23, a major highway into Vance. It was originally a rest stop which was later converted into a camp following the onset of the Revelation Crisis. The camp is situated around a UDD outpost which also contains a Harvester office and a bounty center. Citizens of East Lambda are permitted to enter and exit freely; noncitizens must be screened.

The UDD-backed Vancit Militia polices the camp..
Dark energy flare

A **dark energy flare** or **dark energy cascade** is a type of exponential reaction in which a stable singularity collapses, releasing a pulse of displacement energy.

## Types

There are two kinds of dark energy flares: **stable** and **destructive**.

#### Stable dark energy flares

Stable dark energy flares occur when low-mass singularities collapse or when large singularities collapse slowly over an extended period of time. Dark energy reactors generate these types of pulses several times per millisecond.

#### Destructive dark energy flares

Destructive dark energy flares occur when singularities of multiple solar masses collapse completely over a small timeframe. Such flares release significant amounts of heat and kinetic energy equal to several megatons.

Only two destructive flares are known to have occurred: the blast at Nova Prospekt, and the blast that destroyed City 17.
Tissue farming

**Tissue farming** is the illegal practice of cultivating cell cultures or reviving existing synth masses to grow synthetic tissues. Synthetic tissues have numerous applications, including weaponry, cybernetics and synth oil production.

## Practice

Cell cultures, or *protobionts*, are extracted from revived synth parts or designed by bioengineers. With the addition of nutrient slurries and heat, the cultures grow into organs or structures as dictated by their genetic code. Bioengineers specialized in genetic modification, *bioarchitects*, modify the genetic code of the cultures.
Snubbing

**Snubbing** is the practice of limiting a vortigaunt's psionic link to the Vortessence.

## Overview

The vortigaunts' ability to link telepathically with each other and with the Vortessence relies on the use of sensory organs. Through the use of surgery or dampening instruments, it is possible to interrupt the function of these organs.

Snubbing was popularized under the Combine regime when captured vortigaunts would have their psionic abilities blocked in order to facilitate enslavement. While the Liberation saw the freeing of vortigaunts captured by the Combine, the practice of snubbing did not disappear. Vortigaunt enslavement continues to the present day and can be found most frequently in Benefactor cults in the outlands.

Some shackled vortigaunts became Torn.
Direction Theory

**Direction Theory** is a political ideology focused around authoritarian means of changing human behavior.

## Doctrines

Direction Theory proposes that human behavior is malleable and can change on a large scale given proper incentive. Building off of this, it requires that an authoritarian system of government is necessary to transition humanity away from violence and toward cooperation.

Direction Theory was first proposed by Lyall Seyler in 1 AL. Seyler, concerned that humanity would not be able to navigate the dangers of the post-Union world, wrote that tight regimentation would be required to train human beings to be cooperative. Seyler asserted that the existence of economic classes was no longer sustainable and that merit should not be rewarded in individuals, but incentivized in all people.

Practically, Direction Theory manifests as lightly authoritarian policies towards labor and class. The UTCE's post-scarcity model is the most identifiable example. In order to access national food banks, citizens of the UTCE are required to be employed by age 18. Individuals outside of employment are allowed limited "pensioner" access to food banks, but see punitive action if they refuse to work. The UTCE Contribution Office monitors the output of employed citizens.

## Prevalence

Direction Theory is restricted in practice to the UTCE and its protectorates, although several members of the Lambda Seat are vocal supporters.
Sylvmon

**Sylvmon** is a Fairy-type Poké.

It evolves from Evomon when leveled up while holding a Ribbon.

## Biology[2]Edit

### **Physiology**[3]Edit

Sylveon is a quadruped, mammalian Pokémon covered primarily in pale cream-colored fur with pinkish feet, ears, and tail. There are two bows on its body, one on its left ear and one around its neck, from which two feelers adorn it. The bows are pale cream with pinkish centers, while the feelers are pale cream with pinkish and blue tips. It has short, slender legs and small paws with three visible toes on each foot. Its eyes are blue with white pupils and no visible sclera. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw. Its furry pinkish tail is slightly curved in a crescent shape.

### **Special abilities**[4]Edit

It sends a soothing aura from these feelers to calm fights, and will also use them to "hold hands" with its Trainer.

### **Behavior and Habitat**[5]Edit

Sylveon is usually found in urban areas under the care of humans. It is rarely found in the wild.

## Base stats[8]Edit

United Territories of Central Europe

The **United Territories of Central Europe**, also known as the **UTCE** or **Central Territories** **(CE)**, is a country located in Europe. It consists of ten states - the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Poland - as well as numerous outposts and military installations in disputed Belarus.

The Central Territories is run by a strict military government following Direction Theory and is currently embroiled in armed conflict with Free Russochina.

## History

The Central Territories was established in 3 AL by Lyall Seyler as the final stage of an alliance between Trident, the Eurasian Liberation Army, and numerous insurgencies operating within central Europe. The first territorial draft encompassed not only central Europe, but Ukraine, Belarus and much of Russia. Tension between Seyler and ELA leader Engel Haas led to the ELA withdrawing from the alliance; an incident involving the death of Lyall's husband Jonathan sparked war between the UTCE and ELA-led Russochina.

The Central Territories' early years were marred by conflict with Free Russochina. Though conflict was restricted to the borders of the two nations, the flow of supplies to the war effort severely stunted growth elsewhere.

## Culture

Seyler's Direction Theory emphasized a strong work ethic and a collective, altruistic view of society. As such, the culture of the Central Territories is defined by strong communal bonds and human pride. This overarching sense of oneness merges with the local cultures of each member state.

Labor is given much focus. Workers' welfare and rights are prioritized in legislation and in artwork; automation and advanced technologies are commonly disliked for their perceived connections with the Combine. It is common for CE citizens to judge the worth of themselves and of others based on their contributions in the workplace.

The musical landscape of the UTCE is diverse. It is the birthplace of eurogrime and vortibass.

## Technology

The UTCE's stunted development in its formative years combined with anti-Combine technophobia stalled the adoption of automated technology such as in Kytheria or Psi. Machinery that renders human workers obsolete tends to be shunned.

The Grunermann Project was conducted in the UTCE.

No liftports have been constructed.
Гильдия охотников за головами

Гильдия охотников за головами - принимает контракты на поиск и возможно устранение людей. В основном они делают это в рамках закона действующей власти, но случаи нарушений были.

По сути любой человек, который имеет при себе деньги, может создать контракт на поимку/убийство/поиск определенного человека. Так же они могут быть наняты для проведения расслодований.

Члены гильдии професиональные сыщики, охотники и убийцы. Некоторые готовы выполнять только мирные контракты, но есть и те кто специализируется исключительно на смертельных контрактах.

На первом ранге вступивший обучается технике концентрации на противнике:

`Отметить цель (Ех): Один раз в день обученный может быстро сосредоточиться на одном противнике в пределах прямой видимости. Это существо остается в фокусе до тех пор, пока его хиты не уменьшатся до 0 или меньше или не он не сдаться, или пока обученный не назначит новый фокус, в зависимости от того, что произойдет раньше. Обученный получает бонус +2 к броскам атаки и урона по цели, на которой он сосредоточен. На каждом ранге в гильдии этот бонус увеличивается на +2.`

`На 4-м уровне и каждые 3 уровня персонажа обученный может использовать эту способность еще раз в день.`
Heaven Ranking System

Heaven's Higher Ups are split into three tiers depending on their status in the Story A Different Path to Follow.

Both the Seraphim and Archangels Tiers of Angels all have 12 wings but the Cherubim will only have the number of wings they had at the time of getting the title until they are promoted to an Archangel.

## Cherubim

List of people who have earned the right to become an Archangel in the future.

## Trivia

* Currently in the story, all of the Angels listed above are still listed under just Seraphim as we came up with this list after Ch 3 was uploaded and I haven't decided if I'll adjust the chapter or have the new setup come in in a later chapter.

* I already have ideas for who will be added as Cherubim and might add them here later or add them as they are announced.
* Raguel, Uriel, Sandalphon, Raphael, and Metatron's pictures are from Irregular at Magic High. Raziel's picture is Anos Voldigoad from Misfit of Demon King Academy. Remiel is based off of Halter from Clockwork Planet. Sariel is based off of Kirito from SAO. These could change at any time.
* If anyone has suggestions for possible replacements for any of the non OC pictures, you can post them in my discord in the channel set aside for comments on pages on this site. Discord link. The ones from Irregular at Magic High are set in stone right now but the rest are up for debate, though if you give me someone that might work better in place of them, we'll see.
Volking

**Volking** or **volkification** is a type of weapon modification by which a conventional firearm is outfitted with pulse technology that either propels the original projectile or replaces the firing mechanism entirely. Weapons subjected to volking are known as *volks* or *volkified weapons.*

## Overview

Pulse weapons offer greater accuracy, less recoil, and greater destructive capabilities than conventional firearms. However, they are difficult to procure for private ownership in most parts of the world because they are costly and restricted to military and police usage. Because of this, weapons mechanics sometimes *volkify* their weapons by replacing certain components of the weapon with pulse counterparts.

The most common *volkification* method involves replacing the firing pin of a conventional gun with a simple dark energy mechanism that propels the bullet with a pulse discharge. This method greatly increases the bullet's speed and, in some cases, the weapon's rate of fire. More drastic methods often involve a complete conversion from conventional to pulse.
Revelation

**The Movement of Faith in the Revelation and Return of Our Benefactors**, more commonly known as **Revelation** or the **MFRROB**, is a conglomerate of Benefactor cults allegedly formed by a patriarch known as Benefactor Nicodemus.

Revelation is the aggressor in an ongoing war with East Lambda and is also the primary cause of the socioeconomic disaster known as the Revelation Crisis.

## Overview

Details of life in Revelation settlements are scarce. Members frequently embark on pilgrimages to holy sites or scavenging runs.

Raiding parties are known to capture settlers and travelers. Those who are not tortured or killed are usually put through conversion regiments or forced to perform slave labor. Vortigaunts who are captured are shackled and used to generate electricity or perform labor.

Revelation mass prints books containing their holy texts. The recovery of these books has enabled researchers to create a detailed profile of their belief systems. According to their most common holy text, *Truths of Our Benefactors*, Revelation formed in anticipation of the return of the Combine, whose interdimensional access to Earth was severed shortly after the Uprising. Furthermore, Revelation anticipates the return of Wallace Breen, former Administrator of the Union, who disappeared after Gordon Freeman's raid of the Citadel. *Truths of Our Benefactors* asserts that Breen did not die, but was instead recovered by the Combine.

A major tenet of Revelation's belief system is the principle of *viewship*. Owing itself to the Combine's ability to travel interdimensionally, *viewship* is the premise that the Combine are able to view both time and space nonlinearily. Certain texts claim that Wallace Breen is able to view and judge the actions of humanity on Earth.

## History

Benefactor cults were common even during the Occupation. The assembly of smaller cults and tribes into alliances did not take place until around 30 AL, when groups within proximity of each other began pooling their resources to raid large settlements.

Evidence of Revelation's existence was first recovered in the winter of 33 AL. Lambda rangers on a reconnaissance assignment came across a series of sites containing *totems*, symbolic structures used for prayer. Mass-printed texts mentioning the movement by name were found alongside wood-carved fetishes and synth oil. In the following year, the UDD reported upwards of 20 incursions attributed to organized raider bands theorized to have been associated with Revelation.

On September 2nd, '45, Revelation forces broke through a border outpost in East Lambda and razed the town of Quill Point. After skirmishing with response teams, the raiders overtook another border outpost, effectively shattering UDD control over the area. Since then, Revelation has been embroiled in war with East Lambda, stealing significant swathes of territory and causing a refugee crisis with their expansion.
Hypermemeticism

**Hypermemeticism** is a psycho-social phenomenon. It describes a set of behaviors and mindsets that occur following the dissolution of one's values and moral standards, usually as a result of disillusionment and stress, which frequently involves violence or the adoption of misanthropic or prejudiced beliefs.

Hypermemetic behaviors spawn from mimicry of others who also engage in hypermemeticism.

## Examples

Notable examples of hypermemeticism include the Jigs and transcendent fascism.
Anderind

Anderind is a dual-type Ice/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Pufluff at Level 38 if its Attack is greater than its Speed.

This Pokémon became available in Uranium 4.0.

## Base stats[9]Edit

 * Minimum stats are calculated with 0 EVs, IVs of 0, and a hindering nature, if applicable.
* Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, IVs of 31, and a helpful nature, if applicable.

Transcendism

**Transcendism** is a political ideology concerned with "transcendence" from human instinct.

## Doctrines

Transcendism's central belief is that human beings should evolve beyond the perceived limitations of the human body. This evolution is held as purely spiritual, making it distinct from transhumanism, which proposes technological evolution. Transcendists hold highly utilitarian views toward life, judging the importance of things based on usefulness rather than fulfillment or enjoyment.

Those who follow transcendism tend to be critical of Liberation states and terrestrialism, which exalts the human condition.

## Origins

Transcendism grew from the sentiments of Wallace Breen's public addresses, in which he frequently denounced human instinct as dangerous and obsolete.

## Prevalence

True transcendism is rarely found inside Liberation states. A bastardized form of transcendism is popular within youth subcultures in East Lambda and the UTCE.

Eurogrime

Eurogrime is a post-liberation musical genre created within the UTCE around '14 AL. It's essentially an amalgamation of different European punk movements and genres, performed predominantly by the young and rebellious wishing to make a statement against norms, the state and their parents.

## Style

Eurogrime is an amalgamation of punk styles, however a clear definition is difficult to reach, because many groups fundamentally disagree with each other on what makes eurogrime separate from other punk genres.

Eurogrime is also associated with grimy and unsanitary visuals. Performances are usually held in abandoned subway tunnels or car parks on purpose.

## Involvement in narcotics

The genre and the many bands which perform it have come under heavy scrutiny by the media and government for their involvement in the advertisement, endorsement and distribution of the highly addictive narcotic, vitriol.

An investigation by the UTCE National Bureau of Investigations found that many leading figures in the eurogrime scene were directly involved in the sale and transport of illegal narcotics. As a result of the investigation several arrests were made, leading to a sharp decrease in the number of overdoses, especially those by young adults.

## Critique

The eurogrime genre and the community surrounding it is a very controversial topic within the states of the UTCE.

The genre and its supporters have come under heavy criticism by conservative groups for supporting activities which are seen by most as immoral, multiple bands have been sued by a variety of organizations for their endorsement of prostitution, the use of narcotics, theft and general disorder.

The genre has also been criticized by bands, artists and supporters of other genres for the blatant theft of intellectual property, especially in an infamous lawsuit in '47 AL, in which the local phenomenon and pop artist Theofilus Brant claimed that one of his songs was stolen nearly word for word and note for note by a popular Eurogrime group. The lawsuit ended in an unspecified out of court settlement. Brant was found dead in his apartment a month later.
Benefactor cult

A **Benefactor cult** is a group centered around religious or quasi-religious reverence of the Combine.

## Overview

Benefactor cults are characterized by their religious worship of the Combine. They are often highly insular and xenophobic, with most being outwardly hostile toward outsiders. Many have vaguely tribal structures centered around a single priest or zealot and the majority utilize scavenged Combine technology.

Benefactor cults are commonly found in outlands outside the reach of Liberation states. As of 50 AL, the UDD has identified as many as thirty cults operating in the Midwest alone.

Synth oil is often consumed by cultists for various purposes.

## History

The intense cult of personality surrounding Wallace Breen as well as the immense breadth and capability of the Combine inspired sweeping theological revolutions during the Occupation. Though the fall of the Union led to the disappearance of its official instruments, Loyalists continued to hold deistic views of the Combine well into the post-occupation era. These views often were accompanied by secret forms of worship and pilgrimages to extant Union sites.

As Liberation forces continued hunting and uprooting the vestiges of Loyalism in settled areas, Loyalists were pushed further and further into outland regions. It was in these regions, away from the dangers of Loyalist hunters, that Loyalists would come together to form cults.
Torn

The **Torn** are vortigaunts whose connections to the Vortessence have been severed. Such a severance can be caused by a variety of factors, but most often follows after severe physical trauma such as that caused by snubbing.

True Torn are rare. The majority of vortigaunts shackled during the Occupation recovered some, if not all of their Vortessential sensitivities.
Vance

**Vance** is the capital city of East Lambda. A major port city and the location of the Lambda Seat, Vance is the largest and most populated city in East Lambda. It is easily identified by Liftport Vance, which dominates the skyline.

## History

Vance was originally established in 2021 AD, one year before the Liberation, as Outpost Vance, a command center for the American branch of Lambda. As Lambda's influence shifted from Europe to North America, Vance saw an influx of new arrivals and grew into a proper settlement. However, Vance was not formally considered a city until the Lambda Seat held its first congress in 4 AL.

Since 4 AL, Vance's population and size have skyrocketed. The use of reverse-engineered Combine technology and the ingenuity of East Lambda's scientific community allowed for unprecedented levels of expansion and construction.

## Infrastructure

The UDD:V monitors crime through an extensive network of surveillance cameras that links to an array of servers located in precincts throughout the Inland districts. Additionally, emergency contact panels are installed throughout both Inland and Outlying districts as a faster means of reaching law enforcement than telephones.

Vance's seaside ports are designed to dock both antigravs and bubbleships to facilitate cross-CZ travel.
East Lambda

**East Lambda**, or simple **Lambda**, is a terrestrialist, democratic unitary state encompassing much of the former United States' eastern coast. Formed by the leaders of the Lambda Resistance in 2 AL, East Lambda is one of the world's most populated regions and acts as a node of technological and administrative strength for many of the Liberation states in North America.

The capital of East Lambda is the fortified city of Vance. The governing body as of 50 AL is the Lambda Seat.

## Overview

East Lambda is a regionalized country. It is divided into states corresponding to the states that existed in the defunct United States. Large cities such as Vance and Prospero are recognized as their own separate states.

## History

Talk of instituting a formal government had spread throughout Lambda even before the Liberation, but only in 1 AL did plans begin to solidify. Some early charters had placed the borders of East Lambda as far west as Kansas, but the dangerous and unstable nature of the inner wastelands proved too great an obstacle to contend with. A referendum hosted by the Lambda Seat in the city-state of Vance decided that the territory of East Lambda should encompass Maryland and all of the former states situated northward.

East Lambda was officially formed on November 12th, 2 AL, with Vance selected as its capital. The first president of the Lambda Seat was Judith Mossman.

### Transhuman Riots

In 10 AL, Vance was shaken by severe riots which later turned into an organized uprising led by transhumans. The uprising was quelled shortly after it began and led to the passage of the Interdiction Mandate, which declared all transhumans fundamentally illegal. The Reclamation Authority was created thereafter to facilitate the hunting of transhumans.

### Blackout of '14

The Bunri Sepexidum, which occurred in 14 AL, temporarily severed the Americas from the rest of the world. Transmission between major cities and other states was severely curtailed, leading to a catastrophic loss of communication that culminated in an event known as the Blackout of '14.

In the following year, Lambda and the UTCE coordinated a satellite plan through messages carried by diver couriers. The satellite plan involved the careful rearrangement of existing satellites and the addition of new satellites to create a complex system of signal transmission that enabled communication around cessation zones, but only throughout the month of December and on certain days in May, June, and July.

### Revelation Crisis

In '45, war began between Lambda and a Combine cult known as Revelation. The war generated a severe refugee crisis which prompted the UDD to close all borders and completely lock down Vance's districts.
Pulse weapon

**Pulse weapons** are ranged weapons that fire superheated packets or beams of plasma.

## History

During the early Occupation, human scientists were quick to adapt the Combine's mastery of dark energy for weapon systems. Pulse technology, as it came to be known, proved to be an effective and deadly platform for small arms and artillery. Resistance forces also made use of pulse weaponry.

After the Liberation, pulse weaponry saw continued use by rebel forces. Many attempts were made to mass produce Combine models, but the designs proved difficult to recreate. Refined forms of pulse technology based on the Overwatch platforms eventually became standard issue for numerous forces such as the Urban Defense Department, following internal lobbying.

Civilians sometimes convert conventional weapons into pulse weapons in a process known as *volking*.
Voidwings

## Description

Voidwings are usually black but tend to vary in purple and blue. Swirls of white scales are under the large wings of the voidwings and each voidwing has their own pattern. Voidwings have black talons and its usually very hard to tell if they write or not. All voidwings have dark purple eyes but they are often labeled as black. Voidwings also have long, flexible tails (Not Prehensile)

## Abilities

### Venom

Voidwings have venom that can be shot at extremely fast levels of speed from their tails. Anything that the venom touches will start to melt due to the heat it has. They tend to use it for making materials rather than attacking.

### Illusions

Voidwings have scales that can lift up nearly upright. Those scales are scattered around their body and have small glands that release a toxin that causes terrifying illusions.

### Shadow Creation

Voidwings can create dragons in the form of another voidwing or tribe dragon. These shadow forms have minds of their own and can be summoned at will. The shadows also have memory and are made as friends, therapists, family, partners, or kids. Up to Five shadows can be summoned from dragonets, Ten can be summoned from adults.

## Royals

### Queen

The Voidwing queen is Queen Monster, a pitch black female with the shortest tail in her family.

### Princes

Prince Terror, Prince Nightmare, Prince Pitchblack, Prince Insanity.

## Weaknesses

Most Voidwings are born insane or crazy. The others always go insane near the end of their lives.

The Underbelly of a Voidwing is extremely sensitive.

## Culture

Every year the Voidwings celebrate their spiritual figure, the Shadow Monster, a large shadow figure with a bone mask and gleaming red eyes. The first queen of the Voidwings was only able to make that figure. The celebration results in the weakest Voidwing wearing a bone mask that has supposedly came from the Shadow Monster. That Voidwing goes to the shrine of shadows and gets sacrificed.
Reformer (Civil Board)

The **Reformers** were a faction within most early Civil Administration.frameworks.

These 'new echelon' senators were often elected from liberal or libertarian backgrounds, inaugurated as an injection of 'fresh blood' to ailing city-states deprived of leadership and stacked with elderly bureaucrats and obsolete ideals. The Reformists of Kyiv were accepted following a minor purge of dissident political hardliners.

Among the Reformists were Jiroaki Kudo and Rubin Locke.

It was not uncommon for the Reformists to avail themselves on many lucrative posts, which made the general faction a who's-who of figures later murdered during the Civil Authority Massacre.
Modified Ernst test

The **modified Ernst test** is an examination designed to ascertain whether an individual is a transhuman. It measures various bodily functions and responses, comparing the results and providing a detailed report once the test is complete.

The test is derived from the works of Karl Ernst, a bioengineer who contributed to the Union's supersoldier program during the Occupation.

## History

To detect infiltrators, the first Harvesters used the original Ernst test, which was devised as a means of testing the emotional deviance of transhuman soldiers.

The modified Ernst test was created by the Department of Human Preservation, complete with a new set of criteria and an automated system for performing the test.

## Method

Transhumans generally lack the emotional depth of human beings. In earlier generations, this is due to invasive brainwashing techniques, which were often comparable to lobotomy. Later generations do not suffer from these techniques, but lack the emotional development and memories that contribute to an individual's personality and empathetic profile. When exposed to certain moral topics, most transhumans do not display involuntary responses expected from human beings. The Ernst test exploits this.

The primary method in the Ernst test is to provoke empathetic responses through a questionnaire. The questionnaire contains upwards of 100 hypothetical questions that are meant to invoke moral or spiritual dilemmas. In addition to the verbal response, the subject is also screened for involuntary reactions such as dilation of the pupils or flushing of the cheeks in the so-called "blush response".

In addition to the questionnaire, various other instruments are used to test the subject. Eye movements and reflexes are tracked via high-speed camera and compared against a threshold. The chemical makeup of the subject's skin membranes is sometimes scanned via laser.
Antigravity shuttle

**Antigravity shuttles**, colloquially **antigravs**, are levitating aircraft that use relativistic effects to temporarily cancel out the influence of gravity. Though numerous designs for antigravs exist, most active shuttles use ekaradium-based engines.

## History

The concept of antigravity goes back centuries before the Occupation. Pre-war fiction is rife with antigravity vehicles, but no functioning designs had ever been fully realized. With the arrival of the Combine, true antigravity vehicles were introduced in the form of synth air units and levitating facilities.

The discovery of ekaradium by the rebel cell Transmissions in late 2020 spurred the creation of the first antigravs in secrecy. After the Liberation, ekaradium was quickly adapted by the rest of the world, most notably the Zaibol corporation.
Liberation state

The **Liberation states** are the world's most influential countries, most of which evolved out of rebellion movements during the Occupation.

## States

* **East Lambda**
* **Federated America**
* **Free Russochina**
* **Kytheria**
* **Latin Republic**
* **Psi**
* **Sahel-Saharan Union**
* **United Territories of Central Europe**
Synth weapon

**Synth weapons** are ranged weapons with synthetic and/or biological components. Synthetic weaponry is rare. It is not officially produced or issued anywhere on Earth.

## History

The Combine made use of *synths* - synthetically grown organisms - in their cross-dimensional conquests. Certain synths such as Striders or Gunships were fitted with weapons that were "grown" organically despite appearing mechanical in appearance. Because these weapons were organic in nature, many resistance scientists attempted with varying success to recreate them from cellular cultures.

The application of synth weaponry was overshadowed by more practical technologies such as pulse and spinfoam, which led to its official abandonment. It continues to be developed and traded sporadically by arms dealers and tissue farmers.

Synthetic weapons are illegal in East Lambda.
Lambda Seat

The Lambda Seat is the governing body of East Lambda and all of its territories and protectorates.

## History

The Lambda Seat grew out of the loose body of leaders that directed Lambda's activities prior to the Liberation. The proto-congress that directed the broader strokes of Lambda's operations emerged shortly after the death of founder Eli Vance. Researchers Judith Mossman and Arne Magnusson, fearing a loss of direction after the death of Vance and the disappearance of his daughter Alyx, assembled a council of prominent figures including Leon Odette, Russell Myers, and Olga Andreev for the purposes of determining Lambda's actions.

With the passing of the Liberation came a radical restructuring of Lambda's leadership. The council that existed prior was reassembled into the Lambda Seat by Judith Mossman, who at that point had been appointed president of the Seat.

Many of the members who were on the council prior to its reassembly were given new responsibilities. Magnusson, Myers and Isaac Kleiner were given directorial positions in the newly established Scientific Progress Department, while Odette and Andreev were appointed directors of the Urban Defense Department and the Resettlement Department respectively.

As of '49, the Lambda Seat is headed by President Elena Mossman and Vice President Felix Nils.
Transhuman Underground

The **Transhuman Underground**, known also as **Transund**, is a loosely connected network of transhumans who live in hiding.

## Overview

Transhumans tend to be discriminated against or hunted regardless of their allegiances. Faced with hardship in Liberation states, many transhumans opt instead to go into hiding with other transhumans. The network of communes, refuges and save-havens utilized by transhumans since the Liberation has come to be known as the Transhuman Underground.

Despite its name, the Transhuman Underground is not comprised solely of transhumans. Human and vortigaunt sympathizers provide significant protection and housing to transhuman refugees in secret. Furthermore, the government of Psi is known to accommodate transhumans who renounce the Union.

The Transhuman Underground is distinct from the Transhumanist Movement.
Different DxD Revamped (Story)

## Summary

Issei Hyoudou is the adopted son of Iseki and Emiko Hyoudou but he has a secret; he wields one of the strongest Sacred Gears in the world, the Boosted Gear, and also has ice magic control but it comes at a cost. With the power of ice through his magic and fire through the Welsh Dragon, they are constantly fighting for control over his body and it’s gone on for long enough that the doctors don’t think he’ll make it to graduation.

Sona Sitri is the heiress to the Sitri Clan and has to deal with an overprotective sister and running the town of Kuoh with her childhood friend Rias Gremory, the Kuoh Academy Student Council, and her own Peerage.

What happens when these two find each other on the first day of school? How will their lives change after one game of chess?

## Plot

Issei Hyoudou was adopted as a baby by Iseki and Emiko Hyoudou and never knew his real past though he learned early on that he was not a normal kid as he had ice magic as well as one one of the 13 Longinus, the Boosted Gear, through the help of Griselda Quarta before she had to leave to train the next generation of exorcists but it wasn't all great.

With his two powers, Ice and Fire, Issei's body couldn't handle the stress of both fighting each other for dominance and started causing massive health issues for him as he grew up, bad enough that the doctors didn't think he'd live long enough to graduate from High School but that changed for the better when he met Sona on the first day of school.

## Author Notes

1. This story was my first ever Fanfiction story written by me and I'm thankful for the original author and the other person that has also written a version of it, FunahoMisaki, and The.Rayvenwolves respectively for the ability to write my version.
2. This story, while mostly following the canon timeline, is all AU in what happens outside of the canon events and has plenty of surprises in it that make it AU.
3. One major change in this story compared to Canon is that the King Piece is an actual piece used in the story and not banned but what all it gives as a piece has not been figured out yet.

## Trivia

* Link to the story: Different DxD Revamped.
* This summary was recently made to replace the current one but it's only in place on Scribblehub and not yet on Fanfiction due to word count restraints.
* This story is posted only to FanFiction, Scribblehub, and RoyalRoad in its entirety, as well as AO3 (old version of the story), and only the first 4 chapters of the old version on DA. If it's posted anywhere else or under a name that isn't deltanz, its not a version posted by me. As far as I'm aware, though no promises, the other two versions of the story, Funaho and Rayvenwolves, are only posted on Fanfiction.
Liberation

The **Liberation**, also known as **L-Day** or the **Uprising**, is the date on which the Universal Union's control over Eurasia was fractured.

## Definition

Historians dispute over the exact date of the Liberation. The predominant view dates the Liberation on September 19th, 2022 AD, when the City 17 Citadel was raided by Gordon Freeman. This is the date used as the epoch of the Olegian calender and for L-Day celebrations. However, numerous institutions in Federated America assert that the date falls on August 23rd, when a large section of City 16 was overtaken by rioters in an uprising. The TPC of Free Russochina declared the national date of Liberation to be August 31st.
