Eckhart's Society for Preternatural Research

**Eckhart's Society for Preternatural Research**, alternatively known as **ESPR** or just **The Society**, is an organization dedicated to the Lake of Knowledge and aims to make it whole. While it is notorious among many commoners for its occult background, the Society is recognized as highly dangerous to the world by its longtime adversary, the Prydwen Institution, due its connections to the Demon Lord Gha'agsheblah. The President of the Society has the duty of harboring the Lake within their body and keeping it under control.

The Society also secretly established the pharmaceutical giant Jehuty Biotech and used it as a front for their human experiments until the company's collapse. It also had an alliance with the Elysium Philharmonic until Regina MacCready officially became the Society's President for Life.

## Background

According to folklore, an ancestor of the MacCready family named Eckhart established ESPR after he saw a revelation of the Lake of Knowledge while he was shipwrecked. The Society had apparently used a fictional horror story as a basis for finding the Lake and derived their findings from occult texts. In reality, the Society's true goal is find prey for the Lake of Knowledge to consume in order to satisfy its everlasting desire for knowledge. As the Lake makes up a part of Gha'agsheblah, members of the Society effectively serve as Apostles of the Demon Lord. The President of the Society, which is almost always a member of the MacCready family, is responsible for keeping Gha'agsheblah and its fragments under control by using a special Counter Watch can subdue the Demon Lord's intense hunger.

## Cho Hojin (조호진)

* Base

* Base

**Cho Hojin** (조호진), known as Itou Mayami (イトウ • マユミ) in the Japanese localization, is a high school student at the Administration Counter Academy and a member of its White Rabbit club.

## Collection Profile

*Cho Hojin is an all-around ranged attacker who makes up for lack of combat abilities with luck.*

*She can never ignore anyone in trouble, which made her join the animal rescue club, White Rabbit. Now she is doing her best to keep up with school while rescuing animals. In White Rabbit, she is the clumsy member and the person in charge of snacks.*

*So far, she has stopped more then 100 cases of possible civilian causalities, but it is a mystery why such accidents always happen around her.*

*She acquired her Watch at a young age, but it hasn't been long since she realized that she is actually a Counter.*

## Abilities

### Powers

* **Enhanced physiology:** As with most Counters, Cho Hojin has some level of innate resistance to Corruption rays.
* **Luck manipulation:** Hojin has the ability to grant her luck. This is actually far more powerful and dangerous (to others) than it sounds as she can warp reality to make any situation more favorable to her, even when she is not present. The Administrator speculates that the ability may involve removing the luck of others around her.

### Equipment

* **IVORY Clover-1:** A submachine gun based on the KRISS Vector.
* **Lucky purse:** A purse that she sometimes uses to attack opponents.
* **Tactical vest:** A vest that includes magazine pouches.

### Weaknesses

Hojin appears to have no conscious control over her ability to manipulate luck (and apparently doesn't even realize she can do so), though this drawback is rather benign considering how things nevertheless always turn out well for her.

Gerard Curian

* Gerard Curian
* Great Shadow's Fragment

**Gerard Curian** was the commander of the 1st Musketeer Divsion. He was known to be the strongest Counter in Nordnavik. However, no one had ever seen his real face before, and virtually all of his records were erased after Avalon's fall.

## History

### Day of Corruption

During the Grand Purification War, Nordnavik came under heavy attack by hordes of Corrupted Objects. The 1st Musketeer Division was tasked with securing and relocating the Key of Avalon's Gate, with Curian being the only one knowing what the Artifact looked like. On the way to Deer Root, the Musketeers were ambushed and nearly eradicated by Medius, a member of the Elysium Philharmonic. To keep the Key safe, Curian jabbed it into the chest of his adjutant, David Rashford, and sent him away on his armored horse, Hermit. Curian and Medius then resumed fighting, almost killing each other off; Curian would end up turning into a Shadow (specifically a Tyrant Sword while Medius barely survived through her core.

### Reawakening

Twenty-one years after Avalon's fall, the Royal Border Guards, in a joint investigation with the National Reconstruction Alliance and Jehuty Biotech, ventured into Deer Root to search for the missing key. When Hanna Anderson found appeared to be the Key (in actuality Medius's cymbals) among the pile of corpses of the former Musketeers, Shadow Curian ambushed the investigation team. While everyone else retreated, David, then an amnesiac who believed himself to be the real Curian, and Ella lure the Shadow away to a closed-off mine while Watt steers a bomb-filled train and used to strike and bury him into the mine. As he was forced into the mine, Curian tried to tell the group that the Key must be protected.

The next day, while the revived Medius was fighting off the Royal Guards, Curian emerged from the mine and attempted to attack Medius. However, Medius was able to take control of the Curian and use him as her pawn. David arrived at the battlefield and, together with the other guardsmen, defeated Curian as well as Medius.

Children's Day stories

Players who buy the "Children's Day" skins for Sylvia Lena Cooper, Jane Doe, Eddie Fisher and Lee Yumi will receive exclusive stories for each respective employee. Each story revolves around a specific moment from their past.

## Sylvia Lena Cooper

Sylvia is on her computer scouring the web to see what she can hack. While surfing the Administration's database, she spots a petty data thief trying to break into the system, so she swiftly reports him to the Administration's security team. Immediately thereafter, the thief lambasts and threatens her for prying into his business, claiming to have earlier bought out the security team for access into the database. Sylvia calls out his bluff and hacks into his computer, where she finds a list of Gronian rebels who took bribes; she then makes the thief go offline by threatening to expose him to the rebels.

Afterwards, Sylvia checks her email and finds a new message from the Administrator, who recognizes her talent and thanks her for thwarting numerous data theft attempts against their company.

## Jane Doe

Jane is pretending to make juices by mixing various juices. She notices the Administrator looking at her and asks him to try out her concoctions. After drinking two of them, he playfully says Jane can make money off her mixed drinks, but Jane says she'd be happier if she created a medicine that could cure any disease. She suggests they make a mixture together and asks for the Administrator's name, only to see that he has left he room.

## Eddie Fisher

As they walk home on a rainy day, Eddie Fisher's daughter tells her father that she enjoyed playing at the park with him today. She wishes she pleads for him to stop going on business trips so she can spend more time with him, but Eddie reminds her that he has to work and reassures her that he shares the same feelings as her; Eddie's daughter is nonetheless happy that her father's work involves protecting people.

The Administrator bumps into the two of them. Claiming to be someone who once received protection by Eddie, he offers Eddie's daughter a large stuffed rabbit as gratitude before leaving. Eddie asks his daughter what she will name the doll , and she answers she'll call it "Whale."

## Lee Yumi

While visiting a park and waiting for the parade to start, Lee Yumi's sister asks Yumi what she wants to be when she grows up. Yumi answers she wants to be a baker beofer asking the same question in return. Yumi's sister replies she'll become a bodyguard who will root for Yumi so that her dream will come true and protect her from harm. Inspired, Yumi too decides she'll beome a body guard as well as a baker to do the same for her sister.

Yumi bumps into the Administrator and drops the bread she was eating. The person offers their croissant as an apology while they take the bread and feed it to the fish nearby. As the parade is about to begin, the Administrator tells Yumi to enjoy herself and make many wonderful memories they before waving goodbye to each other.

Clareth El Arcadena

* Base

**Clareth El Arcadena** was the crown prince of the Empire of Arcadena and the leader of the Knights of Redemption.

## Collection Profile

*Clareth El Arcadena is a Striker with high base stats who excels in battling multiple enemies at once.*

*He is a well-rounded individual, serving as both the Empire of Arcadena's crown prince who succeeded the Dragon Blood, and a member of the Knights of Redemption. Concerns about his arrogant personality turned out no need to be considered while he was handling government affairs on behalf of the ailing emperor. People were also convince that the empire would prosper more then ever before under his leadership.*

*Nevertheless, the Empire's history did not allow Clareth to usher in a period of peace.*

## Abilities

### Powers

* Dragon Blood: As part of the royal bloodline, Clareth possesses the power of Dragon Blood. Joo Shiyoon described him as more dangerous than either the Replacer King or Queen.

### Equipment

* **Dragonsword Largo:** Clareth's greatsword. It can absorb Dragon Blood, allowing Clareth to wield the power of the Blood without having his mind become corrupt. It is also implied to be sentient as Clareth describes it as a "being without Kleshas, suffering, or even a corruptible mind."

## Personality

The crown prince and de facto leader of Arcadena, Clareth is a very arrogant and snobbish person who claims to be the "sole and rightful ruler of all humankind." He looks down on lower-class people and outsiders and speaks harshly towards them. However, Clareth is not so foolish to dismiss someone simply because of their class or social status— among those he's recruited into the Knights of Redemption or made allies with include peasants, slaves and even traitors to the Empire. He is more insightful and sympathetic than he seems, as shown when he encouraged Carlota Martinez to go against her treacherous family's desire for absolution and instead work toward something she wanted for herself.

## Collection Profile

*Lee Yoonjung, the assistant to Dr Olivie Park, lives on caffeine to keep herself awake while helping her boss with her theses.*

*Her caffeine intake is dangerously high that it would have crippled most people. So far, she hasn't had any deliberating health problems, thanks to her genetics. But she can't hide the dark circles under her eyes or the gloomy, depressing aura around her.*

*It's hard to believe she used to be cheerful and popular back in her university days.*

## Personality

Yoonjung is a restless, miserable worker due to the abuse inflicted by Olivie Park. Because she is constantly overworked, she rarely sleeps and is always exhausted and gloomy. Despite this, she is fearful of her boss and can never build up the courage (or perhaps self-esteem) to stand up for herself.

Corruption rays

**Corruption rays** are a type of radiation emitted by all Corrupted Objects. The more powerful the C.O., the more powerful the corruption ray. The process of Corruption is described as entropic and irreversible, though rates of progression may vary from entity to entity.

## Effects

Corruption rays can determine the CSE level of an Corrupted area as well as the types of C.O.s that are present there. If strong enough, they can affect disrupt communication equipment, jam signals and prevent Dimensional ships from making jumps between the Normalside and Counterside.

### In humans

Corruption Syndrome is a disease caused by prolonged exposure to Corruption rays. Radiated humans will become increasingly sick and weak before inevitably mutating into a Corrupted Object. They may also experience other symptoms such as psychosis or slip into a coma as their condition worsens. Patients can be treated with purified Eternium liquid to slow tissue mutation and certain immunosuppressants to alleviate the pain caused by transformation, but otherwise Corruption Syndrome is incurable and has no known treatment methods. All Counters have some level of innate resistance to Corruption rays depending on their CRF output.

Elixir was made with curing the side effects of corruption ray in mind/not getting affected by them.

**Kang Minwoo** (강민우), known as **Matsuda Shuichi**(マツダ・シュウイチ) in the Japanese localization, is a member of The Militia. He used to be a police officer working in SWAT 4 as Kang Soyoung's superior before a failed hostage situation prompted him to resign and take matters into his own hands.

## Collection Profile

*Kang Minwoo is a Defender who decreases Counter damage on ally soldiers. He's also the leader of the Militia that hunts down Counter criminals. He became a criminal himself out of spite for society, in which Counters are given endless advantages.*

*He's notorious for his ruthlessness in eliminating his targets, but some civilian show unwavering faith in him, calling him their representative against Counter crimes. It's true that the Militia has never attacked unarmed civilians, but that doesn't change its radical nature of the dangerousness of its leader.*

## Equipment

* **SRM Arms Model 1216:** A semi-automatic shotgun that uses a revolver magazine.
* **IED:** A makeshift bomb that's as powerful as a military-grade explosive.

## Personality

Kang Minwoo is a vengeful man with a strong hatred for Counter criminals. While he was once a policeman with a sense of duty to uphold the law, he has since traded his justice for revenge and longer believes the law can protect the weak and innocent in a world full of super-powered Counters. He's noticeably gloomier and cynical than his colleagues within the Militia and doesn't enjoy socializing with people. Additionally, he's admitted that he is driven more by his own personal contempt for criminals rather than a desire to make the world a better place.

Of course, this does not mean Minwoo is uncaring or self-absorbed. He values his partners and community and is perceptive about how others feel as shown when he discerned that something was troubling Horizon despite her monotone appearance and insistence that she has absolutely no emotion endeavors. He is also logical and takes time to use deductive reasoning, like when he suggested alternate explanations for the deaths of Lee Yuri's parents after Yuri came to believe that she had killed them by mistake (thus stopping Yuri from committing suicide out of guilt).

## Collection Profile

*Gambler is a debilitating supporter who weakens her enemies with a chance to inflict greater weakening effects.*

*Gambler is infamous at the Underground Casino for doing whatever it takes to win a bet. Perhaps that is why many come to watch her play. People gather around curiously wanting to know how much she will bet or who she will eventually lose to.*

*Nobody knows who the Gambler is. Only rumors surround her because she appears to be wealthy and her presence at the casino occurred after the death of Alphatrix's President, with some even claiming she is a member of the Shin family who was pushed out during management disputes within Alphatrix.*

*According to reports, she recently obtained an alias, Cecilia Shin, and formed a paper company called Betatrix Company. What is not clear is her intentions with the company or who is funding her.*

*Nevertheless, there is no doubt that it is her opening move to win in her own gamble.*

## Abilities

### Powers

* **Enhanced physiology:** As with all Counters, the Gambler has enhanced physical strength and durability as well as some level of innate resistance to Corruption rays. She was durable enough to survive a powerful flame attack by Lee Jin.
* **Chess pieces:** The Gambler summons life-size chess pieces to attack.

### Equipment

* **Voice-altering necklace:** The Gambler wore a necklace that allowed to change her voice. She primarily used it to vocally impersonate the Alphatrix President so she could command Shin Jia and her many failed clones. It was destroyed by Lee Jin.

## Personality

The Gambler was a narcissistic sociopath. She never treated anyone, not even her own family members, with any respect and was more than willing to kill them to further her own plans. She was deeply jealous of Shin Jia in particular for being so uncannily talented and taking the Alphatrix President's attention away from her. In fact, after Jia defeated her in three consecutive chess games, the Gambler felt so devastated and wrathful that she gained her Counter Watch after the third game— had she not noticed the Watch, she would've murdered Jia on the spot. Yet, despite Jia's impressive abilities, the Gambler arrogantly saw her as subhuman and easily controllable because she knew about Jia's true origin and nature.

The Gambler was very cunning and manipulative. As the mastermind of the Alphatrix serial murders, she managed to avoid suspicion for the most part and frame others within Alphatrix Group for the crimes. However, her ego led her to make several crucial mistakes that could've been easily avoided had she not underestimated Jia's deduction skills.

* Base

* Base

**Lycoris** is a Secret Service agent working for Mark Finley and a member of the Flora Maid Service.

## Collection Profile

*Lycoris is a chef and sniper capable of attacking distant enemies with shock waves from her spear.*

*A new member of the Flora Maid Service, Lycoris is just like other girls her age except her predilection for spicy food and standoffishness to hide her true feelings.*

*Her unique culinary principles caused claims from several former employees, which in turn contributed to the Flora Maid Service's failure to win the Customer Satisfaction award of this year- but Lycoris refuses to acknowledge it.*

## Abilities

### Powers

* **Enhanced physiology:** As with all Counters, Lycoris has enhanced physical strength and durability.

### Equipment

* **Spicy Hell Spear:** *A weapon designed for melee combat and made of vibration-resistant alloy. Its superior strength and toughness are more than enough to dish out a spicy beating to the enemies. The ribbon on the spear is purely personal preference.*

## Personality

Of all the maids in the Flora Maid Service, Lycoris is the least approachable and enthusiastic member. In fact, she actually dislikes her role as a maid and even feels embarrassed over her maid outfit; she only became one so she could infiltrate the Mansion. While she isn't rebellious, she is not necessarily inclined to make her clients happy and is more concerned about getting the job done.

Despite her tomboyish and aloof nature, Lycoris can be a sociable person once she gets to know someone like when she tried to "interrogate" Mone after she and Lily abducted her.

## Collection Profile

	+ **Grappling anchors:** Dracasia's gauntlets include grappling anchors can hook onto surfaces and opponents.

## Personality

Dracasia is an haughty and impulsive fighter who loves to go on high-octane adventures. She never plans ahead and prefers to improvise no matter how dangerous or uncertain the situation is. Nothing can deter her from going out on her next journey as she believes in she has the expertise to dominate any obstacle in front of her. She's also very self-centered and constantly feels the need to take selfies or post on social media even at the most inappropriate times.

Yet, in spite of her ego, Dracasia is not entirely inconsiderate of others. While she may not always have their best interests at heart, Dracasia does care about her crew and tries to avoid putting them in pointlessly life-threatening situations. As the captain, she detests the idea of having to leave behind even one of her crew mates to die and is not afraid to risk her own life to save theirs. Still, this does not necessarily mean Dracasia will adjust reckless behavior to make sure everyone in her crew will be safe during an adventure; however, she will never outright endanger their lives for her own sake.

## Plot

Lee Sooyeon comes into the Administrator's office to remind him they have a regular safety training class with the Administration today and takes all the Coffin Company employees as well as the Machine G.A.P. with her. Soon after, a large package is delivered to Coffin Company, and inside are two young twin girls along with a flyer for Jehuty Biotech, a bioengineering and pharmaceutical company. The Administrator reads the flyer and learns that the girls, named Eins and Zwei, are clones created by Jehuty and were sent to the Coffin Company building to live there. The girls want to play with the him, so he assigns a few menial tasks, promising to grant their wish as a reward. First, he has them go on a treasure hunt for a gold Machine G.A.P trophy, and second, he teaches them how to cook. During this time, Eins and Zwei tell him about their time growing up in Jehuty Biotech's lab, revealing that they have other sisters as well.

For their last task, the girls are sent to Cafe Strega to buy some chocolate. Zwei notices an advertisement for the Cafe's attraction in their basement, so she and Eins go down while they wait for their food to be done. After making it through the whole attraction, they are awarded with free theme park passes. As the Eins and Zwei leave, Yuna Springfield notes that their mana is low, but Laura Beatrix tells her not to worry as she already knows someone who can help the twins.

While the girls are away, the Administrator discusses with Sooyeon about what's been going on in the building when he is interrupted by a call from a representative for Jehuty Biotech. The representative explains the one of their employees had sent the girls to him by mistake and plans to send someone over to take them back to the company. The Administrator refuses and even offers to take in all the other children Jehuty has with them. He additionally says he is aware Eins and Zwei are not actually clones themselves and that Eins is just sharing her power with her sisters through her Watch. The representative agrees to the Administrator's offer but gives him a veiled threat in return.

With all their tasks complete, Eins and Zwei return to Administrator and tells him their wishes: Eins wants the Administrator to stay as their brother, while Zwei wants to go to the theme park together using the free passes. The Administrator happily informs the two that their sisters are coming but curses under his breath towards Jehuty Biotech when they reveal they have eight sisters. He then contacts Sooyeon again and requests she has Olivie Park give them a medical checkup. He also suggests they investigate the current political situation in Gronia as he finds it suspicious that a poor country like it is able to produce advanced technologies such as human cloning.

* Base

## Collection Profile

*Choi Gangsan is a likeable guy with a burly physique resulting from his love for sports.*

*He is a defender who taunts enemies and protects allies. His shield created from his Watch, obviously influenced by his experience as a riot cop, looks like a ordinary shield.* *but it is actually stronger then any Eternium Alloy. He is a little bit too sensitive, tightening his guard even upon the minor events of daily life-a Chihuahua walking by or a fumigator truck passing- but he is a righteous man who never spares himself when saving lives.*
Academy Senior Student

The **Academy Senior Student** is an operator.

## Collection Profile

*The Operator Training Institute sends out its senior students with good grades to affiliated TASKFORCE companies as part of their field training.

Curian

## Gerard Curian

* Awakened

* Awakened

**Curian** is the commander of Nordnavik's Southern Border Guards. A survivor of the Day of Corruption in Nordnavik, he is actually **David Rashford**, the former adjutant to General Gerard Curian of the 1st Musketeer Division.

## Collection Profile

*Curian is an aggressive Sniper who deploys with his soldiers and leads allies with his command tactics.*

*The Musketeer Division is special organization formed by Nordnavik, consisting of powerful Counters. Each Counter leads its own separate unit under the Kingdom's orders. Gerard Curian was also a member of this force.*

*He was reported MIA following the Day of Corruption, but he recently returned to the Royal Army, actively serving his country on the frontline.*

## Abilities

### Powers

* **Key to Avalon's Gate:** Curian's heart is embedded with an artifact known as the Key, also called the Holy Relic, which gives him immense power equivalent to that of a Counter's. The Key even resurrected him back to life upon being charged with electricity and literal willpower. Presumably, it was also what allowed him to survive in the Corrupted Area of Deer Root and maintain his physical age for twenty years.

### Equipment

* **Musketeer Rifle:** Curian still uses a rifle that was issued to the Musketeer Division twenty years ago.
* **Hermit:** An armored, mechanical horse that Curian rides into battle with.

### Weaknesses
