Quantum Corporation

## Background

Quantum Corporation - A multi-divisional technology firm based in Liberty Port, but has a prominent office building in Neon District as well. Quantum is a very powerful company, supplying Zonos, Inc’s “Psi-Corp” division with hi-tech weaponry and supplemental devices such as the Reverse Gravity grenade, and they were the first official company to produce the “QD Device” military grade prototype. It still is not being used system wide just yet. Amiko Fayte was actually the first person ever to create a teleportation device of her own. Quantum corp did so shortly after due to their innovative approach. The timing of these events are purely coincidental.

Quantum also invented the Electro Kinetic Shield System a/k/a EKSS. The prototype device is approximately the size of walkie talkie. Upon activation, a powerful translucent energy forms around the user in a geodesic shape. It is extremely effective against projectiles, lasers, and  explosive/concussive weapons of any kind. It does not completely block impact, but it nullifies most of the power from said blast. It also has its limits in term of how much cumulative damage it can take before the energy sheild needs to return to the device for recharge and reuse. Depending on how much damage the shield incurred, will determine how much time it will need to recharge and re-strengthen.

The company's focus on inventive genius and sharp business savvy have made them a major player geopolitically as well. In addition to their documented successes, it is also heavily rumored that they invest in shadier business dealings and projects with even shadier entities. Many of these rumors remain to be seen.

Despite the partnership with Zonos, they, like C.E.L.L. are on watch by Zonos due to their homebase being in the rival city of Neon District and considerable military might via an undisclosed PMC.
The GunBlade

As it’s name states, it can either be a gun or blade when it transforms. Caiden developed a weapon he needed to be useful in a number of different situations given the unpredictability of combat. The gunblade would fulfill the criteria. As a Gun, the nano arm has a few modes between regular ammo based semi-automatic pistol with a capacity of 25 hollow tip bullets per magazine clip, A stun mode than can hold 15 High voltage non-lethal bullets, and Buster mode, The most powerful of the three that gathers energy to a single point in front of the barrel to let off a massive concussive force of energy. The buster mode shot is capable of taking out a military grade hover tank ( which are notoriously difficult to take down even with adequate firepower)

As a blade, it is powerful enough to slice through nearly anything given the energy layer laced on the tip and the front end of the blade.
Mania

Mania is Neon District’s most popular drug of choice. It induces neurological and psychological euphoria. The drug is taken through a needle hooked up to a VR machine interface to enhance their Virtual Reality experience to inhuman heights. Some have even claimed a temporary merging with the AI of a given system. To the naked eye, this drug appears as a fluorescent blue liquid. What the substance actually is, are billions of dissolvable  synthetic cells that travel directly to the cerebral cortex and over stimulate its activity. Taking this when not on a VR Network machine is extremely dangerous as the mind would be left to its own overstimulated senses. Taking the drug this way, causes a person to reach psychosis and exhibit sporadic hypersexual and violent behavior
Kolyat

Kolyat is one of the eight divinities of Ximizhlum. He is the younger brother of the God Danebran.

He is the Patron of the Seas, Father of Ximizhle, and Grandfather of all Mankind.

In Mimimum, the moon which He hollowed out, Kolyat traveled across the stars with His older brother, Danebran, until They arrived at Ximizhlum, where a fierce battle between the Men and Women of the Pantheon ensued.

With His blade, the God took His own life.

Danebran, enraged at His beloved brother's death, blamed Matane, one of the Goddesses, for seducing Kolyat.

Grabbing the neck of the girl, who had just been weakened by childbirth and the death of Her lover, Danebran mustered all his strength and threw Her from the surface of Mimimum down onto Ximizhlum, sealing Her fate.

The tragedy of losing two Divinities in one day lead the pantheon to a ceasefire.

Kolyat was entombed in a mountain on Mimimum, directly facing towards the one on Ximizhlum that was Matane's grave.

Their lovechild, Ximizhle, was exiled from the skies onto Ximizhlum, and from Her all of humanity would spring.

It is said that the salt water of Ximizhlum is the blood Kolyat spilled on that fateful day and that the fresh water are His tears.

The gemstone associated with Kolyat is the orange opal.
Psi-Corp Standard Pulse Rife

The Psi-Corp BL-48 Standard issue Pulse Rifle is the military police's go to assault weapon of choice in the midst of an intense exchange between them and targets with extremely capable fire power. Able to shoot hundreds of rounds of pulse lasers a second, this automatic weapon works best cutting down targets quickly, albeit in a gory fashion. These rifles were designed by none other than Quantum Corp and are far superior to other assault weapons that most criminals are able to get their hands on.

The Pulse rifle is rather versatile able to switch from Pulse laser rounds to standard hardcase shell rounds. For the pulse lasers, the rifle uses energy cartridges. The hardcase rounds are stored in specialized clips on the butt end of the rifle. These are normally brought out for crown control, enemy suppression, and escalated matters where a serious firefight is happening.
Peter, Paul and Mary

**Peter, Paul and Mary** was an American folk group formed in New York City in 1961 during the American folk music revival phenomenon. The trio consisted of tenor Peter Yarrow, baritone Paul Stookey, and contralto Mary Travers. The group's repertoire included songs written by Yarrow and Stookey, early songs by Bob Dylan, and covers of other folk musicians. They were enormously successful in the early- and mid-1960s, with their debut album topping the charts for weeks, and helped popularize the folk music revival. After the death of Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names.

Raffi mentioned the group in a 2020 interview.

Amiko Fayte

Amiko Fayte ( who later became known as Dana Nyx) was a budding scientific/technological researcher specializing in nano-technology, biology, physics and chemistry. She graduated with the highest honors at ACTS(Advanced  College of Technological Studies) becoming the only student in ACTS history to receive 4 diplomas for 4 different majors and two master's degrees and maintained a perfect 4.0 throughout her term there. She also graduated 2 years earlier despite the massive workload. This is a true testament to her innate genius and incredible drive and work ethic.

This eventually attracted the likes of the ever powerful Zonos, Inc. And at the ripe age of 19 Amiko became the youngest Lead technological/nano/ researcher for the entire organization. This granted her vast access to the company's database and networks and also gave her unlimited access to research tools and more importantly research funds. What we find out later on in the story is that, her actions in the past are the direct reasons for the happenings at the present storyline. With Amiko being the top researcher for the company even more regarded than Dr. Stein Volda himself, she was also sworn to secrecy. On top of that, the corrupt ambitions and actions of the company coerced their own employees to be subjects for their own research on the quest to “Elevation” ( a process in which a human  becomes an N-Hybrid).

At the time, the company was close to achieving this goal. By using Amiko as their main test subject, they decided to inject her womb with a groundbreaking custom made nano-formula that she pioneered and developed with the hopes of her unborn child becoming the very first N-Hybrid, much to her chagrin. Shortly after his birth and a thorough evaluation, they found a never before seen DNA code that confirmed that in fact, this child had the physical components and genetic makeup necessary to become the very 1st N-hybrid.

Amiko, knowing that her son would be a test subject his entire life, coupled with her powerful maternal instincts, defected from the company and escaped with her son. As a result of her successful escape, she virtually went off the grid altogether. She changed her name, replaced her corneas to avoid optical scans, re-arranged her fingerprints using prototype technology she developed, performed a blood type change from O to AB, had automated surgery to change slight features about her appearance, and started a new life near the outskirts of the massive city. As a result of this bold and daring change, Rez was able to grow up with a relatively normal childhood. It wasn’t until he turned 15 when his world was turned upside down.\*\*
A.C.T.S. University

The esteemed university that specializes in higher education programs surrounding advanced scientific studies. It is one of the most prominent universities in the world being home to some of the most brilliant minds to have ever made an impact in the scientific community.

Their main campus is in Blue Emerald, but there are smaller satellite campuses spread throughout the city-state. It is also renowned for its affordability and its accessibility, putting the money where its mouth is and providing students of all types, innovative ways for them to engage in their education. The amount of successful PhD programs is unmatched as well as the graduate to job transition ratio. Both Caiden and Vantz were/are enrolled students in the university.
Hover Camera Drone

The go to camera for most news stations in Neon District. The Hover Camera Drone is extremely reliable, durable, maneuverable, and intuitive for news outlets to cover live feeds for news coverage. Equipped with powerful cameras and wireless data transmission technology, there is no better camera that serves the purpose this one does.
Nami Haneda

Age - 17

Nami, like her sister is no stranger to personal tragedy, loss, and traumatic life changing events. To combat the numbness and darkness in her heart, she shields her heavy emotional scars under the guise of an extraordinarily bubbly, and sweet personality. Like her sister, she is quite brilliant, and uses her intelligence to survive her hardships. Her juvenile zeal, has somehow remained intact despite her hard knock story.

## Eye of Rune

   Both Nami and her sister possess a strange precognitive-type ability called "The Eye of Rune". An ability, usually brought on by extreme stress, allows the user to see fabrics of potential futures some 20-30 seconds prior to those outcomes happening. Those different threads of potential futures mainly involve them and their immediate situation in some closely or loosely related way.

The Eye of Rune ability is an ability highly sought after by the Council of Elders. Many believe the ability to be nothing more than legend. Nami and her sister however, are living proof that this capability is very much real and developing.
VseR

Pronounded (View-zer) and also (yooser); either one is acceptable

The avatar of Caiden's beloved online personality on CyberWave Republic. VseR is highly revered and admired by the people on the dark network holding a great influence boasting millions of loyal followers. It is through VseR, where Caiden uses his voice to cite his disgust for the de facto governing body and their practices. It is also through VseR, where he has amassed a great deal of coin for his impeccable freelance hacking.
Fayte

Fayte,

Rez's purest version of himself. The astral version of Rez that exists in Rez's inner astral plane. According to Fayte, he is nothing more than the manifestation of Rez's deepest, most perfect iteration of his subconsciousness given form. He claims to have been with Rez his entire life and is actually privy to more memories of Rez's life than Rez can actually remember. In spite of some of the mystery surrounding Fayte, he is in fact, Rez. He is also the de facto guardian of Rez's psyche and Inner Astral Plane, which is a vast multi-colored expanse where the laws of physics, space, and time do not apply.

Fayte has seemingly vast amounts of untold knowledge. He also appears to be the source of intimidation that Rez draws from when he gets serious. Fayte is incredibly kind, and realistic about any and everything regarding Rez. Not to mention that Fayte also shares Rez's dark sense of humor which leads to many exchanges when the two are together in the astral.

Fayte also has naturally developed a deep bond with Xandra, whom has also taken form in the inner astral and the two work together seamlessly. Fayte is the source of Rez's true potential, and the more that Rez draws from that potential, the deeper their fusion becomes.
Mana

Mana is a strange glowing, white liquid that is extremely versatile. Cultivated the right way, mana can be infused with clothing, weapons, technology, food, and a vast array other everyday items. Manipulating mana is particularly difficult to do, as it requires a specialist to properly manipulate the substance. Most of the specialists came from the mana rich region of Oasis, located in the middle of the Sun Desert. On the market, mana is extremely expensive due to its highly capable and versatile applications. Infusing manna into fabric would make it stronger and less likely to be damaged. Infusing it into body armor would reinforce said armor.

Applying it to any form of combustion fuel-based vehicles would make the vehicle more energy efficient. It was once said that mana had strange mystical qualities, but due to the difficulties of processing and cultivating it, there had not been enough studies conducted to confirm it.

Knight-1

The mysterious User who's only known associate is the equally mystifying Jana Cero. Like Jana, Knight-1'

## Personal

### Eye Color

Unknown

s semi-discrete exploits have generated interest from CWR users to the authorities alike, albeit, apprehension of Knight-1 has remained largely unsuccessful. Outside of a few odd rumors, not much else is known about this figure;
Reverse Shockwave Grenade

These powerful weapons are usually found in spherical or cylindrical form. The Reverse shockwave operates very much like it's namesake. Using the gravitational pull of it's immediate surroundings, it absorbs the gravitational energy into itself, acting as the epicenter. Once the require amount of energy is gathered it is then released as quickly as possible creating a powerful field of concussive energy. Most targets within it's blast radius, usually 50 meters for standard powered Rev Shock Grenades, are pulled into the epicenter, and violently blasted away resulting in gruesome injuries or even death.
Enzen Banking

Enzen Banking is notorious for it's shady dealings with prominent underworld figures and corrupt government ranking officials. But due to the nature of their business, this financial institution just never seems to get put out of business. Enzen Banking has somehow found a way to be able to escape reporting its true earnings at the end of every tax season. It also regularly manages to avoid auditing, dodge bankruptcy, and keep money in the pockets of their powerful CEO's. Many speculate Enzen Banking is the unofficial financial arm of the Zonos controlled government. There would be few who disagree.

Because of its affiliations and financial ties to very powerful entities in Neon District, it is safe to assume that Enzen Banking is worth trillions of creds.
Firmamental Break

The Firmamental Break was a cataclysmic event lasting for three years at the turn of the 14th century.

While its cause is not fully known, its effects were amazing.

It completely destroyed several cities, caused the deaths of millions, broke and fixed the weather including adding new weather patterns, and tore the unified humanity apart, turning them into several smaller nations.

It also resulted in the apotheosis of Emperor Romulus as Ragahnsiir.
Viverna

The Viverna, also written as Vivrna, is a draconid which stands out among its fellow dragons for being mostly furry instead of scaly and for not hibernating during winter.

   While vivernas have scales, they are predominantly covered in fur which changes thickness according to the current season. Viverni are long and slender, reaching around ten to twenty meters, with no legs and two to four wings. Their tails end with a stinger capable of penetrating thick armour and injecting paralyzing poison, after which the beast will use its jaws to deliver the finishing blow. A few types might even breathe lightning.

Vivernas can be found in areas with lots of open spaces, such as plains or tundras.

Though they show signs of sophisticated thought, they are incapable of speech.

   Alongside their less aggressive temper, viverni are the only group of dragons not to hibernate during winter, making them far better suited for taming than their peers. Domesticated vivernas are used for combat, as mounts, or as pets as is the case with the pygmy viverna.
Neuravisor

The Neuravisor is the quintessential piece of equipment that allows avid users of CWR to dive deep in the digital city. This visor comes with an assortment of adhesive patches and finger clamps to assist in the full sensory dive that many users experience when going to CyberWave republic. Much like the developers of CWR, the developers of the Neuravisor are under constant scrutiny by Zonos, Inc. Nevertheless, the demand for the visors remains at an all time high.
Ontra

*“It is why our people grow older slower. It is why our bodies are more limber, stronger, and quicker to heal than the average dweller of any one of the great cities of this planet. Anyone privileged to walk and live on these lands for an extended period of time essentially become one of us with strengthened vitality. Those crystals; an integral part of our way of life, are strongly believed to be the reason why select generations of our nation’s populace have given birth to Ontra users like our dear friends here”*

-Mariss, Rune Village Resident, and close friend of Calina

Ontra, the strange mystical energy the flows throughout the lands of Rune Village, giving life to a lifeless terrain. It is believed that the power emanating from the Rune Crystal laden soil of the Rune Village region. Furthermore, it is widely believed that every single person on the planet has minimal amounts of Ontra energy in their system, but what separates others from Rune Villagers is merely the length of exposure they have had to the unique environment and energy radiating from the land of Rune Village itself.

Every few generations or so, a person is born into the Rune Village population with the ability to take that powerful energy and manipulate it, using their bodies as the vessel to release incredible superhuman feats. Many of these feats usually fall into one of two categories : Telepathy, or Telekinesis. As of the last few generations, no family bloodline has shown a propensity for Ontra Manipulation more so than the Amare Clan. It was the more frequent emergence of Amare clan Ontra users that unfortunately started the ethnic cleansing clan erasure genocide by the treacherous Council of Elders.
Redjej Olii

The current Prime Minister of Oasis. Rejedj is a man of sharp intellect and dangerous ambition. For many years Rejedj has held something of a grudge against Zonos for their unlawful attempts at sanctioning Oasis and attempting to make it a territory of Neon District using less than favorable methods. It was close to happening until The Oasis expeditionary & energy council discovered that Oasis was rich in Mana energy. Rejedj, at the time was a vice PM, made an important political decision to implement the use of Mana energy for Oasis’ economy, which would allow the city to completely separate itself from the need to rely on Neon District for anything.

As a result, Redjej rose to power quickly thereafter. But as with all things power, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Redjej , seeing the precarious position his nation was in, began to engage in darker operations to both remain in power and keep Oasis in power on the international stage. His ambition to do so worked. For it, he is revered by many of the Oasian denizens. However, he is also feared by those who see through the benevolent veil.
The LoveMaars

The LoveMaars Hotel

The most well known brothel in the entire nation of Neon District. Known to have the most beautiful women for the largest high profile clientele base. The brothel is 20 stories tall  and slightly isolated from the other buildings near the back end of an important main street that is in an ideal central location to get to from any of the boroughs. Despite its slight isolation from the other towering buildings in its vicinity, there is still an amazing skyline view of the city that can be thoroughly appreciated. The top floor is actually an entire suite solely dedicated to the most expensive, beautiful looking girls the brothel has to offer. The two girls are reported to be foreign twins from a region far outside of Neon District City-state. Geographically, The LoveMaars is at the westernmost side of the Blacklight District bordering the Nova, Blue Emerald, and Cosmica districts as well. This makes it an ideal location with bountiful traffic for high paying customers...
Merchant's Rowe

Sometimes known as “Murderer’s Rowe”. It is yet, another pocket found within the massive city where

illegal activity was unusually high and under policed. It is home to a large amount of black market activities including: genetic altering clinics, Female and male sexual augmentation, illegal cybernetic replacements and enhancements, gambling spots, illegal Psych Booths and many other things one could put to the imagination. One could essentially enter a human, and leave an unknown. That’s the type of

place Merchant’s Rowe is; the area that sells dreams for cheap at the cost of one’s dignity, humanity, or both.

In addition to the plethora of genetic and physical alteration clinics, Merchant's Rowe has it's bountiful share of bars, food shops, weapons dealers, and last but not least, it is the undisputed capital for underground brothels and sex shops in the entire city. Because of it's many obvious attractions, Merchant's Rowe is a constant

draw, bringing in thousands a night. The streets are always notoriously crowded, making it a pick-pocket's dream turf.
Midnight Arcade

The Midnight Arcade is a lounge located in the Andromeda District. It is one of the most talked about places

for entertainment due to the ingenuity of it's interior design and

quaint, intimate atmosphere. The interior is inspired by rainforests. Walkways are carved out of stone, dirt and carefully carved wood.

There are trees and plenty of plush greenery strategically placed all throughout the complex. The lighting and mana laced decoration make Midnight Arcade one of the most mystical night life experiences around. Yvora Blue frequents this establishment quite a bit as well.
R.Dash

Age - Unknown

R.Dash is the current leader of The Sentience. She is a fierce follower and believer in her predecessor Wizard, even after Wizard's defection from the group. R.Dash is knowledgeable, honorable, and reliable, always showing genuine concern for her group. Integrate into human society? Or Isolate? The questions consistently plague her. This has led her down an unfamiliar path Through this uncertainty she seeks answers from alternative sources...
The Sentience

A rogue group of AI androids that act of their own free will within Neon District. They too, also have bad blood with ZOBE and a shaky alliance at best with even some of their most reliable allies. It is a testament to their increasing skepticism for integration into society. Their base is located in a series of complex underground bunkers beneath an abandoned office complex in Andromeda District. But they have safehouses and secret locations to congregate everywhere throughout the entire city-state.

Being Androids who have powerful ICMs of their own, this group in particular is very well connected to many facets of society both legal and black market. Because they have a bevy of information and intel on the underworld happenings; combined with impressive physical capabilities, make this group a particular group of interest for the authorities.

Please read up on the Androids entry for more information on this particular sentient race.
Corporations

In this enthralling world, the dark machinations of political power start and end with the financial muscle of big corporations. Evidenced by the largest and most powerful of them all, Zonos, Inc has shown other companies just how powerful one corporation can become if they play their cards, and their unknowing subjects right. There are a number of other large players in this universe that vie for power and forever adhere to the demand of the bottom line.
EMP Charge

The electromagnetic pulse charge is a small handheld device; roughly the size of a cell phone. It emits a blast of electromagnetic energy disabling or completely burning out any electric powered device instantly. The EMP charges are also used against humans who are targeted as it is able to disrupt the bioelectrcity in a person for a short period of time. Hybrids and androids are particularly susceptible to this due to their reliance, or entire existence being physically linked to their cybernetic/robotic hardware.

The EMP charge has a 20 foot blast radius, making this a weapon primarily for targeting individuals. The EMP charges can be thrown at an energy or affixed to one to get the job done. They are activated by pressing the glowing light panel. There are three modes for detonation:

1) Hold and let go as one throws, the EMP charge will then activate upon contact of a supposed target

2)Delayed blast - a timer indicates when the charge will detonate.

3)Remote - operating in a similar manner to proximity mines meshed with the concept of a smart bomb. The user can perform a command to detonate only on their command unless needed otherwise.

EMPs are incredibly useful and reliable in combat.
Isitik

The isitik is a four meter tall and six meter long beast living in regions of the mainland of Ximizhlum with lots of water, namely the Glowing Coast, Tankshita, and Oknamizemoor.

Most of its time is spent walking through water, searching for fish and crustaceans to eat. It is capable of breathing both above and below water, but it is unable to swim, instead preferring to walk across the ground.

The way the isitik hunts is by using its long tendrils which protrude out of the mouth. With their slender and flexible movements, the beast is capable of catching prey that attempts to hide in tight holes.

Once caught, the tendril returns to the mouth, where the food gets liquified by acid. The skeleton remains intact and is spit out. If the animal is shelled, the isitik will bash the creature against a rock until a hole is made, then the usual process continues.

Isitik's senses are lacking, it has no sense of smell or sight, and relies largely on its tendrils for guidance.

For predators, the isitik is not worth the trouble. Its skin is very hard and it has very little meat to offer. As such, it's mostly ignored by everything.

Some examples of the beast has glowing lights growing from its body. Those are actually a parasitic plant.
Hitomi Haneda

Age-17

Hitomi Haneda, the eldest twin by 4 minutes, is from the mystical Rune Village. Her and her sister faced immeasurable odds both at home and in Neon District. A series of tragic events led to their capture to become sex slaves at a popular brothel in the city. The traumatic events caused Hitomi to become stoic and emotionally hardened, much more than her twin sister. She, like her sister, is brilliant with computer systems, both of them earning scholarships to ACTS University...

## Eye of Rune

   Both Hitomi and her sister possess a strange precognitive-type ability called "The Eye of Rune". An ability, usually brought on by extreme stress, allows the user to see fabrics of potential futures some 20-30 seconds prior to those outcomes happening. Those different threads of potential futures mainly involve them and their immediate situation in some closely or loosely related way.

The Eye of Rune ability is an ability highly sought after by the Council of Elders. Many believe the ability to be nothing more than legend. Hitomi and her sister however, are living proof that this capability is very much real and developing.
Yuntsepo Daigunate

The Yuntsepo Daigunate was a small nation of Kumiho on Helvetya.

At some point, their Daigun, Yuntsepo Pomuvirda, attacked an Ershelkuskelets nation, the Shyolkashkaazori. Their leader, Sentse Te Etsegos Inas Shyolkash, rallied his men, beat back the invaders, killed the daigun, and completely dismantled her daigunate.

Many of the Megitsune and Lukhzenchin slaves joined Shyolkash' people.

Slavo

The tall, lanky, fashionably eccentric member of the powerful Chimera Crime Syndicate. Slavo is as sleazy and money hungry as they come. His unsavory disposition is conflated by his overwhelming arrogance and barbarous rhetoric. He has risen the ranks to become the head of the lucrative sex slave trade and human trafficking operation of the syndicate. His money generating methods have earned him newfound control of the popular “Gentlemen’s VIP Hotel/Club” The LoveMaars located on the west side of Blacklight. Due to a near death accident, Slavo had his eyes illegally replaced with a highly advanced visor that affords him numerous modes of vision and access to the syndicate’s network, effectively making him a hybrid.
Minot

The Minot is a bipedal beast existing in many biomes of Ximizhlum. Do not be fooled by its humanoid form, the minot is incapable of any sophisticated thought. It is about as intelligent as a boar.

Minots are a nuisance, often attacking travelers who venture too far off the road. They rape and kill the unfortunate person and then take their treasures to their camps, where they are used as decoration or fuel for fire.

These disgusting reeking beasts provide little merit to the Ximi people, besides entertainment in arenas and the occasional use for battle. It is a universally accepted fact that the world would be better off without them.

What little culture the minoti have is centered around painting their bodies with dyes and dancing around camp fires. No one really knows what their markings signify.

Minots live in small groups of one male, his harem, and his male slaves.

   The males fight for dominance over the female and the winning minot proceeds to rape the loser to degrade him. The loser then has a choice to either stay in the winner's harem as his slave or leave to try find a mate elsewhere. If he chooses to stay, he will be fed and have a place to stay, but will be a punching bag for the rest of the pack, including the female he was fighting for. In the almost unheard of event of the slave choosing to rebel, he will either be killed by the rest or chased out.
The White Knight

The fruit of the 3 titan companies (Zonos Inc, Quantum Corp, C.E.L.L.)' labor, despite icy business relations; resulted in a highly classified top secret project known as "The Adriel Project". Many attempts from those remotely in the know have attempted to get their hands on the files of this mysterious collaboration project that was put on ice 10 years prior to the main story line timeline.

Of the thousands of documents, the only two things that were not digitally redacted throughout were the names of the companies involved, and the name of the person behind the mask, Michael Adriel. There are no clues as to whom this "Michael" could be. An endless swarm of rumors are circulating on CWR, but none have an inkling of anything holding any real weight to the mysterious truth.

Despite the mysteries, The White Knight was designed to be the harbinger of death in battle, equipped with an energy sword that can cut through virtually everything, and a powerful body to perform the logic defying physical feats humans, even ScioN serum enhanced humans and Hybrids alike; could only dream of.

Enhanced agility, speed, strength, processing functions, state of the art software and hardware, weapons, equipment, and an uncanny battle sense along with unprecedented durability are the very things this being embodies, and truly the terror of whomever is its target.

In addition to it's high powered offensive and defensive capabilities, The White knight is also an excellent tracker, equipped with technology that help it remain undetectable to nearly every type of radar scan and system...

* cutting edge tracking systems
* Combat assist interface

Holo-watch

Caiden's trusty holo-watch is one of his main tools he uses throughout his exploits. Directly connected to his custom made interface out of Home Base, his Holo-watch is essentially his supercomputer proxy on his wrist. He has performed many jobs using only his watch and his ingenuity. He is just as effectively able to hack into security systems, slave vulnerable programs, hack into data terminals of all sorts; to taking video and phone calls ( which projects either a hologram of a video feed , or an audio icon, depending on the type of call). To date it is still one of his most important tools he uses.
Enhanced Human

Enhanced Humans are those who have taken non cybernetic formulas/drugs to achieve advanced physiological attributes such as enhanced:

* durability
* strength
* speed
* healing
* agility
* reaction time

The methods and formulas used in order to achieve "enhanced"status vary greatly, fielding a wide array of different results. Some of the most common seen are from methods such as the ScioN Serum, as used by the Psi-Corp Military Police force.
Zhiziyumyus

The zhiziyumyus, also known as an ironshooter or ironbow, is a ranged weapon on Ximizhlum. It fires bolts like a crossbow.

To fire it, one has to open the latch near the muzzle and insert a bolt onto the mechanism, then close it. The next step is to crank it until a clicking noise is heard, signaling that the mechanism is in place. The next step is, quite obviously, to aim and pull the trigger, which releases the mechanism, firing the bolt.

As is custom with Ximi weaponry, the zhiziyumyus is ornamental and personalized with things like blessed charms, trophies, carvings, and more.
Hover Surveillance Drone (HSD)

Standard Hover Surveillance Drone

The standard HSD is one of the most common surveillance drones used by officials within Zonos and Psi-Corp. Equal in size to a standard basketball, it is equipped with powerful cameras and sensors in a sleek chrome sphere design. It also comes stock with chamleoware capabilities and sophisticated software built for easy interface with most security systems and software.

It has very good maneuverability and is able to fly at speeds of 60 Mph. It has a multitude of different viewing modes and zoom in options to provide an incredibly versatile surveillance offering.

These drones also double as signal amplifiers for CSSA specialists conducting reconnaissance for monitoring purposes.
Plush Grove

The most prominent, unique upscale neighborhood of the  Cosmica District, and perhaps, the entire city-state, where all of the houses are enveloped, built around, and supplanted by man made trees. Essentially it is a green/clean energy centric neighborhood with some of the most technologically advanced homes around. Some of the city’s most important figures live there. It is also a gated community with government sanctioned security

detail and systems. It is rumored that there is not

one house in this community that is listed for anything under 2 million creds. A true testament to affluence of this exclusive and private neighborhood.
Shock Baton

The shock baton is a commonly carried weapon by Psi-Corp to security guards, to regular citizens. Highly useful and convenient to carry, one can never be too safe. The shock baton is a solid deterrent from would be muggers, or an assailant in close quarters combat. It is 24 inches of retractable cylindrical new titanium equipped with a good amount of voltage than can easily knock a large animal unconscious when the level is turned to the highest degree. The shock baton is also fingerprint sensitive, sensing which end the user is carrying it and automatically deactivating that end if the user is wielding it in such a manner.
Z.O.B.E.

Z.O.B.E. a/k/a the The Zealots Of Blue Earth are a cult comprised of conspiracy theorists, militant extremists, and political figures whose views on social order, society and way of life are based upon the preservation of the natural order of the planet. Henceforth, they believe that all things related to cybernetic human integration are deemed immoral, corrupt, and wicked. As one can imagine, the entire group is composed of “pure” humans. It is even rumored that some of these humans have concocted a more powerful and frightening variation of the “ScioN” serum. This of course is not “regulated” by the government and there have been many reports that their version of the serum has produced some fearsome side effects…”

ZOBE has somehow been able to gain an active role in the political process of the mega city. While their political power isn’t significant at the moment, the mere fact that they are there is a testament to their influence from a  grassroots perspective. They have garnered a huge amount of support at ground level. Couple this with their extremist views and they make for formidable adversaries to both the population and Zonos, Inc.
Viana

Glacier blue eyes with an equally cool demeanor to match, Viana is nothing short of irresistible, especially for Vantz Marling, her current love interest. Viana has a keen sense for people and an infectious lust for fun and relaxation. She is a fairly prominent socialite and online influencer, providing her with a life filled with entertainment and wonder that only a city-state like Neon District could provide.

Her online endeavors are sometimes assisted by her best friend Penny. In fact, her and Penny share many an adventure together. One rarely ever sees one without the other.
Tisken

The tisken is a fruit native to Ximizhlum. Its name means "hedgehog" in Ximi. Tisken specifically refers to the fruit itself, whereas the tree is called Xaltiski.

As its name implies, tisken is a spherical fruit with spikes protruding out of each side. If dropped from a sufficient height, they are hard enough to pierce a human's skull and kill them.

To eat a tisken, one must chop off the protrusions. Then, peel off the outer layer, for it is toxic to humans if consumed. The seeds are small and benign. The inside has the same texture as apples and can be eaten raw or in conjuncture with other ingredients. It tastes somewhat like litchi.

In some areas of Ximizhlum, it replaces more traditional foods such as rice or lentil mash.

The Xaltiski tree grows to the size of a large oak. The top of it is one giant unified leaf, looking like a lily pad. Despite the top being heavy and the trunk being relatively thin, xaltiski can withstand even strong winds. Tisken grow on the ceiling of the leaf. The tree bears fruit once every two years.

Both the tree and the fruit share the same colour and it is quite vibrant. Depending on their breed, they can be green, yellow, red, orange, purple, blue, white, or even combinations of those.
Franki Butcher

One of the most feared hitmen in the Chimera Crime Syndicate, Franki Butcher is renowned for his brutality, and his efficiency. Standing at a towering 7ft tall and clocking in at nearly 400 lbs of enhanced muscle, this beast of a man is a certified menace. He trained vigorously in the art of Vale Tudo, fitting for his size and combat demeanor. Despite being so large he is frighteningly quick and has incredibly keen combat senses. He is also a hybrid, wearing cybernetic visor for his eyes. The reasons for this are unknown. His muscle enhancements are a combination of black market ScioN serum and an unknown formula. It adjusted to his body rather well, reinforcing his bones, muscle tissue, and fibers. A trusted member of the crime syndicate, he has even gained the utmost respect from the leader of the crime family, Dragon himself.

Despite his intimidating appearance, Franki is unusually calm and level-headed. It's only when he is in the midst of combat does he become something more.

He has a close friendship with his other hitman partner-in-crime Neo Masamune.
Neo Masamune

Neo Masamune is one of the most feared hitmen in all of Neon District; and one of the most revered members of Chimera. The Psi-Corp police issue a "flee-on-sight" order if he shows up to the scene, which lends credence to just how skillful a killer Neo is. Despite his fearsome reputation, his diminutive stature at first glance would initially deem otherwise. Especially in comparison to his mountain of a partner Franki Butcher , who stands at a towering 7 feet, Neo stands at a mere 5'9". Despite this, Franki respects him greatly and they are actually very close friends, kindred spirits in a damned profession.

Neo is foul-mouthed, impatient, self-centered, and rather perverse. In spite of these vices he can be sharp when he isn't trapped in his hedonistic ways. This is especially true with his insane combat ability and animal-like instincts. Able to smell out trouble by a mere change in the air makes him an especially dangerous combatant. He is a master with his extra large katana, easily able to wield it as if it were an extension of his own body. He is so skilled with it, he is even able to deflect bullets and other forms of firearms.

Neo is a hybrid, with both arms fully cybernetic. His eyes are also Cybernetic, affording different forms of visual prowess and adding to his already incredible ability.
Krikeyami

The krikeyami, meaning “Mountain Krike” in Ximi, is a wingless bird native to Ximizhlum’s mountains, with the highest population being in the Heartlands region.

It’s about 140 centimeters tall and its body is covered in brown feathers. It has distinct “wings” on its

head, coloured yellow. Its eye region is blue.

The most important part of its body, however, are the tail wings. These are coloured light green with red “eyes” at the tip. These are the very same feathers that were used in the making of Ximizhle’s crown.

According to legends, one day, Ximizhle was traveling the countryside, when she spotted these birds on a mountain. Enamored by its feathers, Ximizhle approached the bird. Noticing the birds’ penchant for singing, she suggested a trade; each of the krikeyami would give her one of its tail feathers and, in return, Ximizhle would give them the power to control the echos and sounds they produce.

While the birds were confused and cautious, one decided to accept the lady’s gift. Ximizhle plucked one its feathers and cast a spell on the beast.

The bird opened its mouth and sang, its voice traveling great distance across the mountain. It was amazed!

The other krikeyami soon joined in and soon enough Ximizhle had plenty of feathers for her crown.

Since that day, the krikeyami are believed to be the source of echoes and voices coming from mountains.

Due to their relation to Ximizhle, krikeyami are generally a protected species and not hunted. That doesn’t stop poachers from killing them and selling the hunt on the black market, where their meat is believed to help heal throat and lung problems.
E.D.D.I.

Electro Dynamic Drive Initiative, or "Eddi" for short is currently the youngest member of the present iteration of The Sentience. He achieved consciousness 5 years ago and has been steadily navigating his way in the perilous world of Neon District. Let not the age fool you however. because of his android origins, he is far more mature than his years would dictate.

Contrarily, he will surprise many, especially humans with just how empathetic and humane he truly is. This quality of his is a standout even among the most reasonable androids of his kinsmen. Even to humans, he sometimes may even appear more human than those whom he was born to emulate.

Empathy, humanity, and naivete aside, Eddi is rather knowledgeable of the City-state's underworld activities and has an uncanny beat on the social trends concerning his people. He cares deeply for his comrades, stopping at nothing to ensure their well-being. Eddi is also a surprisingly capable combatant and maneuvers remarkably well despite the considerable weight of his android body.

Eddi holds a deep respect for R.Dash and idolizes Jana Cero, the two leading women (current and former) of The Sentience share his belief of working together with humanity for the betterment of social relations. Whether that is desire by program, or desire by his own individualism remains to be seen.
Helvetia

Helvetia, also written as Helvetja or Helvetya, is one of the known worlds of the universe.

It exists within the same location as Ximizhlum, albeit it on the Second Evolutionary Stage. If the two worlds ever happened to fall into the same evolutionary category, they would crush each other, leaving no life behind.

Unlike Ximizhlum, Helvetia is mainly populated by humanoids. Most of these are powerful physically and or/psychically and intelligent. Even the weakest of Helvetian humanoids is stronger than the average human of Ximizhlum.
Dulahan golem

A Doll-type Dulahan-class golem, also known simply as Dulahan, is a golem of Ximi design. Its full Ximi name is Golemus Ordumnisemani Yagumdulahani.

A golem is any autonomous artificial construct.

Since the dulahan golems' heads have their own soul gems that power them, they can go away from the body for a long time before running out of energy. The heads can also be used for combat, such as if elemental conduits are built into them.

The dulahan's central soul gem is in its body, meaning that destruction of its head won't kill it.

As they operate on soul gems, which in turn use souls, you could bind the spirit of a greatly dexterous warrior to one and input into the golem, making them nigh immortal, as long as the gem doesn't get destroyed or goes empty.
Indaria

Indaria is the Capital City of the humanity's empire. As one of humanity's oldest settlements, Indaria became a seat of power quite early and maintained its status until it was completely destroyed during the Firmamental Break.

It used to have a different name during Ximizhle's times and the Takedan times, however, that name was lost forever when Bjorn Varkamblood erased it from existence through means unknown. Since then, it has been known as Indaria or Capital, and that name is now even found in texts predating Bjorn's Campaign.
