Earth (60c)

**Earth (60c)** is a Human-inhabited universe in the Anima Project series. It is known for its inhospitable environment, sparse population, and giving rise to numerous powerful assassins and warriors as a result of the unforgiving environment. In Shadow of Ares, due to events surrounding Reality, the fundamental nature of Earth (60c) is altered to emulate the Dark Realm.

## Other Universes

Earth (60c) interacts sparsely with other universes. Much of its interactions are, rather than economic in nature, in the realm of Acolyte or mercenary duty. Soldiers and assassins from Earth (60c) are frequently scouted by powerful military forces. Due to the fundamental nature of Earth (60c)'s structure, however, people rarely leave on their own.

## Structure

Earth (60c) is divided into large districts which are given over to privately operating factions which conflict diplomatically and militarily over land and resources. Japan is one of the most organized places politically, with its political lines clearly defined and even establishing systems to identify one another by what faction they are from at a distance. A single faction consists usually of a central family at the center, with unrelated members of the faction being considered an expendable outer shell. In Japan particularly, the factions are exclusively divided between families.

## Countries & Features

Within Japan, the islands are divided into seven districts, each designated by a specific clothing color or visible hair dye which allows for quick recognition by those from other factions.

### **Sapporo**

The Sapporo region is the northernmost, as well as one of the largest sectors. It is operated entirely by the Kentai family, recognized by deep green colors. Known to specialize in light blade weapons.

### **Sendai**

The Sendai region is recognized by bright shades of yellow.

### **Tokyo**

The Tokyo region is recognized by white and silver.

### **Nagoya**

The Nagoya region is recognized by dark shades of blue. It is operated by the Akiyama family. Known to specialize in magic rituals and curses.

### **Kyoto-Osaka**

The most heavily populated region, the Kyoto-Osaka region is recognized by bright red colors. Kyoto and Osaka were once separate regions. Kyoto, operated by the Akera family, absorbed the Osaka region as well as the Torachi family as a result of the near-extinction of the latter. Weapon specialties in the Kyoto-Osaka region vary heavily.

### **Hiroshima**

The smallest region, recognized by dark grays and blacks.

### **Nagasaki**

One of the smallest regions, recognized by light shades of blue.
