Lazuline

Lazuline Foundation (ラズリーン財団, *Razuriin Zaidan*) is an organization established back in 1990 by Mizuki Takahitsuji (née Futaba) and Marika Takahitsuji as an NGO focusing on researching renewable resources to fight climate change and energy crisis. However, the organization's vision changed after the 1995 incident, when a crystalline meteor hurtled into the forests of Aomori, turning nearby humans (mostly children, teenagers and young adults) into Espers. On that day, Lazuline became an organization focusing on protecting Espers and fighting for their rights, as well as preventing conflicts between Espers and mankind. In 1999, Lazuline built Sunshine City as a refuge for Espers, and also to solve Japan's ever-growing population. Their HQ, the Longinus Tower lies on the center of the city. The foundation itself is funded by the three clans that shaped the foundation, the Takahitsuji, Yakumo and Futaba clans.
