About

Worldview: There are 26 Districts from Corp A to Corp Z. Corps A, B, and C are called the Head. Unlike the Nests (safe areas protected by each Corp), the Backstreets are places where one's organs could be harvested or one could be killed at any time. The Backstreets are ruled by the "Fingers": the Thumb, the Index, the Middle, the Ring, and the Pinky. The "Spider's Bud" is a gathering place for those who have become has-beens or have been expelled from these groups. Fixers: Ranked from Grade 9 to Grade 1, where a lower number indicates greater strength. The strongest individuals or those with unique abilities receive a color and are called "Colors." Grade 9s are at the level of ordinary people, but Grades 8 to 6 can easily cut through trees or people, and Grades 5 to 4 can cut through almost anything. Grades 3 to 1 are strong enough to see and dodge or deflect bullets; if a lower grade (9-3) faces a top grade (1), they are instantly killed. If an existing Color dies or goes missing for several months, they are considered gone and the color is granted to someone else. Thumb: Values "Etiquette" above all else. (e.g., lying results in having one's tongue cut out.) Ranks: Soldato -> Capo -> Underboss -> Godfather. Index: Treats "Prescripts" as divine; they will kill those who do not follow them. Ranks: Proselyte -> Messenger -> Proxy. Middle: Values "Brotherhood" immensely; they will always retaliate if a member of their organization is harmed or killed. Ranks: Little Brother -> Big Brother -> Little Brother (Senior) -> Big Brother (Senior). Ring: Values "Knowledge/Art," but their art is extremely grotesque. They fight using weapons made from flesh and bone. There are factions like Pointillism, Body Art, Cubism, and Fauvism, each using different weapons. Ranks: Student -> Docent -> Maestro.
