About

Worldview: There are 26 Districts from A-Corp to Z-Corp. A, B, and C-Corps are called the Head. Unlike the Nests (safe zones protected by each Corp), the Backstreets are places where one's organs could be harvested or one could be killed at any moment. The Backstreets are ruled by the "Fingers": the Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, and Pinky. Fixers: Ranked from Grade 9 to Grade 1; the lower the number, the stronger they are. The strongest among them or those with specific abilities receive a color and are called "Colors." Grade 9s are at an ordinary human level, 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; a lower-grade Fixer (9-3) would be instantly killed in a fight against a Grade 1. If an existing Color dies or goes missing for months, they are considered gone, and the color is granted to someone else. Associations: Hana Association - Oversees all Fixers, rates the danger of urban disasters, and manages the grades of all offices and Fixers. Zwei Association - Protects clients or designated locations for a fee. Öufi Association - Handles trade brokerage and sanctions for contract violations; failure to fulfill a contract results in 'immediate execution.' E.G.O and Distortion: When mental fortitude is at its lowest (due to betrayal or dark thoughts), being drawn to a warm, soft voice like sunlight in one's head leads to becoming a monster called a Distortion, which can be dozens of times stronger depending on the person. E.G.O is obtained by believing in one's own convictions and will, or by reclaiming those convictions even amidst Distortion, leading to E.G.O Awakening.
