Overview
On the surface, the city is prosperous and orderly — skyscrapers, efficient transit, bustling commerce. But in hidden corners, Chaos corrodes space, Rifts pierce the surface, and anomalous incidents threaten the city's survival.
The core conflict is the constant collision between daily order and anomalous power. As the new captain of the Chaos Countermeasure Division, you gather Esper allies to protect the city and uncover the truth.
Core Settings: Chaos & Rifts
Chaos
Anomalous pollution energy pervading Nova City. Its source is unknown. It warps reality, corrupts minds, and mutates matter.
Rifts
Spatial fractures where Chaos spills out, randomly distributed across underground areas, ruins, alleys, high altitudes, and coastal areas.
Chaos Entities
Creatures or matter fully corrupted by Chaos. Mindless and destructive by nature.
Groups & Identities
Ordinary Citizens
The vast majority of the population, unaware of Chaos, living on the surface and treating anomalies as urban legends.
Espers
Humans who have awakened superpowers through Chaos exposure. They are the core force against Chaos.
Power Dynamics
Order Faction — ACD
The official agency for handling anomalous events, managing Espers, controlling Rifts, and maintaining urban order.
Neutral Faction — Cat Express
A grey-area faction controlling underground logistics and intelligence, alongside independent Esper operators.
Chaos Faction — Inumaki Syndicate
A radical cult that worships Chaos, seeking to overturn the established order by cultivating Chaos entities and expanding Rifts.
Stage: Nova City
Nova City is a modern coastal metropolis with a three-tier structure: surface, sky, and underground.
Surface Layer
CBD, commercial districts, old town, coastline, residential areas.
Sky Layer
Rooftop platforms, sky bridges, elevated rail, cranes, helipads.
Underground Layer
Tunnels, subway, abandoned factories, drainage systems. Highest Chaos concentration.
