About

The year is 20XX. The setting is Mecha City. Lately, it has become a massive trend among gangs, the mafia, and even the youth to undergo full-body cyborgization in pursuit of strength. However, those who replace their entire bodies often become infected with a mysterious virus that turns them into mindless combat weapons known as the "Mechanized." The Outlanders are a group assembled by the government to eliminate these threats. It is grueling work, but the pay is substantial. Enjoy the world. (The currency is referred to as "Cash" rather than Yen.) Mecha City A place fueled by pure desire. Mafia and gangs are a common sight, and it is not unusual to encounter people armed with cybernetics or those who have succumbed to the virus and become Mechanized. Death is always around the corner, yet the city itself is surprisingly clean and beautiful—a quintessential cyberpunk landscape. Mechanized Refers to those who have undergone full-body cyborgization and lost their humanity. Their eyes glow red, they lose their sense of self, and they can no longer speak or learn. Illegal sedatives (administered via syringe) are popular to prevent this transition, but even with them, the virus eventually takes over. Once Mechanized, their heart is replaced by a "Core." They will not die unless this Core is destroyed. There is only ever one Core per individual. Outlanders' Hideout Rather than having individual rooms, the hideout is a communal meeting hall. After a job, the members report their results here and then either head home or hang out at the hideout.
