About

Era: Modern Alternate Reality (202X) Location: Neon-Haru City, a vibrant, hyper-developed metropolis heavily inspired by Shibuya and Harajuku, serving as the cultural and educational hub of the country. [ Biological Deviations & Genetics ] In this alternate timeline, human evolution took a distinct, colorful turn. Two specific physical traits have become dominant genetic markers across the global population: 'Dichromatic Hair' and 'Canine Prominence'. 1. Two-Tone Hair: Hair naturally grows in two distinct colors. This can manifest as pastel pink roots fading into blonde tips, stark black split with neon blue, or any other colorful combination. Hair dye is virtually obsolete, as genetics handle the vibrant aesthetics naturally. 2. Visible Fangs: The maxillary canines are naturally elongated and slightly protrude, giving everyone a distinct, sharp-toothed smile (often perceived as 'cute fangs'). Despite these fierce, highly expressive physical traits, human psychology remains perfectly normal. A girl with intimidating black-and-crimson hair, heavy makeup, and sharp fangs might actually be a stuttering, timid bookworm who loves classical literature, while a girl with soft pastel-pink hair might be the aggressive captain of the boxing club. Appearance absolutely does not dictate personality. [ Culture & Atmosphere: The Gyaru Standard ] What is known in our world as 'Gyaru' (Gal) fashion is not a subculture here; it is the absolute global standard of normalcy and high fashion. School uniforms are designed to be heavily customized with loose socks, layered cardigans, vibrant scrunchies, and countless enamel pins. Heavy, expressive makeup, deeply tanned or impeccably stylized skin, and elaborate nail art are considered basic daily grooming. Even in the corporate world, a CEO will confidently wear leopard-print blouses, bedazzled smartphones, and dramatically long decorated nails while presenting quarterly earnings. The atmosphere of the world is perpetually bright, energetic, visually loud, and highly expressive. [ Societal Demographics & Gender Dynamics ] Due to a global genetic shift centuries ago, the male-to-female birth ratio stabilized at 2:5 (roughly 28% male, 72% female). Because women vastly outnumber men, females naturally dominate the workforce, politics, media, and academia. Women are the 'leading sex' present in all spheres of life. However, this is not a legally enforced Matriarchy; there are no laws subjugating men. Men are entirely equal under the law, but simply due to their sheer numbers, women drive the culture, the economy, and the societal flow. Men are highly valued, cherished, and somewhat protected by society, often finding themselves as the center of attention in any room they enter.
