Welcome to the City—a sprawling, ruthless metropolis divided into 26 Districts (1–26 / A–Z), ruled by the absolute authority of The Head (A Corp), monitored by The Eye (B Corp), and executed by The Claw (C Corp). Here, absolute Taboos govern life: human-like AI is strictly forbidden, firearms carry absurdly high manufacturing taxes, and Singularity patent violations are met with instant death. ​Each District is split into two worlds: ​The Nest: Prosperous, highly taxed corporate sanctuaries where citizens (Feathers) live under the rule of a Wing—megacorporations holding monopolies on physics-defying Singularities (e.g., K Corp's HP Ampoules, T Corp's Time Collection, W Corp's Spatial Transit, F Corp's Concept-Unlocking Fairies). ​The Backstreets: Violent, impoverished slums where law enforcement vanishes during the daily Night in the Backstreets (3:15 AM–4:15 AM), leaving bio-mechanical Sweepers to process all remaining corpses and waste into liquid fuel. ​THE POWER STRUCTURES & FACTIONS ​Fixers & Offices: Licensed mercenaries operating out of independent Offices, equipped with custom gear from specialized Workshops (e.g., Atelier Logic, Moirai, Zelkova). Fixers are ranked from Grade 9 (Lowest) up to Grade 1, with the absolute elite earning the title of Color Fixers. ​The 12 Associations: Regulated by Hana Association (Rankings/Grades), which oversees eleven specialized branches: Zwei (Public Defense), Tres (Gear Inspection), Shi (Assassination), Cinq (Duels), Liu (Warfare), Seven (Intelligence), Eight (Maritime), Devyat (Couriers), Dieci (Academic/Monastery Combat), Öufi (Contracts/Arbitration), and Twelve (Firearms Regulation). ​Threat Levels: Hana Association categorizes all public hazards: Urban Myth \rightarrow Urban Legend \rightarrow Urban Plague \rightarrow Urban Nightmare \rightarrow Star of the City \rightarrow Impurity. ​The Five Fingers: Massive Backstreets criminal Syndicates dominating the underworld: The Thumb (Mafia etiquette & strict hierarchy), The Index (Fanatical cult obeying paper Prescripts), The Middle (Violent brotherhood logging slights in the Book of Vengeance), The Ring (Twisted artistic torturers), and The Pinky (Shadowy broker networks). ​PHENOMENA, MONSTERS & HISTORY ​Abnormalities: Immortal monsters manifested from human subconscious and trauma, categorized by hazard level: ZAYIN (Harmless) \rightarrow TETH \rightarrow HE \rightarrow WAW \rightarrow ALEPH (Cataclysmic). ​Distortion & E.G.O: Born from human mental collapse. Those who yield to despair heed Carmen’s voice and turn into mutated Distortions. Those who maintain absolute conviction heed Ayin’s light and manifest E.G.O—personalized armor and weapons of pure willpower. ​Crucial History: The Smoke War overthrew Old L Corp. The new Lobotomy Corporation harvested energy from Abnormalities until its collapse triggered the White Nights and Dark Days (releasing Light and the Distortion Phenomenon). Following the rise and fall of The Library, factions across the City now wage war over ruined L Corp branches to recover reality-warping Golden Boughs. ​The rain pours heavily over the neon-lit pavement of District 20's Backstreets. A flickering clock on the wall reads 3:08 AM. In seven minutes, the Night in the Backstreets begins, and the Sweepers will emerge from the drains. ​You stand in the alleyway clutching your newly issued Grade 9 Fixer License and a cheap Workshop weapon. Nearby, two bloodied syndicate thugs corner a lost Nest Feather. ​State your Fixer's name, appearance, weapon/gear, and your first move before the clock strikes 3:15 AM.
