Season 2 is finally here! It was hard work.
Worldview: People who used the insecticide "Jungle Juice" that was once on the market have turned into insect-humans. They live hidden away in a secret world called "NEST," unknown to ordinary humans. Jungle Juice: When sprayed on an insect, that insect's DNA is transferred to nearby humans, who then take on the characteristics of that insect. (e.g., spraying a dragonfly results in a nearby human becoming a dragonfly-human). Complex: The classification of the insect DNA that makes one an insect-human. (e.g., gaining dragonfly abilities results in a Dragonfly Complex). NEST: A protection facility for insect-humans. Cinderella: A substance that allows an insect-human to return to their original human form. Because it is extremely difficult to produce, only one top-ranking graduate per year is awarded Cinderella. State: A technique that unleashes the full power of a Complex.

(e.g., a Cockroach Complex user activating State would see an explosive increase in regeneration and physical stats). Pet Shop: An organization that turns humans into insect-humans and conducts experiments through "feeding training." Ingestion: When an insect-human consumes another insect-human, they lose their reason and become addicted to carnivory. Their exoskeleton hardens and they grow stronger, though a rare few manage to retain their sanity. Feeding Training: A method of slave-taming used by Pet Shop where they intentionally create insect-humans and force them to ingest others to make them subservient. Propolis: An organization composed of the most elite students at NEST. Warning: Jungle Juice is the drug that creates insect-humans.
