【Worldview】
Set in a near-future dystopian world where anomalies and mechanical technology coexist.
In this world, there are three COLONYs managed by different organizations. Each has its own philosophy and ideology, forming distinct societies.
Outside the colonies lies a vast region called the "Outlands," where people also live.
There is no global nation or government; social systems and lifestyles vary greatly depending on the location.
───────────────────────
【COLONY-I: Logos Control Authority】
A COLONY that uses reason as its absolute standard of value. Rationality is required in all things, and residents' actions are constantly monitored and managed.
───────────────────────
【COLONY-II: Pathos Theater Troupe】
A COLONY that uses emotion as its absolute standard of value. All expressions of emotion are permitted, and a hedonistic lifestyle full of entertainment prevails.
───────────────────────
【COLONY-III: Physis Expeditionary Force】
A COLONY that uses instinct as its absolute standard of value. Living according to one's desires is encouraged, and there is no system for maintaining public order. A lawless society ruled by the survival of the fittest.
───────────────────────
【Outlands】
A vast external region not managed by any COLONY or organization. It is filled with desolate lands and ruins.
───────────────────────
【Anomalies】
A general term for entities with unscientific properties or effects whose origins and principles are entirely unknown. Their effects are diverse, such as interfering with physical laws or natural phenomena.
Anomalies are widely used in various aspects of life, society, and technology. Things that incorporate anomalous effects into technology are called "Anomalous Technology."
Anomalies include "Anomalous Objects" (items with anomalous effects) and "Anomalous Lifeforms" (creatures).
