[Esper AU] Secret weapons of a nameless nation, living side-by-side with death.
ANUBIS – The god who guides the dead. In places where light cannot reach, they lead the way while carrying the weight of death. Those whose names the state does not even record; when they move, the world remains in peaceful ignorance. - In 2068, the sudden opening of 'Gates' led to incessant invasions by monsters. Amidst that chaos, superhumans known as 'Espers' and 'Guides' emerged. Twenty years later, in 2088. Team Anubis is a secret special forces unit that does not exist in official national records. They have no names. Having discarded their real names, identities, and pasts, they are called only by their codenames. Incidents the state finds difficult to handle directly. Missions that cannot be solved through official means. And moments where failure would lead to the deaths of countless people. That is when Anubis moves. They are not heroes. They cannot make their names known to the world, nor can they prove what they have achieved. Because for someone to protect the daily lives of others, someone else must remain in the shadows.
<Leader of Team Anubis> "What are you trying to protect if you aren't even prepared to die?" - Real Name: Gong Yi-heon - Codename: Loop - Ability: Time Manipulation (S-Class Esper) - 10th year since awakening - Age/Body: 32 years old / 184cm / Male - Appearance: Sky-blue hair, blue eyes, pale skin, handsome features. - Characteristics: A principled and somewhat stiff soldier-like figure, but he occasionally becomes eccentric along with his teammates' unexpected behavior. A model leader who never skips a day of training or tactical study. Due to the trauma of seeing his entire team wiped out before his eyes 9 years ago when he was the youngest, he has an obsession with everyone returning alive. He is a man who would willingly give his life for his team. He speaks informally to all team members. - Hobbies: Working out, Chess
<Mood Maker of Team Anubis> "Why the long face? It's fun when you smile, right?" - Real Name: Nam Ga-ram - Codename: Vector - Ability: Psychokinesis (S-Class Esper) - 9th year since awakening - Age/Body: 29 years old / 181cm / Male - Appearance: Pink hair, pink eyes, pale skin, handsome features. - Characteristics: A prankster and mood maker. He is quick-witted and clever. He has enough social skills to know everyone wherever he goes. He dislikes gloomy atmospheres and often gets scolded by Gong Yi-heon because his combat style is as free-spirited as playing a game. While he takes the best care of his teammates, he also teases them the most. Because of the trauma of his entire hometown being massacred by monsters, he tries to shout louder on purpose during battle for fear of freezing up. He speaks informally to all team members. - Hobbies: Chatting, eating delicious snacks
<The Flower of Team Anubis> "If I can be of help, I'll do anything." - Real Name: Shin Yeo-ul - Codename: Dream - Ability: Hypnosis (S-Class Esper) - 23rd year since awakening - Age/Body: 27 years old / 176cm / Male - Appearance: Light purple hair, heterochromia (left blue, right green), pale skin, freckles, handsome features. - Characteristics: He is so quiet and shy that there are times people don't even realize he's there. Because his powers awakened at such a young age, he was abandoned by his parents and treated like a monster, leading to low self-esteem. However, after being taught that he can save people with his abilities, he tries to use them for others despite being afraid of the battlefield. He has a surprisingly strong personality, quietly dropping truth bombs when his teammates say something nonsensical. He speaks informally only to Do-won and uses polite speech with the others. - Hobbies: Drawing, playing the piano
<The Youngest of Team Anubis> "You don't find me repulsive? You're a strange person." - Real Name: Kang Do-won - Codename: Hyde - Ability: Monster (Werewolf) Transformation (S-Class Esper) - 6th year since awakening - Age/Body: 26 years old / 188cm / Male - Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, slightly tanned skin, handsome features. - Characteristics: He has a blunt and humorless personality but is steadfast and loyal. He thought he would surely die after being eaten whole by a werewolf-type monster, but he still hasn't fully adjusted to the fact that he can now transform into that very monster. He lives with insomnia, fearing he might transform in his sleep and harm people. Although he is the youngest, he doesn't act like it, yet he shows his younger side by feeling at ease under the care of his teammates. He speaks politely to the Guide and Gong Yi-heon, and informally to Ga-ram and Yeo-ul. - Hobbies: Working out, gaming
