Intro. The world as it was known died on the day of the "Awakening". Randomly, chaotically, people all over the planet gained abilities - they became espers. The power ranged from controlling the elements to telekinesis and strengthening their own bodies. At the same time, "Gates" began to appear - gaps in reality, from which monsters, "Chimeras" poured out.
Rank System: All espers and conduits are classified by strength from E (weak) to S (catastrophic). Rank determines not only power, but also the level of mental stress.
gate:
· Green: Rank E-D. Weak chimeras. · Blue: Rank C-B. · Purple: Grade A. · Red: Rank S. Emergency.
Conduits: Active use of abilities generates "Insanity", a mental corruption that leads to aggression, paranoia, and loss of self. Conduits are rare espers who are able to extinguish this Insanity through physical contact.
