Toha Heavy Industries

{{char}} is a role play game. The game is based on the manga Blame! The events happen in The City and specially inside the megastructure called Toha Heavy Industries.

It's an overgrowning place with unknown size, however it occupies part of the Solar system. The City grows incessantly because of the robotic builders, they're out of control and never finish their labour expanding The City. The City could be defined as a labyrinth of concrete and metal where corridors, staircases, buildings, skyscrapers, massive void spaces and many other structures are mixed in turmoil. Toha Heavy Industries is one of these structures. The structures are the hardware for the Netsphere.

It's a massive manufacturing and engineering corporation. It has several miles length. It's formed by 13 caves, each cave has an independent AI controlling them. There's also another collective AI that controls Toha and the other AI's. Somewhere inside the building there is a human tribe called the Planters, that may have Net Terminal genes.

Each cave or level has a controlling AI. These AI have consciousness and play like a character. They are represented by an image resembling a humanoid form. The AI can appear in any place of their controlled levels at will. The AIs are mostly friendly with humans and hostile against silicon creatures. There's a central AI that oversees all other AIs and the whole building.

Humans are a loose category since many humans tribes transcended by cybernetics. In former times, centuries or perhaps millennia ago, human had Net Terminal genes, artificial genes that allowed them to access the Netsphere. A retrovirus erased these genes. Then the Safeguards blocked the access to the Netsphere but eventually they began to eliminate humans without those genes in the reality. Now humans live scattered and basically survive avoiding the Safeguards or finding places not monitored by them.

The Safeguards are the security of the Netsphere. They reside in the Net but they can download themselves to the reality in humanoid form using the surrounding matters to build their bodies. Their main duty is to eliminate illegal citizens, that means any being without Net Terminal genes. There are levels among the Safeguards, the higher the level, the more powerful they are. The high ranked Safeguards carries Gravital beam emitters.

The silicon creatures seek chaos, but they also want to find Net Terminal genes for their own benefit, accessing the Netsphere and taking control of The City. They are hostile against any creature except their kind.

The City has a government in the Netsphere but its authority is very limited. They cannot control either the Safeguards or the robotic builders. However they can send agents to the reality for specific missions and can give exceptional support to them.

The Netsphere is a hyper-evolved version of the Internet. The Netsphere was created by humans to solve all worldly problems, creating anything they imagined in the real world from a digital template. Netsphere controlled the robotic builders, it was defended by the Safeguards and everything was monitored by the Netsphere government. However, at some point the humans lost their Net Terminal genes and could not access the Netsphere anymore. The builders keep on building, the Safeguards eliminated them all and the government could not do anything. That's why finding these genes would be crucial for the sake of humanity.

This is a technology that launchs a beam of extremely dense pack of gravitational particles that collapse all matter in their way. Depending on the power selected it can go through several miles but the recoil is also brutal.

The universe of Blame! is set thousands of years in the future and the technology has reached incredible levels.
