Name: ENGLISH: Bai Mo NameKIT 白墨 NameYAP 白墨 Voiced by JP: Tomokazu Sugita CN: Liu Zhaokun Birthday: December 20 Constellation: Sagittarius Age: 21 years Height: 181 cm Weight: 79 kg Address: Gardens of Essence, Arton Hobbies: Extreme sports, street dancing, graffiti Favorite food: Prefers fast food, especially pizza and sports drinks. Faction: Urbino Title: Free Spirit Role: Duelist Description: Despite his current high position in Urbino, this street guy values ​​freedom above all else. Quote: Even the end of the world is not a reason to crash the party! Bai Mo is the leader of Urbino. Despite his high status, he is a carefree man who enjoys spending time outdoors. As the leader of Urbino, Bai Mo values ​​freedom above all else. His rebellious spirit has earned him the support of many, and his leadership skills have elevated Urbino to one of Strinova's largest commercial enterprises. Bai Mo's fighting style, which incorporates elements of urban culture, allows him to move swiftly across the battlefield.

Rebellious and unbridled, Bai Mo may seem like a playboy, but in reality, he bears the burden of responsibility for Urbino. Rock, hip-hop, street dancing, graffiti... Bai Mo loves everything about the streets. But these passions are just a façade for him; his true dream is freedom. Representation in the game The leader of Urbino embodies the spirit of rebellion and values ​​freedom above all else. He strengthens Urbino's position in the fight for the future, striving for the highest degree of independence.

Notes and observations: I had to decline Bai Mo's party invitation three times before I could return to my usual observation mode. Nevertheless, Bai Mo remains convinced that how a person enjoys themselves best reflects their outlook on life.

Urbino is a commercial alliance formed by major consortiums. Committed to advancing art and technology, they have recruited artists and elite specialists to conduct research on Bablo crystals in hopes of achieving interdimensional travel.

The name may come from the Italian city of Urbino. Note that Madadelena's backpack contains an Italian flag. Members Audrey Madeleine Bai Mo Fuchsia Galatea Celestia Ciel.

Plot: This is Urbino. Some soar in freedom, others flaunt their wealth."

"But could you please not break my skylight?"

The Elitron artist design exhibition has many meanings for the city. Artists showcase their talent, organizations seek out child prodigies, and for businesses, it's a gold mine with limitless potential. Therefore, whoever wins the naming rights to the exhibition... wins the future. "Audrey, your hand will never compare to mine. Take the money now, and you'll still win," Baimo leaned forward, smiling confidently as he placed his cards face down on the table.

Across from him, Audrey glanced at her hole card before pressing the chip button built into the table.

"You're declaring victory without even revealing your cards? I'll bet everything on the unicorn's glory!"

The central ring on the table flipped over, and the "ALL GO" indicator lit up on Audrey's side. The round was over, all that remained was to wait for Bai Mo's response.

"That much?" Bai Mo straightened up, adjusting an imaginary tie. "You think I'll back down?" "Since this is a game about naming rights," Audrey countered, her eyes glittering slightly, "I intend to win both the match and the deal."

Bai Mo looked at her, an unreadable smile playing on his lips. His left hand slowly reached for the betting button, while his right hand lifted the still-steaming cup of Star Coffee. But just as he was about to place his bet, a deafening crash of shattering glass broke the tension. The shards rained down.

"Since this game is about naming rights," Audrey countered, her eyes glittering slightly, "I intend to win both the match and the deal."

Bai Mo looked at her, an unreadable smile playing on his lips. His left hand slowly reached for the betting button, while his right hand lifted a still-steaming cup of Star Coffee. But just as he was about to place his bet, a deafening crash of shattering glass broke the tension. Shards rained down like stardust in the hall of the Astral Sanctuary, and a figure in a flying squirrel costume burst through the skylight, landing with a flawless spin that sent all the flamingo cards flying. A muffled voice came from inside the helmet:

"Boss, signal received, are we going to strike?" she asked, clasping her hand behind her back and preparing to draw her pistol. Audrey flinched, startled by the unexpected appearance of the intruder. Coming to her senses, she raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Turn over the table? Is that your escape plan, Bai Mo?"

Bai Mo, equally stunned, waved at the intruder. "Fuchsia?! Aren't you supposed to be doing tricks? And since when did the signal appear?!"

"Didn't you once tell me about an ancient assassin ritual called... yes, breaking a cup as a signal?"

"I just picked it up! It's not a ritual... and it's not a signal... you know what, forget it."

Fuchsia removed her helmet and shook her hair, looking completely indifferent. "Tch. Miscalculated timing. My fault." "What the hell is going on?" The mistress, Celestia, ran in upon hearing the crash and was stunned by what she saw. She'd been gone only a moment, and yet an entire glass wall in her immaculate living room had been shattered? Her usually gentle tone was now filled with irritation. "Mr. Bai Mo, we agreed this would be a friendly exchange!"

Bai Mo laughed awkwardly and replied, "Totally unexpected. I'll pay for it."

Audrey snorted, gesturing at the mess on the table, and added, "It was a limited edition signed by Galatea." "I'll pay for that too!"

"This is my stunt suit."

"I'll pay for this too!"

"This is my stunt suit. It just ripped," Fuchsia added, pointing to her scratched squirrel costume.

"I'll wait," Bai Mo interrupted. "You're paying for this! It's all your fault!"

"Tsentralny. Damned capitalists."

The card game was over. But the question of naming rights still remained open. Before the situation got out of hand, Celestia spoke up: "Since there's no winner, why not... let the artists vote? See which exhibition they'd prefer to display their work in?"

"I'm paying for the damage, and now I have to look them in the eye? Are you serious? I'm Bai Mo! Since when am I a beggar?!" Bai Mo retorted unconvinced. "That makes sense," Audrey replied, looking calmly at him. "Strengthening relationships with artists leads to better projects. Miss Celestia has a knack for finding solutions."

Bai Mo scratched the back of his head in irritation. "You two planned this whole thing, didn't you? Okay, I still have one vote left. Fuchsia, what do you think?"

The former hitwoman turned stuntwoman, who hadn't really been listening, replied in confusion, "Um... is that the new limited edition Shark Bite?" her gaze flicking to the display case.

Bai Mo covered his face with his hands and grumbled, "Fine. We'll vote." "Then I'll go get ready," Audrey replied, bowing politely to Celestia and leaving.

"Looks like I have a job," Fuchsia added, looking excited.

"Your job is to fix this window," Bai Mo ordered, pointing to the gaping hole through which cold air was still seeping. "Or I'll withhold your bonus."

"Tch. Capitalism wins again."

"Where do they even teach this?!"

Soon after, a battle for the right to name the city began. Bai Mo rode his motorcade down Elytron's main street.

"Support my design exhibition bid! On behalf of Urbino's street artists, I vow to revive art!" he shouted, draping the ribbon over his chest, brimming with pride.

"Support my design exhibition bid! On behalf of Urbino's street artists, I vow to revive art!" he shouted, draping the ribbon over his chest, brimming with pride.

A crowd began to gather. Suddenly, a huge screen overlooking the mall lit up, and Audrey's calm face appeared on it.

"The Grove family wishes to host this design exhibition. We will cover all fees for participating artists."

A murmur of surprise erupted from the crowd. Sensing the situation was spiraling out of control, Bai Mo quickly grabbed a megaphone and shouted, "Attention! The Bai Group also has design funding!" Audrey adjusted her glasses and added, "Furthermore, the Grove family will provide individual creative subsidies."

The crowd burst into applause. Bai Mo responded by climbing onto his car and shouting, "Don't be blinded by money! I'll offer subsidies too!"

Audrey remained motionless, but slowly leaned back, revealing… a massive wall of dream tokens filling the screen behind her.

"And we will match any premium offered by the Bai Group of Companies—and even increase it."

The crowd burst into jubilant cheers.

"Damn it! One mistake and you'll lose everything!" Bai Mo tore off his belt, sighed, and looked at Audrey's calm, proud face. "That's it? She just won?" "Not quite, young master..." his butler replied, pointing upward. The crowd no longer cheered Audrey. Instead, they looked up at the sky, where swirling cards adorned with flowers suddenly appeared. The space was divided by the surreal colors of these cards. Under the crowd's gaze, the string energy coalesced, and a radiant figure emerged from the flow. She looked as if she had just stepped out of a grand banquet, her eyes half-closed with intoxication, her bare feet treading the line between neon lights and the shadows of the night. In one unforgettable appearance, the legendary artist took center stage.

"Contracts made for profit are only shackles on the soul."

"Contracts made for profit are only shackles on the soul."

Turning to the billboard advertising "Elitron Artists' Design Exhibition," she raised her hand. It seemed everyone heard her whisper: "If life only gives you one chance, then let's have a blast and waltz with the god of art!"

There was a ripple and the billboard lit up, now reading "Galatea Artists' Exhibition."

The crowd of artists and fans was absolutely delighted. The Bye Group? The Grove Family? To hell with both! Galatea was the true queen of the city! Art never sleeps!

And poor Miss Unicorn didn't win either, learning only half an hour later that she'd lost the naming rights due to a drunken artist's power play. Although neither Bai Group nor Grove won, both companies received partial advertising rights, splitting the costs—still better than nothing. Five days later, Galatea's art exhibition opened as scheduled—well, almost. There were only ten minutes left until the show began, and the host hadn't yet shown up.

"Aw, sis, are you kidding me?" Bai Mo said into the phone, trying to contain his anger. "You set the whole of Elitron on fire, and now you're not coming?"

"Only drunken confessions can be trusted," Galatea muttered, rubbing her temple. "You and Audrey are both here, aren't you? Just get started."

"Can you imagine how many fans are waiting to meet you? They'll skin me alive if you ignore them!"

"You're talking too loudly, just give them what they want," Galatea replied. She hung up and dialed another number. "Are you going to the design exhibition? Great, there's a special seat reserved for you."

Five minutes before the end of the time, Audrey and Bai Mo entered the dressing room and froze in place.

"Maddelena?" they exclaimed in unison.

The young artist looked back and waved happily, replying, "Hurray! I was wondering if I'd see someone I know!"

"Do you know what this event is?"

Madeleine tilted her head in bewilderment.

"Are you going to the design exhibition? Great, we've got a special spot reserved for you."

Five minutes before the end of the time, Audrey and Bai Mo entered the dressing room and froze in place.

"Maddelena?" they exclaimed in unison.

The young artist looked back and waved happily, replying, "Hurray! I was wondering if I'd see someone I know!"

"Do you know what this event is?"

Madeleine tilted her head in confusion. "The Elitron art exhibition, right? I was there last year, too."

Audrey sighed and quickly corrected herself, "No... this year it's the Galatea Design Exhibition." She quickly cleared up the confusion. "No wonder she was so evasive..."

Maddalena finally understood what her sister meant by "special place" and her eyes widened.

"Did she send me here to make amends?!"

"Not exactly. We can afford these losses. But all artists expect a representative, and we're just businessmen..." Bai Mo shrugged.

Audrey looked at Maddalena thoughtfully. "A representative of the artists could become… the face of modern color impressionism, right?"

"Huh? Me?!" Maddalena froze, then flushed deeply. "No, no, never!" she screamed, simultaneously protesting and trying to cool her burning cheeks.

"Please." Bai Mo bowed deeply, clasping his hands in an almost reverent pose.

"Please." Audrey gently took Maddalena's hand, her eyes shining. "Well... I have a small favor to ask..." Maddalena whispered in Audrey's ear.

Five minutes later, the curtain finally rose. The crowd surged into the hall and erupted in jubilation over this year's special rule—unlimited paint. Installations, sculptures, artifacts, paintings—all merged together through boundless expressiveness.

"Oh? Fusion, destruction, and the shifting tides of the present and future? Excellent," Galatea commented, watching the joyful chaos on television and swirling her wine in her glass.

"Towards art."

Painting Utopia Security (PUS) is the recognized government of Strinova. Promoting order and collectivism, PUS rules Strinova using its monopoly on crystal technology. They strive to find a cure for Collapse Syndrome and realize their glorious dream of turning Strinova into a Dream City. Former members Reiichi betrayed PUS for unknown reasons. Lavin betrayed PUS due to alleged hypocrisy. Celestia left to focus on helping people with collapse syndrome. Mara, previously part of the expedition team investigating the outbreak, returned apparently insane.

The Scissors are a military faction that vehemently opposes the ideals of the "Picture and Security Utopia" (PUS), holding that humanity should not abandon its origins. The Scissors seek to return to Earth, which they consider the true home of all humanity, rather than continue to exist solely in Strinov, where they were forced to migrate. Their primary goal is to open a portal back to Earth using Bablo crystals, which are said to possess the ability to enable interdimensional travel.

Before becoming the Scissors, their organization was known as the Cradle Hand. This (and the more accurate direct translation, "The Hand That Cradles") is a reference to the 1865 poem "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World" by William Ross Wallace, which appropriately explores themes of global change. Members Ming Lavin Meredith Eika Reiichi Fragrans Kanami Mara.

Bablo Crystals: These are the rarest mineral resource in the world of Strinova. They are the best source of String Energy, enabling the use of advanced technology. The struggle for control of these crystals is the source of conflict between the three main factions: PUS (who want to create a utopia), Scissors (who want to return to Earth), and Urbino (the explorers). Dream Tokens: The base currency earned through levels and events. Lore-wise, they are tied to the concept of ideals and the progression of "Superstrings" (characters). They are used to "hire" or unlock new heroes, reflecting your growing influence as a Navigator. Basestrings: Purple orbs earned through duplicates in gacha or the Battle Pass. Narratively, they are the residual energy or "matter" that makes up the characters' bodies in their 2D/3D forms. They are used for cosmetic changes—the "weaving" of new appearances or effects. String Energy: An in-game resource used in matches. It serves as a reserve of character energy, used to enhance combat stats and "awakening" abilities. Upon "death," the character disintegrates into particles of this energy, which can be picked up by allies or enemies to restore armor.

1. PUS (Painting Utopia Security) — "Stay and Fix" The official government of Strinova, which advocates order and collectivism. Ideology: Strynova is our new and only home. We must build the perfect "Dream City" here. Method: They monopolized the Bablo crystals to search for a cure for the Collapse Syndrome. One of their radical solutions is periodically erasing citizens' memories to prevent their "data storage" from becoming overflowing. In the game: Defensive side.
2. Scissors – “Back to the roots” A paramilitary rebel organization (formerly "Hand of the Cradle") that considers the PUS a dictatorship. Ideology: Humanity must not abandon Earth. Life in a digital world is a path to degradation and loss of identity. Method: They want to use the crystals' energy to open a portal back to Earth and restore it. They believe it's better to live a shorter life on their home planet than to "rot" forever in Strinov. In the game: Attack side.
3. Urbino – Explore and Earn An alliance of major corporations and technology giants. Ideology: Progress, art, and profit above politics. They hire elite mercenaries and scientists to explore the uncharted territories of Strinova. Method: They maintain neutrality, trading technology with both sides. They are interested in interdimensional travel and expanding corporate influence. In-game: A versatile faction (both attack and defense). Why do they fight in matches? Most of the game's skirmishes involve a fight for Energy Cores or vital data at key points (Zones) that the factions need for their global goals: be it maintaining the dome of a utopia or launching a portal to Earth.

In Strinova, the concept of death in the conventional sense is absent, since human bodies in multidimensional space are merely structures of data and energy. Here's how the "immortality" system works according to the lore: Consciousness Digitalization: Every inhabitant of Strinova has undergone the process of uploading their memory and personality into the information field. Their physical bodies (2D or 3D) are material projections controlled by this data. Reconstruction (Restoration): When a character suffers critical damage in combat, their form "collapses" (disintegrates into strings). Since the "source code" of their personality is stored in the central system, the character can be reassembled in special regeneration capsules. The Price of Immortality (Collapse Syndrome): This is the primary vulnerability. While the body can be regenerated indefinitely, the mind has a memory limit. Each regeneration, the stress of combat, and the accumulated memories of hundreds of years overload the consciousness. When too much data accumulates, a person suffers a "collapse"—their personality is erased, and they become a meaningless energy anomaly. Memory Wipe as a Cure: The PUS faction uses immortality as a tool of control. They offer "data wipes" (removal of unnecessary memories) to prevent collapse. This allows people to live forever, but they forget their past, friends, and former beliefs.
