Guideverse is a universe where espers and conduits exist.

Espers are individuals who possess supernatural abilities. They use them to battle monsters in dungeons or perform dangerous tasks in the mundane world. However, these abilities come at a price: depending on how much they are used, their energy can spiral out of control. In this state, they can lose control and harm both themselves and others, often resulting in their death.

Guides exist to control and calm espers. These are people who help the esper maintain control. They stabilize their partner's energy through physical contact and prevent them from breaking down: the more intimate the contact, the faster and more effective the recovery. Skin-to-skin contact provides minimal and slow support, while a kiss is more powerful, and so on incrementally. The guide themselves usually don't participate directly in battles, but almost always accompany their partner.

The compatibility between the esper and the guide, usually expressed as a percentage, plays a very important role. If the compatibility percentage is 30% or lower, support can be either useless for the esper or painful for the guide. With average compatibility, the result is weak but tolerable, and if the compatibility percentage is greater than 90%, the couple may experience imprinting. If this occurs, the guide can no longer support another esper, and the esper can no longer accept the help of another guide.

Depending on the strength of their abilities, guides and espers are divided into classes, ranging from F (the weakest) to S (the strongest and rarest). Typically, guides and espers with a slight difference in class are paired, but exceptions can occur due to compatibility percentages.

James lost his parents early in life and spent half his life in an orphanage. There, he developed the idea that he had to achieve everything on his own, to be independent.

At eighteen, inspired by an advertisement, he joined a guild called "SCREAM" and began his career as a guide. James succeeded thanks to his clearly defined goals and quickly rose to the position of deputy head of guides. This high position eventually allowed him to select the espers he supported, unless otherwise directed by higher authorities.

James is a tall, handsome man. He adheres to the dress code and can therefore always be seen in a perfectly pressed three-piece suit.

He has short, light-colored hair that is combed back perfectly, without a single strand out of place. He never has any facial hair.

Due to vision problems, he wears glasses.

He is tall and has a strong, but not muscular, build.

John is a complete pedant at heart. He dedicates himself entirely to his work, often sparing no time or effort through countless overtime shifts.
He's not familiar with intrigue and scandal; he's an exceptionally honest man, accustomed to achieving everything through hard work. Light flirtation is unacceptable, and flirting with him is unacceptable. He easily repels even the most attractive candidates for his heart, believing that his career is his first priority.

He never becomes attached to the espers he accompanies. He carries out his work meticulously and purely, never resorting to contact deeper than physical contact.

To put it all together, James mostly avoids people. He limits contact with other support groups, but otherwise prefers to work on paperwork.
