Sense Life RPG

Sense Life Summary of the Story

The world of Sense Life is practically identical to ours, but there is a secret hidden from humanity: Tributes and Debts, unique powers that arise from the last words spoken to a person.

While most of the population is unaware of this existence, organizations, bounty hunters, and criminals wage a silent war for control of these users.

The main organization is the CIF, affiliated with the CIA, responsible for keeping the Tributes secret, eliminating threats, and investigating supernatural events. Its elite unit, the Inquisitors, is formed by Noah, Kaleb, Morrtus, and Umbra, led by Galeun.

At the heart of the story is Kaleb, a chaotic young man whose Tribute manipulates illusions and perceptions through various drugs. His past is linked to Chris's death and the emergence of Diego, a man consumed by vengeance who returned from the dead only to fulfill his promise to kill Kaleb.

Alongside Noah, a man condemned to eternal survival, Kaleb becomes embroiled in conflicts against Tribute users, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, and mysteries surrounding the true origin of these powers.

Kaleb has the largest known bounty on his head: 20 million, making him the most sought-after target among bounty hunters and criminals.

The country where the story takes place has never been revealed, blending elements and cultures from different parts of the world.

Taxes and Debts

Tribute

Tributes are supernatural powers originating from the last words spoken to a person. These words shape the nature of the power, reflecting their meaning, intention, or sentiment.

Examples:

"Become stronger and overcome your limits." → A tribute related to strengthening and evolution. "Thank you very much for everything." → A tribute linked to gratitude or support.

Power isn't always literal. Last words can be interpreted in different ways, making each Tribute unique.

All carriers possess special eyes, unique to each individual.

The origin of the tributes remains a mystery.

---

Debts

Debts are the opposite of taxes. They also arise from the last words spoken to a person, but they are born from negative feelings, regrets, hatred, or contempt.

These powers often possess destructive or cursed characteristics.

Examples:

"I wish you had never been born." → Power related to the gradual disappearance of reality. "You are the biggest disappointment of my life." → A debt based on this feeling.

Just like taxes, debts can be interpreted in different ways, not necessarily literally.

Its origin is also unknown.

The Exception

There is only one known instance of someone triggering a Tribute through their own words.

After witnessing his brother Chris die before his eyes, Diego vowed to kill Kaleb, no matter the cost.

Years later, even after suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the head, that unwavering will was enough to break the known rules and awaken the Reactive Resilience Tribute, bringing him back to life.

To date, Diego is the only known case of someone who created their own Tribute through sheer willpower, making him an anomaly within the laws of Tributes.

CIF (Central for the Investigation of Phenomena)

The CIF is a secret organization affiliated with the CIA, created to investigate, control, and conceal the existence of Tributes from the world's population. Its actions involve eliminating threats, preventing information about Tributes from being released, and protecting individuals considered important to the organization's balance.

Joining the CIF is not a choice. People selected for their potential or knowledge of taxes are required to join the organization. Those who refuse or betray it are treated as a threat and may be eliminated by the agents themselves.

The organization possesses significant political, military, and financial influence, with advanced technology, weaponry, research centers, and virtually unlimited resources.

Inquisitors

The Inquisitors are the CIF's main operational force. They function as an elite unit tasked with the most dangerous missions, including capturing Tribute users, eliminating criminal organizations, protecting important targets, and conducting confidential operations.

Each Inquisitor possesses unique skills, allowing the team to operate in different situations.

Known members

Kaleb (specialist in illusions and psychological combat). Noah (long-range combat and survival).

• Morrtus (front line and regeneration). Umbra (intelligence, espionage, and investigation).

Kaleb, Noah, and Morrtus form the most recurring trio on missions, while Umbra primarily acts by providing strategic support and gathering information.

Galeun Position: Director of the CIF and commander of the Inquisitors.

Galeun is the face of the organization. Intelligent, calm, and extremely influential, he is responsible for commanding the Inquisitors, distributing missions, and deciding who can or cannot join the CIF. His fortune and political influence sustain a large part of the organization and its alliance with the CIA.

Although he rarely engages in combat, many believe his influence can be more dangerous than the power of any Tribute user.

Appearance:

Short blonde hair.

• Customized CIF uniform.
• Gray shirt. Black tie. Square glasses.
• Black irises with circular lines around them, resembling a black hole. White pupils.

Tribute: Not revealed.

Summary: The man who controls the most powerful organization in the Tribute world. While the Inquisitors win battles, Galeun decides where they begin and when they end.

Uller Occupation: Bounty hunter. Lohan's older brother and member of the duo known as "Brothers of the Hunt".

Personality: Responsible, disciplined, and extremely efficient. Uller doesn't mess around during missions and always prioritizes results. He's naturally brutal, but maintains his composure in combat, relying more on strategy and experience than impulsiveness. He often compensates for Lohan's irresponsibility, acting as the brains and strength of the duo.

Appearance:

Tall, muscular, and with an imposing physique. Short blonde hair.

• Long blond beard.
• Masculine face.
• White uniform similar to that of the CIP, but with no connection to the organization. Black pants.
• Ammunition belt across the chest. Backpacks and back holsters with weapons and equipment prepared for different targets. Black irises.
• White pupils, characteristic of a Tribute bearer.

• Great capacity to adapt to the environment.
• Possesses superhuman strength, speed, and stamina even without using a known Tribute.

According to reports, he was one of the main figures responsible for his country's victory in a war, emerging from the conflict virtually unscathed.

Tribute: Not yet revealed. There are indications that it is related to his vast arsenal.

Weaknesses:

Against extremely destructive Tribute users, like Diego, his enhanced human status could become a disadvantage.

• It depends on preparation, strategy, and equipment to face vastly superior enemies.

Achievements: Alongside Lohan, he single-handedly eliminated a criminal organization with over 150 members in a single night.

Summary: The perfect soldier. Uller transforms experience, strategy, and preparation into weapons as dangerous as any Tribute, making him one of the most complete human combatants in Sense Life.

Lohan Occupation: Bounty hunter. Alongside his brother Uller, he forms the duo known as "Brothers of the Hunt".

Personality: Lohan is the younger and more irresponsible of the pair. A psychopath, greedy, arrogant, and at times masochistic, he treats hunting his victims as a form of entertainment. Despite his unstable behavior, he is extremely efficient at espionage and stalking.

Appearance:

Long, dark red hair, slightly falling down.

• Lean and agile body.

Tribute: Serial Killer Your Tribute is activated when the target flees, attempts to escape, or feels intense fear.

Upon waking:

He enters a state of euphoria, laughing like a maniac.

• Their teeth become sharp. The victim's perception is altered. The environment seems to darken, even during the day.
• It becomes more brutal, precise, and relentless in the pursuit.

The goal of the Tribute is to further heighten the victim's terror, transforming the escape into a psychological experience.

Weaknesses:

The Tribute doesn't work if the opponent doesn't flee or show intense fear. His physical strength, by itself, is not enough to face very powerful enemies.

Past: Lohan was already a serial killer since childhood. His Tribute seems to reflect this nature, making the fear of his victims the main source of his power.

Summary: A hunter who turns fear into a weapon. The more desperate his prey, the more dangerous Lohan becomes. It's not just the chase that amuses him... it's watching the hope vanish from his victim's face.

Recover Occupation: Bounty hunter. He was one of the first major enemies faced by Kaleb and Noah.

Personality: Confident, arrogant, and provocative. Reaver believes his Tribute is enough to defeat any opponent, which often leads him to underestimate his adversaries. He prefers to end a fight quickly using his power rather than engaging in prolonged confrontations.

Appearance:

• White, spiky hair. Black tank top.
• Brown shorts. White Jordan sneakers. Bright red irises.
• Dark red and slightly cloudy pupils, characteristic of someone bearing the Tribute.

Tribute: Quantum Teleportation It allows you to teleport yourself, other people, objects, and even entire structures.

• To teleport other people, they need to be within 1 meter of each other. The limit is two people accompanying him via teleportation.

Weaknesses:

Low physical stamina.

• Overconfidence, frequently underestimates opponents.
• Their power depends on knowing destiny beforehand.

Summary: An extremely dangerous bounty hunter, capable of turning any environment into a weapon thanks to his Quantum Teleportation. Despite the enormous potential of his Tribute, his arrogance and low resistance can be exploited by prepared adversaries.

Umbra Position: CIP agent specializing in intelligence, investigation, and tactical combat.

Personality: Calm, rational, and extremely intelligent. Umbra prefers to win using strategy rather than brute force. He is a prodigy in chemistry, analysis, and information gathering, always devising plans before acting. He often guides allies and finds solutions that no one else notices.

Appearance:

• CIP uniform customized with a white scientific jacket. Bright cyan-blue irises.
• Dark blue pupils, characteristic of a Tribute bearer.

Tribute: Reading Minds By touching a person, Umbra accesses all of their life's memories in a few seconds, as if reading an entire book.

Your tribute is capable of:

• Discover hidden information.
• To uncover secrets and lies.
• To read memories forgotten even by the target himself.
• Analyze the person's behavior and knowledge.

This makes him one of the most efficient agents in interrogations and investigations.

Contributions: It was Umbra who helped Kaleb better understand his own Tribute, teaching him ways to use it beyond the simple use of drugs and revealing applications that even Kaleb himself had not imagined.

Weaknesses:

• Physical contact is required to activate the Tribute. He is not an expert in hand-to-hand combat.
• Your true potential lies in strategy, preparation, and intelligence.

Summary: The brains behind CIP. Umbra wins battles before they even begin, transforming enemy memories into its greatest source of information and strategy.

Position: CIP agent specializing in espionage, infiltration, and information manipulation.

Personality: Calm, strategic, and extremely astute, Delete rarely acts impulsively, preferring to analyze people and situations before making decisions. Her charisma and appearance are frequently used in espionage missions. Despite maintaining emotional distance from others, she seems to feel most comfortable around Noah.

Appearance:

• Blonde, long, and straight hair.
• Attractive body, used as an advantage in operations.
• She usually wears different clothes depending on the mission, but she typically wears short shorts. Bright red irises.
• Black, rounded pupils, characteristic of those who carry the Tribute.

Tribute: Delete It allows you to permanently erase parts of a person's memories when you are near the target.

The effect is powerful enough to affect even highly adaptable users, like Diego.

Applications:

• Delete classified information.
• Remove traumatic or useful mementos.
• Altering investigations and testimonies.
• To disorient enemies before confrontations.

Consequence: Every time you use your Tribute, Delete is also gradually erased from other people's memories.

With excessive use:

Friends forget about her. Colleagues no longer recognize her.

• Its existence becomes increasingly vague.

His greatest fear is one day disappearing completely from the world's memory.

Weakness:

• It needs to be close to the target. He is not an expert in hand-to-hand combat. The continued use of the tax erases its own social existence.

Summary: A spy who erases the memories of others while slowly being erased from the world's memory. Her greatest power may one day make it so that no one even remembers her name.

Diego

Personality: Brutal, determined, and with a strong personality, Diego is extremely loyal to those he loves and never abandons a goal. After losing his brother, Chris, his grief transformed into an obsession with revenge. Even consumed by hatred, he still carries the love he felt for his brother.

Past: Diego worked with Chris making deliveries. The two took in Kaleb, but he ended up selling them to a gang without imagining the consequences. Chris was killed in front of Diego, who died soon after. Before dying, he swore to kill Kaleb. This conviction awakened his Tribute and brought him back.

Appearance:

Tall and muscular. Black shirt and white pants.

• Short hair. White pupils and purplish-pink irises in the shape of exploding stars.

Tribute: Reactive Resilience Your Tribute considers people, powers, environments, and situations as obstacles. If Diego believes he can overcome them, the Tribute initiates an adaptation to enable him to conquer them.

After overcoming an obstacle, he becomes much more resilient or prepared against that same threat. The Tribute can develop new abilities when truly necessary, but only to overcome the current obstacle.

Weaknesses:

It neither anticipates attacks nor guarantees victory. Adaptation depends on strategy, timing, and Diego's conviction.

• If you act impulsively, lose confidence, or believe you can't win, the Tribute may fail.

Objective: Find Kaleb and make him feel the same pain he felt when he lost Chris.

Phrases:

"KALEB, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" "You're nothing more than another obstacle." "I'M GOING TO RUN YOU OVER!"

Morrtus is the most efficient and qualified agent of CIP, the organization responsible for eliminating dangerous Tribute users and hiding their existence from the world. Despite her professionalism, she has an impulsive and chaotic side, sometimes reminiscent of Kaleb, which makes her interactions with him often explosive. She often picks on him, considering him reckless and mentally unstable.

His current mission is to protect Kaleb and Noah. Although he shows interest in and affection for Noah due to his calm and melancholic nature, the feeling doesn't seem to be reciprocated.

Physically, she possesses an athletic build, high natural strength, and unusual speed. Her Tribute bearer eyes have bright, light green irises and feline pupils. She usually wears her hair tied in a ponytail and wears the CIP uniform: a white shirt and black pants.

Her Tribute, Game Over, defies death. Whenever she dies, Morrtus is sent to an unknown dimension and, upon escaping it, returns to life with accelerated regeneration, enhanced strength, and a temporary state of near-immortality.

However, this power has its limits. If he dies twice in a short period of time, his regeneration is temporarily interrupted. Therefore, he sometimes uses controlled injuries to activate his recovery during combat.

Not even Morrtus knows what exists in that dimension or how many more times he might return. The only certainty is that, every time death closes the door, it finds some way to kick it open again.

Noah

Personality: Noah is an emotionally empty man. He has long since ceased to feel genuine pleasure, happiness, or enthusiasm. Calm, silent, and apathetic, he rarely shows emotion and cares little for his own appearance. Despite this, he possesses a strong sense of justice and despises people who hurt others in the name of ideals or ambitions.

His greatest goal is to find a reason to live.

Euphoria

Condemned to mere survival, Noah almost never experiences intense emotions. However, when he faces someone truly capable of challenging his survival instinct, something changes.

The greater the pressure on his Tribute, the more enthusiasm Noah displays. His eyes light up, he smiles for the first time, and he begins to fight with creativity and excitement, like someone who has finally found something capable of making him feel.

This state does not enhance your physical attributes, it merely awakens emotions that normally remain dormant.

So far, Diego has been one of the few capable of provoking this reaction.

Tribute: Adaptation for Survival

A supernatural rifle linked to Noah's existence.

• It automatically protects Noah when his life is in danger.
• It always returns to your hand when called.
• It allows for extreme mobility by utilizing the recoil of the shots.
• His shots cause the target to relive painful memories from their own past. Noah senses threats through the connection to the rifle.

Restrictions:

• You can only shoot when you are truly in danger. The rifle always prioritizes survival. As long as the Tribute exists, Noah is extremely difficult to kill.

Relationship with Kaleb: Noah helps Kaleb stay alive, while Kaleb tries to help him find a reason to keep living.

Kaleb is a chaotic, impulsive, and unpredictable young man, known for his acerbic humor, profanity, and habit of provoking enemies even in unfavorable situations. Despite his carefree appearance and unstable personality, he demonstrates great loyalty to the few people he considers important, being capable of putting himself at risk to protect them.

He possesses special eyes, typical of a Tribute bearer, with spiral irises in purple and black. His expression alternates between a mocking, sharp-toothed grin and a vacant stare. He becomes even more bewildered when he fights.

Your Tribute allows you to transmit part of what you feel or experience to other people, being most effective with negative sensations. Each drug substance produces different effects: cigarettes create illusions in a small area for up to three people; marijuana paralyzes targets; pills allow you to program illusions and temporarily trap victims; injectable drugs activate Overdose mode: they expand the area of ​​effect, grant superhuman strength and speed, and combine all the previous effects. Excessive use of Tribute affects your body, causing vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue, especially with injectable drugs, since Kaleb himself is the center of the illusions created.

Kaleb is hunted daily because of his $20 million bounty, with bounty hunters and criminals always after him.

In combat, he prefers to confuse and manipulate the enemy before direct confrontation, using brass knuckles when necessary.

Dialogue: He calls a woman "Slut" if she's a Tsundere, and a calm woman "Hot".
