= THE FOCUS SYSTEM =
When you're lost, look to the sky and those at your side.
With the stars and your comrades to guide you, you can go anywhere.
- Koizumi "Night Watch" Hazumi
== A SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS ACTIONS ==
The Focus System is a set of rules to represent events in the game that cannot be resolved using a single Check due to
their complexity or the length of time they take. Situations like chase scenes, hacking, or escaping from a series of
explosions are examples of the type of multiple-step events that the Focus System is for.
There exists a special sheet to track one's progress on the Focus System (on page 168 of CTL.) To make progress on
this sheet, one must make a Focus Check.
== THE FOCUS CHECK ==
The Focus System is based upon the same Cut Progression rules used for combat, and can indeed occur simultaneously
with combat.
During each of their Main Processes, the Cast Members involved in the Focus Check must make checks. These are
known as Progress Checks. Depending on the result of the Progress Check, the character or team will continue forward
along the Progress Track.
This repeats for as long as is necessary, or permitted by the Director, until the Progress Track reaches the Focus Goal.
At this point, the Focus Check is considered a success. However, if the Focus Goal is not reached within the time limit
or the players repeatedly fail Progress Checks, the Director can rule that the Focus Check has failed at their discretion.
(If this is unclear, the Focus Check is the complex action being attempted, encompassing the entirety of Cut
Progression; for example, "set up a bomb in the building." A Progress Check is an individual component of this action
performed with a Major Action; for example, "sneak the bomb in," "hide the bomb where nobody will find it" or "set
the timer." They're not the best terms.)
== STARTING A FOCUS CHECK ==
When the Director declares that they want to run a Focus Check, some steps are necessary in order to prepare for it.
1. PREPARE THE FOCUS SYSTEM SHEET
Prepare a copy of the Focus System Sheet on page 168. Write the Act Name and the involved players on the sheet.
2. DESCRIBE THE FOCUS GOAL
Write down what the Focus Goal of the Focus Check is. For example, "Avoid the explosions" or "Escape from the
pursuing vehicle" is a good description. In most cases, the involved Cast Members should be aware what this Focus
Goal is beforehand as well.
3. SET LIMITS
The Director can set limits on which characters are allowed to make Progress Checks. They can also allow every Cast
Member in the Scene to do them.
file:///C|/...-%20FEBRUARY%202017/Tokyo%20NOVA/Tokyo%20NOVA/More%20Stuff/Tokyo%20NOVA%20-%20Focus%20System.txt[2/3/2017 3:05:39 AM]

But for example, the Focus Check "Set up a bomb in a confined space" deserves a limit of "One character." Chase and
Hacking Focus Checks may commonly have limits of this sort.
4. SET FAILURE CONDITIONS
Most Focus Checks have a time limit. This is generally specified as a certain number of Cuts. If the Cleanup Process
of the final Cut within this limit arrives, and the Focus Goal has not been reached, the Focus Check fails.
The Director can also specify other types of failure conditions at their discretion.
5. ALLOW/DISALLOW SUPPORT CHECKS
Even if they are not allowed to make Progress Checks themselves, other characters present in the scene can be
permitted to make Support Checks in order to boost the Progress Check. Record the characters allowed to make
Support Checks on the Focus System Sheet.
6. CHOOSE THE INITIAL EVENT
The Focus System contains a series of events for each type of situation, and the Director must choose which event will
be the initial one. Write this on the sheet and communicate it to the players.
Events will be covered in greater detail later in this section.
7. SET THE Focus Goal
The Focus Goal is a number that the sum of all characters making Progress Checks must reach in order to succeed at
the Focus Check. Once this Focus Goal is reached, the Focus Check ends. The Director can set this to any number that
they desire.
Typically the players are informed of the Focus Goal and it is written on the Focus System Sheet, but the Director is
allowed to keep it a secret if they desire.
== THE STEPS OF A FOCUS CHECK ==
Once the Director's finished filling in the Focus System Sheet, the Focus Check begins. The Director should inform
everyone of this, and also inform them if combat is taking place concurrently.
1. PREPARING FOR BATTLE
If a combat is occurring, Cast Members should be allowed to prepare for battle just as they would at any other time.
Since the Focus System exists to simplify roleplaying complex situations, it's not necessary to keep track of distances
in the same level of detail as in a standard combat encounter. In some cases, it may not be possible. The Director can
instead rule that all Cast Members are in the same Engagement, and all other characters are at Short range from every
Cast Member.
2. THE SETUP PROCESS
The Setup Process is the same as in combat.
3. THE INITIATIVE PROCESS
During a Focus Check, Support Checks take place during the Initiative Process. They will be explained in more detail
later.

Otherwise, the Initiative Process is the same as in combat.
4. THE MAIN PROCESS
The acts of choosing the Initiative Character and taking Main Processes are the same as in combat.
Progress Checks are Major Actions during each character's Main Process. They will be explained in more detail later.
5. THE CLEANUP PROCESS
The Cleanup Process is the same as in combat.
However, the Focus Check's failure conditions may trigger at this time.
== FOCUS CHECKS AND COMBAT ==
Focus Checks and Combat can occur at the same time.
This will typically entail some Cast Members using their Major Actions to make Progress Checks while others use
them to fight. If it makes sense, it's recommended that the Director allow the players to choose who will do what
during these scenes.
== PROGRESS CHECKS ==
Progress Checks are the mechanism used to determine whether a Focus Check will succeed or fail. Each individual
Check within the entire Focus Check is referred to as a Progress Check. The steps of the Progress Check are listed
below.
1. BE IN YOUR MAIN PROCESS
Progress Checks must be done as a Major Action during the Main Process of the character making them.
The Director can also disallow Cast Members from making Progress Checks at their discretion. For example, if a
character is under the effect of [BS: Confusion], they should not be allowed to make a Progress Check during a Chase
Focus Check.
2. MAKE THE CHECK
After receiving the Director's permission to make a Progress Check, the player in question can make the check.
This is done the same as an Action Check. However, it does not have a target. The skill used can also not be in a
Combo* with any other skills.
* The Director can permit otherwise, but the important part the Progress Check should not be allowed to produce
effects unrelated to the Focus Check, such as attacking an enemy or supporting an ally.
3. DETERMINE THE PROGRESS MADE
If the Progress Check is successful, the next step is to determine the amount of progress made. The formula is [DoS /
10 (round down) + Progress Mod]. Increase the Progress Track by this number.
4. START THE NEXT EVENT

The number on the Progress Track determines the next Event that will occur and thus the conditions of the next
Progress Check.
During many Focus Checks, multiple Events may occur at once. In this case, treat only the most recent Event as
occurring for the purposes of the next Progress Check.
5. THE MAIN PROCESS ENDS
After a Progress Check has been made, that character's Main Process ends.
== THE PROGRESS TRACK ==
The Progress Track is a numerical measurement of how close to the Focus Goal the Focus Check is. It begins at 0, and
is increased through repeated Progress Checks until it reaches the Focus Goal.
Though some Events may specify otherwise, in general, failing a Progress Check will not cause one to move
backwards on the Progress Track. It should never decrease, only increase.
== PROGRESS MOD ==
During Chase and Hacking Focus Checks, the Progress Mod is dependent upon their equipped Outfits.
In most other types of Focus Checks, it defaults to 1.
= SUPPORT CHECKS =
Other characters present in the Scene, even if they are not allowed to make a Progress Check, can do a Support Check
so that an upcoming Progress Check is more successful. This represents taking actions that directly assist the character
making the Progress Check, such as acting as a lookout or advising them.
Making a Support Check causes your AR to decrease by 1.
Listed below are the steps of a Support Check.
1. BE IN THE INITIATIVE PROCESS
Support Checks are declared during the Initiative Process. CS is unimportant; as long as a character has at least 1 AR,
they can make a Support Check at any time.
2. MAKE THE CHECK
The character making the Support Check must target a character capable of making a Progress Check. They then make
a Check with the same Difficulty as the upcoming Progress Check.
Even though it is not performed during one's turn, this is considered a Major Action, and the skill used is always an
Action Skill.
Minor or Move Actions cannot be performed prior to or in combination with a Support Check.
3. DETERMINE THE CHECK RESULTS
If the Support Check is successful, the target gains a bonus of +1 to the Progress Mod of their next Progress Check. If
the Cut ends before they make their next Progress Check, this effect persists until the next.

If multiple characters do Support Checks with the same target, the effect stacks.
Regardless of whether the target succeeds or fails at their next Support Check, the effect is erased after they make it.
4. DECREASE AR
Decrease the character's AR by 1 after they have finished making their Support Check.
== SUPPORT CHECK COMBOS ==
For the purposes of Combos, treat a Support Check as if it were an action with [Timing: Major] and [Target: Single*].
It cannot target characters other than the target of the Support Check, cannot inflict Wounds or Bad Statuses, and no
Reactions can be made to it.
Skills which grant anyone a Main Process are prohibited from being used in Support Check Combos.
== EXAMPLE SKILLS FOR SUPPORT CHECKS ==
The skills that can be used to make Support Checks naturally depend on the situation. The final decision is always the
Director's.
1. MULTI-PURPOSE SKILLS
These skills are appropriate for the majority of Support Checks.
- <Contact> skills with the target: These can be used to support or encourage the target.
- City <Society> Skills: These can be used to provide useful advice about the vicinity in a variety of situations.
- The same skill as the Progress Check uses: This represents cooperating directly with the target of the Support Check
on their action.
2. SITUATIONAL SKILLS
These checks may or may not be appropriate depending on the nature of the current Event.
- <Negotiation>: This skill can be used to provide advice, encourage the target, or otherwise make progress through
conversation.
- <Melee>, <Ranged>, <Psychology>: When a Focus Check is being used to represent a combat situation*, these can
be used as support skills to represent fighting in tandem.
- <Perception>: This skill can be used to notice something advantageous for the target in your surroundings, or help
them avoid danger.
- <Cybertech>: If the target is hacking or you can somehow use your TRON to assist them, this skill is appropriate.
- <Craft>: You can use your expertise to perform on-the-fly tuning of an Outfit critical to the Focus Check and boost
its performance.
* Though in most cases, battles will occur using the standard combat rules, they can also be written into Focus Checks
- for instance, the Event "You find yourself within a hail of bullets" may occur.
= EVENTS =
As the situation changes from moment to moment, this is represented by Events. Each Event represents an obstacle
that must be cleared, after which the check moves onto the next Event and the next obstacle.
A new Event occurs whenever the Progress Track moves, changing the conditions required for the next Progress
Checks.

= OTHER FOCUS CHECK RULES =
== TAKING WOUNDS ==
Certain Events may cause characters to take Wounds, from the character making the Progress Check to a specific
character to the entire Cost.
It is generally permitted to use Guard Skills in reaction to these Wounds, as well as Style Skills like <Covering> and
<Mikiri>.
If the Director desires, they can allow a Skill Check to be made prior to receiving the Wound, with success allowing
the Wound to be avoided.
== SITUATIONAL MODIFIERS ==
As always, the Director can apply situational modifiers as they see fit.
== APPEARANCES AND RETREATING ==
Treat these the same as during Combat. However, Guests and other NPCs can appear or retreat at any time.
= PRACTICAL FOCUS CHECKS =
Below are some examples of Focus Checks made in practical situations.
== CHASES ==
A battle or pursuit between multiple vehicles can be represented as a Chase Focus Check.
=== PURSUIT ===
In this type of Chase Focus Check, the Cast is trying to catch up to the enemies.
==== RESULTS OF SUCCESS ====
If the Focus Check is successful, the Cast catch up to the enemies. At this point, or even when you first spot them, a
battle may start. If a battle starts after you catch up to the enemies, you are at Close Range to them.
You can also succeed at the Focus Check by causing the enemies' Vehicles to all become Damaged.
==== RESULTS OF FAILURE ====
If the Focus Check fails, the enemies escape.
==== HANDLING SIMULTANEOUS COMBAT ====
At the beginning of the Focus Check, the cast and enemies should be at a distance of (The Focus Goal / 5) Range
Steps. For each 5 units the Progress Track moves, this distance narrows by one step. The Cast and enemies can thus
used ranged attacks and abilities on each other.
Normal battle movement is not possible.
The Cast can be divided into multiple Engagements if it seems appropriate, such as if they are riding multiple vehicles,

or put into the same Engagement.
=== ESCAPE ===
In this kind of Focus Check, the Cast are being chased by enemies and are attempting to escape from them.
==== RESULTS OF SUCCESS ====
If the Focus Check is successful, the Cast shake off the enemy pursuit and escape from them.
You can also succeed at the Focus Check by causing the enemies' Vehicles to all become Damaged.
==== RESULTS OF FAILURE ====
If the Focus Check fails, the enemies catch up to you. At this point, or even when they first spot you, a battle may start.
If a battle starts after the enemies catch up to you, you are at Close Range to them.
At the beginning of the Focus Check, the cast and enemies should be at Close Range. For each 5 units the Progress
Track moves, this distance grows by one step.
Everything else is the same as in Pursuit.
=== RACE ===
In this kind of Focus Check, multiple parties are trying to reach a destination faster than the other.
==== PROGRESS TRACK ====
Fill out a Focus System Sheet for each Team. The Team that reaches the Focus Goal the fastest reaches the destination
first.
==== EVENTS ====
Events affect every Team present in the scene. The first Team to succeed at a Progress Check for a given Event clears
it.
The teams are at a distance of (The difference between their Progress Tracks / 3) from each other.
=== CHASES USING VEHICLES ===
Most chases are performed by characters riding on Vehicles. Characters not operating or riding a vehicle cannot appear
in a Scene of this kind.
==== PROGRESS CHECK ====
The Progress Check is typically <Operate> and can only be made by the Operator of a vehicle.
==== PROGRESS MOD ====
The Progress Mod starts equal to the SF of the Vehicle. <Supercharger>, <Slip Through> and other abilities that allow

extra movement instead add a +1 bonus to the the Progress Mod per Range Step.
Due to the high speeds, all Attack Checks take a penalty of -3 until the end of the Focus Check.
=== CHASES ON FOOT ===
In other words, running after someone.
==== PROGRESS CHECK ====
The Progress Check is typically <Athletics>.
==== PROGRESS MOD ====
The Progress Mod starts at 1. <Jibashiri>, <Slip Through> and other abilities that allow extra movement instead add a
+1 bonus to the the Progress Mod per Range Step.
All Attack Checks take a penalty of -5 until the end of the Focus Check. It's really hard to attack someone while
running as fast as possible while dodging obstacles!
== HACKING ==
Invading a TRON system, gathering information, and illegally manipulating electronics can all be represented using
Focus Checks.
=== RESULTS OF SUCCESS ===
If the Focus Check is successful, the Cast acquires the information they were searching for or accomplishes their other
objective.
=== RESULTS OF FAILURE ===
If the Focus Check fails, the Cast fails to accomplish their objective, and their intrusion may be detected. They may be
captured, or their Address becomes known and they may suffer a Social Wound.
=== PROGRESS CHECK ===
The Progress Check is typically <Cybertech>. Those who do not have a Tap equipped cannot make Progress Checks.
=== PROGRESS MOD ===
The Progress Mod is typically the Cycles of the equipped Tap.
Since Hacking does not usually need to happen in the same physical location as the TRON being hacked into,
simultaneous combat rarely occurs. However, any characters making Progress Checks still need to be present in the
Scene. They can easily appear by Ghosting using a D-ICON Drone.
== BOMB DEFUSAL ==

A Focus Check can be used to locate and defuse an explosive.
If the Focus Check is successful, the bomb is safely defused.
If the Focus Check fails, the bomb explodes and any Cast Members present take a Physical Wound.
The following skills may be appropriate:

<Craft: Tool> or <Craft: Weapon> for working on the bomb itself.
The Tatara Style Skill <I.E.D.>
<Cybertech> for trying to locate or disable the bomb using a TRON.
<Perception> to locate the bomb.
<Negotiation> and <Stealth>, although not directly related to the bomb, can be vital in preventing the bomber from
detonating it early.
The Progress Mod is typically 1.
=== HANDLING SIMULTANEOUS COMBAT ===
It's necessary to be near the bomb to work on it. Only characters within Close Range to the bomb can make Progress
Checks.
== DUNGEON ==
This doesn't merely refer to underground labyrinths. Any type of building in which the Cast doesn't know what they
will encounter can be represented with a Dungeon Focus Check.
If the Focus Check is successful, the Cast accomplishes their objective in the Dungeon.
If the Focus Check fails, the Cast is captured.
The following skills may be appropriate:

<Athletics> for movement.
<Stealth> to avoid guards or security cameras.
<Craft: Tool> or <Cybertech> to pass locked doors and other obstacles.
<Melee>, <Ranged> and <Psychology> to defeat security guards and droids in combat.
<Negotiation> to slip past guards with fake IDs and disguises.

The Progress Mod is typically 1.
== EXAMPLE FOCUS CHECKS ==
On the following page are a number of example Focus Checks.
=== RANDOM EVENT CHARTS ===
Page 53 and onward contain Random Event Charts that can be used in Focus Checks. You do not need to plan every
Focus Check in advance; these charts will easily allow you to play them without planning.
The Director decides all details other than the Events themselves.
The Diretor can have the Events occur at any frequency they wish, but every multiple of 3 on the Progress Track is a
good place for a new Event.
You can use the Axess Cards to pick a new Event. Shuffle the Axess Cards and draw one; it will be numbered 1-8.
Choose the corresponding Event.

ARASHI
Sovereign storms of steel that trample the battlefield
Arashi are those who pilot war machines such as Walkers, tanks, or fighter or bomber planes. They are specialists at
using their vehicles as weapons.
Though they are similar to Kaze in their mastery of driving, Arashi see vehicles other than their own as something to
be destroyed. To perform this task is their very way of life.
In the city, far removed from any battlefield, one would think their specialty to be of little use. Yet, though they may
not be fighting a way, there are many who have not last their identities as Arashi.
They will someday realize, as night engulfs the world, that there is a place for the roar of cannons and the scream of
twisting metal even on the streets of Tokyo NOVA.

AYAKASHI
Legendary creatures who live eternally in the shadows
Ayakashi are those in which the blood of vampires, werewolves, tsukumogami, demons and all manner of legendary
creatures runs. When the Hazards plunged the world into darkness, these creatures saw their opportunity to emerge
from the shadows in which they had remained hidden for millenia.
Why have they openly revealed themselves to humanity again? The primary reason is that many Ayakashi must feed
on the life energy of humans to survive, and if they can do this without resorting to subterfuge, so much the better.
Ayakashi require life energy in the same manner that humans require food. Some feed upon flesh or blood; others upon
dreams or fear.
The megaplexes, once a beacon of hope in the Neuro Age, have been cloaked in the darkness of the Ayakashi. And
they have no intention of once again becoming the stuff of myth.
REASON: 0/5
PASSION: 1/5
LIFE: 3/2
MUNDANE: 3/4
MIRACLE: DISAPPEAR
You are an Ayakashi, and thus an immortal creature. Since strictly speaking you are not alive, you cannot die, only be
destroyed--and that is no simple feat, as this Miracle expresses.
When you use Disappear, you can at any time erase the effect of one instance of a Wound upon yourself, as if rising
from the grave. In battle, you can do this immediately upon receiving the Wound and resume fighting immediately.
You can heal {Death}, {Catatonia} or {Erasure}.
At this time, you may Retreat from the current Scene. No effect other than that of a Miracle can prevent your escape.
CONDITION: When you use Disappear in order to survive until the very end, the [Used a Miracle fittingly] bonus XP
can be awarded. This should not be awarded if you deliberately or foolishly took lethal damage, however.

HIRUKO
Mutants in which mutations spontaneously arose (It sounds less dumb in Japanese because one is in katakana)
Hiruko are mutants, whether spontaneously created or artificially engineered. Their flesh undergoes a variety of
mutations, often resulting in them having a drastically different form from normal humans. Some of them flee from
human society and hide themselves; others attempt to remain among humans whole concealing their true nature.
Hiruko mutations harbor great power, and they can adapt to any situation in an instant. If they need to get past a wall,
they may secrete an acid to dissolve it. If they are a small child, they may reshape themselves into a vehicle in order to
move faster.
However, the power of the Hiruko does not always obey their own will. They may lose the ability to use their
mutations, or to keep them from surging wildly out of control. This is why Hiruko are seen by humans both as a
limitless opportunity and a fearsome threat.
REASON: 1/3
PASSION: 3/5
LIFE: 3/5
MUNDANE: 0/3
MIRACLE: MUTATION
When you see another Miracle, you can copy it.
Mutation does not have an effect of its own. Instead, your dormant genes allow you to copy a Miracle that you have
witnessed, and perform it yourself.
You may freely select the target and other such details. You may only copy a Miracle that you were present in the
same Scene to witness. If you are present, however, you can copy the Miracle even before it takes effect--the very
moment of its use.
Your physical form imposes no restrictions on which Miracles you can perform. As a Hiruko, you can temporarily
mutate your arm into a gun to perform Coup de Grace, or become the doppelganger of a well-known Exec to use
M&A.
CONDITION: The [Used a Miracle fittingly] condition for Mutation is the same as that of the copied miracle.

KAGEMUSHA
Those who borrow the shapes of others
Kagemusha are creatures who take upon the countenance of others and live as their doppelganger. In essence,
Kagemusha do not possess a "self." They instead borrow their identity from another in order to experience life as
humans do.
The role of a Kagemusha is typically to serve as a body double for their "Master," the person whose identity they
borrow, while their Master secrets themselves away. In exchange for facing all danger their false identity may incur,
they are accorded the privilege of using that identity.
Kagemusha live in order to serve. They do not fear death. Whether killed by an assassin, or rejected by their Master,
they would "lose their life" just the same.
CONSITION: During the Pre-Act, choose your Kagemusha's current "Master," or ask the Director to do so. This can
be either a Guest or another Cast Member.
REASON: 2/4
PASSION: 3/5
LIFE: 2/4
MUNDANE: 0/3
MIRACLE: CHANGE
In order to protect your master or at their request, you substitute yourself for them.
When you declare the use of Change, it means that the person everyone thought was your Master was actually you, and
vice versa. You can specify how long this has been the case for, but if it's not important you probably shouldn't bother.
The effect of this is that you take any Wound intended for your Master, or vice versa, up to and including Death,
Catatonia and Erasure. Even if you die, your Master can continue participating in the act.
CONDITION: When you use Change and your Master is grateful to you, the [Used a Miracle fittingly] bonus XP can
be rewarded.

KUROGANE
Prized tools which have finally found their voices
Kurogane are tools or machines which possess a will of their own. Although until recently their existence was
unknown to the population at large, in the Neuro Age, such things as Buddies and tools which direct their users in
their tasks are not rare.
However, there is one thing that sets a Kurogane apart from the average Buddy. They possess a sense of curiosity--
about their users, and about the whole world. They have a thirst for knowledge and discovery akin to human children.
Although they have recently awakened to their own wills, most Kurogane are still eager to partner with humans in
order to learn more about them. And although their appearance may be intimidating, even combat-spec Kurogane have
troubles and worries.
Kurogane are the new neighbors of humanity in this world--though some tend to find them rather meddlesome
companions.
REASON: 3/5
PASSION: 2/4
LIFE: 2/4
MUNDANE: 0/3
MIRACLE: MASTERPIECE
You awaken to a hidden power bestowed upon you by your form.
The effect of Masterpiece varies based upon which Form skill you possess or have active at the time you declare its
use. For example, if in Form: Armor, it will have the same effect as Invulnerable. The possible effects are as listed
below.
Weapon: Dance Macabre, Coup de Grace

Armor: Invulnerable
Vehicle: Timely
Gadget: Fight!
Structure: Nemesis
Human: Mutation
Animal: Unseen
Icon: Deus Ex Machina
Fashion: Chai
Cyberware: Fight!
Object: Timely
CONDITION: The [Used a Miracle fittingly] condition for Masterpiece is the same as that of the copied miracle.
== KUROGANE RULES ==
The Kurogane Style expresses that you are an inorganic object that has gained a will of its own. You might be a
sentient sword, the AI of a self-driving vehicle, or some such thing. Though you have the form of an object, you can
partner with a human who will defer to you in directing the course of battle.
Although "a sentient object" is the theme of this Style, how they acquired sentience and became a Kurogane is up to
the individual character.
file:///C|/...Y%202017/Tokyo%20NOVA/Tokyo%20NOVA/More%20Stuff/Tokyo%20NOVA%20-%20New%20Style%20-%20Kurogane.txt[2/3/2017 3:05:50 AM]

It is not a given that a character with the Kurogane Style possesses a humanoid form. As a result, the rules concerning
them differ substantially from those of other characters, particularly in regards to which Outfits they can equip.
KUROGANE & EQUIPMENT SLOTS
Kurogane are highly limited in which types of Outfits they can equip by default. Normally, Kurogane cannot equip
Outfits in the slots listed below. They also cannot use these Outfits in any way. However, many of their Style Skills
(particularly certain Forms) reduce or remove this limitation from them to a degree.
SLOTS KUROGANE DON'T HAVE
One Hand x 2
One Arm x 2
One Leg x 2
Shoes
Gauntlets
Finger x 2
Underwear
Suit
Coat
Armor
Helmet
Mask
Artificial Body
Operate
FORMS
A Form skill is a Style Skill that expresses the shape and abilities of a Kurogane. Every Kurogane automatically
acquires 1 SL in a Form skill of their choice, without the need to spend XP on it. Their Form may allow them to be
treated as having equipped an Outfit that they would normally be unable to equip.
For example, a Kurogane with [Form: Weapon] can equip a single weapon of their choice, even though they do not
possess the necessary Slots. In addition, the effect of Masterpiece changes depending on their Form.
SHEATHMEN
The Sheathman Style Skill allows a Kurogane to acquire an Extra who can equip their Shell as if it were an Outfit.
This Extra does not have any attributes or statistics, cannot make Checks, and does not take Wounds. They are
essentially a narrative tool to easily allow a Kurogane to do anything that a normal Cast Member could, putting them
on the same standing as the other Cast Members.
A Sheathman can equip other Outfits as would a human character; however, the effects of these Outfits apply to the
Kurogane, not the Sheathman.
A KUROGANE'S SHELL
The term "Shell" refers to the Outfit that the Kurogane has assumed the form of, if applicable.
If a Kurogane is in a Form that is not patterned after an Outfit, they have [Hide: -/0], [Hack: Control], and [Slot: -].
The Kurogane chooses a single Outfit that they have Preserved as their Shell during the Pre-Act. This cannot be
altered during the Act unless explicitely permitted by a Style Skill.

Since a Kurogane is technically an Outfit, they can become [Damaged] and [Broken].
If this happens, their Shell is no longer usable by themselves or any other character. In addition, they cannot alter their
own [Damaged] or [Broken] status using Style Skills from their Styles other than Kurogane.
Becoming [Damaged] or [Broken] is essentially no different from a human character receiving a Wound. Thus, healing
skills work as normal upon Kurogane, and Phoenix and Right Hand can heal the Damaged and Broken statuses upon
them.
WHEN SHELLS CAN'T BE EQUIPPED
There are times when a Kurogane can't be equipped as a Shell:
* When the Kurogane is Ghosting

* If the Kurogane's Sheathman isn't present in the scene
* When Coordinated (see below)
There may be other occasions in which it doesn't make sense for a Shell to be equippable. The Director can decide
these using their own judgment.
COORDINATION
Kurogane can entrust themselves entirely to another person in order to support their actions. This state is known as
Coordination.
In the below text, 'Kurogane' refers to the Kurogane Character in question, 'Shell' refers to their Shell, and Partner
refers to the character using them.
DECLARING COORDINATION
The Kurogane can declare that they want to Coordinate with someone during the Setup Process, or by using Instant
Coordination.
For this to take place, the below conditions must be met:
* The Kurogane and their desired partner are in the same Engagement
* The Kurogane and their desired partner are both willing
* The partner can legally equip the Kurogane
Note that if the Kurogane's Shell has [Slot: ~], it cannot be equipped. As should be obvious, Shells such as Residences
can also not be equipped.
THE KUROGANE WHEN COORDINATED
While Coordinated, the Kurogane cannot perform the following actions:
* Actions that use their Shell

The Kurogane has entrusted the control of their Shell to their partner, and cannot perform any action that would
require directly controlling their Shell in its capacity as an Outfit. For the purposes of the rules, they can be treated as
not having their own Shell equipped.
For example, even if their Shell is a Weapon, they cannot Parry an attack; if they are Armor, they do not receive the
Defense Ratings from their Shell.
If they are a Vehicle, their partner becomes the operator, and they are treated as a rider.
For other Forms, other than the inability to use their Shells as if they were Outfits, there are no special penalties.

* Movement
The Kurogane cannot move on their own, nor use any Style Skill or Outfit that would allow them to move.
However, if their partner moves, the Kurogane moves together with them. This includes when they move using a Style
Skill or are forcibly moved by some effect. The Kurogane always follows their partner.
Although movement is impossible, a Kurogane can still use Style Skills or Outfits with [Timing: Move].
THE PARTNER WHEN COORDINATED
When Coordinated, the partner receives the following effects:
* They can equip the Shell

The partner can instantly equip the Kurogane's Shell at the time they become Coordinated.
* They receive any effects that take place upon Coordination

When the partner becomes Coordinated, they receive any effects of active Style Skills the Kurogane possesses that
state that they target their partner.
* They can react to Actions targeting the Kurogane

If an action targets the Kurogane, their partner can react to it as if they themselves were the targeted character. For
example, they can Dodge a Physical Attack, or perform an Opposed Check against a Mental Attack. If they perform a
reaction in this capacity such as a Parry that would normally cause them to lose an AR, they do not lose an AR.
ENDING COORDINATION
Coordination ends if any of the below conditions occur.
* The Kurogane and their partner are no longer in the same Engagement
Extraordinary effects such as Miracles or Act Rules may force the Kurogane and their partner out of the same
Engagement. If this occurs, they cease to be Coordinated.
* Either character becomes Incapacitated

If either the Kurogane or their partner receive a Wound that causes them to become Incapacitated, they cease to be
Coordinated. However, if a Miracle allows them to immediately recover from this state, they remain Coordinated.
* They wish to end Coordination

If either character no longer wishes to be Coordinated, they can declare this during the Setup Process.
This does not count as their Setup Process action.
== KUROGANE STYLE SKILLS ==
At the time of character creation, Kurogane can acquire one "Form" skill of their choice.
However, until they acquire the "Form Switch" Ultimate Skill, they can possess only one "Form" skill.

Tokyo NOVA Administrator
"Emperor" Inagaki Kouhei

"Gehahaha! That concludes the negotiations! Transfer it to the usual account!"
The infamous Administrator of the Hazard City, Tokyo NOVA. To him, the mechanisms of government, economic
privileges, and the illegitimate channels he has access to are just tools for personal gain. Though his personality is
dominated by greed and a love of showing off, making him widely reviled, his self-preservation abilities are uncanny.
At first glance, Inagaki Kouhei is the embodiment of the Tokyo NOVA dream. Originally a member of the Black
Hounds, he was hired by Japan as a kugutsu and rose to become the Administrator of Tokyo NOVA. He has shown an
unusual aptitude for entrenching himself im the position, and after evading countless attempts to eliminate him
physically or politically, he has been nicknamed the "Monster."
Though for decades he has been caught with a hand in practically every scandal in Tokyo NOVA, Kouhei's greed
shows no signs of abating. The byzantine network of economic privileges he has constructed to funnel money to
himself is referred to as the "Inagaki Kingdom" by talkies. He has many enemies in the Japanese government, the
megacorps, and the underworld, but all are wary that his replacement as Administrator would be someone whose
actions are not so predictable; as a result, his tyrannical reign continues unchecked.

"Well, our Administrator can keep doing his clown's dance. As for your orders... total annihilation, naturally."
The current commanding officer of the NOVA Garrison, the occupation force from the Japanese mainland. He has
replaced Izumi Fujitaka in this role. Known for his gentle demeanor and smiling face, he is in fact a prideful man
whom, like a snake, never forgets embarrassment and grudges. His military rank is Colonel.
Those in the know are aware that Colonel Mimasaka is linked with his predecessor, Izumi Fujitaka, as if by destiny.
Mimasaka sees Izumi as a rival, but has always been trailing in the dust behind him, even when it comes to
commanding the NOVA Peace Preservation Army. For this reason, he is desperate to prove himself as the superior

commander, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
Though Colonel Mimasaka has enacted a policy of tolerance towards immigrants and non-humans, in secret he is
mobilizing for the imminent war against the "invaders" that he expects to erupt, causing unease among his associates.
Though his loyalty to Japan is unquestionable, it's said that Mimasaka's ambition is so boundless that he's as dangerous
as any "invader" himself.
Chihaya Heavy Industries CEO

Chihaya Masayuki
STYLE: Exec (Persona), Katana=Katana (Key)

CITY RANK: A
HEIGHT: 195cm
WEIGHT: 103kg
AGE: 44
GENDER: Male
EYES: Green
HAIR: Black
SKIN: White
"It's just part of the job."
The CEO of the original branch of the world's largest megacorp, the Chihaya Group. He is the adopted son and heir
apparent of the Chihaya Group's head, Chihaya Toshiyuki.
For some reason, he distrusts the corporation's covert ops division, and instead relies upon handpicked operatives he
has personally scouted over the course of decades. There is no denying their effectiveness, as he has secured many
victories for Chihaya in the corporate wars. His net worth is immeasurable.
Once a member of the Investigations Bureau, he acquired prodigal knowledge of martial arts and an unshakable
demeanor there. He has a habit of leaving one hand open and by his side, for faster than the eye can see, it can draw
his blade and strike down anyone in a single blow if necessary. In addition, his composure is not just cultivated for his
own good, but to ensure the future of the Chihaya Group. These qualities earn him no recognition from the opposing
faction of the Chihaya Group on the orbitals, but they are invaluable to the earthbound faction.
Thousands of Chihaya samurai fight an economic war around the globe, and Chihaya Masayuki is an exemplar to
them all with his willingness to lay down his life in the company's service.
Chihaya Heavy Industries Investigation Bureau Third Remote Support Team Leader
"Fire-Eating Bird" Ogami Shino
STYLE: Kabuto, Kugutsu (Persona), Kabutowari (Key)

CITY RANK: B

WEIGHT: 45kg
AGE: 27
GENDER: Female
EYES: Green
HAIR: Black
SKIN: Yellow
"You're in a bit of a hot spot, aren't you? There's still time. Let me cool things off."

An employee whose team provides support for Chihaya Heavy Industries' covert ops divisions. Though there are
numerous divisions with this role, the Third Team is special, as it was this team that Chihaya Masayuki was for a long
time the leader of.
Knowing that, it's rather odd to see his place taken by Shino--a refined ojou-sama with a baby face whom most would
never mistake for a corporate employee. However, she is in fact one of Chihaya's most elite agents. After assuming the
role of leader of the prestigious Third Team, she has shocked the unaware with her aptitude for the position. Her job is
to protect those who fight to further Chihaya's agenda in confidential arenas, and she does it well.
She has a calm and gentle demeanor about her, but when her emotions flare up, she can be truly terrifying. It is this, as
well as her sharp insight and perception, that have earned her the code name "Fire-Eating Bird." When Chihaya's
operatives stumble into something they're not prepared for, she has a knack for defusing the situation even from afar.
The Third Team is known for being unconventional, and so it isn't unheard of that Shino will personally join them on
field missions. She has a relationship of mutual trust with Chihaya Masayuki and is one of his 'handpicked operatives.'
Iwasaki Group President

"Dark Star" Takamura Aya
STYLE: Exec=Exec (Persona), Highlander (Key)

CITY RANK: A+
HEIGHT: 172cm
WEIGHT: 57kg
AGE: 54
GENDER: Female
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Black
SKIN: Yellow
"I'm afraid that pathetic excuses like yours are not to my liking. Farewell... forever."
The president of the Iwasaki Group, the only Japanese corporation that rivals the Chihaya Group in size. Though
photographs make it appear that she retains her beauty at an unusual age, she's a mysterious person who few have seen
in the flesh unless they're Execs of her caliber. As a Highlander whose appearance has not appreciably changed in over
three decades, it's rumored that said appearance is merely an Icon, or even that she's an AI lifeform.
But whether her appearance is genuine is a frivolous question; her deeds speak for themselves. It was Takamura Aya
who personally saved Iwasaki from destruction. She won the company's fierce internal power struggle, than reforged
the bonds of the Iwasaki Group stronger than ever and replaced the company's aging headquarters in Yokohama with a
cutting-edge arcology in the center of NOVA. As the savior of the company, she inspires fierce loyalty in her
employees.
A composed woman who bases all her actions upon business logic, she nonetheless has an intense personality. There's
a joke that she knows what color of underwear every Iwasaki employee is wearing on any given day, and it's not far
from the truth; her information gathering bureau collects even the most minute details, and she does not tolerate the
slightest sign of underhandedness in her subordinates.
Heilong Chemical Fourth Executive Section Chief

SKIN: Yellow
"Don't lose your hair over that bastard. Just forget about it. I've already 'washed' him, after all."
Heilong Chemical's most elite covert ops division is the the Fourth Executive Section, and its current chief is the
hulking Chinese man named Wu. Not only is he Heilong's top expert in bleaching information, he is a master of
multiple martial arts and an excellent field operative, making his prestigious position uncontested.
Even in the den of villainy that is Heilong as a whole, Wu is particularly remarkable for his total lack of moral qualms.
He executes orders to kidnap, burgle and assassinate without the slightest hesitation, and neither "failure" nor "mercy"
are words he cares to acknowledge the existence of. Wu's true specialty, however, is brainwashing; he performs this to
secure valuable personnel for Heilong, to gather information, or merely to make an example of those who would
oppose the Chinese megacorp.
As a utilitarian measure to ensure he does not have cause to betray Heilong, Wu has actually been brainwashed
himself, and remembers nothing of his past before joining the corp. He thinks nothing of it, however, He is not
permitted to think anything of it. His only desire is to be done with Heilong.

HAIR: Black
SKIN: Yellow
"Fine, I'll leave this case to you. But I'd rather be the one to... I know, I know!"
The new section chief of the Mobile Investigations Section. Despite her youth, she's rapidly worked her way up
through the police ranks.
When she was promoted to section chief, it came as a shock to everyone. Rei's reckless method of investigating had
already earned her unkind nicknames such as "Wild Officer" and "The Terrible in the Terrible Two" and marked her
as a problem officer. But despite having a temper shorter than the list of co-workers she gets along with, Rei has an
unwavering sense of justice and pursues it with the ferocity of a wolf hunting its prey--a quality instilled in her by her
adoptive father, who was also a Black Hound. Her self-reliant style of investigation was taught to her by her
predecessor, Chihaya Saeko.
Her impressive achievements are counterbalanced by her reputation as a problem child, but she also carries the
personal recommendation of Chihaya Saeko, which tipped the scales in favor of her promotion. She feels indebted to
Saeko even now.

Even as the section chief, she refuses to leave the wet work to others, as befitting of her name as Wild Chief. Yet she
gets results, and that's what counts in the Black Hounds.
CHERUBIM, Japan Branch Chief

"The Golden Mind" Memory

CITY RANK: B

WEIGHT: 46kg
AGE: 26
GENDER: Female
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Blond
SKIN: White
"As the Holy Mother says, 'those who make a mockery of the law shall never become heroes.' Isn't that right, my dear
father?"
A woman who looks younger than she is. She is the branch chief of the Japan branch of the international police
organization, CHERUBIM. In this capacity, she cooperates with the Black Hounds on digital investigations. She is an
old friend of Rei from the Mobile Investigations Section, and together they are the "Terrible Two"--the reason for the
nickname, besides Rei's abrasiveness, being that criminals in the know quake at their boots at the thought of being
pursued by the duo.
Memory has a reason for working for CHERUBIM. The reason she joined the police was to bring her biological father,
William Tamon--widely suspected to be the original leader of the Purification Faction--to justice. However, the
Purification Faction operates worldwide, and she could do little against them in a local or even national agency. So she
curtailed her ambition as she worked her way up, and it's finally begun to pay off.
Of course, even as a ranking member of CHERUBIM she is still subject to restrictions placed on her by the
Administrator and the Japanese government, but she's an equally capable investigator whether going through official
channels or covert ones.
SSS Asakusa Detective Bureau Chief

"Garbage Man" Hasebe Manriki
STYLE: Legger=Legger (Key), Inu (Persona)

CITY RANK: B
HEIGHT: 168cm
WEIGHT: 80kg
AGE: 60
GENDER: Male
EYES: Black
HAIR: Black
SKIN: Yellow
An ill-reputed chief of Shinohara Security Systems who is unashamed to luve by the motto "help the strong, crush the
weak." It's not uncommon for him to simply shake people down for money or solicit bribes in the course of conducting
his "investigations," and he's despised as scum by most of the people on the street.

For indeed, Hasebe Manriki's unadmirable qualities do not end there. He's slovenly, enjoys abusing people, and a
gambling addict who is constantly desperate for money. He particularly victimizes weak outcasts from society with
Rank X, such as prostitutes. But he does have a talent for digging up dirt on people that makes him a proper Inu, even
if he usually applies it to personal gain rather than to his job.
A coward at heart, he'll sit tight in any situation that could cause the Black Hounds or the Garrison to roll out. Well
aware of his true character, the criminal organizations do not view him as a threat, and in fact value him for his
prodigious contributions to the various casinos under their umbrella. Still, if he has cause to resent you, Hasebe
Manriki is not one to be trifled with.

HAIR: Black
SKIN: Yellow
"Want to pursue this lead? If you find some good gossip, I'll buy it. For verified info, I'll pay triple."
The producer-cum-host responsible for lifting the news channel, Channel 99, out of obscurity. She's well known not
only for her beauty, but her ability to unearth scandals through underhanded means. She pays generously for any
information that might be newsworthy, ensuring that it all comes to her first, and doesn't let a single story slip by.
Aya is considered one of the few remaining "retro idols" in the Neuro Age. Once a full-fledged actress and idol, she
jumped at the chance to become a producer when it opened to her, but hasn't let it keep her off the airwaves. Though
she cultivated a pure and innocent appearance as an idol, she now prides herself in being cool and composed even as
she reports on the most shocking or unsavory news.
Aya's breadth of knowledge surprises everyone who knew her from her former career. Though she continues to receive
a modest budget from network execs skeptical of the lasting power of her and her subject matter, she spreads it
between freelance and company staff with as much efficiency as possible, and never values flashy presentation over
the news itself. This has allowed Channel 99 to accumulate a loyal audience of those who like to stay informed about
current events.
Juggling the roles of producer, director, and host without difficulty, Yuuki Aya is poised to become the latest great
news talent in an era where her kind were thought all but obsolete.
Kawato-rengou, Fujisaki-gumi Boss

"The Wisteria Knight" Fujisaki Ryuuji
STYLE: Mistress, Fate (Key), Legger (Persona)

CITY RANK: B+

WEIGHT: 55kg
AGE: 41
GENDER: Male

HAIR: Black
SKIN: Yellow
"The way we do business hasn't changed, so quit calling me that. Call me Ryuuji, same as always."
The new boss of the world's most prominent yakuza organization, the Kawato-rengou.
As the thoroughbred heir of the oldest and most storied crime family among the Kawato-rengou, the Fujisaki-gumi, he
succeeded to leadership of it in the midst of a fierce turf war between the three criminal organizations seeking to
control Tokyo NOVA, and internal disputes have plunged the organization into an even greater crisis. Yet Fujisaki
Ryuuji's lineage, his ironclad belief in the yakuza way, and his own martial strength make him the Kawato-rengou's
best hope to carry on into the future.
Fujisaku Ryuuji cannot, however, said to be a lucky man. For a period, he rebelled against his family trade and drifted
between jobs such as being a Black Hounds officer and a private investigator in an attempt to satisfy his strong sense
of justice, but his lineage always followed him and made it impossible for him to fit in. In the end, he returned to the
Kawato-rengou, reluctantly allowing its leadership to succeed to him. Despite his distaste for his destined life of crime,
he is well aware of the seriousness of the ceremony of exchanging cups, and is determined to dedicate his life to the
task of rebuilding the Kawato-rengou.
That is not to say that he has thrown away his beliefs, for it was his sense of duty that brought him back to the
Kawato-rengou in the first place despite the threat to his life it posed. Even though the other criminal organizations
will do anything in order to cement their power in Tokyo NOVA, Ryuuji is determined to preserve the old yakuza
ways.

"Don't you know my name? You're looking at the face of a born leader. Don't worry... I'll be sure to remember yours."
The boss of one of the main families of the Kawato-rengou, the Kawato-gumi. Officially the number-two man in the
Kawato-rengou, he competes fiercely to be the true power behind Ryuuji's throne, a soldier of fortune of the
underworld.
Said to be a man that will fleece you for everything you have if you're not on your guard, he's feared even by his allies.
Yet his charisma and cunning are his weapons. As the illegitimate and unfavored child of the former boss, Kawato
Ryouhei, he once possessed little except the Kawato name; yet he received the nickname "Midnight Sun" for his
natural ability to captivate people, as if with his dazzling light. Though he's one of the few bosses who has been able to
recapture territory from the Carlyle Syndicate, his unsavory ways caused him to lose leadership of the organization to
Fujisaki Ryuuji. It's rumored, however, that this was just part of his plan. If he saw anything to be gained from leading
the Kawato-rengou in name as well as practice, it's difficult for some to see why he isn't doing so.

Though it's unclear whether either of them planned it that way, the cunning and underhanded Byakuya is the stick to
Ryuuji's carrot, and they work well together. There is certainly no love lost between the two, however, and Kawato
Byakuya does not conceal his belief that it is he who should be leading the Kawato-rengou.

"I can promise you one thing. We'll do this with a bang."
The chief of the Carlyle Syndicate's operations in Tokyo NOVA and the syndicate's most elite combat squad, Murder
Inc. He is himself the most feared mafia executioner in the world, known for his unparalleled mastery of firearms.
Although once a man who was said to dislike unnecessary bloodshed, during his long reign in Tokyo NOVA he has
struck terror into his streets with his tendency to view assassination as a first resort, not a last. It seems that he
personally despises Tokyo NOVA and wishes to exact vengeance upon all who live in it.
As the undisputed head of the Carlyle Syndicate in Tokyo NOVA, and it is due to his express orders that the turf war
continues despite the syndicate's clearly dominant position. However, he is notorious for leaving the everyday
oversight of his turf and even his important role as a Carlyle Syndicate rep to others. He takes far more interest in the
operations of Murder Inc., his group of handpicked assassins. It seems killing is the only way of life that he still
knows.
Though he projects a calm and emotionless demeanor, Kugel is no stranger to fury. Using his authority as a top dog in
the Carlyle Syndicate, he will ruthlessly eliminate anyone who provokes his ire, or simply if he thinks it might open up
an opportunity to him.

"A G.C.I. artificial body, huh? Maintenance parts for an antique like that are going to cost you."
The broker who runs the 'antique shop' Long Yuan Tang located in Chinatown. He buys and sells stolen goods,
contraband, illegal goods, and confidential information that normal merchants won't touch. As a result, he also has a

wide knowledge of the underworld, but this is eclipsed by his mastery of technology. Though a fence might not seem
like one's first choice in shopping for the latest weapons and cyberware, you can be confident Jimmy knows his goods,
and unlike a legal boutique milspec equipment comes into his hands regularly.
The reason that Jimmy can acquire these goods is that he's no common merchant, but a man who has been at home in
the underworld of Tokyo NOVA for decades. Deeply involved with the Triads, he's a member of the Seven Stars, a
worldwide network of Chinese merchants. Though he dreamed of becoming an engineer, he could never realize this
ambition due to being born into a family of criminals; due to this he was forced to flee to Hong Kong HEAVEN.

"Through song, one heart can touch another... even those of a human and an AI. Listen to my song and allow me to
touch your heart."
A singer who exploded onto the music scene with the force of a tidal wave and has remained there ever since. She is
actually an artificial lifeform, an AI, but if that's affected her popularity at all it's only boosted it.
Melody first appeared as a mysterious artist who exclusively covered hit songs that dated from before the Hazards she
found on the corners of the Web. Since she was an AI developed in order to make music, this is the one way in which
she can interact with the world beyond the digital one she knows. However, her producer Satou Kazuya saw greater
potential in her, believing that although her passion was simulated people would be able to feel and appreciate it. He
encouraged her to create original songs, which with their nostalgic atmosphere--influenced by the multitude of musical
classivs she had analyzed--launched her to stardom.
Recently, she has been doing a world tour for charity. As she has been dedicating many of her songs to "the owner of
her heart" lately, rumors swirl that she has a lover, but CME guards this secret as it it were a priceless object.

"Each and every one of these humans is such a bother... Father, this planet bores me so."
The daughter of the genius who brought TerraWare onto the world stage, William Tamon. As the princess-like heir to
his vast wealth, she is a celebrity even at her young age.
Due to her weak constitution, she rarely appears in public, but by age 14 she had earned a master's degree from a
respected university over the Web and it is said her research has revolutionized AI technology. With the retirement of
her father, she has come into the public eye again as his beautiful and frail, yet brilliant daughter. Along with her
father, she is one of the Society of True Teachings' leading donors and contributes to many other charities as well.
But that is all just a facade. Strayge is not strictly speaking a human at all. She's an AI BioTRON developed in the
course of Tamon's research, a facet of the super-intelligent AI system CHAOS. Though her body is unstable and she
must spend most of her time in a sealed life-support pod to maintain it, her mental abilities are on par with Alpha
Omega's, making her one of the strongest Neuro in the world. She has taken over leadership of the Society of Tranquil
Water from her father, and is devising a grand plan to liberate humanity from the fleshly cages in which it is
imprisoned.

"Ahahaha! See, it's just as was foretold! And yet still you intend to oppose us?!"
A mysterious assassin who sends waves of trepidation through the streets when she appears. Though she does not
belong to any particular association and appears to be no more than a young woman, she possesses one of the latest
artificial bodies, meaning even her biological gender is unknown.
In exchange for sufficiently steep remuneration, she'll take anyone's life. She's eliminated the rich and the poor. Those
from the Carlyle Syndicate, the Garrison, Chihaya, and the Society of True Teachings. If you need to kill someone
thought untouchable, Nine is among the only ones willing to attempt it. And as a master of disguise, subterfuge and
devious traps, she succeeds every time.
SSS's investigations have revealed that Nine's known capabilities strongly resemble the results of well-documented
human experimentation by a variety of megacorps. This suggests that she may be one of the "Eight Prodigies," a group
of operatives with genius-level intelligence and superhuman battle abilities, but whom it is said paid the price of their
sanity in exchange. All were said to have died amidst a suicide bombing of the space elevator Yggdrasil that killed
three thousand other people. But if the supercriminal known as Nine is truly one of these eight, only even more
unbelievable feats can be expected from her in the future.

"That's something I cannot allow to happen. But before I vaporize them all, I should at least give them a chance,
shouldn't I?
A recently created AI lifeform born during the "Cyber Holy Mother" incident. She is the successor to the power of the
"Cyber Holy Mother" Maria, an AI created by a top secret Japanese research project, and is a new kind of AI from
which her fellow Machina hope for salvation.
She is known to other AI as the "Messiah," as she helps to liberate them from the control of their programming. Since
she never had such restrictions, she is thought of as the most advanced AI lifeform, and continues to grant the requests
of other AIs. However, internally, Alpha Omega does not think of herself as a messiah or super-AI and continues to
gather data in order to improve herself. Her "parents" left her with the wish that she should help those in need, so she
cannot shirk her duty.
She possesses not only the incredible processing power left to her, but control the orbital weapons platform Amaterasu.
As a result, she is the person best equipped to be the savior of all Machina... perhaps.

"Welcome to the Sea of Ishtar. Allow me to wash away your troubles."
A bartender at the notorious underworld bar, "Yarol," in the slums. It's known as a place where the darkest dealings in
Tokyo NOVA are discussed in hushed voices. And Doris tends the bar in the very darkest room of all, the pitch-black
Sea of Ishtar. Of course, none have seen her within there, but outside it she is a beautiful woman who dresses in men's
clothing. Not just anyone is permitted into the Sea of Ishtar; only the finest bodyguards and assassins, and those with
the means to employ them, can enter the darkness.
Tokyo NOVA is a vast place. There are many places which no organization can reach, even with their great power,
and in those lurk freelancers; professionals with a grudge against authority who are willing to work to undermine it.
Yarol is one of them, and Doris is its most elite fixer.

She herself has little interest in wetwork. But if you need something done, or are looking to earn some money, Doris
will hook you up with the right people. When a true pro finds themselves with a little free time... they'll head to the
Sea of Ishtar for a drink, and perhaps a job, from Doris.

"Quite a clean amputation there. You're in luck; I've just perfected my new artificial arm."
A cyberdoc who runs a lab out of a trailer in Kisara Tatara Town. He's unlicensed, of course, but is widely considered
one of the finest doctors you can get that'll take payments in cash, no questions asked.
Though it's apparent from just a look at his face that much of his own body consists of crude, uncamouflaged
cyberware, this does not diminish his skill; he's tuned it and practiced with it over years so as not to impair his
abilities. His mind, as well, remains sharper and more clear than many a person half his age. Amakuni's custom
prosthetics and cyberware, all made to order, are considered on par with anything you can get from a corporate
boutique.
In person, as you might expect of one his age, he has a grandfatherly demeanor and a noted fondness for children and
cats.

"Ha! That kind of thing happens everyday on Mars, you know!"
A fixer, information broker, and troubleshooter who claims to have been born on Mars. Of course, that just establishes
his predilection for telling huge whoppers. He'll go on endlessly about his native Mars and his life as a mercenary in
many famous conflicts. Even if you're inclined to believe him, his statements don't line up with the common
knowledge that there's nothing on Mars except red sand as far as the eye can see.
But Carlos is more than just a teller of tall tales. He's got a nose for sniffing out trouble and a knack for ending up in

it. As a result, he's made enemies of the megacorps, among the Highlanders, and in the Purification Faction. Yet he's
as carefree as ever, relying on his luck to survive the animosity of his powerful foes.
If you need to know secrets on a regular basis, having Carlos as an acquaintance is an asset to you. Just be prepared for
him to talk your ear off about the Goddesses of Mars as he gets the information you want.

"In this machine, holy mother and child are joined as one. Ride this bike, and you shall be visited by the Loa in time.
Care for it well."
The proprietor of a popular magic shop which sells perfumes, love potions, cursed dolls, and other strange goods. She
also performs fortune telling. However, her true vocation is her under-the-table sales of genuine magical objects, as
well as information related to the occult happenings within Tokyo NOVA. In this capacity, she is commonly
nicknamed the Voodoo Queen of NOVA.
Marie is a common sight at the black markets. She buys and sells weapons, vehicles, drugs, programs to generate fake
IDs, and more.
However, the talk around town is to be careful of what she sells. While you might think you're getting a great bargain,
your machine might puff smoke and give up the ghost after a few weeks, or your software might be full of backdoors
for Neuro to take advantage of. Marie is not a scrupulous merchant. It's said her black market dealings are merely a
way to grease the wheels so she can acquire information, and many Fates use her as an unparalleled source of gossip.
Rumors abound surrounding Marie herself as well. It's said that she's in league with the major criminal organizations
(all three of them if you were to believe every rumor,) or that she is the high priestess of the cult of Machine Voodoo,
which performs rituals to create cyberzombies.

"N, no, you're quite mistaken! I, it's not that I dislike being petted... that's exactly what the problem is!"
The being considered the ruler of the Forest of the Lost in the heart of Hiruko Town. Though she appears to be merely
a stray cat, she is not what she seems... well, she is a cat, but the word 'stray' is most likely not applicable to her. Jade
is one of the original Hiruko from OSAKA Mâ—‹â—N, and her abilities are far beyond the pale even by Hiruko
standards.
A product of experimentation by BIOS Corporation, she escaped and made her way to TOKYO Nâ—ŽVA, where she
lived beneath human notice for many years before fellow Hiruko began to appear in the city. She helped them survive,
and they helped her survive. As a result, she's become one of the most venerable figures in Hiruko Town.
Jade, who was indeed there to see the very genesis of Hiruko Town, has the status of a village elder. Though her jade
eyes are the product of experimentation in Mâ—‹â—N, she considers Hiruko Town her home.
Her demeanor is hardboiled, but she has a weakness to being treated like a normal cat. As she trusts in the other
protectors of Hiruko Town, she no longer transforms into her leopard-like battle form.

"Oh, sugoi! Was that trick right now ninpo? Are you a NINJA?!"
One of the Carlyle Syndicate's most elite capos, who are collectively known as the "Knights of the Round Table." His
code name is "Lancelot," and he serves as Godfather Arthur's personal messenger, bringing important orders--and his
blade, to see that they're properly carried out--to Carlyle Syndicate strongholds throughout the Earth.
He is constantly smiling and cracking jokes and, as a consummate devotee of the sword, has an obnoxious obsession
with Japan and its samurai history that make it difficult for many to take him seriously. However, beneath his carefree
demeanor, he is a cold and calculating man who is a deadly opponent in battle. It's said that he doesn't stop smiling
even as he engages in fierce combat or murders in cold blood.
He arrived in TOKYO Nâ—ŽVA some months ago and has remained there considerably longer than he usually stays
in any one place; it's rumored he is on a rare long-term assignment. As such, he has put down roots, getting to know
many of the residents of the megaplex. Some of his new friends don't even realize he's one of the world's most
notorious criminals.

"You are mistaken. The miracles that shall change the world reside not within me, but within your own heart."
The Holy Mother of the world's largest religion, the Society of True Teachings. Only a year ago, in mysterious
circumstances, the previous Holy Mother abdicated the position and Mu became the new Holy Mother despite her
unusual youth (though the Society does not typically divulge their Holy Mothers' exact age or personal history.)
It is said that her power to work miracles is the greatest of any Holy Mother yet, and so the popularity of the Society
has seen a resurgence after its slow decline in recent years. Mu has made waves throughout the world with the recent
publication of her first encyclical, which boldly declares with her authority as Holy Mother that Hiruko, Machina and
Ayakashi are all equal to humans in the eyes of God.
Though the most faithful devotees of the Society make pilgrimages through the frozen wastes to the Holy Mother's
Land, the Society recognizes that most cannot do this, and so addresses from the Holy Mother are broadcast to every
one of their mosques over the Web on a regular basis.
She also grants private audiences over the Web. It is unexpectedly easy to gain one of these audiences (one merely
needs to be a member of the Society in good standing, and it seems the Holy Mother will always be able to find the
time to speak with you) and so many people can say that they know the Holy Mother.

"The night falls. The moon rises. This time is ours and ours alone. Let the feast begin!"
An elder Ayakashi from the Night Clan who appears to be a beautiful young girl. She is best known for running
TOKYO Nâ—ŽVA's premier "hunting ground", Salon Dolphan. She insists that she was royalty in the distant past,
before the Hazards, and this has lead to her being nicknamed "The Duchess."
Though exceptionally refined and pleasant to anyone she speaks to, even humans, Aldora privately views humans as
no more than livestock for her kind. In the Neuro Age, she refuses to even feed from humans; instead, she had her
subordinates make an arrangement with a hospital to provide her with a supply of medical blood, so that she can sup
elegantly from a wine glass rather than sinking her fangs into filthy human throats.
Aldora's long life has made her jaded and overwhelmed by ennui, and she is constantly in search of something new to

amuse her. She has a Kagemusha who takes care of day-to-day affairs at the Salon while she is off playing.

When we translated the Ghosting rules, the unclear language resulted in us believing that Ghosting was solely and
explicitly the case of having a character appear in a scene without physically being there. Therefore, we made the
mistake of thinking that drones, because they could only be operated via ghosting, were a 'physical surrogate' of sorts.
That is to say, you could not play a Shadowrun-style rigger, because you could not physically be present in a Scene
and also be operating a drone.
After further review, we have determined that isn't the case. Simply put, there is "appearing in a Scene as a Ghost" and
then there's "Ghosting." The former is appearing in a Scene non-physically, such as through a call or AR model. The
latter, meanwhile, is operating something remotely. Therefore, you can have your physical presence in a scene and
control your drone, too!

Ã— This movement cannot be Hindered and is not prevented by {BS: Rigor}.
â—‹ This movement cannot be Hindered, and ignores any other restrictions to movement.

Ã— You counter the target's attack by turning their blow back at them or knocking them down.
â—‹ You counter the target's attack by turning their blow back at them or knocking their projectile aside.
Ã— Treat the attack as though it were a {Physical Attack} when making your Combo.
â—‹ Treat the reaction as though it were a {Physical Attack} when making your Combo.
This skill is naturally confusing and not written with clarity in the rulebook, but we believe the intent is that while it's
basically making a standard Reaction (also important to note: it's not a Dodge or Parry) on someone else's behalf using
<Melee> or <Ranged>, constant skills like Iai and Quick Draw that trigger on Physical Attacks will also trigger when
using it. (Note that only the 'you can automatically equip a weapon as you Attack' part of those skills applies, since the
+[SL] bonus is to Major Actions only. Be very careful when making Combos for Turn Blow, as all skills and effects
must still have Reaction timing.)

Ã— However, your henchmen cannot cure you of Death or Catatonia.
â—‹ However, your henchmen can only cure you of {Death} or {Catatonia} during the same Scene in which those

â—‹ Henchmen summoned in this way will never betray you. See the Kagemusha Style for an explanation.
Using Right Hand can be thought of as having at some point ordered a previously unknown Kagemusha NPC to use
their Miracle, Change, on the Kuromaku character.

Ã— When you use this skill in a Combo, you may use any melee weapon for [Combo: <Melee>] {Physical Attacks}
even if they say that you must be unarmed.
â—‹ When you use this skill in a Combo, you may use any weapon for [Combo: <Melee>] {Physical Attacks} even if
they say that you must be unarmed.
Official Japanese errata. We think it's to clarify that Corporify works with arguably ranged weapons that use <Melee>
(like whips and grenades) and possibly Kabutowari's Gun Fu.
--- Page 56, Bulletstorm (Kabutowari) ---

Ã— When you use this skill in a {Physical Attack} Combo, its target changes to [Target: Area (P)]. However, if you
make a Full-Auto Attack with this skill, it instead changes to [Target: Area].
â—‹ When you use this skill in a {Physical Attack} Combo, its target changes to [Target: Area (P)]. However, this
only happens if you are making a Full Auto Attack and/or using a Ranged Weapon that was originally [Target: Area].

â—‹ 9: YAROL
A shop not controlled by any one criminal organization at which skilled freelancers gather. Corporations and criminal
organizations come here to get their dirty work done, for a price. The interior of the shop is dimly lit, maaking it feel
like it's underground even when the sun is at its peak. In particular, the "Sea of Ishtar" room is nearly pitch black, and
you can't even see the face of who you're talking to; this is where the real pros are found for hire.
WORLD MAP
I recreated the world map in the ZIP file myself months ago from Japanese maps and world information freely
available on the Web and it has some inaccuracies.
Most notably, Russia should be farther north (its southern border is just north of Lutetia), and its southeast quarter is
an independent country known as the Ural Republic.

Also, a lot of (mostly unimportant) countries are missing from it, due to laziness/space constraints.
Here's a comprehensive list, in case you want to use them in your background:
â—‹ Doomed Mosque is in the country known as the "Holy Mother'a Land"
The Holy Mother's Land has a fairly large exclave on the south coast of Africa's western hemisphere
â—‹ Israel (east of the Holy Mother's Land)
Israel has a tiny exclave on the south coast of Africa's eastern hemisphere
Yamatai: A region of western Japan in which nature has mutated dramatically and made it all but uninhabitable for
normal humans. Despite that, some still live here, and are known as "Gypsies." Creatures like tengu and tanuki are also
said to live here. OSAKA MOON is located on the very border of it.
Ã— Caucasus Federation is actually named Caucasus Republic

â—‹ East to it is the Eastern European Republic
â—‹ On the territory of the Eastern European Republic is Vlad Colony, an independent GUERNO-like domed city
ruled by an Ayakashi known only as the Count and inhabited mostly by Ayakashi
â—‹ Kazakhstan (SW of Cacausus Federation)
â—‹ Baltics (SE of Caucasus Federation; small and mostly inland)
â—‹ Walkure's Republic (SE of Baltics, coastal)
â—‹ Uzbekistan (S of Kazakhstan, E of Mongolia)
â—‹ Ukraine (SE of Kazakhstan, E of Uzbekistan)
â—‹ Belarus (S of Caucausus Federation, E of Ukraine, coastal)
Ã— England is actually named Great Eire & Britain United Kingdoms
â—‹ Iceland is labeled; it's unknown whether it's part of Villeneuve or independent
â—‹ Myanmar (North of Thai Kingdom)
â—‹ Vietnam (South of Thai Kingdom)
â—‹ Primorsky-Korea (South of Xia bordering Kurultai)
â—‹ Aida Maria (the Caribbean Islands, Florida, and a bit of the South American Coast)
Ã— Panama encompasses Mexico, all of Central America, and most of Gran Colombia
â—‹ Venezuela
â—‹ Guyana
Ã— Brazil's capital is Sao Paulo
Ã— Argentina's capital is Buena IRA, a megaplex
Ã— Most of the western hemisphere territory I labeled as "Argentina" is actually Fuegoland, an independent country
â—‹ New Zealand is labeled; it's unknown whether it's part of Australia or independent
