Here's more world background settings for people who don't mind reading a bit of spoilers, released by the author himself. I hope this will peak more readers' interest. Cuttlefish labeled everything below as NON-CRUCIAL INFORMATION. Wechat Post About World Settings Posted by Cuttlefish Prior to Book Release [Translated by Izendale (he/him)] [Peer Reviewed by Windvally] -NON ESSENTIAL SPOILER TO SOME OF THE WORLD SETTINGS- Cuttlefish: Well, considering how hard it is to come up with names how passionate everyone is at trying to sign up to contribute names for random characters, we're opening up this post to collect names. Don't worry if yours isn't shown, this post is only capable of showing 100 messages, bottom line: I'll take notes. In order to help you guys with creating characters and character names, here's some not too crucial, no major spoiler setting information. ------ Available Races: ------ 1. Humans: Options include members of big factions, civilians from big factions, wanderers living around wildland settlements. 2. Pseudo-Humans: Human survivors from being mutated by radiation and or infections, and their offsprings 3. The Heartless Ones: Also known as people who are affected by Beast Transformation Disease (Lycanthropy/Therianthropy), can also be called Ancestral Regression Disease. 4. Intelligent Robots: Mechanical Beings with varying degree of Artifical Intelligence. Some more terrifying than the others. 5.The Eternals: Humans who successfully uploaded their consciousness into robots. The technology to achieve such a feat is lost with the destruction of the old world. Only a few machines survived and they cannot be reverse-engineered. 6.Mutated Beasts: Mutated creatures of all kinds. They can more or less be called "monsters" by now, creation and naming are up to you guys' imagination. Use current existing animals as prototypes and work from there. 7.Bionic Intelligent Armor: Cuttlefish: These are actually more or less just "Equipments" with less powerful artificial intelligence built in, they are not exactly a type of "Race". I just want to put it here. 8.Exoskeleton Equipments: Cuttlefish: Ok this one isn't even sentient or has an AI, I'm just listing it here to make the list look bigger doge. ------ II. Available Classes: 1. The Awakened: Cuttlefish: No spoilers for now, but at the very least I can tell you they have some not too overpowered (Windvally: Like I would believe that) but entertaining abilities. 2. The Gene-Modded: Humans who have undergone any form of Genetic Modification Procedures, be it mature or unsafe variation of the technology. 3. The Cyborgs: Humans who have installed machine or electronic modifications. 4. The Chosen Ones: People who have undergone Genetic Modification Procedures and Gene Selection Processes using only mature genetic modification technologies. Usually resulting in certain capabilities or talents being accentuated, such as "Shooting Talent". ------ III. Available Professions: These are more like "Jobs" than "Classes", and thus they are not mutually exclusive. This means that an individual can be both an Awakened and a Ruin Hunter. 1. Profession - Ruin Hunters: Individuals who explore the ruins of old world cities scattered across the wilderness. Looting all sorts of resources and data. 2. Profession - Military Personnel 3. Profession - Scientists (i.e. Geothermal Researchers) 4. Profession - Smugglers 5. Profession - Black Market Merchant 6. Profession - Cuttlefish: The Believers (or Members) of all kinds of weird religions and Religious Orders: This would be considered as one of the crucial aspects of this novel. Thus I won't be spoiling anything further. 7. Profession - Wildland Raiders: Common part time job for ALL Wildland Wanderers. 8. Profession - Special Agent: Also called "Special Correspondent" or "Commissioners" dispatched from The Research Academy (can also be translated as The Research Institute). ------ Cuttlefish: Those aren't the exhausted list, you guys (fans) can base on those and use your imagination. As to name style, mostly eastern, but western names are also accepted, codenames/nicknames are fine, too, there really isn't a limit.
