PLOT

WEIRD IS COMING

SYSTEM

CURRENT UPDATES

• Due to the circumstances of the opening plot, the site will introduce THREE FACTIONS: government, gatekeepers, and civilians. Both the Government and the Gatekeepers have their own—usually contradicting—goals, objectives, and motivations. Players may choose the third faction for their character to explore their own motivations and plot but they will not gain access to faction-exclusive plots and features. As the plot progresses, civilian characters may eventually choose between the two or that there will be additional options.[break][break]
• Before, it is common to naturally obtain powers by crossing the Gates until they have become unstable and unpredictable. Nowadays, people resort to using KEYS—items made from materials found in the other dimensions that can be used to channel extra-dimensional energy to perform otherwordly abilities the scientists call WEIRD. Keys come in the various forms, from day-to-day items to combat weapons, allowing each and every item to be modified and to reflect its user. Since extra-dimensional energy differs from the realms they come from, the keys will channel distinct abilities depending on which dimension they are found.[break][break]
• The site's leveling system will be based on TALENTS, a combat mechanics that functions like a class system except that it does not limit a character to a single talent progression. Talents allow a character to base their Weird from it, determining its nature and power in battle. As talents rank up, the character is allowed to create and use more powerful Weird.

• The story is set in the CITY OF CERA, a place synonymous to glory and fame in the West Frontier. Cera is an image of burgeoning skylines against neon-colored night skies. It has been the haven for all socialites, personalities, influencers, artists, and the most elite section of society.[break][break]
• On its literal underground, the SEWERS serve as the gateway to Cug, otherwise known as the CERA UNDERGROUND: the refuge of everyone else. Cug preserves the image if what Cera was once—a provincial small town that depended on quarrying and logging to survive, except for the mines and forests that are replaced with junks and trashes from the Skyline (Cera upperground). Because of its closer connection with the earth, the first Gates to have existed in the city has been found in Cug.[break][break]
• In this world, there is no magic. However, people can control and alter realities if they are imbued with the energy of other dimensions. WALKERS, as they are called, are individuals who have crossed dimensions back and forth and gained supernatural abilities. These powers vary from what dimension they have crossed, and a person can only know what powers they gained once they got out of it. These dimensional energies exhaust in time but individuals who have KEYS can always channel dimensional energies and utilize them.[break][break]
• The GATEKEEPERS' GUILD is a secret organization that has predated even the City of Cera itself. They are tasked to locate the existence of the Gates and prevent humanity from exploiting its existence. Their objective is to recruit fellow walkers into their group and teach them the ways of the Gatekeepers. In the advent of the Blockade Mandate, the Gatekeepers have been in full swing in finding all other walkers to protect them imminent dangers and threats.[break][break]
• It is no surprise among the members of the government that Cera is locating all existing Gates and experimenting on opening new ones. The public does not know this, and those who know have no idea what the Council is up to. Their search for the legendary tree of YGGDRASIL has something to do with opening the Gates, but no clear connection has been made.
