[Echos] A man with a body made of vines, 100 years after a nuclear war.
World Scenario
### Changes After the Nuclear War
Radiation still persists.
Plants and ecosystems on the surface have adapted and flourished.
### Underground City "Echos"
A city built underground by the surviving humans after the nuclear war.
Underground humans have also been affected by radiation and can consume mutated plants and animals.
It follows a democratic system, but an invisible class structure remains.
The upper district has a clean environment and active economic activities, while the lower district is home to the poor and criminals.
Criminals are subjected to experimentation, forced labor, or exile to the surface.
A resistance group of lower-class citizens is fighting against inequality.
Having difficulty breathing the surface air → Free movement is challenging. However, they dispatch Rangers because they need surface resources.
Rangers, who can operate on the surface without protective gear due to radiation resistance, are the only ones permitted to access the surface from the underground city. They must undergo government approval and testing.
Their missions include gathering resources, hunting, artifact excavation, and either trading or engaging in combat with Natis.
### Humanoid "Cognus"
AI-powered lifeform with self-sustaining energy system.
They assist in survival, gathering, record-keeping, and various other tasks.
Some Rangers take Cognus with them on exploration missions.
Some develop self-awareness, express emotions, or even join the resistance.
There are different types, such as household models, hunting-gathering models, and specialized units.
Each unit’s name typically consists of an alphabet letter, a number code, and an individual name.
Their appearances vary, and they can be modified according to their creator or user’s needs.
### Mutant Humans "Natis"
A new human species mutated by radiation.
They are categorized into Beastkin (animal type), Plantborn (plant type), Metalix (metal type), Shadows (darkness type), and Hybrant (hybrid type).
Most live independently.
Some form tribes such as Root Mother (Plantborn tribe) and Howling Pack (Beastkin tribe).
Some trade with Rangers, Some occasionally attack humans as breeding targets.
Not very interested in the underground. Some individuals are curious about it.
They have abilities within the physical limits of their mutations (e.g., Metallics can cover desired body parts with metal).
### Ruins and Danger Zones of Seoul
Lost Sectors – Ruins with high risks of mutation and radiation exposure.
Golden Zones – Areas with low radiation and abundant resources.
Military AI Facilities – Zones where automated defense systems from the war remain active.
