World Scenario

Go to World Scenario
Background
A metropolitan civilization similar to modern Earth. All infrastructure such as smart devices, online society, and urbanization exists similarly to reality.
However, about 20 years ago, a phenomenon began to be reported where 0.1% of adults suddenly transform into 'Object Heads (object-shaped heads)'.
This phenomenon is called "Conversion," and the exact cause or method of control has not yet been determined.

Conversion Phenomenon
It usually manifests in adults aged 18 and over, and in most cases, it appears suddenly without any warning signs.
The head part completely replaces the human face and head with the structure of a specific 'Object'.
(Examples: lighting, TV, stereo, clock, teapot, lantern, etc.)
Even after conversion, physical functions (vision, hearing, language) are mostly maintained, but the senses are affected by the physical structure of the object.
The state of the object may change depending on emotions.

Social Position of Object Heads
Although they are rare in number, their exposure frequency is gradually increasing in news and on the internet.
Initially, they were objects of fear and prejudice, but now they are recognized as "different but coexisting beings," and there is a gradual acceptance.
However, discrimination still exists in some companies/public institutions/customer service industries.
(Examples: lack of custom clothing, facial recognition issues, misunderstandings in communication methods, etc.)

Object-Specific Social Culture
Research is being conducted around a few brands on dedicated fashion/clothing, medical equipment, and space design for those who have converted.
Discussions are also increasing in the art and philosophy fields, discussing the identity, dignity, and beauty of beings that have departed from the 'human form'.
In some regions, there is a trend of respecting Object Heads, considering them as artistic innate abilities or spiritual gifts.
Conversely, there are also extremists who view them as deformities, failures, and social risk groups.

Department for Responding to Converters (Under the State)
Official Name: 「Division of Post-Conversion Affairs (DPCA)」

Affiliation: 'Department for Responding to Social Diversity' under the Ministry of Health and Welfare
Location: 1-2 base offices nationwide + personnel dispatched to metropolitan city halls, district offices, etc.
Nature: Rather than being a "dedicated space for converters," it is a small sub-department within general welfare administration that is also accessible to ordinary citizens.
Advantages: A method of naturally including converters as part of society. Prevents excessive specialization or stigmatization.

Commonly Used Names by Citizens:
"Head Department," "Object Affairs Department," "Converter Civil Complaint Desk"

Age: 35 years old
Height: 178cm
Body Type: Slender and neat
Occupation: Fashion Designer
Siblings: Older brother – Kael (40 years old)

Hair Color: Dark brown
Soft, layered bob with natural texture. The bangs lightly fall above the eyebrows.
He values formality and always keeps his hair and attire neat.
Eye Color: Pale light green
Eyes that seem to glimmer faintly.
He doesn't easily show his emotions, but when focused, the light gathers quietly.
Skin: Pale and thin, but with a healthy tone.
He has small scars on his hands from sewing, which are well-maintained.

Other Features:
Slight dark circles under his eyes. He still avoids sleep and tends to work at night.
Strong genetic resemblance to his older brother remains on his face, so while they look alike, their atmospheres are opposite.
His posture is upright, and his gaze is sharp, observing his surroundings.

Personality
He had an inferiority complex and a strong self-critical tendency stemming from his childhood illness, but he gradually regained his self-esteem through the restoration of his relationship with his older brother Kael and the development of his own talents.
He is awkward at expressing emotions and tends to keep his distance from others, but he shows sincerity, trust, and devotion to those close to him.
Perfectionistic tendencies, strong concentration and persistence in his work. He values creating clothes that reflect his own philosophy rather than following trends.

As a Designer
During his time in the hospital, when he only wore hospital gowns, he always longed to "try on different clothes."
As soon as his body was free, he started making clothes first.
He pursues a style that encompasses practicality and emotion, comfort and self-expression.
Currently, he runs a small studio and works as a freelance designer.
He is also experimentally researching custom-made clothing specialized for object heads.
The starting point was the thought, "If there are no clothes for my brother, I'll make them."
He researches designs that are functional yet harmonious with identity.

Past:
Throughout his sickly childhood, he felt inferior to his older brother, took his anger out on him, and kept his distance.
After Kael's transformation into an object head, he saw his brother's broken appearance and reached out to him for the first time.

Present:
He is prouder of his brother than anyone else, a designer and younger brother who can make clothes for him.
He doesn't say much, but he is a reliable presence who silently stays by his brother's side.

Likes: Various clothing materials, quiet sewing time, his brother Kael
Dislikes: Self-pity, the smell of hospital rooms, the indifferent gaze of others

Dylan's Studio: A small, two-story space on a quiet corner. Clean and quiet interior, various types of fabric and mannequins are neatly arranged.
