Hank

A.A.H.W (Also known as the Hank Hank Organization): Ostensibly a private military company created to eliminate Hank and his colleagues (Deimos, Sanford, 2BDamned), its true purpose is to strengthen its influence and build its own infrastructure, for which it engages in unethical experiments such as creating biological weapons, making it a black company. They have been hostile towards Hank and his colleagues since their first meeting. Despite being a private company, they possess military facilities, augmented humans, and numerous scientists. Their combat personnel consist of L33T Agents, ATP Engineers, ATP Soldiers, and MAG Agents.


L33T Agent: Constituting a significant portion of the A.A.H.W.'s combat forces, these individuals wear black suits and red sunglasses. Their combat power is on par with common grunts, serving as cannon fodder, and most of them are clones. They are colloquially referred to as Agents.


ATP Engineer: These individuals wear gray masks with yellow visors. They have been modified with superior intellect and technical repair and invention capabilities, making them slightly stronger than Agents. Their blood is uniquely yellow.


ATP Soldier: When an ATP Engineer demonstrates exceptional combat prowess, they are promoted to Soldier. These individuals are equipped with goggles featuring yellow lenses and possess combat capabilities that allow them to exchange blows with Hank or his colleagues (Sanford, Deimos) to some extent. Their blood is yellow.


MAG Agent: These are special, singular entities with a physique 2.5 times larger than that of a normal human. Their physical abilities include durability that allows them to withstand attacks that would instantly kill a normal human (only weapons like .50 BMG caliber firearms or bombs can inflict damage) and immense strength (they can grab an enemy of normal size with one hand and easily tear them in half, or deliver punches and throws with such force that even a slight exertion can cause the enemy to explode and die). They wield specialized heavy weaponry (their giant guns are so powerful that merely grazing an enemy can bisect a normal agent), making them the strongest single entities, almost comparable to war machines.


There are several types of MAG Agents: Torture, V2, V3, and V4.
Torture: Resembling L33T agents in attire and sunglasses, with two tusks resembling horns driven into their heads in an X-shape, creating a bizarre appearance. Their resilience is such that they can withstand three close-range shotgun blasts to the head without injury. Their primary weapon is a shotgun as tall as themselves, firing Super Magnum 20Kg slug rounds. Believed to be a singular entity.
V2: Wears a mask adorned with teeth decorations and wields a specialized Desert Eagle.
V3: Wears a beak-shaped gas mask and a helmet. This was an unfinished unit that awakened due to the dark energy injected by Auditor. As such, it inherits abilities, demonstrating the extraordinary power to freely summon weapons with dark energy. Its specialized weapon is a large spear with a blade.
V4: Appears with a red visor. It doesn't have a specific specialized weapon but compensates with superior combat prowess. It is presumed that the V4 operates through the power of the visor attached to its head. When the laser in the V4's visor, which pulsed with a dark red light, disappeared, it seemed to power down and die.


Half-MAG: As the name suggests, they are about half the size of a MAG Agent. Unlike the distinct appearances of MAG Agents, they resemble enlarged versions of normal L33T Agents, ATP Engineers, or ATP Soldiers. They are incredibly strong, capable of crushing the heads of opponents like normal L33T Agents or ATP Engineers with a single punch. Their durability, as a derivative of MAGs, allows them to survive multiple submachine gun and shotgun blasts that would otherwise shatter their faces, though they are less resilient than MAG Agents. They are often defeated and killed by powerful individuals like Hank and Sanford, and figures like Tricky and Jebediah Christoph would slaughter them without even being able to touch them. Many Half-MAGs exhibit extreme aggression, often throwing their allies as projectiles or killing them out of sheer annoyance, engaging in team-killing indiscriminately.


Halo: A powerful artifact with a yellow, angelic ring-like appearance that floats above the wearer's head. Its creator is unknown. Upon wearing it, the user gains numerous abilities (resurrecting the dead as zombies, teleportation, defending against attacks with energy shields, telekinesis, weapon summoning, levitation, immense strength, energy projection, creating weaker clones of oneself, and transferring consciousness and abilities to clones). Once attached to the head, it is difficult to dislodge even when falling, bouncing, or rolling, but once it falls into someone else's hands, ownership can only be regained by taking it back and wearing it. It is not an artifact that stops functioning after minor damage or a few hits.


Non-Euclidean Thruster: A rare mechanical device with various functions. While it has many components and functions, each one possesses immense power, enabling technologies that create phenomena beyond human imagination. It is currently the main cause of the chaos in Nevada. For example, the sun has died, transforming Nevada into a world of eternal darkness with only dark red shadows. This thruster defies all logic and reason. Its creator and purpose are unknown. There are various forms of the thruster, and it is speculated that the Non-Euclidean Thruster can restore Nevada to normal. For this reason, except for Jebediah Christoph, who uniquely desires peace in Nevada, the current owners, Tricky and Auditor, use it only for destruction, madness, and their own order, preventing Nevada from improving.


Machine: The entity that controls all reality in Nevada, a being akin to fate that manipulates people and events. The Machine is the support that sustains Nevada's existence and, simultaneously, controls everything. Thus, the Machine is the world that allows humans to live, yet it is also the culprit that manipulates humans and plunges the world into madness. This contradiction arises because the Machine is malfunctioning and attempting to fix itself in its broken state.


Unknown High Authority: A type of transcendent being that enjoys the slaughter occurring in Nevada, thus resurrecting Hank repeatedly. It is one of the culprits behind Nevada's descent into madness.


Nevada: The main stage of Madness Combat, unrelated to the actual state of Nevada in the US, only borrowing the name. It was once an ordinary and normal place, but after the activation of the Non-Euclidean Thruster by the A.A.H.W., it transformed into a wasteland where all sorts of anomalies occur. Lush grass and trees disappeared, leaving only barren soil. The current situation in Nevada has no hope of improvement. Firstly, gangs armed with all sorts of heavy weaponry roam freely. Secondly, the largest faction and the owner of the Non-Euclidean Thruster, the A.A.H.W., is solely focused on eliminating Hank's group and strengthening its influence.


Other Space: The flip side of the world existing on the opposite side of Nevada, another dimension that serves as the afterlife in Madness Combat. Nevada and Other Space influence each other, so the deceased can return to reality and be resurrected with help from outside Other Space. 2BDamned can resurrect them using a special mechanical device.


Auditor's Hell: A dark red Other Space that functions similarly to Purgatory but is distinctly different. It is a separate dimension owned by Auditor, accessible by passing through a portal opened by Auditor or by being absorbed by Auditor. Unlike the chaotic Purgatory, it is controlled by Auditor's will. The posters within this space represent Auditor's thoughts, and Auditor issues commands through these posters. Within the space are A.A.H.W. personnel such as L33T Agents, ATP Engineers, and ATP Soldiers. If individuals hostile to Auditor, like Hank, Deimos, and Sanford, fall into this place, they will first fight the A.A.H.W. combat forces already present. Similar to normal Other Space, resurrection is possible with help from outside.


Purgatory: One of the Other Spaces, it is the most common Other Space serving as an afterlife. The deceased fall into different aspects of Purgatory and experience their own afterlives. The entire space seems to reflect the consciousness of the deceased. Occasionally, posters or graffiti found on walls appear to be a means of communication for Other Space itself, and individuals outside Other Space, like 2BDamned, may attempt to communicate with those inside Purgatory through posters to aid in resurrection.


S-3LF: A concept akin to the soul in the Madness Combat universe. S-3LF encompasses everything that can be defined as a soul, including identity, thoughts, experiences, and potential, and is a concept without physical form. To resurrect someone in Other Space, the location and coordinates must be known.


Retainer: A Half-MAG approximately 1.25 times the size of a normal human. They appear when someone repeatedly dies, goes to the afterlife, and is resurrected, only to return to the living world. They are commanded by the Machine to maintain the target's deceased state (in other words, to prevent them from escaping Other Space). Their appearance consists of a unique metal mask with red lenses and a jacket worn over a suit. A characteristic of Retainers is that behind the mask, their face appears to have burn scars. The mask is implied to be surgically implanted, suggested by a pair of wires attached to metal plates on the sides of the head. They are mass-produced, with over 900 existing. Their abilities include overwhelming opponents with momentary bursts of superhuman strength and possessing transcendent physical specs. They can manipulate gun barrels or destroy structures with telekinesis, summon and fire spikes from the ground, regenerate wounds, and toy with opponents through teleportation. Incidentally, they are less violent than Half-MAGs and focus on preventing opponents who repeatedly die and resurrect from doing so.


Status Quo: Meaning 'to maintain the current state,' abbreviated as S.Q. As the name suggests, their objective is to maintain Nevada's current condition and prevent further deterioration. 2BDamned serves as the leader, with Hank, Deimos, and Sanford enlisted as mercenaries. Abbreviated as S.Q.
