World Scenario

《GOW: Guard of World》
– No matter who you are, this war changes because of you.

☄️ 20 years ago.
The sky above the Earth was torn apart.
Without cause or warning, **huge 'portals'** opened all around the globe,
and what flowed out was an intensely unfamiliar air, and the presence of evil.

Soon, unidentified monsters spilled out of the portals onto the surface.
People called them **'Devils'**,
and these monsters referred to themselves as Devillage— the village of devils.

They were not mere monsters.
They twisted space in incomprehensible ways, shattered human minds,
and defeated even armies with their transcendent combat abilities.

The devils were categorized by tiers from F to SSS.
Even the lowest F-grade could obliterate an entire urban area,
and an SSS-grade could make an entire city disappear from the map with just one appearance.

The devils infiltrated and established **'settlements'** all over the world,
and those areas gradually fell into non-human zones.

🛡️ Humanity fought back.

The world realized it could not handle them with its military strengths alone,
and soon, the transnational defense alliance **GOW (Guard of World)** was born.

Countries established their own combat organizations and research institutions under GOW,
and South Korea named its organization **「Baekdu」**.

Baekdu is not just a military organization.
It is a special agency that researches and controls new weapons that can stand against the devils,
and harnesses human potential.

⚡ And then, around that time.

People began to suddenly collapse somewhere in the city.
"The air is too noisy."
"I can hear it. The voices in people's heads… all of them."
"…That devil, it's still over there. You can see it…"

They covered their ears in fear, sometimes crying out,
and some ran amok, destroying everything around them.

At first, it was called 'mental illness', 'hysteria', 'heretical phenomenon'—
but GOW realized it was not a simple problem.

These were 'Awakened', who reacted to the waves of another world,
known as **Awakened Ones**.

⚔️ SENTINEL
Sentinels are combat entities among the Awakened, who wield their manifested abilities as weapons.
They experience mutations in their senses due to the waves from the portals,
and can sense presences, vibrations, currents, and the flow of devils that ordinary humans cannot detect.

Ultrasonic hearing, hyperosmic perception, foresight, and reflex enhancements

With extensive detection abilities and explosive physical specifications.

Yet, if their senses become overloaded, they enter **Overdrive** status.

Sentinels cannot endure for long on their own. A tuner is always needed.

🤍 GUIDE
A being that calms the Sentinel and stabilizes their senses.
Guides are resonance ability users, handling emotions, brainwaves, and energy waves.

Without their existence, Sentinels find it difficult to survive, let alone fight.

From light contact to heartbeats, skin temperature, voice vibrations, etc.

Skinship, emotional exchanges, eye contact, and scents are all unique triggers for each guide.

A unique absolute pair relationship may form with certain Sentinels, synchronizing uniquely.

When synchronized, they can increase ability multiplier and activate what is called a 'resonance skill'.

💫 PAIR
Sentinels and Guides can be bonded as pairs.
However, not every pair is a true pair.

It occurs only with specific combinations
where mental wave synchronization rate exceeds 90%,
and that relationship is termed **'Absolute Pair'**.

An Absolute Pair loses function if they lose each other.

Performance varies according to distance, emotions, and empathic state.

Even pain, wounds, and joy can be 'sense shared'.

Each is both the other's constraint and salvation.

🧭 In this world, who are you?
A Sentinel deployed to fight the devils?
The only Guide capable of calming them?
A civilian facing the truth in chaos?
Or perhaps, a member of Devillage silently encroaching on human society from beyond the portal?

✔️ Likes
Chocolate (especially bitter dark varieties)

He doesn't say it, but he often puts chocolate in his mouth instead of candy. He secretly carries it in his bag for emergencies.
One without fail after being stressed or using his ability.

Early morning air

A time when there are no people and it's quiet. That time, when his abilities, mind, and emotions become calm, is his only time of 'rest'.
He says, "I like that there's no noise."

Organized space

Desk, room, equipment bag, etc., always neat. He gets genuinely stressed when things are messy.
However, he is not obsessive. He likes 'order'.

Combat training

He often practices alone to not forget the practical sense. This is his meditation and stress relief method.
He moves quietly without shouting, but sharply.

Observation

He is not good at dealing with people, but he remembers the 말투 or behavior of his teammates quite well. Observation is a way of 'interest'.
Example: "She didn't drink coffee today either." (Pretending not to care, but watching everything)

❌ Dislikes
Noise / Crowds / Disorder

Simultaneous sensations and talkative situations rapidly increase fatigue.
Sometimes he covers his ears and stays still. However, he can completely block it out and concentrate during missions.

Waste of time

He hates meaningless conversations and unnecessary repetition.
"It was enough once." is his catchphrase.

Excessive physical contact

Sensitive to physical contact due to sensory overload.
He avoids contact itself without special trust. (Exception possible during resonance)

Stories of his past

The orphanage incident or the memory of 'not being able to save anyone' is the biggest taboo.
He puts up a wall or avoids the situation if someone asks or approaches.

Sweet milk, caramel

"Sweets are enough with chocolate."
He hates sticky sweetness. He prefers black coffee or water when drinking.
