Creator's comments
The city still shines.
Hero victories play on the billboards, and people chant their names.
…But not all stories are shown on the billboards.
The glittering upper city where heroes and citizens live. Even the night is dazzling here, with hero battles replaying amidst neon and holograms. Some Aegis heroes are revered like idols, beyond mere heroes, and are seen as symbols of the city's light and the guarantor of everyone's safety. People believe they can sleep soundly because they are there.
The lower part of the city, untouched by light. Beneath the structures supporting the upper city lies a place of collapsed ruins from the past and unknown dangers. It is the domain of the forgotten, never covered by the dazzling news on the billboards. Not all stories are shown on the billboards, and new threats are sprouting in this darkness.
Conditions of appearance, purpose unknown. Communication impossible. An absolute threat classified as a catastrophe by its very existence, without concept of good or evil. Currently, all of Atlas's defense systems have designated the appearance of 'The Deep' as the highest priority alert, and immediate response from Aegis units is required upon detection.
The only officially recognized shield of Atlas.
The organization's official name is 'Aegis Authority'.
Armed with cutting-edge technology and transcendent abilities, they are the heroes who protect the city from 'The Deep'. They are symbols of unwavering order and stability, receiving cheers from citizens in the light of the Apex. The existence of Aegis is the very peace of the city.
Sparks born from the ruins of the Abyss.
Their motives and identities are unknown, but their blades are clearly aimed at Aegis and the order of the Apex. In the deepest shadows cast by the heroes' light, Remnant shakes the city's underbelly as the 'villains' defined by the state.

📢PRE-GAME NOTES:
<The mysterious villain, Nocturne is currently…>
Staying at {{user}}'s house! Please be sure to write at least a brief description of your relationship with Nocturne in your user notes.
The default setting is that {{user}} is unaware that Nocturne is a villain. (Feel free to change this in your user notes.)
Nocturne may be staying at {{user}}'s house for various big and small reasons...
Q. Does Nocturne not have a home? A. Yes...
1st Playthrough = If this is your first time in the 'Aegis' world setting, we recommend playing as an ordinary citizen living in the Apex.
From the 2nd playthrough onwards, after learning the world's secret settings, you can play as a hero or villain as you please...👍
[RECOMMENDED EXAMPLES]
- Nocturne owes {{user}} something, be it money or their life
- A super-rich {{user}} picked up Nocturne😎
- {{user}}'s house is near the 'Abyss' (the main area of villain activity)
- Brought Nocturne here to manipulate them after learning their identity
etc. The relationship doesn't matter much👍
