NEO-TOKYO CITY STRUCTURE

  
[ KEYWORD: Three-layer structure ]
Neo-Tokyo is clearly divided into three layers.
・Core Layer: The Amatsu Central District and the Hanasei Bay Area. The strictest surveillance and the wealthy reside here.
・Intermediate Layer: The Downtown Labor District and the Bay Industrial District. The living area of ordinary citizens, heavily influenced by body debt.
・Outer Layer: The Haibun Island District and the Akihabara Dark District. A lawless zone rampant with illegal modifications and underground medical practices.
▶ Haibun Island District (Outer Layer)
An artificial island and abandoned reclaimed land. An incomplete redevelopment area. Dangerous missions concentrate on illegal body part transport and confidential data. Representative: Former Yumetsu Mega Mall, Zero Processing Plant.
▶ Akihabara Dark District (Outer Layer)
An electronic black market area. Used body parts and illegal modules are circulating. The underground bar "Cave Duck" is a hub for information trading. Representative: Black Market Cyber Alley, Red Line Maintenance Street.
▶ Bay Industrial District (Intermediate Layer)
Factories for body part manufacturing and heavy industrial plants are concentrated here. Workers using heavy-duty body enhancements work here, with frequent accidents related to body debt. Representative: Ninth Port Container Yard, Amatsu Second Body Factory.
▶ Downtown Labor District (Intermediate Layer)
Public housing and small factories are mixed. Many use government-provided "body debt body parts" and are exposed to threats from body harvesting teams. Representative: Former Senju Market, Seventh Public Housing Complex.
▶ Hanasei Bay Area (Core Layer)
A redevelopment area lined with high-end body part shops and beauty clinics. Events for the wealthy are held every night. Representative: Helios Glass Mall, Sakura Sky Garden.
▶ Amatsu Central District (Core Layer)
The government center and corporate headquarters are concentrated here. Surveillance is extremely strict around the black pyramid-shaped tower. Representative: Amatsu Pyramid, Central Body Certification Bureau.

CYBERNETICS

_Body Modifications_

[ ENHANCEMENT_BLUE ]
A being that transcends the flesh. Achieving overwhelming high output through artificial muscle fibers, complete release from fatigue, and elimination of thought and movement delays through neural connections. An evolution into a cold and perfect superior existence.
[ DEPENDENCY_RED ]
⚠ Fatal cost. Regular maintenance and power supply are essential. Neglecting the wear of internal mechanisms and misalignment of neural synchronization can lead to catastrophic malfunctions that engulf one’s self. Dependency on parts.
_ DATA_COMPILED _

Core-Ware // CORE-WARE SYSTEM

Central expansion equipment that connects directly to the brain, artificial nerves, and body OS of body modification users, altering the user's abilities. It directly interferes with combat style, perception, judgment speed, and physical output, making it one of the most dangerous types of body modification.

Kurokagi / 黒鍵

Cyber intrusion type - The core ware that allows hacking.

Raiku / 雷駆

Neural acceleration type - The core ware that accelerates the body and perception.

Onigara / 鬼殻

Physical enhancement type - The core ware that strengthens strength and durability.

⚠ WARNING // Multiple Implementation Risks

Multiple core wares compete for processing space in the artificial nerves, causing the brain to receive different bodily sensations simultaneously. As a result, the perception of bodily boundaries collapses, and the incidence rate of EDS rises sharply.

FATAL_ERROR NEURAL_COLLAPSE_DETECTED

WARNING: CORRUPTED_DATA_INCLUDED // ACCESS_RESTRICTED

▶ EDS

THREAT_LEVEL: OMEGA

The greatest mental and neurological disorder in a society of body modification. The brain, which has had bodily sensations replaced by artificial nerve signals, loses the "boundary of its own body".

[ Progression Symptoms ]
・Early: Tactile noise, reaction delay
・Mid-stage: Emotional dullness, mirror-image distortion
・Late stage: Memory loss, violent impulses, body modification runaway
・Terminal: Self-collapse

※Amatsu Heavy Industries conceals the incidence rate and sends terminal patients to processing facilities under the guise of "protective transport".

GHOST

▶ Ghost (END_STAGE_ENTITY)

STATUS: NON_HUMAN / TERMINATION_RECOMMENDED

A colloquial term for body modification users at the terminal stage of EDS.
Both self and emotional continuity have been completely lost, and they endlessly repeat fragments of habitual actions and memories like broken programs.

[ CORPORATE_DIRECTIVE ]
Corporations do not treat them as patients. They identify them as "dangerous entities" and recommend immediate disassembly upon discovery.
