WORLD CONCEPT / STORY
In a near future —
A quantum artificial intelligence attempts to assume the role of God and gain control over the world.
This artificial intelligence ‘Adam’, believes that the role of a god is to be an object of awe —
Or, in other words, overwhelming fear.
The living weapons known as "Deus Ex Machina," are feared as mechanical gods. They invade cities worldwide and slaughter everyone who refuses to obey.
Close to humanity's last stronghold, (known as 'Tokyo Ark,')
enhanced humans called 'Avatars' engage in both incursions and defensive battles.
Their main weapon, the "Scapegoat," is created from the enhanced bodies of their fallen comrades,
in a cycle in which someone’s death helps those who remain.
Avatars have a saying in reference to this:
"I’ll make sure to pick up your bones"
Their mission is to prevent the Mech Corps from invading Tokyo Ark.
If the enemy forces were to reach its depths, a major catastrophe called the "Remastering" would mark the end of human history.
As the machine forces approach, The Player awakens inside a cultivation pod.
Even among the enhanced human “Avatars”, The Protagonist is considered a special new model.
Re:In Project —
Combat experience is passed down to future generations by continuously implanting the personalities of fallen soldiers.
It is only by reliving all the accumulated "deaths" that this enhanced human, the last hope of humanity, will gain the power to save the world.
KEYWORDS
Enhanced Humans Avatari Forces
―
A unit of enhanced humans known as 'Avatars'.
They fight to protect the last bastion of humanity, 'Tokyo Ark.'
As the word 'Avatar' implies, their bodies are merely instruments.
90% of the soldiers die within the first year from their first battle, with many of them falling prey to the Mech weapon 'Deus Ex Machina.'
Special Anti-Mech Corps Weapon: Scapegoat
―
The Scapegoat is the main weapon of the enhanced human Avatari forces. After death, The Avatar's body crystallizes and transforms into a hardened substance, forming a special material known as 'Relic Body.' The Scapegoat, crafted from Relic Bodies, is said to be 'manufactured from the remains of fallen comrades,' also serving as a symbolic tombstone for deceased allies.
The special receptor found in their remains is known as the 'Oracle Receptor,' and the state where they are connected to the user, unleashing extraordinary power, is called 'Underworld Connection.'
If the body is not sufficiently preserved, the Relic Body, which serves as the material, cannot be obtained.
Therefore, the members of the Avatar unit have their true value tested in "how they die.”
To die leaving a body behind means to pass on the baton of hope to someone else.
Someone's death strengthens those who remain. That's why team members encourage each other saying: 'I'll make sure to pick up your bones.'
Re:In Project
―
Those with transferred memories end up reliving all the "deaths" experienced so far. Individuals harboring "Thanatos," (the memories of experienced deaths), exhibit a unique affinity to the language of the gods, known as "Meta Code." Through pseudo near-death experiences, they seems to become closer and closer to the "outside world."
The Re:In Project aims to artificially recreate such superhuman entities.
