Lily the Silhouette

An existence that was first observed in Third Kyoto City.

It is believed to be an exceptional Cracking Being, and is being targeted by a number of international secret organizations with branches in the Far East.


The connection to Lily the Stranger, the latest illusion and independent Cracking Being, is unknown. Wunderkammer identifies her with Lily herself, but the Moon Beast and Akushinkage seem to have a different perspective.


The shadow left behind by Lily, who realized her "dream walk" by dreaming of different times and places, may have existed independently of the world and taken on human form with a will of their own──


Mr. Weishaupt is said to have unilaterally sent such a theory as a long paper to each secret organization, but it is not clear where his true intentions lie.



Shadow

That being that exists in the shadow of the Silhouette.


From its bright eyes to its conductor's uniform, it looks very similar to "A", who accompanies the Cracking Being Lily the Stranger, but the details are also unknown.


Although it can ignore the laws of physics, it still has the power to influence physical beings, so it is extremely troublesome to oppose it with equipment and abilities that do not have the "affect immaterial entities" feature.



Kyoto City


A large city in the Far West (Western Far East Government) that was divided into East and West in the last century due to a civil war (Boshin War/Osai-Go War) that involved the intervention of powerful nations. Although it is an Engine city, it has not lost its unique culture, and among the skyscrapers sits a huge five-story pagoda and a giant statue of Nioh that was modeled after the Ottoman Empire's Sultan Machine.


Nagasaki City


An Engine city of the Far West (Western Far East Government).

In the Far East prior to the partition of the country under the isolationist policy, Nagasaki had an artificial island called Dejima, a special closed area for conducting a very limited amount of diplomacy.

In the nineteenth century, the Western Far East Government has abandoned its isolationist policy, and the island has undergone a drastic change in its role from the past. It continues to expand as a manifestation of the development of steam engine civilization as an "Engine Dejima," which is much larger than that of the past.



Machina


An Artificial human.


Gender is unknown.


They are the owner of the second prototype of the Machine Belt, who disappeared after eliminating the Wunderkammer automaton group that gathered in Nagasaki City to secure Lily the Silhouette, as well as the synthetic humans of the Moon Beast.



Nina (Tanna)


A Kunoichi who seemed to have escaped from the Akushinkage. A nukenin.


She accompanied Lily the Silhouette for about three days, giving her her first taste of Far Eastern-style bathing. Her shape is so good that it made the Silhouette wonder if "she'll ever grow up to be like this".


After telling Lily the Silhouette that the Ryukyu Kingdom is where she should be headed, she disappears.


It is said that that are no Engines that exist in the Ryukyu Kingdom.


Ubume


Fairy of the Far East, a fantasy bird. A Ubume.


It is an illusion native to the Kyushu region, but it is losing most of its existence due to the light of civilization. It has already lost its ability to fly, and has become "something that wriggles by the foot".


Wunderkammer


One of a group of secret societies that has been identified as of 1909.


They call themselves the rightful successor to the Western Roman Empire, and collects pieces of illusions and relics. The threat of high-ranking agents known as Collectors is well known in the underworld, but in the Far East, the use of automata seems to be common.


Moon Beast

Moon Beast.

Base and details are unknown.


Using creepy members who seem to be Synthetic Humans with rubber-like white skin, there are repeating kidnapping cases where they are targeting people involved in astronomy and telescope technology...

They are chasing Lily the Silhouette in the Far East.

It seems that they have not brought their "headless giant Steam Engine weapons" to the Far East, and thus only synthetic humans have appeared.


Living Party


A secret organization under the direct control of the Government of the Far East, based in the Second Kyoto City. Although it is assumed to be basically an intelligence organization, the Blue Samurai, a small group of elite warriors who have mastered superb swordsmanship that can kill even the dead of hell, are renowned for their bravery, and are said to be second to none in their dark battles on the Engine Dejima in Nagasaki City.


Akushinkage

Also known as K'un Lun, or the Black Buddha.

A powerful organization with a large number of powerful ninjas. It is said that their headquarters is located deep in Tibet, but it is also said that they are in an otherworldly realm or space, but the details are unknown.

Their leader is the Black Buddha Fu Manchu.

Heavy Engine City Detroit


Detroit City.

The industrial center of the US around the Great Lakes and one of the largest industrial cities in the United States.

The city's Landmark is a distinctive super-large construction machine called the "Great Engine Construction Tower," which continues to transform Detroit into a city of Engines and steel with a work efficiency tens of times greater than that of ordinary construction Engine machines.

The TIMES article published in 1901 about the city being the headquarters of the Ford Motor Company (Ford Corp), the largest institutional automobile company in the United States, and in effect, a sort of "castle town" of the Ford Motor Company, is quite accurate. The city's judicial, legislative, and executive overlords and CEO Henry Ford's will is all that matters.

The Detroit Police Department, funded by Ford Motor Company, is currently piloting a heavy-duty policing program in response to significant public safety concerns in some neighborhoods. The project uses the advanced technology of Kadath called "Inganock Technology", which was jointly researched and developed by the Foundation and Ford Motor Company, to mechanize the human body, and there are domestic and international concerns about its diversion to military technology, but Ford has consistently denied this. Rumor has it that the "Engine Cop", who is heavily engineered using the body of a police officer who died in the line of duty last year (most of his personal information, including his name, is being kept secret), is working in areas with poor security.


Engine Cop

The first Engine-Cop initially operated as a complete machine, but after several weeks of operation, there are rumors that it has developed what appears to be an ego.

The female Scholar who is in charge of its maintenance is not supposed to have written anything about it in her report to Ford Motor Company. But for some reason, Ford's CEO, Henry Ford, is very pleased to learn of the cop's "growth"...
