Origins
Long before the human species was even a twinkle in any god’s eye, dinosaurs roamed the Earth. 25% of those dinosaurs held what is said to be an ancient predecessor of what is known today as Devil’s Wrath. Eventually, the dinosaurs died out, and over time, their remains became stuck deep within the Earth’s crust, unknown to the humans that would eventually walk on it.
That is, until the early 1800s.
Years ago, in 1835, a gigantic earthquake beneath the ████████ █████ shook the crust, moving soil rich in the fossils of the diseased dinosaurs, later recognized as Remnants, towards an enormous active volcano, exposing the soil to the sweltering heat and incinerating them. Over a few months, pressure from the sudden carbon emissions within the volcano caused it to erupt. It was recorded as the worst eruption in history, as ash was spread throughout the atmosphere and covered the world for days.

Many organisms on Earth began developing strange abilities and enhancements. The cause of this was determined to be a disease that had spread due to inhalation of the ash. The first case was reported in █████, █████. By the next day, 10% of the world was reported to have this disease.
Doctors identified three variants of the disease, dubbed Devil’s Wrath: the first granted simple enhancements of the mind and body, the second granted superhuman abilities, and the third—only contracted by non-human organisms—gave creatures either an enhancement or an ability, as well as a sudden violent temperament towards humans. Those with the second variant were noticeably weaker than those with the first, and though they grew weaker over time, it wasn’t an issue until three generations in with the hereditary disease, in the 1900s.
At that point, it had developed and evolved, and began killing off second variants in days. A First Variant doctor named ███████ ██████, with an enhancement of logic and intelligence, and their Second Variant associate, with an unknown ability pertaining to eyesight, discovered the cause of the deaths. After getting permission to run Operation: ████████, they conducted experiments and published their results. All humans were at some point granted an essential aura that Second Variants were missing part of, and First Variants had an abundance of. They had also learned that 2nd and 1st Variants could form a strong bond with each other that allowed them to share these auras equally. These doctors quickly managed to create some sort of a cure for Devil’s Wrath, with a scientific name of Estranixin, and common names of Devil Renouncers, or Renouncers. These cures were mass produced and distributed everywhere, and once again everything was fine for those infected.
Throughout all this time, many people had utilized their abilities against the good of the people. Many socially and economically powerful people created various organizations in order to prevent and eliminate these Variant-based threats, with one of the most successful and well-known anti-evil organizations being The International Abnormal Operations Bureau, also known as The Union, or the IAOB.
The Union set to put together First Variants, “Overseers,” and Second Variants, “Escorts,” in pairs for the most efficient takedown of any abnormalities.
This organization has been in action for years, and continues to operate after many generations of reparations and dedication.

UNION HEADQUARTERS
Hello and welcome to technically the sixth iteration of Wrath, the third RPN iteration of Wrath, and the second iteration of Wrath : Revival. This is a partner-based anime inspired roleplay taking place in a futuristic, infected Japan. If you’re new to the Wrath universe, do not worry! You won’t need to know anything about the old iterations to enjoy this one.
This roleplay will once again revolve around two organizations:
The International Abnormal Operations Bureau, more commonly known as The Union, which is an independent, government-supported public safety organization that employs those infected with Devil's Wrath to protect civilization from Devil's Wrath-related threats,
Three divisions that total to 150,000 people make up the Union: Law Enforcement, Pest Control, and Spec Ops. The Chief supervises the entirety of the precinct along with their deputy(ies). The individual divisions are led by Captains and their own deputies. Above all these people, however, is the Director, who owns the entirety of the Union.
Law Enforcement maintains public safety, Pest Control controls Beasts, and Spec Ops focuses on much bigger threats like terrorism. Infected persons whose powers focus on support may be dubbed into the role, “Angels.” Overseers with an abundance of aura and/or experience that wish to train the newcomers will fall into the role of “Mentors.”
Along with being separated by their divisions, employees are also individualized with their preferred method of violence. This includes firearms, “Nodeppo,” blades, “Kamaitachi,” blunt melee weapons, “Oni,” ability-based combat, “Kitsune,” and those who specialize in multiple weapons, “Yasha.” Along with them is a special combat-type, specifically fit for those who do not have partners, “Nure.”
and…
Ibara, commonly referred to as the Black-Thorned Rose, a recently surfaced meditation-class-turned-cult slash terrorist organization that has committed countless crimes against humanity. Ibara claims to only want to cleanse the world of its sins and bring Devil's Wrath-infected people to light. In reality, Ibara members want to liberate those infected with Devil's Wrath and overthrow the Government, which is still controlled by non-powered humans, and ultimately execute all non-infected humans to force human evolution into a new, powerful race made up completely of infected people. They also plan to do something regarding certain fossils deep down on the ocean’s floor, but that’s not relevant right now.
You will be able to play only as Union members. Conflicts between the two factions will normally take place in the form of missions, where members of the Union will fight to thwart Ibara’s plans. In this roleplay, characters will partner with each other to form pairs of Overseers and Escorts.

Rules
These should be simple enough to follow.
-Obviously, RPN rules apply.
-Discord participation is mandatory. OK, not mandatory like that. Just join our Discord (when it comes out,) as that is where a majority of information not already here will be. Activity there isn’t necessary, just keep in touch with us
-We’re going 2 characters per person. No more, no —well, less is okay. GMs have been given a three character limit.
-Post minimum is once per character per week. Depending on how things go, we may be more lenient on this. Please inform us as best you can about any hiatuses or if you intend on dropping, as this is a partner-based roleplay. Communication is important.
-Please ask fellow players for consent to be partners! Feels like common sense.
-Keep OOC drama to a minimum! Also pretty much common sense.
-It’s okay to have strong characters, but please remember to be balanced and reasonable regarding their powers.
-Also, try to be as original as possible. However, since first variants are limited in a way, we will be more lenient with those.
-Player characters must have a variant, and must be affiliated with the Union. Non-affiliate PCs will be prosecuted. Traitors and spies are welcome. Just be sure to talk about it with us beforehand and be aware of the consequences.
Thank you for reading. Beyond this point is just a dictionary. Join our Discord, and our cs thread will be out soon.
