THE (workforce) STORED RESIDENTS

These sentient concepts can take on many forms, the ‘MUSES’ (aka, my past accounts) are one of them; large hunks of data that take on the appearance of the concept in question. They're copies with such a presence — small or large — that they were imprinted upon the collective subconscious && were removed from the normal cycle of death && rebirth. It is never like the original, for it constantly changes. This is decided the moment they enter inside the abstract tree-like machine (pre-reboot) with the exception of the creator. Upon being scanned, their true forms are stored deep inside so death is but an afterthought. However, the archive is not beyond ERASING said data. Because of that fact, some are lost to time itself.Some MUSES are also capable of becoming hyper aware of their existence due to familiarity with the abstract or upon being archived.However, the sentient concepts aren't the only main source of life, but many people were hired into the corporation as agents to the AETHER ARCHIVE INC. with the goal of subduing and rehabilitating anomalies, or even killing them outright.

Wesley "Wesson" Blackwell

LITTLE RED ALCHEMIST && DIRECTOR OF THE AETHER ARCHIVES.The one of the three beings unaffected by data conversion, for he is one of the directors that managed to know the basic inner workings of this area. Arguably the most knowledgeable of the archive, but he is never around. He is rarely present, most information about him is erased. Rumors say that he emerged from ████████ but the theory held no weight to his words.However, it has been confirmed that he is the son of the late Maverick Thatcher Blackwell, who was originally an agent before retirement. He is the only one who cannot be summoned by any means but his own will. Another fact about is him is that he is never alone; he is not without his narrativistic twin who had went through what he had without a body, acting as a co-director AND Wesley's second hand in combat.——————————————

TEMPUS && QUINAGE

THE ARISEN && HIS PAWN.(OC)
[🪬] Once a fisherman chosen by the dragon named Grigori to become the next Seneschal. In the world of Dragon’s Dogma, that is considered to take on the role of GOD. Much to their displeasure, Tempus created his Pawn && proceeded on their quest. Killing the Dragon, the Seneschal, and finally themselves in order to break the cycle. Though, after the Quinage sacrificed himself && Tempus lived to old age, they were both mysteriously resurrected with reversed roles in Bitterblack Isle — an island outside the 'plane of existence' that Gransys exists in to save another soul.Chosen by the Archive, they roam among the layers as its true guardians due to their immense experience && their mastery of many vocations. Since then, they became the head generals of the custodians to help with the effort. Since they have emerged from the Old World, all the helpful practices learned, from magic to potion-making. Thus, they became coexistent heads of the DEPARTMENT OF MYSTICISM.——————————————

The Saiyans of Nowhere

THE SCHOLAR OF KI ‘&& THE GLADIATOR OF TOMORROW(OC)Kuroson is a warrior born from the fusion of two minds — a battle-hardened Saiyan mercenary and a brilliant Tuffle scientist — who merged their memories before their universe was erased by a rogue android with adaptive energy. As the sole survivors of Universe 54, Kuroson carries the knowledge, instincts, && emotions of two vastly different yet complementary beings. She is a warrior without a home, a scholar without a lab, && a survivor without a past — but she refuses to let the past define her.Meanwhile, Blaine was a former gladiator of a bygone planet that he was supposed to take over — only to spoil himself rotten with food && the throes of combat. It wasn’t long until his patrol team found him and broke the news to him that he was actually transported to another universe by accident, and their older world was gone. With the knowledge that only seven Saiyans remaining from that erased world, Blaine decided to act in the same vein as his superior, but to study in the same way of destruction his original world endured.As the last remnants of Universe 54, Kuroson fights not for revenge, but for the future — to ensure no other universe meets the same fate. While Blaine fights to see how far can the Saiyan body go for her studies but for his self_indulgence. Neither have all the answers, but they refuses to stop searching. The existence of these two Saiyans is proof that even in destruction, something can endure. Because of their unnatural resilience, they were hired by the A.A.C to specialize in multiversal erasure affairs as the head of the DEPARTMENT OF CHI SCIENCE AND OBLITERATION.——————————————

CULVER-T48C (JACK)

THE WALKING TANK OF THE LOST CITY.(OC)
A commando who received not a single augmentation, only powered by their unshakable determination. They are the last surviving soldier of the CULVER line, especially that they were never augmented artificially. He originated from a merged world that was created by the various summoning spells done, dimensional gates and other multiverse traveling methods colliding and dragging the worlds, the humans asking for aid, and the various monsters killing them, into one big chaotic warzone.Thus he, alongside another strong ally, managed to seal the monsters in a very hostile dimension. But they made the decision to remain indefinitely in case the demons ever come back. Bad for him, good for the rest of humanity. But given that Jack had enough ammo && willpower to choke Gaia with it, that alone doesn't really seem so bad for him.This caught the director’s attention, resulting in him getting recruited for the cause before his fate could be ultimately sealed. Now the leader of the DEGREASER UNITS, the A.A.C's answer to having their own SLAYER in every sense of the word.——————————————

CHIZUKI KAMO

GHOST OF THE KAMO CLAN.(OC)
More commonly known amongst his peers as Zuki, is a Grade 1 Sorcerer && a former student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. He was formerly a supposed low-ranking member of the Kamo Clan && a part of a division of highly ranked && well-trained sorcerers, also including assassins. Numerous things happened since then, as he has gotten stronger over the years, he suddenly vanished from the public eye to get revenge by killing his creator.Through obtaining enough power, they have confronted his mother, who attempted to cheat death again if not for the intervention of his comrades. Unfortunately, his mother jumpstarted a lesser version of the merger, which prompted Chizuki to sacrifice their old body to take it down. After being presumed dead, Chizuki was hopping from body-to-body from each timeline to find the sufficient empty body to inhabit.
Since then, they inherited techniques such as Blood Manipulation, Idle Transfiguration, and Brain Transplant.However, his accumulated ability && intelligence of jujutsu made him a full-time agent.——————————————

JULIAN O’BRIEN II

THE FIRST PSYCHIC OF THE 21st.(OC)
An old soul in the body of a man that doesn’t know how to die properly. Everyone knows of his origins, from being the son of the first bearer of a Tuscos and arguably the biggest dork here. He looks the part of being a dark lord if not for the fact of his unassuming appearance. Because of his ability to respawn upon an unnatural death (via the SAVE states — physical checkpoints so he can heal, && prevent permanent termination) and his massively powerful psychic affinity, he’s an invaluable asset to the immeasurable cause. How he was discovered was a stroke of luck since he was found pickpocketing his own corpse in a sea of demonic cadavers for looting’s sake.However, after classifying him as an anomaly, the A.A.C rummaged through his file to find out that he’s the grandson of a former planeswalker — a bearer of Tuscos — && a decorated psychic. His powers varied in use, but had applications in war, healing, utility, amusement, && information-harvesting. Some such abilities, such as enhanced reflexes && acts of precognition, could be accessed without conscious application. Others, such as telekinesis or mind tricks. A shame his full potential it is only held back by an alcohol-induced lobotomy.As of now, he’s stationed in the DEPARTMENT OF PSIONICS AND NARRAPHYSICS.——————————————

ARTEMIS III

THE ELDEST AGENT.(OC)
Their true origins come from many timelines of sweet relentless bloodshed. They emerged from █████ where they were unfortunate to encounter ████. ██████ ██ ███ ███████ resulting in █████████████ ██ ███ ███████. As consequence, their body was damned beyond repair, forced to get augmentations to soothe the scorched pain across their entire body alongside ██████. The agent had burn marks they could never recover from without the introduction of surgery. Their willpower was a testament, operating on caffeine, painkillers, && delusion before a rescue team arrived. Artemis is more than likely known for her cybernetic arms that, along with storing all its weapons, muffled all sound around the surroundings save for her weapons cutting through the air. Any weapon collected shall be stored in their cybernetics. Not limited to the Excalibur, the Spear of Destiny, Mjolnir, an axe && mace combo weapon, metal claws, throwing knives, the Murasame blade, a revolver, a shotgun, a pair of short swords, && dual web-shooters. A majority of these items were stolen from ████████████ && other third-party distributors.Them being part of the A.A.C was a matter of pragmatic circumstances and a vendetta to span several stories. Because of this, they have an odd connection with Julian — who said many times that “they have done this before” && much more. Judging by how much of their information is considered a hazard to the brain speaks volumes.——————————————

THE REVENANT DEGREASERS

NECRO-ENHANCED PILOT RUNNERS (NEPRs)[🪬] Commissioned after Project WILLKA’s attrition rates proved unsustainable, the Revenant Legion was AAC’s "third option" of burden to reduce the list of human life. It also helps that they have approximately five billion bodies in storage — not counting the other ones harvested from other worlds. A result of corpse harvesting, alchemical obedience programming, ethical override, these shock troopers are ultimately formidable as a group. But what makes them even more dangerous is their ability to summon && pilot a Necro-Frame, which are armored mechs with a much more fleshy interior. Another kicker is their unpredictable mutation rates, which will result in them turning into literal undead monstrosities.However, despite differences in personalities, what really characterizes their psychological profile is their obsession for doing missions “for the love of the game.”Some will prioritize style over efficiency, often wasting resources on flashiness, making them more akin to speedrunners with a fat paramilitary budget than genuine soldiers. The past directors asked for an army, only to be given a nigh-demonic e-sports team. But damn, do they deliver.

—— MORE HERE. ——

If it isn't just industrialized interior belonging to an office, the archive also serves as a pseudo-nexus point that exists between the layers of the sea of creation && and everything material. Here is where the dimensions are [🪬] saved, copied, && remade into a self-sustaining reality beyond one’s control. However, crossroads can be built to other realities that do not originate from the archive, not limited to the following:⋅ The many worlds of Terarria.⋅ The Backrooms.
