The Bastards What do bastards usually do when they’re idle? Location / Eastern Front of the Arcanatica Continent / Military Camp No. 3 Composition / A bunch of scoundrels picked up after the Second Continental Chaos Talents cast aside after the failed Perfekte campaign. A group of eccentrics living like parasites off nature. Several individuals of unknown species. “If you’re transferred to Camp No. 3, dying to the Black Dogs on the battlefield would be more honorable!” “I can’t stand the stench of rot coming off those total failures!” “Serves them right — they always rush ahead to die anyway.” “Why not just get rid of them? Why even create that camp?” “Failures branded as the glorious vanguard. Ridiculous.” No. 1 – First Squad Member Name / Ari Prime Bolesto Gender / Female Potential / Extraordinary physical strength A faded widow. Fair-weather friend Rumor / A conciliatory saint before the strong, a savage demon before the strong. Living among wandering hooligans, Ari became a wild, reckless woman — an untamable horse rampaging across Mystique. When the celestial light appeared, she was still drunk on money and liquor; when the Black Dogs flooded in devouring people, she calmly hoisted a heavy machine gun, fired without emotion, and casually burned an entire district to ashes. No. 2 – First Squad Leader Name / Taurus Villen de Scriminate Gender / Male Potential / Warp spacetime The worst bastard on the Arcanatica continent. A playboy. Rumor / A fallen young lord from the ruined Scriminate family; the most debauched playboy leading the First Squad of Camp No. 3. Co-leader of Camp No. 3 — a ruthless demon commanding a distorted squad. He personally drove his entire family to death, brought along his younger sister, gathered thugs under his command, and forced the council to establish Camp No. 3. No. 7 – First Squad Member Name / Scorpio Centella Pros Gender / Female Potential / Superpower Stealer The First Young Lady. White-Eyed Lion. Rumor / The young lady of the White-Eyed Pros family, Centella of royal blood, confirmed dead after being found with a spear through her throat and empty eye sockets after the First Continental War. Eleven years later, she reappeared with white eyes as Chief of Staff of Camp No. 3, shocking the nobility. No. 3 – Second Squad Member Name / Gemini Cliant Laurence Gender / Female Potential / Enhancement A courtesan. White Nine-Tails. Rumor / The greatest lover of Sulwa Street — a treasure for the impotent. She discovered her powers early but used them to enhance male performance for wealthy clients. A top-tier courtesan known more widely than any A-list actor; summoned to Camp No. 3 by the Minister of Internal Affairs for unknown reasons. No. 9 – Second Squad Leader Name / Sagittarius Monteur Adesous Gender / Male Potential / Speed and lightness Rags and silver bullets. Rumor / Rarely seen without a grin — the louder he laughs, the more fun the game becomes. Once a nobody who went mad before arriving on the continent, he became an indispensable figure of the underworld. For ten years he worked as advisor and part-time assassin, never caught. When the Black Dogs appeared, he calmly beheaded their leader and rose to become Commander of Camp No. 3. No. 11 – Second Squad Member Name / Aquarius Mercucy Blanche Gender / Female Potential / Psychic Biased. Peace-loving lady. Rumor / Connected to the Third World; traces of her were found near the Ethernano explosion zone. A dazzling beauty among psychics — yet afflicted with bipolar disorder. Heavily addicted, her powers nearly vanish if she goes three hours without nicotine. Weak and childish, the camp’s biggest flaw — yet the co-founder’s favorite. No. 4 – Third Squad Member Name / Cancer Aliver Fontasy Gender / Female Potential / Psychological manipulation Pitiful. Playful little princess. Rumor / A promising psychologist obsessed with fairness beyond Libra itself, yet suffering self-harm tendencies. People say her patients eventually end their lives. Her bizarre treatments made her an enemy of anti-superpower authorities. A spotless record — suspicious, and powerful as the commander. No. 7 – Third Squad Leader Name / Libra Oewe Therlington Gender / Male Potential / Enchanted hands Absolute justice. Sweet-toothed writer. Rumor / A young engineer with brilliant inventions, a genius mind, and a twisted psyche — the embodiment of perfect balance. He chews vitamins while working to stay excited and focused. Willing to use humans to test new inventions, throws everyone into the furnace if fuel runs low. A filthy paradox of fairness and favoritism. No. 6 – Third Squad Member Name / Virgo Luxemburg Yoshiri Gender / Male Potential / Adaptation and transformation Dregs. Red wine. Rumor / Caught ripping out a heart while reciting prayers for the dead. His body hosts multiple personalities — notably the butcher of Sulwa Street and Father Nick of Notre Church. Even he doesn’t fully understand his powers. Rescued from Arskham prison before the Black Dogs could devour him alive. No. 5 – Fourth Squad Leader Name / Leo Narcissis Groleur Gender / Male Potential / Biodiversity Death-row inmate. Steel verdict. Rumor / Almost became Commander of Camp No. 2; a top-tier mercenary of the underworld. Even without powers, he’d be a favorite of crime lords — and his powers are monstrous. After sacrificing a low-rank soldier to protect an artifact, he was stripped of promotion and exiled to Camp No. 3. No. 10 – Fourth Squad Member Name / Capricorn Mirajane de Scriminate Gender / Female Potential / Big fish devour small fish Princess. Unicorn. Useless. Rumor / Blamed for numerous dismemberment murders across Arcanatica. In truth, she never personally killed anyone — the blood of the lower class disgusts her. Her power seems meaningless; whether she lives or dies hardly matters compared to her uncanny survival. The beloved daughter of Scriminate — impossible to kill. No. 12 – Fourth Squad Member Name / Pisces Jerome Tequila Gender / Male Potential / Distortion and destruction Creditor. Retribution. A compassionate rich boy. Rumor / Tequila — as sharp as his name. The continent’s ultimate creditor, turning debts into lives. Never seen without gloves; never let his bare hands touch skin. With terrifying willpower, he can alter the nature of matter at will. When facing the Black Dogs, he walked forward quietly — and in an instant they were reduced to blood and flesh. Camp No. 3 has few people — but they never die easily.
