Those That Get in the Way

= Those That Get in the Way =

Kamimachi Street appears to be a chaotic and free downtown area, but there are a number of forces stirring beneath the surface. Where there are people, there are factions. They use each other, confront each other, and provide the hunters with a meal.

Ecstasy Alliance
A collection of stores and entertainment industry on Kamimachi Street. All the stores along his street can be considered as belonging to them.

They are responsible for many of the public projects, such as tourism urbanization, infrastructure development, property management, and hiring security guards.

There are also a number of entertainment facilities established jointly by the alliance, such as Pornocrat (p. 60) and HENTAI Street (p. 56).

The size and financial strength of the store determines its influence within the alliance.

The following six are the institutions that should be called the rulers of the Ecstasy Alliance.

Temple of Ishtar: Head of the Alliance. (p68)

Mamiya Hotel: The owner is the creator of the alliance. (P90)

Closel Baths: The oldest and largest recreational facility. (P84)

Oeyama Brewery: Oldest and largest entertainment facility. (P88)

Shinmachi Academy: unofficial affiliation. Influential. (P78)

Purgatory Arena: Newcomer. A conduit to other forces. (P62)

Naraku Port
A criminal network of port districts centered on the hidden port of the same name.

Hidden forces that only those familiar with the backstory can know.

Smuggling, piracy, and human trafficking are the main industries.

They have no overy power, but a very long reach. Purgatory Arena, Blue Keep, Squalo Financial, Black Coffin Hall, and others have a relationship of mutual use and convenience with the Naraku Port.

Countless small organizations belong to it, but the following three are particularly important

Otomo Sorin: Ruler of Naraku Port as a harbor. (p54)

Hanamaru Security: the ruling organization of Guillotine Alley. (P70)

Bernigroude: A gateway to further darkness. (P80)

Safer Environment
A global environmental protection company headquartered in Europe.

The company reclaimed the entire Kamimachi Street neighborhood and is the landowner of the entire area under international law.

Nevertheless, after a series of missteps, their influence in the Fallen Special Ward has stagnated.

Countless organizations have been established and occupied the land they own.

This is a situation where the private army group Blue Keep (P94) is used to repeatedly harass and maintain influence.

However, the overall size of this company and the number of employees exceeds even the Elixer Group. Do not underestimate them.

Anti Magic League (P50)
A group of thinkers who deny everything involving magic - witchcraft, gods, fairies, etc. It is a dangerous organization that has repeatedly committed dangerous terrorist acts in the past and has changed bases and gone into hiding many times.

Although the main activities of the group are now public agitation and demonstrations through speeches in the streets, there is no telling when they will carry out another terrorist attack.

It is supported by the Yae family (Corebook P170).

Squalo Finance (P48)
A de facto criminal organization in the name of a financial enterprise.

The company has a window at each betting booth on Kamimachi Street and controls its share of the financial business. They are the economic rulers who run the ruthless black market behind clean general finance.

Those who cannot pay interest and are ruined are destined to be debt slaves.

Hence, Squalo Finance is also the originator of Slave Square (P44), which also controls human trafficking in the area.

Goblin Market (P106)
A different world where mischievous fairies gather. The largest black market in the Fallen Special Ward They are hardly a monolithic group, but there are many people involved as well as Changelings and Witches. It should not be taken lightly.

Furthermore, Magical Street (P102) is the gateway to this other world and one of its forces.

Bondage Temple （P52）
A cult, preaching a distorted and oppressive ideology. A group of monks, who have nothing to do with God, are well-known for their bizarre priests dressed in restraints. It has permeated the wealthy and has an unexpectedly large number of followers.

It is at odds with Otomo Sorin, rather than with Naraku Port-.......

Black Coffin Hall （P96）
The outpost of the Night Party Cemetery (Corebook P153), located in the Labyrinth District.

It is a community of vampires.

Due to its mild and moderate principal, it has relatively good relations with other forces. Thanks to this, vampires can walk the streets with impunity.

The Bad Axes
A vicious looting gang controls the century-old fort (p. 32). They impulsively leave their bases and spread violence and humiliation.

They have bounties on their heads, but even if they are dealt with, another group will soon rise from the Twilight District, so they are left to their own devices.

Elix Group (Corebook P168)
It is the largest company in the Fallen Special Ward, but has little influence on Kamimachi Street. Nevertheless, it is doubtful that they will continue their non-interference in this city of increasing value as a tourist destination.

There are also a number of properties owned by this company in the Street neighborhood, including the Bioparticle Institute (p. 38).
