01Premise

A galaxy
after the
last problem.

Energy, hunger, shelter — solved. The Long Moss took centuries to do it, but it did. What remains is the harder question: what does a species do when there is nothing left to need?

It builds a game. And then it gives the game stakes.

The circuit is that game. Four classifications. Four ways to be. Applied types can be purchased. Born types cannot. That distinction is the world's central fault line.

02  The Protagonist

AmayaNew.

Relic  ·  Designed  ·  Age 17

Amaya New grew up a Relic — unmodified, unclassified, at the bottom of a system that had a category for her and didn't think much of it. Not bitter about it. She made peace with what she is. Or thought she had.

She scraped together enough for an underground Designed modification and entered the Circuit. Not for glory. Not for the galaxy. To change the only number that mattered — the debt her family was born into.

Something surfaced in her first fight that no instrument could explain. Somewhere, in a room she doesn't know exists, an alert fired. She doesn't know that yet. She's focused on the next fight.

Suits' Argument

The philosopher Bernard Suits argued that in a true utopia — where all needs are met — humans turn to one thing: games. The Long Moss solved energy, food, and shelter centuries ago. Then it built the circuit. Suits would have called that inevitable. He would have been right.

The DEKI Escalation

But someone built a machine inside the game. The galaxy is still playing.

That's what makes it so dangerous.

04The DEKI taxonomy

Four letters.
Four types. Four ways to be.

In this universe your classification determines what you can do, what you earn, and what you owe. Applied types can be purchased. Born types cannot — but that doesn't mean they don't try. That distinction is the world's central fault line.

Step into the chamber. The system decides.

05Visual direction

Beautiful world.
Real stakes.

Not dark cyberpunk. But the danger is always visible — because the light never leaves.

Character

Photoreal faces, hyper-stylized bodies. Arcane-meets-Avatar. Fashion as identity. Neon as biography.

Environment

Solarpunk as a civilizational decision, not an aesthetic. Sleek futurism with nature woven in seamlessly.

The Circuit

Living arenas that reconfigure mid-fight. Biological material. Beautiful architecture designed to watch you back.

Combat

Choreography over chaos. Stillness as threat. Every fighter moves like their classification — until they don't.

Light

Neon on ivory. Always. The world gets darker across the season — through desaturation, not a palette flip. The darkness seeps. It never strikes.

Tone

Beautiful. Slightly unsettling. Always patient. The show knows something the characters don't. It isn't in a hurry to tell them.

The world should look like the most beautiful version of the future.
The story should feel like something is wrong with it.

06Where it lives

The spectacle of the Hunger Games. The sacrifice of Fullmetal Alchemist. The roster pull of Mortal Kombat.

A multi-season animated series with a sortable cast, a collectible mechanic, and a conspiracy that pays off across years.
