In 2027, the understanding and analysis of psychic powers has reached new heights. This has come at a necessity, for the population of Espers, those who possess psychic abilities, has only grown larger in recent years. Now, these Espers make up a significant precentage of the world's population, though they are not the majority of the human race. There has been research into the cause for such an explosion in the Esper population, but there are many other concerns as well.
With so many Espers who have a wide variety of abilities, law enforcement, too, must compensate for the potential dangers that this may pose. As a result, a recruitment drive has begun in many nations to position espers in the places that they can do the post to prevent such crime from occurring, and capture esper criminals. Special training has gone into effect for many law enforcement and military officials who lack such capabilities, as well. New technologies, too, have come to exist in recent years.
Resentment towards Espers, as well, has stewed in many places. Gangs have targeted lone Espers, and other groups have publicly stated their opposition to Espers.
However, others accept that psychic abilities and those who wield them have become a fact of life that must be accepted.
It is with this in mind that Japan formed Sector 108, also known as "PsySector". A special task force that recruits Espers in order to deal with a variety of Esper-related incidents, as well as other occurrences that may be difficult for regular law enforcement to tangle with. Psychic manifestation, high-tech terrorism, PsySector's existence is to counteract such threats.
But soon, PsySector may face its greatest challenges...

Basic Information:
[Technology]
- A variety of new technologies exist in 2027. Walking battle suits of varying size, from three meters tall to ten meters tall, robotic drones, garbage disposal bots, weather predicting supercomputers, a vast variety of new and exciting technology as been developed.
[Espers]
- Espers wield psychic abilites, which can vary vastly from the ability to read the past of an item by touching it, to projecting fire, to teleportation, and a vast number of other incredible abilities. Espers have faced both those who accept that they are a fact of the world that must be understood, and those who resent them and wish they would disappear. Esper abilities can grow in potency and effect, and some countries have established academies that assist Espers in understanding and controlling these growing abilities. Esper powers are ranked from One to Six, with Six being the most powerful. There is a theoretical Seventh level. The following list uses pyrokinesis as an example:
- Level 1: Extremely Basic effect, such as sparks.
- Level 2: Basic Utility, such as lighting a flame on the end of a finger.
- Level 3: Versatile Utility, such as lighting a sizable fire.
- Level 4: Broader utility and effective weaponization, such as generating sustained flame.
- Level 5: Broad Utility with many applications, such as lighting fires, sustained flame generation, producing exploding fireballs, putting out fire, and more.
- Level 6: Broad, powerful, versatile. Can control some temperature in addition to fire, such as cooling, and immune to any fire-based attacks on top of many fire and heat related abilities.
- Level 7: Theoretical Level. Multiple abilities are possible at this level.
[Shapeless Things]
- The buildup of psychic energy can manifest as what is known as a poltergeist, or a 'shapeless thing'. This are initially nuisances, moving objects around or turning electricity on and off, but as they grow in power they can become dangerous phenomena that can hurt or injure others. At a high enough level, a Shapeless thing can become a corporeal being capable of instinctive thought and the use of other powers beyond basic telekinesis.
