Katana (刀, Katana) are inanimate androids fitted with weaponry designed for battle. They are operated by "kenshi", humans who transfer their soul into the android and operate them as if it were their own bodies. During this process, the actual body is left helpless. Because lots of the katana were eventually utilized for criminal purposes, the Anti Katana Crime Division was founded, using their own katana to combat these.
Overview[]
Katana were developed from an original project which would allow humans to transfer their souls into an inanimate container, so-called "androids", for construction and medical purposes. However, the technology was soon used to create battle-oriented androids, which were named "katana". Within the Anti Katana Crime Division, they are operated by professionals, named kenshi.
Each kenshi had a limit to how long their soul can remain fixed to their katana, transgressing this limit would cause the soul to start decaying within the katana. This is generally restricted to a few days maximum.
Characteristics[]
Being machines created for battle, Katana possess various superhuman abilities:
- Enhanced Physical Abilities: Katana are faster, stronger and sturdier than any human being, to the point it is considered nearly impossible for a normal human to survive a strike from a katana.
- Armaments: Each katana possesses certain "armaments", weapons or equipment they can activate within battle when they see the need to. There are several types of armaments, such as "sub-armaments" and "final armaments".
