Age of Invasion

In 2010, thousands of cracks arose in time and space, opening portals to far-away galaxies and alternate dimensions. Through these portals, creatures came with godlike powers and nearly destroyed all of humanity in a blink. Nations of the Earth managed to survive and raise armies against the invaders. After more than a decade of war, when humanity had strengthened and taken back territories from the monsters, another apocalyptic event shattered the surviving dreams. An unnatural planetary eclipse amplified the energies of the portals, making things far worse than before; this is called the Second Coming.

Chimera

Every Chimera was once a human who volunteered to be part of the experimental super soldier program of the US Military. They underwent dozens of genetic transformations to acquire the strongest animal traits. Better vision, hearing, strength, and stamina. With tiny brain implants, they modified their aggression, boosted their reaction time, increased their pain threshold, and even enhanced their muscle growth. Their skin is strengthened at the molecular level, woven by nanobots from various ceramics. After all this, their bodies waited in suspended animation for the Second Coming.
Their creators taped the energies of the eclipse and infused the Chimeras with it, creating an army of supernatural mutants with unimaginable powers. They retained part of their humanity and personality, but they are no longer human.

Project: Codename Chimera

After the apocalyptic events of 2010, a soldier named Nantz, the hero of Los Angeles, took advantage of the support he received and started building Tartarus beneath the ruins of Los Angeles with Dr. Wat In a short time, the greatest genetic firm, Cellshaker, joined the project led by Dr. Wu. They immediately started their volunteer program, looking for subjects with aggressive and high survival instincts. The project’s success surpassed their wildest dreams.

Portals

Dimensional portals are cracks in space-time, doorways to other worlds. In 2010, nearly 200 portals opened on Earth, and three times more at the Second Coming. Portals vary in size and shape; some are open only for a few seconds, but some are open constantly.

Blight

Portals have a dangerous side effect, which we call blight. When a portal opens, the connected world starts to seep into ours. The biome begins to change, starting with the weather; alien flora and fauna follow, and it continues to spread until the portal is open. Transforms everything in its wake, except other biomes fueled by the portals.

General Nantz

General Nantz is the most decorated soldier alive in this era. He is the founder of Codename Chimera and the leader of the Chimeras, a military force of unrivaled power. He is skilled in tactics, a natural-born leader, and an expert in any kind of combat. He earned his medals fighting with extreme prejudice and effectiveness during the first two years of the invasion around the globe.

Uncle Wat’s Bazaar

Dr. Wat, or Uncle Wat, is an extremist genius scientist and the first Chimera. Wat is the sole survivor of an extremist occult group whose dark ritual one night brought about the apocalypse. Their intention was to borrow some mystical powers from an ancient god, but something else happened. Thanks to a club sandwich he had eaten that day, Wat survived the ritual by accident. Something inside that sandwich shielded him from that power and transformed him into something reptilian. He resides among the Chimeras, aiding his sons and daughters in the safe zone.

Uncle Wat’s Bazaar

Uncle Wat’s Bazaar is the black market of Tartarus. As in any extreme security prison, inmates cannot have any items of property
Their only source is the Bazaar, where the most valuable trade item is the Tartarus Fungi and the most sought-after one is Uncle Wat’s special dishes.

Tartarus Fungi

It is a rare type of fungus, actually a multi-dimensional fungus. It only grows near micro portals, and these portals only present for a short period of time. These micro-portals are more common around high-density sources of mystical energy, such as large portals or powerful supernatural beings. In Tartarus, where more than ten thousand Chimera live, this fungus is more common. Digesting it raw is extremely dangerous even for a Chimera, but the dishes made by Uncle Wat from these fungi are super useful for Chimeras who want to be stronger or faster.

Dr. Wu

Dr. Wu is the Chief Geneticist at Codename Chimera and an employee of Cellshaker, the company that made the US President. He is the proud “father” of all the Chimeras.

Templars of the Gates

The Templars are the soldiers of a new world religion, the Gate to the Greater Good. Initially, it was only a cult in Europe, but their philosophy found many followers around the world. They believe one of the portals will open Heaven’s door.

Chimera’s attributes

The Chimeras are silly yet extremely dangerous bio-engineered super soldiers of the future, created to hunt down alien threats.

Strength

This indicates how strong is the character and how likely it is to cause damage in deadly hand to hand combat.

Stamina

This indicates the character physical resilience against physical harm.

Reflex

This tells you how fast your character reacts in combat and other dangerous situations.

Intelligence

It represents how smart the character is, and it’s used for defend or further enhance mental attacks. This attribute is not used in the training grounds.

Health Points

Hit points show how much damage a character can sustain before it succumbs to its injuries.

Data Card

Each Chimera has its own individual set of attributes which are present on a data card. Here, we are explaining what the Attributes of War are, while the game rules explain how they are used in-game.

Token ID

This is the identification number of the character and the serial number in the series.

Character State Icon

It shows in which state the character is. Currently, there are Defender, Challenger, and Resting states.

Name

The Name of the Character. It can be changed by the owner freely any time.

There is two option to enter a Kill zone, one is to Create a Battle and enter the Kill zone as Defender, cautiously exploring the zone or as a Challenger who seeks blood and glorious victory. No matter which side you are comfortable with, the game goal is to win as many battles as you can and evolve your Chimera.

Create a Battle

The character who wishes to be a Defender creates a battle by choosing the Create Battle option or using the sign on the character data card. Creating a battle is an interaction with the game-controlling smart contract, and it cost a small amount of gas. After you approve the transaction, the character will appear on the kill zone list mixed with other Chimeras. On this list, all abilities, attributes, Token IDs, and even the image of the Chimera are hidden and remain hidden until a Challenger accepts the Battle. A Chimera who creates a battle remains in the state of Defender until someone accepts the Battle and resolves it.

Accept battle

Those who wish to play as a Challenger need only to choose a battle from the list and accept that battle. Accepting the battle is an interaction with the game-controlling smart contract, and it costs a small amount of gas. After you approve the transaction, the battle immediately begins. First, the hidden defender is revealed along with its defending power, then the contract calculates the challenger’s attack power. If the challenger’s attack power is equal to or higher than the defender’s defense power, the challenger wins. If the attack power is not higher than the defense power, the defender wins. To resolve a battle, the winner needs to claim their rewards. And remember, a chimera can be a challenger even if it is in a defensive state.

Claim

Claiming the rewards of a battle is an interaction with the game-controlling smart contract, which costs a small amount of gas. After you approve the transaction, your NFT is upgraded. The rewards for the defender and challenger are slightly different. If the Defender wins, its Stamina and Reflex Attributes grow. If the Challenger wins, the Strength and Reflex Attributes rise. In exchange for this, the loser’s Hit Points are reduced by one.

Death

When a Chimera’s Hit Points reach zero, the Chimera dies. You are unable to Create a Battle or be a Challenger using a Chimera with zero Hit Points. To raise a Chimera’s Hit Points, it needs to be in a Resting state or you need to give it a Treat.

Resting

By clicking the heart-shaped icon on the data card, the Chimera goes into a resting state. The resting Chimera receives 3 hit points every 24 hours. It can be interrupted at any time. Resting is also an interaction with the game-controlling smart contract, which costs a small amount of gas.

Treats

Treats are special dishes made by Uncle Wat. These dishes are highly effective mutagens which have an extremely positive effect on the Chimeras. Their use is not limited but some of these treats have limited use.
