Hoshizora Reina — The Digital Witch
Faction: Hoshizora Zaibatsu
Goal: Transcend mortality through technology and magic—create “Eternity in the Cloud.”
Conflict: Torn between her public persona as a retired idol and her private ambition to break the old order.
Secret: She’s bound by a digital familiar — MIK0, a sentient spirit born from the collective desires of her fans, now feeding on psychic energy across the net.
“Our souls are just data, waiting to be saved. And I will be the one who saves them.”

Mizuhara Nobuto — The Human Tycoon
Faction: Mizuhara Zaibatsu
Goal: Perfect Project Amaterasu, a serum to grant temporary immortality.
Conflict: He fears both Kurogane domination and Hoshizora’s post-human vision; manipulates both sides for profit.
Secret: The serum works—but only by stealing life from others. He’s already used it once… on himself.
“In the market of eternity, everything is for sale — even the soul.”
