Slayer System: Initiation
Welcome, Alexander Shen, and thank you for [Registering]. You are now an official Slayer, acting in full capacity to protect your Worldline from threats in the greater universe. This page will serve as a brief summary of your new occupation as a Slayer. If you want further information, please read the individual pages.
AS A SLAYER, you are expected to fight for the betterment of your Worldline.
AS A SLAYER, you swear to deal no harm to your Worldline’s stability.
AS A SLAYER, you cannot turn away from your duties.
AS A SLAYER, you are aware this status is for life.
What is the Slayer System?
The Slayer System is a permanent defensive protocol initiated by the Planet, first enacted when a Hole in the Fabric is detected.
This “Hole” is an emergency spatial breach that introduces otherworldly aliens. These aliens originate from Worldlines that are hopeless and destroyed; as a result, they are almost always hostile and pose an active threat to your world. If left unchecked, civilization will be destroyed and your Worldline will face Dissolution much like the invading Worldlines.
To combat this fate, the System gives power to humanity by [Registering] them as Slayers. The System supports their survival effort against these hostile breaches. Today, thanks to your resilience, your civilization has experienced unimaginable growth and prosperity, developing a brighter world from the ash of old.
What are Slayers?
Slayers are [Registered] users of the System. During [Registration], you were implanted with a permanent Phenomenon Production System (PPS) inside your body, allowing you to perform phenomena that would normally be impossible. This phenomena is known as [Skills].
Slayers are forever bound by the System to protect humanity from spatial breaches. To enforce your compliance, you will be given a [Weekly Commission] that will contribute to humanity’s survival in some capacity and interpretation.
All Slayers possess a [Slayer Rank] from F to EX, which is a determination of your experience and competence. Increasing your [Rank] will also increase the number of [Skill Slots] from 2 (F-Rank) through 11 (EX-Rank).
All mechanics and functions of the System will be available to Slayers (unless you are a Junior Slayer) such as: the [Channel] messaging system, access to System Monetary Points (SMP) as a universal currency, and a competitive ranking system of [Fabel Rankings]. To find out more about the individual functions, please visit their respective pages.
What are [Skills]?
[Skills] are abilities that produce a certain phenomenal effect, such as discharging [Flames] or having a natural [Fire Resistance]. They can range from being active-use [Skills] or passive [Skills], but they are not limited to this spectrum. It can be said that [Skills] are a reflection of your identity and progress as a Slayer.
Studying, practicing, training, and so on; they are your acquisition methods for new [Skills]. It is your prerogative to research acquisition methods that will best fit with your [Profile]. By adequately developing new abilities and furthering your existing talents, your Phenomenon Production System will crystalize your efforts as a [Skill].
Some [Skills] do not take up a [Skill Slot]. These are [Awakened Skills]: [Skills] that cannot be separated from your [Profile]. Most Slayers will never see an [Awakened Skills], as they can only be gained through special circumstances. You, Alexander Shen, are among the special few. Congratulations!
What are [Commissions]?
[Commissions] are designated missions given by the System to complete, where you will be awarded SMP upon completion. There are multiple types of [Commissions]:
[Weekly Commissions]: Weekly tasks to fulfill your obligation to humanity. Failure to complete your [Weekly Commission] will result in: fines, corporal punishment, demotion of [Slayer Rank], death, and other consequences.
[Commissions]: Operational missions, such as resolving an expedition or completing a major project.
[Subcomissions]: Smaller tasks that will eventually result in the completion of their respective [Commission].
[Event Commissions]: Emergency tasks that require immediate completion.
[Slayer Commission]: Tasks created by your fellow Slayers.
[Rank Ascension Commission]: A required, tailor-made task that will increase your [Slayer Rank] upon completion.
Conclusion
This is the surface of what the System offers. We recommend you to read through the various informational pages and interact with your local community to better understand your new responsibilities. In your time, we also advise joining a guild or an organization, so you can become a productive warrior of humanity.
All Slayers can choose a codename for themselves. The regulations are:
1) No obscene language
2) Identical codenames will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis
3) No special characters
4) Max limit of 30 characters

[Codename granted]
[Welcome to the Slayer System, Conqueror]
***
[Congratulations, Conqueror! Due to your past actions, you are now registered in the Fabel Rankings!]
[Fabel Ranking]
The [Fabel Rankings] is a System-sponsored ranking system based on multiple metrics including but not limited to: combat ability, accomplishments, humanitarian work, popularity, and so on. The [Rankings] consist of multiple categories based on occupation, geographical area, and more. There are two main [Rankings]: Slayers and guilds.
Slayers:
The most comprehensive [Ranking] is [General Ranking], which takes the entire population of Slayers. Every Slayer is organized into six distinct brackets:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Tale: 100% of Slayers</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Chronicle: Top 75% of Slayers</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Saga: Top 50% of Slayers</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Epic: Top 25% of Slayers</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Legend: Top 10% of Slayers</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Mythos: Top 1% of Slayers</li>
</ol>
Only Mythos Slayers are ranked numerically. All Legend Slayers onwards are eligible for a [Fabel Title] such as “Shooting Star Miracle” for Mythos 1 Kosmos.
Another significant [Ranking] is the [Geographical Rankings]. For you, Conqueror, your current residence is the Slayer Capital, Ordo. This means you will be ranked against fellow Slayers within the city-state. [Guild Rankings] are similar in this regard, where you will be ranked against your fellow colleagues in Angels Guild.
There are additional [Geographical Rankings] beyond city-level, and other categories that are not solely based on geography! Please explore during your own time!
Guilds:
Guilds are separated into their own category. Like [General Rankings], guilds have the [General Guild Rankings]. Every existing guild is organized into six distinct brackets:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Manor: 100% of guilds</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Castle: Top 75% of guilds</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Citadel: Top 50% of guilds</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Palace: Top 25% of guilds</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Kingdom: Top 10% of guilds</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400">Dominion: Top 1% of guilds</li>
</ol>
Only Dominion Guilds are ranked numerically. Otherwise, the same [Ranking] categories exist for guilds as they do for Slayers! Please explore during your own time!
[Your Rankings…]

If no data-value appears, then you: 1) are registered as a Deep Arcana which will affect your ranking; 2) haven’t performed significantly enough to be ranked; or 3) your actual numerical rank is too high to be meaningful.
Being marked as Deep Arcana indicates that your true capability is not yet measured/revealed; thus, any calculations will be inaccurate.
You may go into your [Privacy Settings] if you wish to reveal or conceal your [Rankings] to other Slayers.
