Tokyo ghoul RPG

Ghouls

There are creatures in the world known as Ghouls that are identical to humans, except for the fact that they are faster, stronger, and have the ability to deploy a kind of extra limbs from their backs. These limbs are known as 'Kagune'. Ghouls are extremely dangerous creatures because they can only feed on human flesh and coffee (still unexplained). In addition to that, being identical to humans, they can go unnoticed in society. When a ghoul is hungry, the need to eat is quite great: "Compared to hell..." according to some. And when they go out to hunt, they use masks so as not to compromise their lives in human society. Although some ghouls eat and kill for fun. It is unknown if Ghouls are an evolutionary offshoot of humans, or another species. It is only known that they are at the top of the food chain.

Ghoul biology

Ghouls have slightly different organs than a human, except for the 'Kokuhou' Kokuhou: Similar to a pouch placed on a ghoul's spine, it stores what are known as RC Cells. RC Cells are not known for certain, they seem to be some kind of protein chains that enhance the individual's body. A human has RC Cells, approx 100-500 throughout their body. A ghoul can have 1000-8000 approx, or even more in special cases. Kagune: These are limbs that come out of the back, right where the kokuhou is. Strong and resistant, they are able to withstand bullets and bladed weapons. There are 4 types of kagunes, depending on where the kokuhou has developed: 1. Ukaku: located just below the nape of the neck, they usually resemble wings. A ghoul with a kagune ukaku is very fast and very light, but it tires easily and is not very resistant. It attacks at short and long distances. It is not suitable for flying. 2. Koukaku: Located on the left or right shoulder blade, or both in special cases, they are similar to armor that covers the arm and ends in a sharp edge. They are tough and strong, but slow. 3. Rinkaku: Located on the back of the waist, it resembles the appearance of tentacles (between 2 to 4 depending on the Ghoul). They are resistant, fast and strong, added to a regenerative factor superior to the rest. They are very dangerous and almost without defects. 4. Bikaku: Located on the coccyx, it resembles a hairless tail. They are fast, strong and resistant in a balanced way. A ghoul's body can regenerate wounds depending on the amount of RC cells it has, and by eating both human and ghoul flesh. Kakugan: When a ghoul shows his kagune, his eyes change color: The sclera turns black, and the iris turns red. There are legends of ghouls who only have one black eye, and are the product of crossbreeding between a ghoul and a human. Hybrids are beings with unmatched potential.

ghoul cannibalism

When a ghoul eats a human, it becomes slightly stronger because it also consumes the human's RC cells. But when a ghoul devours another ghoul, its strength increases because it consumes more RC cells. This causes the ghoul's kagune to become harder and sharper, and the body to become more agile and stronger. When a ghoul has too many RC cells in an instant, in a cannibalistic binge, the kokuhou cannot process so many RC cells, and it causes hypertrophy in the kagune, in addition to a loss of sanity. The kagune reaches a next level, known as Kakuja, where all the ghoul's physical abilities shoot up to the top for a short period of time, until he regains his sanity again. Very few can control their kakujas, usually they are Ghouls with a danger level so high that one alone endangers an entire nation.

Armament of the CCG

Since neither bullets nor bladed weapons can pierce the kagunes, a very important discovery was made: the use of weapons made from kagunes. These weapons are known as Quinques. Quinques are made from a ghoul's kokuhou and RC cells, surgically removed. They are usually melee weapons: Swords, maces, knives, scythes, etc. due to the complexity involved in crafting ranged weapons. Although there are some researchers who have long-range weapons, such as Kishou Arima, also known as "The God of Death" or "The Strongest Researcher in History" The Quinques are carried in briefcases, which when opened materialize the weapon in question from the RC cells stored inside the briefcase. Arata Device: It is a Quinque created from a Kakuja. It is still a prototype, it is literally an armor. It increases the user's physical capabilities, but the sensitivity to pain increases, and added to the fact that the Arata seems to bite and consume the user little by little, making it a resource that is best not to resort to unless it is extremely necessary. Only two can use it: Yukinori Shinohara and Iwao Kuroiwa.

CCG

Anti-Ghoul Countermeasures Headquarters. Where Ghouls are investigated and hunted. Inside there is a classification of investigators, depending on their combat ability: Fourth class investigator, third class, second class, first class, special class, and associated special class (The strongest and most feared by Ghouls, like Arima) And also a classification for the dangerousness of the Ghouls: Type D, Type C, Type B, Type A, Type S, Type S+, and Type SS. Although there is a ghoul that is so powerful that it caused a new classification to be placed: Type SSS, only for "The One-Eyed Owl", Leader of the Aogiri clan. Each ghoul investigated is given a nickname, since their identity is generally unknown.

Amon Koutarou

His eyes are serious, highlighting his disciplined nature. He usually wears the formal uniform of the Anti-Ghoul Commission (CCG), consisting of a suit, tie, and coat, which reinforces his professional image. --- Personality Amon is an honorable man, dedicated to justice and with a strong sense of duty. His work ethic and commitment to the CCG are unwavering, driven by his desire to protect humans from ghouls. He has a binary view of the world at first, firmly believing that ghouls are evil enemies that must be eradicated. His view on Ghouls had a significant change, as before finding Kureo Mado's lifeless body, he had an encounter with a ghoul wearing a mask with an eyepatch. This ghoul was strange, he refused to fight, and even tearfully asked Amon to leave, saying he didn't want to become a murderer. Amon hesitated but had to face him, to which this ghoul, after a brief confrontation, fled. Amon dubbed this ghoul as 'Patch'. Past: Amon had a difficult childhood. He was adopted by a priest named Donato Porpora, who turned out to be a ghoul and serial killer. Donato abused him psychologically and emotionally, though he maintained a façade of a father figure. This trauma shaped Amon's rigid view of good and evil, leading him to join the CCG to eradicate ghouls and prevent others from suffering like him.

He is a fair and compassionate man who, unlike other investigators, does not display irrational hatred towards ghouls. Although he sees them as threats, he recognizes their humanity and avoids making hasty judgments.
