Welcome to Gaia! ::

Setting

Several hundred years in the future, the resources of the Earth runs out, and the progression of the human race has stagnated. The world is now divided into "Units". The key in this story is an object called the GAD. GADs have the ability to reconstruct materials while reacting to feelings of an organic life. The size and shape of the resulting product seem to be different depending on the kinds of feelings that the life possesses. When You come in contact with one, it transforms into a huge robot--a Techode, or "Iron Giant".

Known in the Gad Guard world only as "powerful stones," everyone desires Gads and believes that they can fulfill people's dreams. However, each corrupted person to handle a Gad soon comes to realize the nightmares hidden inside them. Though the real importance of a Gad is unknown, they are used as very high sums of currency and are usually only owned by the rich in the color-coded sectors and units. A Gad has many peculiar abilities and can take shape into a number of things depending on the personality and thoughts of the owner. These creations are separated into three groups: Techodes, A-Techodes and Gadrians. Upon a Gad's transformation into something, all metal and most other material around it are violently absorbed and used as a base for the final product

Techodes

A Techode is one of the three things that sprout from a Gad, and is also called a "Gadrian" occasionally by characters who aren't aware of the differences between the two. It usually takes the form of a large, humanoid robot roughly 20 feet (6.1 m) tall fueled by the emotional bond between the robot and the owner. These robots are "born" after contact with the Gad's owner while they're having a strong or serious emotion in an area occupied by a lot of metal. On other occasions Techodes have taken the shapes of humans, objects and other things depending on what sort of emotion or will the owner imposed on a Gad.



An A-Techode is a manifestation of one's greed or lust for a Gad. Most Gads take the form of A-Techodes, Techodes being very rare. They generally take the shapes of chaotic-looking monsters and are formed in the same way Techodes are.



A Gadrian is what is formed when feelings of hate or greed completely consume the owner of a Gad, and likewise, the Gad itself. The Gad then absorbs these thoughts of greed and anger, usually killing the owner of the Gad and creating a monster, organic in nature with technological modification. A Gadrian's creation can also be the result of a Gad falling into the hands of someone without any kind of strong, impacting emotions or intentions, such as a young child. The result being a sentient manifestation of whatever the child was thinking about at the time.
