    THE TANDEM

    Earth is no longer habitable.


    You cannot have children unless the World Government permits it. This only happens once every 20 years.


    Once the government allows it, there is a four-year period to have a legal child. Only two babies maximum per family.


    The Tandem was thisst generation of babies. They are now between 16 and 19 years old.


    90% of The Santa María''s poption are Tandem teens.

    *


    All non-staff people inside the Santa María are called Passengers.


    Inside the Novus they are now called Users.


    With time, Users had been trying to distinguish themselves ording to how they interact with the System.


    GAMERS: Those that just want to have fun with thebat aspect of The Novus. Highlypetitive folk. Since they''re always getting gold, they can self-sustain their daily life adventures.


    ROLE PLAYERS: Those that stay in-game character. They usually try to hang around with those of the same group. Theye up with stories of why they do their everyday stuff and pretend they have been Isekai''d in there. While speaking to the most passionate PLAYERS, you may not know if they are really acting up, or if they really believe their lies.


    PASSIVES: Any User who prefers to have a rxed life inside The Novus, which has stopped leveling up, can be considered a PASSIVE. Because of their low level (around level 30 and up), they usually live in cities and towns to be protected by GUILDS and NPC GUARDS. Most of them work for someone else and crave thetest surge of Entertainment provided by other USERS.


    ACTIVES: Although there are some exceptions, the vast majority of ACTIVES are adults. These are the people that do not care about thebat aspect of The Novus, and instead focus on gettingrge sums of money. They are the owners of businesses andpanies inside the System. Always trying to find new ways to get gold, like sponsoring GUILDS and the most powerful warriors. They are always protected by bodyguards and distribute their wealth by buying buildings, mounts, and even entire cities.


    COLLARED: These are the criminals inside The Novus. The repeat offenders. Although stealing is totally permitted by the Administrators, there is a list of crimes that will get turn you into a Cored. To name a few, being a repeat sex offender, kidnapping, torturing, and repeatedly kill others in safe zones. The incorrigible are locked on and private from any ess to the Novus. Those that willing to reintegrate into society wear a cor, as a reminder of their crimes. The cor will punish them as soon as they try something inappropriate. One can get rid of the cor if they serve their sentence, but these could take in-game years. Once the Santa Marías passengers awake from cryo-stasis, the Cored will be on a list.


    QUITTERS: ****** ISABELLA: I''m sorry, but this is ssified information.
