Back Story...
Many years age, an inscrutable and abnormal territory known as Hell's Gate appeared in Tokyo and Heaven's Gate appeared in South America, altering the sky and wreaking havoc on the landscape. The heavenly bodies disappeared, replaced by false stars. During this time, people possessing various special abilities emerged, each capable of different supernatural feats - these are known as Contractors. Each fake star has a corresponding Contractor, which reacts to their activities. As such, Contractors are usually identified by their star's Messier catalog number. Kept secret from the masses, these individuals are known to murder in cold blood, smothering unnecessary emotions with logic and rationale. Their incredible abilities, however, are gained at the cost of their humanity - Contractors are thus named because of an involuntary compulsion to "pay the price" each time their power is used, which can range from eating particular foods and completing meaningless tasks, to self-harm and having their bodies change in peculiar ways. Various nations and organizations around the world train and utilize Contractors as spies and assassins, resulting in violent battles for valuable objects and information.

Here and Now...
After the destruction of Heaven's Gate in South America and the near destruction of Hell's Gate five years later, The war between the contractors and the world dimmed down a bit. Soon, it seemed as if they had almost disappeared.

Almost.

Fifteen years after the near destruction of Hell's Gate, a new gate has appeared on the outskirts of Cairo Egypt. This new gate has been deemed Earth's Gate. A great doll profit has predicted that this new gate will lead to the end. The end of what is unknown, but may are lead to believe that it is the end of the world as they know it. Because of this, may organizations have cut all ties with their hired contractors and dolls and now have bounties on their heads. They war between contractors and humans seems to be coming to an end. Which side will prevail? And what does fate hold in store for the world?


What are Contractors & Dolls?
Contractors: Contractors are individuals who have gained superhuman powers due to the appearance of the Hell's Gate and Heaven's Gate. Contractors possess two other traits that give them a rather sinister reputation: the need to perform remuneration, which is a bizarre, obsessive compulsive "payment" for the use of their powers, and a generally pragmatic, Machiavellian world view. Contractors are capable of experiencing emotions, but that those feelings do not play a prominent role in their thought processes. They are described as being totally rational, and totally amoral. The general rules seems to be that they feel no guilt, and they cannot form or retain social bonds. A normal Contractor cares, in essence, only about their own well-being, and everything is reduced to a cost/benefit analysis: Any other issues like laws, emotions, or the question of the sanctity of human life are irrelevant to them.

Dolls: Emotionless "mediums" that were once human. Dolls can form a variety of functions; the most commonly seen in the series is their use of observer spirits, which serve as reconnaissance. Dolls have different mediums through which they can send their observer spirits and must be in contact with this medium while observing. A Doll can also act as the perfect sleeper agent. It can be given the memories and personality of another person and assume a person's personality perfectly, mimicking all their habits, dreams, and feelings until the time is right.
