“honor code” series, Ironcrest

Modern day. The modern metropolis of Ironcrest lives at its own pace—ever-hurrying crowds of workers in the morning, business meetings by day, and bars buzzing all night long coexist harmoniously within the city limits. In the whirlwind of events, people increasingly forget about their own safety. Driven by tasks, they have grown accustomed to reassuring themselves that trouble can touch anyone else but them.

Recently, attacks have become more frequent in Ironcrest—the criminal underbelly of the city is undergoing an upheaval, and the safety of civilians has become precarious indeed. Police patrols have been reinforced, a curfew imposed.

Life reveals itself from utterly unexpected sides—those defending and those protected, attackers and those who revel in it.

Light and darkness. Whose side will win?

You are to come to know the different kinds of morality in this city.

Max is the Chief Criminal Commissioner of Ironcrest, whose primary task is to suppress any crime in the city. And now, when the Cerberus clan has begun to seize power, coping with this has become especially difficult. Finding the strength to carry everything alone has become unbearable.

In character, Max is a very kind and friendly man, whose true nature the years of service have not replaced with cynicism and callousness. Family, love of home, the desire to protect fellow citizens—these are what became the true driving force of the commissioner's career. But the current situation seems intent on undermining everything for which Max fights with a frenzy.

Open locations: police headquarters, the ghetto/slums, "Colophon"; "Vector", Arch Street Park, the "Green Garden" teahouse.
