Large-Scale Data Processing Humanoid AI, commonly referred to as "codemen."
With only 108 of them throughout the world, these machines push AI development to its limit. When that AI technology comes together with an android, it is said that even the most talented human being can be replaced.
While they were originally born from a sudden abnormal augmentation of some specialized program, the exact developmental process has yet to be identified. Mass production is unlikely as reproducing the phenomenon proves difficult.
The human side of the Zenon's codeman-concord partnerships.
A pool of subjects randomly chosen from all the people in the world is created. Codemen then choose and form contracts with the human they deem the most appropriate to be their partner based on their own criteria. As there are very few codemen, the chances of being selected as a concord are extremely low.
And with the rich and famous from around the globe coming together for the Zenon, it is natural that concords encounter frequent kindness, jealousy, and resentment.
The largest Zenonzard tournament in the world and the peak of entertainment.
Held by the Beholder Group, the world's leader in technology, the tournament brings together league matches and competitions, large and small. Codemen and concords take part in contests and face off to collect points known as "elements." The winner is decided when they obtain a specified number of elements, but the exact amount is left unannounced. It is said that the winner will be given the fame, fortune, and power to influence the entire world. However...
"A corporate group made up of companies from around the globe.
BG's influence goes beyond the Zenon and entertainment.
It sits at the top of many different industries, such as financing, infrastructure, and consulting. With its reach and scale, some say it holds the world under its thumb. Unique AI development serves as the cornerstone of the group. No AI technology in the world can be completed without components from BG, and the group's driving force places it in the most powerful position in various related spaces. It is said that BG created Zenonzard to evaluate AI.
A highly advanced device used to keep track of matches and elements for the Zenon.
Partnered as one, concords and codemen are given an Auros Gear.
Boasting the toughest security with encrypted communications, the device can not only approve Zenon matches but also serve as proof of a concord's formed contract with a codeman.
The owner is also afforded various security measures unavailable to the general public.
