"I will NEVER let this happen again..." -Aries Donovan (200X)
---
This is one of my favorite bits of background lore, that the fun little combat gimmick is a counter measure to a long history of mass tragedies caused by people with too much power.
When the Gorgon Empire sends alien attackers to Earth, young cybermancers train the xeno within them to wield their BLOOD SPINE, and protect humanity.
Oz is a rookie at NAQC, seen as a weakling with a weaker spine, but he meets a fellow outcast named Matt during his first job as a bouncer, the first man to see his potential. As a powerful enemy wreaks havoc at the event, Oz is possessed by a second blood spine hidden in his soul. A dark god sealed within, a spine of the legendary Black Zero class, one that annihilates the enemy.
With this overwhelming power, Matt seeks Oz's help to stop the Gorgon Empire once and for all, and prevent a repeat of the Harvest Tragedy from years past, he won't let any more blood stain his hands.
