Since the dawn of Mankind's innocence and subsequent fall, he has always sought dominion over that which lies beyond the perimeters of understanding. Always desiring more yet never satisfied, the endless cycle of gluttony in an eternal loop of irony. This unquenchable thirst for the taboo lead Man into discovering a force of change one that could transcend mortals from the restraints cast by Nature, Reality and Sanity. This malevolent force known as Alchemy which Man aimed to exploit so as to sever the chains of stagnation and usher in a self proclaimed golden-era, a utopia.
Alchemy is simply a harbinger of change by transmuting one's will and breathing it into existence, severing the chains of weakness but at a price. A basic principal dictates when something is acquired a compensation would be in order. Thus anyone who wielded Alchemy as the double edged blade it was, were doomed to sacrifice their very identity, their humanity. This self destructive force later on came to be known as the Insannadiction Effect and eventually became senseless monsters guided by their carnal desires.
How does one go about dealing with monsters? With other, bigger monsters of course!
And so the Alchemy Management and Restraint Organization (A.M.R.O) was born as a deterrent to turmoil and over the centuries it grew to possess a monopoly on Alchemic activities regaining order. The Alchemists who serve under A.M.R.O are called by a name that serves their purpose of combating madness, they are Asylums!
However now the tides are swaying, Behind the facade of peace storms are brewing with a feeling thatin that A.M.R.O is no longer the only organization of its kind.
You are Asylums and the journey you are going to embark will be but one of many, each unravelling a greater mystery and changing how you see this world.
