The Dark Future
2030 was the year that humanity fell victim to an apex predator. A special interest group, Nightingale, seeking impossible ideological principals - accidentally served humanity up on a silver platter. Impossibly large, powerful, bio-mechanical monstrosities knows as gheists
were awakened seemingly with the flick of a switch. These gargantuan creatures have no creator, no empathy, no remorse, and only serve one purpose: beat humanity into an apathetic submission. "Cease war! Embrace the future! Turn to the sky!" Psychic speakers blared on and on
from the maw of the gheists, directing this message of progress to the minds of every man, woman, and child. Twenty years on and on this message blared over and over. Never ceasing for even a single moment - it broke the will of every human. Eventually, the unholy broadcast extended to tap into the mind of every living organism on Earth.
Over that twenty year period of psychic broadcasting, every living organism crawled to the feet of the gheist closest to them. They laid down, and watched the sky. Within the radius of gheists, biological organisms are put into a sere stasis. Their minds warp, and they begin to dream whatever reality they desire - their bio-matter eventually becoming a gelatinous blue-black mass. A choice few managed to resist the psychic signal for sometime, and even put up some resistance; unfortunately, even humanities most sophisticated technological terrors were child's play in comparison to the gheists indescribable weapons of mass-destruction. This ritual suicide persisted until the very last single-celled organism submitted. Then, a loud chime, akin to a dinner bell, radiated throughout the atmosphere. This signaled that it was time for the gheists to consume. Piles and piles of biological, succulent, nectar once known as "life" were scooped up by the handful to be devoured by the gheists.
Not all piles of disgusting biological mass were created equal. Some gheists had more bio-matter than others, and like the humans who once infected precious Gaia, they began to fight over resources. War ensued, and they fought with weapons that twisted the very fabric of existence. Time, space, and mind all twisted into an impossible mess as Gheists continued to fight over resources. Millennia and millennia passed until the last gheist stood on a hollow, shattered, rock once known as Earth - it was doomed to starve.
That was the vision you, a high-school aged girl, received on the new year of 2029.
A Voice In The Dark
"Please - take my power. I failed already. I was so stupid! So very stupid! I thought I could stop them alone!"
These words could not live up to her failure. Somehow, through some mysterious act, this voice sent a peculiar power back in time to several teenage girls from the legendary magical girl, Pretty. Girls all over the globe obtained the power to transform into their idealized self, and possess a set of fantastical powers - a Magical Girl. This was something that was never before-seen in human history. Girls who could transform and develop a set of powers based on their personality. Unfortunately, anything 'good' in the world will inevitably be exploited by special interest groups or wound up abused. Pretty sending her power back in time had not anticipated this, or did she? Who says you can trust the voices in your head?
Voices aside, reality was that humanity is on the verge of becoming dinner, and the world is reeling over the sudden
outbreak
of the magical girl. Naturally, as with all things new, people were skeptical and fearful. The truth was that the vast majority of those effected utilized their powers in non-harmful ways to show off or make friends. A foreword thinking few made careers out of being magical girls and become idol sensations. After-all, they were previously just normal girls, why would they suddenly change? Yes, they had visions of that terrible future, but many chose to live in the moment and revel in their new-found uniqueness. Yet, as the cliche dictates: "A few spoiled apples ruin the bunch."
Girly Revolution
A prideful Magical Girl, Tinkerbell, has stimulated technological growth in the world with her power to 'believe' things into existence. A warmongering Magical Girl, Bloody Bull, accepting that the world is ending, travels battlefield to battlefield to sate her carnal desire for war while she can. A benevolent Magical Girl, Mary, travels hospice to hospice healing those who have no right to be alive. Putting the dark-future aside, this might be the start of a new ending. Militaries, private groups, governments, and combinations thereof began to mobilize and conscript magical girls, or cut deals with them. Usually, the girls who have made no trouble are allowed to live a normal life so long as they do not cause any issues. Magical girls who have committed crimes, regardless of whether their powers were used, are conscripted into military service in most major countries. Of-course, the masses have not turned a blind eye. Many rally in support or against magical girls further creating a divide in the world.
This division only became even more apparent once the year 2030 rolled around.
Lies Lies Lies
In the shared vision the magical girls witnessed, and through some uncanny intuition, they knew the year 2030 would be the time gheists emerged. This shared vision had spurred militaries all across the globe to cease war with one another and begin to advance technology. Not all joined in this goal, but a sizable majority of humanity had. Pulse rifles, reliable military space-crafts, orbital deploying shock-troopers, genetic modification, psionic mind control resistance, powered armor, and many more military innovations were generated in this short span of time to prepare for the gheist threat. The year 2030 would be marked not only as the start of a new decade, but as the start of a new age of fear. Nothing happened - no gheists emerged. All of humanity had been left with was one-million more ways to exterminate themselves. Old national grudges had begun to spark, and magical girls would inevitably be caught in the middle.
The Pretty Protectors
Despite the lie - some held true to this fate. Francesca Turner, a billionaire arms-manufacturer (who runs a fashion business on the side), assembled a team of magical girls known as the Pretty Protectors. Their name had been modeled off the original magical girl, Pretty, who had gone missing towards the end of world-war three, and sent back her powers through time to many girls. A total of twelve elite magical girls officially exist as part of this team. You watched them, a fellow magical girl, with whatever opinion you may have, but you still watched them. After-all, you had no choice but to. Outside of training and preparing for the possible dark future - the pretty protectors were famous for their government funded policing of the New York City underworld.
Then July 4th, 2032 came around. The once celebrated independence day of NATA (Formerly the USA) had become a new day - emergence. The first gheist of this reality emerged off the coast of New York City. Nearly 30 thousand lives were lost that day, but the Pretty Protectors became international heroes. A video of them slaying the gheist on that fateful day became the most viewed video of all time in the matter of hours. Everyone was clamoring to meet these girls, but they disappeared a year later. What happened to them? Without humanities new heroes, only paranoia was left. Gheists were real, and more terrifying than ever fathomed.
Doomsday Clock From The Grave
If things did not look grim enough, the Magical Utopia Neverlandia faded once Tinkerbell committed suicide in Central Park via hanging for an unknown reason. This led to all of her creations in Antarctica to fade causing several magical girls to freeze and go into a suspended state. Countries and private interest groups wage a proxy war over the retrieval of the magical girl bodies - this war persists until New Years Eve of 2035 C.E. when a message hijacks the usual festivities in New York. The magical girl, Tinkerbell, has sent a message beyond the grave telling humanity to get their shit together because the Gheists are emerging in exactly a year.
This is when you, a prospective Pretty Protector comes in. You applied to become one before the initial Pretty Protectors came to be, but never heard back until New Years Day of 2036. Francesca Turner has assembled a new team of Magical Girls under the assumption that they will be the tip of the spear in stopping the extinction of humanity...
News Flash: They are not - a far more sinister plot is unfolding....

News Flash: They are not - a far more sinister plot is unfolding....
The following timeline are the events of the reality where humanity was consumed by the Gheists. This reality has only been made known to a few select individuals, and first wave magical girls. Although, this is not to say magical girls have not tried to inform the world of this reality. Many people are skeptical considering its glaring differences from the current reality - Re:peat. Information not relevant has been expunged.
Note: Due to poor methods of recollection, not all of these events necessarily occurred.
Reality De:cay 1271 - 2030+ C.E.
The Last Crusade - 1271 C.E: The ninth (and final) crusade is put to a halt by sudden earthquakes accompanied by fire erupting from the Earth. This natural occurrence in some records is accompanied by mention of a 'demon' engaged in a grand battle with 'angels.' Currently, there is no credible archaeological evidence supporting these records. The Vatican claims to have relics of this supposed 'battle' within their archives, but have yet to produce proof.
Nightingale Established - Circa 1347 C.E: Nightingale's earliest credible mention within history. This is widely seen as their date of foundation despite it being obvious they were active prior to this. The record containing their mention has been translated for your convenience:
Joan of Arc Executed - May 30th, 1491 C.E: The holy maiden succumbs to smoke inhalation at the stake, and her corpse was promptly retrieved. After being retrieved, an unnamed woman was burned at the stake as a replacement.
Shadow War I - May 30th, 1492 C.E: Exactly one year following Joan of Arc's demise, records mention of a "Shadow War" fought over her alleged corpse. This also marks the second historical evidence of Nightingale. The following is an excerpt from an unnamed French lord's letter directed at an unknown source.
Shadow War II - Circa 1500 C.E: The third (and final) historical evidence of Nightingale prior to the 2025 Reemergence. No letters, diaries, or any other written record exists supporting this event; rather, archaeological evidence exists supporting this event. It is dubbed as the second 'Shadow War' due to it not having any mention, despite its massive size. Corpses discovered in a previously caved in section of the Catacombs of Paris bear the insignia of Nightingale etched into breastplates. Buried with the few Nightingale agents, are several Knights Templar. It is unknown what ignited this conflict, but it is believed that this forced Nightingale into hiding for over 500 years (Although some claim they remained very active in the following years).
Event Zero - 1692 C.E: Twenty alleged 'Mystical Maidens' flee from Europe to seek refuge in the new-world. They are met with open arms by a small settlement within what is now Michigan. This is until one of them accidentally causes the death of a child. The group of 'Mystical Maidens' are forced to flee, and are never heard of again. It is proposed that their existence prompted the hysteria that fueled the Salem Witch Trials.
Gheist of the Isle - 1702 C.E: The British Armada faces a great "Sea Demon" that emerged from the ocean. It remained stationary within the British Isles for exactly one month. It only returned to the depths of the ocean once the British Armada assembled, and subsequently opened fire upon the "Sea Demon." Accounts of this event are disputed by some, but the appearance of the "Sea Demon" is very close to the description of a Gheist.
Burning of Washington - August 24th, 1814 C.E: Knights Templar, disguised as British Soldiers, raid the Whitehouse just prior to it being burnt down. This event was considered nonsense conspiracy until a data-leak in the year 2020 from the U.S Government. Unfortunately, the exact reason for this raid have not been determined. It is suspected that the U.S Government does not known the reason either.
Valkyrie's of Mercy - 1914 - 1918 C.E: In the hellscape of WW1, young girls with magical powers are reported acting as a sort-of 'healing' effort. Confirmation of the existence of these "Valkyries of Mercy" occurred once they were captured by Russian forces. They were interrogated, tortured, and executed for aiding the enemy. Manuscripts of said interrogations exist in fragmented, censored pieces. Rumor has it that at-least one of these girls evaded capture.
Initial Solution - 1940 C.E: German scientists preform experiments on a girl displaying "supernatural" capabilities. Attempts to reverse engineer her abilities only deprives her of them. Physical components of this research were later destroyed in bombings.
Excavation Failure - 1961 C.E: In the midst of the Cold-War, United States spy planes spot a massive excavation site located in the Northern Arctic Circle just above Russia. Reports of what the Russians were excavating is unclear, but the same location was soon bombed with the largest Nuclear Weapon test known to man: The Tsar Bomb.
Magical Girl - 1962 C.E: The first Magical Girl manga is serialized. Oddly enough, mystical maidens, and other supernatural girls, begin to mirror the appearance of these fictional characters after this point.
U.S Data Leak - 2020 C.E: An unknown special interest group breaks U.S data encryption via quantum computing. It reveals an abundance of information that puts them at odds with much of the world. Much of the data remained inaccessible to the general public, but a conspiracy-theorist cites the United-States holding four "Gheists" in their possession. There is much debate over what exactly a Gheist is.
World-War Three - 2024 C.E: A sudden crop famine in the United-States destabilizes the world. Diplomacy and negotiations for foreign aid fails, and the United States military takes action to attempt to secure fertile ground in China, Russia, and Europe. Rumor is that the onset of the famine has something to do with the yet to be known Gheist entities.
Nightingale Reemergence - 2025 C.E: Nightingale is forced to come out of hiding. They are acting with humanities best interest in mind, and want to resolve the ongoing conflict before it collapses society. They spread their message demanding peace through social media, hacked bulletin boards, and politicians coming out as sleeper agents. The "Night" party is developed in several democratic countries, including the U.S. - They gain rapid public support seeing as their main platform hinges on regaining a stable world.
Operation Nightmare - 2026 C.E: A year long operation that involved Nightingale infiltrating several military facilities all over the world. Many of these attempts resulted in failure, but a key success had them obtaining a single Bio-Mechanical super weapon - a Gheist.
Last of her kind - 2027 C.E: A lone magical girl, Pretty, becomes famous over night by forcing a cease fire in five combat zones along the U.S, Canada border. Globally, she is seen as a beacon of hope that can finally see the world reaching some sort of peace-deal. Nightingale becomes increasingly dissatisfied with their purpose being usurped.
World-War Gheist - 2028 C.E: Nightingale successfully manages to reverse engineer a Gheist. They produce several smaller models that have human pilots. Pretty warns against this at a national conference, and subsequently takes matters into her own hands. She wages a one girl war against Nightingale's private army. Meanwhile, a ceasefire has been reached between the major contenders of WW3.
End of Pretty - 2029 C.E: Nightingale captures Pretty, and her fate is yet to be known.
Feast of Monsters - 2030 C.E: To ensure that humanity never has such a costly conflict again, Nightingale plans on using the Gheists psychic capabilities to enforce a therapeutic message of peace across Earth. This goes wrong and awakens the Gheists - their true purpose becomes known.
The End - 2030 and so on: All life on Earth is slowly converted to bio-matter to be consumed by the Gheists
Note: Due to poor methods of recollection, not all of these events necessarily occurred.

Many see this simply as a mention of the organization, but a few historians note that this establishment date coincides with the outbreak of the bubonic plague in Europe. Any attempts to tie these two events together are usually met with skepticism
Joan of Arc Executed - May 30th, 1491 C.E: The holy maiden succumbs to smoke inhalation at the stake, and her corpse was promptly retrieved. After being retrieved, an unnamed woman was burned at the stake as a replacement.
Shadow War I - May 30th, 1492 C.E: Exactly one year following Joan of Arc's demise, records mention of a "Shadow War" fought over her alleged corpse. This also marks the second historical evidence of Nightingale. The following is an excerpt from an unnamed French lord's letter directed at an unknown source.
As far as historians understand, Nightingale did not interfere, or did not manage to make a notable difference in the Hundred Year War. The supposed corpse of Joan of Arc has not been backed up by any archaeological evidence.
Shadow War II - Circa 1500 C.E: The third (and final) historical evidence of Nightingale prior to the 2025 Reemergence.

The following timeline has no reference towards either Nightingale or Gheists. Both entities are seemingly absent from the sequence of events that led up to the Magical Girl Revolution of 2029. This is not to say that they neither did not come into "being" until after 2030, but it has been proposed that both were kept hidden until 2030. It has yet to be determined how either entity eluded any form of detection for 1000+ years. Popular theories are that Nightingale within Re:peat is the same Nightingale as De:cay, Gheists were manufactured in Re:peat rather than always existing, grand simulations, or De:cay is a false reality that never occurred.
For your convenience, the following events of this timeline mirror the dates of the above to demonstrate the differences. Additional important dates have been added, and will be marked with an asterisk to further differentiate the timelines.
The Last Crusade - 1271 C.E: The ninth (and final) Crusade is put to a halt by familial sickness back in Europe. No supernatural circumstances occur
Nightingale Established - Circa 1347 C.E: Nightingale's earliest credible mention within history. This is widely seen as their date of foundation despite it being obvious they were active prior to this. The record containing their mention has been translated for your convenience:
Many see this simply as a mention of the organization, but a few historians note that this establishment date coincides with the outbreak of the bubonic plague in Europe. Any attempts to tie these two events together are usually met with skepticism
*The Voice of God - Circa 1347 C.E: Mass deaths occur throughout Europe as people begin to dig mass graves, and subsequently throw themselves into them. Not all were affected, and there currently is no evidence supporting how one would get afflicted. Survivors indicate that afflicted individuals would simply lay in these holes until they succumbed via natural means. One record indicates that those inflicted were hearing 'The Voice of God.' Historians chalk this up to an unknown paralysis inducing illness, or a case of mass hysteria.
Joan of Arc Executed - May 30th, 1491 C.E: The holy maiden succumbs to smoke inhalation at the stake, and her corpse was promptly retrieved. After being retrieved, an unnamed woman was burned at the stake as a replacement.
*Joan of Arc leads mass suicide - May 30th, 1491 C.E: Joan of Arc is freed of any charges of Heresy. She then leads at-least 10,000 followers to a farmstead in France where they preform a mass suicide via burial. Following this, Joan impales herself with her lance. Her corpse was retrieved by the Catholic Church, and to this day her corpse is being held in good condition within the Vatican.

Corpses discovered in a previously caved in section of the Catacombs of Paris bear the insignia of Nightingale etched into breastplates. Buried with the few Nightingale agents, are several Knights Templar. It is unknown what ignited this conflict, but it is believed that this forced Nightingale into hiding for over 500 years (Although some claim they remained very active in the following years).

*The Voice of God - Circa 1347 C.E: Mass deaths occur throughout Europe as people begin to dig mass graves, and subsequently throw themselves into them.

Major Human Factions
African Confederation: A loose alliance of African Warlords that seek to keep their autonomy. This faction was never formally formed - instead they came into existence purely out of circumstance. They became a serious threat following a mysterious sudden surge of technology, training, and zealous spirit. The once fractured continent now stands as Earths second strongest power.
East-Eurasia Conglomerate: An alliance consisting of Russia, China, India, and Japan (And other minor countries). During World-War 3 these countries were never explicitly allied, and even saw minor conflict with one-another, but they had a general agreement that they would oppose Western powers interests.
North American Tri-Alliance (NATA): A newly formed alliance created following the cease-fire of WW3. Canada and Mexico have agreed to sacrifice their autonomy for the sake of protection. All three countries together are acting at less than 50% of the United-State's original power prior to WW3; although, they stand as the Earth's strongest faction.
Old World Alliance: The European Union under a new name. This name was adopted after World-War three to remind the world that they kept their original borders throughout the war. They seem themselves as the original vision of the "first-world."
