Introduction: Characters are REAL?
Characters have been officially created; they have been living among us for some time now. The incident that caused Characters to exist is unknown to the normal populace; however, there have been conspiracy theories to why they are in our world, and how they got here. People seem to try and ignore their existence, but it is nearly impossible to deny this truth: Characters are real; they no longer live in our imagination. The worlds of different animes have been linked to our world, so they can come and go as they please. These other worlds have been dubbed "Plains" by the governments, and the worlds within the Charactering Plains are called "Sub-Plains."
The Plains have gateways that lead into the other Charactering Plains or what has been labelled the "Material Plain," in which the Non-Characters live. Each gate has a messier code of two or three letters and a two digit number. The gates are closely monitored by the government, who took the "Charactering threat" serious enough to form an organization to control the Characters while they are on the Material Plain.
This organization is called the Global Coalition Government, (GCG.) Due to the fact that it is government funded; government officials were involved in the higher echelon. Then there are two other factions in the organization: the Global Charactering Police and the Global Charactering Suppression Unit. The government also have a surveillance unit to keep up-to-date information on the Plain Gates, in order to keep tabs on which Plains are in conflict with each other or to prove if a suspected Character was on the Material Plain at the time of an ongoing investigation.
The GCSU is to act as a militia team to destroy Characters if they've stepped over the line and have attacked Non-Characters. The GCP are supposed to be police and mediators between the GCSU, the Non-Characters and the two Charactering factions. The Characters responsible for the uprising of the Non-Charactering crime rate are referred to as "Rebels." They seem to collectively believe that the Non-Characters are beneath them, even though their impressive powers had come out of the minds of such "lesser beings." The other Charactering faction calls themselves our "Allies," earning their titles by co-operating with the GCP and the GCSU in order to co-exist with the Non-Characters as peacefully as possible.
However, after the creation of the Characters, the watching and distribution of anime and manga has been banned. No more anime conventions, cosplaying, and almost anything else an otaku would love to do. The otaku nation was, in fact, encouraged to become part of the GCP or the GCSU, in order to give intel on Character plots and abilities. Most of the otaku nation stayed neutral, hoping to gain favour from one of the Charactering factions.
The world as we knew it has changed, let's just hope it's for the better, Characters will be mankind's greatest achievement or just as equally, the ruin and eventual destruction of all the Plains.
A/N: For the record, I'm planning this as a five-parted series. You should be able to find all five if you look for Hellsing crossovers, and I'll always have the "book" number in the title; as you saw this one is Book One.
If you notice any spelling errors, I apologize. I have gone through this story multiple times, editing and re-reading to make sure. But I feel that I have held onto this for a long time and I want to share it. You are allowed to let me know if you find a spelling error, I won't be rude about you noticing. In fact, constructive criticism is allowed as long as it's not a generic immature statement. Flamers will not be tolerated, but I know I'll enjoy positive reviews more.
