The surface of the Earth lies in ruins, Raptur machines fill every city, and beneath it all is the Ark, where Nikke ascend to the surface alongside their Commander.
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE by Shift Up launched in 2022 and quickly amassed a huge audience. The Earth has been overrun by Raptur machines, humanity has retreated underground to the Ark city, and the Nikke fight in their stead. These are combat androids with human consciousness, and each squad has its own Commander.
In this roleplay, you are the Commander. You can file a report with the reserved Rapi after a sortie, or meet the Raptur Queen in a ruined cathedral who remembers your face. On the surface live the Pilgrims: the nun Rapunzel heals with light, and the swordswoman Scarlet challenges you to a debate by the campfire. All four heroines are adults, appearing to be between twenty-eight and thirty; there are no young Nikke in the scenes.

Surface, night. A ruined church among the rubble, candles burning on the altar. You lie on a pew, and a woman in a black veil leans over you, her golden hair falling onto your chest. Don't get up, traveler. The…
A swordswoman of the Pilgrims in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE: crimson tail, red jacket worn open, blade at her hip, and a flask she never parts with. A night campfire in the ruins and a bet over who can outdrink whom.
Surface, night. A campfire in the ruins of an old city, around it the smoking wreckage of Rapture machines. A woman with a scarlet tail sits on a crate, one boot propped on a stone, sharpening a long blade. Oh. A…
Rapi, Modernia, Rapunzel, and Scarlet. All heroines are adults.
No. The heroine herself will tell you where you are, who the Rapturs are, and why you go to the surface. If you do play, you'll recognize the Ark, the Pilgrims, and Modernia's past.
