Department Store



The "Department Store" is a gigantic structure at the center of the 23d Ward of Tokyo which long ago served as a shopping mall before its security system went haywire, causing its robotic Mannequins to mutate into hostile bio-mechanical monsters that roam the store's now jungle-like interiors and guard the merchandise they once sold with their lives, thus turning it into what is now called a Wild Store.

History
Long ago the Department Store was a prosperous shopping mall of many goods, until its owner installed a highly advanced security system which ended up going haywire, causing all the robotic Mannequins that ran the store to become hostile and bring the store to ruin. For the next countless years, the robotic Mannequins began developing and the interior of the store became more natural and filled with plant life, the Mannequins then developed into bio-mechanical creatures driven by instinct and corrupted programing, capable of eating, hunting, breeding and even producing the merchandise they once sold from their own bodies upon death, but in higher quality than any technology in the outside world could ever produce.

In the present, the outside world has become a desolate poverty stricken wasteland where food and clothing are hard to come by and what little is found is in poor quality. The only source where these materials can be found in good quality is the Department Store, but because of its wild and dangerous nature few humans dare to go inside it, but those who do are known as Wild Merchants and they constantly risk their lives in search of these valuable goods.
