some stuff on the Detective Dana au

mainly the backstories and some other explanations

Detective Dana takes place in a slightly more modern version of the Ys universe, in Keissar, the capital of Romn. It’s a bustling city, with helpful forces of law, but the officers higher ups are much less friendly.

Dana: Originally from Grete(which in this AU is part of Romn), she’s the daughter of the local baron and of the Iclucia family. Recognized for her academic talent, she received a scholarship to study abroad in Garman, where she befriended Laxia. Right after completion of her studies, she recieved notice that her father had died in an accident in Romn, so she went there for two reasons: to pay her last respects and to set up business there after hearing rumors of increasing numbers of mysteries there.

Hummel: Dana found a man stumbling near her office building after curfew, hurt, so she did a bit of bandaging and sent him on his way. Some days afterwards, Hummel showed up and pretty much asserted himself as Dana’s assistant. Dana’s pretty sure he’s the same guy as the one she patched up earlier, but she genuinely thinks he’s taking himself way too seriously in terms of repaying debts. He’s very efficient at what he does, apart from times when he just disappears for a few days, so she eventually discards the thought.

Adol: Was the only one to respond to Dana’s request for extra help, so he’s now a second assistant. Bumbling and bookish, he’s the epitome of looking harmless, but Hummel is particularly on guard of him for some reason. Adol either doesn’t notice or doesn’t mind it. He also has deuteranopia.

Keissar Police Station: Also known as KPS, this is, well, where Keissar’s branch of police force works in. It’s still a local police force so it doesn’t have as much influence as it hopes to have. The Councillor is Silvia, known in the city as the “Silver Hawk” for her age, hair and yet-unparalled leading ability. First Chief Inspector, also the vice-head of the branch is Barbaros, who’s also from Grete and therefore knows Dana(he’s the only reason Dana isn’t shushed out of the station when she kind of dropped by). Other prominent officers include Kashu, Aaron, Calwin and Licht.

Titles:

“The Nameless Slasher”: A term that struck fear in Garman a few years back and Xandria before that, and has recently started to appear in rumors in Romn. Apart from the title holder’s status as serial killer and their tendency to leave their victims with line-like wounds and taunting notes, nothing else is known

“The Red”: An even more enigmatic title, no one knows the identity or role of this entity, except for reported appearances during mysterious events in several countries. Did they cause or resolve these events? Why are they called as they are? No one knows. Since rumors of this person appeared in Romn soon after that of the Nameless Slasher, people have started to speculate their relationships, even guessing that they are the same person.
