%%* OneHitKill: Jericho's Diverger-conducting ability allows him to do this.
%%* PsychicLink: Basically what happens to True Conductors.
%%* RevengeBeforeReason: Jericho tends to charge right into sticky situations if it involves ELPIS. To be fair, his [[SuperpowerLottery Diverger-conducting ability]] makes him stick it out pretty well. Thankfully, when it gets tough the others manage to talk reason into him.
%%* {{Telepathy}}
%%* {{Teleportation}}: [[spoiler: Theta]] can do this although there is a [[EquivalentExchange price to pay]]. Although they usually use it for travel, due to a [[LossOfIdentity certain event]], they are now more inclined to use if for [[WeaponizedTeleportation physical combat]].

%%* GenderEqualEnsemble: The main six characters.

%%* BitchSlap: Delivered by Atienna to Cadence after the latter makes some very, very, very poor and selfish choices in Part 2.

%%* CloudCuckooLander: Maria. Just. Maria. And Veles too.

'''What would you do if your life, memories, and feelings were suddenly tied to another person?'''

''Six people. One life.''

A spoiled prince haunted by a ghost. A big city swindler with a knack for illusions. A cold soldier with a sharp eye. A pirate with a few screws loose. A chieftain’s bookish daughter with carefully bandaged hands. A peacekeeping agent with an eye for vengeance.

After simultaneously knocking on death’s door, these six find themselves psychically connected across national lines. Tensions rise between them and between their respective countries, which are recovering from a long war over the mysterious vitae—an energy source harvested and utilized in weapons and engines called conductors. Loyalty, memory, and sense of self blur as conspiracies encroach.

Assassination attempts, underground weapons dealings, border conflicts, tales of terrifying beasts, and a terrorist organization called ELPIS.

—Everything is connected. Nothing is coincidental. The spark has ignited…!

* LossOfIdentity: Played with in the mixing of memories and feelings experienced by True Conductors and [[spoiler: ELPIS]].

* BadassCrew: The main six, Werner's unit, [[spoilers: ELPIS leaders]], Gabrielle's group.
