Every tide hides a mystery.

Riptide

3677

A thousand years
after the Great Pacific
Rift, the Philippine Archipelago is home to a
thriving planetary civilization.

The New Year Storm

Then came
the storm.

As 3676 became 3677, a violent New Year storm struck the Ocean District.

Now people are dying.

Crimes are rising. People are disappearing. Strange energy anomalies are being reported.

EAGLE’s Ocean sector outpost has assigned the investigation to Riptide Alpha.

The water is beautiful. Something beneath it is not.

The Ocean District

The Ocean District
is a world shaped
by water.

A thousand years of adaptation transformed the Philippine Archipelago. People live with the sea, study it, travel through it, and test its limits.

Island communities.Coastal cities.Reefs.Caves. Marine laboratories.Surf culture.Bioluminescent waters.Advanced infrastructure.

EAGLE

Across the districts of the Imperium, EAGLE investigates crimes, unexplained phenomena, advanced technology, and incidents involving humans and Gliders.

At the Ocean sector outpost, Riptide Alpha handles the cases that resist simple answers.

Rudy Ray

Code Name: “Mako”

EAGLE · Riptide Alpha Unit

Rudy Ray Aragon is a Fleet-origin immigrant and a naturalized citizen of the Imperium.

The Ocean District became home. The waves became familiar territory.

Confident, restless, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, Mako brings instinct, Kuntaw, and improvisation to every case.

Some people call him Chip. They mean it as a slight.

Agent Li

Charlie Chase

Code Name: “Thresher”

EAGLE · Riptide Alpha Unit

Charlie Chase Salazar is an Imperial-born Glider from the Forest District, raised under military discipline.

His family trained him for distinction. When he could not wield his ability, he fell from grace.

For cases that refused ordinary answers.

Mako

Followed instinct.

02 · Evidence analysis

Thresher

Followed evidence.

They chased the same waves.

They read the world differently.

The difference became their method.

The Partnership

They’re partners.
They’re surf-bros.
They’re EAGLE.
They’re Riptide.

Mako and Thresher trace the undertow beneath every case.

Two agents.Two very different histories.One shared coastline.

The World They Inherited

From one world,
two futures.

Humanity survived the Great Pacific Rift. Those who stayed and those who left rebuilt along different paths.

The Imperium

The Imperium stayed. It rebuilt Earth and over centuries, grew into a planetary civilization through adaptation, integration, and stewardship.

The Fleet

The Fleet left Earth. Its societies dispersed across the Solar System, and their descendants became separate civilizations shaped by isolation, hierarchy, and control.

Gliders

Some humans possess extraordinary abilities. Every ability has a consequence.

Technology

AI, robotics, autonomous systems, advanced weapons, and specialized equipment shape everyday life.

Discover Riptide
