The FLIPSIDE is an alternate dimension, existing in parallel to THIS SIDE, or the “normal” world, and sits as one of the main focus points of VIOLENCE.

The FLIPSIDE appears as a mostly planar realm, with scattered areas which can be categorised into 9 large “biomes”. Proper exploration is extremely difficult due to the dimension’s intolerance to matter from THIS SIDE, as any objects that passes through is violently destroyed by the dimension itself, nothing left behind. This includes both animate and inanimate objects, and the speed and efficiency of the destruction scales inversely to the size of the object. Matter from the FLIPSIDE can pass between dimensions without any problems, and sub-species such as hybrids and half-breeds are somewhat immune to the dimension’s destructive effects, although it does still put a strain on their bodies.

The FLIPSIDE has a tremendously higher concentration of Anima compared to THIS SIDE, which is partly responsible for the large variety of lifeforms in the dimension and their unique characteristics, and means that phenomena dependent on it, such as the strength of Devils, are at their “base” level only in this dimension.

Passage between dimensions can theoretically be done anywhere with the right setup, but can most easily be done in the close proximity of or directly beneath a Dragon Vein, where the boundary between dimensions is weakened.
