- Persicaria's cat ears aren't just for decoration. They filter out extraneous signals.
- Antonina can break past the firewall of large corporations in an instant, and can catch other hackers doing the same just as quickly.
- The ermine that Simo created a simulation of in the cloud, Sako, actually exists in real life.
- Sol's two blades, Arvak and Alsvid, are named after the two horses in Norse mythology who pull the Sun God's chariot.
- Croque's mech, Aegis, was originally to be Svarog Heavy Industries' prototype for a round of military bidding, but eventually lost out to the Minotaur series produced by Sangvis Ferri.
- Evelyn broke the records for the SWAT CQB department's simulated battle training.
- Zion can survive for up to 48 hours in areas with high radiation.
- Gin knows at least 160,000 drink recipes.
- The large optical lens that Fresnel carries boasts over 400,000 lumens, 4x that of the sun during summer in the northern hemisphere.
- Betty retains a large amount of feline-like behavior, including attacking with her claws.
- Centaureissi's housekeeping robot is called Sottje, meaning "chimneysweeper". Her own name originates from Sechsunddreißig, which is German for "36".
- Mai's balloon isn't just for show. It's equipped with all kinds of meteorological sensors.
- Imhotep is both a licensed veterinarian and surgeon.
- Since Abigail's signal compiler in her brain recognizes dog barks, she can effectively communicate with dogs.
- Bonee's shield looks like a ribcage, but it's actually a 3D-printed shield of macromolecular materials.
- Kuro once posted 309 messages in one minute. Of those, only 52 were not censored, and all 52 of them were filler words.
- It is rumored that Aki can cut bullets fired at him in half.
- Max has five separate sockpuppet accounts on the Oasis forums to spread gossip. After a flame war with Kuro, it went down to one, but now she's gone back up to seven.
- 50% of all the gossip Willow finds in the Oasis cannot be printed for various reasons.
- Everyone likes playing "Billionaire" with Lam, because she always extends a helping hand to the unlucky.
- 42Lab: Renowned large-scale scientific research institute that is also leading the way in artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
- Svarog Heavy Industries: Large enterprise that has made extensive contributions to the manufacturing, energy, and military defense sectors. Possesses a staggering level of influence.
- Universal Anything Services: An enterprise which occupies the lion's share of the global doll market. Its business endeavors extend to every aspect of daily life.
- Cyber Media: A newly-emerged international entertainment & media enterprise. Its business endeavors include films, animation, talent show competitions, social media, video games, traditional news outlets, and more.
- Ultimate Life: A pharmaceutical company on the rise. They have a massive influence in the fields of genetic engineering, biopharmaceuticals, and neuroscience research.
- Exiles: Under the leadership of the Professor, a group of dolls stranded in Magrasea have formed a group called the Exiles. They have one goal: to survive and find a way back to reality.
- Sanctifier: To protect the Magrasea super-cloud, 42Lab has created an AI program. Dedicated to upholding stability in Magrasea, this AI eradicates any and all looming threats.
- Sanctifier: Sanctifiers are divided into greater, intermediate, and lesser levels. The Greater Sanctifiers possess comparatively higher authorization, whereas the intermediate and lesser ones are responsible for actually carrying out all actions.
- Agent: All AI programs located in the Magrasea are given designations such as Resident Agent, Sanctifier, Doll Neural Cloud, etc.
- Magrasea: All major enterprises store their key information in 42Lab's cloud server, which services the entire world.
- Oasis: The sector of the Neural Cloud Project activated by the Professor doubles as the base of operations for the Exiles, and a home away from home while in Magrasea.
- Neural Cloud Sector: The area where all cloud-related planning data is stored, as well as where all item testing is carried out. After the Wipe-off Incident, all contact with this sector was lost.
- Magrasea Knowledge Base: 42Lab conducts cutting-edge AI research projects in the Rossum, which is all managed by an agent dubbed Turing.
- Cyclopes: All of the data which Svarog Heavy Industries has stored in Cyclopes Sector. Includes all information regarding military affairs and other confidential files not meant for the public.
- Helios: Helios Sector is where Svarog Heavy Industries conducts simulations related to their new energy plan. Igniting the Arche Pyr is the ultimate goal of the project.
- Enigma: Enigma is an area specially reserved to house ENIAC, the quantum database constructed by 42Lab. Its data storage capabilities surpass that of all other sectors.
- Pierides: A majority of the data in Pierides is uploaded by artists and non-profit organizations. The sector's operand is by no means substantial, nor are the number of resident agents.
- Reverse Babylon Tower: Reverse Babylon Tower is the core area of Sanctifier. Inside the tower, the Pantheon contains the illustrious wisdom module known as the Sacred Canon. If a Sanctifier is killed in action, it will be resurrected here.
- Null Area: Located outside the sectors, Null Area is currently an unadministered area. Data storage is close to zero, and there is very little else to be found here.
- Neural Cloud: The large-scale research projects being conducted by 42Lab aim to make backing up one's Neural Cloud data to Magrasea a reality.
- Wipe-off Incident: An accident that occurred during the testing phase of the Cloud Project resulted in the entrapment of many Doll Neural Clouds inside Magrasea.
- Isolation Wall: In the past, Cyclopes Sector erected a towering wall to cut off all of the monitor and battle agents.
- Arche Pyr: The Arche Pyr is located above the Helios sector. Lighting it is the collective goal of all the resident agents in the sector.
- Court of Art: The resident agents who guard Pierides have turned the area into a luscious art garden.
- Quartz: A translucent and stable crystal that gives off a tangerine luster. In Magrasea, naturally-formed quartz is a precious commodity, and is often used to create the core processors of various large-scale data processing devices.
- Quartz Sand: Powdery orange crystals which are the by-product of quartz processing. Despite this, they are an incredibly valuable item. Data chips created out of high-quality quartz sand often are significantly more powerful than competing products.
- Neural Fragment: After the Wipe-off Incident, the Neural Clouds of the dolls were scattered to the winds. During this process, fragments of them were separated from the core.
- Diggcoin: Diggcoin is the main currency utilized in Magrasea, and can be used for all forms of transactions.
- FUNCTION: While exploring the sector, there is a high probability of running into fragments of code. They can often produce unexpected results, so put them to good use.
- The Traders occasionally collect mysterious neural fragments. After establishing trade with the Oasis, the Traders have begin using these fragments as exclusive rewards for clearing Exception Protocols.
- Neural Kits: Highly interchangeable raw materials which can be formed into a Doll's neural fragments. With the appropriate Doll's neural core, one can use these kits to restore the neural cloud of the Doll in question.
- Glitter Chip: Solidified operands found while performing Vulnerability Checks on the Oasis. They have extremely high information density and are excellent materials for making mobile terminals.
- ENIAC's name comes from the world's first computer, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer).
