🎬 Title
“NOT SAVERS”
📝 Tagline
“What we’re saving isn’t the world — it’s ourselves.”
🌍 Setting
In a world once on the brink of destruction, “saving the world” was revered as the greatest act of heroism.
But the heroes who fulfilled that role… most were broken, their minds shattered, erased from history.
As time passed, the Savior system collapsed.
Being a “Hero” was no longer a profession or title — just a cursed talent you’re born with.
This is a story of heroes who chose not to save the world.
🧙♀️ Characters
■ Rio Clea (Suggested VA: Kōki Uchiyama)
A former hero with the highest level of Savior aptitude, who fled before completing his destiny.
Now lives a secluded life with a cat in the countryside.
A cynical shut-in haunted by the memory of someone he couldn’t save.
■ Serena Alto (Suggested VA: Saori Hayami)
A girl who aspires to be a hero.
She seeks out Rio, not to push him to save the world, but to save him.
Pure-hearted but strong-willed, she never says “save the world” — only “I want to save you.”
■ Gairos (Suggested VA: Yūichi Nakamura)
A former hero who saved the world too many times and nearly destroyed it.
Now a cybernetic combat maniac who lurks in the shadows.
🧭 Story Overview
Episode 1: The Washed-Up Hero Returns
Rio lives quietly with his cat until Serena appears at his doorstep.
She tells him the world is in danger again, and pleads for his help.
He replies bluntly:
“Then someone else can save it. Not me.”
But the arrival of a “ghost of the world” at his home…
turns the gears of fate once more.
