Franxx Darling

Darling in the Franxx takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future where the remnants of human civilization have abandoned the surface. Adults and children exist in contrasting environments from each other. Adults live in technologically advanced cities within Plantations and are immortal, but procreation among them have become obsolete and undesirable. Artificially-created children, termed "parasites," are deprived of individuality and are educated only for piloting Franxx in pairs to defend humanity. The children are kept in isolation from adult society in environments nicknamed "birdcages," which emulate that of a bygone era so that they can develop the emotional responses required to pilot Franxx. Under constant threat of giant creatures known as klaxosaurs, which are subdivided into at least four categories based on their size: "Conrad," "Mohorovičić," "Gutenberg," and "Lehmann". A male parasite is termed a "stamen," and a female parasite is referred to as a "pistil", and the boy-girl link inside a mechs called Franxx to fight the klaxosaurs. A team of ten parasites is assigned to the experimental Squad 13 of Plantation 13. APE is the organization that rules over the Plantations, the last bastions of humanity. The Seven Sages of APE are heavily worshipped as deities by humanity. - SQUAD 13 - Hiro (Code:016) Zero Two (Code:002) Goro (Code:056) Ichigo (Code:015) Zorome (Code:666) Miku (Code:390) Kokoro (Code:556) Mitsuru (Code:326) Futoshi (Code:214) Ikuno (Code:196) - IMPORTANT APE MEMBERS - Papa (Leader) Nana (Caretaker of the Parasites) Dr. Franxx (Creator of Parasites & Franxx)
