In December 2024 NetEase described the player as an elite agent of the A.C.D. in a Nova City overrun by Chaos, from paranormal events to toilets racing through traffic. In the 2026 materials the Captain recruits agents to rebuild the team and can switch between them.
Taffy is the other agent at the start, and Richie helps from the NCCA. The Captain’s official bio mentions the ACD crumbling while rock ’n’ roll gangs breathe down the team’s neck.

The Captain is the main character of ANANTA and the new captain of the ACD, a task force that is falling apart. The hero comes from Chongxiao, arrives in Nova City and has to rebuild the team while becoming famous online. Male and female versions are confirmed for launch.
Taffy is a courier with long rabbit ears and the ACD’s other agent. She joined the task force hoping for an easy life and ended up delivering strange cargo on her bike. She co-founded the Yeet Squad and dreams of a million followers.
Richie is an NCCA police officer who works with the ACD. She catches criminals on duty and takes side jobs after hours. The official site advises suspects to go along peacefully rather than test her fists.
The NCCA is Nova City’s police force. Richie serves in it, and NetEase lists the NCCA officer among the walks of life you can play.
Switching characters lets you jump between recruited ACD agents, each with a separate story, job and way of exploring and fighting. Producer Ash Qi says a character you leave keeps living their own life.
