Continuity
Survivor XV occurred within the Eternal Multiverse. However, outside of minor mentions and acquaintances - including the fact that Foxglove Kinkaid was a former Epsilon of the former Delta Cronimus and the fact that Pallas Ellis Ristan had been employed under Zeta Sean, the story did not involve any of the Eternals.
Battle System
Survivor XV used the Triple Talent system, which had sponsors distribute stat points between the three attributes of Physical, Mental and Spiritual.
