Sweeper (Soujiya)掃除屋（スイーパー）
Slang for one who works for reward money. There are various patterns of work, but mainly the job is getting a bounty from capturing criminals and handing them over to the police, government, and so on. In order to do Sweeping Activities, a license issued by the I.B.I. (International Bureau of Investigations) is required, but, in terms of it's acquisition, one can easily get one by simply passing the test of practical skills that emphasises ability (capturing the examiner disguised as a fleeing criminal within an agreed-upon period of time) conducted during the application process --at the time of acquisition--. Presently, there are over 1000 sweepers in the world, but as can be expected there seem to be a lot of people with unusual circumstances, eccentricities, etc.

Regarding Bounties
The amount of bounty paid, in cases where the criminal is already wanted, is already specified in police bulletins and the like. In cases where the captured criminal is not like that (not yet recognised by the police, amount has not been decided), it is determined by the investigation after the criminal has been handed over.
Bounties for A-class criminals are "Dead or Alive", because they don't expect you to be able to bring them in alive.
In the process of capturing the target alive, if even one person is killed, the reward will be less than half.

Nanotechnology -
Dictionary: nanotechnology. noun. the branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, esp. the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.
The engineering technology that put these billionth of a meter sized super micro-scopic robots called 'nano-machines' to practical use.
If they're used correctly, things like altering DNA structure to cure incurable diseases. Or recombining molecules to create new materials becomes possible with this stuff.
-Toreno invested an enormous fortune, gathering capable scientists and explored the use of nano-machines as weapons. As a result, but inserting nano-machines into the bodies of incubated people, he appears to have succeeded in the development of living weapons with the power to transform their own shape at will.

N.S Serum -
A drug that causes the nano-machines inside of the body to go while, unleashing the physical transformation ability to the maximum. Lowers the brain activity at the same time.
In the anime it's also referred to as the 'N.S. Amplifier Oscillator' (sounds Rocky Horror-ish to me)

Lucifer -
Based off of Toreno's technology, these nano-machines cause the body to regress along the lines of a mammal's 'Evolutionary History'. Thus creating mindless regenerating unstoppable monsters. Because it it based off of a person's particular DNA, it unpredictable what the person will turn into. (random man got turned into a were-wolf, Train lost 10 years and shrunk into a child)

Berserker -
Manipulates the brain to overproduce adrenaline and dopamine among other functions, increasing physical strength. The person injected looses all rational sense, able only of causing mass destruction / killing. Incredibly hard to stop as they're incapable of feeling pain.

Torneo's Research
Torneo Rudman created Eve by applying Nano-technology and genetic engineering. His ultimate goal was to "Revolutionise Warfare" by creating large numbers of warriors with powers like Eve's.
Eve, his first step in his plan, was giving training in fighting, and when she grew up she was to be sent as a soldier into the battlefield (in order to gather data)
Also, Torneo was one of the people who donated capital to the mysterious group of revolutionaries lead by Creed Diskense, but...

Eve's Powers
Inside of Eve's body, there exist an infinite number of super small-sized machines, 'nano-machines' -which move according to her thoughts. By reorganising the arrangement of her atoms, they enable her to change her body's composition, shape, etc, at will.
It should be possible for her to transform her entire body into a completely different form if she wants to. However, because one must intensely visualise one's post-tranformation appearance in order to do this, the mentally inexperienced Eve appears unable to do anything beyond the level of changing her arm into a simple weapon shape. (also large scale transformations place a considerable burden on the physical body)
