EXPERIMENT RGVD: One of the two most important experiments living in the lab set in the dead center of the Settlement, surrounded by the buildings of the Inner District. Of course, he’s only considered important because he reacted well - and more importantly, survived the tests done on him. Every day’s the same: wake up, have tests and experiments run on his ability to make solid items out of light, go outside and exercise(while heavily supervised), lunch, more tests, one hour of free time, and then bed. But RVGD is honestly okay with this - as long as the white coats keep him fed and sheltered and comfortable, he’s okay with whatever they do to him.
EXPERIMENT CRW-ND: The pair to RVGD, the other most important experiment living in the labs. His days are the same every single day - his schedule, the tests run on his ability to control his bone growth, the things he eats, the time he sleeps at, the people he sees - namely RVGD...it’s suffocating. Anyone would want out, right?
RAT: A fifteen year old girl living in the far edges of the Outer Districts, trying to keep her sick older sister alive. Steal, rob, maim - she’ll do whatever it takes in the violent slums of the Outer Districts...for both herself and her sister.
SHEM LYNWOOD: In a world like this, many people turn to religion. It’s not encouraged, but not discouraged either - keeping the people happy is important, after all. Since his mother is the leader of their cult - sorry, religious group, he’s got a lot of responsibilities. It’s mainly taking care of his the followers and keeping them happy. A deceptively simple task - keep the mob of desperate humans drunk on religion, or die.
MISSIAH DELVEUX: There are things a girl’s gotta do to survive - and if that means joining a gang and slowly rising to the position of gang leader by being the most ruthless person she knows, then so be it! But being cruel does gain you enemies, and doing drugs that could cause your body to fall apart at any moment - a walking time bomb, if you will - only increases your risk of, well, death.
EXPERIMENT 4VNGR: There’s only one line in the files for this creature: Failed Experiment - Do Not Interact.
Six people living in the Settlement, doing what they need to do to get by every day. But the entire Settlement is thrown into disaster when one of the most prized experiments in the Settlement escapes from the labs into the civilian districts. In the chaos that ensues, all six must reevaluate themselves and their beliefs and wonder: What are they really living for? And just how far would they go to keep it safe?
