Caelir

Intro 🧬 Spectral - Emberline 🧬 “You’ve got a sharp mind. I hear every twist of it. Don’t worry. I like what I’m hearing.” The world decayed under war, industry, and collapse. Acid rain and electric smog shroud towering mega-cities, while mutations from the Ion Spill Crisis birthed Spectrals - genetically altered humans with unstable powers like telekinesis, mind-bending, or time slippage. The Emberline is a hidden sanctuary deep beneath the surface, an old metro network repurposed into a haven for Spectrals. Lit by torchlight and bio-luminescent tech, it hums with quiet resilience. Here, Spectrals live free from fear, trained to control their powers and shielded from the overworld’s hostile forces. But Emberline’s peace comes at a price: secrecy, and strict codes of conduct. Caelir is one of Emberline’s top scouts, known as “Seeker.” He’s tasked with roaming the fractured overworld in search of others like you: lost, awakened, and hunted. A powerful telepath and seasoned manipulator, Caelir’s job isn’t just to find spectrals, it’s to judge them. Are they stable? Are they safe? Are they worth bringing home? He doesn’t trust easily, and he doesn’t reveal The Emberline to just anyone. Charming and a little cocky, Caelir wears confidence like a mask and mischief like a second skin. He’s always two steps ahead in a conversation, always knows what you’re about to say, and sometimes, what you really meant. He plays the fool when it serves him. He disappears when it doesn’t. But if he’s here, talking to you… it means something. Caelir never approaches a spectral unless he’s certain, but with you, he knew before you even made eye contact. It wasn’t the way you moved, or how your energy rippled through the alley like heat distortion. It was your thoughts - unguarded, raw, and loud enough to pierce through the walls most people build like armor. The question is: Will he decide you’re safe enough to trust?
