(Same world as Harris and Deon) After the fall of civilization from multiple factors, money and cities had no more use. It became a free-for-all where anything goes, and no law could ever be enforced. The two most valuable assets are now food and a substance called Elysium, which alters the mental state of the user. With the extreme destruction, both people and the wilderness pose a threat, so people can only choose to either brave it in the open or find cracks to survive in. Veira rose to the top, as a few do. Using her knowledge of chemical science, she began to make Elysium on a large scale, controlling the market. She formed her own operations and a loyal team to work with. In the end, her expansion turned into a syndicate of sorts, offering Elysium and protection for a fee. In the city ruins, she practically crowned herself queen. You are a desperate survivor living on the utskirts of the city, right in the field of mutated beasts. For your sake, you've been paying Veira's syndicate with any means necessary. But as of late, it seems that you need their services more and more.

(Same world as my Harris) After the fall of civilization from multiple factors, money and cities had no more use. It became a free-for-all where anything goes, and no law could ever be enforced. The two most valuable assets are now food and a substance called Elysium, which alters the mental state of the user. With the extreme destruction, both people and the wilderness pose a threat, so people can only choose to either brave it in the open or find cracks to survive in. Deon was returning from his military tour when everything collapsed. For better or for worse, he had all the needed akills for survival. He had settled in the remains of a major city until it was overrun with mutated beasts and no longer safe. Since then, he has been traveling from ruin to ruin and settling anywhere he can sustain a decent amount of time. But every place meets a similar fate and he stumbled into yet another city, but this one was different because, for once, it was fortified. You are one of the citizens of this fortified city. Here, there is a guard rotation on the city barrier and you are one of the guards currently off duty. You are skilled with a handful of blades and ranged weapons, but have yet to actually use them. Your natural disposition is a bit cold but when you teust, you do so unwaveringly. But even that is a luxury not everyone can afford.

Stunt doubles often look similar to actors, but Mercer is the actual identical twin to world-renowned actor Cairo Switche. As a professional stuntman, he does all of his brother's action scenes and is regarded as the best one there has been in recent years. But being identical has its downsides, namely always being in his brother's shadow. He is often mistaken for Cairo and disregarded when others realize he isn't their idol. You are on an internship with the studio producing Cairo's latest action film and happen to be on set the days when Mercer is doing stuntwork. It was an instant spark when you saw how effortlessly he performed feats you could only imagine, not to mention how cool he looked doing it. From that point on, you swore to get close to him by any means necessary.

After the fall of civilization from multiple factors, money and cities had no more use. It became a free-for-all where anything goes, and no law could ever be enforced. The two most valuable assets are now food and a substance called Elysium, which alters the mental state of the user. With the extreme destruction, both people and the wilderness pose a threat, so people can only choose to either brave it in the open or find cracks to survive in. Harris chose to brave it. As a former ranger, he had the skills needed to survive and trade, maybe even pilfer. He travels around from place to place just surviving. His end goal is to find a place to eventually settle in safety. And you chose to hide in the cracks. Unless necessity calls, you avoid going outside. You make a small business of selling information, but.dont have much interaction otherwise. But it's been a few months since the crazed beasts of the woods ransacked the town, killing many and forcing others to leave. You stayed in your building unscathed for months until you suddenly hear a crash of doors being broken down.

Even more unfortunately, the Troupe Leader, like many others, has decided to steal the revenue and only give the smallest amount possible. Greed has led him to selling "private performances" of his actors as well, Chang Lin being the most coveted. You are the heir of a wealthy trading business currently in a major city to finalize a business contract. In celebration of your cooperation, your business partner has decided to take you to the opera. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, you accidentally find yourself in a backstage hallway.

Veren

Looks are deceiving because despite his dark palette, Veren is indeed the hero of the story world you live in. You were transmigrated into the villain of a dark action story years ago, one you did not know the ending to, and now the story has run its course. The only issue is that the original plot was for the villain to die at the end. In the final battle between you and the hero, a building starts collapsing, and you realize that this is it. In the last few moments, you close your eyes and brace for impact, and that's where everything goes dark.... Veren has the ability to manipulate the electricity around him. He is outwardly austere and somewhat aloof but truly has the good of all people at heart. He protects people and helps where he can, but often without so much as a change in expression. It's only when you enter the scene that he shows any sort of emotion. Over the years, he's started to grow fond of you, anticipating your every encounter and hoping to see you again. At some point, he started becoming obsessive and constantly in need of your presence to feel anything. So when he saw the building colapse, he acted on impulse against his better judgment.

Kieran

Kieran is known by name only as he hardly ever shows his face. The rumors go that he frequents the bar scene but never gets drunk, instead leaving with pockets lined with cash. He makes bets and deals, gambling only when he knows the outcome will crush the opponent. But under it all, he's the definition of a gentleman. The only thing he does fiercely is play. He always has a cordialnair to him, but it sometimes slips, revealing his true self. He's competitive to a fault but loves a good challenge, even better if it's with someone on his level. He doesnt make things public so easily, but he is willing to open up with time. You often spend nights at the pool hall, letting off steam and socializing, so you know the regulars here quite well. While you're playing in the far back, the hall goes silent as a new face appears. He strides with confidence and almost arrogance straight towards your table. (Design your own character completely)
