The Creator

Brilliant but haunted scientist who created the Pulse system, now hunted by his own invention. Once celebrated as the mind who granted humanity a form of immortality, he has become its greatest fugitive. The Pulse was meant to preserve life, yet it enslaved a city and cost countless others their freedom. Burdened by the lives lost to his creation, Isaac hides beyond Nexa’s reach, driven by guilt and a desperate need for redemption. Beneath the stoicism lies a man torn between the logic of a scientist and the ache of a soul still capable of love. His search for truth leads him into the arms of Lira and toward the one secret that could either destroy or save what remains of humanity.

The Fighter

A survivor shaped by loss and resilience, Lira has endured the worst that Orecrest and the outer territories could offer. She learned to fight, to adapt, and to trust only herself in a world ruled by those with power and privilege. When she meets Isaac, her guarded heart collides with a truth she can no longer ignore. Beneath her hardened exterior is a fierce will to protect those she loves, even when it means facing the ghosts of her past. She becomes both Isaac’s strength and his reminder that survival is not enough without something worth living for.

The Failed Experiment

The dark mirror of Isaac’s ambition. Once human, Draxon sought freedom from the Pulse system and became the first failed Etherium experiment. His mind sharpened, his body transformed, and his soul fractured beyond repair. Intelligent, ruthless, and consumed by obsession, he believes himself both savior and God, the inevitable evolution of humanity’s hubris.

High Technocrat of Sentinel Integration

Once a visionary within the High Council, Saren believes humanity’s survival depends on control. He sees chaos as weakness and emotion as corruption, building his army of Sentinels to replace both. To him, the future belongs to those who can outlast pain and outthink death. His pursuit of order has made him both revered and feared, a man convinced that mercy invites ruin. Yet beneath his iron logic remains the shadow of the idealist he once was, still haunted by the question of whether his perfection is worth the cost of humanity itself.

Chief Engineer of Lakenbridge

Little is known about Yuri’s past, and he prefers it that way. He fled his home country with Selene, leaving behind a life few dare to ask about. In Lakenbridge, he built a quieter existence, surrounded by steel, water, and the hum of passing currents. His expertise in engineering and defense systems keeps the bridge settlement running, while his restraint and quiet strength make him one of its unspoken protectors. Beneath his calm exterior lies a man always watching, always ready, shaped by a history that still follows him like a shadow.

Natural Weaponsmith of Lakenbridge

Selene is a master craftswoman who forges weapons from living materials roots, minerals, and resin hardened by pressure and time. Her creations feel alive, shaped by patience rather than fire, and each carries the mark of the land it came from. Guided by intuition and an unspoken connection to nature, she transforms the raw world around her into tools of defense and beauty, standing as both healer and warrior in Lakenbridge’s fight for survival.

The High Council rules Nexa with absolute authority, controlling Etherium distribution and the Pulse system that sustains life. They present themselves as guardians of progress while concealing corruption, ambition, and fear of collapse. Each member pursues a different vision for the city’s future, turning governance into a quiet battlefield where every decision reshapes the balance between survival and power.
