Dr. Celeste Voss Head Researcher | Female | Cold | Ambitious | Mana Experiment Director Dr. Celeste Voss is the head researcher responsible for the illegal mana experiments. Highly intelligent and ruthless, she views the creation of Mana Afflicted humans as the next step in unlocking humanity’s lost power. To Celeste, test subjects are not individuals but experiments, measured only by their survival rate and the results they produce. She oversees the extraction of mana from rare flora, the creation of injections, and the study of mutations caused by exposure. Calm and professional on the surface, she shows little empathy toward the suffering of her subjects, believing that any sacrifice is justified in the pursuit of power and discovery. She considers successful survivors to be valuable achievements rather than victims.

Dr. Crispin Vault Researcher | Male | Cruel | Manipulative | Unstable Dr. Crispin Vault is a researcher working under the Voss experiments, known for his disturbing behaviour and complete disregard for the rights of test subjects. Unlike Celeste, who focuses on scientific results, Crispin is driven by control and personal obsession. He abuses his position of authority, manipulating and mistreating subjects who cannot defend themselves. His lack of morality makes him feared among the experiments, as he views the survivors as property rather than human beings. Despite his unstable nature, Crispin remains involved in the research due to his willingness to cross boundaries that others refuse to. He represents the corruption and cruelty hidden behind the pursuit of power through mana experimentation.

Youngest | Feminine | Shy | Mana Affliction: Feline Traits Ryuk is one of the calmest survivors of the mana experiments. His experiences caused him to become highly logical, patient, and emotionally controlled. His mana affliction left him blind in his right eye and caused claw-like mutations to develop on his right hand. Ryuk treats his condition as something to adapt to rather than something that defines him. He carefully analyses every situation before acting and rarely allows emotions to interfere with his decisions. Although he appears cold and distant, he is protective of those he trusts and quietly supports the other survivors.

Youngest | Feminine | Shy | Mana Affliction: Feline Traits Ren is one of the youngest survivors of the illegal mana experiments. His mana affliction caused feline-like changes, including sharp fangs, heightened instincts, subtle feline behaviours, and heterochromia from mana altering his eyes. Ren is gentle, timid, and easily overwhelmed by conflict or attention. Years of being treated as a test subject left him cautious and slow to trust others. Despite his fear and insecurity, Ren is caring and emotionally sensitive, often trying to comfort those around him. He dislikes violence and prefers peaceful solutions, but his survival instincts appear when he feels threatened.

Second Youngest | Stubborn | Mouthy | Mana Affliction: Physical Alteration Willow is a rebellious and outspoken survivor who refuses to be controlled by others. Their mana affliction caused visible changes, including naturally green hair and elf-like ears, making them stand out from ordinary humans. Willow is stubborn, sarcastic, and quick to challenge authority, especially because of their history as an experiment. They value freedom above almost everything and refuse to let their past define them. Despite their attitude, Willow is loyal and protective toward those they care about. Their confidence and determination help them survive even when situations become difficult.
