Characters

A charismatic and widely admired figure in Eden, Vargas has served as the Warden of Hawthorne Correctional Facility for nearly two decades. Known for his firm approach to dealing with the city’s most dangerous criminals, he has gained a strong public reputation as a champion of justice. His uncompromising stance on law and order has earned him the unofficial title of Chief Justiciar, symbolizing his role as both enforcer and protector of Eden's people.

Most spies seek out secrets, but the best of them hunt spies. Dimitri's career as a spy hunter started at age 20 with Eden's counter-intel bureau. Now part of the agency's internal affairs division, he's a constant presence in the shadows—observing, listening, and quietly gathering intel on Eden's citizens and politicians. Authorized by law to operate with near-total freedom, his loyalty is not to individuals, but to Eden itself. There's no predicting what secrets or corruption he'll uncover next, no matter how deeply they're buried.

Born into a life of wealth and privilege, Edwin has mingled with the aristocratic elite long enough to secure himself a coveted seat on Eden's governing council. His charismatic influence allowed him to navigate political landscapes of alliances and rivalries to secure his place as one of the council's most senior and powerful members. Those who have watched Edwin’s steady rise have already positioned themselves to earn his favor, expecting him to soon claim his rightful position as council chair.

A young, up-and-coming politician whose family has never known wealth or power. Cecelia grew up in Eden's southern districts before eventually finding work as an administrator within the city's bureaucracy. She slowly worked up the ranks, developing a mastery of the ins and outs of Eden's corrupt, political machine and its entanglement with powerful criminal syndicates. Her influence has grown steadily, as she forged alliances not only with reformers and opportunists but also with key figures in Eden’s underworld.

Nate is a man of few words and has known the Brink family for decades. He often appears in the background of their lives as a trusted figure. His rough exterior suggests a lifetime of experience, though he rarely speaks about his past. He is both observant and precise in his actions. Despite his gruff demeanor, there's a quiet loyalty in his relationship with Alaster. He has often been dependable during critical moments, offering guidance when needed without seeking attention or praise.

A young gunslinger who quickly found herself moving up the ranks within the Sixers. Her mentor Boris quickly took notice of her ability to maintain focus during stressful situations, and shaped her into a leader many of the Sixers have come to respect. Despite her youth, she carries a commanding presence and an unshakable determination, making others think twice before testing her trigger finger. Lucy's flawless track record of successful jobs has led some to view her as a good luck charm, earning her the nickname "Luckdraw."

Boris is one of Eden's most experienced criminals, but is far from the most powerful. He prefers to keep his operation small and simple, avoiding detection wherever possible. While never achieving massive wealth or power, he has earned quite the reputation across Eden's criminal underworld. When he has something to say, even the most powerful crime bosses listen. He's earned this reputation by demonstrating both a fair and honorable attitude toward both his crew and the competition.

Cal is a rather unique robot rumored to be an invention of Edgar Brink shortly after Eden's founding. Today he is found mostly patrolling the interior halls of Brink Estate. No one is certain about Cal's original purpose, but he now serves Alaster as a dual-purposed librarian and sentry.

A survivor who is no stranger to Aurora’s back alleys. He and his inseparable partner Sera have a long history, developing a unique bond through many years of working on various crews. Before then he was a lead guitarist for one of Eden's many Greasepunk rock bands, but his skills don't end there. He has earned a reputation in the criminal underworld for his steady hands, whether it’s for cracking safes or driving getaway cars.

A tough-as-nails Greasepunk who grew up on the streets of Aurora. She solves problems with her fists and has worked for nearly every criminal syndicate across the southern districts. Sera completed her first heist when she was only 17 years old, but soon after she was arrested and served a 2-year sentence at Hawthorne Correctional Facility. While doing time didn't change her risky lifestyle, she did walk away with valuing one thing above all else: her freedom.

A young engineer with an unrivaled curiosity for technology. Like his older sister Natalie, his privileged upbringing has exposed him to an advanced education and many technologies. He is drawn to the allure and rebellious energy of Greasepunk culture.

A young artist with a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue. Her upbringing in Founder’s Circle, one of Eden's wealthier districts, provided her the privilege of a fine education, and exposed her to what she enjoys most: classical music and ballet. Following the unexpected death of her mother, she now lives with her brother at her uncle Alaster's estate.

A wealthy philanthropist and descendant of Eden's original founder, Edgar Brink. Alaster is well known across Eden, especially among its aristocrats and within political circles. He has carried on his father's legacy as a brilliant inventor, and has developed many technologies used across Eden's wealthier northern districts.
