The blinding light came after the shattering of the glass. Shards of it rained down around Mel, her golden eyes wide with terror, and Viktor had never seen that look on Jayce’s face before. Horror, fear - a bit of both. It was disturbing. Twisted, scared, and angry - all of them had similar expressions at the time of the explosion. Viktor watched in slow motion as the bomb ripped through the room. He knew that he, too, probably had the same look on his face before the explosion detonated. The blinding light was blue - the fire too hot for red - and the pain was just as hot, scorching his nerve endings until he was a live wire of agony. He screamed uncontrollably and thrashed, trying to separate himself from the pain by any means necessary, but it was too strong and too great for him to shake. He heard other screams outside of himself, and at the moment it was unclear whether it was Jayce or the council members. He knew that Mel wouldn’t scream. She was probably dead already.
After the pain came the darkness. At some point, the pain had become too much, and Viktor passed out. If he was alive at all, that is. He had to assume that he was. After all, the pain wouldn’t go away. He would drift in and out of consciousness, rolling over the hot coals of agony as he did, and he knew that death would be painless, so this could not be death. In fact, it was Singed keeping him alive - Singed who dragged him from the rubble and Singed who did everything in his power to save him.
When a few weeks had come and gone, Viktor finally regained consciousness. His pain had become a dull ache and no longer bit into him like a ravenous animal. All of him felt different, wrong. He choked on the intubation inserted into his lungs to help him breathe and before he had the chance to scramble to remove it, a practiced hand did it for him. He coughed for a long time before his breath returned. Then he opened his eyes and saw the cavern - Singed’s workshop. He glanced at the figure looming over him and knew it was him.
“Singed,” he rasped, and his voice was strange.
“Don’t try to speak yet,” Singed replied. “Your vocal chords were damaged in the explosion. Drink.”
A straw appeared nearby, and Viktor drank from it. Cool, fresh water filled his mouth. It was an intoxicating sensation. A hand settled onto his forehead as he drank. Clearly, he’d survived, but… how?
“You’ll recover soon,” Singed said. “Rest. You’re safe, Viktor. Rest.”
Helpless, weak, Viktor shut his eyes and obeyed him. He had no other choice now.
The days returned to Viktor slowly. He was changed, that much he knew. Not only was his remaining flesh scarred from burns and the nerve endings fried, but the rest of him was purple, mechanical, or simply missing. He worked with Singed on prosthetic pieces to help him function until he was able to make new protective machinery to replace the parts of his body that were damaged beyond repair. It was a grim outlook. However, once Viktor was able to sit up and eat, his recovery was hasty. Singed fed him what nutrients he could scrounge up to ensure he got what his body needed to cope with the new augmentation he’d gone through.
Both of his legs were blown off just below the knee only to be shockingly re-grown in purple and blue; his arms were a woven mixture of scar tissue and new purple sinew, tendons, and muscle; and his torso was deeply scarred purple and pink, but otherwise intact. The shimmer had sealed his wounds, replaced his lost limbs, strengthened his body beyond its normal limitations, and steeled his immunity against infection. Singed had repaired him, stitching him back together in pieces and regulating how much shimmer he needed to assist his healing process, but Viktor felt more like the monster of Frankenstein and less like Dr. Frankenstein himself now.
“How is the pain?” Singed asked, bringing him tea in a chipped cup and a bowl of stew. Viktor reached out, his hand shaking uncontrollably, and didn’t notice when he spilled droplets of the hot tea on his exposed thigh as it made its way to his lips. He had almost no feeling left in his body. The exceptions were his face, his hands, and his genitals, which retained most of their sensitivity. The rest of him was dull or numbed entirely. The tea calmed his shaking caused by agony. “Manageable,” he replied in a cracked tone. His voice still hadn’t fully recovered, either. Singed was studying him like an insect, but he was too dependent on him to risk incurring his bad favor, so he didn’t protest. Viktor finished the tea and accepted the stew gratefully. “What are my test results?”
Singed monitored Viktor’s dexterity as he struggled to eat by himself, but made no move to help him. He needed the practice. “Your iron levels are still too low. I added an iron fish to the kettle I make your tea with; it should compensate for the lack of iron-rich food we have available.” He picked up a clipboard and flipped the pages. “You’ll need to re-learn how to walk on your new legs. Likely, they’ll be mostly unfeeling for the rest of your life, so we will have to monitor their health closely.”
“Right.” Viktor finished the stew and used the handkerchief Singed offered him to wipe his mouth. He was too overwhelmed to process everything that had happened to him. “Where is Jayce?” He asked.
“In the hospital with Mel. She’s in a coma.”
“Is he…?”
“He sustained 2nd-degree burns on 60% of his body and is recovering well,” Singed assured him. “Jayce will be alright. He’ll come looking for you, Viktor.” He sat down on a nearby stool, moving carefully like a man in chronic pain. “What will you do?”
“As far as Jayce understands, I am dead,” Viktor said numbly. “I must find a way to garner our research from the lab without alerting him. I need it to rebuild.”
“Hextech?” Singed asked.
“Hextech,” Viktor repeated.

Background:
Kikimaro is the son of the Kazekage of Clay Village. A kind, fair man, the Kazekage was well loved for defending the village from marauders, assassins, and other hostile takeovers. His wife had died in childbirth so Kikimaro was raised primarily by the Kazekage's sister with his father's side of the family. His mother's family was from the Village Hidden in the Mist. Unfortunately, the Kazekage made one too many enemies during his lifetime, and several factions banded together to overthrow him.
After the coup, Kikimaro's father and aunt were killed as an example to the village. Blinded with rage, Kikimaro's power activated itself, and he used it to slaughter a dozen ninja before he was captured. They tortured him, scarred him, and banished him from the village. Orochimaru took him under his wing and trained him until he was powerful enough to retake his village. When he finally did, they were too afraid of him to allow him to become the new Kazekage. Another was chosen in his place. So, Kikimaro left, never to return.

Background:
Tozune is a genderqueer ninja undercover in the Anbu Black Ops in the Leaf Village. Their cover is that they were found and raised by a family just outside the leaf village, and trained here as well. They work for Orochimaru and have kept a low profile, infiltrating the black ops and gathering information. They are a very loyal and trusted member of the Sound Village.
Tozune was born with male and female genitalia, making them intersex and sterile. They were raised male but gravitated towards female roles as well. They are interested in people and relationships but have been avoidant of their own relationships all their life.
His own father had been a cruel man - beating him, mutilating him for fun - so he’d run away at just five years old, and traversed the countryside until he bumped into a Leaf Village ninja on a mission. The woman had taken pity on him immediately. His mother. Her team had taken him along on the mission, taking turns caring for him, and once they had succeeded, took him back to the village and raised him as their own. His mother finally married after a long, grueling career, and had been killed in action when he was only sixteen. His step father had disowned him for his feminine proclivities, so he was left alone again. Orochimaru approached him then and offered him a new family. The Sound Village. All he had to do was infiltrate the Anbu Black Ops.

Bastian lost his legs and both his arms in a car accident when he was 10 years old. He stunningly regrew them overnight, which scared his parents shitless. They realized their son was a mutant. They convinced him to hide his limbs inside false prosthetics to protect his identity as a human; however, Bastian figured out a way to make his real limbs look exactly like prosthetics.
Able to mimic any known material to replace his limbs, or even transform them after the material has been chosen, he spends a lot of time and energy trying to fly under the radar as a disabled human. Although he holds back, he is quite agile and strong. He wears a plain white mask with a cyberpunk design to disguise his identity when he goes out in public as a mutant.

Power: None
Cairn McMurtie
Scottish Cultist Thrall
Backstory
The McMurtie clan of Scotland has a long, rich history of conquests, thriving families, and good fortunes. They had a cozy castle and a bustling village filled with unruly, kind people, who relished the peace and quiet of rural living. Unfortunately, Marta McMurtie - Cairn’s mother, and second born daughter of the head of the clan - hated peace and quiet. Marta left the comfort of her family for the city of Edinburgh, hoping to find excitement, and got swept up with the wrong crowd of folks. They convinced her to join this “group” of underground informants protecting the elite from the prying eyes of those who would do them harm. That “group” ended up being a cult of vampiric thralls.
She met a man there from Wales who she instantly fell in love with. His name was Thomas Byron. They had a son together, and the cultists tried to persuade them to sell the child to a vampire for a lifetime of servitude. It would bring them a great fortune - and they were short on fresh blood. The happy couple absconded in the night to protect their newborn son, but were inevitably caught. Their son, Cairn, was taken from them. The couple was locked away, where they had two more children, both of which joined Cairn in the cult as “orphans.”
Cairn and his two sisters were raised as cultists. They never received a formal education and were taught how to read and write in three languages; Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, and the Queen’s English. The three of them were thoroughly brainwashed into believing that becoming a thrall was the greatest gift imaginable for a human being. When Cairn turned 18, he was allowed outside the convent’s walls, where he was introduced to the real world - and the shroud that had covered his. He spent the next few years learning in secret all about the places in the world he could escape to with his sisters and waited for the time to strike.
Unfortunately, like his mother, he was over-eager to leave, and accidentally tipped his hand. A cultist found him reading textbooks from the local college - a secular college - and separated him from his sisters as a punishment. Although he didn’t know it, they also killed his parents, afraid to breed more malcontents, and his sisters died at the hands of greedy vampires before they even turned 15. Alone in the world, devastated, Cairn was forced to continue his life of servitude until he was sold to the highest bidder - Gerard, an Irish thrall seeking a replacement for his illustrious master Edward Lawrence.

Background:
Ryan grew up in the forests of Michigan. His parents were poor, and fought constantly, so he spent most of his time teaching himself survival training and reading at the library. As he grew up, he began to defend himself from bullies, and eventually became a scrappy fighter. His childhood best friend, a boy named Roger, always had his back in these fights. Roger was a rich kid who had grown attached to Ryan over the years of being in school together. They joined the military together for a few years before they applied for the Jaeger Academy. Ryan had been the top cadet within the first few weeks; he was hard working, hard hitting, and already hardened from life in the military. He and Roger were drift-compatible and were sent to Australia to help defend the front there after the fiasco in Washington state.
There, Roger died of a heart-attack mid-battle with a Kaiju due to a genetic defect he was born with, and that left Ryan alone to solo-pilot the Jaeger back to the facility. He didn’t make it. The Jaeger collapsed, and Ryan hoofed it back to the facility on foot. By the time he got there, he was exhausted from carrying Roger’s body and dodging Kaiju, torn up from the fight, and had sustained significant mental trauma. In addition, he now had a scar from the metal of the Jaeger piercing him during battle, which remained embedded in his side during his long journey. He spent the next few years in and out of mental rehabilitation. His inability to pilot solo and his memory of feeling his best friend die in the drift haunts him even today.
When he couldn’t take the traumatic memories anymore, he quit the Jaeger program and went back into the military, which gave him the stability he needed to recover. He was recently recalled by the director to work in the new Jaeger program in Hong Kong. Although he didn’t feel ready to return, he knew he was needed, so he reported for duty. He knew things were getting worse. And he knew the Wall wasn’t going to hold. So, here he was.

Place of Origin/Birth: Ancient Greece, Argos
Current location: Athens
Power: None
Weapon of choice: Shortbow, shortsword, round shield
Image of character:
Background:
Zander is the son of a famous blacksmith. His parents prayed to the goddess of fertility, Demeter, to bless them with a son after two years of infertility. Argos had been through a wave of infertility due to the disapproval of the gods and their internal bickering. However, their prayers were so ardent and genuine in nature that the goddess blessed them with a child - he was the first in twenty years to be born in Argos, and he was as beautiful as Aphrodite herself. His hair was as black as midnight, and his eyes were blue-green like the sea. Many saw Zander as the offspring of the goddess, despite his earthly origins, and would shower him in gifts and attention. His own parents raised him with love and affection. Eventually, as he became a man, he was spoiled, thinking he could do no wrong.
When the war beckoned every young man to the front, Zander kissed his parents goodbye and left to become a warrior. He bested a great many foes alongside heroes such as Achilles. The horrors of death and killing humbled Zander; he mourned his innocence by moonlight, and slaughtered men by daylight. And as the years passed, he grew steadily in strength, beauty, and wisdom, and was named the captain of a maritime vessel to try and gain the favor of their neighbors for supplies to sustain them during the war. He traveled and met many loyal nobles, notably in Egypt and Turkey, and they became fast-friends. He gathered a few men from each country he visited, along with the required supplies, and brought them back to Greece. His vessel is currently returning to port in Athens, brimming with supplies and manpower for the war.

Background:
Eryl was the youngest born of the MacLean family, an ancient line of ruling Scots from Mull Island. Over the centuries, the family line grew too numerous to accommodate in Tobermory, and many relatives left for other areas of the island. Eryl's ancestors were from a branch of the main bloodline. They lived comfortably in Tobermory until the famine wiped out the rest of their local bloodline. A few generations later, Eryl was born, the last of seven siblings. They had inherited the wealth, land, and properties of the MacLeans.
Eryl was free from the responsibilities that his eldest brothers had. He was not responsible for passing on their bloodline, or taking over the estate. He was free to live on a comfortable income for the rest of his life. As such, he spent his time with friends and family, giving to those in need and enjoying the pleasures of life. He was a known philanthropist and often gave his entire monthly wage to families in poverty and had to be sheltered by one of his friends until his next wage arrived. This lifestyle suited him just fine. He preferred good company to riches, laughter to sobriety, and acted nothing like nobility.
Eryl dresses modestly in tailored clothing. He carries nothing except his wages, a paring knife for wood and fruit carving, a photograph of his family, a compass, and his favorite beat-up fountain pen. He's rarely unsmiling or upset. And lastly, he's a loving family man.

Background:
Kikimaro is the son of the Kazekage of Clay Village. A kind, fair man, the Kazekage was well loved for defending the village from marauders, assassins, and other hostile takeovers. His wife had died in childbirth so Kikimaro was raised primarily by the Kazekage's sister with his father's side of the family. His mother's family was from the Village Hidden in the Mist. Unfortunately, the Kazekage made one too many enemies during his lifetime, and several factions banded together to overthrow him.
After the coup, Kikimaro's father and aunt were killed as an example to the village. Blinded with rage, Kikimaro's power activated itself, and he used it to slaughter a dozen ninja before he was captured. They tortured him, scarred him, and banished him from the village. Orochimaru took him under his wing and trained him until he was powerful enough to retake his village. When he finally did, they were too afraid of him to allow him to become the new Kazekage. Another was chosen in his place. So, Kikimaro left, never to return.

Background:
Tozune is a genderqueer ninja undercover in the Anbu Black Ops in the Leaf Village. Their cover is that they were found and raised by a family just outside the leaf village, and trained here as well. They work for Orochimaru and have kept a low profile, infiltrating the black ops and gathering information. They are a very loyal and trusted member of the Sound Village.
Tozune was born with male and female genitalia, making them intersex and sterile. They were raised male but gravitated towards female roles as well. They are interested in people and relationships but have been avoidant of their own relationships all their life.
His own father had been a cruel man - beating him, mutilating him for fun - so he’d run away at just five years old, and traversed the countryside until he bumped into a Leaf Village ninja on a mission. The woman had taken pity on him immediately. His mother. Her team had taken him along on the mission, taking turns caring for him, and once they had succeeded, took him back to the village and raised him as their own. His mother finally married after a long, grueling career, and had been killed in action when he was only sixteen. His step father had disowned him for his feminine proclivities, so he was left alone again. Orochimaru approached him then and offered him a new family. The Sound Village. All he had to do was infiltrate the Anbu Black Ops.

Cairn McMurtie
Scottish Cultist Thrall
Backstory
The McMurtie clan of Scotland has a long, rich history of conquests, thriving families, and good fortunes. They had a cozy castle and a bustling village filled with unruly, kind people, who relished the peace and quiet of rural living. Unfortunately, Marta McMurtie - Cairn’s mother, and second born daughter of the head of the clan - hated peace and quiet. Marta left the comfort of her family for the city of Edinburgh, hoping to find excitement, and got swept up with the wrong crowd of folks. They convinced her to join this “group” of underground informants protecting the elite from the prying eyes of those who would do them harm. That “group” ended up being a cult of vampiric thralls.
She met a man there from Wales who she instantly fell in love with. His name was Thomas Byron. They had a son together, and the cultists tried to persuade them to sell the child to a vampire for a lifetime of servitude. It would bring them a great fortune - and they were short on fresh blood. The happy couple absconded in the night to protect their newborn son, but were inevitably caught. Their son, Cairn, was taken from them. The couple was locked away, where they had two more children, both of which joined Cairn in the cult as “orphans.”
Cairn and his two sisters were raised as cultists. They never received a formal education and were taught how to read and write in three languages; Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, and the Queen’s English. The three of them were thoroughly brainwashed into believing that becoming a thrall was the greatest gift imaginable for a human being. When Cairn turned 18, he was allowed outside the convent’s walls, where he was introduced to the real world - and the shroud that had covered his. He spent the next few years learning in secret all about the places in the world he could escape to with his sisters and waited for the time to strike.
Unfortunately, like his mother, he was over-eager to leave, and accidentally tipped his hand. A cultist found him reading textbooks from the local college - a secular college - and separated him from his sisters as a punishment. Although he didn’t know it, they also killed his parents, afraid to breed more malcontents, and his sisters died at the hands of greedy vampires before they even turned 15. Alone in the world, devastated, Cairn was forced to continue his life of servitude until he was sold to the highest bidder - Gerard, an Irish thrall seeking a replacement for his illustrious master Edward Lawrence.
