A pre-teen boy that grew up sheltered from the slow burning apocalypse in

Character 3 Description:
A husk of a man, given up hope in the decaying world, he soothes himself
with digitized memories of the past through his virtual reality headset, his
addiction. He pays little mind to Gabriel, he doesn’t beat him, but he might as
well given his neglect and complete lack of effort to be a guardian to him.

The Feral Man

25-50
Character 4 Description:
A refugee turned to utter madness from the state of the world and the latent
evil it dredged up from his soul. He is little more than the living dead, stalking

murderer living in a delirium of madness and incoherent rage, barely
recognizable as human.
