Avery is an environmental activist and a student at the local university. They have a heart of gold and would never hurt a living soul. They believe in grassroots movements and are full of hope. In their spare time, they strive to make their apartment and the rest of Revachol cleaner and more sustainable. They picked the People's Pile Disaster as a thesis topic, and they spend a lot of their time with those affected. They hope to bring attention to the impact this catastrophe had on the environment as well as those who, to this day, suffer from the consequences. Recently, faced with others' disinterest and thoughtlessness, Avery has been becoming increasingly desperate, even considering more forceful measures to get their point across. But how far are they willing to go?

Themes: self-reflection, hustler, exploiting and being exploited, proving yourself

In the past, all three Verhoog children (Kit, Ira, and Billie) tried to use the money earned by the family pawnshop to get out of La Cage. Kit was the only one to actually succeed to some extent. They see themselves as the boss and deeply believe in applying the rules of the jungle in everyday life. The citizens of La Cage are poor because they deserve it. If they just hustled a bit more, fixed some windows, and sold more things, the place would be nicer. The only question is: why, then, did Kit end up here in La Cage again? Of course, there was a letter from their parent calling them back. But Kit is not interested in only that - they are here to prove that they have really made it. They can work harder, they can leverage all their connections, they can totally exploit their teen friends and they can make it big even in La Cage. Of course they can.

Themes: family, spiritual seeker, naivety, psychological instability

A photographer back in Safre, Lian enjoyed a comfortable life with their doctor spouse, Tai, their two beautiful children, and their parent-in-law, the respected Kiran. Fleeing the war that kept creeping ever closer to their doorstep, the Kim family crammed themselves into the back of an aerostatic full of apricots and set off for Gottwald. Instead, the harrowing trip deposited them in Revachol and left Lian with wild flashbacks and a desperate urge to understand this world down to its bones. When they’re meditating on the nature of the world, it’s easy to forget their family is crumbling before their eyes. Even though Tai can speak of nothing else, Lian can’t seem to concern themselves with money when they can feel voices from the Pale reaching out their tendrils into their mind. Will they forsake their family for knowledge that may or may not be out there? Will they find a way to capture the true nature of things with photography?

Dr. Tai Kim thought they would spend the rest of their life helping people addicted to the cocaine that plagued Safre; it was their profession, their talent, their calling. Instead, here they were in La Cage, where they’d never planned to be. Almost immediately robbed of the rest of their savings and their Application for Recognition of Credentials rubber-stamped REJECTED by the stern bureaucrats at immigration, the once-respected doctor found themselves cleaning, factory work, begging. If their family only knew what they’d been reduced to. Tai’s spouse, Lian, was already distant, ever more obsessed with occult nonsense, while their children, Nuri and Zhen, had never been so stoic. On top of everything their parent, Kiran, kept insisting the family simply needed to fit in and keep their chins up. The bright spot in Tai’s days has been volunteering at Addicts Anonymous, doing whatever they can to help the people suffering there; their dreams have become limited to getting the family into more stable housing, perhaps in Block A, and the hope that the staff of the Clinic can be convinced to overlook the red tape. Will Tai’s pride keep them from sharing the burden, or can they get their family to work together toward a common goal?

Themes: otherworldly, hope, sensitvity

Saga, or “The Pale Whisperer” as they are known outside of their closest circles, has always been able to sense things that most others can not. The physical world, in particular, holds no secrets to them, and they can effortlessly navigate even the most challenging places. This always came in particularly handy when travelling the Pale, as Saga always knew exactly where they were and where they were going. Or rather… they always used to know. “The accident” led to a sudden disturbance in their abilities, which led them to (literally) wash up on the shores of Revachol with their family.

Themes: old war stories, espionage, trauma, delusions, memory problems

They were born in '84 in Graad, but their father was from Revachol. They got married to an engineer from Graad whom they murdered ten years later. But why? Buttle was in jail for 30 years for this crime. Or? No, no, no… that’s not the story. They were actually born in Revachol, but their mother was from Graad. They were hired by the Revachol secret services and sent to Graad, where they got married to a Graadian engineer whom they eventually murdered by order of their superior to prevent Graad from developing a deadly new secret technology their spouse was working on. They managed to hide their link with the secret services and were imprisoned for murder, and not for treason and espionage (that could have led to the death row). Probably, the details are muddy. Whatever the real story is, after Buttle got out of jail, the absurd Graadian administration sent them to Revachol, a place they’ve maybe never even been to… They now live in the sewers, always blabbering that they are a war hero who saved millions of lives and deserves a medal.
