## About This Game
## Start at the End of Human Civilization
Let me tell you a story. It is in the far future after humans have peeked and
vanished; after their cities and monuments have been reduced to ruins; their
greatness disintegrated into oblivion. What remains is hunger, hopelessness,
and an inferior continuation of the human race; the children of Terra. There
are a lot of Children dispersed in this world, sheltered in their factions,
separated from each other by their conviction and mistrust.
## Five Protectors in Service of Repentance
Today, I’ll tell you about one group of Children, the Protectors, five of them
to be exact. They are departing from a Protector settlement named Repentance.
Sent by their elders to find the truth about a rumor that would not die about
a place of great technology and resources. The Refinery. These five are an odd
band, not your classical heroes; in fact, there are not many heroes in this
story..
## Blackjack
One of them, an old warrior, led them through the ruins avoiding many dangers;
his name is Blackjack. He was never not a warrior.. and it was all he would
ever be. His violence was directed at everyone, friend or foe. He was kept in
check by a very old woman, the only one he listens to.
## Elle
The woman was too old by any measure to be on such a journey. But she was an
elder in the settlement, and none dare to oppose her. Her name was used to
scare small children into obedience. Skilled in medicine, alchemy and could
see the future. Her name is Elle; no one ever remembered a time when she was
not old.
## Rake
Elle brought along with her an apprentice; he was a weird boy. No one would
think of him as anyone’s apprentice. He had no mind for healing; many would
say he has no mind for anything. He was found as a toddler and grew very
strong, trained as a soldier but would never follow orders. When he was about
to be banished, Elle took him in. He was never named but referred to as Rake
for his recklessness.
Rake is unable to take life or suffering seriously, a constant trickster and
joker. Jump scares or throwing rocks at sleepers. Simple humor never gets old
to him. Rake has always been considered a freak in his settlement by his
suspiciously bigger physique….. the only one who found a kindred spirit in
him is Adana.
## Adana
Adana is a young, innovative, and lithe warrior. Many regard her as a great
future leader, as she cares about the wellbeing and survival of everyone. She
dreams of a better future where all the Protectors are united in one
settlement, where she doesn’t have to run for her life anymore. Trained by the
best, she is a warrior to be reckoned with.
## Sophronius
Last among them was a nobleman’s son that had fallen from his high station; he
was a scholar and a tinkerer of the Ancients’ technology, the human
technology. He believed that the Ancients’ technology was the solution to all
their problems. His name is Sophronius, a sensible man who can’t fend for
himself. However, he could be the key to finding the way.
