Zed Churchill"I want to take everything, and then more. I want you to suffer like no man or woman has suffered before, so that there is a special spot waiting for you in hell beside me."Age: 16
Other Aliases: Orphan, Roy Creed (Birth Name)
Current Status: Alive
Appearance: Zed no longer has a human body, and resembles many animals but belongs to no species in particular. He is an imperfect shape shifter and a genetic chimera. His current form parallels that of a large but emancipated dog with an ivory feathered pelt. He has one clear blue eye and a scarlet pupil with a massive wound scaling above and below the eye.
Personality: A boy who has a personality disorder that is neither bipolar nor dissociation. He purposely segregated his positive and negative demeanor through his device (due to the severity of his torture) and can switch between the two of them freely. Throughout the years the personalities were nurtured separately and therefore developed into two very different natures. The lesser of two evils is his delightful childlike charm, unscathed by his inner loathing and selfishness. Because of his conflicting personalities he often falls short of keeping his word.
Background: Zed was a genetic experiment since his conception. His parents (originating in Europe) owed debts to the establishment which employed his father. They conceived strictly to donate to the company after borrowing much of it's wealth as well as a promised promotion. His surrogate mother died in labor due to the undesired birth of twins. The brothers were identical and only distinguishable by the birth defects of the weaker twin. When they were four years of age the company came to retrieve the first born twin but mistakenly took possession of Zed instead. Like the other children the boy was integrated with a device in his cranium which conditions and punishes unwanted actions. With this device Zed was manipulated to believe that the employees and soldiers of the company were wretched creatures. Through years of genetic tampering and exposure to brutal situations the boy was transformed into a beast and devoured the company. The only survivors were Emile and his followers. Zed then turned on Ben, not because he saw him as a monster but because of the sexual abuse the man inflicted upon the boy behind Emile's back. Emile was forced to subdue the beast, storing away his memories and feral form. Zed was sent to live with the Churchill's and attend the nearby school for social rehabilitation. There he shaped his new personality from the students he met. One influenced him the most in particular, and managed to awaken the memories lingering in his device. After murdering his foster father in defense of the girl, he returned to the company to avoid the police. Zed tried to move on and continue serving Emile as an assassin but Augito chased after him. Ever since Zed has seen the girl's black blood after their reunion, he has been strangely possessive and obsessive (enough to even poison himself with it). He revived his bestial body to attack Augito, Emile and anyone else standing in his way. His motives are still unclear.
Maxwell "Roy" Battalion “Why did I help you yesterday? Because I’m a fucking human being. Nothing more nothing less. This is the only time in my life I actually felt good. The only time I wasn’t damn miserable. I don’t have much time left so just let me die happy. Okay?”Age: 16
Other Aliases/Nicknames: Max, Roy
Current Status: Alive
Appearance: Rusty red hair (dyed and fading) with a black under layer growing beneath it. After being maimed by Zed, he has lost his right eye and right arm up to the shoulder. Ears are pierced six times between the pair.
Personality: A rude and vulgar boy who goes out of his way to antagonize others. Known as a bully in his school. He has a soft spot for Augito, because of what they both are going through.
Background: Max spent the majority of his life living under the alias of his twin brother, Roy. He has heart and lung defects from the experimentation while his mother was pregnant and the irregular childbirth. Due to the similarities between the children their step mother always made them wear different color shoes. When the day came for the company to seize Max he switched his shoes with his brother's. Growing up as an only child Max was truly a problematic boy. He was repeatedly kicked out of schools and engaged in a less than moral relationship with his step sister until his step mother forced him to live with his father in the states. In this new school he committed himself to harassing Augito but his dedication only made her consider him a friend. Because of his connection with the girl, his dependent personality inevitably landed him under Hayden's heel.

Emile Hisen
"What a helter-skelter throughput, I could have done better. It will truly be a waste if he dies. Learn some constraint, inadequate dog.”Age: Unknown
Other Aliases: Ekowraith Creator of Worlds, Mikha'el Schwarz (Birth Name)
Current Status: Immortal
Appearance: Has no real physical appearance. He has taken the form of man and elk, due to the influences of his past.
Personality: Often overly enthusiastic, has a habit of smiling while lying, very rarely expresses anger.
Background: One of the last traditional druids. Emile was born as a man named Mikha'el in a fictional Germany. He served his country's military to earn a living to support his family, but fled when the country drafted for war. When his teenage son ran away the boy was apprehended by soldiers. Emile attempted to rescue the child but instead chose to fall from the helicopter and suffer fatal injuries. He was nurtured back to life by what his country folk called an Ekowraith in the appearance of a stag. The immortal creature belong to a tribe of shape shifters whom had long forsaken mankind from their cycles due to man's tendency of waging war. Allured by the man's distaste of the battlefield the druid shared his everlasting life with him in hopes that Emile could change mankind's reputation for the better. But the man used his resources to terrorize the military and form his own, shape shifting family. He is currently pursuing more knowledge about the Black Blood, which greatly inspired his experiments.

Current Status: Deceased (Slain by Augito)
Appearance: Dressed as a boy with a crippled foot. Wields a scythe.
Personality: Rose is an extremely shy young girl who has not yet hit puberty. Her anxiety stems from her history in the company and her isolation from the outside world. Her timidness borders being socially handicapped and is privately tutored at home rather than attending school.
Background: One of Emile's experimental children. Rose was taken from her family at a young age similar to her foster brother. Shes referred to by the other children as a motherly figure because her human cells are divided between all the experiments. When Rose's foster father was killed by her foster brother Zed, she was taken back to the company by Hisen. She was then assaulted by her unstable brother, who nearly gnawed her foot off. She escaped with the help of the cat Abel, cut her hair and disguised herself as a boy to elude her brother and the company. Like her brother she also viewed the world as an ugly place until Hayden and his flowers convinced her there was still some beauty left in it. She died soon after.

Abel"Kaiyo boy, you make it sound so crude. I'm not supposed to make sense. These fine statements or contradictions-whatever they may be, they leave an opening to fill in personal opinions. Take it as you like, only I know what I'm saying. Only I know what I'm not saying."Age: Unknown

Roger managed to release the experimental children, but Zed was accused for the act and did not escape with the others. With the child's disappearance Roger continued to seek him out until he was mortally wounded by the monster made from his son. He became the company's next experiment, to replace those lost. Some say the general is still searching for his son.
