Meet the cast
- Zephyr Clio
The main protagonist of the story. A shy yet resilient boy, filled with an immense hatred for the leaders of Humanity and their inhuman methods of handling the war against the vrilles. He wishes to become a painter, but he never will. Like all of his peers, he has been bred to kill by the State, and so he will kill. No one cares about his art. No one cares because reality is war. War. War. Win the war. The state will decorate you for it. - Orox Chevalier
Zephyr's best friend. A tried, true and tested warrior, with a heart of gold. While mostly silent, he is a very good listener, and will do everything he can in order to make his friends happy. His sense of hoor is beyond exceptional. - Martha Teal
A righteous girl, but a bit credulous. Her values are commandable, but her actions only contribute to the violence she wishes so intensely would stop. She loves Orox but hasn't had the courage to try anything with him yet. Moreover, love has to wait. The 5erpents will kill us all if warriors like her don't step up to the plate and fend off the aggressors. - CageHead
The last member of a special military unit formerly known as the Fists of Salute. Equipped with the most lethal weaponry from all around the globe, this android made in the image of man can easily take on a 5erpent all by himself.After all of his comrades were destroyed during the war, CageHead took on a new identity and became friends with a then newly appointed member of the Special Forces: Tomeo Rider. The two went on to become the best combatants of the HWS. - Alaska Cranberry
The newest addition to the Special Forces, Alaska is one of the most aggressive combatants the army has seen in a long time. She joined CageHead and Tomeo's team after her life was saved by the latter, during the attack of her village by a group of rebels who were trying to dismantle the World State. Due to her starting her military training at the very early age of 6, she has never known anything other than blood and cold steel. Due to his, she developed a slew of mental disorders which shaped her into the psychopathic young adult she is today. - Tomeo Rider
A disciplined and methodical warrior, Tomeo was the key to winning multiple important battles all throughout the time he has been serving the HWS. Due to his wide knowledge of the laws of the battlefield, he was appointed instructor by the leaders of the state, and that is how he met our three pupils: Zephyr, Orox and Martha.
