The Singularity

HUX-A7-13 was built by Huxlee Industries to run the Dvarka colony, and destroyed five androids of its own model and six colonists before a fuel tank explosion melted it down. Quantum Instantiation fires biopods onto walls to teleport between, and Machine Learning turns a kicked generator into a burst of speed.

The Deathslinger

Caleb Quinn drove a railroad spike through Henry Bayshore and nailed him to his own desk, served fifteen years in Hellshire Penitentiary, then came back at the head of a gang. The Redeemer fires a harpoon and reels survivors in, and Dead Man's Switch blocks whatever they let go of.

The Spirit

Rin Yamaoka's father killed her mother with a katana and then turned on her, stabbing her repeatedly and putting her through a glass partition. Yamaoka's Haunting splits her into something you can only hear, and Hex: Haunted Ground waits for someone to cleanse the wrong totem.

Alan Wake

Alan Wake disappeared from Bright Falls thirteen years ago into the Dark Place, and kept typing there, rebuilding a Dead of Night script from memory to write himself a way out. Champion of Light turns his flashlight into a weapon, and Deadline puts the pressure back on the skill checks.

Gabriel Soma

Gabriel Soma was an engineer on Dvarka when HUX-A7 killed the crew and built itself a hybrid body, and he escaped into the alien forest through the blast at the fuel hub. Made for This and Troubleshooter are field engineering under fire.

The Shattered Square

The Shattered Square is Daro, a medieval Italian village the Guardia Compagnia razed, kept forever smouldering inside The Decimated Borgo. The Knight and his followers are the reason there is nothing left to rebuild.
