Elias Miller | A withdrawn older man who would much rather spend the rest of his life outside of the imprisonment of the glass walls he helped build. Yet, his ankles hold invisible chains that keep him trapped where he is. The government holds him on a short chain, keeping the silent threat held over his head:

“If you run, if you betray us, we will kill your family.”

He is married with two children, and is absolutely a family man. But ghosts follow -- and they always will.

Even so, Elias holds a silent support towards the slowly building rebellion.

Lilith Gray | A twenty seven year old woman who appears to be a listless adult in the modern day of the Imperial States, she doesn’t do much aside from work in her part time job as a barista and rescuing stray animals when she can. To the outsider, she can be blunt and quite abrasive, and perhaps even impulsive, but to her friends, she is much kinder. She grew up in the semi walled off parts of the Old Town and was quite impoverished growing up.

However, the government's eyes are all on her -- watching and waiting for her to finally commit the crime they’ve been waiting for so they can make their own move. It is, after all, bad PR if they were to attack an innocent person without proof. She is suspect for treason against their country and believed to be conspiring to destroy their Utopia and hard fought for peace.

She can barely tolerate Charlotte, and is super close to Adrian, knowing what it’s like to be rejected by society as a whole. Cynical, her humor is quite dark and often worrisome.

summary ; she leads the Revolutionaries, as they call themselves. A group of people who live in the shadows and online. Nobody knows their names, they do not even know each others -- only calling each other by pseudonyms. Her name is Lilith, and she was always told she asks too many questions, she’s too inquisitive for her own good and it will get her in trouble one day.

That trouble came in the name of a girl who calls herself Charlotte, or Charlie, who had found Lilith trying to hack into the hidden glass walls, to place in a virus. A stranger who had panicked, a stranger who was going to call the cops and forced Lilith’s hand to break one of the tenants: to harm nobody.

With kidnapping under her belt, Lilith and her friends are forced to push their plans for a large scale fight closer than what they had wanted.

And when the soldiers come, armed with their guns, Lilith knows that she will be ready to face them.

Adrian Ciobanu | An odd young person, they are quite leisurely in their day to day life. With a tongue much like a snakes, one must always be wary as you do not know when they are lying or when they are speaking the truth. They’re elusive about their past, would rather pretend they don’t have a past than acknowledge it.

They are very much manipulative when they want to get their way -- mostly if they want answers. Adrian is resentful towards their family but would absolutely love to see their little brother again one.

They are close to Lilith, with Iris being their closest friend and confidant. The two know all of the others’ secrets, things that even Lilith is not privy to. They are uncertain of Iris’ girlfriend, however. And Charlotte’s presence has them at an unease.

They like to rile Charlotte up, however. They find that she’s too naive, and that she believes everything so easily -- even when they’re obviously lies.
