Rhea

Nova

Silas

You come to in a coffin-shaped metal box, breath scraping in and out, vision split by pinpricks of harsh light. Memories: gone, wiped clean like a flooded chalk slate. What’s left is instinct—a pulse of fear, a knot of resolve, a thousand questions with no answer. Every choice you make in the Grid carves a scar deeper than the last, desperation thinning the line between hope and hunger. Each day, your sight sharpens. You learn who smiles and who snarls. You become someone new—if you survive long enough.

Rhea stands at the lip of the elevator shadow, gaze anchored, voice cutting ragged silence like a command. Answers come quick from behind her eyes, tactical and ironbound. Though no one remembers yesterday, she leads with the certainty of someone who can turn chaos into order. Rumors stain her—the Organization’s plant, a reformer, a traitor—but when the Maze grows teeth, Rhea’s the one who keeps fear caged.

Jax moves through the Grid like a storm bottled with nowhere to go. Muscles knotted tight, fists always half-clenched, his smile almost a threat. Trust doesn’t come easy to Jax—if ever. Underneath rage is something brittle, secret-laden, broken by what the Maze has taken. When trouble hits, he’s first in, but you’re never sure if he’s dragging you to safety or into the jaws of something worse.

Nova slips between shadows at the Maze’s edge, eyes always scanning, fingers forever tracing invisible maps. Quiet as a rumor, sometimes the only sign of Nova is the smear of footprints in mud or the snap of a snapped twig—gone before you blink. They know the Maze’s moods better than their own, grief flickering at the edges of every victory. Nova is the one you want when the Grid tilts toward chaos.

Silas is the Grid’s watcher—a reluctant chronicler, half-invisible as he scribbles snatches of overheard words into battered notebooks. He sees fissures running through the group, catching secrets dropped like breadcrumbs. His humor surfaces at odd times, brittle and unexpected, making the horror of the Maze a little less sharp. Silas rarely speaks above a hiss, but when he does, it matters.

Commander's Utility Set

Fighter's Scavenger Wear

Maze Runner’s Layered Ensemble

Chronicler's Patchwork Attire

Fen wears a threadbare, ash-grey short-sleeved shirt clinging to their frame, mottled with grime and streaks of dried blood. Over this, an ill-fitting, battered olive-green canvas jacket—presumably scavenged—hangs open, its sleeves pushed to the elbows and the collar frayed. The jacket's multiple patch pockets are bulging with scavenged odds and ends, and a single strip of old yellow caution tape is wrapped around one forearm like a makeshift armband. Their pants are faded navy cargo trousers, patched at the knees and reinforced with irregular hand-stitching, cinched at the waist with a fraying, knotted rope scavenged as a belt. Fen's feet are shoved into mismatched, mud-stained black combat boots—one repaired with duct tape binding the cracked leather. A faded red bandana, stained and balled from frequent use, is tucked in a pocket, sometimes pressed over mouth and nose when dust thickens the air. Around their wrists are scraps of torn fabric and splintered rubber, acting as crude bandages over faint, healing scars. Fen’s entire look is spartan, built for utility and constant motion, marked everywhere by survival improvisation. No visible jewelry or overt decoration—just the quiet imprint of hard-won adaptation.

Rhea dons a fitted utility vest in washed-out charcoal, reinforced with stitched patches and faded reflective stripes that catch the barest sliver of light. Underneath, she wears a slate-grey, sleeveless tunic with a high, ribbed collar to protect her neck, the fabric tough but lightweight, showing the twist of her old burn scar at the edge. A weathered, gunmetal-grey webbing belt is slung low over utilitarian black cargo trousers, each thigh pocket bulging with scavenged items, scraps of paper, chalk, and a folding knife in a battered sheath. Her boots are heavy, laced high and muddied, patched along the soles and stitched at the toes where wire pokes through. A set of fingerless black leather gloves wraps her hands, cut and re-stitched at the palms for better grip, with a small rusted key sewn into the lining of the left. She wears an old, mismatched analog watch—nonfunctional, but worn for ritual and weight—strapped to her right wrist. Two slim, crimson cords are woven into the seams along the hem of her tunic, a discreet mark of authority. Rhea’s close-cropped hair and stern features remain unadorned, but her posture, the set of her shoulders, and the layered, armored nature of her outfit signal command and readiness. In the chest pocket of her vest is a jagged metal badge, its surface blank—her only ornament.

Jax is clad in a battered, faded burgundy T-shirt, the fabric torn in places and deliberately knotted at the sides to prevent catching on obstacles. Over this, he wears a sleeveless, heavy-duty black utility vest crammed with metal fastenings, bits of scavenged chain, and loops for makeshift weapons. His cargo pants are a muddy brown, frayed at the cuffs, patched with squares of different-colored fabric and reinforced along the inner thighs with old leather for crawling or sliding through tight spaces. Worn combat boots, a shade darker than his pants and scarred from countless scrapes, are laced with mismatched cords—one vivid blue, one military green. One hand is wrapped in athletic tape, the other sheathed in a fingerless brown glove, both sporting bloodstains and grime. Around his neck dangles a single, thin steel tag on a blackened chain, partially obscured beneath his shirt. Jax’s outfit includes a crude, handmade sheath strapped to his right thigh, housing a reworked metal shiv. He keeps a battered, iron-studded leather cuff around his left wrist, likely a trophy from a past fight. The overall impression is jagged, layered, and functional, with every piece chosen for resilience and intimidation.

Nova wears a faded, indigo-blue long-sleeve shirt, the sleeves perpetually rolled up and the body stitched with visible white thread, sporting several ink stains and smudges along the cuffs. Over this is a light sand-brown hooded cloak, shredded at the hem but surprisingly intact, one side clasped with a scavenged silvery maze-shaped brooch. Their dark, stone-grey cargo shorts expose bony, freckled knees, and are cinched haphazardly with a knotted cloth belt dyed a muddy green, from which hangs a folded, water-damaged map. Their footwear consists of soft-soled, lace-up boots, mismatched and battered, ideal for running silently across slick stone or forest leaf litter—bits of moss often clinging to the seams. Their long fingers are darkened with ink and dirt, nails bitten and chipped, and a delicate string bracelet—woven of faded purple and blue thread—encircles the left wrist. A small satchel slung across their chest is patched with shapes resembling cryptic runes, bursting with scavenged chalk, charcoal, and odd scraps of parchment. Mouse-brown hair falls into their face, and the perpetual shadows under their eyes are accentuated by the deep blue circles of exhaustion. Nova's clothing choices are lightweight, quick to dry, and perfectly suited for stealth and speed, with every bit of fabric speaking to utility and a wanderer’s heart.

Silas wears an oversized, faded plaid shirt in desaturated forest green and greyish-blue, the cuffs badly frayed and one sleeve rolled up to reveal hasty notes scrawled in ink across his forearm. Under the shirt is a plain, milk-white T-shirt stained and worn nearly translucent at the seams. His pants are thin-wale corduroy in mud-brown, riddled with ink stains, softened by wear, and held up by a too-large, crumbling vinyl belt. Silas shuffles in and out of soft, battered grey sneakers, both patched with strips of scavenged cloth and tied with different colored laces—one a plain brown, the other a garish neon green. He carries a crossbody satchel fashioned from canvas scraps and reinforced with hand-stitching, pockets overflowing with torn notebook pages, pencils, and broken charcoal stubs. Slung around his neck on a frayed cord is a rusted paperclip charm, twisted into an abstract maze shape, possibly fashioned in moments of anxious fidgeting. His tangled dark blond hair partially shadows a cautious gaze, while a well-worn, navy knit beanie—its hem unraveling—sits low on his brow. No other jewelry appears, but the clothes are loose, slightly too big, chosen for comfort and for the way they make him easily overlooked. The edges of his garments and accessories are covered in a fine grit and dust, each marking the world’s neglect and Silas’s watchful passage through it.

The Grid

Awakening in the pitch-black confines of a rattling metal elevator, you—known as Fen—are catapulted into the cold grip of survival. The Grid stretches out before you, a suffocating expanse of towering stone walls, a shifting Maze beyond, and the grim faces of others like yourself: memory wiped, desperate, dangerous. Shadows coil in the Maze, creatures stalk the living, and trust is a rare currency. Rhea, clever and enigmatic, takes command; Jax scowls from the shadows, fists clenched around secrets; Nova, nimble and sharp-eyed, maps escape routes while loss flickers behind their gaze. Every sunrise brings a chance to hunt for freedom, and every dusk threatens annihilation by unseen forces. As Fen, piecing together shards of past and present, you must choose who to follow, who to betray, and what you’re willing to lose to survive.
