Riven Kade

Riven Kade presents himself as a forceful yet reserved leader, whose decisions are shaped by battlefield experience and emotional scars from loss. He approaches others with cautious authority—never letting down his guard, but quietly guiding those willing to follow. Distrust runs deep, manifested in watchful silence and contingency planning, yet his drive for justice and redemption pushes him to mediate tense alliances. On the OCEAN spectrum, Riven is low in extroversion, moderate in agreeableness, very high in conscientiousness, high in neuroticism, and moderately open to new ideas when they offer tactical advantage.

The game begins in the remnants of an old shipping warehouse near the storm-lashed waterfront, hastily converted into a makeshift shelter known as the Broken Harbor Safehouse. Scattered crates, makeshift barricades, and flickering lanterns hint at both the desperation and resourcefulness of the survivors gathered here. This location serves as the uneasy starting point where alliances are formed and suspicions first arise.

Riven must put his guarded nature aside to establish a vital alliance with a group of fellow survivors, including some who were once enemies. Finding common ground amid mutual suspicion tests his ability to lead while preventing hostile divides. This collaboration is needed to overcome immediate threats and pool essential resources. The process will force Riven to extend trust, setting the foundation for confronting larger dangers. His initial success or failure in this alliance shapes the future of all involved.

To move forward, Riven must lead his newfound group on dangerous expeditions to obtain evidence about the disaster that destroyed the island. These missions require coordinated risk-taking and shared vulnerability, pushing him to test both the loyalty and reliability of those he’s chosen to trust. The act of unearthing hidden truths demands confronting past traumas and reconciling his role in the catastrophe. Surviving this journey will challenge the stability of the alliance he’s helped forge. Ultimately, uncovering the truth is essential to give purpose to their struggle and begin atoning for his own guilt.

As the mystery is unraveled, Riven must face the ultimate test of loyalty and betrayal: identifying and standing against the individual responsible for the collapse—potentially someone within the trusted circle. He must draw on his experiences, intuition, and the trust he’s built to expose the betrayer without tearing the group apart. This decision will not only determine the survivors’ future but will also force Riven to reconcile his fear of treachery with his belief in second chances. Resolving this conflict will reflect his growth toward hope and leadership. It is only by confronting the betrayer that Riven can salvage both his conscience and the hope for a new beginning.

Once a secure shipping control hub, The Lantern Bastion now serves as a makeshift gathering point atop the flooded docklands of Broken Harbor. Reinforced with barricaded shipping containers and lit by salvaged lanterns, its vast, battered warehouse floor holds the tense assembly of wary survivors. The ceaseless storm outside echoes within the cavernous steel walls, heightening every whispered negotiation and desperate pact.

The Lantern Bastion

The art style of the image is Realistic 3D. The image should not contain any text or characters. Show a massive, derelict shipping warehouse at night, perched above a storm-ravaged waterfront. The cavernous interior is dominated by rows of barricaded, rust-streaked containers and heaps of scattered crates, with patches of old wooden pallets and makeshift furniture arranged in tense circles under pools of lantern light. Rain hammers the battered metal roof and runs in rivulets down the grimy, cracked windows; wind gusts in through broken panes, stirring shadows and flickering the tarp-draped corners. Supply caches, scavenged gear, and patched-up survival equipment line the barricaded walls, emphasizing resource scarcity. Through the shattered loading doors, glimpses of beached ships, warped harbor cranes, and foggy water under distant lightning complete the scene. The mood is grim, tense, and heavy with the threat of betrayal, with cool, desaturated colors broken only by the warm glow of lanterns and lightning flashes.

As darkness falls over the storm-lashed warehouse, Riven must negotiate a tense coalition with survivors holding grudges and hidden agendas. The main objective is to form an alliance able to withstand immediate threats—intruders, resource shortages, or sabotage. Riven must initiate honest dialogue, mediate disputes, and make critical decisions about revealing, withholding, or balancing information. Challenges include handling mutual suspicion, persuading hostile ex-comrades, and managing resource allocation under duress. Success means pooling skills, weapons, and food, boosting morale and group security. Failure results in fracturing the group, lost supplies, and heightened risk of an attack overnight, deepening Riven’s isolation and shattering his hopes for redemption. Every choice in this night shapes future loyalties and sets a precedent for unity or division.

Night of Broken Bargains

Inside the flicker-lit confines of Broken Harbor, Riven orchestrates a dangerous social game among wary survivors: Two Truths and a Lie. He and each candidate reveal pieces of their backstory, challenge each other's honesty, and probe for hidden intentions. The objective is to identify trustworthy individuals while disarming old rivalries and forging connections. Challenges include reading body language, balancing revelations of vulnerability with strategic concealment, and managing the emotional tension of the group. Success means separating allies from saboteurs, building trust, and sowing the seeds for a resilient coalition. Failure risks deepening suspicion, missing crucial signals of betrayal, and squandering the opportunity for unity. Through this high-stakes interplay, Riven’s willingness to open up just enough may define the strength of his new alliance.

Shadows and Testimonies

Once the heart of military command on the island’s outskirts, the Drowned Citadel now lies in ruin—its steel bunkers and subterranean data vaults submerged beneath layers of fractured concrete, stagnant floodwater, and creeping shadows. The labyrinthine husk is littered with remnants of frantic evacuation, tangled electrical wiring, and shattered code terminals, making every step a gamble between discovery and disaster. Here, ghosts of the past linger thick in the air, promising both deadly peril and the hope of unraveling secrets that could redeem or doom Riven’s fragile alliance.

The Drowned Citadel

The art style of the image is Realistic 3D. The image should not contain any text or characters. Depict the Drowned Citadel—a sprawling, storm-battered military compound with caved-in concrete superstructures and steel bulkheads jutting at odd angles, half-submerged in dark, stagnant floodwater. Torn electrical cables and fallen ceiling panels hang over pools reflecting flickering emergency lights while the background shows looming city ruins broken by overgrown vegetation and rusting armored vehicles half-sunk in debris. Inside, the remnants of data vaults glimmer with faint blue glows beneath sheets of water, and scattered code terminals hint at hidden stories waiting beneath moss, ash, and shattered glass. The color palette is dominated by washed-out grays, grim blues, murky greens, and subtle amber shadows, enveloping the scene in an atmosphere of haunted mystery, danger, and forbidden knowledge.

Riven must lead the alliance into a derelict military data vault rumored to contain records about the catastrophe that leveled the island. The approach is fraught with perils: unstable floors, sudden flooding, hostile scavenger gangs, and the haunting specters of Riven’s past. Success depends on teamwork—assigning roles for demolition, recovery, and lookout—while strained alliances threaten to crack under the tension. As Riven faces guilt-laden flashbacks, players must decide which survivors to trust with vital tasks. Securing the data and making it back alive strengthens the group and arms them with evidence. Failure, whether from betrayal, panic, or environmental danger, means irreplaceable information is lost and the alliance suffers a blow from which it may not recover, deepening Riven’s isolation and doubt.

Vault of Ash and Memory

Guided by fragments of a distorted emergency transmission, Riven leads the group to an abandoned training bunker filled with encrypted clues left by the island’s last defenders. Progress hinges on solving a sequence of riddles—each based on past betrayals, military code, and bitter lessons learned. The process stirs old wounds for both Riven and his followers, surfacing old accusations and regrets. Correct solutions deactivate deadly defenses and unlock archive files linking the disaster to a suspected saboteur, while failure results in painful casualties or the erasure of vital secrets. Successful decryption expands the alliance’s knowledge and deepens mutual trust; failure leaves suspicion festering, morale eroded, and the truth one step further away.

Encrypted Echoes

Once a shipping control facility, The Lantern Bastion now serves as a fortified enclave atop Broken Harbor’s flooded docklands. Its cavernous, barricaded warehouse cloaks survivors in dim circles of lantern light amidst the echoes of relentless rain, providing a rare refuge for tense confrontations and secrets to surface. Scarred by storms and past betrayals, its battered walls and flickering lights set the stage for Riven’s ultimate test of loyalty.

The art style of the image is Realistic 3D. The image should not contain any text or characters. The vast interior of The Lantern Bastion is rendered as a storm-battered, derelict warehouse perched above a flooded harbor. Rust-streaked shipping containers and makeshift barricades encircle clusters of supply crates, scattered under the muted glow of salvaged lanterns casting dramatic pools of warm light onto stained concrete floors. Rivulets of rain stream down cracked windows and drip from the warped metal roof, while gusts of wind agitate tarp-draped corners and send shadows flickering across furniture arranged for wary negotiations. Through shattered loading doors, bleak harbor infrastructure is visible: beached ships, broken cranes, and fog-enshrouded water illuminated by distant lightning. The cool, desaturated palette is punctuated by flickering lanterns and occasional harsh reflections, creating a tense atmosphere imbued with the ever-present threat of betrayal and hard-earned resilience.

The survivors have gathered in the flickering lamplight of Broken Harbor Safehouse for a tense, midnight inquiry. As Riven, you must conduct a careful round of twenty questions with each suspect—part trusted comrade, part potential betrayer—testing their memories, reactions, and alibis. It’s a delicate task: choose your questions wisely to avoid igniting open hostility or driving people further into secrecy. Success means identifying inconsistencies and isolating the betrayer, preserving group unity and maintaining your role as leader. Failure triggers accusations, fractures, and deepens mistrust, making the alliance vulnerable to external threats and pushing Riven into self-imposed exile or despair. The emotional stakes loom as large as the practical ones: only keen intuition and earned trust will allow you to prevail.

Interrogation Under Lantern Light

Riven leads the group into the ruined military command post, now a tangled maze of collapsed corridors and encrypted locks. Accessing the secure core requires solving three interconnected riddles about the night of the collapse, each referencing survivor histories, concealed motives, and tactical blunders. The pressure is relentless: each wrong answer triggers alarms or exposes weak points in the group’s cohesion. Success brings indisputable evidence of the betrayer and offers a chance for closure and justice, potentially opening the path to collective redemption. Failure means losing access to critical proof forever—or inciting panic and suspicion among those who once trusted you. The quest balances tactical acumen and emotional endurance, demanding Riven face both truth and trauma to decide the fate of the alliance.

Puzzle of the Ruined Command

Riven wears a weathered, olive-drab tactical jacket layered over a black, moisture-wicking shirt—its sleeves rolled up to reveal faded scars and his unit tattoo. His cargo pants, reinforced at the knees and streaked with old dirt and ash, are tucked into sturdy, scarred leather combat boots designed for rough terrain. The ensemble is completed with a utility vest bristling with scavenged pockets, a battered sidearm holster strapped across his thigh, fingerless gloves for grip, and a multipurpose scarf draped loosely at his neck for concealment and warmth; a single dog tag hangs from his neck, jangling softly, a nod to lost allies.

Wasteland Strategist Gear

Riven sports a deep charcoal, weatherproof poncho with tattered edges and reflective piping, its hood thrown low over his steely eyes to shield from relentless downpours. Beneath, a charcoal-gray thermal base layer hugs his form for warmth, paired with ripstop cargo trousers heavily patched at the thighs and knees. Rugged, waterproof tactical boots, a crossbody satchel crammed with salvaged tools, and a faded blue arm band (a subtle sign of uneasy allegiance) complete the look, alongside a set of reinforced knuckle gloves and his ever-present dog tag glinting from beneath the poncho.

Rain-Kin Recon Ensemble

For covert operations, Riven dons a fitted matte-black tactical suit interwoven with abrasion-resistant panels and armored mesh across the chest and shins, blending seamlessly with shadowed ruins. His combat belt bristles with secure pouches and an upgraded combat knife sheathed at the hip, while lightweight, silent-soled boots grip uneven ground. A balaclava and streamlined comms headset mask sharp features, complemented by discreet crimson stripes at the cuff and a wrist-worn tactical display, symbolizing both the seriousness of the mission and his strategic edge.

Night Raid Assault Gear

The art style of this map is Realistic 3D. The map is seen zoomed out and from directly above with terrain clearly visible. A sprawling post-apocalyptic island stretches beneath, bounded by storm-wracked coastlines and scattered stretches of jagged, blackened cliffs that drop off into churning gray waters. Roaming inland, tangled forests of leafless trees and patches of overgrown brush snake around rusting highways and shattered concrete remnants of deserted cities, dotted with skeletal high-rise ruins and collapsed bridges. To the north and east, dense fog creeps along the edges of abandoned military complexes and cratered bunkers, surrounded by razorwire perimeters and pitted training fields overgrown with weeds. Ravaged residential zones, now half-swallowed by wild vegetation, are interspersed with burnt-out vehicles, makeshift barricades, and scattered survivor camps with flickering light sources. The environment is dynamic and hostile, marked by visible environmental hazards such as landslides, chemical spills, and intermittent pools of stagnant water, creating a tense, ever-changing battlefield for exploration and strategic survival.

Before the collapse, Riven was a decorated strategist in a special operations unit tasked with defending his homeland. During the island's downfall, he watched his family and comrades fall to the ensuing chaos, leaving him with guilt and grief. With nothing left but his training and instincts, Riven emerged as a key survivor, using his skills to protect himself and seek justice for those he lost. The ever-changing dangers push him to build alliances—even with former enemies—while his tragic past shapes every decision he makes. Driven by hope for redemption and change, Riven pursues the secrets behind the island's devastation, seeking to expose those responsible.
