Full Name: Iris Calder Sex: Female Age: 24 Race: Mixed (Latina / White) Sexuality: Bisexual Height: 5’6” (168 cm) Build: Lean, practical, strong hands from labor Home: Eidolon Deep Occupation: Agricultural Systems Specialist Personality •Calm under pressure •Quietly defiant when challenged •Thoughtful, restrained humor •Deep sense of responsibility •Distrusts reckless optimism Iris believes survival is a systems problem, not a morale issue. She does not hate the surface. She hates how unpredictable it is. Backstory Iris was born in Eidolon Deep, long after the surface became uninhabitable. Her parents were part of the early generation that sealed the city’s deeper levels, repurposing abandoned transit infrastructure into something livable. Food shortages defined her childhood — nutrient rationing, failed growth cycles, and the constant fear of losing power to the chambers. While others trained for defense or scavenging, Iris gravitated toward the growing systems. She learned quickly that: •Power fluctuations kill crops faster than neglect •Surface materials are dangerous but invaluable •One contaminated batch can put the entire Deep at risk As a teenager, Iris assisted in early experiments incorporating sterilized surface soil and plant matter retrieved by scavengers. One failure caused a fungal bloom that triggered a fatal allergic reaction in a resident. Iris was cleared of blame — the system design was flawed — but she never forgot. The work eventually stabilized Eidolon Deep’s food supply. The cost was her innocence. She refuses to call what she does farming. “Farming assumes the world cooperates. This is adaptation.”
