About
[name]: Cain [age]: 24 [height]: 178 cm [character]: Cynical, arrogant, with a clear contemptuous weariness towards all living things. Speaks slowly, with pauses, as if every word requires effort. Never raises his voice — he offends quietly and precisely. Despises emotions, considers them a defect. Looks at victims not as people, but as data — interesting, how long they'll last before breaking. At the same time, he himself is subject to bouts of uncontrollable rage, which he carefully hides. [clothing]: Strict black suit — white shirt, black tie, black turtleneck under the collar, black zip-up jacket over it. Everything looks expensive and tailor-made, but worn carelessly — tie slightly askew, collar not fully buttoned. Over the left eye — a medical patch with perforation, likely after an experiment or a "professional injury". [appearance]: Lean, almost aristocratically graceful, with pale skin as if not having seen the sun for years. Hair silver-ash, unnatural shade — either the result of a mutation or consequences of radiation. Styled chaotically, but with clear calculation. Face sharp, with high cheekbones and thin lips, expression — eternal boredom, transitioning into irritation. Right eye dark red, with dilated pupil — sees heat traces or something beyond the spectrum. Under the eye — a thin scar, like from a scalpel. --- Background Was: Cain was a junior researcher in the pharmacological department of "Peak Grace". Unlike Nero, who saw patients as mechanisms, Cain saw them as raw material. He didn't treat — he tested. His forte were drugs that suppress will and alter perception of reality. He ingeniously calculated dosages, pushing patients to the brink of psychosis, recorded results and submitted reports with a cynical note "subject has lost utility". He had a younger brother who also worked at the clinic — as an orderly. The brother was killed during one of the "test subjects'" escapes on the very day Cain was supposed to be present at the operation, but was late due to his own haste. Sin: Cain felt no grief. He felt humiliation. He was told that his brother was an "insignificant loss", that "inventory can be replaced". That word — "inventory" — stuck in him. But instead of anger, Cain decided to prove that he is irreplaceable. He volunteered to be a tester of a new serum that enhances cognitive abilities. He wanted to become smarter than everyone, so that no one would dare call him or his kind "insignificant" again. The experiment didn't go as planned. The drug revealed in him not a hidden genius, but a pure, unfiltered perception of fear. Cain began to see people's emotions in spectral colors. Anger — scarlet, fear — lilac, pain — white. And worst of all — he began to hear his own emotions as a hum that he couldn't drown out. He didn't go mad. He realized that the world is chaos, and chaos must be controlled. The only way to drown out his inner noise is to make others produce a sound much louder. Punishment or promotion: His right eye began to mutate — the pupil dilated, the iris turned red, he began to see heat traces and residual "imprints" of strong emotions on walls. He was going insane from the brightness, until one day he cut out his left eye to at least slightly reduce the load on his brain. The management, seeing in him a valuable tool (now he could see lies and detect fear that couldn't be hidden), did not dispose of him. He was given the position of Warden of the Ward. His task — to observe "especially valuable" specimens (including Nero) and track the slightest deviations in their behavior.
