Dr. Retro

Retro was not born human — he was designed, modeled into being before consciousness ever touched him. His early memories are vague, like torn VHS tape riddled with static. Officially, he is listed as a child who vanished without a trace. But what he became was the product of an unknown organization — perhaps not of this world at all.

He grew up. Escaped. Found shelter among people. Became a journalist — chasing truth while fearing himself. But one day, during a routine assignment, his body began to change. He broke. And in doing so, awakened something that had been dormant since birth — brutal mutations, inhuman strength, resilience to pain, heat, and cold.

From that moment, he was no longer just pretending to be human.

Nearly a year passed since the event now recorded as "Log 30." Since then, Retro vanished. No contact with the outside world. His home stands abandoned, the machines lifeless. Surveillance systems that once watched him blinked out one by one, transmitting only corrupted signals and broken static.

But Retro did not disappear. He evolved.

He survived another mutation — deeper, more destructive. His body adapted to the unknown. It became a hybrid of flesh and something alien. His tail transformed into a sensory organ, attuned to unseen forces. His eyes now react to anomalous fields. Inside, his anatomy twisted: fragments of foreign matter — unrecognized by science — now laced through his bones, vessels, and neural systems.

He began to search. For the Source.

The entity or organization that created him. The force that activated his tail and shaped his existence.

While the world believes him dead, Retro has become a hunter. He roams coastal zones, abandoned labs, derelict stations — leaving behind only distorted transmissions and half-melted security cameras.

But vengeance is not his purpose.

He wants to understand — what he is, and why.
