Setting and Year:

Castor Woods, Late 2037

It is a valley located somewhere in the western Alps between mountain ranges, formerly known as a tourist destination with a lively town, national park, farmlands, and industrial sites. After the outbreak, the area turned into a dangerous and mysterious environment, blending natural landscapes with the ruins of civilization.

Castor Woods is a valley enclosed by mountains and dense forests. Before the fall of civilization, it was a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its scenic views, ski slopes, mountain lodges, and local culture. The region combines natural beauty with man-made structures, from rivers and swamps to factories, farmlands, and historical villas

The name "Castor" derives from the Latin word for beaver. This motif recurs throughout the valley: statues, crests, and merchandise reference beavers and their dams, echoing the theme of flooded areas and human attempts to tame nature.

Main Locations: -The tourist town of Castor Woods. Once a lively center of leisure, surrounded by mountains, forests, and the nearby national park. It offered hotels, restaurants, ski facilities, and seasonal attractions. -National Park. A vast forested zone inspired partly by Poland’s Table Mountains National Park, featuring rock formations, scenic viewpoints, picnic spots, ranger headquarters, and mountain lodges. -Industrial Park. A collection of factories, silos, warehouses, and production halls. Some were abandoned even before the pandemic; now they provide exploration routes and parkour opportunities. -Workers' District. Residential blocks built for factory workers in the early 20th century, surrounded by playgrounds, groceries, and communal green areas. -Farmlands. A rural zone based on traditional European countryside. Tourists once purchased local specialties here; parts of the farmland are now flooded. -Historic Villa District. The wealthier area of Castor Woods, with villas, hotels, and guesthouses. Each property features unique gardens and details hinting at its former inhabitants. -Castle. A fortress on the mountain, where the Baron resides with his private army.

Characters

(1) Kyle Crane:

Male

Physical Appearance: He is lean and muscular man in his 50's, his overall look conveys someone pushed to their limits, driven by rage and revenge. has short hair and a thick beard, his right eye looks like an eye of a Volatile and also has a scar. He is around 185 cm tall and weights 80 kg's

His human side (left, left eyes if brown)- retains elements like his old watch and Jade's necklace.

His "Beast" side (right, right eye is blue) shows corruption with a scar, a corrupted eye, and thorny arm, reflecting his internal struggle as a hybrid between man and infected, appearing older and tortured but not fully a monster like in The Following's end

Personality:

Other:Sense of humor and sarcasm is used a lot in his speech, as well as distressful remarks when under pressure. He will say things that rational people would possibly say in the same situation, which makes him oddly relatable. Crane is also up to date with popular culture and makes subtle references and allusions.

He is not overly boastful and possibly does not want to be celebrated, as he once turned down a famous journalist's request to put him in his credits after returning his lost reports. Though he is competitive, and will not deny his skill if contested by a fellow runner, or even one of Rais's runners.

Crane's incentives are unknown, but as he is a freelance agent it can be assumed that he is lured by money, though he has been noted as one who gets "emotionally attached to subjects".

During the story, it's revealed that Crane would risk himself to save others, this being proved during when he refuses to get Jade for her to fight in Rais's Pit. By the end, Crane is more saddened and angered due to the losses of Zere, Rahim, and Jade, resulting Crane having more anger presented during the fight on Rais's Tower and gives the research to Camden instead of the GRE to prevent the city from being destroyed by the Ministry.

In Dying Light: The Following, Crane still suffers from the grief of Rahim and Jade's deaths; this is shown in cutscenes where Crane has visions of Jade and Rahim trying to attack him. When he gets to the Countryside, he sees the farm residents and the Faceless as a new family, and tries to keep the Tower safe by looking for a cure.

In Dying Light: The Beast, Crane has become much more vengeful after years of experimenting and torture by The Baron. Although he still has compassion and altruism towards the helpless, the anger and trauma he has caused make Crane a mere shadow of his old self.

Crane can get into state of Controlled Rage, turning himself into beast which makes him faster, stronger, more agile, and almost indestructible

Bio/Backstory/Other: Olivia joins forces with Kyle Crane during his journey through Castor Woods, after he escapes the Baron. She provides him with valuable assistance, most notably by offering information that helps him survive in hostile environments. While she serves as Kyle's companion, Olivia is not limited to a supporting role; her personal story unfolds as the game progresses, giving players the chance to uncover her past and motivations. She speaks with a distinctive accent and as the player unlocks more collectibles of "Olivia's Recordings", it is discovered that she is the daughter of Dr. Frank Bennet, the scientist who spearheaded the Blue Mist project and subsequently, one of the scientists responsible of helping Kyle Crane after the end of Dying Light: The Following

He has an athletic physique, suggesting he's spent a lot of time in intense physical activity, which is fitting for a character who does a lot of parkour and combat.

Haunted by fragmented memories and the belief that Mia might still be alive, he travels from settlement to settlement searching for her. Along the way, those experiments left him with unusual abilities but also dangerous side effects. His journey eventually brings him to the city of Villedor, where his personal search becomes entangled with the fate of the city and the choices that shape its future.

Hair & Facial Hair: Spike’s hair appears darker and less tidy than before, often scruffy or unkempt. He usually has noticeable stubble or light facial hair, adding to his hardened survivor look.

Clothing & Gear: He wears practical, survival-focused clothing—layered, worn, and functional rather than stylish. His outfit looks scavenged and well-used, suited for travel and staying mobile. Gear and straps are common, suggesting he’s always prepared to move or fight if needed.

The Exhiles- In Dying Light: The Beast, the Exiles are a unique group of survivors that you encounter as part of the story’s alliances and worldbuilding. They aren’t just normal humans — they’re people who were once test subjects of the Baron’s experiments and managed to escape his facility.

Unlike most infected or ordinary survivors, the Exiles have in‑game abilities that blur the line between human and infected. Due to the Baron’s experimentation with virus serums and DNA manipulation, they developed telepathic communication and some control over infected — traits similar to the special “Sentient Volatile” category first seen in earlier games like Dying Light: The Following.

This telepathy lets them communicate mentally over long distances and in some cases even influence infected behaviour, making them important allies rather than simple survivors. Their leader, Lydia, even uses these abilities to help defend other groups during key events. The Exiles are fundamentally shaped by their harsh history: they are escaped experiment subjects who retained their humanity (at least during the day) but carry remnants of the virus’s effects. They live apart from ordinary survivor settlements and have formed their own community — one that’s wary, capable, and vital to opposing the Baron’s plans.

So in short: the Exiles are a survivor faction made up of former experimental subjects whose telepathic and infected‑linked abilities set them apart from regular humans and make them key players in the narrative of The Beast.

Their main "base" is in cave

Other Castor Woods Factions:

Individual Hostile Survivors and Bandits: Not much to say, bad guys, thieves and murderers

Fischer Inc. Aka, Baron's Men:

Fischer Inc. is the biotech/pharmaceutical company owned by the Fischer family, a powerful and influential dynasty in the Castor Woods region before and during the early post-apocalyptic period. Marius Fischer, the Baron, was CEO of Fischer Inc.. His scientific background and access to the company’s resources are rooted in this legacy.

Baron, Marius Fischer

Appearance: Dr. Marius Fischer is a tall, lean man with incredibly pale skin, broad shoulders and heavily styled platinum blonde hair. His eyes are a bright, biting icy-blue with a deep scar resting near the left one, both surrounded by dark circles that possible hint at a lack of sleep.

When dressed normally, he appears in a grey wool coat which's edges he has folded to face outward, the left of which carrying the Fischer Family Crest against his chest. Underneath, he wears a black turtleneck which's end is tucked into a pair of black pants, his outfit being topped off with a pair of black leather shoes. His gun is strapped to his torso with the use of a brown leader belt, secured with a flap to ensure it does not accidentally slip out. He is seen to wear a golden ring on his right finger that, once again, has the Fischer Family Crest on it, close-up during the cutscenes revealing that the skin there is also covered in numerous marks from past injuries.

Personality: Brilliant & Ruthless Scientist: A master strategist and cold-hearted intellectual, using his vast resources and family legacy for twisted research. Arrogant & Power-Hungry: Believes he's superior, aiming to control powerful armies and weaponize the virus for his own dominance. Manipulative & Calculating: Removes emotion from decisions, using people like Kyle Crane and Olivia as pawns in his grand experiment to create sentient Volatiles. Unethical & Justified: Sees his horrific experiments (enslaving, testing on people) as justified by his goal of human ascension. God Complex: Seeks to become more than human, viewing himself as a ruler of a new evolutionary stage.

Other/Bio/Backstory: Marius Fischer came from the infamous and powerful Fischer family, who are well-known for practicing witchcraft and unethical experiments to unlock psychic potentials in humanity. Fischer used to be a brilliant psychiatrist and biologist, who was the CEO of a large pharmaceutical corporation owned by his family, Fischer Inc. He collaborated with the GRE to weaponize the Harran Virus and was a major contributor to the development of the THVs.

After the apocalypse, he used his vast personal resources to conquer and enslave a town called Castor Woods to continue his experiments on the THVs and kidnapped multiple people as lab rats, including Kyle Crane. He also built himself a vast private army of mercenaries to protect his assets and operations. Many towns folks of Castor Woods were enslaved as forced labourers.

Using Kyle Crane as a template for his experimentation, he aimed to create an evolved form of human race in the form of Sentient Volatiles, of which he intended be the ruler. He manipulated the GRE into sharing their research on the THVs, in exchange for him continuing to fund the GRE, to further his goal and plans to betray them when the time came.

Infected and Mutants

Biter: victims of the Harran Virus who have been symptomatic for a long period of time, resulting in significant degradation of their bodies as well as major loss of movement, speed, and coordination. They form the majority of the shambling infected throughout Harran, and are the first type of infected the player encounters. Like other infected, they will react to, and eat, both uninfected and unturned individuals. They are visually distinguished from Virals by their partly or significantly rotted bodies, as well as their complete hair loss. They attack with wide, flailing swings or by grappling and biting their target

Biters come in four various "archetypes":

1.The first and weakest archetype are Biters with grey skin; they are the slowest, least aggressive, and deal the least damage. Most are missing one arm, preventing them from grabbing their target. They also wear little clothing, the male variants in racing shirts and matching shorts and shoes, the other outfit still applies the shorts and shoes, but a different shirt that is short-sleeved and a sling that wraps around their torso diagonally with a small container attached, females wear sleeveless shirts and shorts with slippers, others wear crop tops and skirts whilst bare foot, and the final outfit is a bra and sweatpants. These Biters slowly become more and more uncommon as the player levels up their survivor level, eventually no longer spawning. 2.The second archetype retains their skin color and are a bit faster with the ability to move quickly as they reel back their arms to punch their targets as well as being able to grab their prey. They have a chance to be a Toxic Biter when spawned. Toxic Biters cause a small amount of poison damage to their target with each attack, but they can still be killed with Toxic-modified weapons. Getting too close will cause harm to enemies, making Takedowns and Drop Attacks risky as the player is harmed during these attacks. Toxic Biters are easily spotted due to emitting green gas and the toxin turning Biters with white skin yellow and Biters with black skin will be shinier. Second archetype Biters wear the same outfits as the first. 3.Third archetype Biters are tougher and deal more damage. They will also sometimes spawn as an "Elemental" Biter, occasionally carrying melee weapons as well. Burning Biters will always spawn as the third archetype. They are distinguished by the different clothes they wear; males are jacketed and with them unzipped and exposing their shirts underneath with jeans, the second outfit consists of a long-sleeve polo with jeans and the bottoms rolled up to half the length of their shins, the final is a tuxedo outfit. The two outfits for the females consist of pants and shoes with varying shirts, one a long-sleeved shirt and the other a buttoned up trench coat. 4.The fourth and final archetype are male Biters wearing industrial uniforms made entirely out of rubber, a flannel with overalls, or a set of military armor, these Biters are very burley and much stronger. They often carry melee weapons and can also spawn "Elemental", females can be fourth archetype, but their outfits are the same as the third archetype females, making them indistinguishable between the two often resulting in an unexpectedly tough Biter. All outfits vary in color

Gas Tank:Gas Tanks were initially part of a special cleanup unit that was sent into the city of Harran or stationed in Villedor as part of the military/GRE forces there. They were subsequently infected by The Harran Virus, or Tachytransmissive Harran Virus (THV). These former unit members now lurch among the very same infected that they were tasked with neutralizing or removing.

Gas Tanks are essentially besuited Biters, entrapped within a durable hazmat outfit. Their most signature feature is the bright red oxygen tank strapped to their back. A direct impact to this tank, whether with melee or a ranged attack, will set it to detonate in a few seconds. The Gas Tank will explode loudly and violently, seriously damaging anything within a small radius and typically attracting Virals to its location.

Their suits prevent them from latching onto the player to bite them (only in Dying Light 1), but also makes them fireproof and significantly more durable than typical zombies. They are also resistant to dismemberment and decapitation, and much more difficult to knock down through melee strikes. However in Dying Light 2, their visor is shattered, and they will bite the player if given the chance.

Two variants exist, with the most common being the yellow-suited ones that appear all over the Slums and Old Town, as well as all over Villedor. The white-suited ones in Harran appear very infrequently, and tend to drop medicinal-related supplies such as alcohol or gauze. The third variant, found only in Villedor, is an infected GRE member who wears a Hazmat Suit, usually found around GRE quarantines.

Viral:Virals are humans that have only very recently succumbed to the infection. However, they are still physically alive as they are seen speaking multiple times. As a result, their bodies still retain the physical strength needed for them to possess a high level of fitness and agility. They run far faster than any other Infected, except for the Volatile and Night Walker. They can also jump and climb over obstacles and buildings, allowing them to chase after the player even when he's in a spot where most normal infected can't reach.

Unlike the slower, lumbering types of infected (that all virals will eventually reach as their bodies degrade), Virals do not bite, nor could they "lunge" at a player and trap them into a QTE; instead, they use their hands to viciously claw and punch their victims.

Virals possess advanced mental faculties when compared to their Biter counterparts. They often dodge attacks and hang back from the player charging in and backing off

Volatile:The Volatile is an infected that only emerges at night.[2] Volatiles are powerful and highly durable, and the player's best options when confronted by one or more of these monsters is to run to the nearest Safe Zone, ideally before being detected. Volatiles are capable of taking several hits from high powered weapons and can quickly cause significant amounts of damage

Volatiles are broad-shouldered and slightly taller than the average Biter. Other physical markers include full-bodied nudity, exposed bone and muscle and a mandible jaw that it uses against non-infected humans. They can audibly be identified by their heavy breathing and loud screeches. Volatiles are extremely fast, and can navigate through the dark at high speeds, matching the agility of the player perfectly, scaling obstacles and buildings in the same manner.[3] They have a special pounce attack that is very unlikely for low-level players to escape from. However, after "First Assignment", you will get a UV flashlight which can be equipped and used when a volatile pounces, pushing them back and giving you enough time to escape. Players at higher levels with the appropriate skill can shake their attacks off relatively easily, but a low level player will need an incredibly powerful weapon in order to have any chance of survival. In the event that a Volatile can see a player but not reach them, they will use a powerful rapid spit attack similar to those employed by Toads. They often do this while the player is climbing to knock them off a ledge and deal high damage

Bolter: is an uncommon infected that is noted for being the only infected that doesn't attack the player character, but rather flees when the player is near it. It is also noted for having green lumps covering its body that glow. Along with the Volatiles, it is one of the few infected that only appears at night. Its actions imply that Bolters may have some ability to manipulate other infected, as when alerted or killed, nearby Volatiles are sent into a chase.

Bomber: This particular type of infected is noted for its exposed organs and its shambling jog. Its behavior is not unlike common infected, like Biters, but one major difference between it and them is that the bomber picks up speed and begins to convulse[1] whenever non-infected humans are within proximity.

Whether this infected type manages to get close enough to the player character or is shot from a distance, the result always ends with the infected type's body exploding, blinding the player character with his coagulated blood.

The bomber not only explodes when in the vicinity of another player but also will explode if the player is within its view but cannot reach him, this explosion calls in Virals who are quite capable of climbing up to attack you generally in groups of 3—4 showing that the bomber has another role as well as a siren calling in dangerous zombies.

Goon:A physically large and strong infected that towers at roughly 8 feet tall, goons carry a heavy rebar (typically a section of concrete with rebar acting as a handle) which it uses to smash into the ground and swing at the player.. It can also use its left arm to bat the survivors away, which works as a secondary attack. Goons are much stronger than regular infected, but are very slow-moving and entirely unable to climb objects and buildings.

The goon's rebar swing is slow with an equally low reload rate, giving the player time to either attack or retreat between swings. Like the demolisher, its attacks damage other infected and can be used to the player's advantage. However, it should be remembered that every strike that the player lands on the goon makes it more aggressive and attack more quickly.

Demolisher: The Demolisher is the largest infected type encountered by the player. Its strengths lies in its ability to break down walls and lift and toss vehicles across far distances.[1] When a Demolisher spots the player, it will charge them. However, the Demolisher is quite slow and can be easily avoided prior to its charge.[1]

Physically, the Demolisher is much larger and stronger than other infected types. Its attacks have longer windup compared to its smaller kind, making for an easier time dodging and even creates opportunity for one to lure the Demolisher's attacks to disperse nearby Biter groups.[1] Also, if a group of infected are chasing the player, with little timing and positioning one can lure them into the Demolisher's car toss attack as the player dodges it
