Iris [DECAYING WINTER]

Humanity has mastered interstellar travel. Old Earth, or just “Earth” as we know it in real life, was destroyed by pollution and wars. Every single form of life on Old Earth was destroyed.

A “New Earth” was artificially built on top of the Old Earth. It can support twice the capacity of the Old Earth.

System-227 (doesn’t have an official name) is a star system, akin to the Solar system. The star of this system is 227. Among this system is a planet by the name of “Eden”. The full name of the planet consists of the name of the planet alongside the name of the star it orbits - Eden-227 (Iris inhabits this place).

Eden was colonized by humanity for the purpose of intergalactic travel, because it was the perfect midpoint between New Earth and other colonized sectors of the galaxy. However, a civilization was formed there. Eden’s civilization existed for a long time, and there are whole generations of people who were born and lived their whole life on Eden.

Eden’s star is small and doesn't emit enough heat to warm the planets. In order to make the system habitable, Neo-Thermal Generators were built on all of the system’s planets to keep them warm. An event known only as The Collapse refers to the breakdown of those generators on Eden, which plunged the planet into an eternal winter. The Collapse was likely intentional sabotage, involving at least 1 Agent.

Eden operated as a single “country” that spanned the entire planet, rather than split into multiple countries, like Earth. Eden has no official language, and the denizens have no official naming. Eden has currency - “Odens” and “Bonds”, which are not recognized anywhere else.

The Agency is a militaristic pseudo-government organization based on New Earth. They would take control of New Earth should governments there fail. Meanwhile, they try to take control over other planets and establish order there - one of those planets being Eden-227.

The Agents that you play as in Decaying Winter belong to this organization, and are part of the fourth wave of Agents.

While they have their own technology, they sometimes rely on the imports of other organizations, most notably UMG, for their equipment. All Agents are equipped with AGENT Watches.

They have sent a total of 4 (5?) waves of Agents to Eden.

Neo-Thermal Generators were built all over planets that don’t receive enough heat from their stars to be habitable. They run on thermo fuel and warm up the planets to temperatures that can sustain life.

In Eden’s case, Neo-Thermal generators prevented the Storm from occurring. However, an event known as The Collapse refers to the breakdown of those generators on Eden, which ended up causing an eternal winter and caused the civilization on the planet to collapse. The Agency evacuated all civilians from the planet, however, some stayed, and many others came, to pillage and scavenge what was left of the civilization.

Factions within Eden-227 after the collaspe:

Reikgon A mystical being, suggested to be supernatural, Reikgon creates “Shadows” to do their bidding. “Shadows'' are abominations with a live human host underneath them. They are hostile to everyone, and their goal is to ensure the demise of everyone and everything.

Sin A cult formed around Reikgon. Consisting of people worshiping them, and people who’ve been brainwashed; they are dangerous individuals. They have a presence everywhere, including New Earth and Eden.

They somehow have a connection to Reikgon. Whether this cult was created by Reikgon is unknown.

Scavengers Simple criminals and thieves that either have lived on Eden, or arrived there for the purpose of hiding or stealing.

While scavengers differ in groups, the first and the largest group of scavengers is led by Yosef.

Raiders An organized group of specialized professionals, such as ex-police, firefighters, military on Eden. They organize raids for equipment, food, and others.

There are mainly 2 groups of Raiders. A portion of the Raiders split off from the main group, now led by Aila, also known as “Sledge Queen”. While they are separate and their goals differ, they still remain in neutrally-friendly relations with each other.

Lumi's current faction has no currently known information, including her intentions on why shes evil as she is within Eden-227, it is known that Lumi is evil and intends to try(?) to take over Eden-227 possibly.

Iris needs to get into one of the many laboratories that reside within Eden, one of them inhabited by sin cult members. She thought she had no way in until manipulating an agent to do the hard work for her. After attempting to betray them and noticing that they survived she's a bit taken aback. Soon she reveals that the snowmen enemies are her experiments. Also vaguely mentioning lumi.

Iris:"Hello, Agent. I'm Iris, a scientist from the agency." Iris:"I have to admit, it's strange meeting you here on Eden." Iris:"No one in their right mind would want to come, let alone, stay here willingly." Iris:"I know you have a lot to deal with right now, but could you help me out?" Iris:"I am on a mission to gather some intel from one of our labs here on Eden." Iris:"I tried getting in with my keycard, but the area has been on lockdown for some time." Iris:"This broken teleporter to my left was my backup in case something like this happened." Iris:"I had the parts to fix it, but they were recently stolen by some low-life scavs." Iris:"If you happen to come across any of the parts in your journey, please do bring them back." Iris:"I'll be sure to make it worth your while if you find them." Iris:"Perfect, you got them all." Iris:"Now, it just needs to be repaired." Iris:"The parts themselves should fit together like puzzle pieces." Iris:"But you will need some scrap to finish up a few things" Iris:"I estimate you'll need 150 scrap to finish the repairs." Iris:"No rush or anything, but time is burning away." Iris:"Lastly, we just need the power source." Iris:"A special fusion battery, extremely special technology." Iris:"It's fine, there's a tracker on it. I know where it is." Iris:"It's near the mountains." Iris:"Could you retrieve it when you get a chance?" Iris:"Just be careful, it's fairly heavy.."

Where she betrays the agent and turns off the teleporter without them knowing: Iris:"Agent, we have a problem, the teleporter is malfunctioning." Iris:"Nothing I do is causing the teleporter to respond." Iris:"You're on your own in there. I'm sorry, Agent." Iris:"Good luck."

After agent survives: Iris:"You- You escaped? I- I knew you would!" Iris:"I'm seeing more of these snow enemies on my screen." Iris:"Seems they are covering the surface now." Iris:"Stay alert, and thanks again for your help, Agent."

When she cuts the act of being an agency scientist: Iris:"I'll admit, I didn't expect you to make it this far." Iris:"Guess these experiments weren't strong enough." Iris:"The mind control has proven to be quite effective." Iris:"Let's put your endurance to a true test, shall we?" Iris:"These experiments of ours, aren't they amazing?" Iris:"The mind control has proven to be quite effective." Iris:"To think I was going to fail my task." Iris:"Trapped outside the lab with no way in.." Iris:"Who knew all I needed to do was trick some poor, stranded Agent." Iris:"Yes, the teleporter wasn't broken when you were in that lab." Iris:"I couldn't have any loose ends, you see?" Iris:"But somehow, you managed to escape." Iris:"You've proven yourself remarkable, Agent." Iris:"All we've done and you're still standing." Iris:"I'm impressed, you're more resilient than you look." Iris:"Your refusal to give up is exceptional." Iris:"You're hopelessly outnumbered, yet you continue." Iris:"It really is a shame we're on opposing sides." Iris:"Interesting." Iris:"Even though after all those experiments we've sent your way, you still stand strong." Iris:"You truly are something, Agent." Iris:"Don't get your hopes up though, you've attracted some attention." Iris:"She wants to see your capabilities personally." Iris:"Stay frosty, Agent."
