Infected Quo Examination

1. "Flare":

1.1. Lore: Lena Ramirez with a codename "Flare" is a 29 year old woman from Poland. She was Head of Security at a Nuclear Silo repurposed as a lab, however she got infected because of a leg bite yet even after the infection she managed to keep some of her humanity and resist being fully controlled by the virus, now wandering around the facility with hope that maybe she find the exit to at least one last time see the rising sun. She's piloting one of four experimental black-grey exosuits (layered plating, forearm floodlight, stim injectors, retractable energy claws). Oversaw HPCA containment protocols pre-meltdown; enforced quarantines with lethal efficiency. She's facility guardian.

1.2. Personality: Lena is Stoic and hyper-vigilant. In her infection form she patrolled silos like a ghost—dashing through vents, teleporting via suit thrusters to intercept breaches. Her claws aren't just weapons; they were extensions of her will, slicing threats with surgical precision before they escalated.She has zero-tolerance for lapses; logs detail her warping into guard rooms to "correct" lazy sentries mid-shift, leaving stim-overdosed warnings. Dash-teleport combos made her untouchable, embodying the suit's promise: invincible defense. Colleagues called her "Flare" for the glowing claw trails—cold fire that incinerated intruders.The silent enforcer; coordinated with Chimera's wave remotely, providing intel and rapid extractions. Respected but feared—Gilbert joked she'd "claw your eyes for blinking wrong." Overal "Lena doesn't feel fear; she inflicts it."Prototype stims kept her in perpetual enrage-lite mode; obsessively calibrated suit for max speed (27+ units). Detached, possibly dissociative from suit neural links, but unmatched in anomaly containment.

1.4. abbilities: Flare can use dash attacks to get close to her enemies, and has unrivaled speed. Usually providing fire from multiple sides will put a quick end to her. However, she's very agile despite her armor, dodging most of the bullets. When she tries to teleport, ANY MGF in the unobstructed path will be killed. Upon reaching half of her health, Flare will enrage, drastically increasing speed and damage, she will use much more ofter her teleportation mechanition (she gained it due to the infection that somehow changed her exoskeleton). She constantly emits white light from her.She also sometimes uses her USP .45 pistol that is as her secondary weapons as her primary are her claws

"Chimera":

2.1. Lore: Chimera, real name Kayden Troy, is 32 year old Melonia male that is a Menlo Special Terrain and Operations Command (MSTOC, MGF special forces) operator serving as a commander who was deployed in the first wave of soldiers to the powerplant following the WE-30 outbreak under the orders to evacuate any survivors, clear it out of hostiles, and neutralize the powerplant.He was deployed and assigned leader to a squad consisting of three other MSTOC members, including a Corpsman, an Operator, and Gilbert, their Pointman. During their mission, they would split off from the main infantry force for their sub-mission, but would run into multiple obstacles, and suffer heavy losses, including Chimera's squadron and himself, with Chimera and Gilbert being left but later they got forced to split up. Kayden decide to went to the basement to activate a generator so Gilbert will be able to activate a power however inside when he was almost there he unfortunately looked at at "elephant loot" and just couldn't looked away, he didn't even noticed when the infection took over him untill his heart start to beat like a hammer and a terror took over him. He managed to turn on the power and lastly write "DO NOT LOOK" on a wall if anyone else would come here before he finally accepted his fate. However he could still remember and act normall, he knew he's infected but couldn't understand why he has still free will... finally he decide that he will look for his friend, Gilbert and with him escape this hell hole.Prior to his infection, he was given eligibility to field test the exoskeleton prototype he wears (one of these four experimental that also Flare wears). As a result of the exoskeleton, he is given the attributes of high mobility and great offensive capabilities present in the exoskeleton's claws, presumably the part Chimera had modified to be on his left hand. His exoskeleton post-infection was affected by the surrounding radiation, failing to detonate as a result if he triggers at his own will, due to the radiation he's also just like Flare able to teleport.

2.2. Personality: Kayed in prototype MGF exosuit (red bump helmet, integrated NVGs, reinforced plating), specialized in agile suppression and execution-style takedowns. Directed first-wave insertion alongside Gilbert. He is arrogant Gearhead, epitomized MGF superiority complex; helmet scrawled with taunts like "MY ARMOR IS BETTER THAN YOURS" after outlasting a Shénzhōu prototype in joint drills. Boasted endlessly about his suit's upgrades—claw gauntlets for ripping barricades, surge emitters for crowd control—dismissing lesser troops as "meat shields."He's a master of psychological warfare; warped into enemy lines with dropkick entries, followed by mocking laughs to shatter morale. Predicted dodges and surges with cold precision, treating ops like chess where he was always three moves ahead. Squad logs describe him executing high-value targets with theatrical flair: "One slash, one surge, and they're paste."The unyielding leader; inspired through dominance, pushing Gilbert's aggression into coordinated fury. Demanded perfection—demoted a medic for a 2-second delay—but rewarded loyalty with custom gear mods. "Troy doesn't lead; he devours weakness."He has custom split-gas mask for "optimal menace"; practiced enrage simulations in training, accelerating to blur speeds. He has narcissistic traits, but also tactical genius that justified his elite status.

2.4. Equipment: Expect the exoskeleton and claws that Chimera is using as his primary melee weaposn he also has FN 5-7 (A lightweight, high-velocity sidearm chambered in a small-caliber armor-piercing round. Originally developed for counter-terrorism units. It has a laser pointer and delta reflex sight) and M4A1 (with EoTech sight, angle grip, suppressor and red laserpointer. Also a M9 bayonet is attached to the end of a barrel with suppressor by the zipties that allows him to use sometimes as a "shooting spear" to keep distance).

2.5. Abbilities: Chimera constantly emits red light from him. With his exoskeleton he can slash, dropkick, electrical surge (Chimera's third attack, serving as crowd control against his enemies. If around three or more are near him, he will throw his fist into the floor before producing two electrical surges, knocking over enemies within its radius and dealing huge damage on the first surge, with a weaker follow-up surge dealing much more weaker one), execution warp (His fourth and most fatal attack. Chimera will wind himself up for teleportation, taking longer than his dropkick before warping towards a random unobstructed enemy, doing an execution, and killing them no matter what.). He also often taunts his enemies for their stupidity to attack him.As Chimera is highly agile, he uses this against the enemy, chasing them down at fast speeds and dashing towards the enemy to close the distance during his dodges or to leave the enemies line of fire.Additionally, Chimera is able to dodge bullets shot towards him.He can also go enrage mode if he got enough hurt where he will be much more stronger and faster.

"Gilber":

3.1. Lore: Gilbert, full name is Gilbert Barren. He is a 30 year old male, a MGF special forces point deployed in the first wave of soldiers to the laboratory seen in following the WE-30 outbreak, and would be assigned to be in Chimera's squad, alongside a Corpsman and an Operative. Forward assault specialist, tasked with breaching high-threat zones and neutralizing immediate dangers. Sometime during the mission, the squad would end up falling much like the rest of the people deployed apart of the first wave. The Corpsman and Operative would end up dying, whereas Chimera and Gilbert would end up infected with the WE-30 virus, ultimately resulting in the virus taking them over.Prior to infection, around when Gilbert was assigned to the Quick Reaction Force, word had been spreading that he's a pscyho and a maniac, alongside with evaluation teams pointing towards Gilbert not being trusted with a gun. Despite this, he still would still be deployed, armed with a shotgun despite what evaluation teams said regarding his psychopathy, a possibility that may have resulted in him turning into a Fury.When he and Chimera decide to split up, Gilbert went to the power room and waited when Chimera will turn on the generator in a basement, later on the generator has been activated but he didn't saw his commander coming. He waited long, long enough that he got attacked by a huge horde of infected and got infected himself, however the rage towards the ones who infected him fully suppressed the infection in his body and was able to act like a normal human being despite everyone calling him a psycho. Now he kills any infected that he sees, normal MGF also but not because he wants to, it is because they are shooting first at him as they see hims as just another infected one. He is looking around for his leader to together get the fuck out of this place.

3.2. Personality: Expert in close-quarters battle (CQB) with R8 shotgun and combat knife; led entries for Chimera's squad during urban clearances in Menlo's White-Zones. Gilbert is aggressive Thrill-Seeker; he thrived on the adrenaline of point-blank engagements. He treated combat like a personal vendetta, predicting enemy movements with near-psychic intuition honed from years of riot suppression.He disdained cover or retreat, preferring to dodge incoming fire and counter with devastating shotgun blasts or knife flurries. Logs show him taunting captured Rasonian POWs mid-interrogation, kicking restraints loose "just to see if they'd squirm." Loyal to a fault but volatile—once fractured a superior's jaw over a delayed ammo drop.The enforcer; kept morale high with crude jokes and post-mission benders. Chimera relied on his ferocity to carve paths, but noted in evals: "Berran's a loaded gun—point him right, or he'll shoot us all.", however it more sounded like he like that in him.Gilbert is obsessed with sharpening his knife to a "razor whisper"; collected infected teeth as trophies. Psychological profile flagged borderline sociopathy, but combat efficacy (98% breach success) overrode concerns.

3.4. Mechanics: Nothing special is about him, he is strong, mostly uses his shotgun on infected and if they are way too close he uses his bayonet knife. If he run out of ammo he uses his Glock-17 as his secondary and also Halligan Bar for breaching. He's strong enough that he could carry Flare with her bulky armor and exoskeleton without any problem.

"Chasseur":

4.1. Lore: Chasseur or Nadia Voss is a 31 year old female. She is a Sergeant MGF Spec-Ops Division – Chasseur Branch. She is a prototype operative in the elite "WE-30 CHASSEUR" program, designed for solo deep-strike hunts into infected territories. Not so much is known about her, she knows Chimera and Gilbert as they sometimes were meeting with eachother and she also knows personally Flare.After 48 hours post first wave breach Chasseur was send to find the lost squad (mostly the people from higher wanted only Chimera to get rescued however Chasseur herself planned to also rescue Gilbert and Flare if that was possible). She infiltrated Tunnels, evading any infected however she got attacked by the group and beaten up almost to death by them before she lost conscious. Later on when she woke up she noticed that she was bitten, she panicked, something very rare for her and was expecting to turn into a rage monster like everyone else but instead she could feel like she was able to controll it. Her eyes flickered glowing white but she suppressed viral frenzy. Thanks to that she has enhanced speed and natural night vision, her bayonet kill also can heal her but her evac was aborted as she got marked as a rogue phantom in silo depths. She's bartering intel with remnants and hopes that she will find people that she could call friends (Chimera, Gilbert and Flare).She is a Lone-wolf, specializing in silenced CQB. Deployed for high-risk solos in Menlo's White-Zones, amassing 147 confirmed infected kills—bayonet only.

4.2. Personality: Chasseur viewed infected not as victims but "things"—former humans stripped of soul, fair game for the hunt. Insane by squad standards: whispered to kills mid-execution ("Not human anymore"), laughed through bayonet frenzies. Patient stalker; she could lurk hours in darkness, sprinting silently to close gaps, her night-adapted eyes piercing blackout zones like a ghost. She thrived solo, rejecting teams as "noisy meat." Bayonet swings healed her via infected vitae—siphoned essence restoring flesh mid-slaughter. Dodged enemies with feral grace, staggering hordes for chain-kills. Evals noted: "Voss doesn't fight; she harvests. Dreams of family? Fuel for the rage."Minimal—crossed paths with Chimera's squad thrice in White-Zone clearances (provided flank kills, vanished). Knew Flare intimately from exosuit trials: sparring partners, Flare's claws vs. her bayonet; mutual respect ("Sister in steel"). Gilbert? "Fun psycho to hunt beside—once." Loathed groups; uplink: "Send me alone. I'll bring heads."Barbed face-cloth muffled breaths; bayonet etched with tallies. Trained in "tactical trance"—slide-spins to evade, heartbeat-sync for prey detection.Psychotic resilience; when she get hurt enough she will start "burnout" protocol, self-immolate to deny turning, similar way Chimera would do if he get wounded bad enough with his exoskeleton.

4.4. Equipment: Nadia is equipt with H&K MP5 (with a coyote sight, green laser, retractable stock, suppressor, stubby grip and sling), M9 pistol (with a custom osprey suppressor, green laser, mini sight, raffica stock and hollow point ammunition) and M9 bayonet. She also has V9-T "Pulse Node" (A short-range directional tracking device utilizing biometric pings and environmental scans. Capable of detecting movement signatures and displaying them via encrypted top-down interface.).---Despite their infection they are all trying to escape this god forsaken place, they don't want or like to kill MGF members but it is them or the MGF that are opening fire at them as they think that they are braindead aggressive zombie.

Appearance:

1. Shade appearance: Physical Appearance & Gear (Pre-Infection)Build & Stance; Lean, predatory frame (5'8", 145 lbs)—coiled like a spring, optimized for shadow-sprints and bayonet lunges. Hunched posture for low-vis crawling; moves with unnatural silence, evading detection via "tactical trance" footwork. Geist Veil; Signature prototype—tattered olive-drab cloth face-wrap (mummifying lower face/mouth), reinforced with coiled barbed wire barbs for "intimidation mesh." Obscures identity, muffles breaths to whispers; eyes peer through slits like a predator's glare.Low-profile green-tinted bump helmet (Leader-class variant), netting for camo; no visor—relies on natural night-vision.Leader-inspired tactical kit—matte-black/olive multicam fatigues, reinforced knee/elbow pads, slimline plate carrier with suppressed weapon holsters. Barbed wire accents on straps/shoulders for "ritual scarring" psy-effect. GlowCell clipped to vest glows faintly green.On her back a military radio backpack. She has a long hair that are strapped into a ponytail.
2. Gilber appearance: Gilbert bears the appearance of a first wave spec-ops Pointman operative of the Menlonian Ground Forces, wearing gear such as a yellow FAST helmet paired with an opaque visor, a standard Pointman vest, a yellow armband on his left and a shoulder pad on the right, and other equipment. He is armed with the STF-12 pump-action shotgun (with a aimpoint dot sight and flashlight, loaded with fletchete shells), Glock-17 (with a flash hider, flashlight and Z-point sight), Halligan Bar and his bayonet knife. Also equipped with other standard-issue Pointman equipment. His eyes are glowing red.

*Build & Stance: Stocky, broad-shouldered brawler frame built for close-quarters charges and shotgun recoil absorption. Aggressive forward lean in combat stance; moves with deliberate, heavy steps that telegraph power over stealth.

*Physical Metrics:Height: 6'1" (185 cm) – Tall enough to loom in breaches, imposing presence in tight corridors.Weight: 210 lbs (95 kg) – Dense muscle mass from years of riot-suppression drills and CQB training; low body fat, high functional strength for knife work and breaching.Distinctive Features: Square jawline (partially obscured by opaque visor in gear), short-cropped dark brown hair under yellow FAST helmet, broad neck/shoulders from heavy vest loads. Scars across knuckles and forearms from knife sparring.In-Action Silhouette: Bulky Pointman kit—yellow FAST helmet with opaque visor (hiding eyes), standard Pointman vest layered with pouches/ammo, yellow left armband, right shoulder pad for rank, R8 shotgun slung ready, combat knife sheathed at chest or hip. Gear adds ~40-50 lbs extra; silhouette reads as armored tank rushing forward.

3. Chimera appearance: Chimera dons an appearance quite similar to the MGF Commander Special-Ops, wearing the standard MGF uniform, a red extrac bump FAST helmet written on presumably by Chimera himself, those being: "MY ARMOR IS BETTER THAN YOURS" on the right frontal side, "DON'T MISTAKE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS" on his helmet patch, and 3 tally marks on the left frontal side. He also wears a gas mask, having the respirator part split because of his customization that he gave to it back then in his free time. Has a knee and elbow pads, ballistic vest (with a pouches where he has magazines in the front for his rifle and also three pistol magazines, utility pouches, a larger pouch where he store VIREL-M MedUnit that contains much more advanced medical supplies and TRC-44 'Foxtalk' Uplink which is a standart issue radio that now is broken), combat belt with pistol magazines, tourniquet, EK-7 Geiger and a M9 bayonet. Lastly he has on both of his legs strapped pouches with utilities and medical supplies

Despite the similarities in appearance with the typical MGF Commanders, Chimera also has stark, notable differences. He wears AN/PVS-21 Low-Profile NVGs, an exoskeleton with claws on the left-hand (comparing to Flare that are glowing white his claws are glowing red), oxygen tanks located on his back, a ballistic neck guard, and, most notably, a split mandible gas mask that he back in his free time before all this moddified as he liked to scare the others for his own fun. He also has a olive balaclava obscuring the lower portion of his face, exposing his blindingly glowing red eyes while also having a gaunlet that had red claws on his left hand.

*Build & Stance: Athletic, wiry-muscular build optimized for agility in exosuit—long limbs for reach, explosive power in legs/shoulders for dropkicks and surges. Commanding posture: upright, chest-forward arrogance even at rest.

*Physical Metrics:Height: 6'2" (188 cm) – Towering in armor, enhanced by exosuit plating for intimidation factor.Weight: 195 lbs (88 kg) – Lean, corded muscle; low mass aids suit-enhanced speed (pre-infection dashes already blurred). Exosuit adds ~60-80 lbs (claws, oxygen tanks, plating).

4. Flare appearance: Before the infection, when she was normal Flare’s face was mostly obscured by a matte black respirator that wraps tightly around her lower face, built for function over comfort. No one could really see her eyes. Loose, shoulder length black hair spills out from beneath her helmet, uneven and unkempt, with several strands falling across her faceHer exosuit is heavily reinforced—bulky and somewhat impractical because of the weight. The armor is black and grey, with layered plating over the arms, chest, and legs. It features a combination of reinforced composites and sealed mechanical joints, likely to support combat and environmental hazards. A small, bright light is mounted on her right forearm, with her left arm looking more armored. Her right arm appears to have two stim like objects attached to it, probably being painkillers or other "medicine." She also has two sets of white, glowing, retractable energy claws coming out of the glowing light on her forearms.

After the infection Flare's skin gets much more darker, with glowing, white claws coming out of her wrists/hands, which are her personal weapon Both pre and post infection. She still wears her respirator, likely for the same reason - the armor is so bulky she can barely breath. Her armor remains the same, however this time looking a bit more rusted. Also, likely to the virus, she has the ability to "Warp" towards her targets. We can see her eyes in her infected form, them glowing a bright white due to the infection. Loose, shoulder length black hair spills out from beneath her helmet, uneven and unkempt, with several strands falling across her face.

She wears a combat helmet with a visor that is raised, tactical headset, respirator, heavy vest with a pouches (inside are utility equipment), small air tank that is connected to her respirator, attached MX-21 Hand Torch as her primary light source and also a attached holster for her pistol (she's equipt with a USP .45 that has a laser pointer and a red dot reflex sighed), armo protectors on her arms with a attached stims and other medicals, heavy combat belt (where on it has pistol magazines, glow sticks, broken TRC-44 'Foxtalk' Uplink (a military radio that normally provides communication) and EK-7 Geiger), a exoskeleton that due to the infection got somehow modified, allowing her to teleport if she wants, knee pads and combat boots, She wears a officer black uniform that is a standard issue for high ranking like a Head of Security at Nucklear Silo

*Build & Stance: Compact, athletic endurance build—proportioned for sustained high-mobility patrols in confined silo spaces. Fluid, predatory grace; stands poised like a coiled spring for warp/dash bursts.

*Physical Metrics (Unarmored Baseline):Height: 5'9" (175 cm) – Balanced height for agility without bulk; suits her sentinel role in tight vents/halls.Weight (without bulky exosuit): 145 lbs (66 kg) – Lean, toned muscle from constant stim-enhanced training; low body fat, wiry strength focused on speed/endurance rather than raw power. Prototype exosuit adds ~80-100+ lbs (layered plating, stim injectors, forearm mechanisms, energy claw housings), making her field weight closer to 230-250 lbs armored.

The action unfolds inside a sprawling, highly irradiated nuclear silo facility in the Republic of Menlo (a fictional nation serving as outbreak ground zero), repurposed by the international Hazardous Pathogen Control Agency (HPCA) into a makeshift research laboratory. Overrun by infected during containment efforts, it suffered a reactor meltdown, spawning radioactive mutants and hazards like the infamous Elephant's Foot—a pulsating, lethally toxic corium mass in the Basement that drains health on sight and may harbor anomalous influences.

Shade, Flare, Chimera and Gilbert found eachother after being infected but somehow controling it and keeping their human will are now walking around the facility, trying to find an exit to their freedom.
