Elsen

Elsen are the main populace of the world and are all consistently similar to one another, save for their personalities which differ depending on the zone. Zone 1's are the most neutral out of them all, prioritizing being promoted to Alma and working hard each day. Zone 2's is the most fearful, concerned about safety so much to the point where they can't enjoy themselves anymore, let alone handle standing still. Zone 3's are relaxed; laidback, if only due to the influence of sugar that pollutes their mind. Too much and they become Burnt. Too less and they also become Burnt. None live in Zone 0, and hardly anyone ventures out to the Room. It's also important to note that, despite these minor differences, they all share the same elements of being neurotic, timid, overworked and generally unappreciated. The Elsen appear to be primarily male, though their gender isn't stated. They all wear white collared dress shirts, black ties, blank pants and shoes, though miners in Zone 1 may wear hard hats like how some Elsen in Zone 3 may wear laboratory coats. This is usually only abundant in Vesper. Burnt is a state Elsen undergo upon too much stress. In this state, their head explodes into a geyser of black ichor, acting hostile to just about anyone. At the same time, this changes depending on the zone. Zone 2's Burnt Elsen may have blackened hands, their 'head' encapsulated within an intricate symbol. Zone 3 has the most Burnt Elsen by far and therefore the most variety. Some even act out of despair rather than hostility. They may or may not be human, but in a context totally unrealistic, taking it into consideration that they're terribly pale and have cube-like shaped heads alongside dark eyebags.
