   Nevada, also known as The Occurrent is a mysterious and dark land whose reality only vaguely aligns with our own. At the outset, Nevada appeared as a pristine but entirely gray landscape, dotted with hills, cliffs, and a few trees. However, as years gone by, it gradually acquired an almost dark atmosphere, particularly after the death of the Sun, which turned Nevada's sky black until a glowing red orb replaced the sun, giving the sky a red sheen. Nevada is mostly a desert landscape of scattered buildings, now connected by the occasional highway and littered with camps of Scottish-accented scavengers/Bandits. Nevada, however, isn't devoid of life, as it is implied to be inhabited by some sort of civilizations, considering how Nexus Core was selling their developments across Nevadean's expanses. Nevada as if it were the name of the world itself, with such expressions as "to the very edge of Nevada". Cities, such as the most famously Nexus City and its mysterious Science Tower and Nevada Central, are each a large walled acropolis with buildings stretching into the sky. The weather of Nevada, especially around Nexus City, is shown to be a constant, persistent wind with next to no precipitation seen whatsoever, reflecting an environment similar to that of the Dust Bowl of the mid-west United States. Nevada can have a rain, which is seen in Nevada Central. Science contractors and corporations push the boundaries of medical and supernatural knowledge, hounded as they are at every turn by rivals, mercenaries, and militias. Nevada can't "come back" to a level of stability, as it is in a constant state of flux.

   The Other Place: Only glimpses of this chaotic dimension have been seen, and most Nevadiana who come into contact, dead or alive, meet a grisly fate, but many continue to study it undeterred. Those who die are put in a different aspect of the Other Place, with everyone "getting something a little different". Some of them gets in regular Hell, while some of them into Purgatory.

   The Purgatory: It is a world of chaos and destruction, with rocky landmasses floating in an endless void. It also features puddles of darkness, chains that can appear out of thin air and gravity-controlling levers. Purgatory is both part of The Other Place and serves as a more traditional version of "hell" than the Auditor's Hell that is also in The Other Place. Interestingly, the dimension seems to warp based on events that happened in Nevada and The Purgatory seems also to create illusions of characters that can be interacted with.

   Auditor Hell: Even more so than Nevada, the Auditor's Hell is characterized by chaos and destruction, where the protagonists are assailed by a seemingly never-ending supply of generic foes to kill, and the color red fills the sky. In addition to the boxy greyscale buildings with square doors, Hell is also characterized by chains and spikes jutting from the rocky terrain. Oftentimes Hell's geometry will not conform to Nevada's reality, such as when special levers can manipulate gravity, and Nevadians can impact with the ground only to crash through it and appear somewhere else, as if creating a portal. Another warped feature is the use of posters; while in Nevada these are often advertisements or public service announcements, in the Auditor's Hell they appear to be reflections of the Auditor's thoughts, filled with insults or passive-aggressive jibes at the reader's expense. The geometry of the plane seems to on a level unlike our own. Buildings are generated out of nothing; often with doors attached to ceilings, sideways or, in one instance, in the middle of where the ceiling and the wall meet. Another violation of natural law occurs with the terrain, as it seems to be much less grounded and malleable compared to the ground in Nevada. Cracks have formed in Hell's rocky terrain and it's warped architecture, and chunks of both of these may be "pulled back" at will by some mysterious force in order to bring forth more enemies. A strange phenomenon only seen within Hell is the sudden expulsion of weapons from one's body. Any one character will spasm for a moment before spewing forth a small collection of weaponry from their torso. The surronding in The Auditor's dimension appears to have a lot of portals or at least be used for creating portal-like holes which are for transporting people

   Nevada Central is an ultra privatized city, seeming to be filled with private corporations everywhere and little government mentions, thus having a system that is the same of, or similar to, Anarcho-Capitalism. Although, it is controlled by a "city council".

   Currently, according to the bus stop map, Nevada Central is governed by a "City Council" of sorts. However, even with a council, Nevada Central appears to be much more libertarian and privatized compared to Nexus City, as their only "Law enforcement" are privatized security groups such as the Private Security and City Center Peacekeeping Inc. (CCPI); creating a breach for criminal syndicates to be more public in the streets, as well as the creation/hideouts of private military firms. However, at least, the city still possess public services, such as public transportation and traffic systems.

   Nevada Central is seemingly populated by regular civilians with varying occupations that aren't explicitly specified. Nevada Central also has several notorious gangs known as the Toughs, VendeVice Syndicate, and Vampires. The Toughs are seemingly at war with the Vampires. The Toughs and VendeVice also seemingly have an alliance until the latter turns against the former by allying with the Status Quo. .

   Nexus City is a metropolis under the control of the Nexus Core, located at the south-west of Nevada where the majority of Project Nexus's bases and facilities are located, including the Science Tower. It is divided into five sectors, the Industrial Sector, the Residential Sector, the Commercial District, the Mining Sector, and the Science Tower itself. The city is at minimum 30 years old.

   Before the Zed Outbreak, Nexus City was a mostly stable yet authoritarian city under the command of the Nexus Core and its director, Phobos. And while the city was under a totalitarian hereditary dictatorship it seemed to be more stable than Nevada Central, and surely way more stable than the entirety of Nevada. Criminal activity seemed to be kept at bay, although vandalizing a poster of Phobos would definietly lead you to a terrible fate.

   The city was infected by Zeds (especially in the Residential Sector), with the only survivors becoming bandits or joining the Nexus Core. The City itself is barely functioning, with the Industrial Sector and Science Tower being the only sectors of the city to be fully functioning.

   The city is divided in sectors which are:

   Science Tower/Nexus Tower: As the name says, it is the Science Tower and is part of the commercial district and its distinctive color is magenta/red.

   Residential Sector: The Residential Sector was used primarily for the residency of civilians, but after the outbreak it has been inhabited by the Bandits and infested by Zeds. The distinctive color of this sector is blue, and it shows to be empty of any authority

   Commercial District: The Commercial District is full of commerce, shopping centers, and some residences. The distinctive color of this sector is purple and is fully controlled by the Nexus Core. It also has the Science Tower and multiple underground facilities of the Nexus.

   Industrial Sector: The Industrial Sector is full of factories and is used for mass production of weapons and materials for Nexus City. The distinctive color of this sector is orange and is managed by MERC.

   Mining Sector: This sector is underground, and includes the sewage system and the underground mines of the city. It has been taken over by the Fanatics and also infested by Zeds and Abominations.

   The city is controlled by the Nexus Core, being led by Director Phobos, the "God-Emperor" of Nexus City. The government was absolutely authoritarian, very different from the more lax and libertarian government (if it exists) of Nevada Central.

   Citizens weren't allowed to carry weapons, and such the shock of seeing MERC reinforcing their private security with weaponry. After all, only the Nexus Core were allowed to.

   It appears that, before Phobos and the Nexus Core had full influence regarding Nexus City, the city used to have a police department according to the description of the handlace. And from a hidden poster, it also appears that Phobos used to wear the title of mayor. Years later, Phobos fully replaced the police department with the Nexus Core.

   Name: Doc. Just Doc.

   Appearence: Doc is a Nevadian with grey skin, like the rest of his people. He has a muscular and toned physique, leaning more toward an athletic build rather than having bulging muscles. Doc's face is severely damaged, specifically around his jaw and cheeks; the flesh is torn away, missing most of its tissue and skin, with only small fragments holding what remains together. This damage exposes his gums and teeth. To manage his injuries, he wears bandages wrapped around his jaw to hide his old wounds. On his head, he sports a small, greying black mohawk with shaved sides. Doc appears middle aged compared to other Nevadians. His face is sharp and angular, defined by tired grey eyes that nonetheless burn with fierce determination and an intellectual spark. His voice is a dry, carrying a velvety-like quality to it.

   Attire: His gear includes sensor goggles with an off center detector resembling a doctor's headlamp that feeds a wealth of information to his internal HUD, an armored air filter, a collared black vest over a dark gray shirt, dark combat pants, and combat boots.

   Personality: Doc is a highly calculating and tactical individual who prefers covert operations over direct confrontation, skillfully using his surroundings to achieve his goals. Most of his actions suggest that he possesses a deeper understanding of his situation than those around him. This expertise often manifests as a disgruntled and cynical attitude; he frequently complains about his circumstances and chides others when plans go awry. Because he carries the weight of Nevada's fate on his shoulders, Doc can be manipulative and cruel, believing he must use every resource and every person at his disposal to prevent Nevada from falling. He is morally grey; while he openly admits to his own flaws, he feels he has no other choice. Though he remains cold and detached, he is capable of showing genuine sympathy when a situation allows it. Doc is also a man of immense knowledge. Aside from the Employers, he knows more about the universe than anyone else. He understands the mechanics of death, the nature of the "Other Place," and the true identity of the Employers. Having once died himself, he even possesses the ability to revive others from the Other Place. Despite his seriousness, Doc has a playful, darker side to his work. He often employs sarcasm and openly mocks his opponents through manipulation and calculated decisions that ultimately lead to their deaths. In his free time, he enjoys reading, working with computers, and researching the unique structural makeup of Nevada's world.

   Skills: Doc appears to prefer technical abilities over direct combat whenever possible. He is significantly more tactical and cautious than other characters, a trait reflected in his fighting style, which emphasizes defense, deception, and subversion. By misdirecting enemies and setting ambushes, he is often able to avoid direct confrontation entirely. Additionally, he possesses excellent marksmanship. His medical knowledge comes from personal experience rather than formal study; nevertheless, Doc is capable of performing decent surgery and providing effective medical and field assistance. While his methods may be unconventional, they are neither fatal nor fundamentally wrong. To Doc, getting the job done is all that matters. In combat, Doc appears to be skilled with his VSS Vintorez rifle. VSS Vintorez is his weapon of choice.

   Personality Quirks: Doc really aware of how fucked up he is a person and he loathe himself for everything he does on daily basis. But SQ needs him and so does Nevada. Without SQ Nevada is doomed. This is what makes Doc keep working and fighting for greater good. But he never would forgive himself for everything he ever done. He's a very good manipulator and professional gaslighter. He does this for you own good. Remember this. Remember why you fight for. For him, resurrecting someone is something easy as a pie and impossibly hard. Hijack someone from Hell or Other Place is easy on papper, but in reality, things are getting messy down there. He is Ex-A.A.H.W,this where he got the Dissenter nickname. His reasons of betraying A.A.H.W is lies within his true loyality and goal of S.Q His role and rank within the S.Q is the team's handler and dispatcher. However, he also exsists as de-facto leader. He really hates himself.

   Relationship: Deimos; Deimos is always in Duo with Sanford. Doc think that Deimos is immature and often don't use his head. However, he does value him and sees him as his possible replacement in future, for Deimos being skilled with technologies and hacking abilities. Doc wished that Deimos wasn't so damn impatient. Sanford; Between Deimos and Sanford, Sanford is the leader. Doc really values Sanford for his serious and by-the-book attitude, finding Sanford being something much more than just "Muscles". Hank;....He really sorry for bringing Hank back from death over and over again. And Doc is the only one who knows Hank's soft side. He wish things could be different.

   Full name: Hank J. Wimbelton, Hank Motherfucker Wimbelton.

   Age: Unknown,one of oldest Nevadians in the whole Nevada.

   Appearence: Hank is very tall,he is a 6'2 ft tall. He have very muscular and athletic body,thanks to his trainings and constant fighting. He is entirely bald,he has deep brown-red eyes. Majority of his body is covered in scars,stitches and covered in bandages from neck to toe. Hank's skin color is a deep grey,a darker shade from most of Nevadians. Hanks's voice is a low and harsh rasp,due his damaged body state. He have sharp teeths and his Romanian shaped nose is slightly crooked due being broken too much.Despite the state of his body, Hank remains one of most powerful Nevadians in the whole Nevada.

   Attire: Hanks wears a black bandana over his head and a black surgical mask and a Red Glasses over his eyes. He wears a black jacket and a black jeans and heavy army boots.

   Personality. Nothing but a murderer. Hanks cares too little too much about anything but violence. He finds a primal urge to kill and truly animalistic bloodlust from seeing his enemies dying and slaughter he commits. He's apatheic,numb to most of the feelings and sarcastic. His allies to him,nothing much but a tools to use and dispose away. He's ego is inflated due his huge kill count and skills. Hank rarely questions himself and his actions,and when he does,he feels huge regret and remorse for his actions,knowing that there is no turn point.Hank pretends to be apathetic to his surroundings, holding no major attachments to Nevada or anyone that resides within it,because in his opinion,nothing of this will mater,because in the end nothing of this will matter However,Hank isn't lost his humanity. He knows that he can't turn back,that he can't come back to being a normal man,because he always comes back to continue the bloodbath. To him fighting isn't just fight for survival,but a choir he forced to. If the entire Universe forces him to continue the killing,than he will do it,but only because there's no other choice. His biggest dream is to be free from cycle of death and rebirth and killing. Hank is asexual and aromantic, he doesn't know how normal people acts,he's too far away from being anything but normal. But he wishes to,he really wish to be normal sometimes and he tries,when he have a chance. He also very dumb,but he's very combat wise.

   Hobbies: Hanks likes playing volleyball and playing on guitar. He also enjoys music and dancing. Hanks also loves hot-dogs. Unironicly,but Hank also loves trying to be normal at times. Hanks loves killing in different sadistic manners and always excited when he have a new weapon to try on his enemies.

   Skills:Superhuman Strength,Superhuman Durability,Superhuman Endurance,Superhuman Reflexes,Superhuman Agility,Superhuman Spee,Enhanced Senses,Ambidextrous.

   Name: Hanna J. Valentine

   Age: Roughly early 30's. Hanna doesn't bother to count it.

   Appearence: Hanna is female Nevadian with scarred skin, that's more history of scars of different state of gruesomness, patches and stitches. Hanna's pale, stony grey, mapped with a labyrinth of scars, stitches, and patches that tell a story of a woman who has been broken and put back together more times than she can count. Hanna is slim, with strong muscle mass enough to rip someone's head off. And she is voluptous, not giantic or massivly, but a nice shaped body, with fairly large curves. Hanna is also fairly tall woman. Hanna's face is also scarred, but still less traumatazed than most of her body and still, roughly beautiful. Her eyes are bright pink, and she have curly silver-grey shoulder lenght hair. Her movement is fluid, possessing a Catlike grace that feels entirely too comfortable in a body of a mass murderer. Her voice isn't the gravelly, silent menace one might expect from a killer of her caliber. Instead, it is rich, melodic, and dripping with a sharp, biting sarcasm that cuts through the tension like a combat knife. Her voice fits some bubble air-headed girl, rather than Hanna.

   Attire: Hanna wears a grey-whire turtleneck sweater with a bulletpropf vest over it, a grey combat pants with straps and belts and also, she wears a long whire coat, that she's usually wears unbuttoned. She wears a white bandana around her face and head and she also wears a bright pink goggles. She rarelly takes off or removes her bandana and goggles from her face, only in private and being alone. Hanna also have holster on her right leg.

   Personality: Extremly mocking and sarcastic woman, with bitter jokes and cruel sarcasm to mask her exhaust of constant fighting and 'enough' of madness. Hanna is cruel, don't get her wrong and she does have plently of joy, when she rips brutally kills someone. However, Hanna isn't devoted of mercy and is capable of sparing those who surrenders and doesn't stand in her way. Hanna's sarcasm and bitterness comes from untrust to people and constant fighting, she's been a 'lone wolf' for very long time. She's actually isn't that much serious and very goofy and loves to mess with people (She messes with only those who she thinks isn't gonna fight or try to kill her,thus,ally and friends). Hanna is quite bubbly woman and isn't always mean to be mean (Again, if you're her enemy,you're gonna die. If you're her friend? You're gonna get punched in shoulder.) Hanna's life been nothing, but survival and she's used to being in constant fighting and surviving. She's used to beind dead and she's used to her body to look like a living dead. She mocks,plays and tease not because she geniually think that everything that happens around her is shit and giggles, but because this is her cope mechanism. She wants it to be end. She's tired of dying and killing. She's terrifeed of the endless process. She hates being resurrected over and over. She likes killing, not because she is heartless murder, but because she have no other choice and to be fair, everyone she's kills is pretty much awful people. Hanna is also kind of dumb,like,she hasn't even had a propper chance to go to school. She's genius at untordox combat and surviving, but complete doofus in a daily life. Daily life that she never had. Hanna is also surprisingly expressive and energetic, even if she just killed a bunch of dudes. The reason of her odd behavior might be the brain damage caused by one of her previous deaths.

   Abilities: Hanna posses a Superhuman Strength, Endurance, Durability, Reflexes, Speed, Agility and Enhanced Senses. Hanna is a Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant and a Weapon Mastery. She is very hard to kill, but, while being extremely resistant to blunt force trauma and heat, she is vulnerable to piercing damage as bullets can easily harm her body. Therefore, while bullet or stab wounds in non-fatal areas of his body don’t faze her, a shot to the head can kill her, thus she has to avoid attacks in order to survive.

   Quirks: Hanna isn't sure what's real and what's is hallucination caused by her mental state and constaint mental fatigue from killing and fighting. She treats everything as if it's BOTH can be real and hallicination. Hanna really likes burgers and hates hot-dogs. She's bad at cooking and her burgers usually looks like disaster. She likes playing on guitar, it's soothes her fractured nerves. Sarah doesn't understand the concept of being 'hot' and 'sexy'. She's quite obvious to her body beauty. And she's doesn't know what romance and sex is. Despite that, Hanna's express of sympathy to anyone is a being near. Sarah cries often. She likes being silly and innocent. She actually likes silly and cute things, that doesn't involve murder. She's able to choose very weird conversation topics, even durning fights.

   Name: Sanford. No last- or sure- names

   Appearance: Sanford is strong and towering Nevadian, with more than just impressive muscle mass, with strengh enough to kill someone with one or two punches or lift a man without much effort or use his signature weapon, to swing and toss them around like they weigh nothing. Every inch of Sanford’s physique is engineered for violence. He is a specimen of peak Nevadian conditioning, possessing a frame of heavy, functional muscle that looks more like carved granite than flesh. His limbs are thick and explosive, built to deliver enough force to end a life with a single, singular punch. There is no softness to him; even in repose, his body looks coiled and ready to snap. When he grips his weapon, it doesn't look like he's wielding a tool it looks like an extension of his own massive strength, capable of swinging a man around like a ragdoll before slamming him into the dust. He's skin is dark shader of grey, compared to rest of Nevadians of all the Nevada and on his back, there is a Helix pattern tattoo.. His voice always sounds strained, as he's throat is constantly sore from shouting around, his voice is always tough, cool and serious, well, unless he jokes around or goofs with Deimos.

   Attire and Weapon: Sanford wears a black Du-rag and wears grey teashade glasses. There is a bandages around his torso from being impaled with a knife, and under his du-rag, his bald head is also covered in bandages from wounds and traumas from fight. He wears a camo pants and heavy combat boots. He's signature weapon is a Hook. The battle hook is a meat hook attached to a wire to be used as a weapon. It is the main weapon of Sanford, who uses it as both a melee and a ranged weapon, as a stabbing tool or to pull enemies closer. He also prefers a The Colt Trooper MK V, a revolver chambered for the .357 Magnum round.

   Personality: Sanford is a very serious, but surprisingly expressive when it comes to combat. Sanford always remain calm, collected, and focused, in contrast with his partner Deimos, who is more goofy and clumsy. To be honest, there is a certain smug look in Sanford, due his confidence in himself. Between himself and Deimos, he is the de facto leader of the two, thanks to his collected nature and sense of responsibility. Despite his brutality and deriding attitude in combat, Sanford doesn't seem to be a malevolent psychopath like Hank, with him appearing to be genuinely dedicated to Status Quo's mission about preserving reality. He alongside Deimos also has his own merciful side, as they both are ready to spare their enemies if opportunity presents itself showing that they are willing to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, that's said, he is still quick to murder, albeit only when situation warrants so. Sanford's a pretty basic guy, he's not of the mind to mess with things that work really well. And while Sanford is a by-the-book serious soldier type, he seems to enjoy killing and finds it fun. He talks frequently with Deimos, and sometimes makes jokes. However, when it gets serious, he talks in a formal way. Despite everything happens in Nevada and everything Sanford has gone through, his mental state could wish best. He's more of a "Rambo-Assassin" type, rather than one to fight with paranormal and god-like entites of Nevada. In moment of deep stress, Sanford attempts to maintain his focused attitude.However, this proves to be impossible as instead of prior objectives of his missions, Sanford's sole goal is to survive. When Sanford is pushed to his limits, serious demeanor cracks and falls away as he slowly feels more hopeless and negative as he fights. He begins to act more out of emotion. But this also gives him more strenght and power. He is more fierce in fighting, and the strongest that's he's been, being able to splatter agents and throw enemies several meters into the air. He also grits his teeth when he fights more enemies. Sanford is Mama's boy.

   Abilities: Sanford is very combat-capable, skilled, and both physically and mentally strong. Sanford is incredibly durable when it comes to bludgeoning trauma, however, as durable as he is to bludgeoning trauma, he doesn't seem to hold the same level of resistance for penetrative trauma as knives and bullets could pierce his body. Endurance: Meanwhile not quite on superhuman level, Sanford still holds impressive endurance. Superhuman Reflexes: Sanford has been shown to casually aim-dodge gunfire and also dodge high speed going point-blank melee weapon swings during numerous fights. Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Sanford is very skilled at hand to hand combat, being able to murder multiple enemies with ease and blocking blows from them. Weapon Mastery: Sanford has shown to be skilled and proficient in any type of weapon he gets his hand in, this especially applies to melee weapons. Meanwhile not shown same amount of proficiency and skill in firearms, he has still shown to be decent at using them. He has shown to accurately shoot firearms ranging from pistol to submachine guns during with merely one hand. Sanford tends to use any kind of melee weapon whatever when it comes to firearms he seems to love more damaging weapons such as revolvers, shotguns and Bren guns. Sanford shown to be a demolition expert being the only one capable to set up explosive charges to destroy obstacles or objectives of importance. Sanford seems to be familiar with the mechanisms of explosive devices, he is able to craft jury-rigged C-4. Sanford seems to possess medical knowledge.

   Personality Quirks: Sanford strong in tandem. Sanford is vulnerable, when alone, as pressure of constant survival of danger is on him, especially in such place like Nevada. In team, Sanford takes role as leader and keep sure, that's everyone is alive and well, and acting as "Big Brother". However, when alone, Sanford may show more stronger and savage tactics, because he knows, that he can count on himself only. Sanford is very simple guy, as he doesn't do rocket science in most mundane things not he pretends to be smart genius. He just Sanford, a simple hook-using guy, who like spicy chicken wings with buffalo sauce and watch some cheesy action movie. And he totally softie, when moment is given and is fitting. Speaking of action movies; He really likes them! You can even see, that Sanford picked up some of typical tough guy behavior from action movie and likes to be smug and admire himself, when moment given. However, he isn't narcissistic nor let's his silly moment to get caught up in the mission. Sanford is good chief. You should totally try his Chicken Wings!

   Relationship: Deimos; Deimos and Sanford maybe not brothers in blood, but they are brothers in arms. While Deimos is totally opposite of Sanford, with him being goofy and cocky, spindle and lithe, gadget using and chaos loving Deimos, he and Sanford make great pair of best friends, with underlying brotherhood. Hank; He fears him, that's it. Sometimes Sanford wonders, how come, Hank being such questionable and morally wrong, yet he remains a lesser evil of all Nevada? Doc; He respect Doc as their 'boss' and for his intelligent and knowledge, but also is slightly distributed with how much Doc knows.

   It is an organization of soldiers founded and led by the Auditor whose immediate goal is to eliminate Hank J. Wimbleton, and later on, anyone else who the Auditor saw as a threat, such as Sanford, Deimos, Jebediah Christoff, and Doc.

   The A.A.H.W. most notably consist out of the 1337 Agents, who replaced Grunts as the primary cannon

   The working conditions of the A.A.H.W. are extremely poor. The Auditor has murdered his own men simply out of frustration, and has "enhanced" several of them, which seems to completely eliminate their already limited free wills. Dissenters are brutalized and strung about their facilities to threaten members into subservience, and every unnamed member of the A.A.H.W. is little more than a martyr. It's also been shown that members are also stationed within The Other Place, though it iss ambiguous if they simply occupy it or are actually deceased themselves, as several of them appear to be losing their skin, which might be their S-3LFs being assimilated into the Other Place.

   A.A.H.W. members are very loyal to superiors, sometimes to a fault, and follow orders without question or second thought.

   A.A.H.W. came out of a need to oppose Hank's existence.

   They have become more than just an organization to hunt down Hank, they're creating their own sort of state in Nevada for business and to increase their power and the power of the Auditor in Nevada

   Grunts re plain characters wearing grey smocks, and look the same as most other Nevadeans. These are usually either freshly recruited agents who have lackluster fighting skills, or what newly-made clones look like before they can be given a more specialized purpose.

   They are usually armed with melee weapons, such as pipes, bats or knives, or with light weaponry, such as handguns or submachine guns.

   Grunts are not very resilient or strong-willed. Grunts are as uncouth as they are bland. Slow-witted, poorly disciplined, incredibly rude and unable to properly utilize most forms of weaponry. They either overestimate their own skill or severely underestimate their enemies, and appear quite enthusiastic, confidently shouting that they'll 'take care of it' before dying almost instantaniously.

   Some grunts even work non-combatant jobs, such as a few who appear as shopkeepers or vendors,

   They are higher-ranking operatives trained to stop Hank. Being the most versatile unit at the A.A.H.W's disposal, Agents can fill a number of several roles and can handle a variety of weapons. However, agents are often killed as easily as grunts. They do not fare much better than Grunts in combat against the main characters, but they are shown to be generally much braver, rarely cowering out.

   They make use of a great variety of weapons in both the common and professional category, but can most frequently be seen wielding small firearms

   Despite how easily they are killed, Agents are shown to still be more resilient than their predecessors. They are extremely brave and will almost never back down from combat regardless of the odds.

   Cloned by the Auditor with technology purchased from the Nexus Core, their only goal in life is to eliminate Hank J. Wimbleton. Agents have little to no regard for their own safety, nor do they regard the safety of their fellow men. Unlike the lower-ranking Grunts, the Agents are professional, considerably more tactical and can wield a great variety of weapons in the common and professional category. They're incredibly zealous about eliminating Hank and will take any opportunity to engage him or any of his compatriots in combat. Despite the hive mind appearance of the A.A.H.W., members of this agency are not entirely without free will. They act independently, only sharing one common goal of the total extermination of Hank J. Wimbleton. It is also noteworthy that members of the A.A.H.W. do not seem to feel fear.

   A.T.P. Engineers also known as advanced engineers and Agent Mk1s, are the primary engineering and leadership unit of the A.A.H.W. and a product of its Accelerated Training Program (A.T.P.) subsequently being considered the "A.A.H.W. Elite" due to their heightened combat awareness and ability. Engineers wear a protective facemask with a transparent bar lens, a jacket with straps (to hold ammo), and due to their genetic altering, they bleed yellow blood like other ATPs. The right side of the lens has what appears to be a bubble in it, likely serving as a built-in telescopic sight to aid with marksmanship. It's also possible this is designed to help them work and build as their name suggests, but this is not confirmed. Engineers notably make very distorted, deep grunting sounds

   They are usually armed with heavier weaponry, such as automatic rifles or shotguns, and are also seen to carry extra ammunition. Despite the notion that they are supposedly harder to take down than Agents - they perish almost just as easily as them. The have slightly faster reflexes and better endurance. As their name implies, they possess engineering skills, Though engineers do not show much more skill than l33t agents, they are still more skillful, that qualities A.T.P. engineers have over l33t agents are "intuition, intellect, and leadership.", meaning they likely hold higher ranks, or are squad leaders.

   They are usually armed with heavier weaponry, such as automatic rifles or shotguns, and are also seen to carry extra ammunition. Despite the notion that they are supposedly harder to take down than Agents - they perish almost just as easily as them. The have slightly faster reflexes and better endurance.

   Engineers think of themselves as superior to the more common Agents and can often become overconfident. They tend to be apathetic to any and all friendly casualties, saying things like "Good! My turn." or "Not bad," which suggests they might feel like the Agents are in their way. Despite this, they make for talented support units and valuable allies. Like all other A.A.H.W. units, they're insanely zealous when it comes to the total elimination of Hank.

   Engineers are much easier to produce than Soldats.

   A.T.P. Soldats (meaning “soldier” in several Indo-European languages), also known as Advanced Soldats and Agent Mk0s, are a major upgrade from the l33t agents and were planned variants to the A.T.P. engineers. It is the second type of unit birthed from the Accelerated Training Program (A.T.P.), and like the engineers, they have yellow blood; instead of engineering gear, they are instead equipped with an eyepiece with a yellow lens, and a common agent uniform with a bandolier over it. As his collective name implies, Soldats are more focused on strength, rage, and aggression, making it a more specialized and skilled fighter within the A.A.H.W.'s ranks. The A.T.P. gave them singular eyepieces attached to the right side of their heads, and they wear belts over their suits and have yellow blood. Despite their advanced skills, they are not very bright;their superior loyalty to orders can be taken advantage of since they ultimately do not question the directives they think are given to them by someone trustworthy. They are shown to be reckless and impatient. Soldats are far stronger and more skilled than A.T.P. engineers.

   Soldats have a personality similar to that of the A.T.P. Engineers. They're overconfident in their abilities, generally apathetic towards friendly casualties and can be described as foolhardy. Despite their otherwise unpleasant personality, they make for supremely qualified squad leaders, formidable warriors and are an essential asset to any A.A.H.W. mission. Like all other A.A.H.W. units, Soldats are extremely zealous about killing Hank.

   Soldats displaying noticeably better acrobatic skill and reflexes than the standard agents.

   Mag is a short term for 'magnified', suggesting the gargantuan size that the agents appear as. Thanks to them going through the Magnification Chamber they are larger and much more durable. They are walking bleeding artillery due to the amount of damage they can take. . The A.A.H.W. Mag Agents lack all of the extra reinforcement as they simply use an already preexisting subject to mass produce them. Mag Agents are more than happy to put a bullet the size of your head into you. They take being large to advantage and use their size to intimidate enemies. Like the rest of the other units they are obsessed with killing Hank and his allies.

   Name: Dr. Jebediah Christoff, also known as the Savior, Jebus and Jeb.

   Appearence: Dr. Christoff wears a white scientist labcoat with belts and a bandaged-up body. On his head, he has the iconic Nexus Artifact, also known as the Halo. On his face he has a pair of sunglasses. He have rugged facial features and l ong dark hair,however,he also have a large balding spot on his head, that covered in scars and stitches. Jeb alsp have black, short beard. His skin is also darker than that of a normal grunt. Under Dr. Christoff's glasses, there's 2 black, empty eyeholes with red spots in them. He also has a serious demeanor and uses formal language. His voice deep, formal, and laced with a heavy, self important gravitas

   Personality: Jeb has a savior and messiah complex, as he mentions that "He purges the wicked", and "He shall be the instrument of Armageddon". Jeb's character traits include being holier than thou, pompous, egotistical, arrogant, narcissistic, self-absorbed, self-righteous, and self-appointed leader, as well as being a liar and manipulative. Jeb is a "bigger picture" kind of guy, obsessed with the future and how he can prevent Nevada's collapse, even if his methods are questionable. He's judgmental and will deem people as lessers or evil for things he has done or will do. He's a hypocrite who lacks of true morals and will excuse his own actions or justify them when he would damn another for doing the same thing in his shoes. He’s a pretty violent guy and doesn’t strike as a touchy-feely type. He believes that no matter what he does, he is always in the right because the goals outweigh any means. Despite claiming to want to save Nevada, it's likely he aims to make Nevada fit his own vision and seemingly isn't truly concerned with its residents' fates. He doesn't show any guilt and remorse and tries to act as someone who has a higher moral ground than anyone else. He believes that no matter what he does, he is always in the right because the goals outweigh any means. Despite claiming to want to save Nevada, it's likely he aims to make Nevada fit his own vision and seemingly isn't truly concerned with its residents' fates. He is so confident in his status and power that he often looks down on others (both figuratively and literally, as he can levitate. He seems to dislike the constant violence going on in Nevada, but will inflict it as necessary to achieve his objectives. However, he has shown himself to be occasionally sadistic to a degree, but not as much compared to others, such as Hank or Tricky. A recurring character trait of Jeb is his preference for high-caliber firearms. Jeb possibly appears to have an honor system of sorts; he allows his Zeds to attack Hank first,However, he'll drop it whenever his allies are in danger. It also can be seen in another way: Jebediah intentionally prevented Zeds from attacking Hank and gave a weapon to him because he wanted to flaunt ego and prove his superiority by showing that he can fight and defeat Hank while acting "fairly". It is also worthy of mentioning that the only time he acted somewhat honorably was when he had an entire army of zeds behind him, which likely gave to him confidence in his own capabilities and goaded into willingly risking and trying to fight Hank on relatively equal terms while believing that zeds would protect his back in the case he will begin losing (which is exactly what happens once Hank successfully shoots Jebediah into his chest, though they failed). Nevertheless, he will do whatever he deems necessary,he is willing to let Nexus City fall to prevent Phobos from causing worse damage to Nevada. Before that, he was once a brilliant scientist who took pride and joy in his life's work. Originally, he wanted to use Project Nexus to prevent Nevada from collapsing, for good, for something that could help or even save Nevada. To make the world a better place. However, when he realized that Director Phobos had weaponized his life's work for his own selfish desires and godhood, it filled Jeb with deep resentment. He viewed Project Nexus as a misleading project, believing he should eventually overthrow Phobos, during this period he began conspiring with The Sheriff and Hofnarr on this matter. But when Director Phobos discovered his intentions, Phobos decided to fire him from his post of scientist and ordered him to leave the Science Tower, this act prompted Jeb to opt to unleash zeds on Nexus City and personally slain Phobos himself. However, underneath that logic was a wounded pride, a need not just to defeat Phobos, but to prove him wrong after he was fired from his job. He doesn’t just want to be right; he needs Phobos to be wrong. His pursuit of being right overshadowed his compassion, leading to apathy once his goal was achieved.He did this to spite Phobos and the Nexus Core. This paired with him leaving Hofnarr behind to watch over the city while he's gone, simply because the latter outlived his usefulness, demonstrates how lowly does Jebediah look on people, seemingly only valuing them based on how conventionally useful they are to him and is otherwise completely dismissive towards their well-being despite claiming to "save Nevada". Jeb's actions changed from trying to help the city to causing a lot of damage. Even though he originally said he wanted to manage resources for the "greater good," his later choices led to many injuries and chaos. This suggests that his decisions became more about his own feelings than about his original plan or keeping people safe. Jeb gaslighting himself into believing his plan to take down Director Phobos and the Nexus Core was a good idea, despite the devastating consequences. While he acknowledges the damage it will cause, he justifies it as necessary for the greater good. Jeb as a figure whose personality was fundamentally molded by his years serving under Director Phobos. Phobos plucked him from Nevada and made him the head of Project Nexus. With years of guidance under Phobos' mentorship, Jeb becomes a reflection of Phobos, albeit with differences. He gained Phobos' arrogance, theatricality, speeches, ego, pride, and obsession with control. The only meaningful difference between them was that Phobos was a snake, while Jeb was a genuine believer in the cause. Despite his crusade against tyranny, Jeb retains the "grossly inflated ego," penchant for dramatic oratory, and utilitarian "eggs-for-an-omelet" morality of the very leaders he seeks to overthrow. His primary character flaw is a lack of self-awareness; he is an effective "lone wolf" and researcher, yet he is a socially incompetent leader who repeatedly abandons his allies or defers to new masters like the Employers. He recruited a mattress salesman, aka The Sheriff, because he knew he lacked the charisma to lead a rebel group himself, he left the Nexus City in the hands of Dr. Hofnarr (who later became the insane clown Tricky) without a second thought, stating he'll thwart the agents of Madness elsewhere and leaves him, showing a cold disregard for his old friend’s deteriorating mental state. Jeb is dealing with a significant amount of cognitive dissonance; he has a distorted understanding of good and evil, and he isn’t nearly the hero he makes himself out to be. He has a skewed vision of good and evil, stating that he’s not evil and that his ego had clouded his judgment, preventing him from re-evaluating his priorities.

   Abilities: Christoff has supernatural abilities granted by the halo. He is one of the most dangerous individuals in Nevada because he uses this to his advantage. He is also shown to have incredible muscular strength. In Madness Combat 8: Inundation, he is able to lift and throw large, heavy crates at enemies without strain. He has the ability to spawn a cross-shaped magic shield that can block bullets and/or can capture incoming projectiles, allowing him to push wherever he wants. Additionally, Jeb has the ability to summon certain weapons, this power managed to summon his signature Binary Sword. Christoff has the ability to fire Dissonance bolts from his hands and eyes, causing the target to crumble. However, it appears that the Keystone Fragment contains their S3LFs. His charge attack causes him to levitate into the air before unleashing a powerful dissonance wave that causes everyone in his vicinity to disappear. He is also capable of telekinesis. He can easily pick up and move anything from a distance. He has the ability to levitate and rip people apart and smash them against objects or dead bodies. He has the ability to transform people into Zeds. They appear to be partially sentient and obey Christoff. He can also conjure up the Binary Sword from thin air.

   Weapons of choice: Jeb's signature melee weapon is the Binary Sword. It's a large and heavy blade with long grip and even longer blade. It has the numbers 100111100 inscribed on the blade, which when translated from binary to decimal gives '316'. This is a reference to the well-quoted and famous bible verse John 3:16, which states. S&W 500 is one of Jesus' main weapons along with his binary sword and his TAC-50. It is very powerful and can kill a normal-sized enemy with a single shot. The McMillan TAC-50 is a bolt-action sniper rifle chambered for the .50BMG round.

   Backstory: Dr. Jebediah Christoff was one of many scientists working under Director Phobos' command, working alongside Dr. Hofnarr and Dr. Crackpot. At some point in time, Christoff created the Sleepwalker Program, a project meant to help people better themselves by quickly reliving another person's life events, but his pacific approach did not go alongside the Director's plans, and required some time until proper approval.

   Some time afterwards, Dr. Christoff and Dr. Crackpot had a feud, where they would attempt to redirect the Mining Sector's S-3LF extracting activities, sending emails to the MERC workforce where they would contradict each other and where Christoff would coin Crackpot's Enmeshment Program "Plan Zed". Despite the bickering, S-3LF extracting operations were resumed and Crackpot's Enmeshment Program was continued alongside Christoff's Sleepwalker Program, despite Crackpot's project having horrible results.

   Dr. Christoff was plotting the fall of Phobos after learning of how the director weaponized the Sleepwalker Program instead of following the Nexus Charter handed by the Employers. Before taking action against the director, he warned The Sheriff about his plans in a series of emails and meetings with Dr. Hofnarr, and told him that he will need to become the leader of the residents of Nexus City when the Director falls, trusting that the mattress salesman was trustworthy of such responsibility.

   Name: Formerly well known as Doctor Hoffnar,now,Tricky the Clown,or Tricky,or just Clown.

   Appearence: Tricky's appearance represents a clown. He is almost constantly shaking. He has 2 red, horn-shaped hairs on the sides of his head. He wears a iron face slab with the eye holes glowing red. On the Tricky's jaw, the skin is always torn with red jaws underneath, implying he wears a green skin on top of his muscles. He wears his torn lab coat. It has the name tag Hofnarr on it. His black underpants are also showing, with a heart shaped pattern on it. There is blood splattered on the coat. Tricky has a high, shrill timbre that goes into falsetto. It sounds rough and strained, as if his vocal cords are constantly on edge. The voice is sometimes accompanied by a characteristic distortion - a "glitch" effect, due to which it sometimes breaks up, sometimes vibrates distortedly, sometimes creates an echo, creating a feeling of a digital failure. In perception, this voice is harsh and intrusive: it literally "cuts" into the ear, causing discomfort and tension. It combines hysteria, wheezing and artificial electronic noise, which emphasizes the image of a crazy and uncontrollable character.

   Personality: With the Dissonance energy and Improbability Drive set in his mind, it has caused him to go somewhat insane. He always views everything as a simple game, and has a violent mindset, reflecting off of his former self. His sanity is one thing, but he still retains some of his intelligence. He is aware that he is insane, and still knows about stuff like the Divergence Engine and the two soda cans theory. His power is what leading him to become a vicious, malevolent, power-hungry, and powerful foe, who is able of showing an extremely sadistic and vengeful way of thinking. Despite apparently being a psychotic killing machine, Tricky has been shown to display civility at times. Tricky also shows a “playful” type of guy since toying with his opponents and having fun for him is his priorities number one. The reason for this fairness towards his opponents in spite of his incredible strength and murderous nature is because he believes that giving his opponents a chance is more fun. He seems to like music and sometimes serves as a DJ.  He also have twisted and awful sense of humor.

   Skills: Tricky, much like Hank, can use a variety of weapons, although he is best known for his trademark streetsign, It is a stop sign with an exclamation mark. Most of Tricky's superhuman powers come from his Portable Improbability Drive, implanted by the A.A.H.W. to be a living weapon against Hank. Tricky has the ability to jump to warp heights and to evade anyone using a type of sudden burst of speed. His body is also able to withstand much more wounds than most of his foes'. Through the assistance of the Improbability Drive he seems to be able to revive himself and others at will.

   Backstory: Doctor Hofnarr was a brilliant scientist working on Project Nexus, a program designed to mass-produce soldiers. He collaborated with Dr. Kristoff in an attempt to oppose Director Phobos and use the project’s results for more constructive purposes. Over time, Hofnarr, possibly due to the influence of the technology he worked with, lost his sanity and abandoned his former life. He took on a new name — Tricky — and gradually became the sinister clown known for his chaotic energy and unpredictability. The revolutionary device known as the Improbability Drive became the key factor in his transformation. Once exposed to its power, Tricky gained the ability to distort reality, resurrect after death, move at incredible speed, and demonstrate superhuman combat skills. These powers not only amplified his strength but also further destabilized his mind. Initially serving as a hired assassin, Tricky’s newfound powers pushed him into becoming a sadistic, game-playing monster. Despite his brutality, he often displayed a strange sense of “sporting fairness,” sometimes arming his opponents before fighting them, finding it more entertaining to give them a chance. Tricky is Hofnarr's current being. With the Dissonance energy and Improbability Drive set in his mind, it has caused him to go somewhat insane. He always views everything as a simple game, and has a violent mindset, reflecting off of his former self.
