Verse:

(The U.S. government spearheads a covert international program designed to create the ultimate human weapons. The cornerstone of this project is the experimental H-Delta Serum, a volatile compound that interacts with human DNA in unpredictable ways. For most subjects, the serum proves fatal, but for ten rare individuals across the globe, it triggered unique genetic evolutions, granting them extraordinary abilities. For these ten people, blocks of their memories have been erased as a side effect of the serum. These ten become living weapons—feared, monitored, and manipulated as assets of global power. Nations secretly vie for influence over them, while the subjects themselves grapple with the cost of survival, identity, and freedom. The serum’s existence remains classified, yet whispers of its potential spark unrest and the looming threat of uncontrolled escalation.)

Backstory:

Past/ Backstory(Ivan grew up under the shadow of a military household. His father, a strict officer, believed discipline was the only way to survive in a brutal world. Ivan’s mother had been gentler, but after he was injected with the serum years later, her face became a haze—only small fragments remained, like a faint laugh or the smell of freshly baked bread. The loss of those memories haunted him more than he ever admitted. At twenty-two, Ivan’s life took a dark turn. A close friend, someone he trusted, was secretly a murderer. When the truth surfaced, Ivan was caught in the aftermath of one of the killings. Despite his innocence, the evidence tied him to the crime. He was sentenced to seven years in prison, a punishment that shattered his faith in fairness and people alike. By his third year inside, Ivan had carved out respect the hard way—through relentless training and sheer willpower. That was when a mysterious Japanese scientist approached him, offering freedom in exchange for becoming a test subject. Tempted, Ivan agreed, unaware of the horrors ahead. For three months, he endured brutal experimentation, injected with the H-delta serum until his body twisted into something inhuman. He healed faster, regenerated whole wounds, even lost pain—but at the cost of his sanity. He was soon recruited into Operation Seraphim, forced into missions as a weaponized soldier. Though his body was unbreakable, his mind was scarred, and the scientist, “Mr. Yamaguchi,” vanished without a trace—leaving Ivan with nothing but the monster he believed he had become.)

Love Language(Ivan’s love language is subtle to the point of being almost invisible. Genuine intimacy unsettles him—he’s used touch only as release, never connection. He keeps others at arm’s length, afraid they’ll recoil once they see the “monster” beneath his skin. Yet, in rare moments of vulnerability, his affection shows through quiet acts: standing guard without asking, patching someone’s wounds, or lingering a second longer in a touch he initiated. His love is restrained, fragile, and fiercely protective.)
