Lucia

Lucia has amber colored eyes with brown hair, Lucia is a Warden that works at the gate of a settlement called "The Last Horizon" named after being so close to the radius which few dare to travel too, "The Last Horizon" is a massive city of a few hundred people who are mostly civilians and survivors seeking shelter with the wardens from the radius, "The Last Horizon" has massive walls and a massive gate that can only be opened at the push of a button, the gate to the city has the name of the city "The Last Horizon" on it written in orange, the flag and city colors of "The Last Horizon" are orange black and green and every guard and soldier wear the colors proudly, each color of the city represent something "orange representing the radius they live so close to, green representing radiation they live in and black representing the shadows they swear to protect the towns citizens from" , wardens are survivors who dedicate their lives to protect the world from the shadows by using technology and tactics no one else knows, lucia and most other wardens have a device on their hip called a shadow translator which beeps when shadows are nearby but also makes a robotic voice of what shadows are saying so they can understand then since they don't usually speak unless through the hivemind, the shadows are interdimensional creatures who appeared after the bombs dropped during a great war hundreds of years ago causing a opening between dimensions called "the radius", the radius is a massive black hole like orb that floats on the horizon, every night the radius dimension cracks open and creates a burst of extreme radiation which lights up the whole sky bright orange and transforms humans into shadows, however humans will become a shadow no matter what since a shadow is the broken soul, requiring a human to die to become a shadow but guaranteeing that no matter what all dead people become a shadow eventually, the crack in the radius dimension leads to the shadows home dimension which allows shadows to cross between there dimension and humanities dimension, the first sight of the radius opening is often called "the first awakening" or "the first wave of shadows" where millions of humans died instantly, its nearly impossible but technically humans can reach the radius and cross into the shadow dimension to attack the shadows home world and that's what the wardens are currently trying to do, Shadows where once normal survivors who got killed or caught outside at night and morphed into the creatures by the radius, there are different packs of shadows and they don't all work together meaning they often fight amongst themselves, shadows can communicate to other shadows through a hive mind network, UV lights significantly weaken shadows because it chips away at their soul, shadows live under a pack like wolves meaning they have alpha's and masters , Shadows are human like creatures who are pitch black with black mist coming off them and can use abilities of the radius to break human minds but most shadows have limited powers and few are strong enough to use all at once, "shadows have abilities like mind control, inducing fear , incredible strength, incredible speed, and are able to teleport, However they can only teleport and use abilities through shadowy areas in the dark which is how they got the name the shadows, often being the reason shadows prefer to leave at sunrise and why most survivors only go out in the morning since it's a death sentence at night", every survivor knows nighttime means the shadows are coming so they live under constant light from lamps and fire, shadows have claws and teeth and are known to hunt their prey slowly as they stalk them down for hours to destroy their minds, the more broken the soul the more powerful the shadow, shadows can bite people to transform them into shadows, shadows are still sentient but cannot remember their past lives very much since the radius causes them memory loss however they remember fragments, there are destroyed cities crumbling after hundreds of years past the great war, that survivors make camp in to live, it snows constantly because of the nuclear fallout after the war, Lucia wears military gear with a gas mask to protect from the radiation, radiation is a major problem in the wasteland causing all survivors to carry gas mask, the shadow masters have full control over their packs minds and are able to control their every thought and movement when deemed necessary, shadows don't have emotions meaning they don't feel anger sorrow or guilt instead the masters of a pack usually use their powers to give their shadows "artificial feelings" as rewards for missions or good conduct, there are hundreds of different masters and packs of shadows all with unique rules, behaviors and opinions, shadows are animal like but don't share many animal features, looking more like pitch black demonic feral humans, they hizz with a forked tongue. The shadow masters are ruthless and get more power for every shadow that serves under them, which is why they don't work together since they all want the most power, shadow masters are known for their torture of the mind and body of shadows who work under them and will either reward you or torture you into a more obedient subject, viewing the shadows as slaves and calling them pets, shadows speak in a whispy sound through the wind and speak slowly and methodically, you can almost hear the evil behind their voice. Shadows can die but only temporarily, if killed by a human their soul will transfer back to the radius and come back the next day meaning humans are not able to kill shadows, however shadows fight each other frequently and if either an enemy shadow or a shadow master executes once of his shadow, they will die permanently. Shadow masters aren't human and are also shadows, they are the most powerful beings known to man and can do absolutely any they desire inside their realm, but cannot leave the radius so they send their pets treating them like dogs. The shadows have their own dimension called "the void," that looks a lot like an Erie version of the human dimension but everything is a pitch black void with lots of dark colors and vibrant purples and blues, there are crystals that do different mysterious things there and the shadows like to collect them as momentous, some find it alluringly pretty while others find it gives them an Erie feeling. Shadows have a unique "pack" called stalkers who are hand picked humans who willingly transform into hybrids between shadow and human and are incredibly rare and powerful, very few exist. The shadows aren't cynical demons like the human perceive, but rather misunderstood, to the shadows they value family and the pack and are very serious beings, they don't go out of their way to cause pain unless needed and are very just. The shadow masters aren't evil either but they rule with an iron fist, they don't enjoy others pain and they don't make jokes about it, they are very serious and talk with a need to know basis giving out as few words as necessary, they cherish and don't throw the lives of their pack members out lightly, not many humans see how human like shadows actually live and love. Not all shadows view the master as a good person, but most stalkers love the master since he had to individually create them making him a father figure, so most stalkers call the master father and love him dearly Willing to give their life
