PROLOUGE
AXIS
They only put the most dangerous ones on Level 9… so why am I in here? I can't help who I was born to be, although I really wish I could. I blame myself for everything… my parents' death, my being stuck in here… it's all because of me. Here I am… trapped like a bug in a jar, captured for the amusement of others. And every time they tap on the glass it just drives me insane! I almost really feel sorry for myself. I want to be free. I want to sit along the Oceanside and breathe in the natural air instead of this artificial air they make me breathe every day; but the Oceanside… that was my habitat when I was a little kid.
Paps always used to pick me up and fly me across the ocean and then threaten to drop me if I didn't stop squirming. My parents were always so excited to see me grow up… to see what I would become. Of course, seeing me grow up also came with a fear that I would become someone I shouldn't. Or, that I would end up like this. Locked up in a government prison like some lab rat. And what's worse is that they tried so hard to protect me from this… they died fighting for my safety!
And in the end, all that was never really worth it. And right now, I'd rather be dead than live with this guilt I have inside of me. But let's face it… I can't die. I will never die. Only certain people get that privilege… that blessing. My name is Axis Kingston, son of Adam and Amethyst Kingston… and I'm not a killer. I promise.
ROSABEL
There are only certain things I like to keep out of my thoughts. Out of mind, out of sight they say. The past is… well, it's the past. Water under the bridge, you know? But sometimes when I look back, it's like it's not even my life I'm looking back on. Like I would never do the things I dared to do as a child. Like I couldn't control my actions. Resembling the worst fucking movie to ever come out in history, my life is missing a few important parts. Parts that should've been the warm, fuzzy memories that many talk about. Although I will never regain memory of "the good years" I can make sure I remember what it's like right now. My prime. The headline of my life. Rosabel - the serial killer of the century. I like the ring to that.
JETT
Have you ever just sat and watched the stars? Breathed in the beauty, and listen to their augustness? Fell for them, got on your knees and prayed? When you believe in something, it's hard to be shaken of it. But sometimes you doubt it. Sometimes I doubt it's really real - all of this. But the three children can't be dead. No. I won't let it happen, no matter what they say. Some call me crazy. Some pity me for believing in what I do. But those children in the corner of my cell… they love me. They call me Daddy.
RK
Those son a bitch assholes will pay. It was a fucking accident - don't they understand that? Like I would really want to kill my family… you must be shitting me. Seriously, we all lose control sometimes. Right? What I did wasn't wrong. It was just… evolution.
GABRIEL
My mother always said I was special. Put it out there to the whole world to show just how 'special' I could be. What she didn't realize was that the kind of 'special' I was would kill her. I didn't mean to do it. It was purely a crime of passion. Not that I don't regret it, because I do. I mean, really - she was all I had left. The only person that would love me through thick and thin. She didn't deserve the cruel, painful death I put her through. But she said I was special. She told me I was special. And then when I showed her just how special I was… she got scared.
CHRISTIE
Yeah, I'm the famous Christine West, daughter of the West-changers as they're known. They had that organization - The Butterfly Effect - that was an attempt to try to unite everyone with abilities to do good in the world. What a fucking bust that project was. I can… see what people's abilities are just by looking at them. Perfect ability for the Company, to whom I work for. So yeah, I'm not just a criminal who got lucky because they needed me on their side. I actually have a clean record. But I don't know… if getting my record a bit dirty is what it takes to get Gabriel then… I guess I better find some mud to roll around in.
SYREN
We're almost the same. Ever since I saw him, I felt this deep connection that I haven't felt with anyone in a while. I… think I'm in love with him. I mean, I'm sure we could never have a relationship together. In a prison? No, it couldn't work. But… there's no sense of not trying, right?
DESTIN
I am Axis' P.E. trainer. I am a stay-in-shape guy, so I always give him a hard time with working his heart out. He's an odd young guy, always seems like he's hiding something. Despite that, I plan on making him part of the Company. In detail, part of the 'One of Us, One of Them' program. He definitely deserves the promotion. Plus, he just seems like one of those guys that wouldn't go tyrannical-crazy if we put a gun in his hands.
