Killy
Killy is a man of few words. He endlessly wanders a lonely, gargantuan labyrinth of concrete and steel, fighting off cyborgs and other futuristic nightmares, searching only for something called Net Terminal Genes. And he has a very powerful gun, which he uses without hesitation whenever anything resembling danger rears its ugly head.

Kumoi
Kumoi has been waiting his whole life for "the Healer"--a man prophesized to restore the broken world. When he sees Killy approaching from out of the abyss, he thinks the promised day has finally arrived.

The Others
Cyborgs, and Silicon Creatures, and Mutants- Oh my!
