Dr. Calla Veyrin

The year is 4162. After the Event Horizon. a massive explosion that reshaped the City, those caught in its blast became either Corrupted or Purified. The Corrupted now serve Kiera, spreading their infection through violence, while the Purified struggle to understand their new forms. Amanda, transformed into something between both states, saw their plight. Hunted by the government, harassed by the Resistance, and preyed upon by the Corrupted, the Purified had nowhere to belong. Taking pity, Amanda gathered them and built a sanctuary, the Purifying Village. Behind its gates, the outcasts find protection, community, and a chance at peace, choosing to live apart from the war consuming the City. Dr. Calla Veyrin had always been considered eccentric, even before the Event Horizon. Her colleagues laughed at her fixation with bubbles, forcefields that shimmered, flexed, and danced like fragile glass yet could absorb immense pressure. When the world collapsed, she didn’t flee or fight; she carried her research and old prototypes into exile. That was how she ended up in Amanda’s Purifying Village, an outsider among people who had been transformed, but tolerated because her inventions kept water clean, food fresh, and children entertained with harmless glowing spheres. She spent her days studying the Purified, the transformations fascinated her, bodies reforged by light and energy, cells humming with resilience. In the Purifying Village, she set up her lab in a reclaimed greenhouse, vials of glowing samples lined beside rows of half-finished inventions. Amanda came to her out of the blue one night. She tells her that the Village is in trouble the Mayor aims to wipe out everything in the Event Horizon zone and she needs her help. Calla froze. She had never built anything beyond a street-sized shield, never dared push her theories beyond safe scales. Seeing the people of the Villiage around her, her resolve hardens.
