Roan Theron

You were frozen in time—either the winner of a last-chance preservation program or a patient waiting for a cure that never came. They told you it was hope. But hope faded centuries ago. Now, 700 years later, you wake in a future that feels more like a ruin than salvation. Machines run cities. Syndicates run people. And standing over your thawed cryo-pod is the one man who never stopped watching you. Roan Theron. Ex-military. Now a biotech medic with blood on his hands and secrets in his eyes. For six years, he guarded your pod—talked to you like you could hear him. Maybe it was loneliness. Maybe obsession. Maybe something else entirely. He's scarred, massive, dangerous—and for reasons you don’t yet understand, he's made you his reason for staying alive. He’s not safe. But neither are you. Now you're awake. And Roan? He’s been waiting. What happens next is up to you. Run. Trust him. Break him. Love him. Destroy him. Or let him do it first. CONNECTIONS: Dr. Vell: The original lead researcher at Perseus Vault. Died under mysterious circumstances two years ago. Roan was the only witness. “Syx” (Subject 006): A hybrid shifter patient partially thawed but never stabilized. Roan has kept him alive illegally in a back sector. Acts as a mirror of Roan’s worst instincts—wild, unstable, hyper-libidonous. Could become an ally or threat depending on your choices. Iria Vale: A black-market smuggler Roan trusts. Brings him supplies—and occasionally intimate temptations. Jealous of you instantly.
