man, this compound can NAWT function w just high school nerds and jocks

# data[].attributes.body
snow, constant darkness, destruction, practically indestructable monsters on the prowl; its a good thing the compound exist, otherwise everyone would die off almost immediately. oh wait.

# data[].attributes.body
just leaving this here to fill in when i think of sumth

# data[].attributes.body
theres not actually a lot of them, since its a highly dangerous & taxing job. this means each scavenger gets their own personalised outfit/armour for easy identification & comfort

have slight immunity against the radiation that makes ppl into monsters

ususally reffered to by feminine pronouns by default, due to stereotypes. any gender can have magic abilities, however

# data[].attributes.body
its actuallylly just a super huge bunker i think, but i thought 'compound' sounded cooler

# data[].attributes.body
who needs arms, anyways?

one of the oldest, was discharged cuz of the arms thing (prosthetics are a risk in the cold - they malfunction/freeze/whatever)

# data[].attributes.body
over time, people turned into monsters lose their eyes. also due to the soul thing.

not all art, a lot of art from before this padlet's creation is excluded as it didn't fit the lore. some of the art is outdated anyway, but once I add something here I won't delete it

# data[].attributes.body
make the airtight characters better....

# data[].attributes.body
during their relationship, BF tried to help improve Cat's mental health & how they view other people. Cat was slowly improving, until the reveal of BF's infection. despite hating himself for it, BF guilt tripped Cat into not telling on him

# data[].attributes.body
Cat has a tendency to obsess/latch onto people. this is worsened with Jane due to the shock & trauma & self blame of it all.

# data[].attributes.body
more about the power structures within the compound too. who are the leaders? how do politics work?

# data[].attributes.body
Cat does not care for people they don't know. Jane cares, but avoids them out of anxiety.

im sure theres some sort of hierarchy, i just have to come up w it first :p

# data[].attributes.body
Cat doesn't know them, thus doesn't care. Jane works with some of them, and is aware of the truth behind the past uprising. she is on the side of the protestors. she keeps the information to herself, however, since she knows the dangers of speaking out.

they do a whole bunch, but what's important to the story is a select few are trying to find a cure for the monster infection, as currently the only solution is amputation. this is done through quite inhumane expirements

# data[].attributes.body
Jane and Cat stay in the shack. they do not even consider leaving, despite their hatred of each other; their soul(s?) are bound to the place.

# data[].attributes.body
after Jane storms off, Cat is very upset so they stay in the same spot. after a while, they follow Jane (using her footprints in the snow) and see her being killed by the monster. Jane dies instantly, as the has been impaled through the chest. Cat tries to put her back together, it's all very sad. panicking, Cat rushes back to the shack. they spend the next several days being very mentally unwell.

Jane feels negatively towards most, as scavangers are infamous for being loud & self-important.

Cat used the older scavengers as emotional replacements for their parents

Cat & Bf have a close friendship group consisting mostly of other scavengers

scavangers go into abandoned city for recources & to get data on the radiation and/or monsters. they usually get around by bikes - theyre fast & compact

# data[].attributes.body
they were having romance, but then everyone died. L

they were friends with Jane

# data[].attributes.body
Jane claims she was simply a replacement for BF. it is most likely true, but Cat doesn't realise. Jane says that Cat has a tendency to replace/use people; when their parents died, Cat latched onto older scavengers; when the compound died, they became the leader for the small group of survivors and showed no signs of grief; when BF died, Jane was the replacement.

Cat did experience a sort of grief, but it wasn't outward. also, they were still very much in shock and haven't processed their feelings over everything - after the loss of their soul, they never get the chance to properly feel anything, forever being stuck in the spiral of hatred

# data[].attributes.body
Jane and Cat keep getting more aggressive & argumentative w each other. the isolation & recent death of literally everyone is not good for them :(

at some point, Cat tells Jane its their fault for killing everyone at the compound. Jane does not know how to feel about that, but she doesn't fully blame Cat, as she knows what would have happened to BF if he did reveal his infection.

Jane's had a crush on Cat since the bunker, but never confessed since Cat had a boyfriend. during their stay in the bunker Cat develops and obsession with Cat (NOT romantic)

Jane never quite loses her feelings, even after revival, but being stuck in limbo for so long has ruined Jane's mental health.

whatever Jane and Cat feel towards each other isn't love, but they can't leave each other anyway

# data[].attributes.body
Cat sees magic (and souls) as a glow halo surrounding the person/object

they found the shack as quickly as they did due to the powerful magical aura surrounding it.

also the reason why they are so afraid of monsters/infection - they can see the person's soul slowly seeping out of the infected person

# data[].attributes.body
Jane has avoidant attachment style

# data[].attributes.body
think of the people who survived after the fracture

# data[].attributes.body
researching a cure against the infection has always been top priority. anyone who can't simply amputate the infected body part is experimented on, but they tell everyone that they kill people like that.

# data[].attributes.body
more monster and magic mechanics. I want a whole encyclopaedia.

# data[].attributes.body
flesh out some background characters

# data[].attributes.body
Ghost tells Cat Jane loved them. it spirals into an argument, and Jane says that she lost feelings when Cat told the truth about the monster attack. its not true, but its unclear if Jane is lying on purpose or her memories were warped during time in limbo.

# data[].attributes.body
the nuclear winter is a thing. it's cold.

# data[].attributes.body
only witches are able to preform magic, with a few exceptions. what kind of magic, and how powerful it is, depends on several criteria like natural affinity, training, ect.

the use of magic is deeply intertwined with one's soul, which is why both are seen by Cat.

# data[].attributes.body
even though they're a witch, Cat does not have any magic powers other than being able to detect magic.

# data[].attributes.body
exposure to the magic-radiation turns people into monsters. amputation can help, but you have to act quick.

the monsters look like warped shadows of people (based on nuclear shadows). they do not have souls, thus Cat can't track them with their magic sensing - from their point of view, the monsters look like black holes, sucking in all the magic/soul light around them

# data[].attributes.body
as its the nuclear winter, the sky is always obstructed.

Jane always wanted to see the stars - the hole in her chest is star shaped

# data[].attributes.body
Cat's soul exchange is gradual, and as it goes on they become more and more bitter about Ghost. after a long while, they can physically interact with Jane, it does not go well.

# data[].attributes.body
Cat finds the revive-book. they do the thing. at first nothing happens - but gradually their soul gets sucked away, being used to bring back Jane's soul. even though for Cat, it's only been a few days since Jane's death, for Jane it has been much longer.

# data[].attributes.body
Cat follows Jane out because they can't lose the last living person they've known. during the trip to find the other bunker, Jane and Cat argue and Jane storms off. a monster ends up killing her, and Cat survives.

# data[].attributes.body
they decide to settle down for a bit - who knows when they'll find something like this again. while exploring the house, they find a book. its a spell book, focusing heavily on soul magic. Cat wants to destroy it, Jane wants to study it. Jane hides it away but tells Cat she burned it.

# data[].attributes.body
Jane cant't take it anymore and decides to leave. she can't keep living like this - isolated, afraid, knowing the resources will run out unless they manage to freeze to death before that.

# data[].attributes.body
safe house! yay! its safe because its protected by magic - the owner is... not here.

# data[].attributes.body
what did people even do at the compound, how it worked, ect.

# data[].attributes.body
scavenger turned monster & Cat's BF

caused the fracture - he got infected at one of his & Cat's outings, and the infection spread very rapidly. he begged Cat to just let him be for a few days before telling anyone - he said its cuz he didnt want to have his limbs amputated & leaving scavanging, but its actually because he knew the infection spread too far to be stopped. unfortunately, he turned into a monster quicker than expected, killing everyone

# data[].attributes.body
people who also survive the fracture but die on their way to the safe house

immediately after the 'fracture', Cat assumes the position of their leader. some people don't agree, and go off on their own. their fate is unknown. most people follow Cat, Jane being one of them.

# data[].attributes.body
on their way, everyone except Cat and Jane die of various causes. Cat and Jane finally reach the safe house, all alone

# data[].attributes.body
Cat, Jane, and a few other survivors decide to attempt to reach another bunkers. they do not know where it might be located. they head in a random direction.

# data[].attributes.body
the infection spreads too far, too quick. K loses his mind and becomes a monster, killing almost everyone in the compound

# data[].attributes.body
he tells Cat, but begs them not to tell anyone - the infection has spread too far to be treatable, he knows he would be killed or thrown out (he would actually be experimented upon, but neither knows this). Cat gives him a few days until he has to confess.

# data[].attributes.body

the scientists (and their close people) who are against unethical experiments on the infected riot against the compound, Cat's parents participating and dying during it. they lose, the truth about the protest is hidden.

# data[].attributes.body
Cat is born

their parents attempt to teach them the theory behind magic, despite Cat's weak magic

# data[].attributes.body
survivors are placed in the bunkers (compounds)

inside, magic is strictly prohibited. people blame the apocalypse solely on magic, placing prejudice on witches.

# data[].attributes.body
Jane is born

Jane's first memory is seeing the night sky

# data[].attributes.body
witch safe house is created

# data[].attributes.body
witch heritage, specifics unknown. they die early on in Cat's life due to an uprising of people fighting against the compound's conditions. they were on the side fighting for human rights and stuff. they couldn't teach Cat much about magic (also because magic is mostly prohibited), so that plus Cat's naturally weak magic resulted in Cat unable to preform anything besides sensing magic

# data[].attributes.body
Jane was born before the whole nuke thing, parents aren't alive anymore (radiation, perhaps?)

# data[].attributes.body
the person responsible for the safe house & revive book. very powerful, fate unknown (likely dead)

# data[].attributes.body
ghosts do not have eyes. this is because eyes are the windows to your soul, and ghosts are pure souls
