By and large, the story told in the six issues of the Game is a story about survival. If you remove all the mysticism, you can see the tracing paper from the Real World around us. The events taking place in a mysterious and gloomy city are sometimes simply written off from real life experience. Naturally, as it is customary to write in books, “All names are changed and all coincidences are random.”
Today I want to tell you about the heroes of the Game, who are a kind of connecting elements that form and define the life of the City. I hope you can draw parallels with real life yourself.
GUARDS
Representatives of the “executive power". It is the Guards who control the strict enforcement of the law established by the Owners of the City - insiders, daily, at the appointed time of the “Bloody Harvest” ritual, must kill each other to provide food for the Corpse-Eater, from whose body the Demons of Evil receive food.
The Guardians are experienced, trained warriors. True, brave fighters look like living corpses, but this does not affect their combat skills at all and, importantly, an adequate perception of reality. They are not at all equal to local zombies, monsters, demons and other inhabitants. They are well armed, not devoid of a sense of humor, they know their worth and the measure of their power, backed up by the chainsaw of Ripper, the executioner-maniac, about whom a separate story is planned. Most importantly, you can negotiate with Rhinestones. In many ways, what our Main Character manages to turn the City into, by the end of the sixth fragment of the Game, turns out to be possible only thanks to cooperation with them.
REGAN
Is it possible to imagine a society without a character who despises established orders, who knows how to adapt and mimic better than any chameleon? Of course not. The Mafia is immortal. Regan is a bright representative of the local criminals. As events unfold, we learn that he is not the only representative of this social group, but he plays a key role in the whole story.
Regan was framed by his competitor, and handed over to the priests of Demons of Devil in an unconscious state, naturally without warning whom he brought them. Upon recovering, the old gangster almost immediately assessed the situation and showed up for his first “Bloody Harvest” accompanied by a huge Madox, a representative of the local gang of monsters. Together they chopped most of the insiders who participated in that ritual into a bloody mess. It was a clear violation of the rules. Madox was beated to Guards, and a calm and confident bandit, the Guards were surprisingly respectfully carried out to the Ripper.The whole city was waiting for how it would end, and it should have ended banally simply - after several hours of wild screams, several black plastic bags with human body parts should have been carried from the cemetery to the Corpse-Eating hall. Instead, outwardly, as always calm Ripper, came out of the Ripper as if nothing had happened and disappeared somewhere. Two days later, the eyes of the Guards shone calm green, and long-legged zombie girls and even a few very cute and obviously pleased with what was happening insiders-girls appeared on the streets of the City. The locals looked with surprise at the unexpectedly bright neon sign of the new massage parlor, and Regan, since that day, has never visited the “Bloody Harvest. And that was just the beginning…
QWIG
The dwarf. Once upon a time, when he came to the City as an ordinary insider, he was almost immediately captured by the headtail and turned into a symbiont, which saved him from the ritual “Bloody Harvest". The mind of the monster golovokhvosty and the dwarf turned out to be so close to each other that together, they formed a very effective being, instantly engaged in what Quig always showed inclinations. Quik is the main dealer of anything in the City.
Every last zombie knows about him, local demons are ready to do business with him, even despite his questionable honesty and often manifested greed. It is these last two properties of his character that becomes decisive for the demon Moku when he chooses a partner for the realization of fresh human corpses.
Qwig has never been to the “Bloody Harvest”, apparently due to the fact that immediately upon arrival in the City he was captured by a head-tail. When the minds of the victim and the invader agreed, the updated Qwig went to the Guards and agreed on something with them. A few days later, not far from Regan's massage parlor, the sign of a shop selling fragments of human bodies caught fire. Sometimes you could even find such delicacies as baby eyes or dried intestines in the store. The delivery men of frozen human flesh, dressed in green uniforms, were scurrying around the city in different directions, and the city, at night, found the sweet bustle of an ordinary provincial town from the real world. And that, too, was just the beginning…
MAD
Honestly, it's me. My alter ego is in the Game.
Mad is, for the most part, known as an arms dealer. The purchasing power of insiders is not particularly high, so the Med more often rents out the means of destruction than actually sells something. The business does not bring much profit, but apparently Mad is hiding something, since he calmly communicates with the Guards and even sometimes appears at the “Bloody Harvest”, obviously for fun, since no one has ever seen him in the Corpse-Eating Hall.
It is rumored that Mad has a channel of communication with the real World. Perhaps that is why he is in a strong, even friendly relationship with both irreconcilable rivals - Regan and Quick. No one knows where Mad lives. Everyone thinks they're in some back room of their armory. But I'll tell you a secret - he has a small but cozy studio in one of the abandoned houses in the neighboring Sennichimae district.
IN THE END
This is the end of today's story. Next time I'll tell you about my favorite prostitute Alice, an eternally drunk zombie named Crazy, a cheerful bartender and a mysterious Psychiatrist.
Best regards for all!
