## Plot

*The world that we once knew ceased to be a long time ago. All life that had previously dominated within this plane disappeared without a trace. The wasteland stretched far and wide, those whom had survived knew nothing of the cause, and they only sought to rebuild the society that once was. With time, the once void wasteland flourished with new life, those who had built the new worlds took control as primary caretakers, dubbed Guardians by the woman whom they crowned as their Queen.*

*The Queen took lead in developing the new world by introducing new elements the Guardians could use: the 4 primary elements being Metal, Smoke, Plastic, and Meat. All seemed well, but something happened to the Guardians.. They have changed...*

*Dedan took his guardianship to the extremes, valuing time and resources more than the livelihoods of his workers. Japhet's existence was completely forgotten by his own children, so much that he resorted to hiding within the interior of another living being just to be loved again. And Enoch... Behind a facade created an Eden of his own. Introducing a new element, birthed from addiction and death, to be rewarded to his hard working denizens. As for the Queen, in an instant, she disappears within the walls of her own Room, with the intent of figuring out a permanent solution that will benefit the world they built.*

*The world was slowly falling to ash; until one day, a man wielding nothing but a baseball bat came along. With the aid of an old, wise cat, the man made his way  with the purpose of purifying the world of filth and corruption. Or so the wise cat thought. Blind faith was put into the man, only for him to eradicate the whole world, the Guardians, the Queen and her son. The wise cat approached the man for the final time, pinning the blame not unto the man, but the being behind the strings.  In the final stand, the man emerged victorious, reached out to the switch... and shut it off.*

*Time would pass, the old Guardians emerged from their graves through some miracle, whatever miracle affected them, did not affect the woman, nor her child. Instead they discovered new elements that could aid them in rebuilding what once was. All they can do is pray that mistakes will never be made.*

***Alas to say that I am the one who caused grief to the world. I led the man into his own demise, fooled into thinking that his intentions were pure. My final wish is redemption, in hopes that I can cure the mistake I have committed upon. I must bend the norm in order to complete my path and choose the puppet  that I know will aid me in this sacred quest.***

***Yes... you will be the one.***

## Characters

### Max

The main protagonist of the game as chosen by The Puppeteer; who works as a cook in Zone 3's cafeteria. As a cook and a delivery boy to boot, his current task at hand is to deliver food to the hungry Guardians. Because he is blind, Puppeteer gifts him the gift of Sight, allowing him to see the world in a completely different light. Despite being reckless and cocky, he's a very loyal soul and willing to aid people in their time of need.

### Sam

The one and only daughter of the Guardian of Zone 4 and one of the protagonists of the game, she is first found almost at Death's door in the annex tunnels of Zone 1; two weeks after escaping from her Zone due to an invasion. Max saves her and she ends up joining him shortly after as a promise to get her back home and save her father. She's accompanied by her trusty pet, Spike whom she carries around either on her head, or tucked in her night gown.

**Seneca**

A fennec fox/goat hybrid that happens to be one of the former Queen's products, a last resort meant to serve as a carrier of the world, but with the Queen's untimely demise, he was born premature, resulting in a frail, deformed body. He was eventually discovered by the Guardian of Zone 2, where he was appointed as a Secondary Guardian. He has a similar job as Japhet - ensure everything is working smoothly. To avoid scaring the denizen with his appearance, he relies on his 'illusion form', which resembles that of a Japanese urban legend - the Kitsune.

**Aleyes**

 Fleshy ghoul with many eyes protruding out of it, Aleyes (pronounced All-eyes, but one L is silent) is your local temporary merchant before he joins your cause. He is akin to a 'bottomless pit', able to store anything within his flesh, tickets, weapons, you name it. He may appear to be a little mean, but don't be fooled, he has hearts of gold and is genuinely caring, especially to the little kittens he fosters. Similar to Seneca's ability to use his illusion form, Aleyes has the ability to morph into a humanoid being, but the downside is that he has Flesh for hair that moves at random.
