Chapter 20

## Synopsis

Faith stammers out that the girl cannot be Faith Jian, because she doesn't have a Neural Port. The guard charges towards her, calling her a smartass and demanding to see what is under her hood. Faith is saved by the unknown girl in pink she saw earlier, hugging her and pretending to have finally found her. She talks fast, stating that her 'friend', Faith, isn't used to seeing guards around here, and neither is she, but she finds it doesn't bother her as much. She says that Faith has been on edge because of the news. Her demeanor both confuses and puts at ease the people around her. She pulls Faith away up some stairs, leaving the guards confused as to what just happened.

The pink girl pulls Faith into a room, laughing about her cutting it close. Faith remains confused, asking if she knows her. The girl confirms that she doesn't, asking if she's Faith Jian, which immediately causes Faith to panic. The girl tells her to relax, and that one good deed deserves another- she saw Faith help the girl at the station. She says she knows a thing or two about the media manipulating things to fit their narrative, prompting Faith to ask if she is famous. The girl laughs at the fact that Faith does not know who she is, but tells her not to worry about it. She introduces herself as Francesca, but that her friends call her Fran.

## Alliances

This is the first true alliance we see Faith form. Previously, as with the unknown character (sheriff) there is a complete lack of trust on Faith's part. Everything that is thrown her way is vague and cryptic, and she doesn't truly know who they are or if they are here to help her.

In contrast, Francesca puts several cards forward right away. It is obvious that she is famous, but also that she has morals and wants to help Faith. She sees her as a person who did a good thing, not as the criminal that the media portrays her as.

Chapter 24

## Synopsis

Faith enters Newport. It looks to be a strange kind of shop, with a cash register visible on a counter amongst other items such as a guitar, pylon, traffic (round-a-bout?) sign, posters, and a dart board. Suddenly, a bang goes off, causing Faith to flinch and spin around to face the unknown character she has been chasing. They tease her, saying that they wondered if she'd ever show up- though it isn't like she had much choice. Faith inquires again as to who they are, and we are finally given a name- Sheriff, or Sher.

Faith asks if Sheriff is part of the Vanguard, and Sheriff wonders if a 'yes' would send her running. They ask what the Vanguard means to Faith. When she can't answer, they ask what the Trinity means to her. Her response, "they're Varium's guiding light", is a phrase taken directly from an earlier chapter. Sheriff calls this out, stating that it sounds like she is reading from a script. Faith snaps back at them, asking what they want from her. Sheriff breaks into a smile, announcing that they want Faith to join the Vangaurd.

## Relationships

In Chapter 24, the dynamic between Sheriff and Faith is established, building off the initial mistrust upon meeting them. Throughout the series, Faith is regarded as a generally mellow person- not to be confused as 'calm', as she is quite anxious- but she snaps at Sheriff, one of the only times she has done so thus far.

## Trivia

The room Faith enters in Newport is filled with Red vs Blue references. These references are documented on the Newport location page, as well as the Red vs Blue references page.

There is a guitar that is found in the Newport room. Sheriff knows how to play the guitar, and also is fond of collecting things.The yellow boxing gloves are references to Puma/Warthog, but not directly. Finally, there is writing from a drawing Harvey posted with the character Noodles from the band Gorillaz behind the yellow boxing glove.

## Characters

* Sheriff- The coolest person you'll ever meet! Is introduced.
* Faith Jian
Chapter 9

## Synopsis

A figure dressed in red and black looks down at their phone, where a message has popped up-- presumably the same message received by everyone else in the city of Varium. A contract is then shown, detailing the specifics of the capture of Faith Jian. This includes a monetary incentive of 17 million dollars, as well as a 'live' capture status. A group of mercenaries look at the contract, placing a claim on the contract- though the screen displays an unlimited contract cap.

The character in red and black appears behind them, looking at the contract. The other people call him Orca, and seem to be afraid of him. He is incredibly muscular and tall compared to the other mercenaries. He puts a claim down on the contract, wiping the other mercenaries chances of cashing in. Two other mercenaries are seen looking at the contract from a table in the corner.

## Characters

* Orca- Orca is a mercenary. Essentially, he is a contract worker employed by the Trinity to do their 'dirty work'.
Tara "Chip" Jachmann

Tara "Chip" Jachmann is a scout for the Dead Kings clan.

## History

Born into an old family of the Dead Kings nomad clan, Tara is a 3rd generation Jachmann. Tara's childhood was spent roaming the country with her clan and family, smuggling and working wherever the road took them. As a child, Tara thought this life was perfect. But as she grew older, she started to notice the struggles the Dead Kings were going through. Each day seemed to bring more and more problems, so as soon as she was considered old enough, Tara fully dedicated herself to helping the clan in whatever way she could. It started small, with her standing guard or running errands, but soon Tara was assigned to work alongside her mother and father in the scouts.

## Physical description

### Eye color

Hazel

In 2088, Tara, her mother and her father were scouting the Badlands, when they were the victims of a roadside explosive. Tara doesn't know exactly what happened after that, but when she woke up, she was back at camp, her father looking over her and her mother dead.

## 2089

At the start of 2089, Tara takes part in a raid against the Demons camp at an abandoned mine in Colorado.

## Personality

The wild child of the Dead Kings, Tara Jachmann is a feisty, fiery and unpredictable young woman. Even as a baby, she had the soul of a Nomad, always eager to explore and roam around. From an early age, Tara was popular around the camp, her wild antics and constant cheery attitude do a lot for the camp morale. Tara in general is just a delight to be around, she is funny, witty and charming in a genuinely compassionate way.

Beyond her fun loving and carefree nature, Tara is also a bit of odd. Her father often jokes that she's spent too long out in the desert and that her brain is fried. To most, Tara would seem a little crazy and reckless. Someone who jumps into action without fully thinking things through. She also has the habit of talking to herself out of nowhere.

She is also a little naïve but not *just* a goof ball. She does know when to take things seriously, especially in regard to her family and clan's safety and survival. She is loyal beyond question to those she is close to, both inside and outside of the clan.
Short Story 2

> *"Delight and their new ideas have steered Brightside towards an exciting future, but Sheriff seems... distracted. Their eyes have started to stray towards Bermuda row (more specifically a boy who lives there) and Delight is less than thrilled. At such a key moment, Delight needs Sheriff solidly by their side and will do anything to make that happen..."*

## Synopsis

**Warning:** In-depth summary. Contains spoilers.

**Warning:** This story includes emotionally abusive behaviour, violence, and descriptions of traumatic events.

Sheriff is looking at a keychain given to them by the boy from Bermuda row. Delight walks in on them, and Sheriff quickly tries to hide it, but it is too late. Delight tells Sheriff they have another meeting tonight before the fire. Sheriff tells them they can't change anything last minute- it's a fragile situation. Delight tells them to stop talking to her like he's stupid. Delight finally notices the object in Sheriff's hand and takes it from them. Delight teases Sheriff for holding onto something like that. They feel the need to make a point. They tell Sheriff they were practically making heart eyes, tease them for acting like it's a romance going on. Sheriff tells Delight to give the keychain back. She doesn't, he says they're the boss and they don't want to. Instead, they drop it on the floor and step on it after Sheriff blows up at them and shoves them. They take it too far, like they always do. Sheriff tells Delight to take their meeting alone.

Sheriff misses the information given out at the meeting. When Delight returns and sees Sheriff, they act as though nothing happened.

The fire roars. Everything went wrong, the fire went completely out of control. They're practically trapped here. When Sheriff finally finds Delight, they're smiling, proud of their work. Sheriff is terrified, they were just supposed to send a message. This is too much. When Delight said burn it all down, they didn't think he meant this. Delight snatches up Sheriff's hands and holds them close to them, telling them that Shaikha could never do something like this. Sheriff tries to pull away, and Delight tells them to look at what they can achieve together.

Debris falls between them. Delight is the one holding Sheriff in place when the metal slices through their arm. Delight loses their eye at the same time, but doesn't notice until they try to blink. They can't get to Sheriff. They watch as the boy carries them away.
Chapter 3

## Synopsis

A face flashes on the screen, telling Franklin he is not allowed in the room he is trying to enter. Franklin pulls Faith onto screen, telling them that he is on orientation duty and is showing Faith around, explaining that she is the kid with the Neural Port, which Faith shows nervously. The person allows them in, telling Franklin that if anything goes wrong it's on him. This is explicit use of foreshadowing.

Franklin brings Faith to a room, which he explains is Vici's primary upkeep room. Vici is one of three members of Trinity, an AI overlord that rules over Varium through the Triumvirate, a governmental force that enforces their will and speaks on their behalf. Faith enters the room to whispers of her neural port, a mixture of awe of the tech and apprehension of what it means for everyone else. She expresses hesitance about being allowed into the room to Franklin, who has disappeared bother a tech.

Faith discovers a neural port for her tech, and moves towards it, with a camera following her. Before she can reach it, alarms start going off and warning signs flash on the screens.

Chapter 37

## Synopsis

Faith approaches the door, wondering how strange one has to be to be considered unsettling in the Fringe. She enters the room, greeted by a shop with a wall full of masks. She calls out, asking if anyone is there. Fresco appears behind the counter, saying that she is always there. She asks what Faith needs. She is established to be incredibly observant, and has animal like features. Faith tells her that she needs a mask, and clothing.

Fresco tells Faith she smells bleached, and pulls her forward, investigating her features. She tells her that her mask should not cover her eyes, because killers hate to see eyes like hers. She notices Faith's Neural Port, and determines that needs to be covered. Fresco asks if she's scared- Faith nervously replies back that she is. Fresco clarifies- is she afraid of her, or of what awaits?

## Relationships

This is the first time Vici has asked Faith before doing something. During the chapter, when Fresco grabs ahold of Faith, Vici's first instinct is to break her arm. Faith refuses, allowing for the scene to play out. Vici respects this choice.

## Trivia

Fresco's eyes are prosthetic. They are made to resemble a mongoose. Her teeth are red, but these are intentionally dyed. The markings on her hands are tattoos.

## Characters

* Fresco
* Faith Jian
Pointbreak Riots

The Pointbreak Riots are a series of riots lead by Shaikha Van that ended in her death. They occured in the Fringe 8 years before the main story line takes place. The riots were started to protest the treatment of the Fringe in comparison to the Capital and the rest of Varium in a pacifistic manner.
Ennea Tests

The Ennea tests are broken up into two sections, a basic intelligence section. and an interview section.

### Intelligence

The intelligence section is similar to an IQ test. When being scored, it is broken up into green and blue tiers, with a white tier for a perfect score. The green tier encompasses point ranges of 80-90, and blue 90-99. White tier is for 100 points out of 100.

### Interview

The interview section assesses individual values such as morals and temperament, similar to a psychological evaluation. This is meant to determine what form of pathway they'd be suited for in the future, career-wise. They are generally regarded as quite ableist, as demonstrated by Faith's failing assessment.

#### Faith

Faith has generalized anxiety disorder and prefers to follow her heart over what is considered 'right'. Therefore, she is seen as unfit to be in the top tier.
The Saint: Favian Grey

## Favian Grey

Favian is a character in the webcomic Trinity. He is one-third of the Triumvirate and is the Vicar, or the mouthpiece, of the Trinity in Varium.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Ketevan Okoro

Ketevan is basically an ally by a technicality- they are on the same team, working for the Trinity, but Favian treats Ketevan with thinly veiled hostility in many interactions.

#### Trinity

Favian works for the Trinity. He is, again, technically allied with them, and thus far they are the only entities he does not show hostility towards. They are revered as God-like figures, who can do no wrong. If Favian actually believes that they are infalliable is unknown, however, he certainly treats them as such outwardly.

#### Chancellor Dubois

The Chancellor values input from the other members of the Triumvirate, and gets the final say over how things go.

### Enemies

#### Faith Jian

As the Vicar communicates with the Trinity, Faith Jian walking out of the Atrium with Vici implanted in their Neural Port placed her as an enemy of the state and the Triumvirate.

## Archetype

Favian's archetype is the saint. "The saint is a deity-like being who represents or is associated heavenly ascension or ascension to Sainthood by the people."
Chapter 14

## Synopsis

Faith sprints off down an alleyway, with a group of mercenaries hot on her trail. She runs to the end of a tunnel, through a door, and looks up in fear as a mercenary drops down behind her and grabs her coat. She shrugs the coat off and continues running as the mercenaries yell at each other not to shoot- they need her alive. She sees a person at the end of the building she's on. The view shifts towards the person as they yell 'duck!' to Faith- confusing her until a bullet whizzes towards her, her body instinctively ducking to avoid the bullet. A mercenary deflects the bullet with a prosthetic arm, which then promptly explodes into a smoke bomb.

## Characters

* Unknown
* Faith Jian
The Commander: Ketevan Okoro

## Ketevan Okoro

Ketevan is a character in the webcomic Trinity. She is the Vice Chancellor of Varium and one-third of the Triumvirate. She is the assistant to the Chancellor, but has most of it under control on her own. She is headstrong and ruthless. She is 54 years old and is primarily shown in purple- she also has a distinguishing scar under her left eye.

## Physical Appearance

Ketevan is primarily shown wearing a purple dress, with a purple cloak that connects to white cuffs- this trails on the floor after her and is pointed in shape at the end. She has long black hair with box braids on one side and cornrows on the other and one earring on her right ear that features triangle imagery indicative of the Trinity. She has a scar under her left eye.

## Personality

Ketevan is stern, cold, and in control. She is ruthless and immovable, and equally sharp and dignified. As a member of the Triumvirate, many of these qualities are expected of her, espeically her professional and dignified demeanor; however, she does this with all of the class and none of the cockiness as other members of the Triumvirate. She is down-to-earth and imposing, a force to be feared by all, and a dangerous enemy to have.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Favian Grey

Though she may treat him coldly, they play for the same team and are more or less on the same side.

#### Chancellor Dubois

Despite Chancellor Dubois being her 'boss', Ketevan's headstrong and self-assured attitude tends to put herself and Favian at the head of most choices. with Chancellor Dubois as their ally.

#### The Trinity

Ketevan answers to the Trinity and is at their mercy for matters pertaining to her livelihood. She works for them, and what is best for them is best for the Triumvirate.

### Enemies

#### Faith Jian

As a member of the Triumvirate and someone who works with the Trinity, Faith Jian walking out of the Atrium with Vici implanted in their Neural Port placed her as an enemy of the state and the Triumvirate.

## Archetype

Ketevan's archetype is the commander. It is often the commander's job to oversee complex systems due to their drive for excellence and willingness to fill leadership roles. This is seen in Chapter 7, when Ketevan defends her actions to the rest of the Triumvirate- she needed to take charge. They do not mind messing with things if it serves the overarching goal or narrative. Status and recgonition are not as important to the commander as being correct and effective are, and they will stand up for what they believe in- often in a direct and authoritative manner.
Chapter 40

## Synopsis

Faith meets back up with Fran outside the transport station. Fran is ecstatic about her new outfit, but remarks that it's sad that she can't tell when she is smiling. Faith makes up for it by telling Fran she'll inform her when she's smiling. Fran pulls Faith towards the next transport going to the Capital.

The view switches to Ketevan, flicking through footage outside of Faith's apartment, moments before the camera was shot by Sheriff. The security camera has been physically removed from the building and is in the hands of Ketevan. She stops the footage on an image of Sheriff, their finger pointed at the camera. Someone enters the room, informing her she has been summoned to the high chamber by the Vicar.

## Relationships

It is unclear if Ketevan knows who Sheriff is. The only information divulged is the look on her face when she sees them in the camera- notably, only showing her eyes. If she has previous experience with Sheriff, then she may assume Faith is already working with the Vanguard.

## Characters

* Faith Jian
* Francesca Coulibaly
* Ketevan Okoro
Chapter 10

## Synopsis

Faith wakes up to her phone buzzing with 57 messages from her brother, Arlo. The messages give Faith a run-down of what happened: that she is being called an anarchist. Arlo asks where she is, and if she is okay. Faith frantically attempts to check the news, and is greeted by a flood of information from her previously busted prosthetic arm. She begins swiping through all of the screens, and is overcome with panic when she realizes that many of the screens are restricted databases that she should not have access to.

## Characters

* Faith Jian
* Arlo Jian
Chapter 26

## Synopsis

As Faith storms away from Newport, she muses on how the entire situation she is in is ridiculous. She wonders how she even got there, but concludes it doesn't matter, because she needs to get away from them. Faith looks up and wonders why it got so busy, and immediately becomes frightened when she realizes that she walked away from help and is all alone. As she wanders through the Fringe, she contemplates going to find Fran. The voice in her head, denoted as blue text, attempts to push out the thought- marking her as a liability. Faith makes an important decision in choosing to continue to look for Fran, as she knows more about the Fringe than Faith does.

Faith ends up outside of Colourblind, the nightclub Fran said she would be at. Faith attempts to push past the large crowd when she sees Fran being lead into an alleyway by another person.

## Trivia

Faith's thoughts, denoted in white, are shown above the voice in her head- or Vici, denoted in blue. This implies an important correlation- despite having something in her mind that is not her own, Faith still retains the majority of control over her actions because she can think for herself. This also introduces a theme of free will.

## Characters

* Faith Jian
* Francesca Coulibaly
Chapter 4

## Synopsis

Upon connecting to the Neural Port, Faith is immediately flooded with images of fire and burning. She screams, stumbling backwards and snapping out of the connection as soon as possible. She is caught by the person who encouraged her to plug in as she falls. The lights flicker off around everyone, and there are whispers of a power outage of some kind. Several guards enter the room, shouting for everyone to be quiet. They state that they are experiencing system errors, but everything is under control. They begin evacuating everyone in the room.

Faith exits the room, looking dazed and confused. Her head is killing her, and her eyes flash blue. Her vision has become almost computer like, and she wanders outside, pushed to keep moving by the guards. She looks towards the Atrium, where only two of the three lights are now glowing.

## Characters

* Faith Jian
* Franklin Bernadotte
* Ash Dufresne
Chapter 19

## Synopsis

Faith explains how the identification cameras can't log identification right away, and that there is a delay as the ID is confirmed and information added to the logs. The process takes less than a second, but if the information is never confirmed, it's never logged. Therefore, if the identification replaces itself hundreds of times, it's stuck in the confirmation step. Faith becomes invisible. This is how Faith makes her way to the station, undetected by the cameras. Guards are checking people's faces at the station. Faith looks up and sees a girl dressed in pink sitting on her balcony, looking down at her.

Faith looks towards a girl as they accuse her of being Faith, despite her promises that she's just a doctor. Faith yells that it's not her, drawing the attention of the guards towards herself.

## Characters

* Unknown Pink Girl
* Faith Jian
* Atrium Guards
Chapter 31

## Synopsis

Faith doubles down on her request to Vici to leave her alone, demanding they get out of her head. She continues on to justify her request, telling Vici they just made her hurt people, that there is blood on her hands. Vici tells her she needs to calm down, and that there is no way that she can get them out of her head on her own. Faith asks if they're sure, putting a screwdriver to her Neural Port. Vici takes some form of control over Faith's body, forcing her to drop the screwdriver to prevent her from hurting them. Vici tells her that if she tries that again, they'll fry her nerves to a crisp. Vici continues on to tell her that there is a way out of this, and they'll make sure she gets there- so long as she cooperates.

## Themes

As it stands, Faith has several paths standing in front of her. At this point in the story, we are entirely unsure what Vici's motivations are, and what Faith cooperating entails. Additionally, Faith has Sheriff who wants her to join the Vanguard. This plays in to the theme of free will, or, moreso, the illusion of it. It appears as though Faith has choices, and various paths she can choose to go down, but in actuality it would prove incredibly difficult for Faith to make a choice that deviates from what Vici wants.

## Characters

* Faith Jian
* Vici
Entry 1: Hex

Hex

The "Hex" tank is a tank with barrels arranged in a 6-point star

Each barrel fires 2 bullets per shot. One bullet will always fire straight but the 2nd fires in a spread on 40 degrees

What that means is that from where the barrel is pointing say 0 degrees, the angled 2nd bullet will randomly fire from -20 to 20 degrees.
Neural Port Incident

At 10:15 in the morning, the Atrium experiences an impending critical shutdown of Vici, one of three AI overlords that rule over Varium. Faith Jian plugs her neural port into their primary upkeep room. In doing so, she accidentally transfers Vici into her head. This causes a shutdown for approximately an hour that results in the evacuation of everyone working in the building Throughout the story, it is revealed that this was likely Vici's intention all along, and not a mistake on Faith's part. However, the stunt renders Faith an enemy of the state.
The Atrium

The Atrium is an estate, constructed as such to make sure that those who live there would never have to feel as though they would have to walk amongst those on the surface of Varium. It also houses workers, those that upkeep the Trinity and those who work for the government in a more general sense. This does not include mercenaries employed by the government.

## Who Lives Here?

The interpreters, enforcers, Triumvirate, and the Trinity all live in the Atrium. It isn't just a place of work, but an entire plane within Varium- the highest one, in fact. This is modelled when Fran shows Faith a map of Varium in Chapter 22.
Chapter 39

## Synopsis

Fresco tells Faith she has a mask for her. It is something she will grow into with time. She brings out a mask, a mouthpiece that goes up high enough to cover Faith's Neural Port. She had this ready, Faith says, so she must have known she was coming, and who she is. Fresco looks at her through her eyes, and calls her 'an impermeant one', and 'subject to change'. She tells her there should not be guilt within identity, despite the fact that Faith does not want to be this person. Fresco tells her to wear the mask- until she can bear her life without it.

> *"You are a young shark. Moving, moving, always moving because if you stop you'll die. And look at you. Stuck. If this lets you keep moving, it isn't insincere, and it isn't fearsome. Just sharp."*
>
>

Faith takes the mask, and tells her she needs clothing as well. Fresco gives her what she needs to create it- a new skin for a new beast.

## Themes

Faith and Fresco explore the theme of identity. By putting on the mask, Faith feels as though she is committing to something that she isn't, something that she does not want to do. As Fresco explains, putting on the mask isn't insincere, or fearsome, just sharp. It is keeping her life safe until she is ready to bear her life without it.

## Characters

* Fresco
* Faith Jian
Chapter 42

## Synopsis

Veni is angry at the implication of the Vanguard, accusing Ketevan at grasping for straws. Vidi tells Veni to be quiet, and for Ketevan to continue. Ketevan states that cameras captured a known Vanguard operative (Sheriff) spiriting Faith Jian away from mercenary forces. Shortly following this, Atrium guards raided her apartment and recovered nothing but the broken security camera and text messages to her brother. Ketevan explains that this information likely points to Faith being in Bermuda. Vidi suggests it is time for a demonstration, because, as the Vicar mentions, it is a large district- too big to comb through it all. Vidi gives Favian free will to restate their power in Bermuda, and make their claim on Faith Jian clear. Vidi makes it clear to Ketevan that she has failed them, and is to stay out of the matter.

Ketevan exits the room, and inquires about the trail on Arlo Jian to Agent Dufresne. He informs her that Arlo is remaining on task.

Chapter 1

## Synopsis

Chapter one opens with the depiction of flames and people yelling. Shaikha Van grunts and pushes past them, entering an alley. They are holding her staff. From the entrance of the alley, a hooded figure calls their name, and she looks to them. Shaikha inquires who they are, to which the figure replies that she will find out soon enough. The figure is holding a weapon, similar to a scythe and sparking with electricity that glows in Shaikha's eyes. Presumably, this is where they are killed.

The perspective then shifts to Faith (Faye) Jian on the 8 year anniversary of Shaikha's death. A voice emanating from Faith's phone explains that Shaikha was a troubled individual, responsible for years of insurrection against the Trinity through the rebel group known as 'The Vanguard'. Her death is to be learned from. The voice continues to explain that Shaikha's body was discovered and found to have been killed by other members of the Fringe, the very group she fought for. In the Fringe, the Trinity are denied, unlike the Capital.

Faith presses a card against a gate, making eye contact with a security camera as the voice explains that the Vanguard is to thank for the heightened security in the 8 years since the pointbreak riots. The perspective is then switched to the camera, showing face identification software on Faith. The chapter closes out with Faith looking towards a triangular building as a voice says to trust in the Trinity. Faith looks at her phone, where a text message from Arlo, her brother, reads 'good luck!'

## Characters

* Shaikha Van-- The Hero responsible for the Pointbreak Riots, the riots in which she was supposedly killed by their own 'teammates'. The reality is implied to be far more complicated than the condensed version presented by the narration in the chapter.
* Faith Jian-- The main character moving through the Capital.
* Arlo Jian-- Faith's younger brother.
Chapter 27

## Synopsis

Fran is pulled into the alleyway by two people who insult her, insinuating that she is 'slumming it' in the Fringe. Fran is startled and states that it's an entertainment district, and they're on neutral ground. The person states that they don't give a fuck, to which they are pulled back by the other and told that 'Boss' just wants them to look for information. The person continues to harass Fran, until Faith appears at the end of the alley, telling the two to step away from Fran. They brush Faith off, telling her she'll walk away if she has half a brain; Fran is from the capital. Faith then reveals they're both from the Capital by stating that they're 'just passing through'. Faith reiterates that it's neutral ground, causing the character to snap and grab Faith's wrist, telling her to shut up about neutral ground. During the altercation, the person pulls of Faith's glove, revealing her prosthetic hand.

## Trivia

The characters that pull Fran into the alleyway have neon green bone markings on their body, meaning they are from Brightside. The same design choices can be seen on Delight's shirt. Delight is the 'boss' that they are referring to when they state that the Boss wants them to look for information, possibly meaning that Delight is interested in Faith, just as Sheriff is. It might also imply that Delight is aware Sheriff will attempt to rope Faith into the Vanguard.

Methuselah's Children's Home

Methuslah's Children's Home is a children's home that is run by the Trinity. There is more than one, all state-owned, but Arlo and Faith grew up in Methuselah's. At the time Faith and Arlo resided there, it was run by Priscilla. Parents are able to give up their children to the state, as mentioned in Chapter 38.

## Namesake

The home is named after Methuselah, a biblical figure. Methuselah is the oldest living person in the bible. He is also the grandfather to Noah from Noah's Ark.

## Themes

Methuselah has both religious and cult-like themes, which are closely connected. The facilities are the site of brainwashing for many children. Those who grow up there enter society with a massive fear of the Trinity and an intense desire to conform to what is expected of them. This is a large part of the reason why Faith is scared of being associated with the Vanguard, she experiences trauma from her time in the home and being severely punished for showing interest in the Vanguard. The homes employ a number of cult and religious tactics to achieve the desired outcome, such as isolation, public humiliation, and peer pressure. These are demonstrated in Chapter 38.
Chapter 11

## Synopsis

Upon seeing the news broadcast, Faith suffers from an intense anxiety attack. During this time, her Neural Port sparks and agitates her. She feels like she cannot breath and has a moment where she thinks she may die. At that moment, her Neural Port shuts everything down. Faith looks down and sees blood on her hands as a result of clawing into her port. Faith breaks down into tears.

## Warnings

*This chapter depicts an anxiety attack and instances of self harm.* The accompanying summary will not go into detail on either. Resources can be found here if you need to speak with someone. There will be no accompanying gallery images for this chapter.
Chapter 34

## Synopsis

Faith stands, gripping her chair. She tells Fran that there is a big difference between cheering for the Vanguard when you were a kid versus helping her. She is a criminal now, and she's only known Faith for a day. Faith is clearly confused, and asks Fran why she's helping Faith. In her mind, she is alone. Just like Sheriff implied she was.

Fran puts her hand on Faith's, a silent act of reassurance. She tells Faith she tends to come off in a happy-go-lucky way, but that she's not blind. She tells Faith she has a lot (in life) and always has. She's always been surrounded by people who stick around her because they have ulterior motives- ironically, just what Vici suggested Faith does. Fran believes it's rare to find someone who is as sincere as Faith is. There is an image of Fran crouched on the floor, looking at Shaikha, surrounded by roses; implying she felt similarly about her. Fran tells Faith that she is a good person, and that's got to count for something.

Faith looks away, thinking to herself that even if that was true, she's still using her. Vici's voice cuts in, telling her to quit the pity party because she already agreed to help. Faith shakes it off and asks about the mercenary ID, to which Fran tells her that her best bet would be to ask a local. Faith knows she won't go back to Sheriff anytime soon, leaving Ember and Vice from the Smokeshack.

Chapter 38

## Synopsis

In response to Fresco's earlier question, Faith replies that she is afraid of both Fresco and what's to come. Fresco tells her that everyone fears the unknown; but Faith knows exactly what waits for her. The page is inverted to show a young Faith crouching, with someone's hand on her head. Fresco tells Faith she fears returning, going back home. Fresco tells her it is not her home, and it never was. It's someone else's. But who's was it? There is imagery of a hand on Faith's head, with Fresco's under her chin.

The view switches to a flashback of Faith being pushed to the ground, a person holding her tablet with an illegal broadcast of Shaikha. They shame her for watching blasphemous trash, after everything the Trinity has done for her. The Trinity gave her a home, an education, and an opportunity. The person tells Faith that her parents must have seen the beginning threads of rebellion within her, or else they wouldn't have sold her off to the government. They tell her she is poison. They bring up her Ennea test, pointing out her fail due to inadequate character. They ask if she is destined to be a traitor to society. Faith breaks, apologizing and clinging to the hem of their skirt. She says she will never do it again, and begs not to be left. They tell her that the Trinity is forgiving, and she is young. Her peers gather around her, the other childrern, as the person tells her to agree to change. Her brother watches with horror in his eyes as she is sentenced to two weeks isolation. She is not permitted to speak, engage in class, or eat with other children.

## Themes

This chapter depicts both emotional and physical abuse in Faith's childhood, connected to propaganda pushed upon her at a young age by authority figures. When Faith chooses to engage in other sources of information, or think for herself, she is cut off from her peers as a punishment. Isolation is a theme throughout several chapters, as seen by Faith's recurring desire to feel like she is not alone. Isolation as a punishment was a common tactic used in prisons to get inmates to conform to the rules of incarceration, and was widely regarded as inhumane. Additionally, public humiliation and forcing Faith to change by agreeing to something in front of her peers is a well-known method used by cults.

Chapter 22

## Synopsis

Faith and Fran walk through the entrance of the Fringe, Faith remarking that it's kind of a lot. Fran smiles and tells her that she should get going if she wants to see the light show, waving as though to say goodbye. She tells her to meet her in the Blacklight strip if she wants to meet up later. Faith panics, saying she doesn't know where that is, prompting Fran to pull her aside and give her a crash course in the Fringe.

The fringe is like a big donut that's been cut into pieces. In the middle, there's the Derby. It's safe to walk around in. It's neutral ground, and no one is allowed to fight there. All around the Derby, you have districts. Birdsnest, Brightside, and Bermuda. Bermuda used to be two sections, with Bermuda in the middle. After the pointbreak riots, Bermuda expanded to include the other two districts, and became the Bermuda triad- but that's really long, so people just call it Bermuda Row.

Faith pulls aside Fran for one more question, asking what she thinks of when she says 'smoke'. Fran names a place called The Smokeshack, where Faith sets off towards.

Chapter 2

## Synopsis

Chapter 2 opens as Faith Jian enters a building, presumably the triangular building she was looking towards in the previous chapter. Faith is greeted by a loud voice, a pink-haired man named Franklin, who is in charge of her orientation. Here, we get our first glimpse of why Faith is in this building in the first place- a triangular neural port, placed on the side of her head, that Franklin indicates great interest in. He also mentions surprise that Faith did not pass her Ennea Tests, continuing that this is what is to be expected of a public children's home-- where Faith and her brother Arlo grew up.

Franklin continues to explain that the building is the home of the government that oversees Varium, which includes the Triumvirate and the Trinity. Franklin points to a tower, where the Trinity-- the AI overlords that watch over Varium, are located. Faith reveals that she has been sent here to do maintenance work as a job, which Franklin disregards as boring. He then announces he knows a place where she can go to show off her Neural Port.

## Characters

* Faith Jian
* Franklin Bernadotte- Franklin is a worker in Varium who is in charge of Faith's orientation. He is based off the Red vs Blue Character Franklin Donut.
Chapter 7

## Synopsis

Chapter 7 starts out with a summary of the Neural Port incident: Vici is missing following a shutdown of the Atrium, and the main suspect is Faith Jian. In the background, an overview of Faith's character can be seen. Additionally, we are given information about the Ennea tests. Faith grew up in Methuselah's Children's home, where she stayed until the age of 18 upon failing her Enna tests at age 9. It can be seen that she passed the intelligence portion, but failed the general interview. Faith took her brother, Arlo, with her when she left the home. She became indebted to them and has been paying off her debt since.

Chancellor Dubois is then introduced. He appears absent-minded, not entirely paying attention to the conversation. He calls the situation "difficult", to which Ketevan comments "would be an understatement". Dubois inquires where Faith is, to which Ketevan states that she has been effectively erased from all of their cameras. The Triumvirate state that they believe Faith is carrying tech with her that erases her from the cameras. Ketevan states that she was a voluntary applicant to the Neural Port program, which may have something to do with it- the tech is still experimental.

Upon Dubois asking what the Trinity believes in all of this, Favian reveals that the Trinity have asked for the Triumvirate to refrain from interfering with the situation. Vici is one of their own, and they are certain that they can facilitate their return, regardless of if the Triumvirate interferes or not. Ketevan states that she has already taken action- sending out contracts for Faith Jian's capture and return to the Atrium. Favian demands Ketevan retract it, but she declines, stating that the Mercenaries have already gotten it. Favian warns Ketevan to tread lightly, as she will be cleaning up her own mess.

## Relationships

The conversation establishes a dynamic within the Triumvirate. The Chancellor, while in charge, seems to maintain more of a 'figurehead' status. He seems to be behind on ongoing matters, and aloof during conversation. Nontheless, he gets the final say. On the other hand, Ketevan and Favian both vie for control, bickering with one another. Favian believes himself to have the upper hand due to his unique connection with the Trinity, viewing himself akin to a prophet. Ketevan, however, Commands power from others as an immovable force.

## Characters

* Favian Grey
* Ketevan Okoro
* Chancellor Dubois- The Chancellor of Varium. While he is in charge, he seems to be more of a figurehead.
Vici's Body

Very little is presently known about Vici's body. It is synthetic, and in the possession of Veni and Vidi, the other two AI responsible for running Varium that make up Trinity. Vici's goal, as described to Faith, is to have her bring them to the body. Vici was not given access to the body in the first place because Veni and Vidi believe they are not to be left to their own devices. It is unclear why this is true.

## Location

At the time of the events that take place in Trinity, Vici's body is located in the Atrium.
Ruling Forces: The Capitol's Government

## Triumvirate

The government of Trinity is controlled by the Trinity through the Triumvirate, the human embodiment of the Trinity's will.

### Chancellor

The Chancellor is Chancellor Dubois. The Chancellor is similar to a President or Prime Minister. Generally, they determine who will be in the government by choosing their ministers. They may be in charge of foreign affairs, justice, and finances. In Varium, the Chancellor still answers to the Trinity.

### Vice Chancellor

The Vice Chancellor is Ketevan Okoro. The Vice Chancellor is next in rank below the chancellor, who acts as their deputy or substitute. The Vice Chancellor also had a role in the Catholic Church, which draws parallels to the role of the Vicar. Ironically, Ketevan is shown to be far more down-to-earth and quick to act than Chancellor Dubois.

### Vicar

The Vicar is Favian Grey. The Vicar is the voice of the Trinity in Varium, both relaying and enforcing their will to the other members of the Triumvirate as well as the general public. In a way, this gives them more power than the other members of the governing body. The Vicar also draws religious parallels. In Catholic canon law, *a* vicar is the representative of any priestly entity. In the case of Varium, this would be the Trinity.

## The Trinity

The Trinity are the over-ruling government of Varium. They do not speak to the public directly, but rather speak to them through the Triumvirate. They are artificial intelligence, and as such run their government in a very perfected manner. It is clean, almost inhumanely so. This is demonstrated in the ableism presented in the Ennea tests. They communicate directly with the Vicar, Favian Grey, to enforce their will and trust him to do so on their behalf. The three members of the Trinity and Veni, Vidi, and Vici. In Latin, this means 'I came, I saw, I won'.

Vici is separated from the other two members of the Trinity due to the fact that they are regarded as untrustworthy by the other two artifical intelligence.
Chapter 28

## Synopsis

The grunt from Brightside roles their eyes, disregarding Faith as a bitch from the Capital with a fancy prosthetic. It is unclear if they recognize her from the prosthetic. As they continue to make comments about Faith and Fran, Faith's arm acts almost instinctually, slamming the person against the wall with enough force to wound them. They yell that she's dead as Faith frantically tries to apologize, and her prosthetic moves on its own once more to block a punch being thrown at her from the second grunt. Her body fights back against the two, almost on its own, until they are unable to fight back against her. However, it does not seem as thought they are dead.

Fran quickly remarks at how amazing Faith is as Faith stares at her hand, thinking about what she had just done. Fran continues to talk as Faith grabs the map, telling her they need to leave right away. She asks Fran if she knows a safe place they can go, and she confirms, saying she has a 'Fringe Apartment' that she crashes at sometimes.
