Main Characters
Hugo Wandschneider
⏵ Karma Specialty: Escape Artist
⏵ Karma Study: Clockwork Karmastry
⏵ Mastery Focus: Gravity
⏵ Power Type: Hugo controls gravity through karmastry.
A sharp-minded teenage Clockwork Escape Artist who bends gravity through stubborn will and raw curiosity. Hugo can alter weight, launch himself like a projectile, bend space at close range, and condense crushing force into focused, devastating attacks.
His signature style centers on spinning gear constructs amplified by gravity. What begins as clever control over mass and momentum grows into the ability to warp light, distort space, and tear open brief seams into the Great Machine’s plane.
He wants control over the forces acting on him. He wants to prove he belongs.
But buried beneath all that drive is a risky technique he calls “Glitch.” A dangerous shortcut that forces results the universe should not allow. It works, for a moment. And when the Great Machine corrects the error, it corrects hard.
Marco Mendoza
⏵ Karma Specialty: Escape Artist
⏵ Karma Study: Creative Karmastry
⏵ Mastery Focus: Animation
⏵ Power Type: Marco brings drawings to life through karmastry.
Marco Mendoza is a teenage Escape Artist in training who channels Creative Karmastry through his signature karmic paint. With a flick of his fingers, his sketches snap into existence. Blades. Barriers. Binding strikes. Each shaped by his command of positive and negative polarity.
Positive karma lets him build, bind, and temporarily reshape whatever his paint coats. Negative karma cuts, erodes, and leaves permanent damage. Outside flux destinies, his creations fade under the undertow. His destruction does not.
Marco fights with the precision and flow of a pro skater. Controlled. Stylish. Relentless. Every motion sets up the next. Every mark means something.
He doesn’t just want power.
He wants to leave his mark on the world and make sure everyone sees it.
