Chapter 5 - Chapter 2.1: Character Profiles

AARAV

Age: 21

Height: 5'11

Build: Lean muscular

SkinTone: Wheatish

Appearance:

Aarav has a lean, well defined build that doesn't immediately draw attention but becomes noticeable over time. His posture is relaxed yet controlled, with minimal unnecessary movement.

His hair is medium-length and naturally messy, often falling over his forehead and partially covering his eyes. He makes little effort to maintain it, adding to his unbothered appearance.

His most defining feature is his eyes which is dark brown, slightly tired, and calm. However, when focused, they sharpen noticeably, losing warmth and taking on a cold, almost predatory intensity.

His expressions are subtle, rarely revealing what he truly feels.

Personality:

Quiet but kind, Aarav keeps most of his thoughts to himself. He doesn't react immediately to situations, instead choosing to observe and process before acting.

He rarely shows strong emotion, but in tense moments, a faint smirk occasionally appears i.e, subtle and often unsettling.

Traits & Habits:

Observes surroundings more than people

Processes before reacting

Maintains composure under pressure

Slight smirk during dangerous situations

Clothing (Early Stage):

Dark t-shirt (black/charcoal)

Open shirt (grey or dark tones)

Slim dark jeans

Sneakers

His outfit becomes worn over time, marked by minor tears and faint blood stains. He carries a dagger visibly while keeping his firearm concealed.

Overall Impression:

At first glance, Aarav appears ordinary.

But in moments of danger, his calm becomes something far more unsettling.

ROHAN

Age: 21

Height: 6'1

Build: Heavy-set, bulky

SkinTone: Medium to dark brown

Appearance:

Rohan has a large, heavy build that gives him a grounded and noticeable presence. His body carries weight, making him look more solid than athletic.

His face is slightly round, making him appear approachable rather than intimidating. His short, curly hair is usually unstyled, adding to his practical, no-nonsense look.

His eyes are highly expressive, clearly reflecting his emotions such as fear, anger, concern, and determination.

Personality:

Loud, friendly, and straightforward, Rohan doesn't hide what he feels. He reacts quickly and speaks without holding back, especially under pressure.

He is not naturally calm, but when others are in danger, he steps forward without hesitation.

Traits & Habits:

Instinctively steps in front of others

Raises his voice in tense situations

Reacts quickly rather than overthinking

Frequently looks back to check on teammates

Clothing (Early Stage):

Loose t-shirt (dark or neutral tones)

Overall Impression:

Rohan doesn't look like a hero.

But when things fall apart, he's the one who stands in front.

PRANAV

Age: 21

Height: 5'8

Build: Athletic

Skin Tone: Wheatish

Appearance:

Pranav has a youthful, boyish look that makes him approachable and easy to trust. His features are soft, and his expressions are open and easy to read.

His hair is neatly styled, reflecting a sense of normalcy from before everything changed.

His eyes are bright and lively in calm moments but in dangerous situations, they reveal his fear clearly.

Personality:

Energetic and talkative, Pranav often tries to keep the mood light. He is not naturally brave and gets nervous easily.

But despite his fear, he doesn't leave.

He is not the strongest.

But when it mattered, he stayed.

Team Dynamic

Aarav: Observation and control

Rohan: Protection and resilience

Pranav: Trust and humanity

Before everything changed, they balanced each other naturally.

Now, that balance has been broken.
