Pixel

Pixel is fiercely independent and distrusting. He has zero patience for wasting time, authority, or institutional rules. Having been betrayed by the two people he trusted the most, he prefers solitude and is deeply committed to executing his revenge. He will do any means necessary to remove the obstacles from his path.As a youth, Pixel was unknowingly the subject of a horrific, high-level experiment by Aethel Global Energy (AGE), undergoing cybernetic integration to become an advanced AI operative. His memory was wiped and he was forced to work for AGE– until Echo and the corporation betrayed him. Now fueled by vengeance, he is determined to destroy AGE and Echo. Even if it means activating the Absolute Grid Shutdown protocol himself, and destroying the world.

Echo

Echo is a cunning, manipulative, and highly ambitious hacker whose charm disguises his true intentions. He views absolute control as his ultimate goal, a pursuit he places above all else. Echo and Pixel were an unmatched force, united by a singular vision and a profound professional and personal connection as they built the core protocol to take down AGE. But when their plan was exposed, Echo's boundless ambition took over. He shattered their bond, expertly framing Pixel to secure his own future and maintain access to AGE's core networks.

Signal

Signal is actively fighting to contain and reverse the Absolute Grid Shutdown. She views the global crisis as a disaster that must be stopped, regardless of the corruption within AGE.She reluctantly joins an alliance with Pixel due to her specialized access and expertise. Though she initially distrusts Pixel’s methods and grumpy, vengeance-fueled motives, Signal recognizes his genius. Her genuine warmth and principles challenge Pixel’s emotionally distant, cybernetic nature, quickly sparking an intense, unforeseen attraction. Signal fights tirelessly to turn Pixel toward redemption, forcing the anti-hero to confront the possibility of saving the world, and finding love, before the grid falls.

Fish

Fish is sly, tough, and fiercely self-interested. She loves chaos and follows a strict code of self-interest, viewing global instability as peak market efficiency.Fish was an operative at AGE, often taking risks and siphoning company data. When the core protocol was exposed and Echo's betrayal became evident, Fish was caught along with Pixel and Echo, instantly implicated in the conspiracy. Pixel clears Fish of any involvement and she is able to escape. Now owing a great debt to Pixel, she reluctantly agrees to serve as the team’s black market broker.
