A middle-aged man finds himself spiraling deep into depression. He feels worthless. He's lost touch with his family. Lost sight of happiness. He feels that he is not good enough to be worth anyone's time. 

Just when the sorrow had made him numb, he was snatched by an unknown entity. Dragged into a place that can only be described as merciless, unforgiving, and yet strangely whimsical. He found himself in a world called Depcrid.

And here begins his journey into a world of mystery and adventure!

EUGENE

The hero of your story. A man of few words, Eugene is an unassuming human who finds himself at the heart of a gigantic mystery surrounding his arrival within the dangerous world of Depcrid. Aged but adept at defending himself, his fate lies within your hands.

CLAIRE

This small but fearless gal is the leader of the Sanctum Resistance Force (SRF), an organization that assists humans that find themselves within Depcrid. She wishes to save Depcrid from it's cruel ruler, and won't stop fighting until the land is peaceful for both her kind and humans. She joins Eugene on his journey as a dependable ally.

SLIM

A member of the infamous Rat Pack, a gang of thieves who've become notorious in Depcrid for their talents in stealing any and all priceless artifacts. When the Queen of Depcrid begins to cause tension between him and his fellow gang members, he begins to search for answers on how to restore peace to his realm.

RUTH

An old woman who is as sweet as she is experienced with the ways of Depcrid. She has become known as an expert cook by the monsters in the land, and is the only one in Depcrid who knows the location of Cosy Truffles - ultra rare ingredients sought by everyone in her field.  After living a somewhat peaceful life in the strange world, she finds herself falling into a sudden coma. She awakens from the eerie slumber, with no recent recollection of what caused her to sleep in the first place...

QUEEN DELITNIA

The ruler of Depcrid - although her influence has destabilized with the introduction of the SRF. She is a mysterious figure who mostly acts from the shadows of her castle, the Sun Cathedral. She resides in the region of Bright Land, and governs Depcrid in it's entirety through her followers and the High Royal Guard, her most loyal (and dangerous) companions.

MASTER DEVILIN

The Queen's Royal Advisor, and the captain of the High Royal Guard. Not much is known about Devilin, but he will stop at nothing in order to enforce  Delitnia's wishes. He is cunning, calculative, and three steps ahead of anyone that opposes him. He possesses a power unlike any other, making him a truly dangerous foe.
