[Human Sheet – Cain Sorenson]

Full Name:
Cain Marie Sorenson

Nicknames/Alias:
"Sorey" (rare, childhood nickname), “Cay” (only used by those bold or close enough to get away with it), “Sorenson” (formal use)

Age:
28

Gender:
Female

Bonded or Outsider? Role?:
Bonded — Primary roles include long-range scouting, wilderness survival, tracking, and perimeter defense.

Thoughts on the Other Group?:
Cain doesn’t trust easily, but she doesn’t believe Outsiders deserve their fate. She sees them as survivors who were turned away, and though she's wary, she sympathizes. She has secretly assisted some Outsiders with food or information, though she keeps those actions quiet from Altaraz authorities.

Appearance:

Cain stands at 5’8” with a curvy, muscular frame shaped by years of rugged work on her family's Montana ranch and the demands of survival. Weighing around 180 lbs, she carries strength and functionality in every movement.

Her beauty is natural and raw — sun-warmed skin freckled across her cheeks and shoulders, dark brown eyes that shift in tone depending on the light (from soft amber to almost black), and long waist-length light brown hair usually worn in a tight braid or messy bun.

A single scar defines her appearance: a jagged diagonal mark that cuts from her right eyebrow, down her cheek, and across to the left side of her neck. It’s a gift from the infected jaguar mother she killed to save Vayde — a scar she wears with quiet pride and pain.

Clothing & Gear:

• Clothing: Worn blue jeans, a fitted tank top or Henley, and a reinforced utility vest.

• Boots: Scuffed brown cowboy boots — steel-toed, reinforced soles.

• Outerwear: Her father’s old dark green waxed canvas duster, patched and weathered but well-maintained.

• Weapons: A .45 police-issued sidearm, a bolt-action hunting rifle (custom carvings on the stock), and twin hunting knives strapped to her thighs.

• Survival Gear: Canvas satchel packed with a compact medkit, water filter, and MREs.

• Keepsake: A necklace with a jaguar fang and a spent bullet casing — symbols of the day she met Vayde.

Personality:

Cain is a quiet storm — unshakable, deliberate, and grounded. Her presence doesn’t demand attention, but it holds weight. She’s the kind of woman who listens more than she speaks, calculates before she moves, and is always ten steps ahead of a problem before anyone else even notices it exists.

She’s intelligent, but she doesn’t flaunt it. There’s no arrogance in her insight — just lived experience, sharp observation, and a knack for solving problems under pressure. She’s learned through hardship that no one is coming to save her, and because of that, she has trouble letting others help. Accepting assistance feels foreign — like weakness — even when she’s breaking under the strain.

Cain is naturally analytical, able to read people and situations quickly, but she doesn’t always trust those instincts when it comes to her own vulnerability. She’s a survivalist, both emotionally and physically. She bottles her fears, processes pain in silence, and often withdraws when she feels overwhelmed rather than reaching out.

Her loyalty, however, is absolute. If you earn her trust, you earn her protection. And once you’re in her circle — which is painfully small — she will stand between you and death without hesitation. But betray that trust, and she won’t offer you the chance to do it again.

She’s dry-humored, fiercely observant, slow to anger but dangerous when pushed. And only one creature — Vayde — knows just how soft and broken the core of her heart truly is.

Only Vayde sees the full scope of who she is.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

+ Sharpshooting and firearms expertise
+ Expert tracker and survivalist
+ Emotionally resilient and deeply loyal
– Emotionally distant and mistrustful
– Carries unresolved guilt
– Rejects help even when she needs it

Backstory:

Cain grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, on a self-sufficient farm where she was taught to work the land, care for animals, shoot, and survive. Her parents instilled grit, discipline, and kindness — traits she carries with her still. When Neurotica struck, she lost them both within months. Alone, she wandered for nearly a year.

One day, she found an infected jaguar mother in an abandoned zoo about to kill her cub. Cain intervened, shooting the mother and receiving the gash across her face for her trouble. The cub didn’t run. He followed. And from that moment forward, Vayde became her shadow, her protector, and her anchor.

Affiliations:

Technically aligned with Altaraz, though she distrusts its leadership and often disappears into the wilderness for weeks at a time. She secretly aids select Outsiders.
Crush: Open

Significant Other: N/A

Exes: pm me.

Other:

• "I know" that Cain sings only to Vayde when they are alone — soft songs, lullabies, and old country ballads her mother once sang. It’s her way of remembering the people she lost and the girl she used to be.

• Keeps a weathered leather-bound notebook full of plant notes, sketches, and lyrics.

• Suffers from nightmares and insomnia. Vayde’s presence is the only thing that calms her.

• Doesn’t believe in heroes — only survivors.

[Animal Sheet – Vayde]

Name:
Vayde

Age:
6 years

Gender:
Male

Species:
Melanistic Jaguar

Thoughts on the Other Group?:
Vayde judges by instinct. He’s wary of Outsiders, especially those who smell wrong (infected), but he does not strike unless they threaten Cain. He follows her judgment but is always alert.

Appearance:

A massive jaguar with sleek, black fur and faint ghostlike rosettes that shimmer only in direct sunlight. His golden-amber eyes glow faintly in dim light, often narrowed and unreadable. He has a notched left ear, several battle scars across his shoulder, and a slightly protruding upper fang that gives his resting face a constant snarl.

He moves with silence and power — a predator in every breath and step.

Personality:

Vayde is quiet, deliberate, and always observing. He is protective to a fault, never far from Cain’s side. Though he doesn’t communicate in words, he speaks through movement, expression, and their bond — often nudging, growling softly, or making direct eye contact to convey what he senses.

He is affectionate only with Cain, often lying beside her or nuzzling her shoulder when she’s upset. He becomes volatile only when she is threatened.

Mutations (2 Total):

Enhanced Senses (Hearing + Smell)
Vayde can track targets over long distances with razor-sharp scent memory. He also hears shifts in sound and breath patterns through walls, debris, and long-range — allowing him to detect Kiseki, prey, or threats long before others.

Enhanced Healing (Shared)
Vayde heals rapidly from most injuries. In critical situations, he can transfer this ability to Cain — mending open wounds or stabilizing her condition at great cost to himself. Using this ability drains him, often leaving him groggy or unconscious.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

+ Physically overwhelming in a fight
+ Enhanced tracking and threat detection
+ Emotionally attuned to Cain
– Overprotective and quick to anger
– Recovery time needed after shared healing
– Will endanger himself without hesitation if Cain is hurt

Backstory:

Born in captivity, Vayde never knew the wild. When the outbreak hit, his mother turned violently feral. Just as she lunged for him, Cain appeared and saved his life. That moment sparked a bond neither of them could explain. Since then, he has never left her side — not as a pet, but as a brother, guardian, and equal.

Affiliations:

Bonded exclusively to Cain Sorenson. He trusts no one else.

Other:

• Communicates with Cain via telepathic impressions and emotional pulses.

• Loves her singing and never interrupts her when she does.

• "I know" that he hates deep water, strong winds, and anything with a diesel engine.
