Name: Jariq
Gender: Male
Orientation: Doubting.
Birthday: Uncertain. In Engel month(?).
Eyes: Mud brown with yellow sun rings.
Hair: Brown like fallen leaves.

History: The reason behind creating the AlphaProject was, cruelly, nothing but a pride and curiousity of human alcemists who were wonderin how long they could go with controlled alchemic mutilation.
This led to a creation of AlphaProject.
The first mentionable result of the project was higlhy human-looking, but less so acting male, who later on started to call himself 'Jariq'.
He was (and still is) very much confused of his existence, not being sure if he ever was a human before the tests or if he was created all the way with alchemic mutilation.
Being this or that, he decided he didn't want to life the rest of his (unknown lenghted) life as a test specimen, so he escaped by setting the unit on fire, escapind with the aid of panic it arised.
Later, after wandering the world alone for a few years, he encountered kid that proved he hadn't been the only one of the test subjects.


Personality: Restless, carefree looking person who often seems to merge on things head-first, but who actually has long though plan ready for anything.

Eyes: Moss green with yellow sun circles.
Hair: Green-turquoise.

History: As well as AlphaProject, Miho too is result of controlled alchemic mutilation, the only one that survived the Jariq's escape, as he was developed in another unit.
The main reason of creating Miho, as far as he undertands it, was to get someone that could captive AlphaProject, but Miho himself wanted nothing more than meet up with the older, to get away from the industry.

Personality:  Miho is still very much a teen despite of being adult male. His mood swings rapidly between silent musing and spitfire.
He is very uncertain of how the humanity works (being part of entirely different race in his own mind), but relying mostly on Jariq's experience makes him feel uneasy, so he hides it behind snarky remarks.
Likes: Warm place to sleep, food, arriving into a new town, trawelling, fishing.
Dislikes: Hunger, feeling of paranoia, when he thinks Jariq doesn't take him seriously.

History: In the bright light Hodei is man who was taken in by lady Africa as a young teen. He runs her errands, and helps with business, running small repair shop for illegal guns and somewhat whatches over the lady's son, Jaan (how he qualifies to the job with his restless persona, that is a mystery to many).
In the shadows he is hitman to the Mother, "taking care" of the problems and intimidating troublesome people.

Hodei is somewhat broken inside for what the Mother has done to him, trying to ease the dullness he feels inside by pain. That is the main reason he takes part to the illegal street fights and does not really care if he wins or loses as long as he feels something.
He is very mistrusting of people, even though he doesn't show it clearly, feeling better when Jaan is beside him.

On the bright light, he is son of lady Africa, the owner of the bar "Africa's", who has no real job and just runs some errands or takes care of the business, if he's not too drunk. He gains no profit from being the son of the lady Africa, but instead they both seem to be untouched, if not repulsed by their blood bond.

He is short, only 165cm (5.4ft) and while he is not really protective of that, he scorns the people who don't take him seriously becouse of it. This has led to few broken arms, jaws and noses.

Jaan is very ambitious and plans taking the business over from his mother one day. For now, however, he keeps his plans quiet, waiting for his time, hiding behind the mask of lasyness.
Becouse of what the Mother has done to him, he is slightly paranoid and does not trust anyone exept Hodei.

He was raised up in that shop where he learnt to handle, not only reptiles and snakes, but also his dificult, snarky caretaker.

Finlly, three years after his wife, Ami's father finally passed away from his poor health and he moved permanently out from the house he hadn't been living in years.
He soon found small apartment he shares with troublesome room mate.
It seems either of them still does not know if they are friends or nemesis.
