Background
A Man Who Knows Too Much
Hexel is not a fighter. He never was. He was a man of science, technology, and data, a skilled coder with a deep understanding of the architecture of digital worlds. His expertise made him a prime candidate for the test team, but in reality, he was chosen for something more sinister.
They told him he would be compensated—paid handsomely for his contributions, for his willingness to step inside the unknown and provide invaluable feedback. But deep down, he knew better. He had worked in enough corporate sectors, read enough contracts, and seen enough hidden clauses to recognize the truth:
He was never getting paid.
This was never about money. This was about something bigger, something deeper. The company behind the Digital World Project wasn't just testing a game. They were testing people—their limits, their adaptability, their breaking points. And Hexel was just another piece in their experiment.
But he didn't fight it. He didn't argue. He signed the papers, put on the headset, and let himself be scanned. Not because he believed in their promises… but because he wanted to see the truth for himself.
Appearance & Style
Hexel's attire is a strange fusion of pragmatism and futurism, reflecting his dual nature—both grounded in logic and deeply fascinated by technology.
White Open Cloak – A lightweight, flowing cloak that adds an air of mystery. Worn open, it allows for easy movement, suggesting a mix of casual elegance and tactical awareness.
Black Shirt – Simple, understated. A contrast against the stark white of his cloak, emphasizing his preference for function over excess.
Futuristic Glasses – More than just eyewear, they are a tool. Whether for scanning, analyzing data, or enhancing visibility, they provide an edge in the digital world.
Futuristic RGB White Gas Mask – His most striking feature. The mask glows with blue and purple neon lines, shifting subtly as if alive. A statement of identity, but also a safeguard—a lingering paranoia from years of working in tech.
Brown Jeans – A rare touch of normalcy in an otherwise futuristic aesthetic. Worn-in, comfortable, a reminder of the life he left behind.
Formal Shoes – A final contradiction—polished, professional, yet oddly out of place. Almost as if he expected to walk back into an office when this was over.
Personality & Early Development
The Realist
Hexel approaches everything with calculated detachment. He is neither reckless nor timid—he simply thinks before he acts. Years of working in corporate tech have hardened him, making him skeptical, but not completely cynical.
Highly Intelligent – Sees patterns where others don't. Understands the underlying code of the digital world better than most.
Pragmatic & Level-Headed – Doesn't get emotional over decisions. Weighs options, then chooses the most logical path.
Wary but Not Paranoid – Knows he's being manipulated but accepts it as part of the game.
Detached but Curious – He doesn't expect this world to be fair, but he is fascinated by its design, its flaws, and its hidden mechanics.
Despite his cool demeanor, Hexel is not emotionless. There's a part of him that still wants to believe—to hope that this digital world isn't just another corporate lie.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths:
✔ Advanced Tech Knowledge – His TcL is already higher than most, giving him an edge in understanding and utilizing technology.
✔ Efficient Combatant – While not physically imposing, his high EnP (Energy Points) allows him to use shields, enhancements, and energy-based tools effectively.
✔ Strategic Thinker – He doesn't rush into fights. He studies, adapts, and exploits weaknesses.
Weaknesses:
✖ Physically Average – His Strength Points (SP) are low, meaning he relies more on tech than brute force.
✖ Distrustful – Struggles to form alliances, making teamwork difficult.
✖ Knows Too Much – His knowledge of the system may make him a target—if not by enemies, then by those who don't want him uncovering the truth.
