Dimitri Lev was born into wealth and privilege, the scion of a proper Londinium family, and raised on the notion that Unification was as inevitable as the stark cold of the Black.

−
Yet, even before the war, and much to his family's dismay, Lev was already swimming neck deep in the anti-unification counterculture that had sprung up among certain affluent youth of the Core. Attending rallies, staging protests, and using his skill with computers to undermine the Alliance agenda was just ''de rigueur du jour''.

I make broken things work and unbroken things not[edit]

D is for Doppelganger

Copies of me
At work? At the junkyard?
Which me did you see?

MY NAME IS . . . Johnathan Walton, but most folk just call me Fix

AND I AM A . . . Mechanic

WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE? An incessant arrhythmic clicking sound coming from the garage below my room. Metal on metal, metal on concrete, metal on glass, metal on wooden workbenches. clickclickclickclick. Whenever I try to sleep, it is there. I know what it really is, and it terrifies me.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU? I was taking apart the carburetor on a Ford Torino when shards of shadow, hard as metal, intangible as the night, came swarming out of the engine, flying in my face, and then vanishing about the garage.

WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE? Medium build guy with a partially shaved head, neck tattoos, and a professional service voice and smile that both could have gone to Harvard. They never falter until I give them permission to falter.

WHAT LIES BENEATH? Fraying filters and an ever deepening chasm of pure exhaustion and mounting frustration that are infested with this gibbering laughter that seems to come from everywhere inside of me and nowhere all at once.

WHAT IS YOUR PATH? I like to set things right. I fix things when I can, but the skills that make me effective at that are the same skills that make me effective at breaking things that are whole. I prefer to set things right.

WHAT IS YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE? The shadow swarm. They chased me in my dream the last night I slept. Shards of midnight that could pass right through you or eviscerate you like jagged blades. I woke to the towering black horse and the knight atop him, if they were indeed two separate beings - I am not sure - but to this day I fear the shadow swarm more than I do the one who dragged me across the wall of sleep, out of their killing path.
