The
Players
The Sphere of the Triocracy is rife with interesting and diverse characters. Here are some of the major and minor characters who appear in Glimmer Trace.
Aryne is a strikingly unconventional member of the Techspire Infocracy, known for her rebellious curiosity and refusal to conform blindly to the rigid structures of the Triocracy. Tasked with monitoring the predictive Preception Abstractor deep within the Underspire, she struggles with its oppressive stagnancy and questions the lack of transparency in a system she views as overbearing, positioning her as a figure at the crossroads of compliance and transformation.
Atacis is a hauntingly tragic figure, embodying the physical and psychological toll of humanity’s deep dependence on digital escapism. As a ghûl, their decaying cybernetics and fragile body serve as a stark reminder of the cost of virtual immersion. In the Tangle, they lead a delicate network of others like them, quietly organizing survival efforts while reflecting the perils of unchecked technological reliance and the struggle to reclaim identity in a world dominated by Infinispace.
Fixxer is an enigmatic figure in the Sphere, shrouded in mystery and equipped with a cutting-edge “nullsuit” that enables near-invisibility, and a deadly “nullblade.” Known for his razor-sharp abilities, he disrupts Spire and Tangle systems alike to suit his own purposes. His dark humor and resourcefulness make him an unpredictable force, while his tenuous allegiance to Octavia underscores the dichotomy of his commitment to dismantling oppression and serving his own mysterious purposes.
Tyraxis is a disciplined and resolute Warspire operative, known for his tactical brilliance and unyielding loyalty to the Triocracy’s doctrine of strength and order. Hailing from Porarth Refuge, he rose through the ranks with a focus on endurance and strategy, becoming a formidable force within the Warspire. Though highly respected for his effectiveness, his blunt approach and disdain for bureaucracy often create tension with other factions. Tyraxis stands as a symbol of unwavering commitment to maintaining order across the Sphere.
Martos is a quiet, resilient figure in the Tangle, working as the sodium reclamation lead at Desalination Silo #19, where he ensures clean water production with patience and expertise. Shaped by years of labor and survival, he avoids conflict and attention, focusing on maintaining a fragile stability in his harsh environment. His bond with Taria, a medician, is his only source of solace, embodying his cautious hope for small moments of humanity in an oppressive world.
Taria is a compassionate and resourceful medician from the Eighth Circle of the Tangle, known for her unwavering dedication to healing her community despite scarce resources. Her makeshift medical supplies and iconic tattered coat embody her ingenuity and resilience. Beneath her calm demeanor lies a fierce anger toward the Spire for its systemic neglect, fueling her quiet defiance. With her empathy and hidden strength, Taria represents the spirit of the Tangle, intertwining kindness with rebellion.
Traze is a Senior Infocrat and overseer of the Preception Abstractor, one of the most influential roles in the Techspire, responsible for identifying and neutralizing “echos” that threaten the Triocracy. He’s deeply devoted to order and preservation, leveraging the advanced Oracle Interface to process massive data streams and predict disruptions. Traze’s sharp intellect and precise approach make him respected yet isolated, embodying the Techspire’s ideals while navigating its ethical gray zones.
