The Cast
PROTAGONIST
JULIUS BULTORDY
Inspired by Erzsébet Báthory and her infamous history with blood, Julius Bultordy carries blood structured in Quintuple Helixes through his veins. With that blood and his team, he thought the rescue and reversal of the mutation would be simple. Of course, he got it all wrong.
“Never in a million years would anyone have guessed the experiment’s true purpose.”
AARON DAEND
Aaron’s transformation only manifests while he sleeps. Despite his unsettling form, he is fiercely protective. To his sisters, Aaron is their shield and armor, always placing himself between them and anything that means them harm.
“Lately, my sister seems jumpy around me. I wonder if my mutation is starting to scare her.”
RIEL & ROSALIE XAXANDRIA
Left in the care of Rupert Rich, the girls became like family to the Richs and the Drors.
“Sal has created some of the best cake recipes. Now she’s trying to replicate that mysterious beverage, but something’s still missing. I wonder what the secret ingredient could be.”
“Riel’s optimism has a way of rubbing off on everyone around her.”
​
PULSE RICH
At sixteen, Pulse Rich has a sharp eye for the things most people overlook. Smart, observant, and fascinated by AI, he has a habit of noticing the smallest clues and asking the questions no one else thought to ask.
“Look again, Vigil. There’s got to be something there.”
NEVERIE DAEND
Neverie is the eldest of the Daend siblings, a loving sister trying to cope with her newly developed phobia.
“I never thought a mutation could make me feel a little offended.”
VELYRIE DAEND
Velyrie is the bubbly youngest of the Daend siblings, developing gene-editing tools alongside a family friend. She adores her test animals and gives them names that make Aaron shake his head and sigh. Just don’t expect her to handle the sight or smell of blood.
“Hmm... would Jiggly Gel suit you better than Goldfish Head?”
