Locations

• Abandoned Hospital
  Within the land commonly known as the "Mutant Fields" in Artavia is an old city lying abandoned by the Minister - and inhabited by something crueler. The mutated beasts that roam the streets are terrifying, but not as much so as the beast that has claimed an old hospital for his home. This beast is Thomas Dunn, and he has done his best to fix up the old hospital to make it usable for his purposes. The operating theater is sterilized and prepared, the morgue is once again icy cold, and the head office is once again inhabited.
• Sector IV, Dirys
  Tom has farmed Sector IV for potential "subjects" he can use in his ACACIA experiments. He chose those who needed medical attention that Sector IV doctors could not offer, and those who had little to go back home to.
• The SSPB
  Tom has developed a working relationship with the SSPB, and in particular its figurehead - Lord Markus Woodrow II. He is spending more time than expected with and around the SSPB.
• Muerte
  Tom may have created bad blood between himself and the dictator of Muerte by choosing the wrong time, for the wrong target.

People

• Acacia-BLUE
  This subject's real name was - or rather, is - Tehodis Kitai. The intent in capturing her was to control her interactions with fiancee Imperator Tristan Cowell, and weaken him for an Artavian attack. The project failed when her memory was almost completely wiped, but now Tom wants to get her - and the other subjects - back in order to continue his experiments.
  
  Tom rediscovered Tehodis on-board a ship sailed by Markus Woodrow II, and attempted to regain control of her. His attempts backfired, and he is now working with Woodrow to find her again. Tehodis Kitai
• Acacia-BLACK
  This subject's current name is Zechariah Vanros. He is a necromantic Kina who served a great military purpose during the original ACACIA experiments, and was the most important subject for Tom to get a hold of.
  
  Tom discovered him with Violet Macar's help, adopted by an upper echelon family known as the Vanros'. Tom was easily able to convince Zechariah to return to Artavia with him, but is having a somewhat harder time attempting to create firm control. Acacia-Black
• Acacia-GREEN
  Green has remained in Tom's control since the conclusion of Project ACACIA. He has essentially 'adopted' her, though experiments on her enough that she remains a subject more than a person. He teaches her what he can, until she becomes to get smarter than him. At those times, he resets her brain once more. Thanks to GREEN, Tom is certain he's perfected his work. Acacia-Green
• Acacia-WHITE
  White was released somewhere outside of Tom's knowledge, and he has been searching for her ever since. Much like Black, she holds a unique power that he views as vital to his plans...
  
  Tom came across White while attending an event in Muerte with Woodrow. He attempted to get close to her, but was sabotaged by Violet. He had to leave Woodrow to clean up the mess, and remains unsure where his control over White stands. Sabela
• Acacia-RED2
  Tom created RED2 as a replacement for his and Richard Abernathy's first project: ACACIA-RED. Red died, the only ACACIA to die in their care, which caused the end of the project. Tom hopes to make RED2 his greatest accomplishment. Scarlet Dunn
• Richard Abernathy
  Richard Abernathy was Tom's mentor in his youth, and founded Project ACACIA. Abernathy created the concept of the project, while Tom acted as the engineer and surgeon on the old man's behalf. After seeing the initial success of Red, Tom brought the project to the attention of higher-ups in the military, who saw it's potential use in the war. Without Richard Abernathy, there would likely be no Project ACACIA.
• Markus Woodrow
  An easy mark due to his hubris, Markus Woodrow is now contractually obliged to overlook any of Tom's wrongdoings from the beginning of their contract. Beyond that, Tom has manipulated Woodrow into believing that the two are quite good friends - and aims only to continue this manipulation in order to oust Woodrow's more suspicious connections.
  
  Woodrow discovered Tom's past bad dealings, and may plan to use them against Tom. In return, Tom seeks ways to better control and destroy Woodrow if the need should arise. Markus Woodrow
• Violet Macar
  Before he began searching for his old ACACIAs, Violet Macar was a reporter attempting to dig into the buried past of the Artavian government, and the ACACIA project. Her digging lead her to Tom, who used his charms to redirect her. He attempted to kill her once, which failed and backfired, so he has since tried to keep her close, and under his control. She even assisted in finding Zechariah (Black) for him.
  
  At Harel's party in Muerte, Violet got too close to the truth. Tom decided he needed to be rid of her, and RED2 assisted. Though he knows it isn't over until he sees a body, he feels confident that she is unlikely to survive in Elias Harel's form of imprisonment.
• Adria Tiira
  The General of the Artavian Military is well aware of Thomas' indiscretions when he was working under their umbrella. She is an old friend of Vincent's, and while she has no authority to do anything without harming her government, she can provide Vincent with information under the table.
• ACACIA-SKULL
  Previously known as Katerine Vexler. A pirate from the Defiled Grail captured by the SSPB, Katerine was shipped to Tom in order for him to implant her with his ACACIA device, for the purposes of serving the SSPB's desires.
• Relos Voden
  Relos' father was one of Tom's potential marks when he went to Dirys to farm subjects. Unfortunately for Tom, no matter the expense - Relos refused to let his father get 'help'. Tom's competitive spirit has left him wanting to prove himself to Relos, to show him that his father will suffer because of his distrust. Relos Voden
• The Vanros Family
  Taking Zechariah (BLACK) back was an easy decision for Tom. Less easy, is the fallout as the family he had been placed with seems less certain than he... Edgar Vanros Nicole Vanros Zota Vanros
• Vincent Laeretti
  Vincent is too clever for Tom's taste. Certainly he's fun, and Tom would enjoy shooting the shit with him... But he's also a threat. And threats need to be neutralized. Vincent is particularly in Tom's growing list of enemies due to his involvement in breaking Tehodis. Vincent Laeretti
• Kikuriku Gouken
  Tom has not yet met Kikuriku, but he would likely hate him. Kikuriku provided Green a pleasant day unrelated to Tom, that damaged her, in Tom's eyes, and required him to reset her implant. He then broke the control that Tom had over Tehodis. Having seen the wanted posters Woodrow had drawn up, Tom knows precisely who to keep an eye out for, now. Kikuriku Gouken
• Pelagia Xista
  Tom met Pelagia at Elias Harel's event in Muerte. He would be interested in meeting her again. Pelagia Xista
• Elias Harel
  Elias Harel now knows of, and is extremely interested in Thomas Dunn. Tom does not realize that ACACIA-WHITE works for Elias, and that his attempts at testing his control at the party were severely ill-advised. Elias Harel
• The Defiled Grail
  A natural enemy of the pirates for his alliances with Woodrow, Tom has one of the Grail's crew members under his control. The pirates have planned an attempted mission to get said crew member back.
