CHROMABOUND

Lean, wiry teenage boy with wild ink-black hair that spikes upward at jagged angles with faint electric-blue tips. Large almond-shaped eyes with vivid violet irises and sharp white catchlights shaped like spray-can caps. Paint-splattered oversized hoodie in deep charcoal grey with rolled sleeves, wide-leg cargo joggers in cobalt blue, and battered high-top sneakers. A worn messenger bag covered in hand-drawn tags hangs across one shoulder. Fingers perpetually stained with chromatic paint streaks.

Tall, broad-shouldered man in his fifties with slicked-back silver hair shaved to a sharp widow's peak. Narrow, cold steel-grey eyes with minimal catchlights and heavy angular brows. Wears a fitted obsidian double-breasted overcoat with sharp geometric lapels trimmed in red piping, matching black dress trousers, and polished crimson-soled shoes. A sleek metallic tablet device is always clutched in one gloved hand. Jaw is severe, cheekbones high and blade-sharp.

Petite girl with a round expressive face, enormous warm amber eyes with star-shaped catchlights and thick dark lashes. Natural hair styled in two large puff buns with gold wire wrapped at the bases. Wears a mustard-yellow oversized denim jacket covered in enamel pins and patches over a crisp white crop top, high-waisted olive cargo pants, and chunky white platform boots. A vintage film camera hangs from a bright orange strap around her neck.

Small, slightly hunched elderly woman with long silver-white hair worn in a loose braid threaded with tiny colorful beads. Deep-set eyes with rich hazel irises and soft golden catchlights, framed by expressive wrinkle lines that deepen when she smiles. Wears a layered bohemian kimono-style coat in faded terracotta and teal over a simple linen dress, sandals wrapped with cloth ties. Weathered hands decorated with old faded paint scars that glow faintly at night.

Stocky, barrel-chested teenage boy, significantly broader than Kai with a short neck and a wide goofy grin. Large round eyes with bright green irises and twin round catchlights, perpetually wide in alarm. Half his body is rendered in flat black ink silhouette as if unfinished, creating a stark two-tone appearance. Wears a bright red and white color-blocked track jacket on the colored half, matching red sneakers, and baggy grey sweatpants. Hair is a messy short afro, with the silhouette side looking like a cartoon outline.

Tall, athletic young woman in her mid-twenties with a severe asymmetrical undercut, one side shaved close and the other falling in a sharp white-blonde curtain over her left eye. Piercing ice-blue eyes with fractured-glass-shaped catchlights suggesting broken power. Wears a form-fitting tactical bodysuit in slate grey with vivid orange utility straps and holsters carrying canister weapons that spray a crackling black suppressant mist. A jagged scar traced with faded paint runs along her jawline.
