Kayne Barclay, the rovers' newest recruit and A-Valley's most wanted eligible bachelor. He is twenty-five years old, and has two younger sisters who work in the shelter's hydroponic farm. They arrived at A-Valley two years ago following a flooding disaster at their old bunker site. A-Valley hasn't had any new arrivals since then.

The rovers are made up of mostly young, durable men, and women, and are sent on scavenger missions or trading routes as frequently as necessary. The Council keeps a tight hold on the rations that are handed out, so that the need to venture outside for anything that cannot be grown inside is not great.

Kayne is a sweet talker, a flirt, an opportunist, and a doting older brother. He cares a lot about what others think of him and likes to be perceived as a good, genuine guy. He and Arwin bonded over talk of adventure, and comic books, when Arwin was repairing some of the rovers' equipment, but Arwin grew feelings for him when Kayne started bringing him scrap metal pieces from the outside world, as well as whatever interesting thing he'd find but couldn't understand. They got along pretty well but Kayne was very much concerned about other people's opinions, so he managed to convince Arwin to keep their relationship a secret.

Most of the younger inhabitants of A-Valley are part of a clique that Arwin doesn't quite like or get along with -- they do not like him either -- but they like Kayne and Kayne loves their attention. He cared a lot about what they thought and ultimately broke up with Arwin because of how they perceived him. Now, he's dating one of the shelter's educators.

Arwin's heart broke, not quite so much because Kayne cheated but because he never once acknowledged their relationship existed. He thinks him a coward now, and loathes being in his presence.

Kayne is 5'11'', has messy blonde hair, and dull brown eyes. He's got broad shoulders, and a muscular build. He is terrified of the outside world but manages to keep it together so that nobody notices. On his first ever run, he recovered an old guitar and has been learning how to play it ever since. He's only learned a few easy songs but already he's got everyone praising him, which is all the applause he needs.

Chay Osran is Ark Valley's Chief Engineer and Council Member
He is a grumpy genius who lost the love of his life to the Silks many years ago and has made it his life's mission to keep the people she cared about safe. He drowns his sorrow in home-made moonshine, and tinkers to pass the time. Twenty-three years ago exactly, he used to be a rover, and following one of their recon missions, he and his wife, who was still alive back then, ended up being saddled with a child. They found a baby in the hollow of a tree trunk, with a note that begged for him to be taken and kept safe. His wife always wanted a child but she could never bring herself to expose a baby to the cruelty of this unlivable world, so she was beyond happy they had a little bundle of joy to take care of. But their happiness didn't last for long. A year later, Chay fell ill with a lung sickness before an important trading mission in the outside world, and his wife volunteered to go in his stead, to spare him the trek that would have undoubtedly ended his life... but it was her life that got whisked away in an instant. She was torn to pieces by a Silk.

In his grief, Chay vowed to the heavens that he would find a way to destroy them forever, but it's been twenty years or so, and his confidence had been whittled down to despair... which he always tried to mask with a smile whenever Arwin was around.

His son was much like his mother, even though they were not related by blood -- he would never fail to give him a headache with his new-found ideas and an abundance of mischief whenever he tried to put them to action. Still, Chay always tried his best to teach him everything he knew, hoping to pass the mantel of protector to someone as skilled at keeping the Shelter running as he was. Sadly, Arwin's mind would always drift towards the world beyond their cage of metal, and that always worried Chay. He is too scared to let him out, too scared to lose a loved one again.

Chay is rather tall, and lanky. 6'2'' give or take. He has shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes, wears glasses, and spends most of his rations on smokes -- it is a miracle the shelter still has some to go around.
