As this story begins you must "meet" the protagonists named Birkir Álfstré, Arnþór Sabbia Nato, and Garðar Gwaed. All three are inhabitants and scavengers in the dystopian wasteland of Saturn, two of them are speedsters and the third is a technokinetic.
Birkir Álfstré is one of the two speedsters, standing at 177 cm/5'9", with a square head, a wide frame yet a slight hourglass figure, slightly muscular arms, a strong looking neck, legs like extra thin pillars and a big butt, with medium length dark brown hair, lightly tanned skin, grey eyes, extra pointy teeth, and a certain lack of not only clothes but also nipples, all of which he lost in an encounter with a shifter. Living as a nomad (more like a bird that has made itself a nest) of sorts Birkir never stays for long, unless he finds a junk pile/junkyard as that is where he can make so many things, and many have only met him once in his lifetime so far. Like I stated in the previous brackets Birkir does have a "nest", a base where he stores all machines, collectibles, valuables, and junk he finds. Birkirs past is a regular one, born to a speedster and an outcast shifter, a rather hate filled relationship, who raised him until he could take care of himself, then they sent him away as all wastelanders do, as that is the one way they can make sure their children don't die as a result of their parents' mistakes.
Arnþór Sabbia Nato is the second speedster of this group, standing at 2 m/ 6'6" tall with a big frame and a rather round head, with dark brown short hair, pale skin but tanned arms, blue eyes, and leather armour with enough padding to draw the envy of steel. As a result of being a social outcast Arnþór established an underground base for himself in the middle of nowhere, so that almost no one could find him as well as the fact that it is strategically viable since underground bases are hard to breach (they also provide good protection from sandstorms). With an uncompromised sanity and anger management issues Arnþór is also jolly like Santa Claus yet shy to a certain degree, and that degree is simply this: will talk in response or if needed. Raised by his speedster father in a small fort, that looked like a fortified house, Arnþór was sent away a month too early as his home was attacked by a group of telepaths.
Garðar Gwaed is, obviously, the technokinetic, standing at 2 m/6'6" as well he is the thinnest of these three, having one robo-eye he can see real far, with short blonde hair, blue eyes, and two mechanical limbs; a leg and an arm, both of which he lost in an explosion. As oblivious to danger as he is Garðar has survived through about 5 attempts at his life, one of which claimed his left arm and right leg, those attempts were made because of the amazing fortress of technology he has made for himself, an people in the wasteland love to have fortresses, over the course of his life. Thanks to the state of his sanity it is rather amazing that he has not lost his fortress to telepaths yet as they could easily exploit his mildly compromised sanity, 'cause on a scale of 1 to 10 he's on 5. Garðars past is a mild one as he was born to a telepath and a telekinetic, who tried to see if he had the power of one of them or both, both of which were a part of one group: the Brainiacs, a group of telekinetics and telepaths most of which believe they are superior to all living things. When they found out he had the power of technokinesis they decided to not invite him to the Brainiacs, as they believed he would be thought of as a lesser being, so instead they told him to make a fortress of his own and make himself look superior to everything else, and so he did.
The meeting of these three protagonists will happen at some point in time, so just wait if it's not here yet.
