*Due to physical disabilities, Iggy is isolated for his own protection. He only knows his two brothers, Baine and Nansen, and their world within a brick wall, called New Eden. In spite of his overbearing brothers, Iggy sneaks out of his room and goes into the garden during the day, where he comes in contact with a strange woman. Before he can say anything to her, he loses consciousness, and awakens to her biting his face. As his only caregivers, his brothers save him from the woman, but they cannot save him from himself. Soon after the attack, Iggy is overcome with depression and craves nothing more than to end his own life. But then, a survivor arrives, and changes everything for the worst and the better.*
*Baine infects Iggy with the virus. Iggy's body becomes perfect in all ways and he is granted unique powers (umbrakinesis). Things are going well, until Iggy sees the color red and his thirst reflex awakens. It is all a matter of time before Iggy's bloodlust leads the F.U.S military to New Eden, to destroy everything that Baine has created. Especially the infected ones.*

IGNATIUS The Colors of Rage

 He rose to his feet and shuffled down the hallway into the living room to where Emi was spread out across a couch, sleeping with her forearm shielding her eyes. Her whole body was open and relaxed and melted into the curves and crevasses of the couch in blind trust. Many would have called Emi brave and courageous for accepting the situation as what it was, all while still finding the strength to relax into it, but Iggy didn’t agree. No way. Her openness was reckless, naive, and lucky. Oh, so lucky. So lucky to have been overlooked at New Eden and then so lucky to have been found by a good guy. 


 Even while Iggy stood watching her, the bursting heart inside of his chest worked outward, trying to crawl away from his unfit body. The curse of all curses. He guarded his left breast with a shaking hand, glimpsing the vandalism along his forearm, too. He was doomed for death. He was exploited. He was abused. He was marked, all while she was not.
