*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

 “Your eyes are as bright as the sun,” Firmin remarked. He took it a step further and clamped his palm onto the side of Iggy’s cheek. His thumb crossed over Iggy’s lower lip. He saw the extra sharps on the bottom of his jaw. He adored the extra pair, much like a kitten, he thought. “I remember,” he said, “my first time having vital fluid, too. It’s not forgotten easily.” He retracted his hand and returned to his seat. Then, he raised the glass to his own mouth. 


 “Vital fluid?” Iggy repeated. “Give me some more,” he leaned forward entitled, “now.” 


 “Mmmm…” Firmin savored the potion. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and said light heartedly, “this drink will clear you right up and make you amazingly strong, and so that’s why you’re cut off. I don’t want you phasing out, but I need you weak enough so that the ropes will still hold you.”
