*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

 Iggy’s left arm crossed his face just in time to take the force of the hit in his forearm, consequently that shattered his bones. He screamed into the emptiness of the mountain range, and heard his pain return to him in the form of an echo. He balled his right hand into a fist and pulled the freezing energy out of himself and into his palm, something he should have already done. The black mist encircled his hand but froze the humid night air into a capsule of hard ice around his fist, but he made use of it and pounded it right into Derson’s face like a rock, throwing him over to his side. Iggy crawled out from where he was. He looked up at the front door and saw Pater and Firmin conversing through the window. 


 “Oh… look,” Firmin nodded toward the window. “They’re wrestling out there.” He caressed his chin with two fingers. “Who do you think will win?” 


 Pater tilted his head. “Derson, hands down.”
