# Character State: ch-06
|
||||
|
||||
## Mira Vasquez
|
||||
Location: The Gilded Vault (Grand Ballroom), The Capital
|
||||
Physical: Severe sensory overstimulation; corset-induced restricted breathing; fingernail-sized mana-burn on right palm.
|
||||
Emotional: Violated and defiant; overwhelmed by the artificiality of the Imperial Court.
|
||||
Active obligations: Owes the High Inquisitor a demonstration of "compliance" (Ch06) — UNPAID.
|
||||
Open loops: [Mira/Dorian] The shared biological "echo" from the wine-tasting incident (Ch06) — UNRESOLVED.
|
||||
Known secrets: Discovered the Emperor’s "Accord" contains a hidden sub-clause for total mana-extraction — Dorian remains unaware.
|
||||
Arc: 60% — Shifted from internalizing her fear to weaponizing her proximity to Dorian as a tactical shield.
|
||||
Permanent: YES (Internalized the specific "Cold-Sick" frequency of Dorian’s magic to dampen Imperial dampeners).
|
||||
## Mira
|
||||
Location: The Gilded Vault, Imperial Capital
|
||||
Physical: Severe mana-exhaustion; spiritual "fraying" from the Soul-Bond; stable.
|
||||
Emotional: Defiant; mourning Kaelen with cold fury; politically isolated.
|
||||
Active obligations: Owes Dorian administrative cooperation (Ch01) -- UNPAID.
|
||||
Open loops: [Mira/Ministry] explaining the Arena collapse (Ch04) -- UNRESOLVED; [Mira/Dorian] stabilizing the Starfall (Ch02) -- UNRESOLVED.
|
||||
Known secrets: CARRIED (Ch03—unresolved): Knows she felt a "wild joy" during the sensory bleed -- Dorian does not know.
|
||||
Arc: 60% -- Transitioned from institutional leader to a political fugitive under the "Correction Clause."
|
||||
Permanent: YES (Soul-tether frequency has permanently shifted to a "Grey" resonance).
|
||||
|
||||
## Dorian Solas
|
||||
Location: The Gilded Vault (Grand Ballroom), The Capital
|
||||
Physical: Metabolic suppression due to Imperial lead-lined wards; trembling hands hidden by formal gloves.
|
||||
Emotional: Intellectually claustrophobic; protective of Mira beyond the requirements of the Accord.
|
||||
Active obligations: Owes the Ministry a full audit of Pyre Academy assets (Ch05) — UNPAID.
|
||||
Open loops: [Dorian/Malchor] The threat of "Correction" for his lack of discipline (Ch04) — UNRESOLVED.
|
||||
Known secrets: Realized the "Gilded Gala" is a ritual trap to bind their tether to the Throne — Mira remains unaware. CRITICAL SECRET: Found Accord Protocol Omega in the Library of Ash — reveals the Severance Key was used to execute his great-uncle Aldric Solas 50 years ago. He has pocketed the document. Mira sensed his emotional reaction but he refused to explain. This secret is UNRESOLVED and will drive his over-protective behavior in Ch07+.
|
||||
Arc: 65% — Abandoned his clinical distance to physically intercept a Ministry official for Mira's sake.
|
||||
Permanent: YES (Formally broke Spire protocol by utilizing "unrefined" kinetic heat to clear his own lung congestion).
|
||||
Location: The Gilded Vault, Imperial Capital
|
||||
Physical: Silver scarring on right arm; metabolic depletion; right hand thermal sensitivity.
|
||||
Emotional: Stoic but deeply shaken; protective of Mira over the Spire's safety.

||||

|
||||
Open loops: [Dorian/Mira] somatic threshold limits (Ch03) -- UNRESOLVED.
|
||||
Known secrets: CARRIED (Ch03—unresolved): Realized he finds Mira's chaos "fascinating" -- Mira does not know.
|
||||
Arc: 65% -- Formally defied the Imperial Ministry, abandoning his role as a "Rule-Follower" to protect the Union.
|
||||
Permanent: YES (Right arm shows permanent silver scarring from the Arena/Bond surge).
|
||||
|
||||
## Kaelen — DECEASED (Ch04)
|
||||
Established: Died during the stabilization of the Obsidian Bridge collapse when his mana-wells turned to steam.
|
||||
Legacy: His absence forced Mira into total administrative isolation, making her vulnerable to Malchor’s gala invitation.
|
||||
Established: Died bracing the Ash-Quarry Arena pylons against a magma breach.
|
||||
Legacy: His death serves as the primary radicalizing force for Mira against the Ministry.
|
||||
|
||||
## High Inquisitor Malchor
|
||||
Location: The Imperial Dais, The Gilded Vault
|
||||
Physical: No injuries; radiating an artificial, gold-hued mana-aura.

|
||||

|
||||
Open loops: [Malchor/Mira] The forced dance/interrogation (Ch06) — UNRESOLVED.
|
||||
Known secrets: Controls the frequency for the Severance Key — Dorian and Mira remain unaware.
|
||||
Arc: 15% — Positioned as the primary physical obstacle to the Union's autonomy.
|
||||
## Aric — DECEASED (Ch04)
|
||||
Established: Threw himself between Mira and a Starfall void bolt.
|
||||
Legacy: His sacrifice proved Ministry sabotage and turned Elara into a weaponized ally.

||||

||||
Active obligations: None.
|
||||
Open loops: [Elara/Ministry] seeking justice for Aric (Ch05) -- UNRESOLVED.
|
||||
Known secrets: CARRIED (guilt): Aric told her something was wrong with the arena node; she dismissed it.
|
||||
Arc: 45% -- Has taken up the mantle of student leader, bridging the gap between Spire logic and Pyre mourning.
|
||||
Permanent: NO
|
||||
