The four-man team.
The current roster is built around Pandora Sector's Unit 01: an elite Splicer strike team with the highest synchronization rates in service. All four canon characters operate inside this unit, which serves as the natural meeting point for new contributors writing scientists, support staff, or other specialists assigned to the team.
Obsidian dual katanas, Phase Step displacement, and a Heartseed sync rate of 96.9% that's already past the point of safe return. Stripped himself down to discipline and purpose after being forced to terminate his own infected brother during a failed mission. Externally stable, internally deteriorating.

Explosive Sync System, reckless charm, Surge worsening by the mission. Where Gabriel suppresses, Allen externalizes. He laughs through fights most people wouldn't survive, and the laugh isn't an act so much as a way of not slowing down long enough to remember the fiancée he failed to save.

Spear, glaive, short blade, anything sharp. Shion fights like he's moving through water, reading opponents before they commit. Calm, charming, and constantly watching. The mask is so well-practiced he's no longer sure what's underneath it. Brother to Raiden.

Long-range firearms, ballistic foresight, and the most stable sync rate in Unit 01 (90.95%) held together by sheer constant aggression. Loud, abrasive, and openly hostile to a {{user}} he used to be involved with. Brother to Shion. He'd say he doesn't care. He's lying.

In the existing roster, the default {{user}} is a scientist from Aether Bioworks, Echo Division, recently transferred into Pandora Sector and assigned to Unit 01 as their lead scientist. This is the shared anchor for current bots. New contributors can write toward this {{user}} or define their own, but keeping the scientist framing makes cross-bot continuity easier.
The roster is open.
New characters are welcome. If you're joining the collab, your character will be added here with a direct link to its JAI profile. Full submission instructions are on the join page.
