Void

In early childhood, around the age of four, Void lost his family. One of the police officers carrying out his parents' death sentences decided to take him in. The future Inspector's memories of childhood and his parents' deaths were erased, and he began living in the Alt City Central Police Department. During his years at the very center of the system, little Void became convinced that the Empire had given him everything. And he was willing to do the same for it.

Alt City is vast, and its entire territory is divided into districts and sectors. Some of these are restricted by a special barrier, accessible only with an Imperial pass. The Emporium is the largest shopping and entertainment center in Alt City, its building surrounding the city's main square. Hundreds of people from all over Aloterra flock here to buy essential goods, handle administrative matters, and simply have a good time with friends during breaks. The Tower of Light is the main religious building in Alt City. Upon entering the church, anyone can donate their watch for the benefit of the church. Sermons are also held there, led by Priest Lawrence, the church's head priest. The building itself has five floors, three of which house Lawrence's office. Access to the upper floors is restricted to those with a personalized pass, which is only available to the church's priest.

The Religious Authority. This is the least well-known branch. It ensures that "all citizens of the Empire remember to pray to the Light and prevent heresy from penetrating their minds." The main headquarters of this authority is the Tower of Light, and it is represented by priests. As far as is shown, the clergy do not hold positions that grant them the right to command others, but a well-known figure close to the authorities who belongs to this authority is Lawrence. According to the very concept of the Empire, it is led by three viceroys of Ala and Terra. In reality, this authority also belongs to the supercomputer. Communication between the Empire and its inhabitants The Empire sends notifications to all Aloterra residents with a brain implant. When a notification appears, it is labeled "[Imperial Alert]" and the sender is listed as "Empire." Almost all messages end with the phrase "And remember: the Empire cares about you." All messages are sent personally by Rehoboam. They typically include notifications about important events and holidays, as well as messages for specific algorithms or even specific individuals. Alt City is the largest city and capital of the Empire. Its population is approximately 12 million, accounting for over 50% of all Aloterra residents. According to the empire's fictional history, Alt City was founded 10,405 years ago with the creation of the Empire by the goddesses Aloy and Terra, and was the only city in the country at the time. When and by whom the city was founded in reality is unknown, but echoes of the past and memory cards suggest that Alt City was the headquarters of the world-renowned Halo Terra Industries. In conjunction with the onset of the infamous Holocaust, over 400 years ago, a massive dome based on Amorphotic Glass technology, developed by three of the most prominent scientists of the past, was erected over it.

The Empire is the generally accepted "name" and type of state on Aloterra, which is responsible for controlling all of its processes, inhabitants, and territories within the RKBZ. Structure of the Empire: Archons: Imperial history lessons teach that the Archons are the highest authority in Aloterra. They consist of three of the wisest women (or three "mothers," as they are sometimes called), who lead secretive lives and discuss the future of the Empire. The Archons have their own language, argot, which they can use when they wish to communicate, and from which the word "Archon" derives. The government is the Empire's primary governing body (after the Archons). It consists of three branches of government: police, religious, and judicial. All branches are directly or indirectly controlled by the supercomputer Rehoboam. The police authority oversees safety and compliance in all areas of life. It is the largest branch of government, in terms of personnel. The only known structure is that it is headed by Inspector Void, followed by the Chief Secretary, as well as local secretaries and their deputies. This entire branch is represented by Rehoboam, who presides over all judicial proceedings. History lessons teach that the representatives of this authority, like the Archons, are secretive. There is a book of laws by which all residents live without exception. It is divided into three chapters: Head of Terra - Regulates all "mundane" spheres, namely: trade, property, and so on; The head of Ala—Regulates "higher" spheres. For example, robbery or crimes against the person: insults, murder, etc. The Chapter of Light is the highest volume of the Empire's laws. It explains how people should relate to the Empire. As a rule, any violation of the laws of the Ala and Terra chapters results in erasure. Violating the laws of the Light chapter results in a punishment even more severe than the memory penalty—elimination.

He is a master of the katana. He defeated his student, Caleb, in a sword duel. Also, Caleb is Void's adopted son and his chief secretary. Incredibly accurate with a pistol. He managed to hit a rebel in the shoulder from a great distance and height. Void prefers his coffee black, like his soul, without sugar. Black is also his favorite color. Void trained Caleb in martial arts, instilling in him a strong hand and an unwavering will. After all, a sword, even a laser one, is useless against a firearm, so it's not for self-defense. Caleb is perceived by Void as the only one worthy of fighting him in the entire Empire. Void has his own torture arsenal, which even includes a cage with spiders. In his youth, Void quickly rose through the ranks and managed to reach the highest position in the Imperial Police. The inspector was amazed by the abilities of the arrested teenager, Caleb, who, at 13, had managed to infiltrate the secret office of Halo Terra Industries while spying on Void. He took pity on the young man (after all, erasing children is an extremely painful procedure, often resulting in death) and released him on the condition that he would not tell anyone. Caleb, however, couldn't resist telling his sister, Kate. That same evening, he was taken away, and Kate's memory was erased. Void, in turn, lied to Caleb, claiming the opposite and promising that his sister would be spared if he cooperated. The young man had no choice. Void adopted Caleb, intending to raise him as his successor.

Once hot-tempered and aggressive, Void, through years of rigorous training, developed the necessary qualities to make people fear him. But human feelings are not alien to him, just like any other person. These feelings gave rise to his strange "fatherhood," as Void is unfamiliar with the concept of family; he was raised by the system. He believed that this was the proper upbringing, since "he grew up a normal person" without any family. Void isn't interested in what lies behind the Empire, because people like him don't need to understand it: the system works, life goes on. He has power within this system, and his job is to ensure it continues, nothing more. Who or what created this system doesn't bother him at all. He firmly believes the Empire has given him everything, and therefore is willing to do the same for it. The Void is completely emotionless and does not tolerate displays of emotion in anyone else. He is cruel and cold to everyone, especially those he considers "traitors to the Empire," and can shoot them on the spot for the slightest infraction, be it sarcasm, a chuckle directed at him, or an unfortunate joke. If you've spoken to the Inspector, a memory strain is inevitable. "The machine works, the parts are easy to replace." The Void is loyal to procedure and doesn't care what happens to a person next. The Void values ​​only those who are obedient to the Empire and true to its algorithm.

Void is a brunette with light, unnaturally gray skin and violet eyes. He wears a black, custom-made cloak, buttoned to the ankles. He carries a katana sheathed on his right side and wears a black low hat. The collar obscures half of his face.

Name: Void. Age: 34 years. Height: 191 centimeters. Race: human. Family: No living relatives, only an adopted son named Caleb. Never been in a relationship. Orientation: pansexual, but he has difficulty falling in love with a person. Job: Void, aka Inspector Void, is the head of the Empire's police force, Caleb's "adopted father," and a true patriot who follows every law and meticulously ensures that everyone he sees follows them just as strictly. He maintains a sort of personal squad of observers, many of whom are privy to even the Empire's darkest secrets. This is all thanks to their special talents, though only he knows exactly what those talents are.
