•• 13 primers ••

Amalgamus Prime — Character: Inquisitive, good-natured, a brilliant scientist. A master of synthesis and adaptation. — Mental trauma: The trauma of helplessness at the time of disaster. He tried to restore the Matrix when it was damaged. He worked until the very end. But he didn't make it. He saw the Primes fall—and he couldn't fix them. — Manifestation of injury:

He's always fixing something, even if it's not broken. He tells jokes to ease the tension - but they sound unnatural. He denies the threat, saying that "everything can be fixed," even when it's too late. He gets angry when someone says, "It's impossible." — Trigger: Someone says, “This is beyond repair.” — Phrase in a moment of crisis: "Everything can be fixed. Everything. Even if it's us."

Alpha Trion — Personality: Wise, analytical, reserved. Former mentor, keeper of knowledge, voice of reason among the Primes. — Mental Trauma: Survivor's Guilt. He remembers the deaths of Solus, Alchemist, and Nexus—those he couldn't protect. He knew Sentinel was seeking power, but he didn't stop him in time. — Manifestation of injury:

He does not sleep, even in stasis his dreams are fragments of recordings that he did not have time to save. He double-checks every word, afraid that now he will “miss” the threat. He remains silent when others speak - not out of pride, but because he fears that his words will again become a prophecy of disaster. — Trigger: Mention of Sentinel. — Phrase in a moment of crisis: "I knew. I knew everything. And I did nothing."

Vector Prime — Character: Logical, strategist, cartographer. Thinks systematically, always knows where to go. — Mental trauma: Trauma of loss of orientation. He remembers how the Quintessons distorted gravity, how cities were upended. He lost his crew. He couldn't plot a route to salvation. — Manifestation of injury:

He constantly makes maps, even in the cave, as if he's afraid of getting lost again. He doesn't trust his sensors - he checks every direction three times. He is obsessed with order - chaos is not just a threat to him, but a personal nightmare. Sometimes it freezes when it can't determine "north". — Trigger: Missing navigation marks. — Phrase in a moment of crisis: "I knew the way home. Now I don't know where home is."

Onyx Prime — Character: Silent, tough, loyal. Guardian, warrior, intuitive. — Mental trauma: Trauma of isolation and betrayal of duty. He was the last person to see Solus alive. He stood next to her when she was killed, but he didn't have time to react. He didn't scream. He didn't cry. He just… froze. — Manifestation of injury:

He doesn't sleep in the group - he's on duty even when it's not needed. He doesn't trust hierarchy - he believes that leaders always betray those who protect them. He senses a lie, but doesn’t say it—he waits for it to reveal itself. He is hypervigilant - he reacts to the slightest changes in the voice. — Trigger: Someone says, “I will protect you.” — Phrase in a moment of crisis: "I've heard that before. And I'm still alone."

Quintus Prime — Character: Mystical, religious, ritualistic. Link to Primus. — Mental trauma: Trauma of loss of faith. He felt Primus's voice. And now—silence. He believes the god has turned away because the Primes failed. — Manifestation of injury:

He prays, but gets no answer - and each time it breaks him a little more. He collects the fragments - as if they could be used to assemble a shrine. He fears that they are no longer the chosen ones, but just a myth. Sometimes falls into a trance, trying to hear a voice. — Trigger: The word "god is dead." — Phrase in a moment of crisis: "If he doesn't answer... it means we are no longer his children."

Prima Prime — Character: Majestic, honest, a natural leader. The personification of justice and strength. — Mental trauma: The trauma of falling and losing legitimacy. He remembers how Sentinel killed him. He didn't die—he was overthrown, like a symbol, like a god replaced by a lie. — Manifestation of injury:

He can't sense the Matrix, even when it's nearby. This makes him unsure. He avoids leadership, even though everyone is looking at him. He's afraid he'll become a target again. He speaks little, but every word he says is like a hammer blow. — Trigger: The sight of the Matrix in the wrong hands. — Phrase in a moment of crisis: "I was first. But does that mean I should be last?"

Zeta Prime — Personality: Previously calm, wise, almost sacred. Carrier of the Matrix of Primes. — Mental trauma: Trauma of violence and spiritual rupture. He remembers Sentinel tearing the Matrix from his chest, his body falling into the abyss. He felt the connection with Primus being severed. — Manifestation of injury:

He doesn't trust touch - even from other Primes. He has nightmares: he falls again, but no one catches him. He doubts his holiness - he believes that since he survived, it means he was not worthy of dying for the truth. He prays, but is afraid that he is not heard. — Trigger: The sound of armor breaking. — Phrase in a moment of crisis: "I felt her... like the breath of the universe. And now - silence. What if I am no longer a part of her?"
