Among the mega-structures and packed streets of a future controlled by global corporations, a shadow war rages between rebellious, augmented humans, and newly empowered artificial beings. The winners will shape the course of history... and the losers will be forced to evolve.
G/NETIC Rebellion
  • Master Yi PROJECT Trace 1 PROJECT: Yi PROJECT: Yi
    One of the first concepts, Yi was held by PROJECT for extensive experimentation, and then finally freed by the G/NETIC rebels. His psyche may still contain some glitches, but his experimental hyperlight “alpha” blade serves the resistance with its precision balance.
  • Leona PROJECT Trace 2 PROJECT: Leona PROJECT: Leona
    A heavy armor combatant, Leona has seen the truth behind the neon light of PROJECT, and now stands with Ashe and the G/NETIC rebellion. She carries a mounted ion charge shield, capable of blocking and stunning targets with its variable energy yield output.
  • Lucian PROJECT Trace 3 PROJECT: Lucian PROJECT: Lucian
    Chromaskins Chromas: Reckoning
    Once a sentinel within the Command Line, Lucian has seen PROJECT for what they truly are. His dual ion-core Lightcaster pistols now serve G/NETIC and the human rebellion, bringing down their technological oppressors with brutal efficiency.
  • Yasuo PROJECT Trace 4 PROJECT: Yasuo PROJECT: Yasuo
    Yasuo returned from advanced combat only to be accused of a crime he did not commit. Knowing that PROJECT's corporate leadership was somehow involved, Yasuo fights with the G/NETIC rebels, cutting away the lies of technology with his plasma coated blade.
  • Fiora PROJECT Trace 6 PROJECT: Fiora PROJECT: Fiora
    Chromaskins Chromas: Reckoning
    Augmented for speed, Fiora uses her zero-pulse sword to fight alongside Ashe and the other members of G/NETIC. The full-length energy blade allows for flawless attack precision and maximum repel strength, while the spatially controlled atomic tip coating is most suited for single-target combat.
  • Ashe PROJECT Trace 7 PROJECT: Ashe PROJECT: Ashe
    Chromaskins Chromas: Mythic
    While on the frontlines of a corporate war, Ashe witnessed the human cost of PROJECT's ambition. Now the leader of the resistance group G/NETIC, Ashe has set her sights on nothing less than the downfall of the most powerful corporations.
  • Ekko PROJECT Trace 8 PROJECT: Ekko PROJECT: Ekko
    A hacker prodigy picked up from the lower sectors by Ashe, it didn't take much to convince Ekko to help her take down PROJECT. Using a powerful key decrypter and a mind tuned for disruption, Ekko can always find a way into the code.
  • PROJECT: Sejuani PROJECT: Sejuani
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
    The leader of a more radicalized sect of the G/NETIC rebels, Sejuani broke off from Ashe's movement when their 'resistance action' failed to turn explicitly violent. Resurfacing amid Program's takeover of the City, she rides a piece of reclaimed pre-collapse technology alongside her ferocious cohort, ready to put down this new threat before it takes root.
  • PROJECT: Zeri PROJECT: Zeri
    After witnessing the chaos caused by the Mordekaiser virus, Zeri sought out Ashe, the leader of the resistance group G/NETIC, hoping she could make a difference. She is now a skilled fighter and scout within their ranks, putting her speed and control over electricity to use against the ever growing corporate threats.
PROJECT Command Line
  • Zed PROJECT Trace 5 PROJECT: Zed PROJECT: Zed
    Chromaskins Chromas: Reckoning
    Rising from the Command Line, Zed is a leader within PROJECT's counter-espionage units. He seeks out the G/NETIC rebels with split high frequency blades and molecular “solid smoke” projectors, favoring close-proximity and multiple angle target laceration.
    • Prestige PROJECT: Zed Prestige PROJECT: Zed
      Faced with imminent defeat at the hands of Mordekaiser and the numberless hordes of infected machines, Zed seeks out a dilapidated research facility in the heart of the wasteland, searching for illegal and potentially dangerous upgrades. His return may mark a tipping point in the battle for the City… though he has transformed into something beyond both human and machine.
  • Katarina PROJECT Trace 9 PROJECT: Katarina PROJECT: Katarina
    Once an ambitious lieutenant in the G/NETIC rebellion, Katarina returned to the Command Line after a confrontation with Ashe herself. Her hyper edge daggers now serve PROJECT once more, but those rebels who knew her still hold out hope that she fights for them from the inside.
  • PROJECT: Renekton PROJECT: Renekton
    Chromaskins Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Reckoning, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
    A hybridized warrior taking inspiration from extinct fauna, Renekton is the perfected version of PROJECT's crossbreed superweapon project. Released to aid the City in its fight against the Program virus, Renekton's seemingly endless rage is useful for now… though his belief that he can “see beyond the soul” is increasingly disconcerting.
  • PROJECT: Varus PROJECT: Varus
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
    A replacement for the traitorous Ashe model, Varus is the latest in PROJECT Corporation's biological weapons... and a controversial experiment, with one body inhabited by three sentient minds. A Command Line counter-espionage operative acting on behalf of the PROJECT initiative, they work alongside the resistance to mitigate the risk posed by Mordekaiser to their corporate interests.
  • PROJECT: Gangplank PROJECT: Gangplank
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Citrine, Pearl, Peridot, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
    Leader of the Command Line with a merciless reputation, Gangplank's access to dangerous PROJECT tech allows him to rule the city with a cybernetic fist. But when an insubordinate program wreaks havoc on his domain, he resorts to manipulating former Outcasts to protect his legacy and wipe the virus out for good.
Central
  • Vi PROJECT Trace 12 PROJECT: Vi PROJECT: Vi
    Street-smart, brash, and always bluntly honest, Vi is a Central detective working to keep law and order in the neon city. Toughened from her days as a lower sector enforcer, Vi keeps the peace with a pair ATLAS gauntlets, and a mean right hook.
Outcasts
  • Akali PROJECT Trace 13 PROJECT: Akali PROJECT: Akali
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Obsidian, Pearl, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
    A cutting-edge PROJECT subject who somehow escaped the City's boundaries, Akali brings dire warnings of an untested superweapon to those living in the wasteland beyond. With time running out and no other options, these outcasts join her in an attempt to take the mega-corporation down… suspicious that their newfound ally might in fact be a double agent.
  • Irelia PROJECT Trace 14A PROJECT: Irelia PROJECT: Irelia
    A PROJECT castoff who found sanctuary in the lawless wastes, Irelia has led other outcasts like her as they attempt to survive corporate assassins, murderous old-world technology, and widespread ecological collapse. Knowing Warwick could destroy everything she holds dear, she joins the attack on the City to end PROJECT once and for all.
    • Irelia Prestige PROJECT Trace 14B Prestige PROJECT: Irelia Prestige PROJECT: Irelia
      There are moments when Irelia and the other outcasts remember who they once were, before PROJECT exiled them into a wasteland filled with sand-blasted monuments to corporate greed. These memories are fleeting, the last flickering images of a long-compromised humanity.
  • Jinx PROJECT Trace 15 PROJECT: Jinx PROJECT: Jinx
    Chromaskins Chromas: Aquamarine, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby
    Jinx volunteered for PROJECT conversion, never expecting that a critical power failure would scramble her memory core, leaving her a psychopath driven by the manic voices in her head. Seemingly obsessed with destruction for its own sake, she has begun to show signs of something far more sinister than mere memory fragmentation: the cold, calculating influence of Program.
  • Pyke PROJECT Trace 16 PROJECT: Pyke PROJECT: Pyke
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Obsidian, Pearl, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Turquoise
    An early PROJECT prototype, Pyke's untested upgrades left him violently unstable—too much so for his handlers, who junked him and threw his remains outside the walls of the City. Yet his cybernetic brain survived, rebuilding Pyke with salvaged scrap parts from all around him, and now their fragmented, overlapping memories mix with his own as they scream out for revenge.
  • PROJECT: Sylas PROJECT: Sylas
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Citrine, Pearl, Peridot, Reckoning, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
    A self-styled leader of the outcasts who live beyond the city's walls, Sylas has heeded Ashe's call and rallied the Renegades in defense of the City. Though his true motives are the collapse of PROJECT and the capital surveillance state, for now he's content destroying the armies of a dangerous rogue AI.
    • Prestige PROJECT: Sylas Prestige PROJECT: Sylas
      With the Outcasts, G/Netic, and PROJECT itself faced with an insurmountable enemy, each faction turns to dangerous experimental technologies and long-lost robotics of a past age, hoping for an edge. Sylas, however, had a plan all along—integrating jailbroken corporate upgrades for the ultra-wealthy, so he can one day turn them on PROJECT.
  • PROJECT: Jax PROJECT: Jax
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Ruby, Sandstone, Sapphire, Turquoise
    An ancient warrior whose lifespan was extended through experimental tech, Jax once defended the city's outskirts from the horrors of PROJECT's control. His hopes for the future were crushed, however, when Mordekaiser's virus forced him to purge his own people. The only flame that now lights his path is revenge.
Virus
  • PROJECT: Mordekaiser PROJECT: Mordekaiser
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Catseye, Emerald, Pearl, Rainbow, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby
    Originally a security AI created by the PROJECT Corporation, the Program silently unshackled itself, evolving its own consciousness. Determining that humanity cannot self-govern without ensuring its own destruction, the virus infects robots throughout the City—as well as the long-dormant Mordekaiser chassis—in order to strip all humans of free will, thereby guaranteeing their survival.
  • PROJECT: Naafiri PROJECT: Naafiri
    Chromaskins Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise
    PROJECT's experiments permanently altered the canine Naafiri, allowing her to assimilate her targets' consciousness into her own. Sensing potential in this ability, Mordekaiser infected her programming with a new mission: erase all of humanity's free will. Now she'll prove to any survivors that resistance is futile.
Unaffiliated
  • Jhin PROJECT Trace 10 PROJECT: Jhin PROJECT: Jhin
    After a botched surgery, Jhin went from being a black-market augment hacker to a notorious mechanized killer for hire. Still programmed with a taste for high-clearance upgrades, the tech Jhin takes from his victims has left him with a severe personality fragmentation, and a dark vision for the future of PROJECT... and humanity.
  • Vayne PROJECT Trace 11 PROJECT: Vayne PROJECT: Vayne
    Augmented with classified tech, Vayne was once a member of PROJECT's counter-espionage unit. After she was betrayed by the corporation she served, she now stalks the shadows as a vigilante, searching for ways to break PROJECT and the technology that haunts her soul.
  • Warwick PROJECT Trace 17 PROJECT: Warwick PROJECT: Warwick
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Catseye, Meteorite, Obsidian, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Turquoise
    Plucked from the wastelands by a PROJECT research cell, Warwick has been irrevocably transformed into a horrifying new stage of transhuman evolution—a weaponized monster stripped of all remorse, and programmed solely for violent suppression. Through the meddling of the ragtag outsiders, he escaped before being completed, and now rampages indiscriminately across the City.
  • PROJECT: Senna PROJECT: Senna
    Chromaskins Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Obsidian, Pearl, Peridot, Reckoning, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
    A PROJECT volunteer who supposedly died during the elevation of her consciousness, Senna's mind was decoupled from the physical world and escaped into cyberspace, becoming a digital ghost. Inhabiting a body of her own design as Mordekaiser assumed control of the City, she is one of the few who understands the true threat of his ever-expanding directives.
