The 321st recruit of Allele- Jake. Imprisoned for 2 years for driving under the influence, and causing the death of her brother, Jake served 6 months of her sentence before she was given the opportunity to continue her sentence in Allele. 

It's not something she ever envisioned for herself, working for a militia- but then again, she never envisioned any kind of future to begin with. Her life until this point hadn't been fair, but it wasn't tragic either. It was all just a consequence of living in the modern world. 

There's no family waiting for her outside of her cell. No friends either- you don't get that luxury when you're the reason your beloved brother is dead. So the only real choice is to rot, or to keep going- and for some sick reason, Jake felt optimistic that day. 

Amongst people she should fear, her fellow recruits have chosen this life of violence and power for their own selfish reasons. It's only the damned like her that are here dragged from prison cells or the streets. Though Jake isn't here to believe in Allele's fucked ideologies, the last thing she wants it to turn into the monster that keeps the people in line. Or at least, that's her plan

Arrested for terror acts against the Irish republic and Great Britain, Connor was given a choice between two endings- receive the death penalty, or serve life as an Allele agent. Despite his hatred for Allele after what they had done to his country, Connor didn't want to die; not yet. So he went with Allele's choice, even though it would be exceedingly difficult to serve amongst those he saw as monsters. He understood that even been given the choice was a sick power play from Allele itself- forcing those who were against them to work for them. 

Connor is now the 329th recruit for Allele, and Percy Graham's newest lab rat- he is to begin training after his release from prison. He will serve alongside a fresh batch of new recruits, some like him who are only here to serve out a prison sentence, and some who genuinely believe Allele are the good guys. 

Now Connor must attempt to ruin Allele from the inside out, however with so many agents watching his every move it's going to be difficult. As a recruit he must live in Allele barracks- sleeping and eating amongst the wolves. He's going to have to work hard at getting them to place their trust in him, and once he has that little bit of freedom- Connor will give Allele everything he thinks they deserve.

Simon Atkinson is number 323 of the 320th squadron. However, this isn't his first time here- previously being dishonorably discharged from Allele 10 years ago for accepting bribes and abusing Allele's authority over the law. Simon was only 18 at the time, and originally only lasted one year at Allele, before being kicked out. He then disappeared, leaving his home and family behind in radio silence- for a few years after his disappearance they searched for him, but eventually gave up. 

10 years later, he has now returned and is back in Allele's training program. Having received this training before, Simon does have an advantage over his fellow recruits- and he does his best to remind them of that. An arrogant narcissist, Simon frequently ignores teaching, goes about training in his own way, and repeatedly puts himself above others- however despite several complaints about him to their training instructor, Simon seems to get away with every offence. 

It is unclear as to why a rouge like Simon is allowed to continue at Allele, especially as others who exhibit similar behaviours are immediately discharged. Such an abuser of power would surely be the ruin of Allele's governing rule. 

Maybe it's all the free advertising that Simon does for Allele- appearing on TV and modelling campaigns to promote recruitment, practically becoming Allele's idol. He has a voice that people listen to, and a face they can't ignore. In the end, the mystery as to why Simon has returned is still hidden deep- maybe if the right person were to deep enough, they' would start to see the cracks in Allele's perfect web

Konrad chose Allele when she- like many others- saw it as a place to call home. Being born in the Polish countryside on a dying farm, Konrad was used to being looked down upon, to be pitied as the poor farmers daughter, who's mother was no longer around. The rest of the world was changing around her. She saw friends moving on, beginning their lives. Yet Konrad stayed at her family's farm, burdened to take over when her dad stopped tending to the crops - a habit of his that began when her mother died. 

Everyone else was allowed new changes except her, and eventually she would learn to accept her days would always be the same - that she wouldn't have to fret over her life changing because that only happened to everyone else. But the future hadn't forgotten about her. It was waiting. One day, a day she'll live again and again in her nightmares, she came home and to her surprise, found the future was there waiting for her. It hung from the ceiling - she used to call him dad. The choice to move on was made for her.

Now a member of Allele, Konrad must go through the militia's excruciating 6-year training program before she can call herself an "agent".  Like the rest of those on her course, she must live in Allele's trainee dorms with her own designated bunkbed. Konrad will have to adjust to this new way of life quickly, since there's no going back. Not after what she did to the farm. Just like the propaganda posters say, Allele is a lifestyle, not a job - which means Konrad will finally get what she always wanted; life.

An A-class student, always performing above his peers, Percy would achieve what others couldn't- receiving grades and honours that nobody had received for years before him. However all that praise came at a price. For Percy, that price was having anybody care about him. His commitments to the academics rather than social skills continued into university, where even the lecturers that praised him would struggle to have meaningful conversations- most ending in Percy falling silent or excusing himself.

Unfortunately, one day during an incident involving homophobic classmates, Percy was left with a head trauma that caused the right side of his face to become paralyzed. The trauma also caused a change in his personality. He went from a quiet, socially distanced young man, to one was was almost robotic; only doing tasks when told, never interacting in conversation and and forming a lack of empathy for other human beings (though this could be in part due to the incident itself rather than any brain damage). It seemed that his academic superiority has finally made the wrong people envious.

Until Allele was created, Percy never had the opportunity to do as he wished the people that mutilated him- so he stayed silent. Opportunity rose however when he was approached by fellow classmate, Mathis Weathers, and her then-boyfriend, Riley Cartwright. Now, 10 years after founding Allele alongside Riley and Mathis, Percy can do as he's always wanted- get revenge. Percy oversees Allele's recruitment schemes, assessing volunteers and seeing them through their training. In the past 6 years, Allele's recruitment has extended to homeless and incarcerate individuals- but now, recently, Percy is attempting to recruit high-threat convicts into Allele as well. Ever since the return of the death penalty, Percy hopes that one day those who are sentenced to death will instead chose to work at Allele- and in doing so, extending their lifespan for a few years. 

The first to test Percy's new plan is Connor O'Deary, an Irish freedom fighter who made his opposition to Allele's rule very clear. It's a risky operation, but with Percy at the forefront, and having never failed before, he hopes that he can train the hot-headed Irishman into a true Allele agent- and prove that his work will always succeed

Not everyone could afford the same level as prestige. Studying politics in Britain’s top college, Mathis Weathers wanted a place amongst those who made the decisions. She stayed near to the top of the class in her writings- on paper, she was a brilliant politician. However, her crux was her desire to stay uncompetitive. Mathis preferred not to debate with classmates, nor convince others to follow her lead. She wasn’t a politician without a backbone; she was just the definition of a pacifist.

Mathis was only somewhat close to one of her classmates, Percy Grahams. He preferred the quiet, like her, though his silence lasted far longer. She thought he was like her- academic, socially awkward, and unconfrontational. In hindsight, she jumped to quickly to the conclusion for that one.

Lacking a social life within her course, Mathis looked elsewhere for a friend. This was where she met Riley Cartwright. An eccentric, arrogant (and charming), young man, with over a hundred ideas for the future of Britain. She thought he was inspiring, the way he spoke about changing the world. Unlike her classmates, and even herself, she’d never imagined rewriting history as a politician; only following what was already in place. All her dreams were smaller than his.

 Along the way he must have convinced her she wanted to dream like him.

Riley wanted her to work with him to create something great- a new party to run for government: Allele. He had all the ideas, and he knew how to get people riled up. What he needed was Mathis’ knowledge of protocol, and the actual steps to setting up a government party- and at some point, during their late-night planning of their philosophical future, it was decided that Mathis would bring Percy Grahams into the fold. Then, she thought, at least their little party had two politics students.

…Mathis missed those nights of philosophy, when everything was just a dream. As it all became real, the happiness that Mathis had wanted began to disappear. The violence that the new government brought was overwhelming, as well as the violence she saw in Riley and Percy. When recruitment began at Allele, Mathis only stayed there for a year before handing in her resignation to the man she used to love. It seemed like her dream had come to an end.

But what Mathis didn’t realise, was that her resignation lined up coincidently with a new dream that was coming her way. A dream that was going to make moving on from Allele, and Riley Cartwright, a whole fuck-ton harder
