Heroes
When the city cracked under the weight of its own sins, a few refused to let it fall. Drawn from accidents, awakenings, or the ancestral echoes of something older than humanity, the heroes of the Bright Fracture are the ones who stood up instead of collapsing. Their powers are jagged, unpredictable things -- gifts born from toxic miracles, psychic shockwaves, or machines humming with forbidden energy. But they wield them for something larger than themselves. They are not saints. They are survivors who decided the story needed someone to fight back.
Villains
The breach did not just empower the righteous. It fed the desperate, the broken, and the ambitious. It whispered to criminals, scientists, prophets, and monsters alike -- showing them what they could be if they stopped caring who got hurt along the way. These are the inheritors of the Dark Overflow: villains shaped by hunger, vengeance, or visions carved into their minds by the same cosmic leak that stains the city's underbelly. They wear their powers like scars -- marks of a world that never gave them a chance, so now they'll take everything it denied them.
