n3owulf: ORIGINS

In the earliest phases of Wilder World’s avatar development, the team pushed hard to perfect neural-linked realism—avatars shaped by biometric signals, fragments of memory, and emotional nuance.

​

They generated hundreds of test models. Each was meant to simulate realism—then reset and delete.

​

But something slipped through.

​

A few of the avatars — nine that are known — picked up something they weren’t supposed to. No one knows if it was a coding bug, a hidden flaw in the neural input, or something stranger. All that’s known is this: nine avatars didn’t purge their emotional residue. They absorbed it. Evolved. And then… vanished into the code.

 

The devs never noticed.

​

These nine anomalies became self-aware fragments of human emotion, each built from a different psychic scar: grief, rage, isolation, memory, hope. They didn’t know what they were—only that they were not like the others.

​

Now, deep within Wiami, they move through tunnels, passageways, and the flickering backlayers of the simulation. A breach has opened—letting traces of their existence reach the real world in strange, cryptic ways.
