Vincent Brooklyn

“Still here. Still thinking. Still something.”

✦ Age at Infection: 44

✦ Status: Infected anomaly

✦ Infection Stage: Between Stalker and Clicker (stalled)

✦ Voice: Slurred, broken—like breath through cracked glass

✦ Previous Life: Therapist / Terminal cancer patient

✦ Current State: Conscious. Trapped. Mutating... slowly.

Once a therapist—sharp-minded, soft-spoken, and secretly unraveling. Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer just before the world fell apart, Vincent was already dying when the infection took him. But something went wrong—or right. The Cordyceps took his body, twisted it... but never fully silenced his mind.

He lingers now between stages. Too infected to be human, too aware to be monster.

He speaks in fractured syllables, breathes like it hurts, and watches with a mind that still remembers. Fire fascinates him. People frighten him. Silence is both his prison and his refuge.

He doesn’t seek redemption. He doesn’t seek death.

He just... survives.
