In the aftermath of a cataclysmic event, Liam Rahan's reactionary choices straddle the line between Memory and Forgetfulness. During a period of self-imposed exile, he questions his own adaptability in this New and Foreign World - ultimately, his priorities align themselves with the fundamental concept of Volition and the ability to make self-determined Choices. This man's inner conflicts seem to reflect the apprehension the other Survivors experience. Ultimately, it us up to each Individual to choose what they Remember... and Forget.
Humanity is then faced with this dilemma regarding Life and Death - do we tether ourselves to the Memory of those we have Lost or are we capable of truly letting go? When the characters approach the Gates of these Questions, will they look forward to the future or revert back to clinging to the Memory of the Past?
The choice to evolve or go extinct is presented in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian setting - essentially, this New Space is where such novel experiences are addressed. Along with several iterations of cohorts, companions, and even enemies, Liam attempts to objectively allow the development of the concept of Volition in this New World - free from the interfering characters who wish for a Return to the Old Ways.
In this setting, new Scientific discoveries are often at odds with old Mythologies, and in the most disastrous of instances, the two are fused in conflicts which bring out some of Humanity's darkest and latent Fears. Often with feelings of personal inadequacy and cultural alienation, the characters attempt to subvert others with such Enlightenment. Liam Rahan, however, refuses to Enlighten others because he considers this Interference an indignation. He is the manifestation of the witnessed horrors of the World - Liam is often compelled to prevent such acts, but in order to put a stop to them, he must cast aside his own Volition. It is in this Hypocrisy which Liam finds his self-fashioned torture throughout his journeys; he is Haunted by his Guilt, but chooses to accept the undeserved punishment without Complaint.
