Lepers



Lepers are insect-like creatures that inhabit the subterranean regions of the Hellish dimension known only as Fester. They vary greatly in importance, appearance, and abilities, but there is always a single common factor that always remains the same -- the upside-down face that is located somewhere on their bodies. The full objectives of the Lepers are unknown, but their actions seem to indicate that they wish to spread their influence into our dimension by subjugating humanity. Standard Lepers cannot gain access to other worlds without the aid of Monuments or high-ranking members capable of generating portals like The Skinsect.

They were first discovered in 1999 by Venter Labs, who created the first dimension travel device, the Venter. Venter Labs mysteriously vanished after the disappearance of their lead scientist, Dr. Lance Fielding. Very few people have actually gotten a hold of these machines and those who have call themselves Travelers. Almost all Travelers seem to be impulsive danger-seekers, since randomized dimension hopping can be very dangerous.

There are currently 20 known types of Leper.
