This is mostly info that does not belong elsewhere but mainly pertains to the setting, such as the town and the major players within it. There is a slight, very slight, magical element to some aspects of the town, but that will be explained below!

[/style] Chiaro is a tiny town in the middle of the East Coast of America that most would not know existed if not for the college and it's reputation. It is a small town; one could walk across it in an hour if one was walking at a normal pace. There are no hills to speak of and most people stick to the odd social order within the town. The only really special thing about the town is that no one ever seems to want to leave. Even the most rebellious of teenagers will rarely leave the town's limits, not even for a vacation longer than a week or so. It's an odd phenomena but no one has even seemed to notice their inclination to stay. It's just something that happens. People are born here, they live, and then they pass on and die....or not die. They are always provided for somehow despite being isolated.
There are farm lands on the west end of town that provides for whatever is not shipped in to the supermarkets from out of town. There are lakes and the like within the Forest and plenty of entertainment on the Fiero strip to keep people having fun. And enough of a population to keep it from being one of those gossipy towns...though don't be surprised if everyone knows what you were up to that one Friday night...

[/style] The Forgotten Forest, once known as the Faerie Forest, surrounds the town of Chiaro in a perfect circle, making the town one very giant clearing within it. It is expansive, and slightly eery, enough so that most will not go into it at night. According to the folklore within the town, the Forest has magical properties which is the reason no one leaves the town and also the reason why CU exists. Now, the first may or may not be true but most believe the second to be.
Being that one Scientist figured out how to remove and store memories from the brain and another Scientist figured out how to create Actives and get them fully functioning without a hitch while taking a walk through the forest, it is most likely true.
It is said that the Forest only grants its favors to those with good and pure hearts, or those that do not disrespect it and it will curse those that hurt anything within it without just cause. This is why the locals--call them superstitious--will not cut down a tree unless they absolutely can't get the wood from elsewhere and do not kill the animals within for sport, only if they are needed for life.

[/style] Nicknamed Mother for her kind and caring tone that can also be reprimanding if it needs to be, Mother is the supercomputer that runs CU and keeps it fully functioning. She is the one who reprograms the Actives for each mission and also when they first come into the Active Program. She is the only one who is capable of changing the appearances and memories of the Actives. This could possibly make her very dangerous for the CU because she could take them down, however she never would.
The reason for this is simple: She is the President of CU's wife. Or...she was, rather. She is the first ever Active, however only her mind was capable of being saved, her body was too damaged in death. She is the reason that the Scientists realized they could go further and create the Actives themselves. She is still in love with her Husband, and does as he asks happily, even in her computerized state.
