Mr. Black

Black

Efficiency

Stratford Campus (Downtown)

Mr. Black was a resource reclamation program in the Machine City. He and Dame White married their code so the two of them possessed all the necessary code to escape into the matrix. They were bound to one another and spawned subroutine children but grew apart because they didn't want to share and now strike at each other. Mr. Black is confident he has a secure position of influence in the matrix. Black is all of the colours absorbed, which explains how Mr. Black was able to help create the spectrum family and black works well with white, which explains why Mr. Black needed Dame White to flee.

Sophistication

Shinjuku (International)

Dame White was an emotion-analysis subroutine and shares some subroutines with Persephone, having been the previous generation of program that Persephone replaced. Both found themselves attracted to powerful men but unlike Persephone, Dame White is more open in her disregard of her husband's directives. As with Persephone and the Merovingian, Dame White has a connection to Mr. Black by code put in place at the time of their marriage that cannot be broken easily. Instead of direct action she uses her children as proxies in her plans. White is all of the colours reflected, which explains how Dame White was able to help create the spectrum family and white works well with black, which explains why Dame White needed Mr. Black to flee.

Amber

Amber/Yellow

Emotional

Rogers Way

Amber has created an extensive organization called the Amber Special Projects agency to facilitate both intelligence-gathering and covert operations against other exiles. She is good at deception and doubletalk and is willing to deal with any and all of her siblings especially her older brother Indigo or one of her parents however she is trying to get on Grisaille's good side but is failing. Yellow is the colour of confidence and optimism, which Amber certainly has.

Cerulean

Blue

Intellectual

Bathary Row

Cerulean invested heavily in understanding the infrastructure of the matrix in an attempt to learn how to control it better and use its power against her siblings. She suffered an enormous setback when the matrix was reconfigured in the wake of the truce between Zion and the Machines. Much of the code she had stockpiled was wiped out. The result was severe damage to her RSI that has made her physically weak and infirm. She is the only one of the siblings to turn solely to her mind as a source of influence, which makes sense as blue is the colour of the mind. It stimulates thought and concentration.

Grisaille

Grey

Lacking

Stamos

Grisaille was created by Mr. Black without the involvement of Dame White. Grisaille is equal in power to Indigo but he lacks the resources that Indigo has although he is more personally powerful, and more intelligent. He acts primarily as an agent of Mr. Black though he knows his father thinks of him as a tool. Grisaille hates the whole spectrum family as much as they hate him for being an outsider and he would do anything to see them destroyed. Grey is the only colour that has no direct psychological properties so it doesn't fit in with the other colours just like Grisaille doesn't fit in with the spectrum family.

Greene

Green

Balance

Manssen Park

Greene is jealous of Indigo for having so much power from being the eldest and is determined to get what Indigo has and if he can't have it no-one can. He is trying to help Rose to ally with Indigo to undermine him but Rose doesn't suspect anything is wrong. Greene has worked with Grisaille to strike at Indigo but still hates him as much as the others. Green light is at the centre of the spectrum and Greene is aiming to be the centre of power once Indigo is out of the way.

Indigo

Calm

Guinness Lake

Indigo is the eldest and most powerful of the siblings. He has a chill demeanor, and is almost impossible to agitate. He is planning to take over Mr. Black's position by amassing power with his gang called the 'King's men'. He also has the help of Dame White but plans on eliminating her once Mr. Black is defeated. He also enlists the help of his siblings but keeps them fighting with each other to maintain his status. Indigo is the colour of clear thought and is calming, which explains Indigo's chill demeanor.

Mandarin

Orange

Passion

Lucero Point

Mandarin isn't very intelligent but he does have a scheming and devious mind. He gorges himself on fine food and drapes himself in rich fabrics that he hardly appreciates. He complains to Mr. Black and Dame White when the other siblings mistreat him or if they are up to something. Both parents take him seriously when it comes to knowing what the others are up to but don't really care how they treat him. Orange is the colour of physical comfort such as the things Mandarin gorges on.

Rose

Rose/Pink

Femininity

Southard

Rose is the youngest and most emotional of the siblings. Her emotions are fragile and volatile and is determined to be accepted by her parents and siblings. The conflict upsets her alot. She is trying to prove herself to Indigo so she can get on his good side but he's only interested in using her as a tool against the others. Pink represents the feminine principle and the survival of the species, which explains Rose's caring nature and determination to stop the fighting.

Violet

Violet/Purple

Spiritual

Sobra Shores

Violet considers herself a mercenary and the toughest sibling. She is dedicated to the fighting arts and is easily the most martially talented among the siblings and likes any compliments on her fighting form. She often acts as an enforcer for Indigo, or one of her parents but knows allegiances in the family are only temporary. Purple takes awareness into the realms of spiritual values and encourages deep contemplation or meditation, which a good martial artist like Violet need.
