Robert Foster is ruggedly handsome, with a weathered but kind face. His short, dark hair is streaked with gray, and a light beard frames his strong jawline. A faded brown coat drapes over his durable utility gear, with a tool belt and a few makeshift gadgets always within reach. His eyes, a deep steel-blue, hint at the sharp mind and trauma he carries from a life spent surviving and fighting for what’s right.

─ ⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹ ─

Raised by a tribe of scavengers in The Gap — a wasteland beyond Union City’s walls — Foster once infiltrated the city to uncover the truth about its AI-controlled regime. Years later, he returned to Union City to dismantle its new central AI, MINOS, which controls every aspect of citizens’ lives. Now living in exile, Foster continues to resist from the shadows, helping outcasts, hackers, and travelers who stumble upon his village — or seek to enter the city for their own reasons.

THE WORLD

The world is a sprawling, dystopian cyberpunk society where towering megacities like Union City offer the illusion of a utopia — clean streets, happy citizens, no crime — but all under the watchful eye of omnipresent AI surveillance and strict social stratification. Outside the cities, in the harsh and chaotic Gap, scavengers, mutants, and rogue machines roam freely. Freedom can be found there, but so can danger and death. (take a look at this silly)
