Lyn froze at his seat, pausing the music in his earbuds. The man pulls back, turning around and pulling out a taser defensively at the stranger in his quarters.
“…how did you get past all these walls?”
His voice was calm and flat, despite the fear in his eyes. He rarely felt that, fear. Not anymore. But yet, the unknown always lingered.
His quarters were dark, full of gray and black. The most colorful thing visible being the sage of his suit. It felt like a prison.
[ Universe Traveler OCs will be easier, but we can ALWAYS work out AUs <3 message here or on discord for help with it! ]
Context: Lynn is a scientist working to cure a zombie epidemic. He lives a gray life, in his gray compound, reporting to his gray superiors.
He is A Bad Man even if he believes himself to be morally correct. He WILL manipulate your OCs. Worse if he gets attached probably.
Ok like every week around the same time (probably) there’s this really weird siren that goes off and I have no idea what it’s for and I’ve never seen where it’s coming from and I always immediately forget about it until it goes off again and so I’m writing this really quickly before I forget but um this feels very dystopian please help??
It was very alarming at first but now I’m getting used to it I don’t know what’s going on
Writer: This is a dystopian horror universe where you can't trust ANYTHING! Everything is out to get you! There are mystical beings walking around and they Will kill you! Nothing is real! Trusting is dangerous!
I genuinely just need ONE good thing to happen. LITERALLY JUST ONE GOOD THING IN THIS FUCKING PILE OF SHIT OF A PLANET. WHY DOES NOONE HAVE BASIC EMPATHY ANYMORE. WHY ARE NAZIS BACK. WHY WONT I BE ABLE TO AFFORD A HOUSE UNTIL IM 40. everything feels so fucking hopeless I just need ONE good thing to happen.
The working title I've been going with is "Uncrossed Wires"
So it starts with this general sci-fi/dystopia setting, dark city streets, high tech and gloomy skies. The government is shit because it's a dystopia, so there's this fairly large group of rebels with a hidden hq outside of the city. The Rebel's leader is this woman-boss (like girlboss, but older) called Maria .
There are many notable figures in the Rebel group, but the most notable is Rainer. He's a mechanic who's extremely experienced in all sorts of technology, and is basically the one in charge of the Rebel HQ's supply of electricity/other tech. He also has a daughter, the main character Moxie. (Oops- They were kind of a self-insert when I first had the idea so I'm just goin with it) Moxie is pretty rowdy and playful, as well as generally being a bit weird, something the others in the Rebel group aren't fond of, especially not Maria. However, they keep Moxie around because if she goes Rainer will go with her and they'll loose their only mechanic.
Moxie tries to help the Rebel Group by going on missions or raiding the city to get parts for her dad to build with, but her antics often get her hurt, in trouble or both. One of these daring stupid missions takes her to a scrapyard, where she plans to find old and spare parts for Rainer's newest invention.
What she instead finds is a heavily damaged, somehow still working robot. She drags them back to Rainer's workshop who gets them fixed, and conflict arises as the Rebel Group aren't exactly accepting of her or her new friend Prototype 4 "Rusty".
Rusty is shy and nervous while Moxie is confident and outgoing, but they connect over their poor treatment from the Rebels and become close friends. Rainer is initially harsh towards Rusty, since he's always seen robots as tools/products, but warms up to them once he realises their friendship with his daughter is genuine, and tries to get the other rebels to do the same.
