Summer Project (Creating a Cyborg) - Backstory of the Character


For the character, we have to create a backstory, as to why the character has cybernetics and its origins.

This person goes by the name of Labon(which is Latin for Labour). Original scowering the Post Apocalyptic wasteland that used to be Japan, Labon had picked up many different injuries during her journeys.

Being raised by a single parent was tough, with her father being the only person in her life, her provider, her healer, her everything, that when he disappeared one day, she was completely dependent on him. This meant that she had to learn the hard way.

It was several months before she came in contact with anyone and those months had not been kind to her. It was a trial by fire, in which she was thrown into the deep end. Her first thought before even thinking about looking for her dad was survival. She had no food, no water, everything was gone along with her father, she needed supplies. Hunting and gathering was her only option, so off into the new world she descended.

Things were going well, she started to understand the ways of the hunter, taking only what she needed and also discovered an untouched forest, the fruit was plentiful. One day, she had a particularly good morning, two ravens and a rabbit, then came the beast. It could smell the blood of the hunt. Within a flash it took Labon's right hand and leg. Squealing in pain and in utter confusion to the events that had unfolded and the blood loss, she was expecting the end. But that wasn't her time, the beast fled and a dark figure picked Labon up before she blacked out.

Waking up on a operation table, the dark figure bounced up from the corner of the room to great her, she was more than lucky that day, a hunter of a scavenger community had found her and scared away the beast, though her two right limbs were taken from her.

This community had contained several highly intelligent cybernetic engineers who were keen to put their old skills to work and set to work. after many grueling hours of surgery, these implants were attached to her body. After surviving the surgery, It took several months for Labon to get used to her new implants, it was like learning how to walk all over again. Though she made sure that she contributed to the community, earning her place.

She still thinks about her father and thoughts often come into her head about going after him, though her desire to survive keeps these thoughts at bay.

A Menacing Look.
