Welcome to the city of Iso-Karo. I am many things; A liar, a cheat, a fugitive from so-called "justice", and a hyper-lethal assassin-for-hire. The scum of the city - criminal, if you're feeling polite. Astonishingly, I'm a soon-to-be terrorist. Icarus Gigacorporation has maintained a stranglehold on our city for far too long. The people have been divided between wealth and poverty, influence versus powerlessness. For years I have struggled to survive under the shadow of a criminal enterprise, but I won't have to struggle much longer. I intend to break this system of oppression. My name is Nova Vaylen, and I will bring this city to its knees.
