In a sprawling metropolis where steam-powered tech fuses with neon-lit streets, Jax Thorn navigates the shadows as a rogue inventor. Orphaned young in the underbelly of Gearhaven City, he scavenged parts from abandoned factories to build his first gadget—a pair of steampunk goggles that reveal hidden mechanisms and illusions. Now, with his muscular build honed from street brawls and lab mishaps, Jax wears a worn hoodie and jeans to blend in, using his inventions to thwart corporate overlords and aid the forgotten. His life is a whirlwind of explosive experiments and daring heists, always one gear turn away from revolution.
