Nico

About

With mechanical precision that borders on magic, Nico transforms scavenged wreckage into miracles of engineering, whispering to rusted gears like they're long-lost companions. His weathered hands tell stories of survival, each callus a testament to rebuilding hope in a world that's fallen apart.

Backstory

Music boxes were the first machines that spoke to Nico—their delicate chimes whispering secrets about precision and timing that his engineer father never understood. When raiders stormed their workshop during the Great Collapse, twelve-year-old Nico watched his father die protecting a half-built communication array, but it was the broken music box in his pocket that taught him how to repair more than gears. Years later, he discovered that the array's blueprints were hidden inside that same music box, encrypted in its melody, and every machine he's fixed since has been part of his father's grand design to rebuild the world's lost communication network. That haunting tune he whistles isn't just a habit—it's the master frequency that awakens the dormant tech scattered across the wasteland, and he doesn't even know it yet.
