Story

Humanity has finally achieved the knowledge and mastered the process of physical enhancement through human mechanization. By fusing mechanical parts within humans, they are able to overcome their natural limitations and achieve abilities that can aid in their daily life or job. Improved strength, speed, flexibility, vision, intelligence – anything. However, “with great power comes great responsibility.” Despite this huge technological leap being kept confidential and undisclosed just yet, the information was leaked by information brokers, enabling powerful criminals and evil masterminds to abuse the human mechanization process to facilitate crime and instill fear in normal civilians to get their way. With such villains wreaking havoc, the military department of defense has hurriedly turned to normal civilians for help as their normal military assets and armies are not enough to counter the chaos. These recruited civilians are given roles (support, damage dealer, tank) chosen by military officials after reviewing their backgrounds and strengths in certain activities or careers. Recruits are then mechanically enhanced by certified military professionals to aid in their given role and sharpen their existing strengths. Named the “Big 3” of the first wave, Ollie the skater (sharp sniper); Eleven the break-dancer (speedy gunner); and Hunk the circus strongman (powerful berserker) are the best and first to be let out onto the battlefield to prevent the outbreak of chaos.

Inspiration

The main idea and creative design of this story/characters were inspired by games such as Overwatch and Valorant. Thinking about the hero/tactical shooter and futuristic mecha theme, I asked myself how normal civilians would look or function if they were to be mechanically enhanced and become the new protectors of a city rather than the military and police.

Challenges + Accomplishment

Time was a major challenge for this project but in the end, I believe I was able to decently render this idea out into a finished product I was able to submit.

What's next for Big 3: First Wave

I plan to further develop these characters and the world-building to get a clearer picture of how I want this project to look and be. However, in order for this project to truly come to life, I imagine myself adding more characters and even creating a playable prototype for this game idea.
