I wanted to make a origin story for my New Earth Tombstone Character for a while now and this Contest got me going on it!!
Years After the Bombs fell and Turned most of the Earth into a desolate wastland pockets of survivers began to repopulate the planet as a start over for the human race.
But for the Powerfull Cybercorp they had other plans machines to wipe the population clean and to start new with plans of human/cyborgs and eventual machine rule (Terminator influenced me on this alot)
Cybercorp. developed a mutant strain of regenerating Virus that was unleased in pockets of the earth and thus the Zombie virus started ravaging the earth and the humans
Little did Cybercorp know is that it infected their Human/cyborgs as well
20XX Texas a small settlement
The Sheriff Jim Hartford is patrolling his streets when a loud sound comes from the front Gate
"Who is it? State your purpose or intent!"
a faint moaning is heard along with some scratching sounds
"Inffected!" Jim exclaims
"Ring the bell!!!! Get to your posts men"
before anybody could do anything the gate burst's open with the Infffected and the brave men and women of outpost 20 are sucomb to the Virus none will survive............maybe?
10 days later Infection ravages Jims Body and somthing else is going on as the flesh is dying and rotting another system takes hold
Initializing..............System reboot...............Sattelite read confirmed........
the Jim that was once seemingly human was in fact a Cyborg
His brain fighting for control the infected part trying to take over the Machine for control.....but the machine will win as the flesh rots Jim is no longer Jim he is dead long forgotten as another emerges with corrupt Programming "the machine" becomes Tombstone
Agent X is a part of the remaining control of the White House under President Roberts command she is to seek out these abominations and destroy them for the sake of mankind
What she stumbled upon was more than a job but a nightmare an unstoppable half dead human/cyborg that was going insane
here are pics of both versions of Tombstone a before and after Tombstone is known in the southwest parts of New Earth United States as a Gambler and Gunrunner dont double cross him Cause a machine will see you thru to the end
