Those who refuse to live in the metal cities known as bastions for all variety of reasons are left to roam the harsh and toxic environment of what ruined remains lie beyond the city limits. They are known as Abyss Walkers.
Lucy is one such Abyss Walker, a kid who mysteriously fell under pursuit of the ELIAS military during the tail end of the Endless War, and has been on the run ever since, forced to run and survive outside of the fleeting safety the bastions offered. A wild child with no manners and a huge attitude, more akin to one of the creatures of the Abyss he roams.
It's this rowdiness though that hides the fear he constantly harbors. About the people he meets, about his constant pursuit, about the dire straits those of the Abyss have to endure every day... more than anything, he's anxious and scared. And it's that fear that gives way to the creation and hosting of a new VISION... but that's for a different discussion.
...He also carries around this little handheld game console with a racing game on it and he's gotten like stupidly good at it. Which is kinda weird cause every time it dies he has to go scavenge for new batteries for it and those are becoming less and less frequent
