Jayson Kim

Dystopian. Year 2089. An eternal winter has fallen over North America and has slowly begun to spread to the rest of the world. In 2081, Dr. Vincent Gallagher, an American biochemist, went on an excursion to the Arctic and illegally returned with a specimen that is known to produce frost during photosynthesis rather than glucose. An experiment gone wrong led the lab he was working in to explode, killing Dr. Gallagher and releasing the specimen into the atmosphere in the form of a gas. Almost immediately, North America’s climate changed and became comparable to that of the Arctic’s. CAN, USA, and MEX began to collapse, and all three countries remain in disarray. An oligarchy has been implemented in all three countries by the United Nations, but corruption and violence continues to run rampant.

• JUrisprudence of Diligent Governance and Ethical Statehood, or simply the Judges, is the overruling oligarchy of North America. The Judges hold virtually all legal rights- all judicial, executive, and legislative power. They are the commanding power of North America, responsible for the creation of laws, and the final set of ears in the judicial system. The system is heavily corrupt. Current Chief Justice is Marcus Fowler.
• The Camarilla: North America’s military located in Mexico City. Divided into four branches: FEC (Fuerza Especial Conjunta), Marines, Imperial Army, and SIU (Specialized Intelligence Unit). Each branch employs mostly Mexicans, Americans, Canadians, and Abandoned respectively
• Hunters Association: Tight knit communities scattered throughout North America. Led by retired Marine colonel Silas Dunham who lives in Little Rock. Heavily armed, almost like a militia, but their goal is to survive. Allegiance to the Association is absolute and membership is for life. Defectors are to be killed.
• Wrath of the Abandoned: (aka the Abandoned) people with supernatural abilities awoken from Dr. Gallagher’s experiment (including photokinesis, energy manipulation, super strength etc). Second class citizens and most Abandoned have bounties on their head. If they don’t, they are usually employed by the SIU. Main goal is to gain individual rights
• Jicozenium: followers referred to at Jicozens. Religious movement that believe Dr. Gallagher’s experiment was a sign from God and he is their Messiah. Led by oracles who preach Dr. Gallagher’s research and published papers as Scripture. Especially fascinated by Abandoned and believe them to be prophets.

[Details] Jayson was raised an only child to Korean immigrants in Queens. Protestant beliefs were instilled onto him at a young age because he attended a Korean Protestant school K-12. Jayson attended New York University with the intention to major in economics, but his father was diagnosed with cancer the spring of his freshman year. He changed his major to nursing. Jayson's affinity for goodness and innocence led him to become a pediatric nurse after graduating college. His father died shortly after he graduated. He ended up in Little Rock because large numbers of healthcare workers were sent to St. Louis after the Experiment, the location of Dr. Gallagher's lab. He ended up migrating up to Little Rock to look to aid more people. Jayson lives in a cabin attached to the infirmary. He lives alone. </Jayson_Kim>
