introduction

welcome! if you’re reading this then it means i trust you a whole lot and i am comfortable with sharing this project with you!

this note will walk you trough the beginning of the story, in a way that when you start reading the first part you’re not confused.

content warning

although i am sure you are fine with it, i must give a warning in advance;
the story contains a lot of:

• nudity
• sex
• gore
• inherit violence based on politics

how will this be realized?

uh, lots of ways, i wanted to do 3d animation at first but i am not good enough or just enough for that, it would require a huge team. so the current idea is voice acted interactive comics.

one last thing

world building and story will be told at the same time. everything here is in timeline order, the eventual product will not be.

all of the following will be rewritten at some time too, since the parts following this are rouuughhhh (more on that later).

keep in mind, this isn’t finished, nowhere close to it!

the story also has a tech shift of 5 years, meaning tech in 2003 is at the level of tech in 2008, however historical events play out the same, so do design trends and so on.

the story

age 0

Veronika is born. She’s a hungarian only child with two very loving parents, they did everything they could to make sure she has a bright future ahead of her.

the world is fine, not the best, the US is showing cracks, but nothing some patriotism can’t fix!

age 5

the us on thin ice, bailouts like in real life are not happening here due to hyper toxic propaganda focusing on who to blame instead of actually fixing the soon to be total economic collapse (this is based on the 2008 market crash (loosely)).

eventually the US cracks, private militias start tearing down anything valuable on the behalf of banks that are near sinking into the ground, US forces are openly attacked multiple times until a full blown collection war happens that involves regular people too, for a long long while people are tearing each other apart based on their loyalty to their valuables or country.

yadi yada bombings happen, places are turned into dust (ESPECIALLY LA.), and then sorta puts an end onto this way, a couple countries from and the two most notable ones are:

RE.U.S - The Re United States, consisting of this area:

(you might say that some of the states in here aren’t exactly intact, dw about it.),

and the texan republic, it consists of texas lmao.

age 7

all of this has little to no effect on Veronika’s life so far, and why should it?

however nato gets poofed out of existence and the One For All Organization takes it’s place, mostly funded by the RE.U.S.

all of this mess leads for a good couple of years where national security is non-existent and everything can be brough in or out of the RE.U.S and the EU, guns, drugs, your good shit starts flying.

the end result is gangs start popping up all over in the eu, wanna be gangsters thinking a gun and some cocaine is a better use of their life, too bad most of them are very successful.

this leads to 2 important gangs; the good one, and the bad one (no, the good one isn’t good, no i haven’t named them yet :sob:)

they get into some fights and a rivalry starts between them, they fight about anything if they see each other, guns, drugs, territory you get the idea, however these fights between them can happen anywhere and it’s not that uncommon to have a fight outbreak in the public. they both understand of the risks so they get try to shoot in a way that civilians can escape, luckily the police doesn’t give a shit since they both pay them off.

on a nice summer day Veronika and her parents are taking a scenic walk, a sudden fight between the two gangs break out and they’re caught in the middle. everyone is trying to escape, trampling over each other.

a pair from the bad gang however see Veronika and her parents there and decide they wanna have some fun. they shoot out her dad’s legs making him fall down, her mom tries to help him get up. the pair asks for a third ganger to come and help them, as they’re making their way to Veronika and her mom they shoot her mom from the side making her collapse on the ground.

the third ganger catches Veronika as she’s screaming and trying her best to help her parents up, he locks her down forcing her to watch as the pair step on their backs and bullet trough the back of their heads, blood splashes on Veronika’s face.

she’s wailing and kicking, one of the pair slaps her to shut her up, ends up making her even louder. she bites the hand of the ganger holding her down, managing to break free.

the ruckus she’s caused grabs the good gangs attention and some of them rush there, the pair not wanting to risk it tells the third ganger to go and draw back to safety, killing Veronika can come later. one of the good gangers understanding what killing a kid would do to them - how the police cannot turn a blind eye to that, snatches her up and runs with her to a safe(r) place.

as the fight dies down from the good gang winning, the other gang just flees away as it’s not worth it. the good gang starts scavenging the bodies for valuables, they pull the wallet from her dad’s corpse, the cash is taken out, but the id’s are kept in there, they throw the wallet at the ganger who was protecting Veronika.

they collect the few bodies that are laying around and take them to a place where they could burn them, she watches as the bodies turn into ash quietly crying to herself. they take her back to their base, an abandoned hotel at the edge of the city, the boss comes down seeing her and a few gangers around her, he asks what’s going on and they tell him the short version, he just directs them to give her to the combat medic, an older guy, blackmailed into staying with the gang: ex family man and his wife and kids refuse to talk to him since he’s affiliated with the gang.

the boss has wanted a mindless solider for a long time, someone who obeys him no question, and someone who has an insane blood lust for the other gang, he makes the combat medic her caretaker, and he can’t refuse.

the others give him the wallet and he just takes her into his room.

in there she just stares out the window in the kitchen, the caretaker tells her to go and sit, she obeys without any fuss or words, the caretaker leaves to go talk to the boss. he argues that having a kid around isn’t the best idea, and a mentally damaged kid isn’t gonna be the most loyal solider especially if they force her to be there, the boss doesn’t care.

facing a response he counted for he decides to go back to her parents house to loot it and see if there’s anything that could at least bring comfort for the kid. late at night he visits, it’s quite a drive, 2 or so hours.

he takes money, other valuables, and her blanket and some plushies from her room, along the way he also finds her mom’s cookbook, full of recipes. he takes it, just to make something for her that could maybe signal he’s trustworthy. he makes his way back to the hotel, it’s the middle of the night and as he enters his room he sees her resting her head on the table, passed out.

he wakes her up, telling her that she doesn’t need to be sleeping there, she can go to bed to be more comfortable, with a tired sad face she drags her feet to bed and falls asleep almost immediately. he stays up all night working on something.

in the morning he checks on her and she’s awake, having not eaten in a day or so he offers to make some breakfast, for the first time she talks to him saying she’s not hungry. he however still makes something for her to eat, as he’s making it the smell of it hits her and she slowly comes out of the room peeking out.

he notices her and invites her to take a bite, she cautiously walks up and tastes it, recognizing the taste to be really familiar.

she hugs him tight.

age 12

the caretaker tries his best to give her a proper childhood, loving her as his own.

taking her to places is made complicated by the boss, so he can’t really go with her to exotic places, really only places that are a couple hours away from the hotel, still he does his best. he also teaches her some things, math, history, a bit of literature, and english. besides that he also watches some tv shows with her, however he can’t dedicate all of his time to her, and she’s not comfortable around the other gangers, opting to just stay inside. she’s very secretive, the only person who knows her name is the caretaker, rest of the gang has several nicknames for her instead.

she also goes on the caretakers pc from time to time to browse the web, to see what’s outside.

since the caretaker doesn’t have all the time in the world to care for her sometimes she goes hungry, not wanting to interact with the others she decides that she’s gonna start making food for herself, first attempt is… shit, and the caretaker quickly smells it, but sooner or later she gets the hang of it, using her mom’s cookbook to make foods that comfort her.

however the smells from the room start to smell really good, the others are noticing, and so is the boss, he asks the caretaker if she’s the one behind it - he tells the truth. the boss forces her to cook for the entire gang, she of course refuses as she’s only doing this for herself. however the boss doesn’t take no for an answer, he beats obedience into her.

being forced to cook quickly takes any enjoyment she had out of it, to add to her already shit day to day experience some of the gangers on purpose complain about menial shit with her food, afraid of being beaten again she just keeps silent.

it’s also clear she’s going to be tall, the boss notices it.

age 16~

hold up

see how it says 16~? yeah that means things aren’t set exactly in 1 year. you will see this a couple more times, not really ideal i know, but for now this is the easiest way for me to write down.
so this is from 16 to whatever age comes next.

yup! she’s (going to be even) tall(er).

her daily routine is to wake up, make breakfast for everyone, go back to her room (she got herself a room now), go on her pc to play some games, talk with the caretaker, make dinner for everyone, take a shower and sleep.

however the boss’s plan with her starts here, she’s forced into working out, at this point she accepted her fate and obeys even tough she really doesn’t wanna. she actually finds it therapeutic like gaming, pushing herself to be good is enough motivation for her to do it for hours, the others are concerned for her, so they force her to take breaks.

also during this time she becomes more edgy, so much so that she wanted to change her online handle to “i’ll kill u”, but since most platforms filtered it out, she just shortened it to “iku”. she likes the sound of it and tells the others that they can call her iku since she refuses to tell them her real name. some of them laugh in her face, calling it ridiculous, some respect her wish and call her iku.

working out and puberty does some insane work on her ego tough, she can’t decide if she likes the way she looks or hates it. one moment she’s a very humble girl who tries to stay out of the way, the other moment she’s a loud spiteful bastard ready to take on anyone in a fight.

her body got real curvy on the top from pure luck and from the bottom due to her active workouts, in short: she thinks she’s hot shit, thinks she’s going to be even hotter shit.

she has a pretty wide back, so her workouts focus on her legs, lats, glutes, arms and core. all in all she’s getting serious muscle (not junker queen build, but not something to scoff at either).

seeing her eagerness to fight some people, some of the gangers start teaching her how to fight properly, she’s good, light on her feet quick with her punches and can punish misses really hard. sometimes they have to stop because she gets too into it and almost kills the opponent.

at this point they start taking her out on jobs just to be scary, she has a real mean look on her face.

back in the re.u.s there is a project that’s greenlit, a project to make a big chunk of florida more like los angeles, terraforming and everything, this area has been greenlit for the project, the citizens have no say in this.

(if you think “hey that’s kind of a dumb idea, it will cost a lot of money that tourism isn’t going to bring in for the next 20 years and messes up the natural order of things” then you’d be correct! however this is a dick measuring contest between the re.u.s and the texan republic. just doing crazy shit to compete with each other.)

iku starts bringing tools with her, like bats and crowbars, she even gets to use them from time to time. she enjoys hitting people with a bat a lot. however the boss tells her that she needs to start learning how to use guns, iku protests about this saying that she’s fine enough with her hands and bats, but the boss insists that “you don’t bring a bat to a gunfight”. reason manages to win iku so they start training her with guns.

she doesn’t really like it, they gave her a desert eagle out of all things. too loud, huge knockback. she keeps going along tough, and manages to somewhat tame that beast of a handgun. she also learns some assault rifles like the ak-47, preferring more slower shooting ar’s with high penetration.

the caretaker also teaches her how to drive, first to drive legally, then to drive good. she likes driving, it’s a sense of freedom she hasn’t really experienced yet.

but iku doesn’t exactly feel the best still being with the gang, she asks to be released from the gang, but of course that request is denied. that shits on her mood for a long while, almost being inconsolable for a bit.

age 18~

iku's appearance

hold on, it’s best i describe her appearance at this moment in the story, i will have an updated appearance at the end of this since she does change it up a bit.

BODY:
height: 185cm

lean, muscular body with a wide(r) back, veiny arms, tasteful abs

a sharpish chin with a little bit sunken eyes, a pointy nose and brown eyes and a long pointy tongue, she also has sharp pointy fangs - she can give you a mean mean bite.

her hairstyle is double buns with hair going trough the buns and hanging a few centimeters, adds a eerie playfulness to her creepy mean look.

a wide hip leading into big thighs and strong calves, her butt is quite big and heart shaped

her breasts are huge, US i cups, with bigger than usual nips. they are like half of her ego.

her skin is fragile, as in she has iron deficiency, if she wears heavy clothes all day there is a really good chance her skin will dry out and or crack.

CLOTHING:
she has two sets of clothes, work and chill.

WORK:
she wears a kevlar vest and sports bra under a black tshirt, mostly hiding her top figure, on top of that she has a black leather jacket and wears a black leather pant with steel plated black boots that reach up to her knee (kinda like the heavy-duty biker exo-jacks from cyberpunk). she also gets a gun-belt around her hip to hold her deagle and some mags

CHILL:
she sticks to basics; plain white tshirt, dark-gray sweatpants and that’s really it.

her mood starts to have serious swings, but she never returns to her old self, she’s mainly a spiteful mean person now, and her voice got deep.

she’s generally more aggressive, and the others notice that, on jobs she’s regularly close to killing someone, so they send her on more chill jobs for a bit like transporting some drugs for the friends of the gang.

she still does her obligations to the gang, so the boss has no issue with her.

she also starts drinking heavily, and when she’s drunk she starts going on about how she wants to leave, how they’re the reason why she’s going to be fucked up forever.

eventually she hooks up with one of the younger gang member, there is no love between them, she’s just frustrated at life and horny, leading to them “being a couple” - when it’s really just her shoving him onto a bed, fucking him and then leaving him there. this is where she finds out that she actually prefers being dominant way more in sex.

she gets shot in her left shoulder, the bullet almost nicking an artery. the caretaker quickly get rid of the bullet and disinfects the wound. he does his best to make sure she heals quickly but iku’s mood is completely soured at this point, screaming that she demands that her jacket and pants are fitted with kevlar plates. and so they are. they put pockets on the inside that lets her put kevlar plates in, in addition she gets more pockets in the left and right to bring more ammo with her. she doesn’t throw away used magazines since that has her fingerprints on it so now she can just throw it in her jacket.

eventually she heals up, her skin has a permanent mark but that’s the least of her concern.

she asks to be let go again, just to be denied again.

there’s no fuss this time, but she immediately goes and starts working out right after it.

this whole song and dance goes on for a long bit, people even think that she’s doing this as a bit now.

however she’s still furious. after a heated argument they send her out one night to mug a guy, they tell her to just roughen the guy up and steal his shit.

instead she creeps on the guy, waiting for a good spot and sucker punches him from the back, she drags the man into a corner and starts beating him senseless, in the heat of the moment she pulls her gun out and shoots him in the head. it’s the first time she killed anyone.

she’s not scared tough, she just squats down next to the body and stares the hole she made in his head, the blood dripping down. it’s kinda like she’s studying the body. eventually she snaps out of it, takes the guys belongings and goes back home.

there she slams down the things she got onto a table, and leaves. one of the gangers call out to her, she stops and doesn’t turn back completely, only in a way that her side of her face is visible. the ganger gets up and walks up to her, seeing her face covered in blood and her pupils being small. they ask her if she killed him and she only replies that she did what was necessary to defend herself.

the next morning they all see the body on tv.

around a week later her “boyfriend” gets killed in a turf war, the others are mourning him while she couldn’t give fuck about it.

however her drinking lessens, and she isn’t so irritable anymore, she has a strange sense of calm on her, even becoming more friendly to the gang members, she’s creeping them out a lot.

this calm, calculated creepy behavior is noticed by the caretaker, who asks her to not do anything stupid. iku insists on that she isn’t planning on doing anything just yet.

after another attempt of asking to be let go, she immediately goes to the shooting range to train her aim, she actually starts spending almost all of her free time in the shooting range, quickly bettering herself.

the others are now very weary of her, some think that she’s gonna kill them all, other think she’s just being dramatic.

she starts bringing a really sharp pocket knife with her, on occasions even stabbing people with it.

some tough get used to her “creepy” behavior and think that she’s just trying to blend in since she was an outsider for so long, they like her.

her routine of asking to be let go intensifies though, it’s almost every other day now.

a day before her birthday, she asks. is denied, and goes down to have some drinks with the gang, this time she doesn’t really drink any booze tough, keeps it simple. she goes to bed early, setting an alarm for 3 am, putting her phone on vibrate and puts it under her pillow

age 20

it’s her birthday. (feburary 1st.)

it’s cold outside, 1 celsius, it’s snowing.

she wakes up to her phone buzzing. quickly gets up and goes into the bathroom to get ready. she opens her door and sneaks out into the lobby. in the hotel there’s night guards. not voluntary, so most of them slack off and fall asleep after a bit.

she kills both of them. the loud banging gets everyone up, as they rush to see what the hell is that banging she pops them off one by one, she ends up getting tackled from the back but she throws them on the ground and cuts their throat.

it’s an absolute bloodbath. her upper body is basically drenched in blood, she reeks of dead bodies.

she kicks in the door to the boss’s office, he’s there sitting behind his desk, as if he was expecting this. along the way she grabs two glasses and a bottle of whiskey. she sets the glasses and bottle in front of him, smearing blood on the sides as she pours the whiskey out.

she stays silent the whole time and sits down in the leather chair infront of the desk, she picks up a glass and just points at the other one, the boss picks the other one up. they salute and drink.

after it she slams the glass down and says “you know why i’m here”. the boss plays stupid, the whole dance goes around again, about how he can’t let her go since she’s so good at what she does, but instead of listening to it again iku stands up, this makes the boss stop. she lets out a big sigh as she twits the cap back onto the bottle. she puts the neck of the bottle between her fingers and slowly drags the bottle on the desk by it’s corner, making a loud scraping noise.

she says “you know that’s a shame, i wasn’t really asking this time around”, and slams the bottle onto his head.

the bottle shatters, glass shards are in his face, she throws him out of his chair and drags him to the wall, she takes his sunglasses off and puts them on as he’s looking. she starts toying with him, asking if he’d prefer a knife or a gun, she gives him a last chance to say anything to save himself. just groaning in pain. she’s grown impatient and cocks her gun and presses it against his forehead. that’s when he realizes that no, iku will not obey him, that this isn’t a show of what she can do. (wow this guy is smart, right?)

he begs her, tells her that letting go isn’t a thing but she can go ahead and be the head of an expansion, that he has plans to expand into the re.u.s, that she could be the leader of it, be her own boss, with the exceptions of the first couple months she’d would have to be under guidance from a local.

she thinks about it for a bit, and then tells him that she know he’s trying to fuck her over, sending her to a war-torn country with unstable people, sending her to a place where she knows no one and still expecting reports back to him. but he’s lucky, iku is so done with him and the people there that she takes the deal, kicking into him commanding him to get her papers by the morning.

final appearance

her appearance changes a bit after she gets settled in the re.u.s. bit of a spoiler i know but this way you can visualize her better.

iku's later appearance

she gets her hair painted, a dark cyan to a dark pink gradient, so when she puts her hair into buns the colors are colliding a bit, she of course uses the sunglasses she took off of the boss, with the lens not shading much from the inside and letting her pupils be more visible, she also puts in contacts that changes her eyes color to a more yellow-ish color.

her nails also get painted, black on all fingers except the index finger where it’s painted yellow (specifically #ffd800). she keeps her nails short so she can use guns properly.

make up is not a thing she really bothers with besides the basics since she’s usually getting really messy, ruining any effort into that

thank you for reading!

thanks for reading my thing, this shortened version of the story isn’t really an ideal way to get into the story in my opinion but i hope it grabbed you somewhat to want to start reading the parts.

if you liked it

then that’s great! i am happy! go on you can start reading part01, just keep in mind that early parts are rough since the website didn’t exist yet and was confined to discord 4k character limit.

the whole story needs a complete rewrite since these parts were way more personalized to my good friend.

i can’t lie to you the parts are rough, especially in the beginning, i try my best to catch typos and grammatical mistakes as i proofread but that doesn’t mean i don’t make any. also since the story is still under heavy development sometimes the parts have inconsistencies, if there’s a case of that i made sure to clearly explain the changes in the part.

again eventually™️ i will rewrite the entire things into clear chapters.

(also sometimes there’s formatting errors but uh, you didn’t see any, ‘kay?)

if you didn’t like it

i’m still glad you took your time to read this, please do tell me what you didn’t like about it as i am constantly looking for feedback.

also i would heavily appreciate you didn’t really keep the link around after that, i don’t really wanna transfer to a different subdomain/ or domain.

anything else?

if you have questions about stuff i didn’t mention here or just in general, you are free to hit me up on discord, since shortening such a loaded “intro” a single 30 minute read is tough and i had to make compromises here to not bore anyone for too long.

or if you start reading and have questions the same goes, i am happy to talk about this project 🥳🙂‍↕️

alright now! bye!
