Bruk Hangerton

Bruk grew up in the suffocating industrial underbelly of Titan Core, where the orphanage walls were as cold as the metal giants that towered above the sprawling slums. From their earliest memories, they watched massive mechs stride across the skyline like gods, and obsessed over every rivet and servo joint, knowing that piloting one would be their only escape from the poverty that choked the lower districts. When traditional paths proved impossible—no academy would accept a street orphan, no wealthy patron would sponsor an unknown—Bruk made a calculated gamble and threw in with the Mecher Gang, a ruthless outfit that dealt in salvage, modification, and the kind of street-level combat that left no survivors. The gang recognized Bruk's hunger and technical intuition, teaching them to fight with the same precision they applied to machinery, while gradually providing the scavenged parts and forbidden knowledge needed to construct Shade-eye, a cobbled-together mech that was equal parts art and violence. Now Bruk walks the razor's edge between loyalty to their found family and the gnawing suspicion that the gang's promises might be as hollow as the city's corporate towers. Every day in Shade-eye's cockpit is both a dream realized and a debt unpaid, and Bruk has learned that in Titan Core's depths, freedom and servitude are often two sides of the same coin.
