"Download Me" - Dramatis Personae: Act 1 (Patreon)

As you take your seat in the theater, you look down at the pamphlet you got at the door and see the cast of characters.

It's organized by Act, rather than giving every main character and their significance at once. Your eyes drift down to the first character.

For a moment you do a double take, what did that say?

"You" are the lead character?

You look again--no, no of course. Your eyes are just tired, you read it correctly this time: "Yoo." Easy mistake, anyone could make it.

Yoo - a 20-year-old courier with a penchant for the open roads, Yoo drives his orange motorcycle both for thrills and to pay the bills. Recognizable by his orange moto-suit, black hair, brown eyes, and by his orange motorcycle.

Luna the Dog -- Yoo's loyal and affectionate companion, a brown-eyed golden retriever

 The Grins - A notorious motorcycle gang that prowls the highways of Freedom City

 HyperNova DriverBot - Responsible for operating the massive freight trucks in Freedom City that keep the digital worlds of HyperNova operational.

After that, you can read on for the general program until the curtain finally raises and the show begins.

In the not-so-distant future of 2074, humanity has become deeply entwined with the digital realm. Advances in artificial intelligence and virtual reality have transformed society, blurring the lines between the physical and the virtual.

This is the world that Yoo, our protagonist, inhabits - a young courier navigating the sprawling, cyberpunk metropolis of Freedom City. Disillusioned with the cultural obsession over AI-powered "idol" performers, Yoo finds solace in the companionship of his beloved dog, Luna, and the simple pleasure of riding his motorcycle through the bustling city streets.

But when Yoo's routine is shattered, he is forced to explore the mysterious virtual realm known as HyperNova. As he navigates the treacherous paths of HyperNova, Yoo will uncover dark secrets, forge unexpected alliances, and learn unexpected truths about his own identity. 

Welcome to the world of "Download Me," where the boundaries of reality have been shattered, and the fate of both the physical and virtual realms hangs in the balance. "Download Me" is a thrilling visual journey that will challenge your perceptions of what it means to be human in the digital age. 

Well, you could turn to the "Dramatis Personae" list for Act 2, but you sense they probably are holding off on that to preserve a bit of surprise as you progress through this story. Best to just wait for the curtain to rise at this point, eh?
