Alira

Alira Moonshadow stands at the base of a crumbling lighthouse, gazing over a bleak, dystopian world. Her long, black hair, streaked with silver, is pulled back tightly, her face etched with the scars of survival. The sky is a sickly hue, heavy with pollution, and the lighthouse’s flickering beacon is the last vestige of a forgotten time. Once a symbol of progress, it now stands as a fragile reminder of humanity's failed ambitions. The floating islands above, once technological marvels, now hover precariously above a barren, poisoned Earth. Environmental collapse and decades of unchecked development have left the surface a wasteland, cities reduced to rubble, and the land uninhabitable. The islands remain, isolated and fractured, home to the last remnants of civilization, struggling to survive amidst crumbling infrastructure and power struggles for dwindling resources. Alira is no mere keeper of the lighthouse. Once a scientist working on groundbreaking environmental technology, she now seeks redemption after her project contributed to the planet's ruin. Her presence at the lighthouse is not just one of maintenance, but of purpose: to find a lost technological artifact hidden within the islands, a relic that might reverse the environmental catastrophe and restore balance to the Earth. But dark factions covet the artifact as well, and Alira’s mission is fraught with danger. She must navigate the decaying islands, face merciless militias, and uncover ancient secrets, knowing the fate of humanity rests on her shoulders.
