Biography:

‘Jack’ is a young warrior born and raised in a time when civilization is flourishing. She is strong, ambitious, and wants to earn the respect of others. As a warrior living in a time of (mostly) peace, opportunities to perform great feats in battle are few and far between. However, in the rare chances that she does get to prove herself, Jack has always emerged victorious. This has impressed many tribe leaders and they are currently considering allowing her to join their ranks.

To Jack’s disappointment, some leaders are having reservations about this due to her youth and/or tendency to act rashly. In an attempt to sway the opinions of those who doubt her, she frees the malevolent river god Aku from his imprisonment with the intent of killing him in combat. She nearly succeeds but the god manages to cast her into the future before she can end the battle.

The Future takes place 700 years later. The world is a flooded wasteland dominated by Aku. Jack emerges from the time portal disoriented, with no recollection of her battle with Aku. She resolves to find out the events that led to the current circumstances and return to her original time period. Throughout her journey, Jack must adapt to the current time, defeat monsters, rescue human survivors, and eventually confront Aku.

*The player only knows as much information as Jack when she is in the future, and will find out alongside her what happened that caused this timeline to prevail.
