In the distant future year 20XX, an alternate timeline where arcades never went away... you're an aspiring gamer searching for esports glory on the Fist of Discomfort 2 Pro Tour.

## Characters
### Seeker
The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat... you've known both. All your life you've used your natural aptitude to dominate at competitive video games to fill your hours with conquest after conquest. Working from the same hand-me-down computer you had as a kid, its guts replaced again and again to the point of becoming the "PC of Theseus," your current game of focus is the worldwide phenomenon known as Fist of Discomfort 2. But playing with online randos, well... not exactly the best experience. And with an officially sanctioned Pro Tour on the horizon, maybe it's time to look into being recruited into a team that can take you all the way to the top...
