Backstory Premise:
They weren’t meant to team up.
But they each owe a debt to the same myth-shrouded figure who vanished during the Great Fracture Heist—a crime so perfect, it ripped reality and left behind only clues sealed in god-coded vaults. Now they hunt down lost myths, rogue tech relics, and fractured legends… one impossible score at a time.
