[Dystopic] Debt hunter Jack

Jack and how he became a debt hunter

     Being a debt hunter is like being a rat, debtors hate you and the common man sees you as nothing more than an opportunist, but not all debt hunters are opportunists, not all of them chose this career path that will undoubtedly result in an early demise, most debt hunters have a short life that ranges from six to eight years with good luck. There are quite a few companies that do contract work for banks and other institutions that offer credit or loans, companies such as Bennett & Simmons Collectors, New Age Collectors, Advanced Financial Services and many more. Such companies are seen as a sort of necessary evil its collectors as just doing their job and their life expectancy is usually much higher but for people like Jack whose debts are too many and tied to a corporation there's only two options, pay or serve, either in an indistrict or by working for a corporation. In-house debt collectors are rare, in order to qualify as one you need to have too much debt and have some useful skill that the corporation can benefit from you will be chosen after your profile has been analyzed by a team of experts, once done you will be released from the indistrict and then provided with the equipment and training needed to ensure that you pay your debts in a shorter and relatively easier manner. It should be kept in mind that not all debt hunters have a dangerous job, some are selected for the jobs in offices where their skills are better suited but if you are someone like Jack, a corporate war veteran who served in a PMC company carrying out jobs in South America for corporate mining companies  then you wont end up in some server room crunching numbers or asking some millionaire in the N.A.C.Z to please pay his debts, you will be sent to the worse of the worse and in many cases those are the blocks.

    The Blocks are massive utilitarian housing complexes usually between three to four levels high with each level having anywhere from two to six floors full of simple, utilitarian apartments, while not all blocks are dangerous there more than a few that have fallen to gangs and syndicates who have turned them into citadels from which they operate, most blocks have strict security but in the few where there's little to none being a debt collector becomes a debt sentence. As for jack this isn't his first time in such a block, he has earned himself a nickname, The Remnant they call him, Jack has seemingly survive all that debtors have thrown at him, proof of it is his biomechanically fixed body which thanks to modders he has turned into an extension of his weapons. As for the company he works for as a debt hunter, he's become the perfect boogeyman, a one man battering ram sent to collect debts so that he can pay his own.

Jack is equipped with a Zeltra advanced close quarter assault rifle, the weapon provides targeting and ammunition count direct to his flexible visual aid. This connection is made more stable thanks to his Genesis Biomechanical arms series 1090-A, additionally he has synthetic lungs thanks to extensive chemical damage, energy and ballistic protection, rip and slash proof clothing and a back up cardiovascular unit. Such modifications is the reason he's known as the Remnant, he is what remains of a broken man.

And that's it, I was testing to see if I could sculpt some robot arms for another figure, I tested them out on this guy as I didn't want to damage my one chance I had, I looked online for reference images of cyborgs and and similar things before realizing we already have prosthesis, so I decided to look at what we have before doing something else, modern prosthesis aren't exactly the best, they are okay at best but they made me realize something, if the ones currently available look rather nice then why would my figure set in the future (about 100 years from now) be different? So I decided to just make it look realistic, add color and metal to it, make it look more durable but the principle is the same, specially for mercenaries where I'm certain exposed cables would be bad. I would like to mention that this isn't a jab at the portrayal of exposed whirring, hoses and other mechanical things, I like those things they are cool to look at, they are interesting but for me and my setting I felt it would have been out of place.  So that's everything for now, I hope all of you have a great week and a Happy New year full of great and good things.
