Characters & World

Lani & Cowboy

The pair at the center of the story — and the world that keeps testing them.

LANI

The Reason To Keep Going

Sharp, stubborn, and impossible to write off, Lani brings heart and nerve to a world that has very little of either left. She and Cowboy know they're lucky — because when everything goes sideways, they can count on one another.

  • Quick-witted
  • Fearless
  • Moral compass

COWBOY

The One Who Gets Them Out

Weathered, stubborn, and not much on giving up, Cowboy carries scars, regrets, and the responsibility of getting them through the next bad situation. The road keeps getting worse. He keeps moving anyway.

  • Weathered
  • Loyal
  • Dangerous when cornered

Character art is faithfully recreated from creator-supplied comic pages and official TOME references, preserving Lani and Cowboy's canon designs, clothing, weapons, and visual identity.

The world

Where the story lives

A western skeleton wearing an apocalypse: enormous distances, scarce water, and small communities making their own law.

  • Dead towns

    Main streets still lit by whatever power somebody scavenged. Doors open, nobody home, and a reason for that.

  • The marauders

    Organized, territorial, and entirely rational about it. They're not chaos — they're an economy.

  • The monsters

    What came after the collapse doesn't follow the old rules of what should be out there at night.

  • The road

    The only shared institution left. Everything in this world happens because somebody had to travel.
