This is Sara Wade. She’s wearing her ninja garb, as this is in the game, the Only Shadow.
In the real world, Sara is quite the computer nerd. She works for Jack Lhasa as a set designer. Shes responsible for all the little details of Japan in The Only Shadow.
In Only Shadow, she’s a precise killer. From this vantage point, she watches as two other kunoichi clash below. Biding her time, she’ll strike the victor, as soon as they relax in victory.
Only Shadow
The Only Shadow is a fiercely competitive game in the VR universe of Exoteric. It takes place in a Japan that is several hundred years from now. This Japan is ruled by a totalitarian shogun. He has outlawed the practice of ninjitsu, making it punishable by death.
Players take on the role of one of the last practitioners of ninjitsu. They were brought into this martial art by their parents, or other close relatives. Taught in secret, by necessity.
Now, the last surviving Kunoichi, are hunting each other down, in a desperate play to be the last standing.
The Only Shadow is a massive PvP competition. Players must stay off the authority’s radio, while constantly watching for other ninja who may be stalking them. The game runs in seasons, and each season players have only one life. If they are defeated in battle, that’s it. They can reenter after a winner is crowned and a new season begins. First place receives a very large monetary prize that is dependent on the number of players who join in that particular season.
Extraordinarily popular, perhaps because of the incredibly high stakes, more players join every season.
