Death engulfs Valhalla. In the year 2017, two factions battle for their own sense of peace. Humans and Synthetics; a race of organic mechanical beings of unknown origin. The skilled but irreverent and wisecracking Alastor Hacon leads Blur Havok, the paramilitary force that will do anything to ensure the safety of all in Valhalla. Ryze, a talented, vengeful, and powerful warrior leads The Synthetic Legion on a zealous campaign to free his fellow Synthetics from the chains of oppression. After a crushing defeat at the hands of Ryze, Alastor must take a team of his closest allies down into a place known as The Vault, an underground bunker that holds many secrets of the past. With his two best friends and long-time crush, Alastor must stop Ryze from flipping the current power dynamic to an illogical extreme. Friendships will be tested, emotions will be revealed, and actions will have consequences… Content Warning: “Blur Havok” contains intense language, graphic depictions of violence, and references to disturbing and distressing situations and dispositions.
