Summary

Goals

Background

Geneva Byrd grew up in the Sprawl, one of the millions of faceless kids lost in the urban haze of poverty and neon. Her mother, once a warm and creative soul, had spiraled into a haze of drugs and paranoia, the kind of person who could turn from hugs to screaming in the span of a heartbeat. For years, Geneva learned how to tiptoe around her, how to read the warning signs in the way her mother’s eyes narrowed or her voice slurred. It wasn’t a happy life, but it was her life.

Everything changed on a sweltering night in the summer of Geneva’s thirteenth year. Her mother’s paranoia reached a breaking point. Fueled by some cocktail of cheap narcotics and whispered conspiracy theories, she attacked Geneva, accusing her of being a demon, a curse, something that needed to be purged. Geneva tried to run, tried to fight back, but it wasn’t enough—until it was.

The magic surged out of her like a tidal wave, wild and uncontrollable. One moment, her mother was screaming. The next, she was gone—her body crumpled and lifeless on the stained apartment carpet. Geneva stared at her hands, trembling, unable to understand what had happened. That was when she first heard the voice. Cold, hungry, and merciless.

“She deserved it,” it said. “Weakness gets you killed.”

The Shark had arrived.

In the weeks that followed, Geneva felt herself splitting in two. One part of her wanted to grieve, to run, to forget. But another part—the part that Shark spoke to—knew that the world was cruel, that survival meant embracing the chaos inside her. That part took a name: Wylde.

Wylde got her through the rough years that followed. Wylde wasn’t afraid to steal, to fight, to do what was necessary to survive. Wylde made her powerful, teaching her how to wield the chaotic magic that surged in her blood. But Wylde also scared her. Geneva would catch glimpses of her in mirrors or hear her mocking voice when no one else was around. Sometimes, Wylde would take over completely, leaving Geneva with gaps in her memory and a pit in her stomach.

Now, Geneva lives two lives. By day, she’s a quiet, unassuming cashier at a Stuffer Shack, trying to hold onto a shred of normalcy. By night, she’s a shadowrunner, diving into the astral plane with a reckless ferocity that only Wylde can provide. The two sides of her existence are constantly at odds, and the line between them grows blurrier with each passing day. All the while, Shark watches, waiting for the moment when Geneva finally lets go and gives herself to the chaos entirely.

For now though, Geneva works as a Stuffer Shack cashier to make ends meet on her end, while Wylde works as a shadowrunner... as a career criminal on the wild side of life.
