A Young boy barely tall enough to be at his knee. He looked extremely malnourished with even a few bones jutting out of his fragile skin. He had black hair and blue for one of his eyes, but the thing that stood out the most was his bionic eye.
Then he spoke.
" A cyborg."
As he said that I could see him backing up and looking at me in horror and fear as if I was gonna eat him or something.
"Its ok kid I ain't gonna hurt you".
As I said that he stared at me as if I just said something completely foreign to his small mind.
"What are you talking about my mom said that all cyborgs were evil."
You can visibly see him deflate at that. It seems that his mom didn't like his eye.
"What are you talking about all cyborgs aren't evil after all at one point we were human too you know. Plus according to that eye of yours it seems your technically a cyborg too."
As you say that you can see him getting madder and madder until eventually he explodes in anger.
"What do you know about me?! You weren't there when they kicked me out of the village! you weren't there when my father Saved me from them by holding them off! You weren't there when my mom tried to kill me for this THING in my eye!!"
All you could do was look at him in sadness as he broke down crying.
"Your right I wasn't there when that happened, but do you think your father would want you hating yourself over something you didn't do?"
You watch as he stops crying and looks at you in both hatred and strangely gratitude.
"Now then kid can you tell me where I am exactly I seem to be lost."
He looks at you in confusion as if you just said something just as odd as I wont hurt you.
"You are in the Michtlen forest near the village of nostroburg in the Empire of Nolanhasburg."
"And the year?''
"AWW 2341 after the war of the machine."
Well it seems that your in the right time period at least. You can remember you daughter telling you all about the lore of the game whenever you weren't doing anything important. It would seem your only a year late into the games release.
Anyways after confirming the date you looked at the boy and looked at his stats.

He seems to have pretty bad stats though that halving of all stats is a pretty big debuff. Any ways once you get done looking at his stats you turn to him and ask him if he wants to join you.
"What why would i ever want to go with a cyborg??"
"Because I can protect you, cloth you, and feed you."
As you say that you can see him thinking about it for a bit before he gives you your answer.
"Ok i'll go with you until we find my dad."
