Shane O'Lynch



Shane Edward O'Lynch was one of the several official citizens of Utopia before the explosion in the Artificial Intelligence Tower of the island, who worked as a weldor in the southern section of the city. Having had been knocked unconscious several hours before the initial fall of Utopia's glory, his contact with the infected (aswell as with other survivors) had remained somewhat scarce untill just recently.

Early Life
Shane O'Lynch was the sole child of Edward and Carolyn O'Lynch, born to them in the St. Luke's General Hospital in the county town of Kilkenny in the year of 1973 on the 25th of February. Initially growing up on their farmstead several kilometers outside of the city, the family eventually moved along with their son into the inner city where he would continue to live with his family untill the year of 1992.

Life as an insurgent
The signing of the Belfast Agreement in the year of 1998 saw the rise of a new paramilitary organization, with cells sprouting up across both: The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, calling, itself in Makhnovistfashion, the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ireland. Refusing to lay down their arms and 'succumb to the rules tailored by the British state', they continued to operate throughout the entirety of Ireland untill several of their leading figures were executed by British special forces in the year of 2011, fueling the sporadically sprouting conflicts further and eventually turning them into what could have been called a full-scale civil war, had it not been for the series of natural disasters which led to the deformation of Earth's face.

Joining their ranks during the millenium, Shane O'Lynch witnessed and participated in several of the larger conflicts that took place at the border of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland itself, including the Battle of Monaghan and the Newry Campaign, between northern Irish nationalists and southern Irish republicans such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army and its subsequent splinter groups.

Life in the city of Utopia
After the apocalyptic events that occured in the year of 2011, the world lay in ruins. Where as the vast majority of countries had either been torn apart by earthquakes or nuclear meltdowns, Ireland had been destroyed by a devastating civil war which had been moving towards this climax for decades, leaving the infrastructure of a vast majority of buildings intact on the islands south. Establishing contact with the rest of its stations, the local subsidiary of the Firm began recruiting volunteers solely for the purpose of providing residents to Utopia from all around the globe. Signing up as a maintenance weldor, Shane O'Lynch was one of the few 'lucky' individuals to be selected as a resident for the city-state of Utopia, his memory wiped clean upon arrival.
