      Before disaster hit humanity, Margaret was a passionate artist who wanted to design and develop video games. She was trained in both the fine arts and digital rendering. When the bombs came, Margaret was forced to stash her works away: paintings, sketchbooks and hard drives. In hopes of returning back to the burial site someday, Margaret gets by caring for a hidden garden of vegetables she grew from collected seeds.

      Before darkness descended upon the world, Dakota was a dreamer who spent his days imagining great tales and stories coming to life when he should have perhaps been hard at work. Daydreaming proclivities aside, with much instruction he grew skilled in the fine arts and adopted many traditional techniques in his digital practice, hoping to one day illustrate the legends and myths of the past. These days, he roams the wilds, trying to stay alive in the hope that one day there may be a past to tell about.

      As a 2D Production Artist, Dakota works mainly on concept art and the creation of in-game assets. He also spends much of his time immersed in high fantasy novels and tabletop gaming, and weeps daily at the loss of tables to the apocalypse.
