The second American civil war was started with not one, but several bangs. Non-nuclear, high yield bombs were detonated in several locations to cause the most damage to the American infrastructure on April 6, 2065. The culprits were militia groups that had been funded by Korea, fed up with the current way of handling by the government. The reasons why or how such a feat was able to be pulled off aren't really as important as the events that followed.
Caught unawares at first, the American military was slow to organize a counteract against the militia as they came out of the woodwork. It was a bloodbath that took it's time moving across the nation, innocent life caught in the cross hairs.
A black site underground laboratory was operating during this time to create cutting edge technology, located in California. Despite the sudden outbreak of civil war, this black site suddenly switched gears to try and create a group of super soldiers the government could use to combat this war, despite it being against it's very own citizens. It took several failed attempts and five years before the site was able to make even one tank grown human that was viable.
Despite the success so late, most of the staff had lost hope and tried to leave. However, due to the secretive nature of the lab, they were killed to keep the location a secret. The civil war had also worn down to nothing, the country left mostly in shambles. There was nothing left of the original government and most of the major cities were left in ruin from the fighting. Since there didn't seem to be any more reason for the staff to stay and finish their work, they fled the site. Without even shutting anything down, the abandoned laboratory was left running on autopilot. The soldier awoke and freed himself a few months later.
Using the large database left behind, the soldier quickly familiarized himself with the working of the world as it was. With his purpose no longer to fight on the battlefield, he had to find something else to survive and thrive on. Thus, he turned to becoming a thief in the new world.
-------
Twenty five years have passed since the end of the civil war and the survivors of America have been trying to find a new foothold in the current world environment. The rest of the world powers had watched in horror, not really sure if they should step in to help. In the vacuum of power, three families moved to grab large patches of strategical located land to grain power. They controlled three of the large militia that had fought and came through the civil war intact.
Despite knowing how powerful the three families were, they were often targets in some way of Jacob, the tank born soldier. He had earned the reputation of a very elusive thief, getting nicknamed "Nightmare." He didn't just operate within America, but also within Canada and South America. He often toyed with those he robbed from, giving them a notice ahead of time of what he was going to steal. Though he ran into armed resistance, he didn't his very best not to kill anyone. He had made enemies of the three families, but they did find it amusing and played along with his little game. It was often a catch and release type of game, where he would steal a very valuable item before selling for profit later. The items often ended up back with their owner, at a very steep price.
His current target was the daughter of the Gabetty family, head of the Black Legion militia. They controlled what had once known as the 'Rust Belt'. Their family home was located in Youngstown, Ohio, smacked dab in the middle of the zone. He had sent them notice that he was planning on stealing their most prized treasure, keeping things vague to give them a challenge, in only a week.
Five days had past since he had given noticed. As it was, he was waiting in a little cafe in Youngstown, sipping a glass of water at a small table in the back of the cafe. No one really knew what he really looked like, as he always had a disguise of some sort. Since he wasn't on the job so to speak, he didn't have any sort of disguise on. As it was, he wore a plain white t-shirt and a pair of jeans, his hair slicked back. He leaned back against the back of the booth, watching the patrons of the cafe as they went about their day.
