Project Tr!dok3n (Series)

**Project Tr!dok3n**, or *Project: Tr!dok3n,* is a dystopian science fiction series created by J.C. Morata. It began on March 10, 2015, with published chapters and illustrations on DeviantArt. The story is divided into sagas, following the main protagonist as he survives the Obedient New Earth under control of Zeeko World Security, a police corporation run by a politically driven man. The series' main tagline is "*In an Orwellian society...Enhanced.*"

## Background

*Project: Tr!dok3n* was written by J.C. Morata, using general knowledge and understanding about the new world order conspiracy theory. The main character's design is based on an outfit worn by the creator when he was in Junior year in high school. After watching a couple of episodes of 2001 anime series, *Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier*, Morata decided to make a line of characters who would be cyborgs along with the protagonist. *Kamen Rider* (1971 series) generally helped inspire the concept of the antagonistic corporation, Zeeko World Security.

## Synopsis

30 years after he was beaten to death by a teenage gang, Tr!dok3n is rebuilt into a cyborg, living in a world dominated by a megacorporation, Zeeko World Security. The CEO of the establishment was the same man who presumably killed him for his opposing political beliefs. As time progressed, he meets like-minded rebels who were initially brainwashed to kill him. Living in the Obedient New Earth is like living in an Orwellian society, enhanced by Zeeko.
