**TRUTH HUNTERS TV SHOW**

A story inside the story world, this dystopia is set in cyberpunk and eldritch magic, constantly in chaos but technology masks the trouble at hand. Regent Zero is a comic that follows three free agent rebels. All of them form a small squad their adversity in their life journeys brings them together for the fight for the common good new world they are living in. These guys by no means are pushovers, justice gets served by all means if necessary. The team is composed of three characters by the name Dex, Roni, Kayden all of which are current residents in Maine. The travels of these rebellious free agents start early on. Dex the leader of the group is actually from The Lost City of New Orleans. He eventually ventures in search of his brother who mysteriously disappeared while working his job at a power plant in Maine during 2057 The Caribou Nuclear disaster. Roni and Kayden both moved from their regions into New Orleans and crossed paths before they ever met Dex. Roni is American born and raised as well as his mother, his father came from India originally. Roni’s father vanished from the family while working on a ship sent out to cross over Bermuda. Roni’s mother's influence has made him honorable and peaceful. Kayden is originally from what is now known as the Canadian exclusion zone after the power plant disaster in Caribou Maine the radiation forced many Canadians from their homeland into these divided states of America. Kayden was separated from his family during the evacuation and sent off to live with strangers in the states. His life coming up he had to live fast and fend for himself a lot.

All of these characters meet at separate times. Dex owns a music shop inside the French quarters of New Orleans, he has a special attachment to the store because it was owned by a family friend by the name Mr. Eldon Hirsch who played a father role in his teen years.  Mr. Hirsch was the one who taught Dex his martial art skill foundation and also how to play guitar. Later as Dex grew older Mr. Eldon Hirsch mentioned he would leave the shop to him to take over. Not much is heard from Mr. Hirsch after he leaves the shop to Dex. Roni works as a botanist and constructs many rooftop gardens for residents in the New Orleans regions he is.  Kayden works on speed bikes for many racers and is also an exceptional marksman. Kayden and Roni cross paths early on as they both search for precious metals in a scrap yard one day. Kayden notices Roni’s lack of a knowledge about the metals and asks what exactly it is he is looking for, Roni goes on tell Kayden about how he is a botanist and he is looking to build a greenhouse to sustain vegetables for his own use because on his free time he cooks very well. After they meet and make their bond as friends they stumble across Dex who is practicing in his store martial arts. They are amazed by his fluidity in combat skills and decide to enter the shop. Dex could tell right off the bat that they were not at his store to purchase aa s business for him had been fairly slow. After hearing their reasoning of approaching his shop he tries to dismiss the fact that he is actually trained to fight, our other heroes don’t buy into his story and give them insight into their back story to possibly gain his trust. Dex can pick up on their need to know and want for what he knows, this intrigues him and he asks them how good are they at staying off the radar. He gives them a time to come back to the shop and he vowed to answer their questions as well as give them an opportunity to be part of something bigger ahen themselves

They all come to an agreement of forming their team Rebels of Ace and set off into Caribou Maine. Dex promises there is a location that is hidden which will serve as a checkpoint and base for them to rally back to if needed. Once they reach this location they are met with a strange sighting far off almost 100 yards out from where they need to be, taking cover they don’t realize at the time that this is actually Hastur. After Hastur passes by they all go to this underground facility that has been abandon for quite some time. Once they reach the main area of this facility its surprisingly more technological then it appears once Dex enters a few codes inside of a futuristic looking computer screen. Once the systems are operating it shows a great deal of maps of the divided states. They make a vow to bring down anything that has to do with the corporations. A brotherhood between them is formed, they gather all the necessary gear and weapons they need to venture off into the divided states of America. Before our heroes can even embark on their journey Hastur appears in the distance again. They realize it was the same thing from earlier they saw but are able to get a better glimpse. After seeing what exactly they were hiding from they could not identify it with anything human, cyborg or from what they were used too. All of them ponder what else might actually be going on in this world they are living in, they make it clear before continuing on their path that anything and everything will be against them so they must do every and anything to carry out this journey.
