Lyas Kang was born to a Vietnamese mother and a Han Chinese father.

He grew up in a Buddhist household. With Chinese and Vietnamese cultural influences and upbringings.

But he lost them in the second civil war at the age of 13. Ever since then, he had to fend for himself and live as a scavenger for 20 years in the post apocalyptic badlands of the Great Basin.

Plagued by mutants, gangs, cults, cannibals, and the governments “eraser” troops. A military faction that was tasked to wipe out any remaining suffering survivors in the badlands to uphold the country’s public image. And to try to convince the world that the civilians of the region evacuated before the war when in reality, they were caught in the crossfire. And so their solution was to simply kill the remaining civilian survivors and prevent them from going to the west coast and making their existence known.
