Editing SidewaysLLCSurvivor (section)

== Background ==

By the time Jonah was born, nobody could rightly say how the machines had attained sentience, let alone why they decided to turn against us. That was all academic, and the young girl grew up in a world where there was no time for questions like that. She watched her friends and family die in front of her, but through it all she managed to escape each time, to fight off the attackers. Many people around the world did, but over time their number declined until she was the only one remaining.

Out of some technological alchemy, through the fires of combat she had been forged into a true warrior. But that was doing her no good, and she didn't have long left when help arrived. The famed hero Jungle King stumbled upon her Earth in one of his escapades, along with the hyaenodon genius [[SidewaysLLCScudamoreCheese|Scudamore]]. Together, the three rallied and figured out a way to escape this world (truth be told, Jonah mostly punched robots and left the figuring out to these two) and bring Jonah to their home dimension.

Adjusting to a world where humans lived and thrived was a culture shock for Jonah. She took a few jobs, but was invariably fired after she made some blunder or offended the wrong person. Her stint as a security guard for the Unnature Reserve is still spoken of fearfully by researchers who remember her breaking up a fight by hospitalising both combatants.

At the end of her rope, Jonah was approached by a group named Sideways, who promised her a role that would let her put her talents to good use, and help people while doing so. Feeling lost and adrift in a world much less violent than what she's used to, Jonah happily accepted, taking the codename Survivor and preparing for her first mission into the unknown.
