'Origin of Proxies'
The idea of the Proxy wasn’t a recent concept, but it was a recent adoption.
Remotely operated robots had existed since the field of robotics itself. Applying it to a humanoid form was the next logical step. The human body is fragile, while a robot can be as strong as it is built. Whether it be in a burning building, the bottom of the ocean, or the vacuum of space; machines are expendable, yet durable.
The same applies to a world now void of the air once breathed. After leaving it abandoned for decades, humanity decided it was time to reclaim the world that had once been theirs.
It started out with crude, homebrewed automatons scraped together from years-old parts and controlled via jerry-rigged radio connections. They weren’t pretty, but they got the job done, and they were successful enough to capture the imagination of tech savvy outpost-dwellers around the globe. As the incentive grew stronger and society reestablished its presence, 'Proxies' became a respected guild and cultural icons within the communities they served. Scavengers, pioneers, peacekeepers, scientists. All could apply to a proxy operative, depending on the job.
The recovering industrial complexes did quick work filling the market demand for dedicated hardware and software for proxy operatives. Quickly over was the age of the proxy jalopy, and in its place came the sleek, personified robotic hotrods idolized today.

Yeah, I'm not happy with this one.
This past week idk why but I've just felt 'off'. I didn't really have a vision of how I was going to put this together. I was planning on editing together a little collage; both with the image shared above symbolizing the early age of proxies - along with some "advertisement" posters showing what proxies had since become. But, as I've said before, graphic design isn't really my forte, and they were all just turning out subpar.
If you fave, comment as well
