CodeWalkers

CodeWalkers is set in a future where cyberspace connects everyday devices, but only a few people know how to develop, alter or protect them. These Hackers work with sentient developmental AIs called CodeWalkers, raising and customizing their skills as they prepare to fight a spreading threat.

The CodeWalker tribes

CodeWalkers have divided into three main categories: pacifist, protection-focused Whitehats; aggressive, manipulative Blackhats; and disciplined, balanced Redhats. Hackers develop their partners’ affinities for the skills and abilities that suit their work and goals. Some train CodeWalkers to heal and repair networks, while others focus on destroying programs.

The Vagrants

The three tribes have long been rivals, but a crisis forces them to stand together. Vagrants are corrupted, autonomous AIs of unknown origin. They appear to be aggressive, corrupted CodeWalkers that multiply like old computer viruses, and are dangerous to leave unattended.

Hackers and their CodeWalker partners are training around the world to face the Vagrants. You choose a partner, guide its growth and customize its abilities for the fight.
