I am interested in any Rowan worldbuilding you'd like to share for WIP Wednesday
Thank you for the ask!
Seeing as I’ve talked about Rowan, it’s only fair that I talk about Jack, next. *checks the time* Oh, no, I only have four hours to spare today, so I’d better stick to a specific subject. *throws dart*
Okay, let’s have a brief history of Jack’s company, Triumvirate Inc.
It starts with Jack Howard in his early twenties, working for Castle Tech, a leading supplier of everything “smart home”: electronics, appliances, and automation devices, you name it. (“Turn your home into your castle with Castle Tech.”) Having lots of ideas and next to zero capacity to keep his mouth shut, he quickly caught the eye of Edward Castle, the founder and fairly hands-on CEO, and successfully pitched his ideas more than once.
Until one fateful day when, during a customary monthly pitch meeting, Jack came forward with what he thought was a damn good design for more efficient power cells that would greatly extend the service life of the many Castle Tech products… and was shut down from the get-go. And then a few times more, every time he’d try to bring the idea back up again during that meeting, until he had to fake an emergency phone call and leave the room. (It was that, or get in the CEO’s face in front of a dozen other people.)
Even that walk-out was enough to get him in trouble, though—or so Jack thought, at least, when he got a message summoning him to Castle’s office the next day. The man didn’t seem mad at him, though. But then he brought up Jack’s power cell design again, and…
“Your idea definitely has legs, but I’m afraid Castle Tech is no place for it just now. You probably know that we get all of our current power cells from Senate Energy. What you don’t know is that in exchange for the prices they give us, we have an exclusivity clause with them. For the next three years, we can’t buy power cells from anyone else or manufacture them in-house.”
“So you want me to put my idea on ice for three years?”
“Actually, I was wondering how you’d feel about working on your design outside of Castle Tech.”
“Are you… firing me, Edward?”
“Good lord, Jackie! No, I’m offering to invest in you.”
Thus, with a dream and ten million dollars, Triumvirate Inc. was born. And yes, Edward Castle is the only person in the world who is allowed to use that nickname for Jack. Anyone else who wishes to refer to Mr. Howard as ‘Jackie’ had better have a check for ten million dollars ready. (That is not a joke. There was at least one lawsuit.)
Of course, with a company name like that comes a frequent question: are there three founders? And all Jack will say to that is,
“Absolutely. Me, myself, and I.”
(The true and secret origin story of the name of Triumvirate Inc. is, Jack really wanted a name that sounded cool and was some kind of one-up on ‘Senate’. Because when you've got ten million dollars for a start-up, you can afford to be as petty as you like.)

WtW Ghost Gala: Day 15 - Black Cat
Flesh out your antagonist: who are they? what are they? what do they want?
Many of the hurdles in the way of Jack and Rowan being together / reuniting are external and impersonal: after all, they are separated by a literal apocalypse. However, once they find each other again, the biggest obstacle in their way is probably Jack's employer and technically owner (this version of him being an android: free-willed, but not emancipated), the Agency, further personified by Jack's direct supervisor Richard Thornbridge.
The Agency is a collective that had grown out of the remnants of pre-apocalypse NASA and denizens of the moon colony who got stranded there when life on Earth went sideways. 200 years post-apocalypse, it's a small society formed by the descendants of the original engineers, astronauts and moon colonists. They’ve done very well for themselves in the past two hundred years, especially after making great strides in robotics, creating increasingly advanced machines to fill in for humans in more hazardous jobs. The Agency’s biggest problem, however, is that they are still stuck on the freaking moon, and the various risks that come with that isolation. Their greatest, yet unfulfilled ambition, is to re-establish a two-way link between the moon and the earth.
Until recently, the Agency's more immediate issue was ensuring the continuing operation of the unique reactor that powers the colony: its design documents had been lost to time and space, and as bad luck would have it, the original population of the colony was sparse on energy specialists. This problem, however, has been addressed by retrieving the digitally-preserved memories of the engineer originally responsible for its creation, one Jack Howard, and implanting them into a lifelike android, who is now employed as the Agency's chief engineer.
Richard Thornbridge, the Agency's head of robotics and its de-facto leader, and the man who gave Jack a second lease on life as a self-aware, free-willed android. More Victor Frankenstein than Noonian Soong, Thornbridge has no love for his creation, and is especially worried about the consequences of Jack having free will. Being aware that Jack's human prototype was a brilliant, ambition and charismatic man, Thornbridge feels threatened, worried that, given time, Jack might decide to challenge him for leadership of the Agency.
(During earlier stages of the project, Richard argued against including that feature in the android's design, but all attempts by the Agency's AI techs to extricate only useful information from the digital backup of human Jack's consciousness have failed.)
As the continued existence of the moon base hinges on Jack's continued cooperation, Thornbridge keeps his true feelings to himself, and takes every opportunity to reassure that, unlike other androids at the base, Mr. Howard is not property, but a highly valued employee. However, he keeps a close eye on Jack's work, hoping to accumulate enough information about the reactor's workings to eventually make Jack obsolete, and decommission him, putting a stop to the fraught free-will experiment.
