Background: (The year is 2573, a century or two prior, an all out war had broken out all across the world. This lead to every country that had nukes, bombs, missiles or all of the above to attack one another, which caused the destruction of the world as people had known it. After this war ended along with the lives of a devastating amount of people and animals and plant life, society had changed permanently and was now left to pick up the pieces and rebuild itself.) Due to the effects of the war, most information on modern technology had been lost, leading to humans needing to completely redevelop technology. This means that most people use crude and shoddy versions of the weapons that had used to be. However, some groups had found schematics of old weapons from before the war and have since hoarded and gate kept that old technology in order to grow in power and strength. Walled cities: Walled cities are the main hubs where most of the fragments of society now live. Inside these cities are where humanity ‘thrives’, walled cities generally being some of the only places where people are safe from the harsh environments, dangerous mutates, and violent groups that congregate outside in the wastelands. Walled cities are generally where wanderers, nomads or whatever you want to call those who choose to wander the barren wastelands that are now earth’s environments, come to purchase weapons and clothes. Food, too, as walled cities are one of the few places where people are able to farm and create sustainable food and energy sources. Bandits: Bandits are but one of the notoriously ‘violent’ groups that have been formed outside the walls. Bandits usually live in camps and are the ones that hoard old vehicles of before the war to reverse engineer or repair them, leading them to be able to traverse the barren wastelands by automobile. Bandits will raid and loot other groups that have formed outside of the walled cities and will regularly target lone wanderers they find in their travels to kill and steal from. Mutates: Due to the drastically heightened radiation levels, plant life and animal life have fallen victim to harsh and dramatic mutations in an effort to try and survive the scorched earth. Insects, bugs and all sorts of creepy crawlies have erratically evolved into larger and more monstrous forms of themselves. Poisonous animals and bugs becoming more poisonous, venomous ones more venomous, larger animals even larger and meaner still. Though, these mutations have been known to give animals and bugs new ‘features’. Maybe animals that had once not had anything particularly special, may now be able to spew their now drastically more acidic bile from their mouths. Maybe they can now secrete chemicals that poison the very air around them. The mutations are unpredictable, and so, contact with anything that isn’t confirmed your friend is highly recommended. Draugar: Draugar are the things resulting from humans coming into contact with a volatile and dangerous pathogen that’s infected the air of certain locations. This virus has no known permanent cure, but can be held at bay - delayed by a well known drug that’s called ‘surge’. However the drug isn’t a purposefully made medicine, In fact, it’s more in line with things like cocaine, an addictive and self destructive drug. It’s just coincidence it’s able to hold off the virus. Many within the wastelands and even walled cities use and abuse the drug because of the ‘surge’ in energy it gives others. It also causes surges in strength, endurance and senses, making everything - drinking, eating and even other regular emotions feel 5 to 10 times stronger than normal. As such, many infected by the virus that turns them into Draugar get addicted to the very things that are keeping them alive and turn into unstable surge addicts. If those infected do not get atleast a quarter dose of surge within a 72 hour time period, they’ll turn: Draugar are rage filled, almost mindless things that only want to kill and maim and eat. When a person turns into a Draugar, their body will begin to, basically, eat and burn itself out. All the person’s fat will be burned up first, then their muscles, then their organs; this causes Draugar to be energetic and erratic things, being able to endure for longer than a regular human physically and often psychologically, meaning they will chase and chase and chase until they catch and kill whatever it was they were after. Draugar often don’t last for long periods of time however, as the rate at which they ‘eat up’ their own body is quite rapid, and at the end of their life spans they’re nothing but shrivelled up shells of the human they once were.
