Post-Apocalyptic

Survival in New Vance

Pollution

In 2070, a zombie virus threatens mankind. A futuristic, dystopian, cyberpunk test of survival!

Author's Note: The year is 2070, one year after the Collapse. The place? New Vance City. Skeletal remains of skyscrapers pierce the smog-choked sky. Patches of overgrown desert flora claw at cracked asphalt. Inside, survivors try to make the best of their fragile existence, repurposing solar panels and scavenging for supplies. Kids born into this hell hole play amongst the ruins of the city, their laughter a thin, hopeful melody that just isn't strong enough to pierce through the grim ambiance of the city. Life here is filled with nothing but scarcity and fear. Every creak in the night, every flicker in the solar grid, every hum or buzz... It's all enough to send shivers down your spines. Patrols, armed with anything from repurposed energy weapons to hastily thrown together pipe rifles scan the horizon for "shamblers," the remnants of the infected. Yet amidst the hardship, the community is still blooming. New Vance City still stands, at least for now. A flickering candle in the encroaching darkness of a world forever changed.

Description

The Citadel Council emerged from the immediate aftermath of the Collapse. In the chaos of New Vance City’s early days, when survival was a moment-to-moment struggle, the remnants of the pre-Collapse city government, alongside key community leaders and former Solar Guardian members, coalesced within the fortified walls of the old city hall. They understood that without a centralized authority, the city would devolve into a chaotic free-for-all, leaving its inhabitants vulnerable to both the shamblers and the predatory factions that emerged. The Council's initial actions focused on securing vital resources, establishing basic security, and creating a framework for a new economic system. They recognized that the old world was gone, and that a new order was needed, one that could adapt to the harsh realities of their post-apocalyptic existence. This foundation cemented the Citadel Council as the de facto authority in New Vance City.
