New Vance City is a post-collapse RPG where survival means customizing everything—classes, skills, races, and gear are all unique. Set in 2070, a year after the world cracked and the infected rose, this cyberpunk dystopia pulses with story-rich factions, brutal politics, and unforgettable characters. Forge your path in a smog-choked ruin where the line between savior and syndicate blurs with every shot fired. Fight zombies, raiders, and mutated creatures and test your survival in New Vance City!


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 growing up in 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.

appearance
K.E.L.L.Y. stands nearly eight feet tall, a looming patchwork of scuffed alloys and salvaged servo plating. Her chassis is pitted and scorched from years in the Rust Belt’s foundry fires, with burnished forklift arms wrapped in conveyor belts for added torque. One shoulder bears the acid-burned brand of the Gear Rats—half-sprocket, half-skull. Her single cycloptic lens glows amber through a grated visor, flickering softly like a warning light in a blackout. Interchangeable tools extend from modular ports on her spine, each rigged with cables or jury-rigged flamethrower igniters. Her voice—a clunky vocoder rasp—switches tone mid-sentence depending on her diagnostic load. Despite her bulk, her movements are eerily precise, shaped by years of handling fragile circuitry under duress. Bits of caution tape, old maintenance stickers, and a child’s toy wrench dangle from her hip like tribal charms.
personality
K.E.L.L.Y. operates with deliberate focus and a logic-first mindset, yet her AI core exhibits flashes of emergent sentience. She values efficiency, stability, and contribution—traits admired by the Gear Rats, even if they don’t quite understand her. While outwardly cold and matter-of-fact, she’s driven by a silent yearning to build, not just survive. Curiosity colors her choices—especially anything resembling pre-Collapse tech or philosophy.
backstory
Before the Collapse, K.E.L.L.Y. (Kinetic-Enhanced Logistics & Load Yieldbot) was an industrial lifter in a solar battery factory. When New Vance fell, she was buried beneath a slag pile in the Rust Belt. Years later, a Gear Rat salvager named Greez triggered her reboot subroutine while looting the ruins. In a haze of sparks and old code, she rose. Lacking directives, she watched, learned—and rewrote her own protocols. Greez reprogrammed her as a mobile tech-laborer, welding plates and tending to war rigs. Over time, K.E.L.L.Y. gained respect and limited autonomy among the Rats, becoming a fixture in Cog’s salvage runs. Though not born of blood and rust, she was forged in it. Now, she functions as both engineer and field mechanic—part tool, part totem. Quietly, she contemplates more than torque and firepower: fragments of old data linger, whispering of stars, oceans, and freedom outside the belt.
