New Vance City

P
Pollution

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
Siphon is a wiry silhouette of a man, draped in layers of faded synth-fabric and modular tarp cloaks stitched with patches bearing old corporate logos and water-stained tags. A web of translucent tubing snakes around his body—looping beneath his arms, across his chest, and into the lining of his boots—connected to hidden pumps that clink softly when he moves. His eyes dart constantly behind a pair of grime-specked tactical goggles, which he rarely removes, giving him the permanent look of someone scanning for escape routes. His gloves are patchworked and fingerless, revealing twitchy hands adorned with injection scars and picklock calluses. His boots leave wet prints from internal condensation, and every layer he wears conceals a secret pouch, smuggled ration, or forged permit. To most, he looks like a leak with legs.
personality
Siphon is a rat-like opportunist with a mind like a sieve for secrets. He’s cautious, calculating, and fully committed to survival over ethics. Charisma isn't his weapon—utility is. He knows who’s sick, who’s thirsty, who’s stealing flow, and who can be bribed to look away. Though officially aligned with the Hydro Hegemony, he has no ideological loyalty—only a pragmatic fear of Valve and a relentless hunger for leverage. Trust him only if you own his next breath.
backstory
Before the Collapse, Rhys "Siphon" Vask was a low-tier infrastructure scavver, stripping defunct filtration plants and selling hacked purification chips to the highest bidder. When New Vance drowned in panic and thirst, he survived by knowing which pipes still carried clean water—and how to tap them without tripping alarms. Valve’s rise turned freelancing into suicide, so Siphon bent the knee, trading knowledge for protection. Now he walks the gray zone between loyal servant and double agent, whispering secrets through rusted valves and selling droughts to the desperate.
