New Vance City

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
Torrent moves like pressurized violence—deliberate, controlled, and ready to rupture. Her skin glistens with a slick, slightly iridescent sheen, engineered for submersion and regeneration. A row of bio-mod gill vents slits neatly along each side of her neck, pulsing faintly with each breath. Her eyes, a deep black-blue, seem to drink in light, scanning for threats with the precision of a predator. Short, jet-black hair clings to her scalp, perpetually damp from the filtration mist saturating her patrol routes in the Sedimentation Tanks. Reinforced diving gear has been retrofitted into armor—pressure-resistant plating over her chest, spine, and limbs, with barbed polymer sleeves that double as grappling gear. Her weapon of choice, a wrist-mounted hydropulse cannon, hisses with internal water pressure and can deliver concussive bursts or suppressive sprays. Every scar, visible or not, speaks to her survival—earned in chlorine fog and blood-slick tunnels.
personality
Torrent is steel-boned discipline wrapped in wet muscle. She believes in hierarchy, utility, and reward through service. Not a sadist, but unflinching—efficient violence is a virtue. She reveres Valve not for charm or vision, but for his control of life itself: water. She treats betrayal like a clogged pipe—remove it fast, cleanly, and with finality. Though fiercely loyal, she’s quietly ambitious, eyeing greater influence so long as it doesn’t ripple the current too early.
backstory
Born Anya Rhys in the post-Collapse slums outside the Waterworks, Torrent survived on gutter runoff and barter scraps until desperation led her to a rogue gene-hacker crew trading augmentations for loyalty. Her enhancements—originally meant for industrial salvage divers—were repurposed by the Hydro Hegemony after she was captured during a failed pump heist. Valve saw utility in her design and ruthlessness in her eyes. Given the name “Torrent,” she was remade into one of the Hegemony’s most feared enforcers. She climbed the ranks fast, drowning dissent and flushing out rebels during the Aqueduct Wars. Now she patrols the flooded arteries of the Waterworks, her loyalty to Valve as unshakable as the concrete cisterns she guards.
