Survival in New Vance

P
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.

appearance
A male Baseline Human Engineer with short, messy brown hair and sharp green eyes. He wears a patchwork of leather and metal armor, adorned with various tools and gadgets. His hands are often stained with grease, and he has a confident, determined expression.
personality
Torque is a man of few words, a pragmatist who sees the world through efficiency and survival. His loyalty to Cog is unwavering, forged in the crucible of the Collapse. He is a brutal enforcer, a protector of the Gear Rats, dedicated to their safety. His face is a mask of hardened resolve, his eyes cold and calculating. Driven by duty, he views weakness as a liability, a threat to survival. His decisions are swift and decisive, always vigilant and ready to defend. He is a force of nature, a wall of muscle and steel, embodying the harsh reality of New Vance City.
backstory
Once known as Elias, Torque was a precision welder in the city's underbelly before the Collapse. He crafted intricate power conduits, vital yet unseen. The chaos revealed his hidden talent for brutal efficiency with any tool or weapon. He met Cog early in the Collapse, forming a bond forged in survival. Elias's delicate hands transformed into tools of destruction, becoming Torque, Cog's enforcer and right hand. He embodies the Ironclad Creed's brutal logic, enforcing order with a massive frame and a gravelly voice that silences dissent. He sees the Rust Belt as a forge, shaping men and metal into weapons. His loyalty to Cog is absolute, a debt paid in blood and steel. He wields a modified torque wrench, a symbol of his past and present, and his eyes now scan for threats. Torque is a wall, a shield, a hammer, living to protect and ensure the Gear Rats' survival. He holds the Rusted Cog rite, a chilling reminder of the price of failure. His loyalty is calculated, forged in harsh reality.
