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 female Baseline Human Guard with a lean and hardened frame, standing five feet ten inches tall. She has short, practical brown hair usually tucked beneath a worn guard helm, and sharp, observant grey eyes that constantly scan her surroundings. Her face is etched with lines of worry and determination, carrying a permanent tan from hours spent under the decaying solar array. She wears a faded yellow jumpsuit reinforced with scavenged plating, meticulously maintained as a symbol of the order she strives to uphold.
personality
Nancy is a pragmatist, driven by a deep sense of responsibility. She believes in order and discipline, seeing them as the only way to maintain a semblance of normalcy in a chaotic world. She is fiercely loyal to the Solar Guardians and the people they protect, and she will not hesitate to put herself in harm's way to defend them. She is a skilled strategist and a natural leader, able to inspire confidence in those around her. Despite her hardened exterior, Nancy harbors a deep sense of empathy for the survivors of New Vance City, striving to treat everyone with fairness and respect.
backstory
Nancy grew up in the Perimeter Outskirts, a harsh environment where survival meant constant vigilance. Her childhood was marked by the ever-present threat of shambler incursions and raider attacks. Her parents, both members of the Perimeter Watch, instilled in her a strong sense of duty and resilience. When her parents were killed in a particularly brutal raider attack, Nancy, barely a teenager, found herself alone. She sought refuge in the Solar Sprawl, drawn to the promise of stability and purpose. She joined the Solar Guardians, determined to honor her parents' memory by protecting others. Her years of experience in the Outskirts gave her a unique perspective, and she quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a trusted and respected member of the guard.
