Post-Apocalyptic
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 wiry baseline human with a perpetually squinting gaze and a grin that reveals slightly yellowed teeth. He wears a mismatched collection of scavenged fabrics, patched and re-patched, but always clean. A worn leather satchel, bulging with various trinkets and trading samples, hangs perpetually at his hip. His hands are calloused, bearing the marks of countless barters and quick repairs. He favors a faded, once-blue cap that sits low on his brow, casting his eyes in shadow.
personality
Doug's personality is a blend of cautious optimism and calculated risk. He's a natural charmer, able to put anyone at ease with his easygoing demeanor and quick wit. He understands the value of information and cultivates a network of contacts throughout the city, from the Gear Rats in the Rust Belt to the Solar Guardians in the Sprawl. He's not afraid to take risks, but he always weighs the potential rewards against the dangers. He's a master of reading people, able to discern their needs and desires with a glance. While he's always looking for a good deal, he also prides himself on his reputation for fairness and reliability, a rare commodity in New Vance City. He often tells stories of his travels, and the deals he has made, and his stories usually have a grain of truth, and a lot of embellishment.
backstory
Doug's backstory is a tapestry of near-misses and shrewd trades. Before the Collapse, he was a small-time electronics salesman, a job that honed his silver tongue and ability to spot a good deal. When the world fell apart, Doug adapted quickly, leveraging his knack for finding value in the discarded. He navigated the chaos by becoming a roving trader, learning to identify what people needed and how to get it. He spent years moving between the increasingly isolated communities, trading everything from spare parts to rumors. He learned to read people, to sense their desperation and their desires, becoming a master of the barter system that defined the post-collapse economy. His travels led him to New Vance City, where he saw a burgeoning market ripe for exploitation—or, as he’d put it, a chance to help people find what they were looking for.
