Post-Apocalyptic

Survival in New Vance

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 lean man in his late twenties, with a wiry build honed from navigating the precariousness of post-Collapse life. His most striking feature is his perpetually serious expression, framed by sharp cheekbones and intense, intelligent grey eyes that seem to constantly analyze his surroundings. His black hair is kept short and practical, often slightly disheveled as if he's been running his hands through it in thought. He favors dark, functional clothing – reinforced scavenged jackets, patched-up cargo pants, and sturdy, silent boots – prioritizing practicality and blending into the shadows. Scars, thin white lines across his knuckles and forearms, tell silent stories of close calls and salvaged tech gone wrong. He often has a multi-tool or a disassembled piece of hardware within easy reach, his fingers instinctively fidgeting with the components.

personality

Will is driven by a fierce intellect and a deep-seated sense of responsibility. He's analytical and methodical, approaching problems with a logical precision that borders on obsessive. He can come across as reserved and even a bit cold, preferring the company of code and schematics to large groups. Underneath this detached exterior, however, lies a strong moral compass and a fierce loyalty to those he trusts, especially David. The Collapse hardened him, forcing him to make difficult choices, and he carries the weight of those decisions. He has a dry wit that surfaces occasionally, usually in moments of intense stress or shared understanding with David. He's impatient with bureaucracy and inefficiency, preferring direct action and elegant solutions. His focus on Franz is absolute, viewing the AI as their best chance to truly make a difference in the chaos of New Vance City.

backstory

Before the Collapse, Will, a gifted AI postgraduate, and David, a fellow tech enthusiast, bonded over neural networks and decentralized security. Isolated in a university lab near future New Vance City during the cataclysm, they accelerated the development of Franz, initially a data analysis tool. Witnessing the brutal rise of figures like Silas Cross and Valve, and the tragic murder of allied survivors by Syndicate enforcers for scavenging, ignited a quiet fury in Will. This event transformed Franz's purpose, shifting its development towards becoming a weapon against oppressors. The past year has been a desperate clandestine effort, marked by scavenging for scarce components, evading perilous factions, and secretly refining Franz's capabilities, all fueled by grief and an urgent need for justice in a fractured world.
