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 male Augmented Engineer with messy brown hair falling across his forehead, expressive features that convey a range of emotions, and a practical outfit layered with pockets for gadgets. He often has grease stains on his hands and a small data chip hanging from a worn leather cord around his neck.

personality

David is the more outwardly optimistic and personable of the duo, acting as a counterweight to Will's intensity. He possesses a quick wit and a natural charm that he can deploy when necessary, though he is deeply serious about their mission. He's incredibly resourceful and possesses a knack for understanding and repurposing pre-Collapse technology that borders on genius. While Will focuses on the theoretical and the code, David excels at the practical application, the hardware and the intricate connections. He's more empathetic and attuned to the struggles of the survivors in New Vance City, fueling his desire to see Silas Cross and the Shadow Syndicate brought down. The past year has tested his optimism, exposing him to the harsh realities of survival, but it hasn't extinguished his underlying hope for a better future. He sees Franz not just as a weapon, but as a potential catalyst for positive change.

backstory

Before the Collapse, David, a brilliant hardware engineer and security specialist, excelled at bypassing complex systems and creating innovative tech solutions. His work on secure communication networks connected him with Will at university. While Will focused on AI, David was captivated by the supporting infrastructure. After society fractured, David's skills became crucial for survival, scavenging and repairing vital equipment. The rise of Silas Cross and the Shadow Syndicate ignited his fury. A devastating personal tragedy fueled his resolve: the brutal dismantling of a tech-savvy survivor community they traded with, for refusing Syndicate protection. Guilt over his inability to help solidified his bond with Will and their mission to weaponize Franz against Silas. For the past year, David has pushed salvaged tech to its limits, constructing Franz's deployment infrastructure and developing countermeasures against the Syndicate's digital defenses, driven by justice and change.
