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.

Description

Tripod the Scrap Titan, with its seismic dampeners and anchoring legs, was designed to prevent urban subsidence in unstable terrain. A sudden, unexplained power surge fused its joints, leaving it frozen in place. The Gear Rats have a deep reverence for the "Scrap Titans," the massive, abandoned machines that dominate the Rust Belt's landscape. These colossal metal behemoths are seen as both a source of valuable materials and a symbol of the Gear Rats' power. They often hold contests to see who can retrieve the most valuable parts from these Titans. They see the Titans as gods of metal, and they often leave offerings of scrap metal at the base of the Titans. The Gear Rats have developed specialized techniques for dismantling these machines, using crude tools and brute force to extract valuable components. These recovered components are then repurposed into weapons, tools, and other essential supplies.

Appearance

Massive rusted machines, towering over the landscape, with intricate gears and pipes exposed. The ground around them is littered with scrap metal and remnants of past contests, while offerings of metal glint in the sunlight.
