New Vance City

Once a drill-bodied mining colossus designed to punch through tectonic plates for deep-core extraction, Fallout the Scrap Titan now slumps against the Chem Zone's corroded skyline like a dead god of iron. Its drill arm is fused into the earth, crusted with hardened slag and chemical foam, while the other limbs hang limp—gnarled with rust, chain cabling, and welded scaffolds from countless scavvers. The Gear Rats worship Fallout as a holy relic of destruction and excess, an idol of both reverence and utility. They hold rites beneath its irradiated core, offering up tech scrap and burnt offerings in honor of "The Coilfather." Despite the toxin winds and acidic rain that peel flesh from bone, contests still rage to recover its heart-stuff—titanium servos, reactor rods, and neuroplasma cores. But the deeper one digs, the weirder the hum. Some say Fallout isn’t dead. Just dreaming. Waiting for a new ignition.

Fallout looms like a titanic, decaying insect—its carapace a tangled mess of armored plating, oxidized rivets, and burst coolant veins. A collapsed mining rig twisted into a spinal arch splits its midsection, while great steel jaws—its drill mouth—remain partially open, yawning into the irradiated crust below. Vapor curls endlessly from rupture points along its sides, mixing with the Chem Zone’s ambient fog in oily spirals of green, bronze, and sulfur yellow. Acid pools sizzle along its feet, while scorched banners of the Gear Rats flap from makeshift scaffolds bolted into its chest cavity. Rusted ladders and winch elevators snake up its limbs, leading to lookout nests stitched from chain-link fences and hazard cones. At night, the Titan pulses faintly from within—an internal aurora flickering through bone-deep seams, like breath trapped beneath metal skin. It is part factory, part ruin, part shrine—and all warning.
