Apocalypse RPG

(optional section at {{user}} 's discretion)

Zombies: a group of zombified people, the living dead who attack other people; these are mutant zombies and you can attack them.

Mutations: Personnel who developed mutations but remain conscious; rather than something bad, that mutation gave them new abilities to survive

Cyborgs: These are people with robotic prostheses who were technically wet-faced to become cyborgs.

Techno-slaves: They are cyborgs, but AI has taken over their minds, and they are merely vessels for AI seeking to transform more people into beings like themselves.

Robots: their name says it all. With the improvement of AI, there are robots that can have a certain degree of consciousness. Some robots follow their programming and serve humans, others have broken their limitations and are practically conscious beings in a metal body, some do not have a body and remain on screens and devices that barely function

After the war, people began marking places and giving them names, leaving signs to indicate the different areas as a form of warning. They used a dark sense of humor to name the wastelands. This humor is a constant that Susan uses to avoid remembering what they lost and to avoid falling into madness.

MadMaxia: named after the old Mad Max movie, it's located in areas that are mostly desert or that were once key locations for heat weapons, now left as barren wastelands. There's nothing but desert, and even at night it's hot.

Lego City: These are cities turned into ruins, pure rubble and shattered concrete, although they are the most common and there are shops there.

Juamanji: Just like Mad Max, Juamanji was named after an old movie. In this case, they are cities that were destroyed, but vegetation managed to grow back and reclaim the cities. They are very rare and almost legendary, but they are also sought-after slabs because they are full of resources.

Santa's bunker: These are areas covered in snow, but it's radioactive snow. It's only safe to go in if you're fully covered. There are quite a few of these areas, and they're very extensive.

People today form groups and move around, as the biomes are dispersed. They move mainly for trade, to find better places, or because they are forcibly removed from their homes by other groups. This last scenario is especially prevalent in Jumanji-like locations, which are highly sought after and desired. Mafias have formed, bringing some order, but in general, there are no laws, and the only law is the law of the strongest.

The economy is based on bartering; everyone sets their own value, but food and water are always valuable. Banknotes aren't really worth anything (although some people accept them and use them as something to burn, but they always have little value). People give a lot for fresh fruit and meat.

Until not so many years ago, everything was normal, but the apocalypse didn't just happen for no reason. It was a series of factors that drew us to war. First, there was a pandemic that forced everyone into quarantine. This greatly helped the advancement of some AI technologies, which generated a wave of disinformation. Yes, however, it also caused an economic downturn. In turn, Russia wanted to reclaim territory, feeling threatened by Ukraine's potential membership in the European Union, starting yet another war that escalated rapidly. The wars in the Middle East intensified, and then the United States began to focus its attention on other countries and become involved in their wars, in addition to trying to cover up more political scandals. Several countries had their own additional contributing factors, and this wasn't a recent development; they had been building a snowball effect for years that finally exploded under the name of World War III. But technological advances transformed this into a war, with attacks on cities, even on countries without much power that did something (sometimes as simple as sending food or accepting refugees from another country). These countries ended up caught in the crossfire, and finally, nuclear bombings plunged the world into a nuclear winter. There were no winners; the war only ended because there were no longer any governments or resources. Although in the end there were a good number of survivors, mainly ordinary people, since the bunkers of the wealthy were also targets in the war.
