Apocalyptic Wonder
Not sure how to explain it but I've gotten this Idea stuck in my ahead along side several others but this is predominantly up there.
I've been really into the fallout franchise for years and titles like "Wasteland" or "NEO Survivor", Just the Idea of settlements and factions vying over for radioactive wastelands, rebuilding or scavenging nuked cities of old, find ancient technologies that seem so alien but were once made by man have always been so interesting to me.
Lately I've been combining it with a more "Cyberpunk" tone.
I've had a small story about "Tech-Hunters" running around on my desktop for a few months now, The gist is that these few "Brave" souls head into the Post-Nuclear destroyed cities of old, Bunkers, Labs you name it- of course you've the bandits, chrome-heads and the Radioactive fauna to deal with.
The Idea is that the "Augments" and technology left within these ruins are worth more than anything that could be made in modern time, Specifically the Augments; the chance to upgrade your frail human form with Pre-War Cybernetics. Better eyes, hearts, lungs, new integrated weapons, rad filters. Of course the best Tech-Hunters just so happen to be chromed out the wazoo that the frail Fleshies that start out find themselves mostly Mercenaries or scavengers.
But now there is a new competition as the Bunkers the rich and powerful had fled into hundreds of years ago have reopened and the Mega-Conglomerates of old have returned to stake claim to the New World.
Now the Poor souls are stuck between, Cannibals, New World Orders and Highly Advanced Pre-War Companies.
What's a poor bastard to do?
I'm mostly posting in here to help myself brainstorm the topic, Companies, cybernetics, Important characters that appeared over time ect. ect. And too see if such a world would be better just as a written series or perhaps a roleplays of sorts?
