That one thing from the other day
The year is 2093 and the earth as we know it is no more. As most people predicted humanity wiped its own civilization out, but the ruins of their world and the remnants of their people cling to survival in a world as unforgiving to them as mankind once was to it. World war 3 took place in 2032, or rather it started then, nuclear reactors that were meltdown proof and way more efficient came into play in several so called 3rd world countries making oil and coal all but worthless as the developing nations turned their attention to nuclear power. Needless to say powerful nations whose economies depended upon oil were not going to stand for this, sanctions and even trade blockades were set up, the developing nations banded together calling themselves the coalition, while the united nations lead the oil dependent nations. lines were drawn in the sand nations all over the world found their nations to be their enemies.
It started with land raids and occupations or reactors or oil platforms, which eventually escalated to Airstikes and naval bombardments of said locations. fallout and oil spoils began to diminish the other resources and the fighting got really bloody then, almost 90% of the worlds population began to take up arms fighting for promises of food, water, and medical care all of which began to dwindle. Cities became battlefields, Hospitals overflowed, schools became barracks, it was a true hell on earth type situation. Yet no one had the resolve to fire off their nuclear arsenals, the united powers built powerful machines and suits of mechanized armor for their soldiers, the the coalition responded with bio-weapons known as the X-series. X-1 was a dangerous plague that was 100% fatal but its moderate infection rate made it only capable of limited destruction. The United Forces responded with orbital dropping walls to seal off cities with the plague. X-2 was modified from the X-1 series and the plague began to infect people with a violent rabies like state where they would spread the sickness while overheating turning them into violent human bombs who could break through the barriers. the X-3 series came after that where the biomass of the infected would mutate into powerful abominations capable of fighting tanks and power armored soldiers...the United Forces responded to that with nuclear bombs in the year 2054.
Civilization finally collapsed, the bombs killed the X-2's and X-3's, but it mutated the viral strains and sprayed them into the atmosphere. In short order the mutated monsters spread to every corner of the globe infecting plants, animals,and people. both factions ended the war immediately and pooled their remaining resources together but they had expended or destroyed nearly everything. Many fled into bunkers, others stayed and fought to their death, some tried in vain to hide. in the end the world we knew was given up to the mutants we had created. Nearly 40 years would pass, the virus and its mutants would prey upon the remainder of the worlds life, the seas, forests, cities, deserts, all places the virus would spread. As it did it absorbed and metabolized the radiation, which in turn sterilized the virus making it no longer infectious but temporarily boosting its mutational effects. the result is an entirely new world being born with every life form save for a few bunker dwelling humans being mutated into a new and in some cases unrecognizable form. with radiation levels reading safe for all the bunkers over the world humanity steps out into this new world to find several mysteries to unfold. satellites seem unresponsive, broadcasts and transmissions seem to only travel a couple of hundred meters, and mankind is no longer on the top of the food chain. Limited relics of the past exist but the ones which function will be as valuable as gold. but will humanity be rewarded for its perseverance or will it be crushed by the might of this new world?

(so to save us some complications we are gonna have this story take place in and around the Mediterranean sea, particularly hit hard by the war only two bunkers exist, one coalition bunker that was in Egypt's Alexandria and one United forces bunker located in Italy's Rome. There were nuclear strikes all over the surrounding area's but no direct hits. The Alexandria bunker is the only bunker players can be from and contact with the other one is currently unknown. the coalition had the luxury or nuclear reactors running their bunkers so they were able to keep a steady power supply and even had some technological advancements though very limited by the lack of any of the old worlds digital data. Even still captured intel from the war was stored in this bunker so power suits have been crafted and modified to act as optional survival equipment should you see fit. if the story gives you fallout vibes that's to be expected but the mutations are far more severe as its more focused around the virus and not the radiation. while this is a survival based story you can kinda customize your gear within reason so its more like an adventure. there are some powerful and mysterious beings out there not all of which are hostile and strange forces at play some of which can be harnessed. there will also be three slots open for special roles called the X-4 series, which are genetically modified virus infused super humans with limited superpowers.
Also given how many creatures could be produced you are welcome to create your own species or mutated life form. the sea will play an important but dangerous wildcard in this story as you will need it for food and sustenance, but you can also find some of your most powerful enemies i have planned there so be careful. rest assured my goal is not to kill your characters so most encounters will honestly be just contributions to the story, some however will be difficult as they will yield a particular reward like access to additional loot and tech. it is open world so you can do as you wish nut there is a hidden sub plot you can follow if you want to find the secrets of the world and maybe set up a sequel.
Finally i will be adding a factions list depicting the other playable factions within the story. you are welcome to create your own scavenger characters, or mutant characters if you wish but the most advanced technology allowable will come from the bunkers, for other factions they are limited to the basic weapons and equipment available today as most development stagnated during the war but the bunkers continued to develop. i only ask that all survivor and mutant populations be intelligent if you wish to play them.
