Thank you for this very informative and helpful answer!Good question!
So the natural disasters began around 2012, but humanity was convinced that it was just global warming. Between 2012-2020 the disasters only got worse, with repairs being incredibly expensive in industrialized areas. Money that a lot of government's didn't really have. Going from occasional to consistent, people felt hopeless, some even dared to riot even though it was pointless. To add onto this, people slowly found out that there are beings that exist alongside them that weren't necessarily human. Rumor has it that it's hard to say that they were extraterrestrial or celestial beings. Around the year 2031-2033 these creatures have started to attack human beings. There is no telling if the government has known about them or not. There's no record that states that they have as far as your character's are concerned. This makes things awfully difficult for the diplomatic and historian roles. There's rarely a single person who is still alive from the generations that existed during the years 2012-2033 because mortality rates are declining due to the natural disasters which does include viruses that require medicine people are currently lacking.
The current year is 2077 which indicates that the generation born between 2059-2077 only have information that they need to know to survive. Everything about Earth back then passes through word of mouth the same way religion did in the Mesopotamian Era. In fact, you could say that this dystopian era is a bit similar to the Mesopotamian Era. There's nothing that is urban that is functioning. Gasoline? Gone. The chances of having gasoline is 30-40% out of 100 and declining.
So it's not likely for your character to travel around on a motorcycle, yet, and at the moment we're not aware of any other 'gang's. There are thieves, but not really gangs or groups of bandits yet. We've recently decided that we're going to be starting this off with a small group of people traveling together with the intent to settle down somewhere after struggling to come across other humans and essential resources. We don't really know how high in demand gasoline is either because your characters do not know of any cities or towns or villages that could possibly have access to gasoline. Should your character(s) be accepted, and there are some things that contradict what was mentioned, in the CS we've accepted, then we can definitely discuss that and merge these details into the plans that we have for the RP.

To add onto this there isn't a currency. This has yet to be determined - put into place - in the world of the RP itself. Right now there is only one known settlement that you're all aware of and that is the main characters. If you want to make it so they know of other settlements that's also fine, but that's how we're starting things off. None of the NPC's that neon reverie and I will be controlling will know of any other settlement.
Also, it hasn't been very long - i'd say a half a year since the natural disasters have ceased from chaotic to neutral. A trauma that your characters would most definitely have is an unsettling fear for storms that do come and go naturally, every so often if nature wills it. If this helps.
