The Badlands used to be part of the big and thriving city. Actually, it was the ‘it’ place for rich people to live and work in. But one day everything changed. Terrorists attacked the city and the worst damage was done in the outer parts of the city which was now called the Badlands. Repairing the once beautiful buildings and nature would have cost too much and the citizens gave up on it. Instead, the government decided to make use of the Badlands. There were still a few inhabitable building and not everything was lost, so they built a tall barbed wire fence as well as an even taller wall on the outer part to wall off the Badlands from the rest of the city and the world. They made a decision that solved the overcrowding of prisons as well as to prevent the Badlands to fall to total ruin by having some prisoners moved into the Badlands. As a year then two and more went by it weren’t just prisoners that were sent into the there, addicts, mental patients and other people standing out in society in a bad way were sent there as well.

​

Many people died and many were killed so the criminals decided even they needed a sort of system, something to make it easier to survive the rough and dangerous life in the Badlands. They fought to select the main five leaders and started forming gangs. Some stayed on their own and some tried to lay low while others fought for their own gain regardless of the cost. After a few years the Badlands are still considered a sort of hell on earth but it became more organized in some parts where the gangs resided and there were even shops and bars (even if they weren’t your typical kind) at the center of it all. But there are still places one should avoid at all cost, places where they could lose their lives in a heartbeat if not careful and there are people who were born in be Badlands as well they live in a separate part of the ‘city’ as far away from the gangs and killers they could get but exactly because of that many of them die since often they cant reach the supply's in time before the gangs do.

​

The Badlands get regular food and supply’s, as well as basic medical kits (its basically just a glorified first aid kit) deliveries, brought once a week with small airplanes, the things are loaded into crates and dropped out of the airplane from a low yet still safe distance to land in various different locations. Its first come first serve and if you aren’t in a gang the supply's are harder to get since you usually have to fight for them. If you don’t get what you need for survival on the ‘drop off days’ you will have to scavenge or plunder/fight other people in order to get what you need or risk dying. Some gangs can be traded with, they demand you do them a favor in exchange for what you asked for (the severity of the favor, of course, depends on what a person asked for and on the gang leader).

Our characters can either stick together (thinking safety in numbers) or end up on opposite sides, join a gang/gangs etc... that is up to you. (Also I know the photos aren't close to the same style but please bear with me, it wasnt easy to find the ones I wanted, I will switch them if I happen to find any better suited for this and which are more alike in style)
