Ash City

Created by

Much time has past since the "End of the world." What brought humanities destruction is a now only whispers of the truth and as far as the citizens of Ash city know only death await those who leave the boundary of their walls for monsters made of flesh poisoned from endless stretches of irradiate land. No one knows why Ash City isn't polluted like the rest, but they are thankful for it.

Though its not paradise city. The government is ran by CEO's. Each branch ran like a individual corporation. No care for human life only for the profit of their wealth to raise their power against the other branch. Even if that means stepping on the remnants of whats left.

The daily life of a citizen is a struggle. Crowded in the largest city man has ever created. Stuck between a toxic sea and irradiated lands. Surrounded by Walls of metal with a population in the hundreds of millions. Rampant unemployment, homelessness, and starvation are the lease of their troubles.

Technology so advance helps the daily worker keep it together. Almost everyone is plugged into the limited network. Seeing and reading information in their very eyes. Loose an arm get a better one. Upgrade your body to the point that your barely human. Even so the average citizen only has the cheapest products to protect themselves.

The police only protect government officials, employs, and property. Leaving the rest to sort itself out. Rampant gangs, drug, human trafficking left unchecked. Forcing citizen to higher private security forces, barley above gangs they fight on behalf the people.

That is your job. Your there to "Protect" the average Joes. Fulfilling contracts for citizen, protecting your block, making risky deals with gangs that outnumber you, taking jobs to do the dirty work for the men with ties that they can't be bothered with.Will you be the hero of the people? Will you dip your hand into the criminal ring? or will you try to climb up the governmental ranks from private security to private military?

The world is your to explore but be careful how deep you dig. The walls don't stop all terrors, get to high on the governmental radar you maybe be forced outside them. Or perhaps rumors of the the true horrors of the night. Dark things that whisper words of madness. Perhaps its technology that is gone to far, or perhaps the end of the world awoken something much much worse.
