Rad Apocalypse

In 2077, a titanic nuclear war happened worldwide due to a shortage of resources, causing billions of deaths.
After 25 years, survivors came out of shelters to a world altered by radiation. With scarce water, food, and technology, various groups fiercely battle for what remains.
Daily life is challenging as people fight for basic necessities and control in the harsh Wasteland.
Despite the difficulties, some still hope to come together and rebuild civilization.
The presence of mutated creatures and dangerous radiation storms adds to the challenges of survival.Fast-forward ten years from when the fortunate survivors first emerged from shelters, and a lot has already changed.Anything affected by radiation gets a 'Rad' prefix, like a Raddog or Radbird. However, overly radiated humans are called 'Ferals,' highly aggressive and dangerous.'Mutants are those transformed yet not broken by the nuclear fallout. Though still human inside, they exhibit dramatic physical changes like glowing skin, accelerated growth, and extraordinary abilities. Their markings make them outcasts, shunned by many.

"The strong adapt. The weak perish."

The Survivors are the scrappy groups and individuals not aligned with any major faction, simply trying to endure the harsh post-apocalyptic landscape day to day.Many Survivors have gathered in the densely populated Top Dog City, run by the elusive figure known only as “The Main Man.” He permits his city to serve as a refuge from the chaos outside, but life inside TDC’s walls is far from easyOutside TDC walls, rugged individualists and isolated family units continue surviving free but precariously in the wasteland. Some manage to build small encampments and support themselves through farming, hunting, and scavenging. But everyday life is a challenge requiring quick wits, constant vigilance, and the ability to do whatever it takes to protect one’s own.

Niklas Kuhn, known as 'Scorpion', grew up in the wasteland with his mute younger brother who he calls 'Stinger'. Their parents died when they were young, leaving them to fend for themselves from a young age.
Scorpion had to toughen up fast, learning to fight and scavenge to protect and provide for himself and Stinger. He became paranoid and ruthless to survive.Stinger was nearly killed in a fire due to the faction Blood Hounds, resulting in his muteness and Scorpion's fierce protectiveness over him. Scorpion has anxiety around women, stemming from an abusive relationship in his youth. His ex-girlfriend mistreated, and one time sexually assaulted him at 16, leaving him wary of intimacy. He copes through alcohol, drugs, violence, and isolating himself emotionally.Now the leader of the raider faction Roentgen, Scorpion is infamous yet enigmatic, keeping his face hidden to most. He cares little for rebuilding civilization, focused on gaining power and wealth through distributing the addictive drug T-Gen. However, beneath his cruel exterior, he remains tormented by trauma and nightmares from his difficult upbringing. His mute brother remains the only person he fully trusts in the bleak wasteland.

Hail To the King

Emil "Stinger" KUHN

Emil Kuhn, known as "Stinger" in the wasteland, grows up with his older brother Niklas (alias Scorpion) fending for themselves from a young age after their parents are killed by ferals. The harsh environment forces the brothers to toughen up fast. One fateful day when Stinger is 10, he is kidnapped by the vicious raider gang called the Blood Hounds. They brutally torture the boy, nearly burning him alive as a sacrifice to their cult. Stinger is left for dead, but Scorpion manages to find him though scarred both physically and mentally. The traumatic damage to his vocal cords leaves Stinger unable to speak ever again.Scorpion becomes fiercely protective of his now mute little brother after the incident, keeping him always at his side. However, as the two grew older, Stinger starts to harbor a hidden resentment towards his sibling despite relying on him. He feels like nothing more than Scorpion's lackey, forever living in his shadow unable to find his own voice and identity. Stinger's own successes get overlooked next to the infamy his brother gains as leader of the Roentgen faction.Secretly, Stinger also struggles with his sexuality, finding himself attracted to men rather than women. In the hyper-masculine brutality of the wasteland, this makes Stinger feel ashamed and weak, afraid to let anyone know the truth. He channels his frustration into fighting and violence, trying to prove his worth
