Hello! The ATF dev team has been working hard on a new update for Deep Winter. Here's a lore we wrote up for you to read. If you have any critiques or ideas feel free to PM one of us! This is the first forum post of two.
[SECOND PART: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=208125725]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For all intents and purposes, this is a separate universe from the main storyline. The only reason this is so, is because Southside can't exist in both. In this universe, Southside is just a pre-flash rural town in Georgia. Fort Shad is just an average military fort. The Den is just a post-war settlement.
GENERAL LORE
In 2032, the world turned to atomic fire. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Asian Continental Military Force ended their long, brutal war with an enormous nuclear exchange. This turned the world dark, launching humanity into a long battle with a devastating nuclear winter.
The radiation has created gross beasts of odd proportions. They have been driven insane by their sickness, and hunt out those they used to be. Civilization has been rendered to brittle bonds, and survives in small dwellings and underground communities - with little supplies to spare. Rumor circulate these settlements that the creatures were the product of a post-war experiment, but former military and government officials have contradictory statements on the subject matter.
The year is 2039, in the north-western part of Georgia. The ground above is inhospitable. The air is unclean and renders those without any form of air filters crippled, or worse, dead. Some brave the cold for the benefit of the others, bringing back food and other goods for the next day. Reports of scavengers being killed or taken by mutants are slowly growing in numbers. The future is uncertain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FACTIONS
United States Civilization Preservation Force (USCPF)
This faction came into existence shortly after the bombs fell. Their origins can be traced back to the FEMA and remnants of the US military, who combined into one institution. Restoring the old American government by any means necessary and eradicating ACMF and other monstrosities created by the radioactive fallout can be seen as their main goals, along with helping former US citizens. The group currently stationed at the GA-84 plant is only a small part of a bigger force from further north. ---------------------------- Cerberus Singularity (CS)
A group of highly organized mutants who use the Cerberus Research Complex as their base of operations. Once part of the mysterious SEAL project, most of the scientists had their minds corrupted by the RAD-10 virus. They have been driven insane by their sickness and now see their disease as a blessing more than a curse, seeking to spread their "race" by either abducting or luring unsuspecting travelers into the depths of their bunker, where the "Infestation" awaits them. They are responsible for most, if not all of the monstrosities who roam on the surface, preying on humans. ---------------------------- Asian Continental Military Force (ACMF)
One of the groups responsible for the Flash, the Asian Continental Military Force had invaded the United States before the bombs fell. Now these men struggle to survive in their enemy's homeland. Some of them deserted and try to live normal lives with great prejudice, while others are still fighting despite the war being long over. The survivors of a paratrooper battalion from further south has approached the area, looking for others from their military. They decided to settle down in a group of old, abandoned tanks. ---------------------------- Sewer Dwellers
A rather large group of survivors who took refuge in the underground sewage system north of Southside. They appear to have a better standard of living compared to most people, with clean water, food, and rather complex medical equipment like deradiators. Living under the constant threat of mutants, some inhabitants feel as if they are never safe - even with the constant guard patrols throughout the tunnels. ---------------------------- Bandits
Once normal, law-abiding citizens (or not), those people have turned to crime in order to obtain their supplies needed to survive. Most are seen on the surface, holding up in barricaded rooms and buildings by themselves or in groups. The radiation along with the polluted air has changed their minds and bodies to a small extent, but they are still human. ---------------------------- Mutants
People who, along with the radiation, have been affected by RAD-X. Most of them have lost their minds or have had their bodies deformed by their illness, such as extra limbs, loss of hair or excessive bone growth - while a few of them retained part of their intelligence.
At the time of this post, this is currently the most in-depth guide on mutants and their types: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=208125610
