Game Name: Salvatore (Italian for Savior)
Setup:
Year 2008:
Japanese scientists working in the field of nanotechnology in an attempt to cure cancer accidently create the first intelligent virus. No one knows exactly how or when the virus was released, but within six weeks, 99.9 percent of all living things on the earth are dead. Only a few immune survivors exist across the globe.
Year 2013:
The days of racial, religious and political hatred are gone. There are only two groups of people in the world; the evil and the good. Migrating to their own kind since the day of devastation, people have banded together in small groups in order to survive. Supplies and patience are growing thin as tensions between the groups grow.
The good stay mostly underground these days, hiding from what would be certain death if they were to be discovered, and come to the surface only when necessary for food and supplies. The surface is home to the evil ones. They are up there planning for the future. What this future holds is anyone's guess, but one thing is certain.... it does not include the good.
Soon after the devastation, when both groups roamed freely on the surface, there was rumor of new leader, a just and powerful one who would bring order and purpose to the new world. Those rumors have since turned to frightened whispers of a ruthless and evil being, a monster who rules with death and destruction and requires men's souls.
The game:
You are Salvatore, and though you reside with the good now, you feel no real kinship with them. Their absence of backbone and failure to defend themselves sickens you. You are the only one left in your group who will still go up to the surface for food and supplies. The rest cower below, telling stories of torture and death on the surface and waiting to die.
Soon you will go up again, but you swear not to return this time. You will make a place for yourself above. If they will not follow you, then you will go alone, but you will have your own place in this new world, even if it means the destruction of the evil one himself.
