-{{Backstory}}-
The cold, brown snowflakes are stinging your flesh. You couldn't imagine this happening in your city. But it did. The city of Olinge was once thriving, many people living. But now, just a few others and yourself can tell the story. You take in a deep breath, your mouth taking in the terrible snowflakes, and possibly, the blood of the townspeople. Maybe, the story went like this:
You wake up in your cottage. The sun is trying to shine, but for weeks Olinge had been having blizzards. You put on over clothes, and grab your shovel eagerly. You trudge out of your door, while hearing the mush of snow under your boots. You reach the middle of the town, and look at the beautiful scenery.
You stare at the bare trees, the green grass, and the hares. You turn your eyes to the bar. You slowly, think about all the nights you've spent letting the burning liquids swallow you.
Just then, you see a sudden ember that licks up the bar. It's slowly inhaling the trees, and the wooden fences. It has trouble encasing most of the things, because of the hard snow hitting the ground.
At that moment, people start to panic and run. SWAT teams come and beat the living crap out of anybody who dares to try and get out of the middle. A riot is slowly forming, and by then the fire has taken four buildings in total. The teams raise their batons, and strike anybody they can find.
You suddenly feel a sharp pain on your back, but knocked to the ground before you can find where it came from. It continues, but stinging every part of your body. The snow is shielding your flesh, but only by little. It finally stops but you hear the sound of gunfire all around.
You snap back into reality. You lift your gas mask back over your head. Another thing you got after the brutal beating. But, the flames and burnings happened one month ago. Maybe everything's different.
-{{Olinge Overview}}-
The town is separated into two areas. They are: The Rural Area, and The Central District.
The Rural AreaThe Rural Area is full of burnt trees, plant life, and edible animals. It's a complete paradise to live inside, but that's only if you get past the ruthless killers. But after that, you have to worry about the fumes that would kill any human.
If you survive all of the killers, muggers, factions, and fumes.. You might be able to live in 'The Rural Area'.
The Central DistrictFull of burnt buildings, and criminals.. the District was once home for hundreds of people. But there are some advantages: Like the numerous water fountains, cars, weapons, and shelter.
There's less fumes, but anybody could easily slip and go into a area with them. You'd easily be hunted down by factions, and targeted by thieves.
