The year 3958, after a grand war, weapons of unknown power were used, but there aftermath was clear, most life was ended, and what did live went through a hell, polluted water, mutated animals, twisted wildlife, short lives were expected. some people banded together, for what they felt was best, others went out on there own, the rest got together, and attacked others just to take what it was they had for themselves, even capture them and use them for slaves,
The war was expected, so there were several fall out shelters made, ones that would be self sustaining for thousands of years... if everything was well maintained, everything was recycled, the air, the water, even the trash. the people all were forced to get a job the day they turned 12 to keep the place running.
those who lived through the war and went on made a home from the rubble, scavenging for everything and trading for what they couldn't find. eventually enough people came together to make a town, though it was made from debris or the remains of a building, and they always found it hard to get along with new people as they could mess with there whole way of life.
Raiders, the ones that people hate hearing about, they come in and take everything from people, even what little freedom they had, there weapons, money, food, and there very lives. selling them to others to make there life more simple. Some raiders extort people for "protection" others would sell drugs or even take them making them far more unpredictable
