Lush forest turned into desert, The sea turned into a radioactive pool void of life.Life itself drastically changed, Plants mutated into savage beasts, the dead no longer stay dead and humans fell to the bottom of the food chain.But still everyday we wake and struggle for survival, If not we'd be eaten alive by some savage nightmare or even each other.This is our story.

Name: Sylviana (forest) Ceres (cherry) (Nickname: Sylvie)

Gender: Female
Race:Human
Job: Medic / Nurse
House: A small hut but commonly stays over elsewhere tending wounds
Personality: Gentle and sweet, she's seems a bit out of place in such a dark world but not too many people are complaining about her willingness to help most anybody. Secretly, she's deathly afraid of the mutants but tries to hide it.
Other: Depending on the current level of technology left, her methods / effectiveness can possibly totally vary, from a futuristic beam relic that cures wounds to a simple needle and thread, or even something more primitive. But really depends on what the overall scene would be but I wanted to establish some sort of humanitarian character in a not so human world. Carries a weapon but only in self defense. Complete pacifist.

The sun beat down heavily against my back as I knelt in the dirt looking for anything salvageable. I was caked in sweat and dirt and my hands burned from digging up scrap metal all day.

I sat in the middle of the cage and rocked back and forth. I hated the day since i could never see, in absolute darkness i could see vague outlines but the sun stole away my crisp clear vision. I was bored and wanted the sun to go down so I could go out without being in danger.

I look around and notice a lone zombie in the distance, one zombie wasn't much of a problem but where there was one there was more so I needed to get out of there. I stuffed my finds in my side bag and began to head home.

It was close to the time for the sun to set. I could feel it as my eyesight began to return. I got up and started getting my things together. It was close to the time for me to go find food.

The sun was going down, I had to hurry. It was an unspoken rule that humans were not to be caught out after dark. Once the sun sets we were dead.
