Background
After an environmental holocaust caused by solar flares nearly destroyed the Earth, the atmosphere is ridden with solar radiation and global temperatures have risen greatly. This catastrophe left almost every human on earth dead, devastated the environment, and caused societal collapse. Crime rates have drastically increased, and the few human beings left have decided to fend for themselves. Much of the world has seen the rise of gangs of rampaging marauders. In post-apocalyptic America, the once-stable society has become a corrupt, crime-ridden totalitarian wasteland. The few remaining citizens are either hiding in devastated urban areas or are controlled by various gangs that now rule the cities with an iron fist.
