'For some, this was the beginning..
For others, it was the end..
For them, it was just a feast..
For me? It was just another day.'
Author Unknown
Welcome, to probably the only real 'city' around in this desolate ruin we call home. And incase you've forgotten in your seclusion and attempts at survival, it ended on October thirty-first, 2012. And right now, it's May seventeenth, 2021. You've spent a looooong time away from home... let me help you get aquainted to what is what around here.
THE CITY
Welcome to the city, of which it has no real name, and yet it has many of course. A few are Sanctuary, Haven, -Cough- Miniature hell -cough-, but for now, I call it home. It makes sense to me anyway. But that's enough of that, it's time for me to really explain it. The city itself is a large area, of which we took several ideas in mind; No we really didn't, all we really cared at the time was clearing every undead freak out of the city; and tried to fit in as much room as we could, before we built, 'The wall'. The wall well... just look towards the edge of the city. It's a giant literal pieced together wall of metal, all put together by cannibalised cars, planes, and hell even a few buildings while we were at it. But don't think it's flawed, just because it looks scrappy. I've seen my fair share of freaks literally bash their heads over it and not even make a dent.
Oh sorry, I was getting off course again. Now, the city, it being surrounded by 'The Wall' is divided into different sectors.
Here, just take a look at this book we scrapped together for easy explanations.
THE DISTRICTS
here are in total, Eight districts.
{Short List}
District One - Market District
District Two - Housing District - Poor to Average Wealth Class
District Three - Housing District - Wealthy and 'Important' person Class
District Four - Security and Military District
District Five - Production District
District Six - Heavy Labor District
District Seven - Scavenger and Search Team Headquarters
District Eight - Attempted Agriculture District
{More Detailed List}
District One - This district merely consists of several stalls, buildings, and about any other way a merchant or shop-keep can store and then sell his or her goods. This district is mainly where most items are bought, purchased and of course found.
District Two - This district is about where anyone and everyone lives. But because some of us were just so unfortunate to not hold onto our money as tightly as our lives, they ended having to deal with conditions probably worse than of what they dealt with out of this city trying to survive on their own.
District Three - This district, is where the 'Important' people and of course the wealthy live here. Their living conditions are pretty much better than even the entire city.
District Four - In this district, a makeshift replica of a standard class military training camp has been created here, and this is where security and military members train each other and new members in a attempt to create a force capable of keeping 'Home' safe long enough for us to get a new generation started.
District Five - In this district, a factory or two had been found, and by luck a few people happened to work with them. Granted a bit slow, they are now being used to create objects of use for the city, as well as other buildings set up for workers to go and work to create things such as clothes, blankets, all the stuff required.
District Six - This is where all the workers first go to start the day, before moving onto more intense and heavy forms of work.
Such as mining, construction, and of course large scale demolitions and renovations.
District Seven - This is where both the search and scavenger teams come to check in, before heading out on their given duties and missions. There are rumors that a laboratory is built underneath the HQ.
District Eight - This is where a group of survivors are attempting to turn land that has not been touched by years except by freak feet, into fertile land for natural food production. So far... results have been.. not reassuring.
{Scavengers}
These are the people who sadly cannot fit really well back into society, having grown used to searching and grabbing what they can to survive. These people, go outside the city and search the landscape for supplies to bring back. There are six different Scavenger teams, of which there are five members each, and a leader per team.

In a way, searchers are the same as Scavengers, but instead of being sent to look for supplies, they are sent to find people, and survivors. Their teams consists basically the same as the Scavengers, five members, and one leader per team.
