Backstory
Who would have thought the world would be in this state. Not me that's for sure. Look at it. The damn civilization has just completely collapsed. One tiny announcement and the world goes from shitty but working to barren wasteland in a matter of months. And it's all thier fault. If they'd just stayed in hiding like they had for last oh ten thousand years we'd all have been fine, but no. Those damn freaks had to come out and try to change things. What am I talking about you ask?! Have you been living under a rock or something? Oh well.
It all happened seven years ago. January.17th 2013 was the date. The T.V's all started broadcasting something going on and then there were all these politicians clamoring about how war was going to start. It came because of the shapeshifters. They wanted to try and live with humans in peace so they decided to reveal themselves. How stupid could you get? They changed in front of everyone on the T.V. to show us and then their leader came on and announced how he'd like to try living in peace with us. That worked pretty well the truth be told. For a good two months nothing went wrong and then it all crashed and burned in one second. At the final peace conference to sign a treaty that would give the 'shifters land and other such equalities with us an assassination happened. Two actually. The son of the leader or the 'shifters and the U.N. head. It was so quick. Two shots, to thumps, and one world war the likes of which had never been witnessed before.
The 'shifters blamed us for their 'prince's' death and we blamed them for the death of the U.N. head. That was the beginning of the end. The war started small. Just certain parts of the citizenship attacking each other. The it started to escalate and that's when bombs started being dropped. We outnumbered them sure but they had wonderful advantages over us such as strength, sight, hearing, and anything else an animal does better than us all wrapped up in a human body along with the ability to reason. We were outclassed. It took nothing short of a bullet to the head to kill them. You shot them in the arm and they just get pissed. What joy. In months the world had collapsed and that was how it all ended. WMD's ended it. Weapons we wanted to use on them are what killed us. Irony could sure kick you in the a** pretty hard when it wanted to.
Well. That was it. In seven months the world became a wasteland with very few cities left. Some of the world is so affected by the WMD's that it's uninhabitable but this all doesn't mean the war has stopped. Oh no. Even now we murder each other because it's been ingrained into us for seven years and now that the world is destroyed all we have left is the fighting.
