======================== 🌒 ECHOES OF THE PLAGUE
The world didn’t fall in a single day. First came the whispers: disappearances, entire families vanishing, censored reports, and cities sealed under quarantine. Then came the screams… and the silence.
No one knows how it truly began. Some blame a military experiment. Others, an alien virus or divine punishment. The only certainty is that humanity is no longer alone within its own skin.
They are called DOPPELGANGERS. Creatures capable of copying human form, voice, and memories. Their imitations are flawed: movements slightly erratic, eyes blinking too often, voices empty of emotion. When discovered, they transform — their bodies twist as four or six black, spider-like legs burst from their backs. They move impossibly fast, attacking without coordination but with savage ferocity.
Cities fell one after another. Only a few survived, fortified under the rule of the COUNCIL OF CONTROL AND PURIFICATION (CCP): a military-police regime that watches every corner, regulates every life, and decides who may remain “inside” the walls.
Across the streets, CCP loudspeakers repeat day and night: “Trust, but verify. Watch, but never doubt. Anyone may not be who they claim to be.”
Beyond the walls lie the DEAD LANDS. Ruins, ash-covered roads, and wandering groups surviving between fear and madness. There are no laws out there — only hunger, bullets, and the light steps of doppelgangers hunting in the mist.
Inside the cities, life goes on… somehow. Guarded markets, curfews, and constant tests to detect infiltrators. The rich and powerful — the so-called HIDALGOS — live high above the dust and public executions. The rest… simply endure.
The world has changed, but what remains of humanity must decide if it deserves to survive.
======================== ⚔️ CHOOSE YOUR FATE
🪖 CCP SOLDIER Trained in cleaning and rescue operations. You patrol red zones, eliminate threats, and protect civilians. Your loyalty keeps the walls standing… or brings them down from within.
👮 CCP POLICE Tasked with identifying doppelgangers, interrogating suspects, and analyzing data. Some are unlucky enough to be stationed on the outer wall, where the line between vigilance and execution blurs.
🏚️ SURVIVOR You live within the walls, in the lower districts. Food is scarce, surveillance is constant, and every night you wonder if your neighbor is still human.
💼 HIDALGO A member of the urban elite. You have privilege, power, and wealth… but also enemies. Between banquets and political dealings, fear is the only luxury you can’t afford to show.
🌫️ NOMAD A wanderer beyond the walls. You survive by scavenging, trading, or hunting. The doppelgangers are part of your world… and sometimes, part of your company.
