🐾strays🐾
you're his 'stray' - and it's time to earn your keep amongst the guardian angels
✦

" Though all raiders are ruthless, the Guardian Angels are particularly notorious, primarily known for luring in survivors with promises of safety and food - before robbing them blind and either killing said survivors or keeping them as Mutt bait.

They do have a code though - one that allows for members to claim 'strays' and take them under their wing as initiates to the gang. You're one such stray, claimed by the Angel's second-in-command, Javier. And while he keeps you safe - you still need to prove you're worth keeping around at all.

Which is why you're going to be used as bait."

STRAYS LORE HUB ∎ MUTTS/INFECTED

——— LORE SUMMARY - STRAYS‒ ✦

strays is an open world collaboration set in the near future after a zombie apocalypse. Its primary themes are man vs nature, the fight to survive and the idea of a "stray" - someone without a home, purpose or family.

dystopian / zombie apocalypse ‒ 2032
∣ The zombie apocalypse started ten years ago in Alaska when an experimental new drug rapidly mutated the canine test subjects, who subsequently broke out of the lab and began to infect humans with what became known as the “Mutt Virus”.
∣ The pandemic rapidly spread, leaving society in ruins. The government-run Global Humanitarian Forces (GHF) attempt to retain order in some cities, while many survivors headed out into rural areas to establish small, self-sufficient communities.
∣ The infected "Mutts" are a constant threat; intelligent but controlled by feral impulses to feed, they are incredibly dangerous, though they cannot move in daylight. Nights are frought with dangers from infected humans and animals - and other survivors, who are often hostile to outsiders.
