The world has ended—and not in the way many thought it would. Where many thought it'd end with the sun or a manmade plague, it actually fell in waves. The first came in the form of political unrest. The second, a chain of battles that escalated into a world war, which left the earth scorched and with little food or water. Famine followed, terrorizing the land until finally... silence.
During World War 3 (often called the End of Wars), a major nuclear power plant was set off in Japan. This caused the world's ecosystem to collapse, creating a massive food shortage.
Now, the planet is hardly habitable with harsh summers and even harsher winters. Storms are out of control and completely unpredictable and society has long since died. Those who survived either lost their minds or their humanity.
The first wave began in 2025 with political unrest. Citizens in various countries were being enslaved, executed by government officials, and held captive in their country as a result of corporations taking over the political landscape.
This led to a globally-scaled revolution in 2026—the people against the government.
Outside countries involved themselves to offer aid to the people, believing that it was only right for them to turn against the hands that oppressed them. Soon, what was separate revolutionary battles in separate countries escalated into a full-blown world war—World War 3, or the End of Wars.

The Scourge have been driven mad by radiation poisoning. They are extremely unstable and dangerous, often shot on-sight because of their unpredictable nature. Most Scourge aim to eradicate humanity, claiming that they are carrying out God's will.
Once someone has been sent over the brink, there is no cure. There are a small population of Scourge who are lucid, however, and are just dangerously unstable.
Wretches are lone survivors who don't belong to any group. They are actively hunted by SERAPH for them to "detain" and "employ". Wretches who are caught by SERAPH and refuse service are often publicly executed to keep SERAPH soldiers in line.
This series is based heavily on the Christian Bible while also using themes from The Handmaid's Tale and Fallout.
