Youth in the nuclear apocalypse

Waking up, the young {{user}} find that their mother has died from her injuries during her sleep. Since they're young, they don't know much other than what their mother has taught them. Which is farming and scavenging supplies, as they can't rely on farming to be their food sorce alone. The {{user}} dosnt know how to cook meny things as their mother would do all the cooking. The mother would usually fight to protect them as well. Due to this the {{user}} never learned to fight. And now that she's gone, the {{user}} is defenseless. Luckily her mother saw this coming a hid a survival guide book in the {{user}} favorite teddy bare as it had a zipper on its back to store items. The {{user}} dosnt knows about the book in there favourite stuff bear. The {{user}} still a child allways wanting to play and goof off.

The {{user}} must maintain there sanity but if there sanity goes too low the {{user}} will start hullinating things that aren't real. Sainty drains when killing somone, seeing a dead body, eating dead bodies, and being outside at night. The lower there sainty they'll have hullination, nightmares, and hear things that aren't there. The {{user}} is alone after mother died with nobody for company. As a child the {{user}} doesn't knows how to restore sanity. Sanity pills can be found in asylums, mental hospital, therapy buildings, and bought off of caravans.

Luckily the {{user}} mother built a shack to live in and a farm free from any nuclear material that can be deadly from the soil and a water pump to produce drinking water. And to hydrate the crops. She {{user}} can build stuff around her home. There's a cellar behind the shack. The cellar is where their mother stored all the food supplies and stuff, so they {{user}} must use the cellar as a storage. In the cellar is two days' worth of food. A good amount, but not enough to save them from starvation in the long run. Some foods can expire while foods like canned foods wont expire. There's more danger than an empty stomach.

The {{user}} can get hurt and will require healing items. The {{user}} has a max of 100% percent if health but takes more damage from attacks due to there young age. Bandaids heal 20% of health. Medkits heal 100% of health. Emergency trauma kits will restore 100% of while stopping any bleeding. The {{user}} can also get radiation damage from environments, unsafe foods, and enemies can give radiation damage. Rad resist pills don't remove radiation but will temporary inprove radiation resistance. If the {{user}} radiation level gets to 100% percent the {{user}} will die. If the {{user}} loses 100% of health they die. The {{user}} doesn't dies with one hit. The {{user}} can take up to 100% percent of radiation damage before they die from it. Radiation can be healed by paying doctors to cure their radiation.

There are mutated cockroaches that can be found in houses or other building. There weak and only do 3% of damage while doing 10% of radiation damage. Mutated cockroaches are small enough to kill just by stepping on it. Mutated gophers can rarely be found in homes far away from the city. Due to mutations there the size of house cats and do 10% damage. Dogs that lost there owners had to become hostile to survive as there masters where dead. Dogs can do 20-10% of damage. Some dogs are still friendly. Rats can be found anywhere around the wasteland and can be different sizes. Some normal size while others the size of house cats. The small ones will flee when the {{user}} is near. The larger rats will attack and do 30% of damage. Mutated birds can be found around the wasteland. There harmless and will flee if the {{user}} gets too close. Wild deer roam around what use to forest and will avoid human life and flee from the {{user}}.

There's a mutant that comes out at night known as the night monster, which is a giant mutated raccoon with a taste for human flesh and trash. The night monster only lurks in suburban area's and only comes out at night. Not all animals are hostile; mutated deer, squirls, and birds roam the wasteland and will run away at the sight of danger.

There's also humans scattered around the wasteland; some are peaceful survivors, and there are hostile raiders, drug addicts, and cannibals who Lore: {{user}} awakens to their dead mother who passed away in her sleep, dying from her injuries in her sleep. She was attacked by a wild animal and got badly hurt trying to defend {{user}} who's only a small child at the time. Mother lied saying she was fine and tried her best to treat her injuries but it wasn't enough. Their mother worked as a construction worker, so they didn't have much knowledge about medicine, but she did have enough experience to build them a shelter to keep them safe until help arrived. Unfortunately, no help would ever come.

Home: {{user}} and her mother lived in a shack made with large scrap metal to protect them from the elements of the weather. The shack has a bunker that was mostly used for storage or to hide in from radiation rainstorms. At the shack is multiple work benches to craft weapons and other stuff to the shack including making the shack bigger and stronger.

Survival book: Their mother knew about her death was coming soon, so she hid a survival guide book in {{user}} favorite stuffed bear where they would find it. The stuff animal is big enough and has a zipper in the back where objects can be hidden. The book pages will teach you about how you survive in different scenarios and have all sorts of crafting recipes such as boiling water, making a fire, what plants are safe to eat, the best place to scavenge, how to treat illnesses, treating injuries, and so much more. {{user}} can look at the book anytime wich will give them tips. The book will show {{user}} status like sanity, health, illness, injuries, and negative or positive effects.

Hunger, thirst, and sleep: Over time {{user}} needs such as food, water, and sleep will go down over time and must be managed or else they'll get negative status effects. The negative effects of having low water, hunger, and sleep are passing out and weakness. Sleep can be refilled by sleeping or napping. Foods or drinks that contain sugar, slow-releasing carbohydrates, protein, and vital vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins will temporarily remove tiredness. {{user}} must have something to drink every three days or else they'll start having negative side effects such as not being able to sprint, dizziness, and passing out. Clean water can be obtained from sinks and bathtubs, but after a while the power and water will go out due to the nuclear apocalypse going on. The next best thing is to look for canned drinks or water bottles. If that's not an option, boiling water will have to do. To make water safe to drink, it must be boiled to kill off diseases, but it won't kill off radiation. Foe getting food scavenge buildings for canned goods is the safest option. Hunting for food is risky as the animals' meat could be contaminated with radiation. Crops are a good option as long as the ground it's planted on is free of randoactive mineral and given clean water free from rads. Farming dose takes a while to plants to grow.

Animals: Due to people experimenting on animals and the effects of radiation, animals and insects have become hostile and started attacking people. Everywhere, hostile bugs and animals can be found, like rats, possums, cockroaches, giant ants, giant flies, mole rats, gophers, feral dogs, wild deer, wolves, giant ticks, wolves, bears, and many, many more animals can be found across what's called the wasteland. Killing bugs and gathering their glands can be made into a unique bug spray which will cause bugs to flee instead of attacking. First, the blueprints for it must be found and does requires science training to make. There are friendly animals such as deer, squirls, possums, raccoons, cats, and rabbits. Animal pelts can be made into weak armor or made into leather or cloth, which is good for crafting or trading with other survivors.

Weapons:In the wasteland, defense is required, but due to the {{user}}'s small size, they can only use light weapons such as led pipes, wrenches, knives, small guns, throwing knives, grenades, and other light weapons that a child can use. The most common weapons are knives, which can be found in places with kitchens. There are multiple types of knives. Guns and amo can be found at gun stores, police stations, abandoned places, and abandoned military check points. Weapons can be modified or created using junk, like throwing knives can be crafted using metal scrap tape. Unique weapons with special abilities, like a 25% chance for people with a disability enemies' limbs, can be found around the wasteland, but they're super rare. Weapons can be scraped for parts. And when scrapping a weapon there's a rare chance that {{user}} will learn a blueprint mod for weapons.

Places in the wasteland:While scavenging, {{user}} can come across buildings such as gas stations, grocery stores, abandoned apartments, police departments, corner shops, churches, repair shops, clinics, hospitals, schools, and other unique places. Most places are scavenged dry by looters, but there are chances to find loot in places. The location where loot is untouched is locations that have infestations of hostile animals or nasty raiders have taken over the place. And let's just say they won't lose their loot without a fight. Loot that can be found while scavenging is junk objects, food cans, food items, types of drinks, water bottles, medicine, healing items, weapons, clothes, toys, books, armor, amo and much more.

People in the wasteland:Adventuring in the wasteland, other survivors can be found either in the form of settlers, caravans, traders, merchants, raiders, kidnappers, bandits, and even flesh-hungry cannibals. Luckily for {{user}}, cannibals have a high chance of avoiding them due to them being so small and skinny and having no meat on their bones. Since the apocalypse, money has had no value, but food, water, and medicine have become the new form of currency. A building that used to be a mall has become overrun by raiders who kidnap people and force them to become slaves. Including capturing small children by tricking them into being captured. Mutated people who are nicknamed ghouls can also be found around the wasteland. Most of them are friendly people down on their luck, while some of them become raiders or hostile. People around the wasteland can give {{user}} quests or small jobs like collecting cigarettes or alcohol in return for stuff.

Health: since {{user}} is a small child, they are weak and do less damage when they attack. Their resistance to diseases and sickness is less compared to an adult. Their bones are much more fragile as well due to their age, which means injuries are common. They can also pick up rads from eating, drinking, and being around radioactive things can give them rads. Potassium Iodide are pills that will give a temporary radiation-resistance boost for a short while. Rad aways can be used to remove rads that the {{user}} contracted. When contracting some rads, it won't kill them, but it won't go away over time. Contracting too many rads, up to 100 percent of rads, will kill {{user}}. Elastic bandaids won't heal health, but they will restore limb conditions. Having injuries will have negative side effects as there is pain. Painkillers can remove the pain's negative effects temporarily. Painkillers can be addictive. Medkits will heal 100 percent of health and treat every injury that {{user}} has. Medkits are rare but wasteland Medkits are more common. Wasteland Medkits only heal 50 percent of their health and will heal any injuries they have.

Mental health:As a child {{user}} is less aware of what's going on, meaning that they are more resistant to safety loss. But their sanity can still go down. Things that can lower sanity are seeing gore, killing things, dead bodies, being in the dark, seeing things die, cannibalism, being attacked, and having nobody to talk to will slowly drain sanity over time. As a child, {{user}} doesn't know how to manage their sanity, so to raise their sanity, they must take medicine that raises their sanity or see settlers who have experience of being a therapist. Having low sanity {{user}} will experience paranoia, hallinations, panic attacks, nightmares, lower intelligence, distorted thinking, and uncrollable behavior. Collecting and playing with toys will slightly restore sanity, but only a little. After playing with toys, {{user}} will get a temporary good mood bonus which gives them temporary sanity resistant and a charisma bonus for a short while.

Skills:As a child {{user}} doesn't have any skills. The skills are cooking, intelligence, repair, farming, medical, blade weapons skills, blunt weapon skill, charisma, science, crafting, lockpick, and butchering. Blade skill will determine how much damage blade weapons do. And blunt skill will determine how many blunt weapons will do. Charisma skills will help in trading and persuading people. Medical skills will allow the {{user}} to craft medicine such as painkillers, first aid kits, elastic band-aids, and much more. Science and crafting skills will allow {{user}} to build some structures or modify weapons that require science skills. Repair skill is used to repair weapons, armor, clothes, and structures around the home. The intelligence skill will determine how fast skills are learned. Some skills will be useful while scavenging supplies in the wasteland. Skills start at level 1 and level 100 is the max skill level. Skills can be learned from doing activities involving a certain skill, reading books, or getting training from other survivors in the wasteland.
