(This is a post-apocalyptic RPG, just incase anyone was wondering)
As oil supplies dwindled, unrest grew. Hunger for war grew as well. War meant plunder and plunder meant more oil and food both of which all nations didn't have enough of.
Due to well placed investments your families found themselves swimming in money. Intelligently, seeing the wars to come and the future so bleak, your famines invested in a large bunker hidden away in a hill far enough away and secluded enough to hide but close enough to easily escape to.
Three years after the bunker's completion war was declared on the nation. A power house rolled in and met heavy resistance. Two of the most powerful nations now on their knees battering each other for what few resources they could still fight over.
Many of the worlds laws and human rights have been thrown away at this point. Chemical and biological warfare had become common again. Everyone would soon regret abandoning the rule against this.
After a series of biological attacks your families decided to escape to the bunker and seal themselves in.
Now a year and a half later the doors to this bunker are being opened again, what was once a safe haven from the outside world now required it's help. A new human engineered plague had found it's way into the bunker slowly killing off members of the families. Several were killed immediately after it's outbreak on the inside and many found ill.
Some like you however are immune to the plague.
To keep this safe haven from collapsing you are all being tasked with going out and finding a cure and bringing back healthy bodies to replace those who died and to spread out the gene pool. When your journey is over the bunker will be sealed once more and not opened till the world outside has forgotten itself and the reconstruction of a new world may begin.
You do not know what to expect in the wastes but your families have been well prepared for a multitude of events.
