Lore: Having been born into a golden age, the children grew up surrounded by nature’s wonders and thriving communities. They’ve only just woken to find this paradise reduced to decay and struggle to grasp what went wrong.

The Elderly Man
The Elderly Man
Description: Contrary to expectations, the elderly man is far from wise and solemn—he’s irreverent, cheeky, and bursting with misplaced energy in the post-apocalyptic world.

Lore: Back in the peaceful world, he was a reserved, solitary figure who sold odds and ends from his home to make ends meet. His days were quiet and uneventful, and he often described himself as “old and waiting for the inevitable.” However, after waking up in the ruins, he’s found a new lease on life, claiming that the chaotic world suits him better. He refuses to take anything seriously, much to the frustration—and amusement—of those around him.
