It has been fifty years since the Fall virus first ravaged the Earth, bringing nations to their knees and nearly bringing an end to humanity as it has been known. However thanks to the intervention of the Big Five humanity was pulled back from the brink, able to survive within massive fortress cities around the globe. Within the walls of these cities humanity has retaken modern life into their hands and have begun the process to reclaim the world one step at a time.
However even within these bastions of life and progress there are dangers. Those mutated Mimic's who can perfectly take after a humans form all while hiding their sinister nature from all but the deepest of biological scans. They seek to spread the Fall virus once more and bring what little light humanity has managed to scrape out of the darkness fall dim once more.
To combat the ever looming threat of Mimics and Fallen the Big Five corporations have put together specialized rapid reaction teams that can be deployed in an instant to combat threats of Fallen and various other radical groups working within the fortress cities to pull back human progress.
You are a member of this force, a Cleaner tasked with the protection of the people from the forces that seek to mutate human life.

Important Terms
- Fall Virus- A fast moving pathogen that mutates the human body to a point where it is utterly unrecognizable and extremely hostile. Those infected by the disease either mutate into Fallen, or become the much more sinister Mimics.
- Fallen- Those who have reached the end stages of the Fall virus infection, having become living biological weapons. They are characterized by extreme durability and a single minded drive to hunt and destroy other living things. The mutations themselves seem random, but always produce a specimen suited for combat.
- Mimics- Humanoid Fallen that show an almost human intelligence and have a near infinite ability to modify their own bodies at will. They contain the Fall virus in its purest form, and can infect other living things by touch.
- The Crafted- Humans who were saved early on during infection from the Fall virus by implanting mechanical 'cores' inside of them to help regulate their systems and fight the infection within them. These cores expand wires throughout the human body, allowing various mechanical prosthetics to be attached to the body. Normally used to replace already mutated parts of the body, but some take it further as either a survival method or political statement.
- Risen- Fallen who have undergone intense surgery and drug regimens to reclaim human form and intelligence. While most early attempts ended in failure the new Reclaimer surgery has over a sixty percent proven success rate on cases caught within three weeks. Risen are characterized by superhuman physical abilities and some minor ability to control their bodies, such as reshaping bone into weapons or hardening their skin to deflect bullets. Each has a mask welded over their faces which keeps a constant flow of drugs into their brains to keep the Fall virus in stasis.
- The Pure- Slang term for humans who are free of infection from the Fall virus. The only classification of humanity that can pilot the Keeper class battlesuits due to genetic restrictions put in place by their creator.
- Keeper Class Battlesuit- A form of mechanical armor that can only be piloted by those without a trace of the Fall virus in their bodies. Towering at nine to ten feet of metal each Keeper Battlesuit is considered a powerful force against the Fallen and other threats to humanity. Each unique Battlesuit is connected to a 'signal watch' and can be deployed throughout the city in a matter of moments through use of the underground passages.
- The Church of Flesh- A terrorist organization run by Mimics that treats the Fall virus as the next step in human evolution. The single greatest threat to modern humanity. The most active enemy of the corporations and their Cleaners.
- The Next- A group of Crafted that have modified their bodies and cores to become as close to machines as possible and seek to spread their influence to other humans through force. A small group compared to the Church but still a threat.
