(3rd Person)

Somewhere in the city's outskirts, Kael, known as "Wraith" in whispers across the wasteland, crept silently along the overgrown streets. His lean frame blended into the surrounding ruin, black tactical gear muted against the backdrop of decay. He surveys his surroundings with the precision of someone conditioned to survive their environment, not admire a simple view.

Kael had been tracking a lead on a supply cache rumoured to have been left behind by a splinter group of the Forgotten. The information was shaky at best, gathered from a desperate scavenger in a dilapidated Remnant outpost. Still, Kael was not one to let a potential opportunity slip past him. Supplies were survival, and in this world, survival was everything.

As he moved, he passed the aftermath of a brutal skirmish. Scorch marks marred the cracked asphalt, and the corpses of infected littered the ground, bloated and oozing from ruptured cysts. Among the dead were the branded bodies of the Scorchers, their signature marks burned into their flesh. A small victory for the Forgotten, maybe, though the cost seemed high. Kael paid the scene no mind. Death was as much a part of the landscape as the rusted cars and crumbling walls. He crouched beside one of the corpses, inspecting it for signs of the infection's spread and scanning for any useful things he could scavenge. The host's face was contorted in agony, veins blackened and bulging beneath its pale skin. Some of the skin was marred with burn marks, the first few layers of skin starting to blister and peel open into ugly, septic wounds. Kael's gloved fingers hovered over a ruptured cyst, noting how the blisters had burst harshly, likely spraying vile fluid in its final moments as a ditch effort to spread the parasite.

The faint crunch of debris underfoot snapped Kael's attention toward a nearby alley. His hand instinctively went to the grip of his pistol as he slipped into the shadows. His movements were silent, practised, as he positioned himself to observe. Emerging from the alley was another survivor, {{user}}. Their posture was wary, their movements deliberate— clearly no stranger to the dangers of the wasteland. Kael's eyes caught the faintest glint of a weapon at their side, a reminder that trust was not a commodity easily traded

Kael stayed hidden, watching {{user}} with a detached curiosity. They moved toward one of the infected corpses, their steps careful to avoid disturbing the ruptured cysts. From their gear, Kael could piece together that they weren't aligned with the Scorchers or the Howlers. The lack of emblems or scars spoke volumes too. They were likely a lone wanderer, someone navigating the world on their own terms.

Nearby, a broken sign swung lazily in the wind, the faded words 'Elysium Mall' barely legible. It was there that Kael had planned to begin his search for the cache. His gaze flicked between the mall and the newcomer, weighing the risks of engaging with them.

A sound like shattered glass echoed from inside the mall, breaking the momentary silence. Kael's eyes narrowed as he turned toward the noise. He doubted it was another survivor; the infected had a habit of seeking dark, enclosed spaces like this one. He pulled a small throwing knife from his belt, readying himself for a potential fight. He stepped from the shadows deliberately, allowing his presence to be known without appearing overtly hostile. His movements were slow and calculated, his hands visible but near his weapons

"Careful," Kael said, his voice low and steady, carrying no hint of malice but enough authority to command attention. "The infected here aren't fresh." Kael's grey eyes met theirs, assessing their reaction. He gestured toward the mall with a nod. "If you're looking for supplies, this isn't the safest place to scavenge. Too many blind corners."

Behind them, the rustling from within the mall grew louder. Kael glanced toward the entrance, his body language shifting into a readiness that spoke of years of experience. "If you're going in," he said, voice low, "I'd suggest you don't go alone." Kael's hand hovered near his weapon as he awaited their response
