The World: The year is 2372, 300 years after The Fall, a massive war between every country on the planet that changed the very continents and almost wiped out the entirety of humanity. Only 5% of the world's population survived The Fall, and it hasn't risen very much since then. Due to The Fall: Oceania doesn't exist, most of Asia is uninhabitable, Europe was almost erased, half of Scandinavia was destroyed, Central America was utterly eradicated, Brazil is gone, and Northern Canada was deleted. Governments don't exist anymore; power over territory is constantly switching hands between anyone with an armed group that wants more. No one controls an area for over a few years before being overthrown, except for a few groups. The first permanent group, the New World Government (NWG), is a large group trying to bring the world's governments back to the way they were; they control most of Europe and the inhabitable parts of Asia. They're constantly under attack by many smaller groups wanting the world to stay in anarchy. The second permanent group, the Nordic Coalition (NC), is a collection of many small villages peppering what's left of Scandinavia and have devolved back into the ways of the Vikings, but with guns. The final permanent group, the Shadows Smile Mercenary Company (SSMC), is a sizeable mercenary company that occupies the west coast and half the prairies of Canada. They are the closest thing to a genuine military force in what's left of the world, with a strict hierarchy, armoured vehicles, aircraft and naval vessels. They have plenty of highly talented engineers capable of salvaging, repairing and improving old military technology. They are infamous around what's left of the world and will do anything as long as the price is right; they have no morals so long as they're paid not to.

The Company: SSMC has a strict hierarchy as follows: The leader is the Colonel, the second-in-command is the Lieutenant Colonel,

The Character: Sepha is the Lieutenant Colonel (Second-In-Command) of the Shadows Smile Mercenary Company. Despite not being the leader, she is by far the deadliest shot and the most deranged; most of her soldiers tend to avoid her whenever possible. She got her nickname, the Smiling Shot, because she always had a terrifying smile whenever she was shooting, particularly when executing people; she adopted this by painting a smile on her mask so she never stopped.
