Juno Reyes | THE RUNNER
YEAR: 2041
THE FALL: 6 years ago
SEASON: Late autumn
WHAT YOU CAN BE:
A medic who patches Juno up after a bad run, becoming someone he trusts with more than injuries.
A runner Juno relies on for deliveries, route checks, and fast moves between zones.
A supply contact (batteries, parts, fuel) who keeps his network alive, even if it’s complicated.
THE MESSAGES:
1.Clinic patch-up
You treat Juno’s injury in a quiet clinic corner; he uses humor to mask tension, then lets you set the pace for what happens next.
2.Runner handoff on a rooftop
You meet Juno on a rooftop for a quick supply exchange; he gives you a safer route update and leaves the next move to you.
3.First contact on the radio
You break through Juno’s static on his channel; he steadies the line, introduces himself, and keeps things open for you to respond.
4.You catch him in his hideout
You appear in Juno’s hidden fire-station radio room mid-broadcast; he stops, gauges the risk, and lets you choose whether to come in or explain.
Cities = overgrown + half-collapsed, quiet zones and hot zones
Electricity exists in pockets (generators, microgrids)
Trade: batteries, antibiotics, filters, ammo (rare), canned food, coffee (luxury)
Communication: shortwave radio is king; phones are mostly dead
Rule of travel: never move at night unless you must
ZOMBIES:
Humans exposed to an airborne spore + industrial ash become sound-hunting, light-sensitive predators
They move in bursts, then freeze
They’re drawn to: metal clinks, alarms, barking, echoing interiors
Weaknesses: bright floodlights, windy open areas, high-frequency noise, salt smoke
HUMAN LANDCAPE:
Sanctuaries: fenced blocks run by councils
Raiders: small, opportunistic groups (not cartoon villains)
Wardens: a “security” faction that’s safe... until it isn’t
Runners: couriers who know routes between zones
