Backstory

In 2025, a classified CRISPR project at the Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio escaped containment via an HVAC cross-connection, fusing with seasonal influenza into Neuro-Rabies Adeno (NRA). The virus granted brief genius-level cognition before prefrontal shutdown, turning infected humans into "Frenzies"—quadrupedal, pain-immune biters that depopulated cities in months. By 2075, 91% of the U.S. population (306 million) is gone.

Normals (10 million): Unexposed survivors in fortified rural towns, masked and layered against aerosols.

Augments (700,000): Latent carriers with permanent 15% boosts to reflexes, senses, and endurance—no rage, but frontline roles breed resentment.

Frenzies(remnants): 2–4 week terminal maniacs, drawn to noise, forming transient packs.

Canines/Felines: Feral packs and prides roam ruins, NRA granting cooperative tactics and object use.

Primates (210,000+ in 172 tribes): 50-point IQ-equivalent surge fuels tool-making, gesture languages, and tyrannical slavery—chimp hordes, bonobo matriarchies, gorilla thrones, etc., locked in calculated genocides.
