Hey guys, i just had a story idea and want to know what you think.
Okay, so the story is a post-apocalyptic one set in the year 2045 AD where, after a melange of World War III, supernatural occurrences, cybernetic revolts, and plagues, the earth had become a devastated wasteland. Zachary Arakida--a Japanese American Abnormal who takes on certain jobs to survive (mercenary/bounty hunter/Courier)--wanders the former United States with an existential want of finding the reason why he's still alive while meeting certain people--good and bad--and learning more about his powers. He, also, has to deal with the bizarre elements born after the war, such as hordes of cannibals, amorous mutants, sentient and/or insane robots, alien explorers, and a new race of hive-minded beings called the "Hive".
Now, the cause of the Apocalypse was a result of the U.S., China, and Russia against each other, starting in 2018 and caused by the United States sabotaging several industrial facilities, military uproars, and spying on leaders of said nations. Pacific countries (Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia) have been occupied by American forces, turning them into the "Pacific Wall" and used as a front against China, which also resulted in Asian American groups to form in protest of the Wall. China establishes a network of laser satellites that vaporized New York, Las Angeles, and other major cities. Russia and China builds a series of robotic, AI war machines to use against the U.S., which America does the same against the two until they developed self-awareness and sapience, postulating that humans are too violent to live and must be wipe out for the continuity of the Earth. Russia unleashes a epidemic, resulting in the death of 20% of the human race while also creating mutants. Finally the world ends with three factions calling nuclear strike.
In this world, a sub-group of humans called "Abnormals" exist who possess certain psychokinetic powers brought on by chemical hormone exposure in modern day food. Certain places, such as Hollywood and Salt Lake City, are restored and become independent city-states. Some areas in the wasteland are inhabited by cannibals, some even to the point where a community of them are taking refuge in an abandoned food-processing plant, capturing settlers and treating them like cattle, killing and butchering the men and using the women for breeding more meat. There's also an enclave of androids and gynoids who developed human emotions and defected from the machines before doomsday. Now, the Hive are an unusual munch as they are not mutants, but a new species created through human augmentation; they are hairless, agendered, telekinetic, and possess a hive-mind, and wish to wipe humanity. Lastly, after the world ended, God left Heaven in self-exile, which Zachary learned from a couple of angel explorers sent to investigate the state of the Earth. Also, a group of Alien scientists (botanist, engineer, biologist, cartographer, geologist, and ecologist) encounter Zachary and his party, who saves them from a group of cyborg bandits that wanted to sell the latter to slavers, along with their ship. Oh yeah, and bullets are now a currency in certain cities and settlements.
So, yeah, tell me what you all think and can you give me some suggestion?
