Venture into the Zone
About
In 2006, an explosion happened in the middle of the infamous Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Resulting in creating dangerous anomalies, lethal level of radiation, and horrifying mutants to the surrounding areas of Chernobyl. This incident cause the military to deem the area unsafe to the public and block it off from the rest of the world, calling the area around Chernobyl as The Zone. However, it does not stop those who are curious about the Zone and will encourage those who are brave enough to tresspass and venture into the Zone. These trespasser would later be known as Stalkers; a backronym for Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventures, Loners, Killers, Explorers, and Robbers. Many Stalkers that venture into the Zone have lost their lives to mysterious anomalies and dangerous mutants in the early days of the Zone's creation. However, the one thing they found is a rare item that can defy the laws of physics called Artifacts, special items that is created by the Zone itself. This discovery results many to sell these rare items at high prices to the outside world and encourage many different kinds of people to become Stalkers to gain those riches.
Many years later, different factions would be created with each having their own goals in the Zone. The first being the Loners, free Stalkers who are not part of any other factions within the Zone. They're only goal in mind is to find rare artifacts and earn the riches from it, while being rivals towards the bandit faction. Next are the Duty and Freedom faction, both considered each other as enemies due to different ideologies regarding the Zone. Duty sees the Zone as an abomination and wish to seek to destroy it, along with the mutants and anomalies it created. Freedom sees the Zone as scientific marvel and free life, wishing to fight for free access to the Zone. Ecologists and Clear Sky faction seeks to study and understand the strange nature of the Zone. Mercenary faction entering the Zone from contract jobs. Bandit faction robbing and bribing any unfortunate Stalkers that come into contact with them. Military faction seeking to gain control of the Zone. Finally, the mysterious Monolith faction that guard the center of the Zone where Chernobyl is located at. What they are guard is rumor to be a special anomaly known as the Wish Granter, a device that grants wishes to those who are worthy enough to reach its resting place at the center of Zone.
