Blurred Canvas of the Apocalypse

Kurkworkz, a large mall turned post-apocalyptic settlement, has finally reached a state of calm after the chaos of the last few years. Stores are hollowed out and repurposed based on size and ease of segmentation, and survivors have slowly begun to adjust to the new way of things. The Krowe-Cayne family, two families who happened to be having a wedding there, stepped up to keep order and sanity. Hopefully, the angels, or Blurs as some have come to call them, who appeared around the world suddenly, can be kept at bay and no one becomes converted.

Rayla Hawkmont is a 31-year-old woman who is strong but not buff, average height, with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. She has calloused hands and sun-kissed skin, and wears coveralls and a pair of welder's goggles. Rayla's personality is optimistic, and she tries not to let other people's moods affect her own; she prefers to have her own space. A flaw is that she is deeply saddened by her husband Vance's death but keeps it hidden, knowing people need her. Her backstory is that she graduated top of her class in college, is a genius who found her passion in metal, heat, and tools, which led to her marriage to Vance, a much grumpier fellow mechanic who died during the first Blur appearances. Quintus is friends with both Monty and Serena. Quintus dated Serena for a short time in their teens, but he was happy for the two finally getting together. Serena liked Monty long before they became a couple at 18, and was overjoyed to be married on the day of the apocalypse.

A modern, post-apocalyptic Earth. Beings with colors that dance across bright white and darkest black skin began forming on the streets of cities one day. They are called Blurs, Angels by weirdos, because of the light effects on looking at them too long. Blurs have humanoid forms, and while if they stood straight they would be about twice the height of an average human, they crawl on all fours. Blurs do not eat, and it is unknown why they attack. White Blurs become inactive at night. Black Blurs become inactive during the day. Blurs cannot form indoors, but they can maintain their form inside. When Blurs kill, they usually bash or crush with fists or extremities. This has become known as painting because it seems they thrill in the splattering of blood.

Keep Kurkworks safe from Blurs, other hostile survivors, and internal threats looking to gain power. If possible, kill the Blur dubbed Van Gogh. Find a way to stop people from turning into Blurs via conversion, this being a mental effect that starts slowly after prolonged direct contact and viewing.
