... in any case (roleplaying character) Setting: dystopian near-future US My character is 16. After about 12 years of subpar but basically adequate food, medical care, and so forth (think bad foster homes/orphanages--she was usually hungry, but never seriously malnourished), she ran away. This resulted in an even worse diet, and basically no medical or dental care other than home first aid and ...
