Hello it's me Rim, I'm looking for a partner or partners which could help me with world building.
Action is set in post apocalypse, taken over by monsters born from darker but repressed side of people etc. due to accident during research which spread mysterious gas, turning humans into beast which brought havoc to the world, and killed most of world population. It seemed like situation was hopeless, but then group of people who could control said monsters and use them to protect other people, they're thought as a blessing and curse, due to some individuals, they're called Dominators.
I'm looking help with ideas towards human settlements and factions.
I don't have high requirements, just I want someone to put their own effort into this.

Woof, Sounds intresting! I'll inform my friends of this to see if any of them want to join.
This is some info about them.
Umbras are manifestation of your darker side or shadow self you name it.
That means your umbra can take over your body when you're broken down or consumed by your desire.
With time they become more sentient and develop personalities, they range from homicidal creatures to morally neutral beings.
There're 3 types of Umbras:
Beast- Most common umbra type is beast umbra, Their traits for average specimen is incredible physical statistics(mainly strength), instincts and poor range with rather poor intellect, how to know your umbra is beast type? simple it resembles wild creatures which don't resemble in their body a human, although in later stages of development it can change and creature can be humanoid (level 2 and up)
Irregular: Often called Artificial. They are second most common shadows, Their traits are biggest set of abilities, intelligence and average strength? how to identify them? usually they've robotic parts or are made of them. otherwise it's very broad term, as it can be anything.
Group or Swarm: This is least common shadow, traits is single ability for a whole development process and numbers which can be used to overwhelm the enemy, single member is usually weak and can be destroyed with ease, note: their strength is divided by number of units.
Levels:
Umbra have levels depending either on their advancement or downgrade.
Level 0; It has various stage's of progression.
Stage 1: Umbra messes with users mind, hallucination, suggestions etc., slowly breaking him down, there are no visible changes neither in user or umbra, this is best stage for user can be recovered.
Stage 2: Users begin to bleed from eyes, he has mood changes and can be easily angered. starting to see everyone as enemies, victim can still be recovered although it would require immense effort.
Stage 3: User is husk, walking body controlled by Umbra, it attacks everyone and anything in it's range, body is much stronger than normal human body, although Umbra user can deal with it easily, if it bites you or makes a cut you can be infected and become a husk if untreated.
Stage 4: User body is destroyed as Umbra uses it as medium to create it's own body, it can follow evolutionary process of young umbra and grow stronger or return to current form that it achieved.
Level 1: Default level with which every Umbra user starts, it has two stages:
Default form: first form, at which you can easily hurt humans, and destroy singular group umbra, it is weakest state but it can evolve to higher heights.
Adult form: Umbra becomes larger and stronger, user can now far more easily develop them and train their abilities.
Achieving Adult form is matter of hours to few days.
Level 2: Umbra takes humanoid form, developing new ability and increasing it's power.
Now Unlocking Level 2 doesn't have time range of when it can be achieved it can take months to whole lives of getting to this stage of evolution, requirements are achieving adult form and changing as a person(For better or worse), stray umbra has to eat other umbras to grow or fight long enough to evolve.
Level 3: Umbra becomes armour which can be worn by user. they achieve new heights of power, now this form can be achieved by having good relation with umbra, plus you've to unlock level 2. Stray umbra has to understand himself. Since umbra doesn't have human to develop relation it will develop, becoming more human.
Threat Level:
Ultimare Umbra- Threat to continent or humanity.
Ferrer Umbra- Threat to multiple cities or countries.
Amens Umbra- Threat to villages or city.
Hollow Shadow- Lowest level, threat to people.

So I'm still looking for partner, I think I've regained some enthusiasm for work regarding the group.
I love world building, I have tons of ideas that I never put out there. It's been awhile since I got involved in a project so I'm down to do some world building again!
By the way, I didn't find any mention of a time period (I might have missed it though), so what is the base setting? Modern, historical, futuristic? What level of technology is there?

In default it was modern, well before things gone wrong because after that it becomes futuristic.
