The chaos of the initial outbreak has since become hazy to you, as it all occurred many years ago, back when you were a girl. You do, however, know the details from what people of told you while growing up. Martial law was declared, and evacuation points were set up. However, due to an attempted invasion of the Central Republic's northeastern border by an opportunistic Kazacia, the military's resources were split between two fronts. All the evac zones had ceased operations after a few weeks, and the remaining cops and Civil Guards were pulled back to the clean zones. The power grid shut down, and the rest of the world went dark once the military set up equipment to jam communications. The war with Kazacia ended without a winner, as both nations' militaries were ultimately overrun by the undead after being weakened by extreme supply shortages, lack of morale, and extended combat.


You reside in the Dirty Zone, the areas where the country crumbled and order vanished forever. You are near the buffer zone of the Central Clean Sector, a particularly large cluster of clean zones protected by several rivers. That buffer zone has fallen in other parts of the sector, with undead invading the northern and western parts. In the east, the buffer zone remains functional, although a lot of troops have been pulled off from it to go fight the rebels.

The Army High Command (or "National Provisional Authority" as they have now taken to calling themselves) have ruled over this part of the Sector with an iron grip. Around five months ago, there were large demonstrations in Broxbane and Parliament that eventually escalated into full-scale uprisings that led to urban warfare between rebels and the army. It has also spilled out into the countryside, with many small towns being taken over by different rebel groups, as well as Dirty Zoners that have snuck in.

You have made camp, potentially only temporarily, in the crossroads of the swampy region east of the buffer zone. Your men currently rest in the abandoned buildings, as well as your three portable tents. A few opt to sleep inside their vehicles. It's not particularly comfortable, but you haven't gotten any complaints yet.

Your group is comprised of various goons that you have recruited to follow you. Some of them agree with your ideas, while others are simply miscreants that just needed a group to run with, regardless of what its values were. Perhaps the largest demographic in your group are simply scavengers that want the Clean Zone to collapse so that they can cash in on all the loot and plunder that lies within it. Your henchmen are kept in line by your trusted enforcer, Dave, who wholeheartedly agrees with your philosophy of natural selection and survival of the fittest. He is slowly working to indoctrinate the less 'ideological' members into thinking in similar ways as you do. Dave was one of the members of the original camp you were part of, someone who bought into your ideas as a way to cope, possibly- still, he is your most loyal lieutenant.

You are currently in your camp. You can summon a few of your trusted men to make plans, or simply do all that on your own if you so choose.
