District 1 - The Pit

[Badger]

December 18th, 2007

Since the end of the Seven Hour War, the claustrophobic halls of District 1 have served as a vital source of labor for other surrounding districts. The Combine elected to stuff an inordinate amount of people into the Pit, and the Administration of this cramped behemoth has kept itself afloat through a clever mix of narcotics exports for the elite and workforce contracts with neighboring districts, all in the spirit of mutual cooperation. An infamous example was the highly publicized “Mutual Prosperity Agreement” with District 7, through which D1 supplied workers in exchange for much-needed ration shipments, medical supplies and consumer goods.

However, unbeknownst to the main C13 Administration, overpopulation has for a while begun manifesting itself through the formation of peculiar cliques and like-minded groups of citizens- Or, as they are less amicably referred to by locals, gangs. These factions vie for control over the area’s most important sectors, each with a vision of their own for the future of the District.

The average citizen resorts to liquor and narcotics to cope with their miserable existence, hoping for a relocation to literally anywhere else in the World. This has allowed for the proliferation of drug rings, ignored by the local administration in an effort to pacify their populace. However, savvy units and citizens alike have begun to take advantage of these addicts, beginning to fund their own personal drug operations.

As a provider of raw labor force, the local administration need not do much besides continue funnelling manpower to other Districts. Sitting atop their Ivory tower, they have continued to ignore the District's problems as nothing more than minor nuisances, unaware that at any moment one of the local groups may start growing enough numbers to pose a serious threat to their power.

Now in late 2007, the situation has officially reached a breaking point. District 7 has officially terminated the “Mutual Prosperity Agreement” and shut its doors to D1, having itself entered a period of reconstruction following a chaotic wave of riots. With the loss of one of its most important external partnerships, D1 finds itself more isolated than ever, leaving its already ailing population ever more desperate. D1’s locals must find a way to become self-sufficient using their own decrepit facilities, as well as find some modicum of leadership to replace the cronies of the local Administration.

It will be up to the players which kind of gang they form/join, what ideals they choose to champion. Will they become renowned saviors of the working class? Maybe profit off of the misery and degradation of the local populace? Or perhaps just more meat for the enormous grinder that is District 1…

Spoiler: Event Rules (Read this)

EVENT RULES

• The Pit is set to run from July 8th until v3 launches. These dates may change due to IC/OOC reasons.
• The event is free for all to join, but you must fill out the application if you wish to be part of a pre-established gang or faction with a base of operations in D1 at the start of the event. Civil Protection whitelist holders are exempt from this. If for whatever reason you want to keep your gang low profile, send your application directly to me (@Badger) through discord or forums.
• Character transfers to the main V3 map will be possible (though not guaranteed) through IC means.
• No departments exist within D1 besides Civil Protection. Local gangs have their own medical personnel who help and assist members with their injuries, as well as their own workers and guards.
• Weapons are extremely limited. Ground units are equipped with batons, ordinary folk with melees (metal pipes, crowbars, knives, anything goes). The event is meant to have a strong focus on melee combat roleplay. S2K should be minimal.
• A step above this are pistols, owned by high level gang members and command units. ANYTHING MORE DOES NOT EXIST as it’s not in circulation within the district. Factories are simply not producing them due to lack of materials and inexistence of a Civil Workers Union, and importing more from other districts would drive D1 into further financial degradation.
• PK’s will be handed out befitting the policy for V3. Roleplay meeting up to the PK must be of high quality. Death must serve the story in one way or another and deliver some sense of purpose. Players may possibly be placed into riot environments and lethal injuries or deaths can and will happen but that doesn’t mean they should feel forced into PKs when it does not befit the situation.
• ET leads will not shy away from kicking players known to cause issues within the community or known to have miserable quality of roleplay from the event. This is to ensure that it does not turn into mindless S2K (even with mostly melees being accessible) and the quality of the event isn’t tainted by people who are there to script farm or otherwise ruin the fun for everybody else.
• If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask any of the ET leads!

It takes a real man to stand up during times of need, but it takes a sly, opportunistic one to rise to the top. This isn't a feel good story about some hero, some goody two-shoes who brought his way to the top by being a top-of-the-line human being who people rallied around. Sadly, or perhaps for the better, life as we know is not that way anymore. It's about power, it's about if you truly have it in you to backstab even those closest to you in exchange for that extra power, isn't it? Or perhaps it's about finding that one group of people who you can rely on to do your biddings, those who you can trust. However, you're not one to be trusted, so how can you expect others to be trustworthy?​

Gang/Faction affiliation: Apacchi-zoku [Set for change, maybe?] Gang/Faction description: A band of opportunists. They aren't 'bad guys', but sure as hell aren't the heroes of this story. They'll do everything to come out on top, but they'll do it with care and precision, surgically so.

I wish I could say that life before the Combine was tough for me, and that I had my reasoning to do these things. I can't say life was too bad, everything bad that happened to me was a product of my own failure and shortcomings. Life before the Combine was what the average working man in Asia had to endure, but I was the one that always got one-upped by everyone, I was too nice. It was back when the changes happened, that I knew I had to be different, that I couldn't make the same mistakes as the past, for as this world wouldn't allow it.

Character name: Gaoshun "Tar" Shui

Character description: A broad-shouldered, but small, man well into his middle ages. His arms are marked by spits of cigarette ash, scars of old shrapnel and slag from years past. He hails from Tianjin, one of the historic hotbeds of less-than-legal activity in China, growing up in the sweltering heat of the forges as a child labourer. Eventually, with a bit of luck and smoothtalking, he managed a job inspecting cargo at the busy Tianjin port. Of course, the glorious engine of magnificence that is the Chinese Communist Party didn’t mind if he swindled a shaving off the top of the perfidious West’s bottom line here or there. Perhaps a blind eye to some questionable cargo in exchange for a generous fee was fair. As part of his operations, he learned Japanese and English. However, eventually there must be a fall guy, and the 30-something year old Tar was the one they chose. In that sense, the arrival of aliens was a welcome distraction to begin with. The struggle to survive is easy when you can fool some useful idiots into giving you everything, and it beats hard labour in a re education camp. Now, he resides in Paris, the delightfully re-dubbed “City-13.” Utilising his Japanese and people skills to associate himself with the infant Appachi-zoku has afforded him relative luxury and just a taste of power. This district is ripe for the taking, and Tar won’t be made a fool again.

Faction description
​

A small-time crew of scavengers, tradesmen, and merchants operating from an old warehouse in the rotting corpse of District 1. They are ordinary people who work together in order to survive and possibly even thrive as the situation around them becomes increasingly worse.

Exploiting the current crisis, they sell recovered supplies and equipment from abandoned buildings and conflict zones to both the Precinct Satellite garrison and local gangs for a stable source of income.

Being a neutral group within the District, they are tolerated but distrusted by everyone they work with. If the situation becomes dire, they will do anything to make ends meet.​

Aimé Bellet
"The local punk"

​

Small young guy, around 5'3", but don't get it wrong—he can move around like a rat: fast, agile, and able to fit into places most Metrocops wouldn't. You will usually see him running from Civil Protection, always clad in a dirty denim jacket covered in bright, spiky adornments and punk rock band patches sewn onto it. The exact stereotype of a punk. Most of the anarchist-symbol graffiti around the district is his doing.

For those closer to Aimé, they will see a punk rock aficionado and a strong anarchist, for some even a beacon of hope in a dark world. Although smaller than the average person, he certainly has presence, perhaps due to his energetic and, at times, chaotic nature.

Those bright amber colored eyes and his attitude, supported by his french accent, might hide insecurities from the past that still resurface in his mind, coming back to haunt him, and maybe that is a drive for his kindness and his will to lift others up with him. Some say its a shame he lives by running close to the edge of the cliff.

Aimé is part of a community called The Black Flag. Although there is no leader, many members see Aimé as a inspiration,holding him in high regard, and aspire to do the same mischievous actions as him. His actual work inside the community involves a good range of things. He helps with general organization of the community, making paraphernalia, planning actions and just generally being the image of the community.

---

Faction description:

The Black Flag



The Black Flag is a collective that uses a anarchist community model, being opposed to any statal organ or any type of rule over people. The collective has no leadership,and everyone inside the collective is equal, holding the same amount of power. The group is based in a horizontal structure rather than a vertical one, as in, no member has more power then other members.

Lack of rulers, not lack of rules

Any rules in the collective are made through communal consensus, and the collective has in its core the anarchist philosophy, with principles such as the skepticism of authority and voluntary, non-coercive cooperation.

The members of the collective are usually punk rockers that remain from the paris punk community, although anyone is accepted inside the collective. They are usually up to causing mischief. Graffiti, vandalism, burning things up, you name it, but its not the norm. If a member chooses to do their fight through other means, they are free to do so. Some choose violence, but one general consensus is that violence is not glorified, and its used in a justified way against the hierarchy and the state, as a way to fight.

These acts of defiance usually perpetrated by the collective are done in ways as to not harm innocents, only to damage the machine, thats the consensus.

Bernand was born in 1977 during the late cold war, He lived a normal life as a child going to a elementary school and soon going to a engineering academy after reaching the age of 17. After he finally finished school in 1996 at the age of 19, He decided to engage in the French Politics, Joining the French Communist Party and becoming its Propagandist in 1999.

Bernard was one of the lucky few of the communist party who survived the Seven Hour War in 2001. He successfully hid in the sewers of Eastern Paris with his colleagues and some civillians that came along with them. After the war was over, Bernard made sure that the coast was clear of any Combine force to oppose their exiting from the sewers, Thus they stayed in the sewers for few more months before they finally came out in late 2001. Getting washed up with clean water, Stealing some clothes and close combat weapons and hiding in a abandoned store of the past...

Character Description: Adrian is an extremely Adaptable man; on many occasions, he had to forcefully shape himself into what was needed to come out on top. To him, it didn't matter what others thought of him if the things he did brought him good. He usually keeps to himself, only ever interacting with people he knows and somewhat trusts. He usually hangs around in simple clothes that are easily washable or replaceable due to his occupation as something akin to a lay doctor. He may be spotted around with a medical mask and surgical gloves... Or, well, simple plastic gloves. He is of average height, and he has long blonde hair. His most striking feature is his eyes, which are of a really bright green.​

Gang Affiliation: When he first arrived in this place, he knew the unrest would have been tough to survive without some sort of protection and a safe enough place to lie down during the major riots. So Adrian got himself into the Appachi-Zoku, offering his pre-invasion experience in the medical field as an EMS operator to make sure the gang's members weren't dying of whatever wounds or sicknesses they could've gotten themselves by doing their usual activities.

Occupation: Before the invasion, Adrian worked as an EMS operator in Barcelona. He wasn't really sure how he ended up doing that; the medical field never really interested him in any way. It just so happened that one day, he found himself outside of his local drug store and was greeted by a little poster advertising how the local Red Cross was searching for possible volunteers to train and form into a fully fledged paramedic to put on ambulances.

Determined Function Program

​

Upon stepping foot into District 1, a wave of disappointment rushed over Harry. So much tech in disrepair, their perfect function unutilised. Wasted. Feeling lost, needing a way to preserve himself and technology alike. An old memory...passion began flaming once more.

Wandering around the decrepit buildings, searching for a metaphorical tool to help him, Harry soon found himself in the company of Lorenz Turner.

Occupation
High-Functioning Repait Unit


Before the takeover, Harry worked as an electrician in Scotland. His ever-prospering work had to be cut short due to the accident. yet, still knowing a thing or two about his former profession, Harry opened a small repair shop, continuing the adulation of technology. Having gathered enough wealth, he gave Paris a taste of his expertise.

His luck ran out however, leaving him desperate for money until the eventual Combine occupation...

Without a place in this world, a modern day nomad. Born in a state that no longer exist, absorbed into a society that hated me for what I was. One that ceased to be, just a decade later. So what do I have? Nothing. Just myself, and the people around me.
​

Who? What? Where?​

Name's Elke Verner, average height, average built. Brown eyes and brown hair. There is nothing out of ordinary 'bout me, well maybe except for that tattoo I have on my arm.

I used to be part of something greater, used to be respected by the others. Used to. Then it all went to hell. 'Unification' my ass, annexation would be a better word for what happened. Tossed aside without even so much as a "thank you". Forced into poverty, humiliating daily myself to earn a few euros. Was that really how these people lived for the past 40 years? Well, anyway, that didn't last either. Things went to shit again, this time when some aliens showed up. At least I was used to having a shitty life by then, so not like things changed all that much.

Now I am in my forties, living in some shithole of a district. But at least I am not alone. I'm part of a "group" you see. Self employed, self supplied entrepreneurs, or whatever the hell they say. Can't call it honest work, but it pays, gets me fed, so whatever. It could always be worse, eh?​

_______________________________________________________________________


A multi-ethnic street gang led by the illustrious Le Capitaine.

After the subjugation of Earth and the subsequent few years that followed; it would be in Paris, District 1 that this band of misfits-... if one could call them that enabled themselves in. The Boys they call them in the standard English, but it goes by several names; Les Garçons, La Bande, Libération de Tout le Peuple and many more.

It has formed due to the lack of proper social control by the Combine; with the gang establishing itself as a powerfactor, like so many other gangs in the Pit; to control the daily lives of those who live there; and to struggle to survive. Whether it is raw-street fights or home-grown food. The Gang strives to exercise its control over the others whether by force or alliances.

The Ambitions of the Gangs are many; exercise control, establish control - begin anew.
For them, this is about survival - not crime. Whether it would be smuggling contraband, steal or engage in shakeups or drug-manufacturing that drives them forth for what is the real deal.

The Capitaine is said to be shrewd, a hard leader-... with a tender heart for missfits and outcasts. The Gang primarily recruits minorities, but also a wide array of Europeans from the East, North-... South. Everyone is welcome-...

Adaptability: noun

'The quality of being able to change or be changed in order to deal successfully with new situations.'


Hailing from the previously western state of Colorado, a once respectable & professional intellectual who tutored the soon to be next American generation, found the prospect of a seemingly quiet & prosperous life educating and mentoring those in the prospects of mathematics & chemistry suddenly put on hold due to unforeseen events putting a hold on what would've been the up and coming American decade of both economic & military dominance, both having been shattered in less than seven hours by unknown invaders.

As for the aftermath? Our intellectual was forcibly ripped from her mountainous dwelling, relocated far west across the new American Wasteland to the European heartland, yet another countless number dumped into the now befouled French Capital, thrust into a dog-eat-dog world, our intellectual once familiar with having guaranteed food on her plate, clean water to drink freely alongside a warm abode to shelter within, now had to scrape by like those who weren't able to find their American Dream before the so-called 'Ascension'.

Why'd I tell you this? Because you wanted to know why I got dumped into this dive like the rest of the others, besides. If those who can't adapt to their surroundings well enough don't or won't, others will and they'll thrive in their new surroundings.​
