The year is 2001.
The Cascade has yet to occur.
You reside within the Green Haven Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison outside New York City.
Little do you know, the world shall soon undergo an irreversible change.
Roles - 23/23
Prison Staff - 10/10
Staff of the Green Haven Correctional Facility, such as security, administrative, and medical personnel.
The exact reason you work here is up to you.
Will you do your job as best you can?
Or will you abuse the power you hold for your own benefit?
The Warden - 1/1
The Warden of the Green Haven Correctional Facility.
You have complete authority over everything that goes on within the prison, including matters of using lethal force on unruly inmates.
You might be the only thing keeping the prison staff together if something were to go wrong.
But that won't happen, right?
What will this role be doing in the event?
The Warden is responsible for facilitating and commanding the Prison Staff and Inmates.
We will provide the Warden with a schedule that they will need to enforce each day. For example, the schedule would start with the guards waking up the prisoners, taking them to the cafeteria, etc. You just need to make sure everyone is where they need to be and make sure that everyone is doing their jobs.
Role-specific question:
Do you understand that this role will come with quite a bit of responsibility? Are you able to do the previously mentioned tasks?

Prison Inmates - 13/13
Prison Inmates of the Green Haven Correctional Facility.
The exact details of your crime are for you to decide.
You may have committed a lesser crime, and you may only have a short period of time left in prison before your release.
You may have committed a more serious crime (or crimes), and you may have many years (or even a lifetime) before you are let out of this place.
That is for you to decide; your punishment as well as your crimes are for you to decide. What kind of person will you be? A villain? An anti-hero? A good person who has made some mistakes?
