The Melee of Quarrytown
"We don't go there anymore..."
A paradise for refugees
The settlement of Quarrytown had it's praises sung to hell and heavens when it was first formed. In opposition of everything the Combine is, it stood strong, out of reach of Overwatch's covetous gaze. Here you'll find people of all walks, of all ideologies, even ex-loyalists who now scorn their one-time overlords. It is a warm, and welcoming town to any who seek peace in these disturbed times.
It was early on in it's formation when the settlement decided that, given it is very close to a major resistance stronghold, whatever weapons the peaceful settlement had in it's possession would be handed to the resistance stronghold that actually needed them, and knew how to use them. In exchange for protection when inevitably the Combine seek to burn it to the ground.
Yet despite all hopes, protection would come all too late for this sad town.

OOC Details
This will be a two day event, as usual, anyone is free to apply with no major restriction to character backstories. Be as creative as you'd like. Quarrytown has existed for awhile and is (as described) a safe haven for people of all types, be it resistance members taking a short break from fighting, or a invalid relying on handouts and freebies provided by the Church and other kind-hearted individuals.
As always though, backstories are expected to be serious and reasonably well wrote. There's a month until the event runs, so there's no need to rush.
Also the first event I'll be leading since joining SS, so I'm sure it'll be interesting!

The Church
Many of Quarrytown's inhabitants were devoutly religious, engaging in prayer and religious sermons often to distract from the otherwise crippling reality they're faced with on the daily. Be it a simple churchgoer, or a priest, The Church had many members holding influence and rarely, upholding the law when needed.
The Doctors
Quarrytown had it's fair share of invalids who retired from service in the Resistance due to crippling wounds, or had otherwise been casted out as a cripple by other groups. Because of this, many Doctors would find themselves employed in Quarrytown mending ailments and injuries often.
The Builders
With the town growing more and more crowded as each week passes, it became a necessity to get a organised group dedicated to repairing and building living areas and the few commercial buildings that operated profitably.
