The Tha^Giving Weekend and Black Friday Sales Madness

STORY

The story begins months before Black Friday when a domestic terrorist gets his hands on a vial of misplaced smallpox virus found at an abandoned FDA facility. The terrorist modiﬁes the virus and prepares for its optimal release window: the Tha^giving weekend and Black Friday sales madness.

The government, aware of the transaction having taiken place, is imable to ﬁnd the terrorist and stop h i m i n t i m e . - ' , , 0

The virus is released in the center of Manhattan. In the days before it is conﬁrmed as smallpox, it spreads across the nation and outside of the borderiS/'In New York alone millions are infected. Hundreds of thousands die. In an attempt to slow the spread to neighboring cities and the surrounding countryside the city is quarantined.

The virus spreads like a ynldfire on Manhattan. Local martial law is declared. The U.S. National Guard is activated. The virus takes its toll on government forces, the chaotic violence that ensues makes it worse. The remnants of U.S. Department of Defense, CERA and local public personnel (the police^ firefighters, etc) form the Joint Task Force QTF) in order to organize relief and recovery. Despite their efforts, civil unrest increases.

Now, the city is on the verge of collapse. Enemy factions that surfaced in the chaos are attempting to claim New York City for their own. In a last ditch effort to save New York, the President has invoked Directive 51. Hidden in the top secret annexes of this directive is an organization called the Division.

The player is a Division agent, a self-supporting tactical agent embedded in society, prepared for the worst possible scenario and bestowed with executive powers by the President himself upon activation. When all else has failed, it is up to the Division to save what remains and take back New York.

Cleaners are a group of blue collar workers who have taken it upon themselves to rid New York City of the virus. As part of the relief effort, these guys were on the front lines when the virus struck, helping to construct barricades and quarantine areas. By the second week, they were digging mass graves. By the end, they were burning bodies.

When the relief effort began to collapse, these workers realized how fruitless their endeavors had been. Their families were back home dying or dead, and they were out there working, for what? New York was only getting worse. If the army and everyone else called it quits, then everything they did, everything they sacriﬁced would be in vain. Even worse, they would be stuck in quarantined Manhattan with a disease that wouldn't die. No one would live. Not unless they stepped up and took

m a t t e r s i n t o t h e i r o w n h a n d s .

Thus the Cleaners were born. By the time we meet them, the Cleaners have become infamous. No one knows who they are. They only know them as merciless, masked men, stalking the streets and burning any and all evidence of the disease. Any place &at could be hoarding victims - clinics, camps, outposts - needs to be burned. Any person showing symptoms must be burned. The Cleaners see the disease as an infestation that must be purged.

They haven't had time to truly reﬂect on their atrocities. If they did, they'd be horriﬁed.

The Cleaners walk in groups in a trance-like state. They don't talk much. If they do, it's normally the average work complaints about their knees aching or,the winter wind biting. Mostly, they just do their time and go back to base when the day is done. There, they distract themselves with booze or prayer - whatever works to keep the nightmares away.

They treat their opponents like pesky rats. Some Cleaners just want to get the killing over with. Others taunt their prey before snufﬁng them out. It's just part of the job. Nothing personal. Unless someone injures or kills one of their companions. Then you bet it's personal.

Accents/dialects: NYC accents, more blue collar. Heavily ﬁltered through gas masks.

• Serious, gruff. Edging on bitter. • Don't fully pronounce all of their words. "Gotta" and "outta" instead of "got to" and "out of" • Not too graphic or vulgar, although they toss out the occasional swear. • Not too emotional. No use getting worked up over something if they're all going to die anyhow. Saying that, they have a bond and will express immense anger when one of their companions is injured, killed or needs to be put down.

i^iw roiwin FACTION: JTF

The Joint Task Force New York is a joint operation between the United States Department of Defense, FEMA [dubbed "CERA" in our game) and other government departments (NYPD, ﬁre department, etc). It was formed in the early stages of the outbreak in order to better organize relief efforts. However, weeks into the outbreak, a schism formed when the JTF commander defected with thousands of his most veteran troops.

What remains of the fractured operation are the surviving remnants of New York State's National Guard and the NYPD. Together, they now struggle to care for the city's survivors and ﬁght the hostile forces attempting to claim New York for their own. It is an unwinnable situation. However the player's presence has given them hope that the city may not be lost.

The National Guard are, at its core, volunteers - men and women from all wMks of life who dedicate some of their free time to training to protect the country in time of emergency. They have basic military training but don't have the experience of career soldiers. As sudh, they're rather green when it comes to combat and panic easier, but they're also strongly motivated. Every one of them has family at home they need to protect, and feel a deep sense of social obligation to the people of New York. They are the very deﬁnition of courage; aqUng not because they feel no fear but because of it.

The police ofﬁcers of New York have been trained to keep the peace, and have the beneﬁt of a long career of experience dealing with some of the worst dregs humanity has to offer. To some, it's just a job; to others, a moral responsibility, Despite having been through the shit before, nothing could have prepared them for this. They're in way over their heads, but with no way out, they stay in it with the dogged determinatibil of the damned. \ \ \ ' ■ " ■ \''v. /■ ^ • A g e : 2 0 - 6 0 ^

Traits:

• Mostly low^ to middle class origins. The police officers tend to be older than the Guard. • With regards to vernacular, they're just t3T3ical New Yorkers. The sort of jive you could hear in line for the coffee shop or the subway; regular people trying as best they can to cope with an extreme situation. They may use a few terms left over from their training. • Altruistic and caring. They will go to almost any lengths to protect civilians and each other and get highly agitated to the point of enraged when someone dies under their watch. • Frustrated. They're here to protect people, but there are always complications. Either tactical decisions out of their scope force them to retreat, or the depredations of villains stop them from doing their jobs.

j^TDM CUﬂNCY'S FACTION: THUGS

The thugs are typical New Yorkers caught up in a mob mentality. During the mounting unrest in the ﬁrst couple weeks of the outbreak, these were the guys at the front of the crowd, looting, rioting, setting cars on ﬁre, throwing stones at the police. Some were already criminals. Others were swept along, the power trip too intoxicating to resist.

So long as they remain in a group, they have no moral identity, feeling no empathy or guilt. Therefore they most often travel in packs, preying on the weak or the "deserving" (the rich, authority ﬁgures, and so on), not just to survive but to feel in control. In this world, normal rules no l o n g e r a p p l y . .

The packs tend to have ringleaders, more criminally-minded individuals vvho work up the fervor of the mob and turn it toward more focused endeavors. They have an actual goal ih mind. To get back at the rich. To steal. To express rage against the change sweeping New York. .

These men and women are NOT gang members. They don't have secret handshakes. They don't have a particular gait or dialect. They don't have matehihg apparel or colors. They just are. And at the end of the day, when the pack breaks up, they just qren't.

Age: 20-35 ^ Accents/dialects: Mix of New Yorjk acc'^ei^,. Latino\ (^alects/tirban \ . " " " / and otherwise, depending on character archetype. For the Asian archetypes, while the accent would be interesting, it isn't crucial and should not be overplayed/

Traits: ^ z' \y

• Mostly young guys from low tCKi^ddle class. • With regards to vernacular, they're just typical New Yorkers. They don't use "hood" dialect or nicknames: Some of them might say "ain't", but it's not particular to this faction. • Opportunists after instant gratification. They have no agenda other than survival, loot and a good beat-down. Their victims are normally just people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Armed enemies, however, are fair game. Especially the JTF. • Teasing, taunting, almost playful. They like to feel in control. They get increasingly agitated when the lose it and will kill if they don't get their way.

^ T D M C U ﬂ N C Y ' S THF^r«'SS!CN FACTION: CRIMINALS

Criminals are a destructive organization that surfaced during the Riker's Island prison break. In the chaos following Black Friday, thousands of New Yorkers were haphazardly thrown into Riker's jail. But the increasingly understaffed jail couldn't handle the rising population. For weeks, the inmates knew nothing but abuse and neglect. Finally they rioted and together took control of the island, one correctional facility at a time. Now they've turned their sights on Manhattan, intent on destroying any semblance of order and controlling the city as kings.

They are violent, ruthless, angry and bitter. Every word that comes out offﬁeir mouths is fueled by hatred. Whereas the thugs see the city as a playground, the Criminals see itfas enemy terr^to^y to be won. They are not simply rampaging. Under the rule of their leader, they are' strategizmg, executing police, destroying key infrastructure, extorting civilians, conquering ground bit by bit. By the end, they want to see the city in rubble, with them sitting on a throne at the top of it. ,,

They are more homogenous than the thugs, having CQme together under similar conditions. Most of them belonged to gangs before the outbreak, but theirMregiances were broken the moment they stepped on the barge from Riker's Island. Now,^'^ wea^he same colors and carry the same banner, united in their hatred. That doesn't mea^hey.gll get along.

y^TDM CL/INCY'S FACTION: LAST MAN BATTALION

The men and women who joined the Last Man Battalion began as light infantry and National Guard who were deployed as part of a Joint Task Force QTF] to help organize relief efforts in New York City after the outbreak. However, as civil unrest increased in the city, their job description changed. Martial law was declared. They were now tasked with controlling an uncontrollable situation.

As the weeks passed, their actions became more and more extreme. Abuse, ^nd executions became commonplace - actions that were encouraged by their commander, a dect>r|ted general. Amidst public outrage, the U.S. President had no choice but to ask the general to step'down. In response, he accused the government of cowardice and defected, along with his most loyal^' followers, to create the Last Man Battalion, a group dedicated to restoring order no-matter the cost.

Those under the LMB banner see themselves as true patriots^.ahd the only ones who can actually bring order to New York City. They plan to retake the city-using fascist control:^3ân extreme interpretation of martial law. Specifically, local resid^^ have limited freedom and must abide by curfew and other such rules. Looters, dissenters ^d^®^^ph malcontents are locked away and beaten, if not straight out executed. Evervone eteg is an ^^ly combatant. While the soldiers of the LMB take pride injtîr¥e^ce. they i|| the worst sort of soldiers imaginable. They are hostile, aggressive, c'c^^lnd seMrrightjaous. In the battlefield, they are competent but ruthless fighters. Têy tally their^fc, tatt^êir opponents and leave the dead to rot. On their off-hours, they chug from stolen liquoraottles and "play" with whichever one of their prisoners is still alive. It can,^paid thatthey flfht liard and play hard, but they can't discern one from the other.

Accents/dialects: Accents Ironi arog^d the country [Midwestern and Southern] mixed in with the occasional New York4i&lect. ■

A^l W 1^1 FACTION: SOG

The SOG contrasts from the mihtaristic LMB, the chaotic Thugs and the vicious Criminals in that they are a much smaller and much more highly specialized organization pursuing a long-term goal. Not much is known of their history though some speculate they are Division agents gone rogue, the antithesis of the player.

Every member of the SOG is trained to a level equal to or surpassing the top-tier Special Forces of the world, and they master their experimental and highly advanced weaponry anSjgear with lethal efficiency. Intimidation and the ignorance of their enemies are their best defpiise, and-êir eerie black armor and face masks means their opponents never know as much abouttheSOG as the SOG knows about them. The SOG does not try to occupy land or strike at random targets fdr,fun of prgfittoyt are rather playing a long game. Mirroring the player characters, they-^ttâck a ntuch largeôe (the US Government] with pinpoint precision and lightning stri|ce tac!t|e^, dealing damage and disappearing into the night with their enemies none the wiser.

Age: 30-45 ■ :, X\ Accents/dialects: Neutral American. Any trace of tfjiational or regional dialect is polished off to increase their air of anonymity. While ethnicity is speciﬂed fpr the various characters in the faction, it should not be heard in the characters' accent. These characters' American accent should sound as neutral as possible.

Traits:

Highly educated and well tra le^d men and women from all walks of life, ethnicities and classes. They speak in soft voices, remaining calm even in the middle of combat - unnerving their enemies with cool murmurs where lesser foes would have screamed. Dedicated to a cause. In a sense, the SOG ﬁghters are fanatics - they are committed to a project that they will see completed, even at the cost of their own lives. Well spoken, they rarely use abbreviations and enunciate well. Impersonal toward one another, not overly verbose. They're professional and business- minded. They don't waste words.
