Liberty City Survivors
The L.C.S. is a rag-tag group of survivors hell-bent on carving out a piece of Malton for themselves. Their home city, reduced to a smoldering wasteland due to an accident in the government labs, served their purposes perfectly. Founded by a rogue scientist known only as 'Wienerschnitzel' with the sole purpose of resilient survival, the L.C.S. doesn't care much for rebuilding. Ruin is perfectly fine as it is - the thrill of the hunt (and being hunted), the taste of home-brewed whisky after a day's work, the fear in the eyes of those who oppose you... It is what makes life worth living. Basking in the glow of a red sunset while being waited on by somewhat mutated servants has its charm, after all.
Still, living the survivor's life is hard. As more government teams moved in to clean up the mess, the L.C.S. found themselves in search of a new haven. The Malton infestation caught group commander Rubanyik's eye - a group as accustomed to wastelands and nightmarish situations as the L.C.S. is almost naturally suited to capitolize on the urban decay in the zombie-ridden city. Where others fight feverishly for hope against all odds, waiting to be evacuated from peril, the L.C.S. is built to thrive under pressure.
The world is crashing down around us - might as well make it one hell of a ride.
History
Commander Rubanyik left the smoldering ruin of Liberty City on a bone-chilling February evening in 2006, and never looked back. As always, the commander scouted ahead, ordered by Wienerschnitzel to make sure Malton would be a suitable home for a group such as theirs. What he found there did not disappoint. Getting in was tricky - bribing the helicopter pilots to allow him to hide in one of the drop crates was easy, but getting a working parachute wasn't. Picking himself up from the remains of the crates, Drakan surveyed his surroundings and was amazed at what he saw.
The screams. The looting. The murders. The hordes of zeds lurching after frantic survivors. The sweet stench of rot. He was home.
After familiarizing himself with the lay of the land, he sent for the rest of the group. Their journey was arduous, and many did not make it. This, of course, is part of the L.C.S. way of life. Those that died en-route were left by the side of the road for scavengers, apparently unfit to be true members. Those that did make it to the city found that life eternal waited in the ruined streets.
Long presumed dead, Wienerschnitzel has recently resurfaced in Malton. Having spent years in the city, he was pleased to see commander Rubanyik following his standing orders. As the war machine slowly starts, Wienerschnitzel waits in the shadows, leaving Drakan as the group spokesman and de-facto leader.
Announcements
Commander Rubanyik is pleased to announce that the time has come for the L.C.S. to surface. Due to a recent influx of reinforcements and the return of group founder Wienerschnitzel, the time has come to take what is ours. The state of troop strength being as it is, all members are urged to make their way to Huntley Heights. Once regrouped, building of a base of operations will commence.
Rules and Regulations
Moaners and box-fillers alike can join the L.C.S., provided they adhere to a few simple rules.
1. Harm none within the group, be they living or dead.
Our brotherhood must be free from in-fighting. The occasional stray bullet or infected bite is to be expected in such a close-knit community, but salvos of hot lead or a flurry of bites will be met with permanent exile and a lasting S.O.S. flag.
2. Do nothing which harms the L.C.S. community.
No matter how appealing the bribe may be, you will be hunted down like a dog if you sell out your comrades.
3. Obey the leadership.
The L.C.S. is built on trust and love of conflict. Refusal of standing orders issued by senior members is a grave offense, especially in Malton where one must always be on guard.
4. Spread the joy.
Choose your battles, but choose them often. Violate sensibilities, but always with a touch of humor. Offend. Dismember. Claim for the L.C.S. that which is rightfully ours. Take what is not given freely.
5. Help where help is needed.
If any non-member hails the L.C.S. for help, it must be offered to the best of our abilities. Bringing more to the fold is paramount to our success in Malton.
6. Brain Rot is forbidden.
If you're a rot, you get shot. L.C.S. is based on fluidity and the ability to switch sides serves to further our goals. Partisanship is *ahem* discouraged.
Mission
The L.C.S. feels it can bring some much needed... clarity... to Malton. To do this, a sphere of influence is needed. It is the mission of the Liberty City Survivors to gain notoriety, build a base of operations and find our enemies. "What is survival without the battle to do so?" The group founder's words still ring true, especially in Malton where death is only the beginning.
Standing Orders
At present, the L.C.S. is diluted to the point of irrelevance. Commander Rubanyik has therefore ordered every member to scout bring as many new members into the fold as possible. Our standing field strength is what gives us legitimacy - without fighters, we are nothing.
