The LoSH, more commonly known as the Legion, is a group dedicated to protecting the citizens of Malton -- and more specifically, the suburbs of Roftwood and Stanbury Village-- from all threats, whether the encroaching zombie hordes and the more nefarious groups of civilians in the area.
Group Structure
The Legion consists of three distinct branches:
1) The Assault Force specializes in the 'Military' skills and is primarily responsible for taking down designated threats.
2) The Support Team has the dual responsibilities of healing wounded Legion members and maintaining proper barricade levels at the assorted Legion buildings.
3) The Revivers are responsible for reviving first other members of the Legion and our allies, and then making sure that the revive points in the area are clear. Revivers should also be aware of who they are reviving so as to not allow 'zombie spies' free access to the land of the living.
While you are encouraged to specialize in one particular area, we also recognize that as you gain experience you will develop the abilities to help in other areas as well.
The Legion also has deviated somewhat from the singular command structure that many groups feature. All members of the Legion are allowed some level of autonomy in determining their daily activities. And rather than answering to a single leader, or even a leadership group, the Legion takes direction from its senior members. These members include, but are not limited to, Jake Cowan, Bruce Rogers, Lt MSU, Matsu Tsuko, and others.
Membership in the Legion (aka: How do I join?)
The Legion prides itself on being an open organization, accepting members from all walks of life, so long as they are able to uphold and maintain the Legion's standards. If you would like to join, simply contact us and add LoSH to your profile.
After joining, your character will be asked to denote his membership by displaying this group's logo. This can be done any number of ways, from simply adding it to your t-shirt or tattooing it to your arm. We've even got a few signet rings leftover for those that would prefer jewelry.
Dangerous Alliances
In April and May of 2006, the Legion's home district of Roftwood suffered three successive zombie invasions, first from the Pwotters, then the RRF, and then by the Shining Ones. The Legion, battered and bruised but still alive and more determined than ever to restore Roftwood to its former state of relative tranquility, decided to ally itself with three other powerful groups: the Walking Dead, the Secret Six and The Shadow League.
The Secret Six has shown the ability to lock down areas of the city to provide safe harbor for survivors, and keep those areas well-protected against all but the largest zombie assaults. These efforts include barricading buildings, keeping the buildings supplied with generators and fuel, protecting 'sleeping' survivors, and providing revives for their allied groups.
The Walking Dead, on the other hand, are a horde of zombies that work to thin the attacking hordes from the inside out. Preferring to feed on their zombie brethren rather than human survivors, the Walking Dead follow their own brand of the Legion's 'code' to protect the survivors from other zombies as well as dangerous human groups.
Previous Missions
Operation: Roftwood - Urban Renewal and Development
In May, 2006, the Legion successfully liberated the suburb of Roftwood from the feral zombie hordes remaining in the wake of the Pwotters, then the RRF, and then by the Shining Ones.
After just two weeks, on Monday, May 22nd, 2006, the Legion -- working alongside the Channel 4 News Team, the Malton Mafia, the Secret Six, and others -- were proud to report that all four areas outside of the Hildebrand Mall and the Eligius were 'zombie-free zones'. Considering that the entire region had been overrun by three major zombie hordes over the past two months, this was considered a major accomplishment. Soon after, the entire suburb of Roftwood became repopulated, with survivors discovering that the suburb had become 'safe' once again.
Operation: Stanbury Village - Neighborhood Revitalization
After the completion of their mission in Roftwood, the Legion shifted their focus to Stanbury Village. In their 'newbie' days, many of the Legion members had experienced a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Pwotters and the RRF there when Vere Cinema was overrun. Many members were killed, others were forced to retreat all the way to Tollyton. So, when the Secret Six proposed Nichols Mall as their next target for restoration, the Legion jumped at the chance.
The Pwotters had moved on. The RRF were occupied elsewhere. But, there was still a horde 130 zombies strong outside of the NW corner of Nichols Mall. Undaunted, the Legion and Secret Six moved in, barricading and adding generators and radio transmittors to the mall. In less than 24 hours, the mall went from being a place unsafe for sleeping, to having a small contingent sleeping inside. Within 48 hours, the mall was 'safe' again.
There were constant break-ins in the NW corner. The 'feeding drag' mechanism was introduced, presenting a new challenge to the Nichols survivors. But, the Legion persevered and, on June 25th, 2006, all of the zombies in the NW corner had been knocked down and more than half of the ferals, frustrated by the resistance they were now facing, had wandered off to easier feeding grounds. The Legion officially declared 'Victory' in the first stage of the Stanbury Village renewal effort.
Current Mission
The Legion is currently operating in Stanbury Village, attempting to help take back Nichols Mall from the zombie horde.
Zombie Threats: There is still a considerable feral horde in Stanbury Village. We are currently working to provide barricades and power to the entire suburb, making Stanbury Village 'safe' for survivors for the first time in recent memory.
Human threats: While feral stragglers from Roftwood remain a threat, far more meddlesome are the Apocalypse Horde GKers currently hitting Nichols Mall. Presumably, this is being done to undermine survivors' efforts in the Blackmore Building in Ridleybank. Verified GKers include: Housecall, a sense of unease, bubonic plague, and terminal flatulence. The Legion encourages the lead poisoning of these troublemakers on sight.
