The year is 520 A.C. and the place is unlike any other: Parties rage across the roof tops, technology continues to climb, and the city grows, as it dominates the entire world, thanks to the advanced military might of the once city-state. This city, of course, is the illustrious and vibrant New Moirai, heart of the whole world. It is in this city's streets and neighborhoods, that humanity has built itself a throne, worthy of all the splendor of mankind, and reflecting of our own greatness. Indeed, many consider New Moirai to be a testament to mankind, and in turn, those who say so could not be closer to the truth. For while the city of New Moirai does exemplify the heights of what humans can achieve, it does just as well to show to darkness that lurks within us.
Between the extravagant parties, and beneath the research labs of the worlds finest minds, lay the petty squabbles of power among those who dare reach for it. Gang wars run wild through the streets, as the rich party themselves to a slow, hedonistic death behind the finest guards that their never ending money can afford. Meanwhile, the poor eek out rough, violent, and mostly short, lives as they fight. And it can only get worse from there, as the city continues in what seems to be a inescapable downward spiral. Separated into four distinct districts, New Moirai city was once considered a paradise, but that is now clearly not the case. Never the less, the four districts are as following:
>Core District
The beating heart of the city, and home of only the most highest profile individuals, it is here that poverty is a non-factor. Indeed, it is rumored that only in the core, has no one ever gone to sleep hungry. Whether or not this rumor is true is uncertain, but it cannot be denied that the Core is the wealthiest of the five districts. It is here, amongst the Golden Spires and heaven scratching Skyscrapers, that the mortal gods of the city play, hosting unimaginable parties and, to their amusement, engaging in whatever entertainments that they wish. Although now steeped throughly in decadence and hedonist tendencies, it remains the base of the City Council, and the Core District Guards, the most powerful, and ruthless of the citie's protectors.
>Maritime District
>Archival District
>Botanical District
>Industrial District

Name: Jay Gadenson
Faction Name: The Gilded Ash
Fluff: Truly, if there ever was the most exemplar example of hope on this forsaken Earth, it is Jay Gadenson. A man born in destitution and poverty, his ambition allowed himself the power, the strength, the will, to do whatever it is he desired. But yet again still, Fate found itself destined to curse him, with the most terrible curse of all: Love. He fell in love Delores Aberdine, a woman as fair as her family was rich, and indeed his limitless ambition was found corralled by the lasso of love, so that it would forever be for Delores, and her alone. And yet, Fate found itself cursing him again, and set Jay off to war in the conquest of Allertenosa for the sake of resources. In that time Jay found himself glory and fame, and yet lost his love. While he was away, his beloved was arranged with Peter Vandeross, belonging to one of the wealthiest families in New Moirai. Arriving back and learning this, he set out on one mission: To become rich and prestigious enough to win her back. The source of his fortune, whether from crime, drugs, real estate, stocks, it need not matter. With this fortune, he would not spend it on parties and celebrations; he would spend it on the GREATEST of parties and celebrations. Every night, every week. And the whole of New Moirai was invited, from the lowest of dregs, to the wealthiest banker.
Yet indeed, merely owning the money is nothing. The stain on Gadenson, the stain of a poorman, is forever, and so forever keeps him out of reach of the well-to-do, and his Delores. But all the more still, he will flaunt his gold, throw his parties, throw his extravagence in all places and facets in every way, in the hope that one day his Delores will love him again. Where a lesser man might say "You can't do the impossible,", Jay Gadenson will say, "My dear boy, of course you can."
Faction Fluff: This is the collection of Gadenson's associates, his business partners and few friends he has that he has recruited on his mission. Why they signed on is irrelevant. How they will help Jay, how they can be of use, is priority. For the sake of it all, any man is worth Jay Gadenson's time, so long as it is time well spent.

3. Sending your smuggler out around the docks, he looks for information about the kidnappings and strange ongoings surrounding the District. Walking through the dark streets, it seems everyone is on edge, as they crowd around the bars and well lit areas. Well, every one but a few quiet, dark faced men. Suspecting something foul a foot, the Smuggler gives chase after them as they flee into the shadows. Firing a shot after them, one of the men fall over, his colleagues abandoning him. Pulling aside his dirty suit, the man seemed long dead even before being shot. Reporting back, the Smuggler seemed…Unnerved.

Like something was watching them…However, after doing a bit of searching, you come up with a letter. It's a bit singed, but it read's as so:
"Dear ____

Mechanical and electrical gates, automated weaponry, rail-less carriages, and much, much more. While the Archival District may have been more technologically advanced, the Industrial district was almost the superior when it came to physical engineering.
And then you met the knight. Standing at 9'ft, and holding what seemed to be a anti-tank rifle, the giant "knight' was being scrambled over by a team of professionals, working on any last minute calibrations. As you neared, the chief scientists smiled and greeted you. Proud to have one of their creations hand picked for field testing, the lower-ranked adepts seemed overjoyed. Quickly, they began running over the combat commands and other processes need to command this "Knight"

>EVENT:
New Moirai; A city, filled with people, life and energy. From the glowing halls of Archival, the Golden Sky Scrapers of CORE and the bustling markets of Maritime, few cities in the world could even begin to compare to the life and energy that New Moirai had. Usually, at least.
On this night, New Moirai sat quietly, as if holding its breath as a dark shade of silence settled upon the peoples all across the district. No one seemed at ease, and many people would come to speak of this night in vivid memory, as few could dare sleep. It was as if the utter quietness of the city had taken a hold on the lungs of its people, bottling up their air.
And then releasing it in one fell, screech. In the Maritime District, few were prepared for the sudden and catastrophic destruction of one of the Meidician Casino, home to one of Maritimes most vicious gangs. Broke almost cleanly in half, by hulking, giant hands made of bone and nerves, all could see the tumbling of the Tower.
But the source of the destruction quickly disappeared as soon as it came, the giant hands falling apart into the bones of the deceased, as tower toppled into the streets below. But, the nightmare was not soon over. Reanimated by the hateful energies, the bones of the fallen began to rise, rebuilding themselves in horrific shapes and attacking nearby people. It was only thanks to the quick and tireless counter-attack of the Black Ergets, were the battle lines made, and the District not over ran.
"People of the Maritime District! This is your lady speaking! Please stay within your homes and estates, and do not leave under any circumstances! If you are unable to return home, proceed to the nearest church!"
>ANNOUNCEMENT:
The D3 rolled at the beginning of the chart will determine how many turns it will take the undead forces to start breaking through the Black Ergets lines. It will also represent how long the Undead will attack after breaking through. You have that many turns to prepare, and than stave off the attacks.

1-2: Johnson would be, horrified at such sights, of dead men walking once more, striking against those who still walk as living beings. While the Marinetime District's Lady may be insane for saying that the populus should hide away, the Black Ergets may provide some time to rally up a militia to provide much needed defence against the rising tide of the undead.
Heading back into the streets, as the forbidding thunder from the clouds above strikes the city, Johnson would preach to the fleeing masses, requesting those willing to defend their livelyhoods to stand forward and bring forward what they can.For it is now not about the threat of the government that endangers the people, but a clear, evil force striking against the people of New Moirai, and it is up to them to assist in defending their kin against such horrifying monstosities!

As the gunfire of the Black Erget was heard as they fended off the shambling hordes, a Courier was sent to deliver a critical message to Ellis Kane. Avoiding the Marinetime Guards patrolling the streets, she would reach the place where he would be: The HQ of Kane & Kane Docking Co. Entering inside, she urged the dock workers inside to meet with him, as she has a letter to deliver.
Once it reached him, the letter would be rather to the point, about what Johnson asks of the leader of the Dock Workers Union:
"To Ellis Kane,
I am James Jennifer Johnson, otherwise known as 'JJJ' when it comes to corporate manners. I am here to ask for aid in setting up a bastion against the rather apparent threat of the walking dead. For while the District Lady suggests that the people retreat to their homes, it will leave them divided and defenceless when the 'Black Ergets' lines fall.
All I request is three things: Supply able men and weapons to help defend the weak and the helpless, guide those fearing for their lives to the bastion I speak of, and hold the line when the district lady's army falters. I have the hope that the people can be saved from this necromantic threat, and through our combined efforts, we may save even more.
~ JJJ"

My every slash must be quick and lethal, my guard seemingly open but insurmountable, I must be quick and efficient in battle. Peace must be the ever clam eye of the storm in battle, the rock that the enemy breaks against. My foes must see me kill without effort in masse, and so must my followers. I must be the terror and rallying point, the void against which all the battle plays. 1/2

He fell in love Delores Aberdine, a woman as fair as her family was rich, and indeed his limitless ambition was found corralled by the lasso of love, so that it would forever be for Delores, and her alone. And yet, Fate found itself cursing him again, and set Jay off to war in the conquest of Allertenosa for the sake of resources. In that time Jay found himself glory and fame, and yet lost his love. While he was away, his beloved was arranged with Peter Vandeross, belonging to one of the wealthiest families in New Moirai. Arriving back and learning this, he set out on one mission: To become rich and prestigious enough to win her back. The source of his fortune, whether from crime, drugs, real estate, stocks, it need not matter. With this fortune, he would not spend it on parties and celebrations; he would spend it on the GREATEST of parties and celebrations. Every night, every week. And the whole of New Moirai was invited, from the lowest of dregs, to the wealthiest banker.
Yet indeed, merely owning the money is nothing. The stain on Gadenson, the stain of a poorman, is forever, and so forever keeps him out of reach of the well-to-do, and his Delores. But all the more still, he will flaunt his gold, throw his parties, throw his extravagence in all places and facets in every way, in the hope that one day his Delores will love him again. Where a lesser man might say "You can't do the impossible,", Jay Gadenson will say, "My dear boy, of course you can."
Faction Fluff: This is the collection of Gadenson's associates, his business partners and few friends he has that he has recruited on his mission. Why they signed on is irrelevant. How they will help Jay, how they can be of use, is priority. For the sake of it all, any man is worth Jay Gadenson's time, so long as it is time well spent.

Name: Dr. Arkonas Robinson
Faction Name: Robinson's Garden
Fluff: Dr Robinson was once a normal biologist living in the Botanical District. He is one of those that specialized in altering living creatures and gene splicing to create new ones. After the scourge he continued to go to work dutifully, and this ended in his slow slip into madness. Some might say it was the mix of airborne altered viruses and chemicals that did it, some might say it was the cramped dark interrior, some might say it was that one time he had to implant a man's brain into a dog because the person truly thought they were a dog, and some might say it was the rampant alchoholism and abuse of failed drugs that were supposed to make you smarter after the dog surgery. Whichever the case Dr. Robinson's mind finally broke and he slipped into the depths fo the Botanical District. He reaperaed recently, leading a gang of the insane and twisted.
Faction Fluff: A group of experiments, altered humans, and others who have joined under Dr. Robinson in his mad quest. Usually just end up securing resources, test subjects, and materials for his experiments in exchange for protection and power.

Faction Name: Society (The Council, The Economic League of Fellows, The Men in White, The Golden Tribe, ETERNITY)
Name: No One in Particular
Faction Fluff: Society is difficult to pin down. Its nuances and details are ever-shifting, moving about with the specific details of the age. When land is conquered, society changes with its conquerors, in the small manners of enunciation in which people speak, in the fashionable dances and clothes, in the way people make love. Oftentimes, the details of high society change - the name, the ornamentation, the dressing. But society is independent of itself - it could not survive otherwise. No one man can throttle fashion, society, organization. It would be, simply put, impossible. Which is why the steadily-increasing whispers of a second society - a council, an economic league, a golden tribe of Ishmael - are ridiculous. Parties thrown between friends are just that, and nothing more. The webweaving of societal politics goes on as usual, independent and individual, and the hedonistic details of the rich are as uncoordinated and spontaneous as ever.
No One in Particular could possibly control fashion - could control society - could control a city through its vice. It's simply not possible.
Fluff: A man in a mask can be anyone he chooses; or, if they prefer, No One in Particular. So long as the mask remains, so, too, does the mystique.

AS the fighting continues, more broadcasts are sent out, as the Black Ergets fall back to better prepared positions.

Name: Jay Gadenson
Faction Name: The Gilded Ash
Fluff: Truly, if there ever was the most exemplar example of hope on this forsaken Earth, it is Jay Gadenson. A man born in destitution and poverty, his ambition allowed himself the power, the strength, the will, to do whatever it is he desired. But yet again still, Fate found itself destined to curse him, with the most terrible curse of all: Love. He fell in love Delores Aberdine, a woman as fair as her family was rich, and indeed his limitless ambition was found corralled by the lasso of love, so that it would forever be for Delores, and her alone. And yet, Fate found itself cursing him again, and set Jay off to war in the conquest of Allertenosa for the sake of resources. In that time Jay found himself glory and fame, and yet lost his love. While he was away, his beloved was arranged with Peter Vandeross, belonging to one of the wealthiest families in New Moirai. Arriving back and learning this, he set out on one mission: To become rich and prestigious enough to win her back. The source of his fortune, whether from crime, drugs, real estate, stocks, it need not matter. With this fortune, he would not spend it on parties and celebrations; he would spend it on the GREATEST of parties and celebrations. Every night, every week. And the whole of New Moirai was invited, from the lowest of dregs, to the wealthiest banker.
Yet indeed, merely owning the money is nothing. The stain on Gadenson, the stain of a poorman, is forever, and so forever keeps him out of reach of the well-to-do, and his Delores. But all the more still, he will flaunt his gold, throw his parties, throw his extravagence in all places and facets in every way, in the hope that one day his Delores will love him again. Where a lesser man might say "You can't do the impossible,", Jay Gadenson will say, "My dear boy, of course you can."
Faction Fluff: This is the collection of Gadenson's associates, his business partners and few friends he has that he has recruited on his mission. Why they signed on is irrelevant. How they will help Jay, how they can be of use, is priority. For the sake of it all, any man is worth Jay Gadenson's time, so long as it is time well spent.

Name: Ellis Kane
Fluff: The Kane family is as old as the city itself, running the Kane Family Fishery employing a large amount of workers and owning various other assets in the city. The Kane family has always been seen as one of the “good ones” always supplying a good wage and decent working conditions. However come the Scourge that destroyed much of the Maritime district the Kane family has been brought low. Ellis Kane is a hard man, whilst born rich he cares more for an honest days labour and always used what he could to help his fellow man. All around him he has seen the district decay and suffer under the gangs. Ellis stands at almost seven feet tall a monster of a man with a pragmatic attitude and honorable personality to match it up. He has vowed to return the Maritime district to prosperity or die trying.

2: As they were doing that, Johnson was busy gathering civilians to retreat to the Ancient Mariners Square. If people hid in their homes, they would be divided in the face of the undead horde, but if they united together in a area which also happens to be near the sea, they could even out the numerical odds and stand a better chance against the shambling corpses.

3-4: The men who were capable were already hard at work constructing barricades in preparation of the undead hordes. Anything that could be used to build up defences were used to improvised a wall, from small rocks and bricks, to entire abandoned wagons, anything and everything must be used to defend against the upcoming hordes.

Name: Anziani Giovanni
Faction Name: Giovanni Clan
Fluff: Charming but ruthless and cunning Anziani leads the small band of vampires, most like the last remains of the mighty giovanni clan. With the mafia critically weakened, he moves to fill the void of procuring all kinds of vices and services for the denizens of the core district. His charm and vampiric beguilement surely helping him dealing with the upper class.
Faction Fluff: The remains of the giovanni clan only remember bits and pieces from before new morai. Their clan decimated, their patriarch put to the true death, they were captured and put to sleep in sarcophagion board of prisonships. Washed into the city by the scourge their sarcophagi remained sealed and undamaged until someone foolish enough managed to open the one containing Anziani. While finding the rest of this brethren, a slow and ardous search, as they seem to be scattered amongst the districts, Anziani managed to take over a (relatively) fancy nightclub, the current base of operations of the giovanni clan.

Name: Kazuo Takami
Faction Name: Akatora-Gumi
Fluff: A poor immigrant from the east, Kazuo found himself lacking a job upon arriving in the Industrial District. Meeting with several fellow of his countrymen in this foreign land, they determined to make a living no matter the method. Forming a gang, these men honed their already remarkable fighting prowess, and set out into the world, ready to face anything.
Faction Fluff: Named to exemplify their ferocity, the Akatora-Gumi will stay loyal to their contractors, that is until the gold ceases to flow, of course. They will act as enforcers, guards, and have even been known to carry out assassinations. And to cross them means death, the authorities failed to recognize the corpse of the last man to make that mistake.
