The Resistance

The Resistance is a loosely reformed group, whose main opposition is against the Dictator and his military forces. They act much like a terrorist group, staging riots and setting off explosives at common public places. They roam the sewers and are experts at guerrilla warfare tactics. Due to the nature of their organization, they are not quick to recruit. They are selective and suspicious, only accepting those into their ranks they feel are truly committed to the cause. Or, at least, could benefit the unit as a whole.

Background

In the stable world, during the 20th and 21st centuries, revolution was a word that was thrown about. Even if the revolution had not been televised, it was still marketed. Che Guevara tee-shirts and posters, music and poems. Various trends and groups took the word to describe their “world changing” ideas. Outside the sheltered suburbs and gated communities and away from the merchandise and stores, revolution was far from a slogan printed on tee-shirts. Outside these plastic worlds revolution was something shouted through megaphones, fired from guns, and bled from wounds.

In 2048 the revolution in Neo-Tokyo, was not a commercial revolution. Strong, proud and loyal resistance fighters stood up for what they believed in.. only to be crushed in an efficient and brutal military blow. Three years ago, the flesh and blood revolution for Neo-Tokyo was crushed, and the war was lost. Today, in a shabby bar on the water, the seeds of revolution are planted once again.

 OOC Information 

The Resistance is headed by GM Peopleonfire Sporg and co-run by GMs Jessica Susser and Pistol Mixmaster. The Resistance is an approved major faction in the sim and is used to generate conflict in the sim. It is also a secretive organization, and unless you have been informed ICly of anyone's involvement do not assume you know who or what they represent. This is Godmoding, and can and will get you banned.

The Resistance, like other sim factions, will have a limited amount of players which will increase in time as the sim grows in population. Please do not take offense if you are denied access to the faction because of this. Also, ranks are gained through IC involvement with the faction and like with any other organization it takes time and effort to work your way up. If you have any questions regarding this faction, please contact the above mentioned.
