MEMBERGROUP INFORMATION.

the fallen received their name after what the world's basically come to; an everlasting fall. it only seems to be getting worse as the days go by, and thus, the island personnel started calling themselves the fallen. it was started by max cardigan, with the help of benjamin kanst. the island was secured with a handful of their squad, and after coming to terms with calling it home, their only goal now is to survive. whether they like it or not, their peacekeeping ways of just wanting to live don't mean anything to scar, and they constantly find themselves trying to protect themselves and their people from any attempts scar may take against the island's numbers and resources.

strict rules are in place for anyone who's considered a civilian on the island for their safety. punishments aren't handed out for people who break the rules, but max isn't a very happy camper when the people she's trying to keep out of harms way, seem to be causing it for themselves.

two weapons of your choice, and three slots for miscellaneous items. the starter money that fallen's members are granted after being accepted is 150$. keep in mind that all fallen characters receive a 20$ discount on cures from the black market.

scar's your typical bad guy alliance. they want nothing more than to rule what's left of the world, and if they have to step on everyone still alive in order to do so, so be it. they don't home any sympathy for people below them, and the thought of opening their gates to allow survivors in to live has never crossed their minds. they used to belong to a very large company that was world-based, with its operations mainly underneath san francisco, but after the virus was released, most of the members of the company either vanished or offed themselves. the ones that remained alive are still underground, trying to find a way to reverse the effects, or at least stabilize it in order to return to the surface. naturally, it's only the main scientists that are overly worried about the evolution that the virus seems to be taking up, while the self-proclaimed leader of the faction reigns for more death and destruction.

like grims row, the underground has a very strict rule process. but, unlike grims row, if you break their rules here, they shoot you. and no, they don't care.

if you do choose to be apart of scar, keep in mind that they use their arms-people as their life-shield. although this means that you'll be given better quality armor and weapons, you're ultimately signing your life away to their every command. those who remain loyal and carry out their operation without any questions are rewarded with the protection and peace that scar only has for its members. show resistance to their orders, and they'll hunt you down like a dog until their secrets are one hundred percent safe.

three weapons of your choice, and three slots for miscellaneous items. scar's starter money is 200$, with scar's armed forces gaining a bonus 50$.

the survivors are the lone wolves who're still in san francisco, fending for their lives, salvaging anything they can. they're either uninterested or aren't aware of grim's rows open door policy to allow survivors onto the island for shelter and safety, or just prefer to handle themselves by themselves. they usually stick to themselves, fearful of being around too many people, and attracting the infected. but there are some small groups that mesh together to protect themselves, and for the most part, no one bothers them; not even scar, when they're surfacing to get more supplies or specimens. it's a lot harder for people who stick to themselves for whatever reasons, but it's not like temporary alliances can't be made for a winning situation.

two weapons, one only being of choice, with the other being a low standard melee, and one for a miscellaneous item. survivors' money will depend on their occupation / situation before the outbreak officially occured, and the admins will judge as to how much they're granted to start with.

as for the infected, they're exactly what they say: infected. only, they're unaware of their infection. there's rare cases where someone's blood and DNA will entwine with the virus, and it doesn't take the same effects. it's a slower process, and they appear normal up until the switch goes off. and once it does, they become feral, blood-thirsty and cannibalistic. but they only happen in small bouts; almost like dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. the best thing about this, however, is that the other infected don't bother you. you smell the same to them, for the virus is still implanted within your blood. so living amongst the streets of san francisco is more than possible, and if it weren't for the risk of getting gunned down, it'd almost be a perfect escape.

any bodily transfer between saliva, blood, etc. can infect another human, as well as biting and scratching, if there's infected blood located anywhere underneath the nail..

infected individuals will be based off their underlining alliance / territory. for example, an infected survivor will be granted with the survivor's starter stats, whereas an infected member of fallen will have fallen's.
