The 7 Insane

Us who need help- us who may be lost
- The 7 Insane mottoThe 7 Insane, a group focused on helping those mentally ill across the apocalypse, although certainly not perfect it can help you. Whoever you are, they might help you. But be warned, come across this group with no good intentions- you are going to want to die. 
== History ==
 
=== 2080 ===
The group begins after the Flash, in the year 2080. Not being called "The 7 Insane" yet, instead being called just "7", to represent the luck they'd need to have to survive. They took in wastelanders, criminals- only remaining hidden speaking to themselves only. Everyone helping and working each other together. Already the isolation began- with some already becoming slightly unhinged. After a couple years of complete solitude, the 7 made a small army seeing they'd need more space for survivors. They managed to conquer a couple nearby groups heading rim of Illinois. This made neighboring groups feel threatened by the exposure of this group. The Waltz learnt of this group, the Waltz being a family of generals and strategists, wanting to regain their glory they joined the group and became the winning factor for the 7. Still, they lost many materials but was quickly retaken by these invasions. Isolation crept inside the minds of the citizens, like parasites crawling into their ears through the years. 
=== 2140 ===
The Waltz ruled for twenty years (approximately 60 years since the creation of the 7). The people became paranoid, as they thought the Waltz were going to corrupt. 
=== 2156 ===
Being now out of office they were replaced by a more "suitable" leader which promised freedom and prosperity. When in the high throne they welcomed solely criminals and no one else, this caused law to break in the grounds. This caused a civil war in the 7, the revolutionary side being lead by a young Aldrich Waltz. Succeeding to overtake the "suitable" leader Waltz was nicknamed "Prometheus" for his intellect in strategy. 
=== 2158+ ===
Now the year 2158, Waltz renamed the 7 into the "7 Insane", welcoming everyone but especially the mentally ill- to give them a chance in the apocalypse. Already Waltz being a Chessmen, he hired the bounty huntress "Artemis" naming her Queen in this game. Now beginning to invade places all over Illinois. In this he hired multiple people. Including a doctor to maintain even a little bit of sanity inside the 7 Insane, a actress and crew to preform for The 7 Insane, and as well as a writer to spread false information to enemies and such. Speaking of 7, he only had six people- not 7.
Beginning to take over all of Illinois, a group inside The 7 Insane started to get thoughts on Prometheus- thinking he was tyrannical and a maniac for his countless invasions and was already too powerful. This group called OWL (Our Withering Laments) spread from Waltz's rule heading into Sunrise Island, Ohio. Waltz didn't see a problem with this, but knew they would attack one day. He took the rest of Illinois and build cities and walls all around the borders but still welcoming most people. Waltz heard of the child of Maxi arriving, their sister dying in the end. Waltz sent their spy to get him and Jack gleefully agreed. Prometheus and Jack shook hands, Jack helping Waltz in engineering in return for funding in Jack's personal projects. Jack became The 7 Insane's most valuable asset- Jack searching deep into biology and engineering. Jack made guns, tanks and cars for The 7 Insane and for POWs for Jack's experimentation on. Jack focused on steampunk technology with slight pinches of modern tech. Making droids, flamethrowers, and laser guns with the right amount of funding, The 7 Insane began making factories and mines for the materials necessary. This gained Jack the title of "The Devil of Hephaestus". The 7 Insane increased in rivals from OWL's propaganda, making it out to be a dystopia. Still, nothing really truly major but would still be a pain. Waltz declared war with OWL before any major damage was caused, but the borders of Ohio are protected by the same propaganda filled groups, The 7 Insane and OWL fight in the borders of Ohio. 
The 7 Insane is now known as a "Circus" to most people. Waltz begins to make mines and later on become a good supplier of copper and iron. Making so transportation is very advanced in The 7 Insane, using old train stations and cars. Biology increases because of Jack and the main chemist, Isabella but is still not really that well. The main thing for The 7 Insane is its engineering- and already attracting some of the best engineers in the United States. Soon as the war with OWL and The 7 Insane had begun, Artemis and Prometheus had made a complex communication system relying on whistles for stealthier units and horns for more destructive and loud units. This makes The 7 Insane superior over OWL for now its soldiers have an increase in communication. Jack has a bad reputation even inside The 7 Insane for torturing alive any criminals or truly just anyone, Waltz makes it illegal for Jack to kidnap 7 Insane residents but Jack is still disliked. This also causes instability for Waltz- protecting a criminal and some are already thinking Waltz may be corrupt. Waltz fights on the fourth rank of the chessboard, and Jack hears of rumors of a cure to revive people in Texas. Prometheus funds Jack a small bit before Jack heads out and gives him permission to communicate with Waltz at any point. Waltz then gets a gift from the people being a literal obsidian throne costing much to make but free for Waltz. As well as a cane and suitcase. This marks the currently known history of The 7 Insane. But this is all you need to know, parasites of madness haunting still- a dystopia no, but neither a Utopia. Waltz may be a good leader but no perfect one- ruthless in nature he will kill anyone in his path. For the lives of the citizens for "Us who need help- us who may be lost" 
== Currency ==
=== Ticks ===
This is the main currency for The 7 Insane and all of Illinois. These are worth a lot in Illinois but worth very little outside of Illinois. 
==== Appearance ====
A round copper coin with a clock carved onto the tail and 7 onto the front of the coin with ridges at the middle of the coins. These are produced in factories in what is modern-day Springfield. 
=== ND ===
ND or NC is also used but below Ticks in Illinois. These are mostly used by strangers and are actually pretty common. They are used as a replacement for Ticks at times. Commonly also used by smugglers and other illegal transfers. 
== The Whistle Language ==
Also known as the "Language of Death", the relatively unknown meaning of them serves as a good form of communication for troops in the wastelands of the United States. Made by Prometheus after O.W.L was made, these whistles prove a healthy tactic with very few people outside Illinois knowing the meaning of it. 
=== Shot Fired ===
Based on old hunter tricks- this is a sharp whistle made to be heard that a shot was fired by a fellow team mate. Like old hunters, they use the trick to slightly distract the opponent before shooting, like a rabbit turning its head at the shooter. 
=== Call ===
This two beat melody whistle is usually done every two minutes, one unit whistles- others are forced to whistle back the same melody. This is used to track numbers and spread the whistle around. 
= Notes: =
* ICly, The 7 Insane's history is hidden, barely known until the point of Waltz's rule since the group wasn't that big until Waltz. 
* They rule in 7 String Chester , their base of operations with seven towers in Indiana- each for the main 7.
