Subject Name Unknown Wiki

John wakes up alone and abandoned outside the Capitol City and away from everything he knows, with no memory. Picked up by Rebel forces and realizing he escaped the Capitol into a post-apocalyptic hellscape, he tries to reunite with his friend Lawrence, dodge demons who want him dead, and possibly stop a war - or just reunite with other runaways like himself.**Welcome to the Subject Name Unknown Wiki!**   Subject Name Unknown is an ARG that takes place in a post-apocalyptic Germany in the Year 2084/2085, where a Ring was erected around the Capitol City and separates the populace from the outside. This Ring is controlled by a company called Socience, which came into control after the 2021 COVID-19 crisis. This is a dictatorship. John fled the ring by joining the military forces and we caught up with him after he was left for dead with amnesia. John - and through him, the players - are now caught up in a war between the Rebels and Socience forces.

## Parties and Characters

* **John SNU** - The protagonist of the story. John has severe memory loss up to the event of him being found injured at a river side close to Fortress City some time before the 3rd of December 2084. John has been sent encrypted messages from a variety of sources: his friend Keziah who is being held in Capitol city wants him to help her escape; Lawrence who wants John to find him in building 617; Socience Inc. who want him to turn himself in for deserting their police force the Scouts; Zion who seem to want him to join
* **Keziah (A.K.A. "K")** - An unknown female friend of John who is being held at Capitol City. She has sent him several coded messages in the second throwaway email and Socience newsletter As well as multiple other media published by Socience. The players helped her escape the prison. From that point on she is the protagonist of the story.
* **Lawrence Crane (A.K.A. “Law”)** - An old friend of John who is likely the one behind the radio messages, the USB stick and the Ideogram Letter. John remembers having had a conversation with him on top of a building in which he told john “We should join the scouts to get out of this town. We are birds in a gilded cage”.
* **Martin Ross** - Rebel mole who works (used to work) in Soscience Inc. He is the one who gave us access to the drone control and hides messages for us to help the rebels. Manages a lot of IT and made the AI.

#### **The Rebels (A.K.A. “The Freebirds”)**

A group of rebels who found John severely injured and took him in to recover at their compound. The rebels aim to save people from Capitol City and teach them how to live outside of the Ring in the Zone (See Project Freebird files).

* **Marshall** - One of the rebels that saved John. John seems to trust him. Marshall handed over John’s personal items to him on the 28th of January.

#### **Socience Inc.** **(A.K.A. “The Company”)**

A mysterious company who, together with the state, control Capitol City. They control the new satellite based internet and they are likely the ones behind the drones.

* **Mila Hamilton** - Social media manager for Socience Inc. Handels all official Socience communications including their twitter and the Newsletter.
* **Teresa Gilbert** - Teresa works for Socience’s energy department. Through messages on the intranet, she sent a full map of the ring.
* **( Martin Ross )** see above, since he is no longer Socience employee
* **Ross Tanner** - A software engineer at Socience, specialises in image processing. He helped to develop the drone vision along with Martin, as well as programming the drone targeting system. He is friendly towards the new applicants (us) and is eager to share technical knowledge.
* **Lucas Barthlett** - The head of construction at Socience. His department built the walls. (see map) Seems to be obedient to the company.
* **Jeremy Dyer** - Responsible for the tactical planning of scout missions. Teresa stated that he is a confidential man
* **Gernot Hasselbrot (RIP)** - The former CEO of soscience. Not much is known about this character, except that he is seemingly the one who created the crawlers, as Crag refers to him as Father. (see Tilly Barracks)

#### **The Scouts**

The Scouts are the police force that handle inside of the Ring / Capitol City and also patrol outside of it, attempting to suppress terrorists (Rebels) and eliminate or convert Wildlings. They are one of the few groups that are allowed to leave the Ring. John and Lawrence (above) used the Scouts as an opportunity to escape the Ring. However, the Scouts are aggressive and deserting is a serious crime.

#### **Crawlers**

* **Crag Winkler (A.K.A. King Crawler)** - A mysterious person (or maybe not even that!) with a youtube account who has posted videos following John’s disappearance. Not much is known at this point except that the name is an annagram for “King Crawler”, so presumably the leader of the crawlers. He has posted a video showing he is hunting John.

#### Zion

A mysterious consortium of survivors / wildlings? It is assumed this is a safe haven for survivors. According to Marshalls Message (see Socience Newsletter 6) they wan't to form a new "Rebel" force without repeating the mistakes of the "old" Rebels

* SNUMEN - account of a real punk/rock band on Twitter, seems to be hacked by Zion and used to send encrypted messages to John or Socience
