The Survivors

**The Survivors** refers to individuals who survived the Justice Tower Massacre, and joined the anti-RUC resistance. It is said that their prior history with the Radioactive Uber Clan was instrumental in bringing about the RUC's downfall. Though the name refers to the fact that they survived the massacre, the name also applies to members of the Justice Tower protest community who weren't present when the massacre took place.

## Justice Tower

See: Justice Tower

Justice Tower was a massive housing complex located in the northern region of the Peninsula. It was well known for not only being a place to make one's home, but also a living as well. Those can join the Tower's workforce to help maintain the tower, and get paid for their efforts. In addition, members of the workforce are not required to pay rent. Their (tbd) etc etc... has made them a popular destination for many people trying to find their lot in life.

### The Protest Community

After investors came and bought up all of the rooms in the tower, many of its longtime residents were kicked out, and many who came after were not allowed in. Eventually, many of these evictees stubbornly refused to leave, instead building shacks and eventually forming a massive community around the base of the tower.

### The Massacre

Known as the Justice Tower Massacre, this was the event that many agree kickstarted the Peninsula War. After gathering more followers and holding some "important meetings," the RUC returned and was able to overcome the combined strength of the protest community and slaughter many of its members. The Survivors... well, managed to avoid getting killed during the ordeal\*, hence why they're called the Survivors, if that wasn't obvious enough. The RUC was noted to be particularly brutal while carrying out the massacre, even more so than usual. Besides just straight up killing people, they also made sure to keep some alive as long as possible to torture them to death, while also tormenting others with the corpses of their friends. Perhaps this was due to their multiple past failures to break through the community's combined strength, which wounded their pride and self-image of being "powerful" army.

## Notable Survivors

1. Steve: A Vanguard from the country of [D]. He was an exchange student to the same school as A.B. in the Republic, and the two became close friends. Years later, he would come to Justice Tower on the invitation of A.B., though their luck would run out it wouldn't be long until the tower's management began their mass evictions. [etcetc]. Having received training back in [D], he was one of the more experienced fighters at the beginning of the Peninsula war, though he still didn't have an opportunity to test his training in a real combat scenario before the war occurred. Regardless, this fact was enough for O'Ryan to grant him his own personal unit. Primarily fought with a hammer during the war, but he has experience with polearms, rifles, and shotguns.
2. Fredericka: A citizen from the Republic, who traveled to Justice Tower to finally get away from her hometown in [region], after multiple unspoken incidents that drove her to pack her things and leave. Noted to have been somewhat awkward, socially. She's also interested in learning magic, though having not learned the art properly, her technique was rather sloppy. Besides this, she is most well-known for being the person that Albert picked a fight with and made a scene over, which culminated in him getting kicked out and subsequently going to Popeye to get the RUC to target the community.
3. Ira: A citizen of the Republic who primarily worked in a casino in [DMS], until a fight broke out in the casino grounds that, rather than try to de-escalate, he jumped in to join the brawl. He was fired for this incident, and came to Justice Tower to find a new way to make a living. He was most well-known for his high killcount of RUC troops and officers, leading to some in the Resistance to dub him "The RUC Slayer."
4. Mike: No info yet
5. Lodington: An oddball with a penchant for corn. Also is the leader of a cult... or rather, an attempt at one. Has a grand total of three members... who all died.
6. A.B.: A citizen from the Republic who came to Justice Tower to make a living, after the failure of his old friends' startup theatre troupe. During the war, he fought under O'Ryan's forces, and was a part of Steve's personal unit. He worked as one of the cooks for O'Ryan's forces, with many resistance members praising him for his culinary skills.
7. Reese: Originally from [P], she travelled all the way to Justice Tower to find a way to make a living and to take her first steps towards independence. Unfortunately, she happened to arrive just as soon as the tower's management kicked out all of its residents. She ended up joining the evictees to form what would become the protest community around the tower. During the Peninsula war, she fought under O'Ryan's forces, and was a part of Steve's personal unit. She mostly got by with a knife and some makeshift poisons, and used whatever tricks she could to gain the upper hand against RUC troops, due to her distinct lack of real combat experience.
8. Samuel: A citizen from the Princedom. [etcetc]. After the war, he would move back to the Princedom, the events of the war having been his breaking point.
9. Fastrin(?): no info and new name yet to be determined
10. Audrey: No info yet
11. Gladius: No info yet
12. Taffer: A quiet yet well-spoken man from the country of [?]. He has an avid interest in reading and the arcane arts. [etcetc] Unfortunately for him, he happened to arrive not long after the tower's management began kicking out its residents, leaving him to get by with the protest community instead. Rather than leaving as soon as it became clear he wasn't getting in the tower, he formed an odd friendship with the rest of the community, and decided to stick around.
13. Dali\*: A satorin from [PT], he came all the way to Justice Tower after reading some foreign magazines about the place. Unfortunately for him, said magazines were not quite up to date on the situation at Justice Tower, and he arrived to a bunch of run-down shacks littering the outskirts of the tower. He was refused entry into the tower, and found himself "stuck" with the protest community, though he ended up choosing to stay regardless. He was noted to be skilled with ironworking and computers.
14. Lamm\*: One of the longtime residents of the tower before the evictions. During her time at the tower she worked at a dog-washing store. Noted to be somewhat deadpan and snide, oftentimes says things to mess with people, and it's almost impossible to tell whether she's being serious or not. She's also a skilled practitioner of magic, enough so that she is able to channel her energy to alter "physics," rather than elements. Her skill also extends to Mysticism, being well-versed in the art of symbology and the kind of magic that can be channeled using it. Also she sells rare defunct game consoles.
15. Red: One of three genetically modified worker bears, Red is a bear that sports red fur, as can be inferred by his name. As one of the worker bears, he was tasked with trains, trucks, and railroad operations. One of his assignments was to work on the underground railways in the Peninsula, and the station just so happened to be near Justice Tower. He became quite a fascinating sight for the then-residents of the tower, who would often come out to greet him (and also pet his fur).
