First Sons Militia

*"There's a reason that you don't hear about the weakest in history. No. You hear about the strong. Charlemagne. Napoleon. Washington. Why? Because they weren't weak. The weak don't survive. Our culture rewarded the weak. But nature only cares about the strong. We are strong. We are the First Sons. And when this is over, we will be the last ones standing."*

*-Security Captain to her followers.*

Formed from the ruins of the JTF in Colorado, and other survivalists and sympathizers, the First Sons Militia is deeply racist, fascist and fanatical movement. Led by the Security Captain, a former army officer turned radical survivalist, the First Sons are determined to seize control of the area around them. They only care about themselves and those that align with them, and have no remorse targeting the innocent. They believe only the strong survive, and they are determined to prove they are the strongest of all.

## Origins

When the Dollar Flu Outbreak began, Denver was one of the hardest hit cities, being listed as number four of the top five most infected cities in the US, (behind San Diego but ahead of Miami). The JTF, on orders from then-president Waller, were sent to try and secure the area. Unlike DC and Manhattan, Denver didn't see the rise of many factions, mostly just local gangs looting or taking advantage of the violence.

However, it quickly became too much for the JTF to handle, as being so far away from DC, which itself was becoming a warzone, they couldn't receive the aid they needed. This is where the Security Captain, a mysterious as of unnamed female figure, decided to take matters into her own hands. She rallied members of the Denver JTF, along with gun collectors, militia, survivalists, and anyone else who would follow her, and stormed the Denver JTF.

The attack, swift and unrelenting, destroyed the JTF leadership in Denver, with all their supplies being looted and their medical research destroyed. With no hope left, any Denver JTF who didn't join the mutineers were either killed or fled to survive on their own or with other groups.

The Security Captain led them outside Denver to a wooded area where they built their fortress, which they named Plymouth Rock. The Security Captain dubbed the mutineers as the First Sons of Liberty Militia, often just shortened to the First Sons.

## Ideology

*"It's a fact of history. Throughout mankind's existence, when other races have met, it only ends in bloodshed. Maybe you can achieve a tenuous peace, but it can't and won't last. It's not a popular opinion, but it is a correct one. We're not racist. We're smart."*

-Lieutenant Andrea Calvo. Member of the First Sons.

The First Sons are a deeply racist movement, sharing many of the beliefs associated with white supremacy. However, Jeff, a former First Sons member, hinted that not all members of the First Sons believe this, especially those who weren't racist to begin with, and are simply playing along out of fear of being killed or cast out from the group.

Despite their racist beliefs, the First Sons have a code of working together with other races on occasion, as long as there is a mutual benefit for both parties. A First Sons lieutenant, Andrea Calvo, when held hostage by Project Vanguard members Evan, Emily and Jackson, claimed that the First Sons aren't racist, but simply careful, as in their opinion, different races aren't meant to mix, as it only leads to bloodshed.

However, the First Sons have no concern spilling blood themselves. They frequently raid settlements and/or force them to pay tribute to them. They consider any and all people under this control, willing or by force, to be a member of the First Sons, and as such, they impose a strict set of rules on them. The First Sons will often get sick pleasure out of publicly executing groups of people in front of their friends and family for even the smallest and most insignificant infraction.

The First Sons seek nothing short of complete and utter control of the lands they inhabit. They actively hunt down anyone or any group that opposes them, and resistance is met with brutal punishment. The Security Captain has even implemented a three generations rule, not too dissimilar to that of North Korea's, where when one family member is punished, their parents and any offspring they have, if they're alive, will be punished as well.
