O'Ryan

**O'Ryan** is the leader of one of the anti-RUC resistance's largest factions. He used to be a soldier for The Republic's military who was stationed in The Peninsula at the time the RUC began their conquest of the region. After seeing the military's callous disregard for the lives of the people, and their blatant collaboration with RUC forces, he staged a mutiny and formed a resistance force in the western regions of the Peninsula.

## Bio

Someone who prefers to skip the formalities and cut straight to the point, O'Ryan is relatively easygoing and down to earth with his allies. Calm and collected, as one in his position needs to be, he possesses the insight and capabilities needed to assess the situation and lead his forces to victory. He also possesses enough of a moral compass to realize something was wrong when the military did nothing to help the people of the Peninsula, leading to his aforementioned mutiny.

His primary weapon of choice is his rifle, which he carries around his back at all times. He retains his skills from his training during his time in The Republic's military, knowing all the basic ins and outs of combat, which is more than enough to deal with RUC troops.

## History

O'Ryan first enlisted in The Republic's military in x/xx/xx, but was otherwise never deployed to the frontlines of any of wars the country was waging at the time. He was eventually assigned to the forces stationed in The Peninsula under the command of [Chief] in x/xx/xx. When the RUC began their path of conquest throughout the peninsula, O'Ryan was under the impression that the military would soon be deployed to fend them off. When no order ever came, he began to question his superiors about it, who blew him off at every opportunity. He was further aggravated when he saw members of The Republic's military actively collaborating with the RUC to help them conquer territory.

He would then gather his most trusted friends and allies within the military and convince them to mutiny against the military, before gathering volunteers and forming their own resistance force in the western regions of the peninsula.

## Peninsula War

Steve's personal unit has contributed much to O'Ryan's resistance efforts, but details pertaining to their deeds in particular will be written more on Steve's page.

### The Early Campaign

O'Ryan, along with his friends, was able to dispatch their old unit and take out the commanding officer, before seizing the weapons and supplies depot to begin preparing to take action against the RUC.

Their first act against the RUC was a simple defense of a small town from encroaching RUC forces. This is also where they first notice just how poorly disciplined the RUC troops were, though at the time they assumed that these were fresh recruits. Nevertheless, word of their successful defense of the town soon spread, and many began to approach them to volunteer themselves to their cause, or otherwise ask for their protection.

### Encountering some Survivors

The RUC had picked out their next target, yet another small town by the name of [name]. The official in charge of managing the town was a woman named Tori, who has had some dealings with O'Ryan during his resistance efforts and maintained close contact with him. Felix led a company of soldiers (with Garfield accompanying) to the town to slaughter its population. Having caught wind of this, Tori called O'Ryan and informed them about Felix's plans, O'Ryan brought a unit of troops over soon after.

In the meantime, three survivors from the Justice Tower Massacre (Steve, A.B., and Reese specifically) were resting at the town lodges when Felix began his attack. Reports indicated that they had a confrontation with a few RUC soldiers that had broken into the lodge, but the three were able to take them out and make their escape.

O'Ryan, impressed upon hearing Steve's background, assigned him to his own personal unit, with A.B. and Reese under his command. Though some of O'Ryan's troops had reservations about assigning command of a whole unit to a stranger with no prior battlefield experience, O'Ryan seemed to trust him well enough.

### A new base of operations

Soon enough, O'Ryan had assigned Steve's personal unit their first mission: locate the squad that they sent to investigate an abandoned fort. After the unit rescued the squad (which included another Survivor by the name of Taffer), O'Ryan's forces moved in and set up the fort as their new headquarters due to it being in a good location for overseeing and defending against RUC attacks and movements, and for being a large area suitable for housing many resistance troops.

### The Tipping Point

After several missions and preparations being made, O'Ryan's forces had managed to build up to a real force to be reckoned with. It was at this time that Felix thought to lead an all-out attack on non-conquered territories. As opposed to the earlier skirmishes against the RUC, this time would be a real test of the resistance's abilities. O'Ryan and his force, including Steve's unit, moved out to defend against the RUC.

Yet again, O'Ryan was completely baffled by the incompetency displayed by RUC forces. Though to be incompetent was not the same as being harmless, as RUC troops are also known to use unpredictable and completely suicidal tactics in their battles that can easily catch people off guard. Regardless, as long as one keeps their wits about them, they can mitigate any damage that can be caused by an RUC soldier's suicide charge. One of the members of Steve's unit, a Survivor by the name of Reese, demonstrated just how gullible the RUC is by planting a mine in front of them for all to see. RUC troops, believing it was some sort of "demon egg," immediately tried to dig it up and destroy it, getting blown up in the process.

After several days of fighting, the RUC forces were beaten down badly, with Felix and Jafar being forced to retreat. Jafar would run all the way to the southerncentral area of the Peninsula, where he would work under Albert for some time.

This massive victory fully cemented O'Ryan's forces as one of the major resistance cells in the Peninsula, with many other smaller resistance cells deciding to join them to bolster their forces. It is also at this point that a path to victory became clear to the denizens of the Peninsula, that it was possible to beat back the RUC's encroachment.

### Evaluation

Out of the three major forces, O'Ryan's is considered to be the most organized and disciplined. Being a former member of The Republic's military, O'Ryan and the few soldiers who followed him in his mutiny have the training and experience to provide to the otherwise green and untrained resistance members. This gives them a major edge over the Radioactive Uber Clan in direct confrontations. Though, they still have trouble figuring out some of the RUC's actions, in a "they have no idea what those idiots will do" kind of way.

...

Curiously enough, when examining RUC battle reports, they make no mention of O'Ryan whatsoever, instead fixating on this "Demonic Overlord" that they claim to be fighting. On the off-chance they do acknowledge his existence, they only mention him as being one of the "Demonic Overlord's" evil minions.
