The Game

**The Game** was a gang war over turf in Downtown Olathe, being the primary focus of the Central Powers. The Game was primarily just rough-housing, with serious injury and death being exceedingly rare.

When Infinity Franchise appeared within Downtown, the Game began to fall apart; members of the participating gangs defecting to the Franchise or abandoning the turf war entirely.

## Central Powers

The **Central Powers** were the group of warlords who ruled the gangs competing in the Game, occasionally holding meetings within the Gambling Hall to discuss the current state of affairs. The Feast was the final meeting of the Central Powers, with its conclusion marking the collapse of the Game.

Members of the Central Powers included:

* John Johnson
* Office Ottoman
* Jessie Mack (defected)
* Silvester de Maistre (defected)
* Tic-Tonic
* Zein Ka
* Fringe Boy
* Shef (gangless)
* Long Leg Lenny (gangless)

## Gangs

### **John Johnson's Gang**

The gang of John Johnson was most known for their luxurious King-brand sportswear uniforms, consisting of flashy golden bandanas and track suits.

Former members include:

* John Johnson (leader, deceased)
* Raun Rawo (potentially deceased)
* Bepe Stormer (potentially deceased)
* Russel Bats (defected, potentially deceased)
* William Double J. Palmer (defected, potentially deceased)
* Two unnamed corpses

### **Office Ottoman's Gang**

Office Ottoman's gang was one of the smallest gangs of the Game, known for their business-attire uniforms and a blue cloth with yellow stripes over their shoulder.

Former members include:

* Office Ottoman (leader, deceased)
* Tuber Valentei (defected)
* Derb Wesley Jr. (defected, potentially deceased)

### **Silvester de Maistre's Gang**

By the time Alex and Joel arrive in Downtown, Silvester has abandoned The Game, with him being mentioned briefly during the roll call of the Feast. Silvester's gang was comprised of residents of the Melting Village, but all members left the village after hearing Jason Pike's tales of the City.

Former members include:

* Silvester de Maistre (leader)
* Boy Trent
* Mathew Harper
* Pete Harper
* Risky Richmond
* Laser Eye Guy (deceased)
* Gin Hanks (deceased)
* Unknown family

### **Tic-Tonic's Gang**

Tic-Tonic's gang - identified by their pink and orange shawls - operated solely on the basis of intimidating other gangs into doing their bidding -- none of the other gangs knew how powerful Tic-Tonic's explosive blast would be, if he had ever detonated.[*Citation needed*]

Former members include:

* Tic-Tonic (leader, deceased)
* Vinny Ramón (defected, deceased)
* Lin Rhodes (defected, deceased)
* Kim Soltoon (potentially deceased)
* Doyle Muscare (defected, potentially deceased)

### **Zein Ka's Gang**

Zein Ka's gang was formerly based in his Outpost outside of Downtown Olathe's Starry Burrow. The uniform consisted of a basic ruddy-brown shawl often decorated with dark teal designs (which, given Zein Ka's snake motif, may be the appearance of an ouroboros).

Former members include:

* Zein Ka (leader, deceased)
* The Kent (defected, potentially deceased)
* Three unnamed corpses in Zein Ka's Outpost

### **Fringe Boy's Gang**

Fringe Boy's gang were known for their prison-striped tank-tops that were occasionally covered by a rich-purple jacket with 'BAD' printed on the back.

Former members include:

* Fringe Boy (former leader, deceased)
* Tibby Dobs (defected, potentially deceased)
* Tingles the Clown (defected, potentially deceased)
* Puer Baker (potentially deceased)

### **Shef**

Shef was an anomaly in the Game -- he lacked a gang. Shef possessed enough strength by himself in order to cover a swath of territory on his own. Eventually, Shef would defect to the Franchise during the Feast, subsequently killing several of his fellow warlords.

### **Long Leg Lenny**

Much like Shef, Long Leg Lenny also lacked a gang, instead acting as an observer of the Game. However, unlike Shef, it wasn't strength that allowed him to participate -- instead, his unparalleled agility granted by his namesake long legs made it feasible for him to invest heavily into The Game, and it would also be these long legs that would carry Lenny out of Downtown during the Feast.
