**Resurgent** is a recently formed terrorist group within New York City headed by Evelynn Boucher. Its sole goal is the total destruction of the New York state government, which they seek to achieve my causing mass chaos within NYC. The group recently broke out of Blackfield Supermax Containment Facility and has been terrorizing the city.

## Overview

**The Resurgent** are a group of ex-convicts turned terrorists who each have their own gripe with the New York State government. They are incredibly recently formed, with only a few months of activity behind them. In that time they have already brought a sense of terror over the entire city, wreaking violence and havoc amidst the people of NYC.

Resurgent was formed in 2060 by Evelynn Boucher. After letting her anger towards Roland Masseau ferment for months after being defeated and crippled by him. She amassed a group of goons over the course of a month, gaining their trust and plotting with them. Their anger towards the state that had imprisoned them brought them all together in a sort of loose angry coalition.

In prison Evelynn discovered she had latent S-Genes, granting her potent psychic abilities. She trained these for months before forming Resurgent. Due to their lack of knowledge of her powers, and her paralysis, the guards paid little attention to Evelynn which allowed her to gain the upper hand and free several allies.

With the help of Meld, Evelynn was able to tear down massive chunks of prison wall, freeing a large number of the population within the prison and unleashing them upon the city. Almost all of these criminals agreed to work with Evelynn in Resurgent, though some stayed independent.

Over the past few months Resurgent has been tearing up NYC, stealing, killing, and sowing general dissent amongst the populace. They have made their goals known, and this has forged them into beacons of violence for those anarchists within the city. A small following has been amassed for them, people who trust the honesty of their violent goals (or just those that hate the government as well).

Resurgent is just as great of if not a greater threat to NYC than the Four Kings who previously destabilized the city and state. They have become the talk of the town, numerous speeches from those currently running for Senator of New York state center around their plans to deal with Resurgent. This election combined with the presence of Resurgent has left the state at a perfect boiling point for either great heroism, or terrible villainy.
