The game Factions / Teams
There will be different factions to play as a part of the game. It is up to the player to decide which faction group they would like to be apart of and we recommend putting together an outfit for the one you like the most, and a plain secondary outfit in case that faction isn't playing at one game, or is full and you will need to be placed onto another team. As it may not be the one you end up being assigned, depending on the needs of the game and how many have already chosen that group. We will try to place everyone where they would like to be. Each factions requirements will be listed below. If you have any questions regarding any of these please contact us. When putting together a kit use this as a reference guide to help create your outfit and items. Team colors will be noted for each group. If possible, either your torso or legs should have this color on it, or both; even if it's only a bandanna. Arm bands will also be provided if required to help mark the players or to even out the teams if people do not show up.

NPCs play a special role in the game. Their purpose is to throw a monkey wrench into the other factions and to help a faction they favor with information or supplies, or an extra body in combat. Some NPCs will at times be given quest items, information to share, or a possible quest for a team to complete. So ask them questions and keep a wary out out for them as well. Any player can sign up to be an NPC and all Admins will act as NPCs as well.
​
Unlike standard LARP games, here NPC is simply a player not tied to, or associated with a team. Basically making them free agents in play to come and go as they wish.
​
1 - Wastelanders - These NPCs are just your simple, random wastelander. Trying to make a life for themselves in the ruins of what is left of the world. Good for someone just starting out with little gear or wants to just play a simple role that can go in-depth with the role-play aspect, or maybe just wants to roam around and be caught up in the middle of everything.
​
Clothing - Civilian
​
Headgear - Any
​
Armor - None, homemade armor, surplus armor
​
Weapons - Rifles, shotguns, pistols, melee (allowed ONLY one ranged weapon as a basic civilian player, unlimited melee)
​
2 - Mutants - These represent former humans, mutated into strong, dumb creatures. Very territorial and mostly violent against anyone who is not a mutant. Though some have been known to be friendly and allies to humans. Some form of makeup or a mask would be needed to play this part. They have no team to side with, more of a harassing role for all sides, unless otherwise noted for that game. If you have an interest in playing this role contact us directly via email or the Facebook page.
​
Clothing - Civilian
​
Headgear - None, homemade helmets, military or police helmets
​
Armor - None, homemade armor
Weapons - Rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, flame throwers, pistols, shotguns, melee
​
3 - Feral Ghouls - Feral Ghouls are also mutated former humans but lack any ability to think anymore. They live simply to hunt and eat; hunt humans that is. Feral Ghouls are unarmed. Great for someone who wants to lurk around, hide in dark places, and scare the hell out of people. At least some makeup or a mask would be needed to play this part. They have no team to side with, more of a harassing role for all sides. If you have an interest in playing this role contact us directly via email or the Facebook page

5 - SHELTER DWELLERS:
Shelter Dwellers are descendants of families that took refuge in underground shelters for protection. Now they venture out for supplies or to explore.
They have no assigned team at the start of play but are free to choose a side to support. They aren't even tied to that faction but can switch at will as long as the other factions are willing to accept them. Though fair warning, if you choose a side it's not likely the other team or teams will trust you to let you switch over to them.

6 - Mercs (Color: Black) - Guns for hire, they only care about who is going to offer them the most goods or caps in exchange for their fighting services. Teams can "buy" Mercs services for a set period of time negotiated between the Mercs and the teams themselves. Unattached to any team they can sell themselves at will to the highest bidder or the likely winner.

Other items to consider for your gear:
​
Gas mask bags, bandoliers, airsoft /paintball body armor (some look like real police or military armor, less expensive and lighter), old sports gear like football shoulder pads and helmets, old boots, old clothing, worn out hats, old Communist military gear, surplus holsters, surplus ammo pouches, shoulder / carrier bags, gas masks (real or fake), license plates (for armor), old bags, etc, etc.... Let your imagination run when creating an outfit. Work to make it look like it would fit the game and have fun creating it.
​
For people whom have never played airsoft but come to us either through LARP or other places and you have an interest in purchasing a gun; we are here to help you. There are good and bad airsoft guns at there that vary in prices and we want to make sure you get the best of what you can afford. So, feel free to contact us and ask. We'll be honest and not push you to buy something since we're not a business trying to sell you anything.
