Epocylipse - More Factions

Two more factions for Epocylipse have been made public recently; Texas Star and Freedom Fighters.

Texas Star

Lost? Confused? Out of place, and without order? Do you have virtue, strength, a solid gut instinct, and a desire to defend all that you’ve worked for? Oh, we have time for you. Time, I might add, that you’re running well out of.

Life is short. If you ask a Teller, they might be polite enough to phrase it; ‘life is shorter’. Idiots. You don’t have the time to think about where you belong. Now, you can spend all your precious moments–those handful of years you might survive the storms, toxins, and critters–out there wandering like a fool. Or you can join us and be worth each damn breath you draw.

The Star won’t judge you for what you can’t accomplish. But we’ll surely weigh in on what you can. You can be useful. Get out there, put hands on something real, something solid. You can carve your name in the abandoned places, marking new territory for a family who values you. You can bring to us the weapons we’ll need to gun down those who might try to steal from you your hard earned resources.

Freedom Fighters

Grandfather used to say with this look on his face like the sun was in his eyes, “Law, liberty, and freedom are the things a man fights for but never earns.” He was full of sayings like that. As far as we know, he might have seen what it was like before. But that’s the thing; it’s just as far as we know. He’s dirt now. Where the land used to be black, and split up, and rocky without rock. He went out in a storm when the sky was red and there was fire on the ground. We left the body. We always leave the bodies if they get too far from the wall. The plants grow up through the cracks when it gets cooler. Cartel says they can fix it. S’not the point.

Point is grandfather used to say strange things that make me think it hasn’t always been like this. I don’t know what liberty means, but I know that freedom and law are what the settlement believes in. It’s what we go on. The elders who aren’t so afraid to work by or outside the wall anymore are hard on the word order, too. “It’s what makes right, right.”

They say that just before the asteroid hit, people knew what was right. After, maybe not so many do. Mother says that Grandfather–Pa Edwin, as she’ll call him, was meant to survive the Fall so that he could keep fighting for law, liberty, and freedom in whatever state the world went to when things calmed down.

Thanks Eye.
