2020. In the capital city of Vandea of the newly formed country, Neubian Democracy, anarchy is a part of the people's lives. Madmen run through the streets performing sacrifices, brutal enforcers kill every living being they find and corruption has spread to every corner of the city. Enter the struggle for control of Vandea as an important agent of one of the organizations fighting for the domination of the city
Evil Factions
The Destroyer Cult
A cult of heretics that believes in dark gods. Selfish, dark, evil, mad and secretive, this cult will do anything to achieve the power that comes through the domination of Vandea.
Weapons: Pistol and Knife
Hostile to: The Marked of Chaos, the New Order, The Liberators
Friendly to: The Blood Disciples
Purpose: Ultimate sacrifice of the population of Vandea and control of the power that comes as a reward from the gods
Notes:
+ Practitioners of sorcery. Can use powerful spells to turn the tide of battle
+ Lightweight gear allows them to move fast and stealthily
+ Alliance with the blood disciples
+ Pistol can be used as a close combat weapon, but its shots cause less damage (damage: 10)
- Only light armor
- less training than other factions' soldiers
The Marked of Chaos
A powerful paramilitary organization, the marked of Chaos, are dedicated to one thing: Ultimate, Glorious Carnage. They exist to destroy everyone and everything in their path.
Weapons: Light Machine Gun, grenade and brass knuckle
Hostile to: EVERYONE!
Friendly to: none
Purpose: The destruction of Vandea and the death of the leaders of the other factions
Notes:
+ Medium armor allows them to take more punishment
+ Light machinegun gives them supreme firepower and an advantage in firefights. More shots, can suppress enemies but it is less accurate and slow to reload
+ Supreme training gives them professional accuracy and decent hand-to-hand combat skills
+ Equipped with grenades; can destroy certain types of cover, cause massive damage and kill enemies in cover
- Hostile to eveyone
- Bulky; Cannot easily move stealthily and is slow
The Blood Disciples
This organization is sworn to ripping the life from every living thing in Vandea. Bloodthirsty warriors who excel in close combat, the blood Disciples crave the adrenaline and entertainment only battle can offer them.

+ Can move very fast
+ Allied to the Destroyer Cult
+ Can sneak easily
- Absolutely no ranged combat capabilities
Neutral Faction
The New Order
A powerful force who entered the fight for Vandea with the goal to reestablish order and stop the killing spree of the villainous factions terrorizing the people. However, their use of brute force and their total lack of remorse indicates something sinister...
Weapon: Flamethrower, grenade
Hostile to: The Destroyer Cult, The marked of Chaos, the Blood Disciples, The Ascendants
Friendly to: The Liberators
Purpose: To assassinate the leaders of the villainous factions and rebuild Vandea.
Notes:
+ Steel armor allows them to withstand the greatest amount of damage (Armor type: heavy)
+ Flamethrower ignores certain types of low cover and terrorizes enemies
+ Supreme combat training
+ Equipped with grenades
- Bulky
- Flamethrower is a short range weapon
Good Factions
The Liberators
Perhaps the only force that can rival the marked of Chaos in not only strength but also will, the Liberators are sworn to lead the people of Vandea to freedom.
Weapons: Light Machinegun and Knife
Friendly to: The New Order, The Observers
Hostile to: the marked of Chaos, The blood Disciples, the Destroyer Cult, the Ascendants
Purpose: To absolutely liberate Vandea.
Notes:
+ Medium armor
+ Advanced training gives them excellent accuracy and close combat techniques
+ Light Machinegun gives them an edge in firefights. More powerful, more shots, can suppress enemies but it is less accurate and slow to reload
- Bulky; Less stealthy and slow
The Observers
An elite government agency, nicknamed "The Observers" is starting its operations in Vandea. Its agents infiltrate the other factions and keep track of the situation in the city until they have gathered enough intel to summon the military.
Item: Lockpicking set, camera
Friendly to: The liberators
Hostile to: None.
