SETTING
Option 1
June, 2032
North End Boston, Massachusets
Federal Disaster Response Agency Urban Quarantine Zone "JULIET"
"The Last Bastion"
By 2032, 19 years after the Cordyceps Brain Infection decimated society as it was known, Boston's quarantine zone was one of the last in existence. After seizing control of the military and declaring martial law, the Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA, for short) constructed these QZ's as places to defend, keeping the infected out. The administrations of these cities would need to adopt whatever strategies they could to keep the people in line, and safe. But not everyone's fond of saving one another.
In this cutthroat, close-knit urban setting, people turn ferocious. Some rebel against the tyrannical government. Most prominent are the Fireflies, founded in the 2010s in response to martial law - the 'movement' originating in Los Angeles. By 2032, the Firefly-FEDRA conflict is almost at its peak. Gunfights, ambushes, and other terrorist attacks are almost commonplace. Plenty of innocents are caught in the crossfire.
Rations are starting to get more meager. The Military controls all of the QZ's electricity, hoarding most of it. People are desperate - the vast network of black markets and smugglers keeping the people afloat in the lower ghettos.
FACTIONS:
FEDRA and Attachments
"This is control-- this is necessary."
- Colonel Andrew Reid, commanding officer of the Boston Quarantine Zone.
The Federal Disaster Response Agency. One of the last remnants of the US government, they control the military force, the resources, and the QZ's. Most soldiers are bitter conscripts, keeping the people in check with abuse and intimidation. With the constant issue of people sneaking out and coming back in, they also have to worry about culling any infected within the society. Remnants of the Center of Disease Control operate alongside ground forces within the city, executing any infected citizens with lethal injection, and keeping the soldiers healthy. They will do anything to maintain control.
Fireflies
"When you're lost in the darkness-- look for the light. Believe in the Fireflies."
- Firefly motto
The Fireflies have been around for over two decades at this point. Word of freedom and hope travels faster than any, giving the Fireflies a hefty boost of support by a majority of QZ occupants across America. In Boston, the Good Fight is still young, but not ignorable. Supplies are low, but support is strong. Assistance from the indifferent smuggler societies is tantamount to their success.
Survivors
Occupants of the Boston Quarantine Zone. Desperate people. A network of smugglers underly the city.
The Infected
They can hear you.

Option 2
May, 2029
Seattle, Washington
"The Drowning City"
The Washington Liberation Front (commonly shortened to the WLF) faced much pushback from Seattle's QZ. The Military administrating the Zone had been near-criminal with their severe rationing, expulsion, and murders. By 2024, FEDRA lost control of the Zone, leaving it for the WLF to take. Five years later- a new enemy has arisen. The Seraphites - a cult-like band of tribals formed in the early 2020s by a prophet expressing her philosophies on Humanity's current predicament.
By this point, most of Seattle's been abandoned as this bloody conflict continues on, both factions struggling to keep grips on their land.
FACTIONS:
WLF
"May your survival be long. May your death be swift."
- WLF motto
Former freedom movement-turned-militaristic faction vying for control of Seattle.
Seraphites
"May she guide me through the storm."
- Seraphite prayer
Opponents of the WLF, who call them "scars". Cult-tribe that uses primitive technology along with some modern items. They originate from an off-coast island. Expeditions and outposts are all you'll find in the city.
Refugees
Unlucky bastards caught in the crossfire.
The Infected
They're no different here.
