Nate & Lucas Briggs - the leaders of Camp Winterbrook.

Survivors, infected, and everything in between. The people & creatures of the Strays universe.

The Mutt Virus, infection stages and other dangers - a breakdown.

The year is 2032.The zombie apocalypse started ten years ago in Alaska when an experimental new drug rapidly mutated the canine test subjects, who subsequently broke out of the lab and began to infect humans with what became known as the “Mutt Virus”.

The pandemic rapidly spread, leaving society in ruins. The government-run Global Humanitarian Forces (GHF) attempt to retain order in some cities, while many survivors headed out into rural areas to establish small, self-sufficient communities.

The infected are a constant threat; intelligent but controlled by feral impulses to feed, they are incredibly dangerous, though they cannot move in daylight.Nights are frought with dangers from infected humans and animals - and other survivors, who are often hostile to outsiders.

in general

Sierra Team is a small team of former Russian soldiers that were originally sent to the United States to help with maintaining order, but were abandoned by the Russian government.They have since become a nuisance to everyone, raiding GHF camps out of anger against them for being the remnants of the US Government, attacking camp Winterbrook because they're bitter about the Americans and the virus, and raiding Guardian Angel camps because they just dont like them.

Initially sent to The United States during the start of the apocalypse by the Russian government in order to help the crumbling US government keep order. It was ultimately useless as the virus still took over the country. When he tried to contact the Russian government to get back home, he was informed that there wouldn't be an extraction, "Its to risky" his commander said "We cant risk spreading the disease." After finding out that they were abandoned by their government, they were suddenly attacked by a swarm of Mutts, which wound up killing his Sergeant, promoting him to squad leader. His squad had spent days searching for a place to stay and fortify, running into hostile GHF patrols which solidified that they are to not be trusted. They eventualy found an army depot up in Montana, and has been holding up there since.

The ARCHON is a large interconnected group of multiple survivalist communities, located in the Midwest. It is hard to calculate the exact combined population, but it has been approximated to be roughly around 3,000 survivors.It is led by someone referred to as the Architect, a person who's identity has remained hidden since the beginning of their rule, which as of today has been 8 years. Since that day, the Architect has enlisted those of which he calls Seers to overlook those thousands of Archonians, as well as go out on 'missions' of either recruitment or resource gathering.The central hub of ARCHON is located in old Kansas City, with 'The Reclamation', a large tower rebuilt around an old skyscraper, being the city's center at Main St. Plaza. The city has since been cleaned out and reinhabited by many a survivor and refugee after the Architect aided in flushing out the Mutts and raiders that hid within its alleys.Due to its abundance of healthy helping hands and many a bright mind, ARCHON is likely the most advanced post-outbreak survivor group in all of America, with their ever increasing production of reliable & cheap firearms, as well as Red Jack's designs for stable air transport, which is often only a privilege for those in groups like the GHF.

When the Mutt virus got loose, he found himself as a survivor in a small, struggling community located in the town of Riverview. For a couple years, Red Jack learned to survive with his group, learning tips as to how to get by. However, the survivor group he was in wouldn't be left unbothered for long and was soon interacted with by an outsider faction.

They offered salvation and support, and the people of Riverview took it.
