Overview
Year Founded: 2022
Status: Active
Beginning as a guild for hire, and eventually finding more to life than working for others, The Golden Peppers were content being an amicable and quirky bunch with a shared kindship that largely sought out the good in others. As time, and numerous conflicts, wore on they eventually took refuge in the Pavlovo Military Gas Zone; recoiling from the world and its incessant woes. This, some say, changed them, guiding them towards more isolationist ideals and caustic behavior; even becoming obsessed with the gas. While they may disagree with the rumors surrounding the gas, they will use any means necessary to protect its sanctity and ensure their uninterrupted access to the solace it provides them.
Alignment
The Golden Peppers are closest to Chaotic Neutral in alignment archetype. Often electing to not be directly involved in what they consider the affairs of outsiders, their motivations are, at times, obscured. Caring foremost about their continued access to their home, they seek out what they consider necessary relations of utility. They possess an inherent curiousity of the goings-on beyond Pavlovo, the reasons for which are as nebulous as their home.
Appearance
The Golden Peppers can be identified by wearing a dark gray armband with the yellow Golden Peppers logo. Previously they wore a golden snake armband. The members tend to wear unique outfits, usually dressing in darker colors, with gas masks on their hip. Pay no mind to their coughing, everything is fine.
Origins
The Golden Peppers were founded by Cob and Gabe who met by chance and found a shared optimism despite the apocalyptic conditions. Traversing Chernarus, it became evident that those they came across needed materials, food, all things required to survive. The pair recognized the despair around them and, while helping others obtain what they needed, soon found not only trading but also the availability of certain jobs to be quite lucrative. Establishing themselves in Orlovets, eventually expanding to include Dolina, they quickly began to find like-minded members and the Golden Peppers were born. Though this seemingly well-intended inception would not last forever...
Territory
- Pavlovo
The Golden Peppers claimed the town of Pavlovo initially due to its central location within the southwestern area of Chernarus and proximity to former longtime allies The Renegades. This enabled visitors to relatively easily access the faction, no matter which area of Chernarus they are coming from.
- Farm located NW of Pavlovo
The Golden Peppers resided at the farm located just northwest of the town of Pavlovo for quite some time. This is where they previously conducted business and would host visiting groups at their compound.
- Pavlovo Military Gas Zone
Current and long-standing home to the Golden Peppers; feeling they were driven here by conflict, they embrace what they consider its solace, seeing not the side effects outsiders claim.
Goals
The Golden Peppers did not choose to turn away from the world, they feel it was forced upon them and all will have to reap the repercussions. The gas provides them with a brief solace and they strive to maintain trade networks to facilitate access to it and reward those of whom aide them in its pursuit. They will punish those who disrupt its tranquility.
Values
Autonomy, Vigilance, Reclusion -The will of Outsiders shall not be imposed.
History
I. Eastern Origins
The Golden Peppers were founded by two survivors named Cob and Gabe that were new to the land and had a vision. After traversing the lands of Chernarus, they decided to plant some roots in Eastern Chernarus, specifically in Orlovets and eventually encompassing Dolina as well. Through their experience, they had the grand idea to set up a trading post and be mercenaries for hire. Their ideas of trading and jobs for hire were much different than they are now. Through luck and some good cunning, they recruited a number of members to join their ranks. Eventually though, their way of life caught up to them with Gabe being put into a coma and many members being killed or going missing. Cob and Ross then decided they needed to redefine the vision of the Golden Peppers. After talking with Waxxer of The Renegades, Cob decided it was for the best to change locations to the West and redefine the sort of trading and jobs the Golden Peppers would provide, leaning more toward their inherently good nature. There was also economic opportunity out West, so Cob knew this would be the best step for the group.
II. The Move West
During a time of great hibernation across Chernarus, The Golden Peppers officially moved out West, specifically to the town of Pavlovo. They began to set up their trading operation in the farm complex Northwest of the town of Pavlovo. The group thought this would be an ideal spot to conduct business, right in the heart of the West. The move took a lot of effort and help, but the members knew this venture was going to be worth it.
III. Western Settlement
After cementing a foothold in the West, the Golden Peppers were able to recruit new members, reconnect with those who’d gone missing, and Gabe recovered from his coma, swelling their ranks once more. The vision Cob has for the group still takes shape daily, as people come from all over Chernarus to trade and negotiate with the Golden Peppers. With more members than ever before believing in the same dream Cob has, the Golden Pepper are a staple in the West.
