Vigil

Overview

Year Founded: 2019

Status: Active

Nestled in the quiet little Western town of Bor, Vigil is a close knit group of survivors that have bonded through hardship, friendship, mirth, and misfortunes. The glue that holds them together is their wish to help others. Despite the harshness of the world since the Day Zero outbreak, they believe there is hope to be found in every act of kindness, love, and charity. To facilitate this, they have built the Sanctuary, which is a community camp in Bor, meant for people to gather, share food, and talk. The Vigil always put themselves above everything else, but they never shied from helping survivors. They actively protect it from those who cannot respect its rules, and any other aggressors. Outside of Bor, they do what they need to do to survive and look out for one another. Once they come back to the Sanctuary, they tend to leave politics and other happenings in the land outside and try to relax with some good conversation.

Alignment

Due to their commitment to help others, while still being on alert for aggressors, Vigil is falls under Chaotic Good with their alignment archetype. They will mostly have friendly engagements, but will be on high alert when meeting survivors with their weapons out. They will try to observe a potential threat from afar, but if that's not possible, the threat will be neutralized to protect from any potential danger. They originally were pure Neutral, but the times have changed, resulting in more chaos for the members.

Appearance

The members of Vigil usually dress in civilian style clothing, but with purple touches (such as sneakers, shemaghs, etc.) Each member of Vigil is unique and this is shown through their personal choice of clothes, but members always wear light purple armbands that have an eye on it (although they did wear yellow armbands during their beginning days.) They will often wear ballistic protection due to the unpredictability that exists outside the Sanctuary gates.

Origins

Map of Vigil's territory

Territory

• Bor and the surrounding areas

Located in the central southwest, Vigil lays claim to the town of Bor and the surrounding areas.

• The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary is a community camp built by Vigil for survivors to gather to share food, supplies, and have conversation. It is located slightly north of the town of Bor. Occasionally, Vigil holds special events and parties at the camp.

Goals

Although a very tight knit group of survivors that put looking out for each other above all else, Vigil is grounded on helping survivors escape the perils of the land and provide a comforting space to regroup and socialize. They will always protect their own and will do everything they can to ensure safety to their visitors, for few moments or a few hours, it does not matter. If aggressors enter the area, the members of Vigil will not hesitate to attack in order to provide stability and safety to their territory.

Values

Vigil is invested in protecting themselves, their home, and their visitors. The following values represent the members of Vigil:

• EMPATHY: Vigil prides itself on friendly interactions, so they value their visitors lives and believe that reaching out to them, even after their stay, is essential.
• GENEROSITY: Since helping others is the core belief of the group, kindness and charity are at the forefront of Vigil's interactions. Many of their members came to join the group because of the good-will that was shown towards them and they believe in paying this mentality forward.
• RESPECT: Vigil treats its members and visitors with utmost respect, and they like that mentality to be reciprocated. They are slow to anger because of their dedication to good-will, but they will not hesitate to react with fierce anger if their members, visitors, or area are provoked.
• PATIENCE: Running a community camp can be stressful at times, but the members of Vigil practice patience because they come across both older and newer survivors of the land. When put to the test, patience is critical to the members.
• PROTECTION: Vigil strives to maintain a helpful presence in the area, and with that comes the responsibility of keeping their members and visitors safe. They will do what it takes to keep everyone safe in their area, even if it means dealing with aggressors in a fierce way.
