If the game of mafia was a story, this game would be its sequel.
(After the mafia had annihilated all the innocent)
(After the mafia had annihilated all the innocent)
In this game, everyone is evil...
Everyone is part of a faction...
But not everyone is in the same faction...
And everyone is unaware of who are in their faction.
After a long and horrifying civil war, the evil parties won, but did they?
With no one else left to terrorize, it was inevitable that they'd turn their attention to other evil factions.
Their objective?
Eliminate all other factions by uncovering enemy members and safeguarding their own.

These cunning tricksters navigate the cyberpunk landscape with an irreverent flair, blending high-tech stealth and gadgetry with a sharp, satirical edge. Cloaked in sleek, mutable outfits that reflect their elusive nature, they operate from the shadows, spreading chaos and laughter in equal measure. Their iconic high-tech goggles and evil grins are the last things their targets see before becoming the butt of another irrefutable and sometimes deadly prank. In the world of subterfuge and technological trickery, the Ironclad Shitposters are the unchallenged jesters and masterminds.

These skilled disruptors embrace cunning and unpredictability, using their advanced hacking tools and EMP devices to undermine and destabilize. Shrouded in stealthy fabrics interwoven with holographic accents, they’re masters of remaining undetected. With enigmatic smiles and a twinkle of deviltry in their eyes, the Etherium Trolls live to upend order and revel in the ensuing commotion.

Gearsmyth Coalition
In the shadows of the industrial revolution, a sinister force is quietly manipulating the gears of progress. The Gearsmyth Coalition is a cabal of masterminds who use their beastly creations to further their own twisted agenda. They're like a bunch of mad inventors who see the world as a mere playground for their twisted experiments.
With their gear-laden attire and arsenal of dark gadgets, they're always scheming up new ways to disrupt the status quo and further their own power. They're the puppet masters, pulling the strings from behind the scenes as they weave a web of deceit and manipulation. Their creations are like ticking time bombs, waiting to unleash chaos and destruction upon the world. Their true motives are shrouded in mystery, but one thing is certain: the Gearsmyth Coalition will stop at nothing to achieve their sinister goals. They're the dark maestros of the game, orchestrating a symphony of doom and despair. And if you're not careful, you might just become their next victim.

Chicken Chasers
Deep in the heart of nowhere, there's a crew of psychos who call themselves the Chicken Chasers. They're the rural equivalent of a bunch of teenage mean girls, but instead of bullying each other, they take great pleasure in harassing and terrorizing the good people (chickens) of the countryside. These guys are like a bunch of clowns, armed with hammers, sticks, and a never-ending supply of bad ideas. They roam the fields and farms, looking for their next victim to torment and intimidate. And when they find one, they'll do everything in their power to make their lives a living hell. It's like they're fueled by a weird combination of rural internet memes and a deep-seated desire to be the center of attention. And when things get out of hand, they'll just shrug it off and say "oops, sorry not sorry". The Chicken Chasers are the rural equivalent of a toxic relationship - they're hard to get rid of, and they'll only stop when they've worn you down completely.

Steelimbs Babes
In the grimy, high-stakes world of grift and mayhem, the Steelimbs Babes are the ones to watch. These femme fatales have upgraded their bodies with high-grade steel limbs, cutting-edge cyberware that gives them an edge in the game. Their flesh-and-blood days are long gone, replaced by cold, calculated precision. They're decked out in fire-grilled threads that cling to their new metal curves, and they know just how to work the angle to get what they want.
Their cybernetic enhancements make them almost invulnerable, with steel limbs that can withstand even the most brutal of take-downs. They're like cyborg queens, reigning supreme in the undercity's shadows. When they take on a mark, it's like they're unleashing a fusion of deadly efficiency and razor-sharp charm. These steel-women are the real deal, Guillo - the very embodiment of cunning and beauty in a world where both are currencies to be spent. Beneath the façade of high-fashion wannabe gazes and bottle-service palms, the Steelimbs Babes are stone-cold pros with the skills to back it up. They're the masterminds behind the scenes, pulling the strings and running the show in a world where only the strongest survive. And with their steel limbs, they're not just strong - they're unstoppable.

Dei Milites
In a world gone to hell, the Dei Milites are the self-appointed avengers of the righteous. This extremist sect is a bunch of über-fundamentalists who've taken their faith to the extreme, and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty. They're trained in the art of combat, and they're just itching to take on the forces of darkness - whatever that means to them. These guys are like a cross between a militia and a cult, with a dash of fascist flavor thrown in for good measure. They're convinced that they're the only ones who truly understand the will of God, and that everyone else is just a heretic waiting to be put down. They're fueled by a toxic mix of hatred, intolerance, and a bad case of groupthink. When they take to the streets, the Dei Milites are a force to be reckoned with. They're armed to the teeth, and they're not afraid to use violence to get what they want. They're like a bunch of religious vigilantes, convinced that they're on a mission from God to cleanse the world of sinners and unbelievers. And if you're caught in their crosshairs, you're just a statistic waiting to happen. Dei Milites, making religion great again!

Deck Builders
In the world of competitive strategy and construction geekery, the Deck Builders are the ultimate high achievers. These guys are like the ultimate combination of LEGO enthusiasts, war game aficionados, and military planners. They're the kind of people who spend hours designing the perfect battle plan, tweaking the details until it's just right. They're the ones who show up to the battlefield with a arsenal of gadgets and gizmos, all carefully selected to give them an edge. Furthermore, they're like the ultimate DIY warriors, cobbling together a solution from whatever scraps they can find. And when the stakes are high, they're the ones who can turn the tide of battle with a single well-placed move. These guys are like the ultimate tacticians, always thinking several steps ahead. They're the ones who can craft a battlefield that's tailored to their strengths, using every trick in the book to outmaneuver their opponents. And when the dust settles, they're the ones who'll be smiling, because they've got the perfect strategy to take home the win.
