NORTHSTAR DISTRICT, a welcoming community that live in a rural city
Northstar District is the trading center best known throughout the nearest civilizations. They provide supplies through trading to a majority of the civilizations within a thirty-mile radius. When the lights first went out, the military veterans and those prepared to take on the hardships of a blackout pandemic made their way to the Costco and banded together to create a safe haven camp for the nonaggressive to take shelter. Because they claimed and defended this Costco, they started off with an arsenal and plenty of food, but they couldn't defend it for long.
After learning the hard way when a group of bandits raided them, they began fortifying their Costco, and called it Northstar District, becoming one of the most well-protected homesteads. They still have issues with bandit groups and being targeted by other big civilizations because their supplies are so impressive, things that other loners and groups could only dream of. Despite this reason for distrust, they welcome travelers and allies with open arms for trading and protection, and will even trade with an enemy member. Northstar District may be a pacifist group with peaceful wishes of surviving, but they're on guard. They aren't stupid.
[b]TERRITORY: Northstar District's members can't sleep in the Costco comfortably, and have moved into the apartment complex that is just next to the Costco, on the same block. Surrounding the two larger buildings are other downtown shops with smaller apartments above-raided pawn shops and bars. The streets that they are on are a mess, but movement between the Costco and the apartment building to its left is easy.
With plenty of rooms to chose from, the brick apartment building has plenty of ways up, though the elevator no longer works, so stairs are a must. One can take the fire escape outside up, or go through the front doors and up the steps there. Many rooms are raided, but good mattresses and bathrooms are still there, though the plumbing doesn't work. Northstar District's members are encouraged to sleep wherever they please, even the High positions, though some Overseers and Subordinates chose to take better rooms than the others.
As a largely stocked store, they are extremely well supplied, and the inside of the entire building is covered in shelving that is used to keep things organized. The outside of the Costco is well fortified over years of adding defenses to the outside of it to protect it from raids. The only entrance to the entire place is the metal hanger door that the Costco used to get shipments from. It exits out into an alley road that separates the Costco from an old driving facility.
The remainder of the territory is a very rural city, without super tall buildings, and crowded streets of cars. Cars are still left all over the streets, however, they are mostly clear to be traversed. But, because Northstar District is near the edge of the town, they have the ability to exit into the forest to hunt and search for herbs. They have also put up barricades on the edges of town to deter trespassing and to label off their borders for joiners.
There are a lot of unexplored buildings and stores in the town, and the barriers always have room for improvement. Almost all of the rooftops are empty, and could be used for gardens and the like should that be necessary. Other than that, Northstar District is generally open to the world, and willing to take people in from all sides.
LAWCODE:
- All newcomers must have their weapons confiscated before they enter Northstar District. If they refuse, assure them that they will be given back once they exit the city to defend themselves.
- Children are not allowed outside the warehouse without an adult or someone over the age of 16. NPCs count for this.
- The Overseer must choose a Subordinate one month after their own ascension to power, at most. They are permitted to change their choice if they see fit.
- The Overseer appoints all Master Position (Master of Arms, Master of Stocks, Doctor). The individuals may choose to decline this promotion.
- Violence is prohibited within Northstar District, as well as hate speech and theft.
- Punishment for violence and hate speech can range from house arrest to exile. Sometimes temporary exile, and sometimes permanent. Theft is punished with community service and restricted access to stocks.
- The Overseer may not use execution as a method of punishment, and can only be used if the option of exile endangers the other groups by setting free a dangerous person. This must be decided by the majority.
- Unless recognized from a previous infraction of violence laws, such as an exile, Northstar District cannot turn someone away from a bed and food.
- Those who are guilty of violence, but not murder or rape, will still be provided with provisions if they request it. They will not be provided with weapons and are not permitted into the warehouse.
- Those proven guilty of murder or rape are to be completely restricted from access to Northstar District. A Badlands member is allowed in unless they are specifically known to have killed or sexually assaulted another.

HIERARCHY:
OVERSEER, is the leader. They can make changes to the rules if they feel it’s necessary, but their main task is to direct the workings of the group and choose members who are worthy of gaining new ranks. When this person steps down or dies, they are succeeded by their Subordinate, which they choose.
- Demyan "Wolfbite" Volkov, played by demesne
SUBORDINATE, is a deputy equivalent. They are chosen by the Overseer to step up as Overseer once the current one dies or steps down. They are able to host meetings, direct workings, and boost members to a higher rank with the Overseer's permission.
- Currently undecided.
MASTER OF ARMS, is in charge of organizing the arsenal and making sure all weapons are accounted for. They should also keep a strong eye on the defenses, and are in charge of directing the Defense Managers into doing their jobs.
- Currently undecided.
MASTER OF STOCKS, is important, as they keep track of supply usage, and they make deals with traders. They are in charge of the Trader Managers, who are apart of the group as well. They are expected to be extremely organized and professional.
- Currently undecided.
DOCTOR, an important role to the entire group. The Doctor is the head medic of Northstar District. They need to manage their Nurses and oversee healing of the group. They are in charge of managing their medical storage and regulating the trade of medicine that exports Northstar District.
- Currently undecided.
ASSISTANTS, are a sort of stepping stone to the ranks. Only a semi-high position, but an extremely important one, they deal with anyone who wishes to join by keeping an eye on them, making sure they get what they need, and taking care of complaints.
- Currently undecided.
THE CREW
The crew are not high positions, and they can be played by anyone. They often choose to specialize in being a Soldier, a Trader, or a Medic.
People who find their skills at being a Soldier are those who keep trespassers out, defend, and specialize in fighting. They can climb up to Master of Arms.
People who find their skills at being a Trader work to trade with other groups and hunt and stock the clan. They can climb up to Master of Stocks.
People who find their skills at being a Medic are those who have talent with healing and gathering medical herbs to trade and use. They can climb up to being a Doctor.
TRAINEES
Trainees are not age based, and anyone can drop down to be one if they feel like they could use some training. Trainees go through basic training to figure out what they want to specialize in, and to learn how to fight and hunt. It's the basic stuff.
TITLES:
TRADE MANAGERS, are equal to the Defense Managers. Those who have not separated off as a Nurse or Defense Manager have become Trade Managers. They help the Master of Stocks and learn directly from them. Trade Managers who focus on trading are extremely busy working with selling, trading, and following orders given to them by the Master of Stocks.
- [i]Advay, played by jesse kamokazi.
DEFENSE MANAGERS, are equal to the Trade Managers. Those who have not separated off as a Nurse or Trade Manager have become Defense Managers. They help the Master of Arms with their duties and learn directly from them. Those focused on defending and fighting are to patrol the warehouse for any dangerous activity, solidify defenses, and follow any orders given to them by the Master of Arms.
- Currently undecided.
NURSES, are a semi-high position. Despite this, they work hard and learn from the Doctor, hand picked from the talented healers of the crew. They collect medical supplies and are supposed to oversee their medic-crew members to ensure no healing is done wrong.
- Currently undecided.
FOREIGN RELATIONSHIPS: As a trading hub, they are a beacon of hope to other groups and individuals who need aid. They open their doors peacefully to those in need and choose to remain pacifists in the face of war. If anyone can be trusted, Northstar District is sure to give them a fair chance, no grudges held or judgment, but they won't take risks on those who seem to be planning on foul play.
