i. intro
The Young Rogues is a group that was formed in mid-2018 as a direct result of the apocalypse. They were formed by kids and teens that blamed the adults for the blackout, banding together to survive as the world rapidly deteriorated. Twenty years later they still harbor a deep hatred for adults, especially those that were adults when the blackout occurred. They only allow kids into their group, and when someone is determined to have grown up, they are cast out. The Young Rogues are nomadic, traveling in search of new recruits and supplies.
ii. history
The Young Rogues were formed in 2018 as a direct result of the apocalypse, formed by [abbr=NPC, 17]Casey Gray[/abbr], [abbr=NPC, 16]Will Moore[/abbr], [abbr=NPC, 14]Dana Davis[/abbr], [abbr=NPC, 17]Shirley Thomas[/abbr] and [abbr=NPC, 8]Miles Thomas[/abbr]. Casey was made leader, and for the two years he reigned the group gathered a few more people but stayed relatively small. Not long before Casey was overthrown, he kicked Will out, citing that he had become an adult, though his real reasons stemmed from his belief that Will was planning a coup; however it was his outlawing of those that grew up that led to his downfall, and it was actually Dana that led the "revolution" and became the next leader. She reigned for two years, just as Casey had, before being exiled alongside Shirley for growing up. The leadership position was split by two brothers, [abbr=NPC, 15]Jack[/abbr] and [abbr=NPC, 15]Greg Hanes[/abbr], who together remained in power for four years. The group is split into two, not being able to decide who the next leader should be, [abbr=NPC, 14]Tammy Brightheart[/abbr] or Miles Thomas, who was the senior-most member at the time and whose supporters were mostly teens. Tammy, however, was liked by the younger members, who thought that it would be better to put someone in power that was younger, so they weren't changing leaders every couple years. In the end, Miles took power, keeping it for what was becoming the usual two years before Tammy took over, also leading for two years before stepping down willingly and passing leadership off to [abbr=NPC, 16]Kyle Winthrop[/abbr]. Kyle's reign was brief but important. In the time he had, he created the title system, as the group up until then had only two ranks, leader and regular member. He barely led for six months before succumbing to an illness they were unequipped to treat, rekindling the Rogues' hatred for adults. It was Kyle's girlfriend, [abbr=NPC, 16]Allison Barrow[/abbr], that stepped up next, and she brought the group into a much more violent era, slaughtering those that had been grown up during the time of the blackout and kidnapping their kids and forcing them to join their ranks. The Young Rogues more than doubled their numbers under Allison, but she was shot in self defense by an adult a year and a half into her leadership. By now it is the unofficial tradition for leaders to be chosen when they're sixteen and rule for two years, and [abbr=NPC, 16]Timothy Lively[/abbr] is no exception. His reign is as bloody or more than Allison's, as he had been her right hand and had been instrumental in the exile of several senior Rogues. The Rogues regarded him as a tyrant, and he was actually executed by the new leader, [abbr=NPC, 16]Eva Laine[/abbr]. Killing him was the most notable thing she did during her leadership, as she really just maintained what had been created by those before her and actually stepped down on her eighteenth birthday, giving leadership to [abbr=Played by Pyre, 16]Angie Farren[/abbr], who reigns to this day.

iii. territory
As of now, the Young Rogues have made their camp in an abandoned suburb, with houses being given to individuals or groups of friends. In the surrounding area there are various stores and restaurants and other businesses that have been largely but not entirely looted. They will stay until they get low on food, and then they will move on. Interior one & two & three. Road leading from the suburbs to the commercial district.
iv. ranks
Leader: This is the only rank that holds real power in the group, they decide where the group goes, what they do, and so on. They get ultimate power over the group's fate, but the group gets ultimate power over them in return. Typically they are chosen when they're sixteen by the Rogues and reign for about two years, though this is unofficial and there have been exceptions to this in the past. If a leader steps down willingly, they get some say in who replaces them, however if the group overthrows them, they get no say.
Angie Farren, roleplayed by Bryne
Rogues: The body of the group, together they do most of the work and scavenging. They enjoy a great deal of freedom so long as they don't break any rules. They collectively determine who the next leader is and when the current leader is no longer fit for the position.

v. titles
As the group only has two proper ranks, titles were implemented to give recognition to those that had earned it. Some titles grant the recipients with a certain amount of authority and/or responsibility.
[abbr=Anige Farren, Peter Nyles, Gene Rickley, Samantha Jensen, Russel]Fighter:[/abbr] Given to those that have proven to be strong, quick and overall good fighters.
 Can lead raids with permission from the Leader
[abbr=Samantha Jensen]Lover:[/abbr] Given to those that have done great good for the community and are generally very pleasant to be around.
 In charge of welcoming new recruits and keeping the community a pleasant place
Healer: Given to those that know about herbs and medicine.
 Expected to heal wounded and sick Rogues and have authority to do so
[abbr=Wesley Addams, Sarah Laine]Finder:[/abbr] Given to those who prove to be excellent scavengers and are good at finding supplies.
 Can lead expeditions for supplies
vi. rules
 Until a time when the Rogues determine the leader is unfit, the leader must be obeyed.
 The Young Rogues operate somewhat democratically, the majority choosing who the next leader will be and when their reign is over.
 All Rogues can only remain with the group until they grow up (in age or maturity) or do things considered too "adult" (such as drinking, doing drugs, having sex, etc). Once they are determined to have grown up, they are to be exiled.
 Stealing is technically against the rules, but it is a rampant problem that has existed since the group's inception.
 Fully initiated Rogues are given a great deal of freedom, including to come and go as they please, however new recruits are kept close until their loyalty is assured.
 Any kid or teen wishing to join that does not pose a threat must be accepted.
 Adults are barred from joining.
 Unofficially, leaders are to be chosen at sixteen and allowed to reign for two years.
 Unofficially, everyone that was an adult before and during the blackout are enemies that should be killed.
 More will likely be added later.
vii. politics
The Young Rogues tend to stay away from other groups and consider all to be fair game for supply raids and recruitment.
viii. faq
Q: "How can I join the Young Rogues?"
 A: They can either find the Rogues and ask to join, or can have been picked up, either out in the wild or in a raid. If you've got another idea, that'll probably be fine too.
Q: "Can my character join even if they're eighteen?"
 A: Possibly! This kind of thing will be on a case-by-case basis, as eighteen is usually around when Rogues start getting exiled, but it is possible. If they're much older, it is highly unlikely.
Q: "Can I adopt one of the characters mentioned in the history? (ex: Eva Laine)"
 A: Yeah, so long as the character is still alive and unadopted, though if you go inactive I do reserve the right to rehome them. Shoot Bryne a PM if you're interested.
Q: "Can my character be a former Rogue?"
 A: Aww heck yeah they can! There will be a thread for this sort of thing soon.
Q: "Can my character be an HP/otherwise important?"
 A: Every character in the Rogues is important, but you can only gain an HP position or title by earning it.
Q: "My question isn't up here!"
 A: Then PM Bryne or ask down below, you'll get an answer asap!
