Chumash (55) is considered the local native Indian Spokesman and he has a semi-burned down house in the center of Eureka. He is a skilled herbalist with extensive knowledge of local and non-local plants.He grew up in north California, but left the Indian reservation,when he saw that his fellow natives reduced themself to a shadow of their former self, with extensive drinking. He travelled for many years (India, Afrika, Australia, Norway, Russia, France, Brazil, Turkey) learning all he could from the local shamans and similar spirituel people. He is a master archer and hunter. He has one of the last functioning stables still operational (63 horses) (He refuses to sell any for materialistic thing,but maybe for a service?)
He is kind of feared by the locals in Eureka,but high command puts it of as superstitions. He is rumored to have cursed a local merchant that delivered bad food to natives.
He also owns a sailboat "SANUYE" (Red cloud at sundown) (Miwok) (40ft) wich he uses as his home. For the moment he struggles to get a seat in Eureka's Council, on behalf of his people wich numbers around 220. For the moment the counsil has declined all his pleas to sit in with them on the grounds that his group is too small to get any special treatment. The counsil situation still angers him since in his eyes this is his peoples land that have been taken and destroyed.
The only one of the newly arrived factions he has had any contact with so far ,is General Pain - this is because in the early days of PACGOV ,GP tried to recruit all the local native tribes of California,it failed but they still have contact with eachother. He seems to have some issues with GP because it reminds him of the forbidden religions of the ancients.

The old ones spoke of the scaled demons that would walk on two like a man and devour the living .Their drawings look alot like a man wearing the heavy infantry armour popular among some of the warlord factions in the 2nd American Civil war.

The white men took the land away from the true people in the early 1800s ,and expelled the indians.But now it seems that the white man is ill with a desease of the mind that makes him burn everything he has and kill all that he see to try and hurt the earth .But he will only make himself disappear and leave room once more for the tribes of the "Klamath" -the North.

Rumour has it that he used to be a top executive in an alternative medicine company before the wars .

He really enjoys speaking what he calls "movie -injun" to people whiter than him self .(He might be of mixed descent.)This is just hearsay though.

Ulysses (62) lives with his family (wife 4 kids) in Randall Street,Eureka. He has recently opened a garage where he repaires car motors. For the moment biznizz is slow due to the lack of spare parts, but he has gotten a deal with the city council that supplies him and his family with food and water for his services. He served in the first Gulf War as a mechanic, so he has seen some action. He usually carries a 9mm handgun.

He is seen as another light in the darkness of what was once a thriving community.

The war(s) has taken it's toll to his mental and physical health though,so he usually can be found with cheap booze on his breath, and some radiation-damage (unknown amaount) after beeing in a holonist refugee/slave camp some kilometers outside Fresno before it was nuked. This has given him a conundrum however...Does he hate the ones nuking Fresno which in retrospect gave him his freedom back...

In his spare time he is either home with his family or drunk at the House of Pain.

Rumors have it that he knows the whereabouts of the hated General Stalingrad of the Holonists, this however is usually regarded as drunk-talk by the other patrons in the local community.

Mohammed (60) is the leader of the Eureka Muslim movement. He serves and directs a flock of aprox. 40 muslims in the Eureka area, he tries to advocate peace and unity but the recent global events has left many muslims to leave their faiths,seeing that global nuclear war is a sign that there is no God. He still have contact with some of them, but contact has been more sporadic in recent months. Mohammed and his group has had hard times and they are for the moment living on a minimum of food and water.

He is usually followed by atleast a couple of his followers. Recent times has shown him to be a reserved leader who uses many hours each day to pray to Alah.It seems he is waiting for a miracle?

He and all his followers live in squalid conditions in downtown Eureka.

Elroy Dorset (40) and his gang of bikers(120) are the last "uncontrolled" gang in the Eureka vicinity. Rumors have it that they have a HQ outside town somewhere in the nearby Redwood hills. The fend for themselves but sometimes do discret jobs for the counsil since the Counsil do not wan't to dirty their hands. They usually do transport missions into areas of anarchy. Before the war the Sons of Anarchy was basically at war with every other MC gang in California,but now that control has stepped down and Anarchy has prevailed they are more powerfull than ever. They were the only MC gang in California that really prepared for the Twilight. They are to be considered armed and dangerous and easily provoked.

PS: Do not dis Elroys dog!!!!!

Elroy is allways followed by his bodyguard - BIG DOG
