Name: Linas Kazlauskas

Nickname: Linya, Raccoon, Grey

Setting: 1980's Earth after a nuclear war

Location: Quarters of Project Watchman in Krasnodar Exclusion Zone, Russia. Placed in an old, once luxurious hotel, which lost most of its former glory, but is still one of the best quarters out there.

Historic Background: Following World War II, tensions between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. didn't just simmer in a cold war...they exploded in conflict when the U.S.S.R. attacked the U.S. directly. In response, multiple nuclear warheads were dropped on every one of the U.S.S.R.'s major cities. Over the course of the next few decades, people started reporting strange happenings in the ruins of Russia's former hubs of habitation. Those areas were named "exclusion zones", or simply "zona" in Russian, surrounded by high security walls to try to minimize the spread of hazardous weather anomalies caused by extremely high radiation levels. The remnants of the government formed an organization dubbed Project Watchman. Some of the Watchmen are volunteers. Many are not. Convicted felons can be legally recruited if their talents for crime prove useful to the organization. Only the head of the Project has the authority to grant final approval to prisoners that catch the eye of the program recruiters. Misplaced talent can be reshaped into something useful. Blatant disregard for authority will get you shot.

The Watchmen live in quarters at the border of their assigned zona, guarding the outer walls against bandits and dreaded mutants with unnatural abilities brought on by radiation and genetic manipulation. (A plot hatched by the distant Americans? An abandoned early version of Project Watchmen with less satisfying results? The truth is classified beyond belief. Even the Head Watchman has only bits and pieces.) Watchmen are also sent on missions inside the zona they guard, recovering scientific equipment and doing research on radiation reduction, as well as vigilantly seeking out and eliminating spies and threats to the restoration of the Motherland.

Members of the Watchmen are told in no uncertain terms that to give yourself to the program is to commit for life. There is no backing out once the training has begun.
