Since the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, warden Quincey Sharp has taken credit for Batman's successful quelling of Joker's uprising and used that momentum to win Gotham City's mayoral election. The first of his broad-sweeping plans is to proclaim Arkham Asylum and Blackgate prison unfit to house criminals. Sharps buys up a large swath of Gotham's slums and walls it off, stocking the perimeter with highly trained armed mercenaries from an outfit named Tyger. All prisoners are transported to this new facility dubbed Arkham City approximately one year after the events at the asylum. They are given only one rule under threat of death: do not try to escape. No other policing takes place inside, leaving a mix of two-bit criminals and super villains to eke out an existence in this lawless, ruthless ecosystem.

Arkham City is only loosely based on the game of the same name. Seeing as the game isn't even out yet, that's a given. If you want to explore character development in a lawless society, then you're in the right place.

Arkham City...
Is chaos incarnate. There is no law here, no structure, no civility, no God. The inmates have free reign so long as they stay within the Arkham City walls.

Tyger Mercenaries
These ruthless men and women are here for one reason and one reason alone: To keep all hell from spilling out of Arkham and into the general public. They're armed, they're dangerous and they definitely shoot first. Fuck the questions.

Criminals
These are the poor, unlucky souls who really get the brunt of things. Whether you were holding up a grocery store so you could feed your family, or you were caught breaking parole, or you were dealing drugs --if you were locked up in Blackgate for it you're stuck with the crazies now. Good luck.

Villains & the Criminally Insane
The biggest reason Arkham City was formed. If you were transferred from Arkham Asylum, then you're in this category. These are the high rollers, the big bads, the people you don't want piss off. Nearly all of Batman's rogues gallery falls into this category. Oh, and hey! The mercenaries have a pool going on who'll successfully appoint them self mayor first. My money's on Two-Face.

”Oh my God… It’s gone. It’s all gone.”

October 14th, 2009. The President is assassinated by the Brotherhood
of Mutants in an explosion that levels ten square blocks of Manhattan.
Over 50,000 are killed, humans and mutants alike. The
Brotherhood hopes that this will prove to the world that mutants are
not going to go down easily. There is now a gaping hole in the Earth
where Madison Square Garden once stood. New York City is reduced
to a state of martial law.

”Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do, I know the laws! Kill them!
Kill them right now! Every single last mutant scum man, woman,
and child!”

The new President has made it obvious that he wants mutants dead,
and he wants them dead now. Project Trinity is promoted the
government’s latest project to create the ultimate weapon to
eliminate the mutant threat once and for all – a mutant super soldier
to be brainwashed to kill his own kind. Chosen from the masses
because of his untapped skills that could make him the most powerful
mutant known to man, first things first – he must be captured, and
the government must send one of their own, an unsuspecting victim
herself, to lure him out.

”Damn it, you can’t die on me! Wake up, please, just wake up… You
can’t leave me alone!”

For the mutants who themselves are innocent victims, there is
nothing much left besides hope and instinct. For those in hiding, it is
just a waiting game as the walls close in around them. For those who
choose to fight back, every move they make can be their last.
Meanwhile, humans have been beaten into fear by their government,
all of it caused by one vengeful man who chose to pick one scapegoat
from the masses after the death of his family. And now this fear is
spreading.

”These are the new days of infamy. This fugitive generation, they
will not get away with their crimes. Together, the world will win and
humanity will prevail once and for all. Let us remember our dead
and now focus our eyes on a future free of the mutant threat. May
God have mercy on us all.”

THIS IS THE FUGITIVE GENERATION.
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF INFAMY.

The Fugitive Generation is an AU X-Men RPG, rated R for
violence and some adult themes. We are rated intermediate to
advanced and are looking for people who want to explore something
that the RPG world has not seen from an X-Men RPG before. We take
no prisoners and we have no mercy. We’re ready to blow this world to
pieces.

NO KNOWLEDGE OF X-MEN NEEDED!
