Insurgency

Overview
Insurgent takes place in an Alternate Universe where villains and heroes are part of everyday life. With crime and villainy overtaking the streets, many citizens take it upon themselves to put an end to organized crime. As these heroes defeat smaller gangs, The Underground's prisons overflow with new inmates, and a new facility is set up much deeper in The Underground. While petty criminals are given the normal route of justice and placed in a low security prison, this facility is much different. Only the powerful and the dangerous enter, and none have escaped so far. With "The Hole" being an abandoned city, criminals have made their homes within, and continue to operate. Several heroes now enter The Hole, hoping to erase all traces of villainy from The Underground...forever.

Setting
Insurgent takes place in a prison-city called "The Hole". Established many years ago, The Hole is where troublesome inmates and powerful crimelords are sent. The Hole is an old city, originally built by Monsters as a fallback point during The War. With the city now being used as a type of "free range" prison, crime bosses and psychopaths rule the streets from the safety of still standing buildings. As The Underground finally becomes a safe place once more, heroes find themselves with no purpose, and search for a new meaning. Many heroes are arrested for their brutal ways, and sent to The Hole. These former heroes have been broken down by years of abuse and have turned into much darker, dangerous people. With their fellow heroes going missing, a small group of heroes enter The Hole undercover, not only searching for their friends, but looking for a way to stop whatever the citizens of The Hole have planned.

Characters
Slade - Originally one of The Underground's many heroes, Slade was unmasked by a group of thugs and dragged deeper into The Hole. This was 7 years ago, when The Hole was just a hangout for small-time criminals. After The Hole was transformed into a prison city, reports emerged of a crazed man with a white stripe in his hair returning from a raging fire, and taking charge of a small gang. Slade now has several burn scars on his body, but these scars are mostly covered by his outfit. His face is now covered in makeup, giving him the disturbing appearance of a clown with a burn scar on his left cheek.
