;Notable NPCs:
:Elena Chavez ([[Beloved]])
;General Disposition:
:Cold, controlling, cocky, better-than-you, brutal.

*They have a number of shops at Key Station that buy low, sell high.
*They control the main access point between the green line and blue line with a blockade and charge you money to pass through.
*The KSG can be identified by their 1920's-inspired outfits. NPCs will be wearing things like flapper dresses, waistcoats, fedoras, etc.
[[The Shadow People]] are not actually a branch of the Key Station Gangsters. Instead, they're members of the U.S. government using the gangsters as a front. The KSG don't mind the publicity.
*The KSG don't actually know where the Shadow People take their victims.

==Beliefs About the Virus==
As a former Dweller, Beloved believes that the virus is natural. This being said, Beloved encourages the people of the KSG to believe whatever they want, in order to better obfuscate the KSG's activities and encourage the faction's air of mystique.

;Notable NPCs:
:[[Gregorovich]] (very big man, guard captain), [[Mister Americana]] (the mayor, affable despite the Dweller’s reputation)
;General Disposition:
:Openly hostile. Highly insular. Inherently Mysterious.

While the vast majority of the Dwellers are content with their life inside the Mall, wanderlust has been known to befall the residents. Throughout the years, a sparse few have abandoned the safety and comfort that the Mall provides to venture into the underground, managing to slip through the walls and past the guards to satiate their curiosity. For fear that their time beyond the walls may poison their minds, those that do manage to escape are shunned and exiled, never allowed to return, so that their poison does not spread into the Mall and destroy their sacred way of life.

*While known by outsiders as the Dwellers, they refer to themselves by another name, Mulberrians, taken from the name of the mall they inhabit: Mulberry Mall.
*Outsiders are never permitted within the mall under any circumstances. The Dwellers fire upon anyone who approaches and ignores the warning. *All entrances have been thoroughly sealed.
*The interior of the mall is quite pleasant and generally homely. The Mayor has made efforts to create a slice of Americana within its walls, providing the people with ample amenities and supplies.
*The Dwellers are so staunchly isolationist out of fear that those beyond their walls, be they living or dead, might ruin the idyllic life they have created for themselves. Whether the world above is truly gone or they have simply been sealed away and forgotten matters not to the Dwellers. In either circumstance they have been abandoned, and that cannot be forgiven. The world above is as dead to the Dwellers as they are to the world above.
*The Dwellers are so adamant in this isolation that they will actively impede any attempts made by the other survivors and factions to escape the underground, should they catch wind of such efforts.
*The Dwellers have spies among the other factions, keeping track of their activities to enforce the above rules.

=== Beliefs About the Virus ===
Mister Americana, being a well-educated man himself, believes that the virus is a '''natural occurrence''', and encourages the rest of the Dwellers to believe the same. Some among the Dwellers may have personal doubts, but by and large they follow the Mayor's lead.

==Before the Cave-in==
===1891:===
{{Expand
|Title=A flood decimates an entire district in Marcheleau.
|Content=Following the flood, the government sent a team into the damaged district to survey the area and ensure it was safe for development. The team never reported back. A second team was sent in to investigate, cautioned to proceed into the flood zone with greater care, and discovered the surveyors. Only half of the second team made it out alive.
}}
{{Expand
|Title=Zombie virus discovered. In response, the government paves over the entire district.
|Content=It was with the discovery that the district was filled with the seemingly reanimated corpses of its former inhabitants that the government decided to pave over the flooded ruins and start anew. Thus, the zombie plague was sealed away. But it was not forgotten.

Throughout the ensuing decades, knowledge of the incident carried across the various administrations, though none ever acted upon the information; for all intents and purposes, the problem had been dealt with. It wasn't until the cave-in in '83 that the issue resurfaced.
}}
'''Those who were trapped in the district during the flood begin to rebuild underground.'''

===1970's:===
'''Marcheleau begins building a metro system, taking care not to make contact with already-existing infrastructure for fear of zombie virus.'''
===Late 1970's-Early 1980's:===
{{Expand
|Title=Expansion of the metro starts creating connections between metro line and the rest of the abandoned underground. Zombie virus appears in the metro system.
|Content=As the vast complex of businesses, tunnels, residential zones, and the metro itself continued to expand, the construction companies struggled more and more with the limited space. Soon enough, corners were cut and risks were taken to facilitate the expansion of the underground and satisfy its booming population and economy, and an ill-fated construction team broke into the infected zone that had been sealed away nearly a century prior.
}}

==After the Cave-in==
===1983:===
{{Expand
|Title=Marcheleau causes a cave-in that blocks off part of the metro and seals off other exits in hopes of containing the zombie virus.
|Content=Knowing that the incident risked further spread of the virus, the government decided to seal the affected area down completely.
}}
{{Expand
|Title=Biological tests on zombies begin, both to discover a cure and to use as a weapon of war.
|Content=There were some that were not satisfied with simple containment, and so efforts began to study the virus.
}}

===1984:===
{{Expand
|Title=The CDC discovers the Marcheleau water table is contaminated. Not everyone becomes infected, but some become carriers.
|Content=With better knowledge and technology than existed a century prior, the government was better prepared to manage, and perhaps even eradicate the virus. With the ongoing research efforts underway, a daunting prospect began to loom: what if the water table were to become infected? Knowing that the virus arose following the flood, the government began to fear that it may spread into the water table, and thereby escape the bounds of the sealed underground.
}}
{{Expand
|Title=Under the guise of measles inoculations, CDC begins identifying carriers of the virus and locking them in the underground for further experimentation.
|Content=Under the guise of inoculating the region's populace against an ongoing measles outbreak, the government began to screen its citizens, and discovered that their fears were a reality - there were those above ground that were already carriers of the virus. Debates on how to proceed immediately took place and stretched on for weeks. Though some counseled for a measured approach, ultimately the hardliners won out.

Rather than risk a greater catastrophe, or panic among the populace should they go public, the government began to disappear carriers as they were discovered, to be secreted away into the large-scale pitri dish that is Marcheleau's underground.
}}

'''[[Mr. Americana]] unites the people who were trapped underground and coins them the Mulberrians -- otherwise known as [[The Dwellers]].'''

'''In response to Mr. Americana's exclusivity, Jonas Turner and his cronies form the [[Key Station Gangsters]].'''

'''[[Elena Chavez]] opts to leave the Mulberrians and join the Key Station Gangsters.'''

===1985:===
'''The first disappearances begin. Rumors circulate the undercity of Shadow People abducting victims who crossed the KSG. The KSG make no attempt to refute this.'''

===1988:===
'''Jonas Turner is disappeared by [[The Shadow People]]. Elena Chavez takes his place as leader.'''

===1989:===
'''The people living in the sewer system are finally recognized as a group: [[The Ratfolk]]'''
