The 206 Free A.N. Raider Clan-Gang, or simply the 206 Raiders, are a staunch but subdued raider society primarily settled in Firebreak, Seattle who still lead lives of a barbaric, uncivilized, and primal nature. Savage warriors with a cannibalistic tendency to consume their victims, believing that doing so was to absorb the energy of the victim, the 206 are feared and denounced for their nightmarish furiosity while raiding, and leave bloody trails of death in their wake.
Founded and focused in Fremont Seattle, the 206 have been raiding and raping since the early dawn of post-apocalyptic time, however the majority of the modern day clan-gang are now civilised peoples living under Black Family dominion. It is impossible to pinpoint their origin or date of establishment because they are a conglomeration of many tribal raider clans and gangs: however, they have been compared to a cancer, slowly chipping away at Fremont's health since their descent upon the innocent.
At the height of their glory, they possessed nearly seventy loyal and active members representing the 206 throughout Seattle. Unfortunately for them, after many falling outs, financial disputes, raids by enemy groups and other ill-fated incidents, they have diminished to fifteen true members. The raider society has split into two factions under the same banner: the 'Rebel' 206 Raiders who now live under Black Family rule in Firebreak, and the 'True' 206 Raiders who still continue their ancient raid and pillage traditions across Seattle. In spite of this distinctive change of guard, the True 206 raid Seattle every once in a while fiercely and foolishly, while the Rebel 206 thrive in a subdued yet sheltered world.
History[]
Founding (est. 2108 - 2124)[]
The raider society which would become known as the 206 Raider Clan-Gang banded together out of desperation to survive in a new marginalized, oppressive, anti-raider world which was encroaching endlessly into their normal way of life. Native Fremont residents, settlers from surrounding districts, and migrating caravan companies had had enough of their raiding and were counter-raiding the raiders, eliminating small pockets, waylay gangs, and even entire raider tribes who have been together since the Great War. To persevere and live as they always have and not be forced to exist like normal citizens, five once rival tribal clans banded together beneath one powerful fellowship. They used their shared interests, collaborative efforts, and in-fight peacemaking to withstand the oppressive gentrifying Seattle wastelanders. The 206 became a new family for which no raider was left behind and each raider was part of the family. When the society was establishing there were tremendous disputes over the complete official name: 206 was a given as it symbolized the state they represented, and was one of the main similarities which brought the raiders together; The Fremont raiders also wanted 'Free' somewhere in the mix, to represent their hometown; the southbound raiders wanted Clan while the Avenue N raiders wanted 'Gang'. After a total of twelve heated discussions, seven of which ending in bloodshed and gunfire, they finally settled on 'Clan-Gang' with clan taking precedence through fair alphabetization.

Decline and Split (2270–present)[]
Many former 206 raiders who gave up their lives of raiding have tried to assimilate themselves within normal society, though they still face the disdain and discrimination by their peers for their raider origins. The Geigers are the most accepting group and it is rare for a former raider to be turned away from the community; they have also started a subgroup within the Geigers known as the Freed.
The Rebel 206s, on the other hand, are determined to move on from their past as raiders and demonstrate that they can make a positive contribution to society. They have formed their community at Firebreak, working as farmers, scavengers, and laborers to make ends meet under the Black Family sovereignty. However, they are still struggling to overcome their former raider reputation and gain the trust of those around them, especially when the True 206s, stationed in Fremont, still continue to raid.
Among all of this, some former 206s have fallen through the cracks and are now squabbling homeless beggars, field workers, garbagemen, construction workers, Blackswain, or lowly paid caravan guards. They go about their daily lives, always on the outskirts of society, and are frequently looked down upon by both former raider comrades and society at large.
Culture[]
The 206 are incredibly fierce and primal, and they take great pride in being raiders. Every gender and age group participates in raids, with some women being more valuable in a fight than men. The 206 excel at wild nighttime guerrilla raids, preferring ambush predator tendencies over open gunfire or pursuit predation. They prefer to use close-range melee weapons rather than long-ranged firepower.
Their abilities in stealth and evasion have earned them comparisons to rats, as they can appear out of nowhere from the shadows and vanish just as quickly. Many survivors have described their experiences with the True 206 Raiders as frightening encounters with the supernatural. Their ability to navigate the intricate network of sewers, metros, and hidden crevices that crisscrosses the Seattle metropolitan area gives them a distinct advantage over their adversaries. Raiding is more than just a means of survival for the True 206s; it's a way of life.
Raiding[]
The 206 Raider is a passionate, skilled, and bloodthirsty fighter. Raiding is undoubtedly the most popular recreational activity for these heinous warriors, just as trading or farming is for the average Cascadian settler. The reasons and causes for their feared raids are limitless: disputes over land and resources, quarrels over sex and slaves, a desire to exact vengeance for past transgressions or deaths, or simply for no reason, anything can be seen as an adequate reason for a raid, and convince the leaders and raiders that it is time to sound the war drums and issue a call to arms.
The 206 Raiders can form groups as large as ten or as small as three, and they can choose to be known as a 'Raid Clan' or a 'Raid Gang,' but if a First Joineration or Leader participates, they must always be known as a 'Raid Clan-Gang.' A raider is unlikely to raid alone unless they have been subjected to a 'bloodtrial,' in which they must complete a task alone. Nightraids are their standard raiding style, with warriors springing from beneath the streets from the sewage system, blades in hand.
Tribal Marks[]
It is customary for raiders to be adorned with ceremonial markings, cuts, and tattoos in 206 culture. The majority of these tattoos are done in private areas such as the chest, buttocks, and thighs. It is not uncommon for more esteemed members to be covered from head to toe in intricate, meaningful patterns and symbolism.
Due to the sacred and pure nature of these tattoo processes, it is customary for them to be performed in a community centre surrounded by members. Surprisingly, the tattoo artists are barred from receiving tattoos, are clean-skinned, and are castrated and undergo glossectomy due to the sexual nature of the tattoo locations. These sacrifices ensure that the artists are solely focused on their craft and are not distracted by personal desires or distractions while tattooing.
These tribal markings are not only for decoration, but also to communicate with other members of the 206 clan, indicating one's history, which Clan or Gang they are descended from, and any achievements they have earned during war and raids.
Notable Individuals[]
Current[]
Tai Killo is one of the de facto leaders of the modern 206 Raider Clan-Gang, having deposed Aaveir in a brutal surprise coup d'état. The power struggle caused a schism within the group, with loyalties shifting between those who support Tai known as the 'Rebel' 206 Clan, and those who remain loyal to Aaveir, known as the 'True' 206 Gang.
Having taken over command of the 206 in 2270, Tai Killo introduced a new code of conduct that placed a strong emphasis on discipline, cooperation, and restraint. Tai understood that if they wanted to survive over the long term —especially with the Black Family and Emerald City circling like vultures— they could not continue their old raider ways anymore. Additionally, Tai allowed members who wished to leave the raider lifestyle to do so without fear of retribution, even their slaves. Some of the 206 felt that Tai was softening up and betraying their history as a result of this decision, which caused a massive rift in the 206, causing over half of them to leave to form the True 206 Gang, settling somewhere to the South in Fremont.
