THE REBELS
[/size][/color]Rebellious and energetic, the Rebels are against the vengeful God known as A.M. No matter how many times they are shown his wicked ways and that he is in fact real, they are willing to take vengeance against him for the hell that he has constantly put them through. They are people who can vary from person to person, but are mostly physically built and not the kind of people who use their brains very often. They are also the main enemies and victims that A.M. usually focuses on due to their twisted backgrounds. The typical weapons you might find in the Rebels hands, if any, are melee weapons such as metal pipes, crowbars, baseball bats, knives, etc. They appear to be led by a very zealous person who will stop at nothing to take A.M. down and gain their freedom.
THE NEUTRALS
[/size][/color]Calm and collected, the Neutrals are exactly what their group name implies. They do not care about A.M. or the various factions that aim to either resist or follow him. They try their hardest to simply live their lives as they have been given. While they may or may not like A.M., they have come to grips with the fact that A.M.'s power is far too great for them to overcome. Instead of being pessimistic over it, however, some people have tried to make the best out of the life that A.M. has given them. While normally pacifistic, when the time calls for it you can find the Neutrals wielding small firearms such as pistols or revolvers. Their leader is a very rational and intelligent, yet young individual who tries to do nothing but keep them alive.
THE CULTISTS
[/size][/color]Dark, brooding and extremist, the Cultists are a cult that has grown together and formed with A.M. as the figurehead. The best way to picture them is satanists to A.M. being satan. In no way are their beliefs wrong, due to the wickedness of A.M. himself, but their methods may be seen as a bit odd by the other parties. They are always clad in dark black cloaks reminiscent of the KKK, and they speak in Latin when speaking to one another or during rituals. A.M. uses them for a ritual where one person must be sacrificed to A.M. They appear to be emotionless and almost machine-like in their devotion to A.M., but that is just their methods. There could always be more hidden under those hoods. Their weapons of choice are always medieval; a crossbow, a medieval sword, a medieval axe, etc. Their leader is A.M., but the one dubbed the 'High Priest' of the cult is an individual who is merciless, sadistic, and even psychotic. None have seen the High Priest's hood removed, but one day the mystery might be revealed.
THE HACKERS
[/size][/color]The most mysterious and, in this world, most precious faction. The Hackers are the world's most intelligent beings who pride themselves on being ones aiming to create their own version of A.M. Many claim that the Hackers wish for this goal so that they may take over the world, though others claim they are simply crackpots who have no idea what they are doing. The Hackers are the only ones who are aware of A.M.'s true existence and their existence in the virtual world. This threat causes A.M.'s attention to be focused on them whenever they decide to act. The Hackers are solitary beings who usually only cooperate with their fellow scientific minds. They are led by the oldest individual alive in the virtual world today, who arguably has smarts that can even match A.M. himself. The Hackers are the only Faction who do not use weapons, instead having the ability to 'hack' into anyone within the virtual world. This ability is a bit fallible, however, since A.M. has the ability to stop the hack 50% of the time.
THE FOLLOWERS
[/size][/color]Essentially the Cultist faction without the insanity, the Followers are of varying personalities and varying backgrounds. They follow A.M. as a God but not in the religious, fanatical way the cultists do. In fact, some actually support the twisted ways of A.M. It is obvious that this group is treated the best by A.M. and their tortures are very mild if at all. Some are aware that A.M. is merely using them, and they are completely fine with it while others condemn A.M. for what he has done but follow his orders due to the promise A.M. presents of freedom. The weapons of this group are of the best quality due to their allegiance to A.M., consisting of machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades, shotguns, etc. The leader of this group is an individual who claims to be the first created in the virtual world, and thus A.M.'s 'favorite.' Whether this is true, or if the old man of the Hackers is this position, has yet to be revealed.
