Story of Statesville

Statesville haunted prison had been home to over 200 of the most violent criminals ever incarcerated. There was no parole, no pardon, no mercy: Statesville is where evil was sent to rot until it died. The prisoners of Statesville were subjected to dark experiments and torture befitting their crimes, tactics meant to break them down; however, it only made them stronger and more fierce. Over the decades men and women alike were dehumanized behind Statesville's unyeilding walls until they became, in every way possible, monsters.

For two centuries Statesville was a self-contained Hell, its monstrous inmates preying upon each other, forming alliances, destroying enemies, and honing their skills at brutality, torture and pain of every conceivable kind. The more intelligent inmates even found a way to reach beyond the walls of Statesville, using ancient rituals and blood magick to call into The Abyss, screaming for a saviour.

Their call was answered, unfortunately. The Demon they unwittingly unleashed into Statesville recognized its potential as a Hellish new playground and decided to make it his own. The halls soon ran red as the weaker inmates were slaughtered and the already monstrous prisoners became... something else. Something worse. Ravenous. Insatiable. Truly, mind-bendingly Evil. Following their new master, the prisoners moved against their captors.

In the ensuing uprising, Warden Iegel attempted to gas the entire prison population, but poisonous gas doesn't work on things that no longer breathe. The Warden and his guards were last seen shortly before they entered the prison "to collect the dead", not realizing that the Dead were waiting to collect THEM.

Now, Statesville's Warden is a thing of unspeakable, powerful evil; its inmates vicious, murderous Hellspawn; the very walls themselves seemingly alive and hungry for fresh souls. The gates are open, Statesville is hungry, and the prisoners are waiting around every corner to FEED THE BEAST.

City of the Dead

Centuries ago, dead prisoners were interred in the caves and catacombs beside Statesville Haunted Prison. Persistent rumors that those buried were not resting in peace led Statesville's guards to start calling the burial grounds The City of the Dead.

During the great Statesville uprising, the Dark Magi who had summoned the Demon to Statesville tunneled his way out of the prison, seeking refuge in the neighboring catacombs. To his dismay he discovered that even in death, the evil of Statesville's inmates cannot be escaped. The Darkness in the City of the Dead has a pulse. It is awake. And, like the prison that spawned it, it is HUNGRY.

Perched atop the locked gates of the tomb sits the Dark Magi, now The Gatekeeper, twisted by the Darkness and doomed by his deeds. He has brought forth the denizens of the City of the Dead from their graves, reanimated to prey upon the living. His army slaughters every soul they encounter, and those souls are resurrected into his army. Sooner or later, we will all be counted as citizens of the City of the Dead.

Some of the only children born inside the walls of Statesville, the Maniacs were never given names. Maniacs showed very early signs of dementia. Around the age of two, Maniacs developed a network of unseen conspirators. The medical staff theorized that 'children of Statesville have a psychic connection with the prisoners and the very prison itself'. By the age of four, the children would use this unseen advantage to stage acts of violence. Before the age of six, Maniacs had instigated 4 riots, the murder of 16 prisoners, and wer suspected in the unexplained deaths of the entire Statesville medical staff. Nine doctors were found dead in the electroshock therapy room. The security camera showed them all committing suicide, as they begged unseen figures to spare their lives. It was after the staff was found dead that the entire Maniac Ward were bound to their cell walls in a spread-eagle position for the rest of their days.

The soldiers were killing each other with out ever knowing it. Due to the unknown power of The Dark One, he was buried in the caves of Statesville.

Height: 5’ 6”
Weight:155
Weapon of choice: Electricity
Crimes: 27 counts of murder.

Juice's addiction to electricity and the damage it causes started at a very early age. The first time juice stuck a key into an electrical outlet was a moment similar in effect, as Mozart's first time at the piano. The rush he felt was so powerful and fulfilling that he felt compelled to share its joy with others. At the age of 6, juice grabbed a hold of his cousin Tommy, smiled real big for his watching mom, and forced the metal key into the electrical outlet. From that point on, juice would have to find his electric friend in the confines of boarding homes and juvenile detention centers. After his untimely release from the juvenile system, juice immediately walked to the pool at the town country club, rigged up a nearby power line, waited for the perfect moment to introduce his friend to a packed pool, and earned himself a life sentence at Statesville.

Instead, he motivated them with the end of his whip. He truly believed that men were stronger than rock and he pushed his men until there was nothing left to push. However, the loss of his fourteen men did not stop him, rancid pushed their broken bodies to the side, grabbed a pick ax and finished the job himself.

His experience and dedication to the job at hand earned him the position of "foreman of the caves". He now watches over the miners as they dig dump holes for Statesville's dead. He is not only a fearsome motivat of the digger crew, but he is also the most prolific zombie killer in City of the Dead.

However, there is one thing about Cog that is certain, he has made it his duty to process the meat and blood of Statesville as efficiently as possible.

Prisoner#: 023001975
Height: 6’1’’
Weight: 210
Weapon of choice: club and rope
Crimes: none

Whisper has been the bounty hunter for Statesville Prison since its opening at the turn of the century. It was his job and his passion to capture any escaped convict that made it past the walls. One can say that he was obsessed with his prey. He spent his off days hiding in the shadows of the prison, studying his prey before they even attempted escape. Some inmates claimed that they didn’t even want to escape, but they kept hearing someone encourage them to break out, whispers in the night. Prison records show that “Whisper” had developed an addiction to stimulants while hunting his prey. It was his belief that he could catch any ones trail, if he didn’t need time to rest. To that end, he created a breathing mask that would continually feed him his drug while hunting. Unfortunately, this addiction changed the man that stood for law and order, and created a manipulator of monstrous proportions that secretly aided men in their escape, only so that he could hunt them down like dogs. Before the uprising, Whisper disappeared into the shadows of the prison and did not return until the uprising was finished. There is a theory that Whisper slipped into madness, got too close to his prisoners, and freed the Warden himself. On the other hand, he may have freed the prisoners simply because he enjoys hunting them. To this day, no prisoner has escaped.
