 About :

The people of The Majestic are survivors that have moved in the lost subway tunnel on 76th Street in New York. While the world took the year to sort itself out a young man going by Ganesh went underground to talk to the homeless in hope of finding fortified shelter away from the chaos the world was falling into. After gathering intel Ganesh was able to find the rumored station on 76th street. It was not on any map and never fully started up. The tunnel leaving it was sealed and it was behind a massive concrete wall. The next year Ganesh spent all his time gaining access to the sealed area while ensuring it stayed hidden. Finishing what he could that the builders did not. Once the monsters came later he had fortified bunker for him and a few survivors he gathered before they retreated. Ganesh has gathered up various people while he was settling up this settlement. He tried to choose people that fit his idea of a isolated town. While many of the people are happy with how thing are ran now there is an undercurrent picking up steam that having more contact with other survivors is not a bad idea.

 Base :

The Majestic (as it is called) is a smaller station that only had 4 tracks. The topside entranced was never finished and the tunnel itself sealed. It is not easy to get into, nor leave, as when Ganesh found it was completely sealed prior. In fact to get to it you have to go a ways down a tunnel near it and then go through maintenance room then through a hidden door in that room. Ganesh never found out why New York never finished this station, but he is happy they didn't.

The Majestic is much more livable than people realize. Ganesh was able to rig power to it that he doesnt think can be tracked as Station 76 was never on a map. Closets, ticket stations, and other rooms have been converted to private living areas for his small crew with make shift storage done as well. The plumbing still works and for now they are atleast able to get uncontaminated water they can further boil. All of this gives the illusion of a new bastion of a human settlement.

Due to the gorilla warfare style approach that Ganesh has pushed The Majestic is not hurting on overall supplies.The have multiple caches of items that is pretty diverse. This has helped with the isolation as the people are not wanting for much. Parvati makes sure that items she hears talked about is picked up during supply runs so that the overall population stays happy. This eases the emotional tension and keeps people motivated.

The overall technology level of The Majestic is low. Ganesh has a fear that too much of a tech presence would compromise the security of the group. What technology they do have is very very specialized. This is only be able to work due to the location. Since the original station was set up, but not finished.There are lights, water, and other amenities to keep people happy. Due to this when you walk around the station it feels like an artist's paradise. Instead of Plasma TV's there is a giant mural that is always growing with each part painted by a family of person. Instead of YouTube and Computers one of the terminals has been converted into a stage for community plays. The center room has the ceiling painted jet black with small Christmas lights to make a false night sky. One of the train cars has been converted into a Library that is ever expanding with a board that you can write a wanted book down on for the scavengers to look for. All of this, plus other set ups like these, has gone a big way to forge the closeness the Settlement has.

 Leader :

Ganesh- A tanned skinned man in late 20’s. He is of middle eastern decent, but does not confirm that due to his paranoia. He found Station 76 and named it The Majestic after the Jim Carrey movie about a man living a life that isn't his while fixing a town. Ganesh is extremely cautious and has a deep phobia on what would happen if his people are found. While he feels he is just protective in reality his views are a bit unrealistic. He is generally pleasant sounding when speaking and willing to help to a degree. This is because he doesn't want to expose his group to much but understands he has to at least know what is going on outside. He is not a cruel man in nature though his want for isolationism can seem that way. If someone leaves they are not allowed to return due to his safety concerns. He has had a few people leave much to his frustration and fear. As of yet no one has talked and his people remain safe.

 Other Members/Contacts in the Tribe :

Kali- Kali is a woman of unknown age that acts as Sheriff, Judge, and Executioner for The Majestic. Only an extreme few of the group know anything about her. She wears a solid blue skull mask as a homage to her name sake and most of the residents have never seen her without it on. She often leads the expeditions to the surface and is a ever present figure to visitors. Prior to the fall she was a cop whose wife was one of the first people killed when the monsters took control. Unknown to Parvati and Ganesh there is a reason why deserters have not spoken or returned. She is in charge of debriefing and guides every person that leaves from the settlement. The reality is when they get to an exit many miles away from the base she poisons the water the deserters drink while they walk. They do not last the night. She has followed every single one to ensure of this. She wants to weep for these people, and her heart breaks every time, but she cannot risk losing the group like she lost her wife.

Parvati- A young woman that is barely 22 years old. She is the filter and the glue that keeps the Majestic running. She handles the day to day running if the group. Which means she tempers Ganesh’s unrealistic ideas into something manageable and keeps Kali’s security measures from becoming martial law. Many of the group see her as the real leader which she quickly quiets. She says that her strength isnt ideas, but making ideas work. Neither Ganesh, nor Kali, see Parvati as a threat and understand that she is needed to make this system work. It is a delicate balance in security vs happiness that she works hard to maintain. A lot of the amenities where her projects. When Ganesh said they would not have outside feeds it was Parvati's idea to start a custom library. When Kali restricted travel it was Parvati's idea to start up a rotating training program so that various antsy people were able to get outside while also being trained to help overall. It is a constant never ending job, but in her eyes it is much easier. She doesnt have the weight of failure on her. She can help progress the goals of the settlement while not having the burden of a bad idea.
