BackLot Clan - Springfield District
“Small steps, big traps”
Once a scattering of kids left behind when families fled, the Backlot grew into a tight-knit, scrappy clan.
They turned their empty neighborhood into a maze of teen-sized defenses, improvised traps, and “keep out” zones.
What they lack in size, they make up for with agility, cleverness, and a fierce loyalty to one another.
Outsiders see them as harmless, right up until they spring an ambush worthy of any action movie.
Rivals - They fear the Lot Rats
Friendly - Cornerstone
Lot Rats Clan - Springfield District
“The show never ends”
The Lot Rats lurk in the old film studios, where abandoned props and half-finished sets became their world.
Over time, they embraced the surreal atmosphere, mixing theatrics with the occult.
They’re odd, unpredictable, and unsettling to outsiders. Some say they’ve forgotten entirely where the roles end and the real world begins.
Leader - King Tim (some say he's no longer Human....)
Rivals - Everyone
Friendly - No one
The Extras Clan - Springfield District
“Background no more”
Rejected from fame, the Extras cling to the scraps of the entertainment industry.
Using costumes, set pieces, and whatever can be scavenged from the studio backlots, they’ve built a camp of makeshift glamour.
They pretend not to care about their rivals, the Lot Rats but their rivalry smolders like an old feud between competing casts.
They still dream of rising above “background character” status, even in the apocalypse.

“Steel stands. So do we!”

Known for their engineering skill and work ethic, they believe survival comes from grit, structure, and metal. Solid and unbreakable.

Their order and etiquette mask a calculating, disciplined leadership style.

They’re adaptable and street-smart, with a rougher, more chaotic energy than Cornerstone.
Though tensions exist, the diner folk see themselves as survivors of the “real world,” not just a neighborhood club.

“Brilliance in every byte”
Fear drove the Ctrl Freaks indoors early, and they never truly came back out.
