TASS is a group of mercenaries and party animals with little to no moral obligations that will do whatever dirty deeds they can to earn kaps, in order to be able to spend as many as possible on booze and partying.

Members

Attending 2022

Zeke Wolfgang

(Mathias Abrahamsson): Gun nut, gearhead and wannabe hacker. Deep down he's really just a nice guy, but the hardships of the wasteland has left it's kinks in his morality. Usually found roaming the wastelands on his bike, shooting up targets for kaps, or drinking away in the bars. Friendly and easygoing when approached, but also gullible and bad with numbers. If it sounds like a bad idea, Zeke is probably involved in some capacity.

Bjarne Torborg

(Johan Nyqvist): Bjarne is a human who has been slightly mechanically altered after an accident in his youth. Now he is on the run from the people who made his cybernetics (Oh, they are gonna get him, they yelled as such as he was running away!), and tries his best to stay anonymous while making something of a living in the wastelands. Shoots people, protects caravans or makes little refreshing tonics (They have herbs in them! Must be healthy!) for cash.

Fennek Rävsvans

(Chris Gårdenberg): The groups assassination and "other tasks" member. He was a bit awkward when it came to social arrangements and would rather stick to the background (preferably in a bush or under a tree), but has since a couple of years back started to learn how to behave like the ones he either targets or socialize with. Fennek mostly handles problem solving, assassination, extortion among other tasks. He also enjoys friendly melee battles over some drinks.

Felida

(Lina Sundqvist): Has managed to sortof convince most of the crew she is capable of mind control. More or less acts as the de facto leader of the group since Zeke is afraid of her. Dislikes when people take advantage of naive beings (such as Fennek). Dislikes weapons, but allows them because they bring in all them sweet caps. Actually, she dislikes pretty much everything, especially that fucking circus.

Prospects

Dr. Rubin & Zinder

Two siblings, who were enthralled by the (somewhat embellished) storytellings of TASS previous heroisms, enough so to earn them a spot as prospects for the team. Dr. Rubin has proven herself a capable medic, while Zinder has a nack for tinkering with various contraptions he manages to get his hands on.

Currently AWOL

Lovis 'Glonken' Glonk

(Jenny Modée): The group's... intern? As one of those really snotty brats that really shouldn't exist anymore, Glonken fumbles around in the world while striving to get back to those lazy, comfortable days in her youth (before she was thrown out of her home and into the arms of TASS) where she didn't have to handle weapons or struggle to get food on the table. Glonken is snarky and can be obnoxious around those she knows and feels superior to but scares easily and likes to hide behind easier targets.

Former

Dr. Martens 'Sobel'

See Radiotjänst

History

Prologue

When the bouncer/hacker Zeke found the half-dead cyborg Bjarne on the doorstep of the nightclub where he worked, he brought him to the only medichanic he knew - Dr Sobel. Sobel was able to restore Bjarne to semi-working condition, albeit with a few quirks. Sobel's workshop was soon after torched to the ground, and he theorises this was done by whoever wanted Bjarne dead in the first place, and thus blames Zeke for bringing him there at all.

Zeke promised Sobel a new workshop, and the three joined forces to scrap together the kaps needed to fulfil the promise. They made friends with the travelling demolition squad G&B Sprängarna, with whom they've blown up lots of stuff over the years.

In 2144, they accepted a mission to save the kidnapped farmer Glonk from the Scania Slave Traders. The mission was unfortunately a failure, due to G&B accidentally blasting a concrete wall into Glonk's face. They did however find and release two other prisoners - Fennek and Felida - who have since then become active members of the team.

As recompense for killing farmer Glonk, TASS was persuaded by his wife to taking care of their spoiled child Lovis, and teach her how the real world works. Calling herself "Glonken", she is now too a part of the team.

Operating mainly out of the nothern Stockholm wasteland, they have a base in the old strip mine in Hakunge.

After travelling to the outpost to cash in on a bounty, they have decided to stay for as long as the drugs and alcohol lasts.

Year 2146

Having caught and killed the rogue cyborg Greger, TASS decided to sell the scrapped brain implant for caps. ARS&e was in the end willing to pay up in order to keep their robotic projects going.

TASS also met up their old friends G&B Sprängarna and aided them in wrecking raids. Unfortunately, they also met old enemies in the form of Maskinhundarna, owing a large debt for robbing their fuel depot, ultimately blaming it on Sverker Larsson.

Feeling they could use a break from the usual mercing, Felida took Glonken and Bjarne to the circus. Glonken and Bjarne even got to go up on stage and perform with shaving cream! Glonken failed miserably at throwing the white suspicious looking substance at the target. But it was still fun! Poor Felida was the only one not under a drug induced euphoria, and in order to cleanse her memory of the haunting experience, she took the entire gang out on a bar round.

Glonken found her blood-painting the day after, and with some clever negotiating, she was able to trade in some kattsyler for it.

While promoting his homemade Snake Oil, Bjarne got in a fight with Kalle Kofot - the latter not appreciating the tasty taste of the tasty brew. This feud was ultimately settled in the arena, with Kalle being force fed the drink, and made to publicly acknowledge his appreciation.

Year 2147

Dr. Sobel found a new venue in selling radio equipment to the other settlers, as well as his own Skruvsup to the various bars around town. Zeke found and repaired an old moped that they used for transportation and high speed chases in the gravel.

Bjarne got his face removed by Syfilis in an arena fight in a spectacularly unfair fight involving EMP's. Syfilis later sold Bjarnes face to Kalle Kofot, causing aggrevation and retaliation from the rest of TASS. After a lot of shooting and stabbing back and forth, Pappa announced that Kalle was out of his good graces for stirring up so much trouble.

Glonken took a leisurly stroll out to the woods, but managed to get lost. Unable to guide the rest of TASS to her position, she was soon ambushed and knocked out. After coming to her senses, she found Fennek and they both joined the caravan back to the city.

TASS renewed their friendship with Sverker Larsson, after both agreeing that everything was Maskinhundarnas fault anyway. Beer and food was happily consumed in the comfort of Rökoteket.

Glonken also somehow managed to end up in the Lion Hunt of 2147, that had attacking Leo as it's primary goal, due to rumors that Leo was in fact in kahoots with the Panzerwolves. In the end, it all ended well, with a pile of dead Panzerwolves at the gates of the city.

The animosity with Maskinhundarna was kept at a steady upward slope, with taunts and, sometimes, bullets slung in either direction. In the end, TASS joined Kumlamilisen in order to make a statement and show who owns the streets.

Year 2148

Most of TASS has left Stråssa in search of a mystical artifact. Sobel stayed behind, trying to run his Radiotjänst business, while hosting Zonfararna in the container.

Year 2149

TASS returned to Stråssa, only to find their previous home occupied by new inhabitants. The group settled down just north of the town and just barely managed to restart the production and distribution of Skruvsup. With their new prospects needing to show their worth, they set out to put their skills to the test.

Glonken, being away on vacation, sent a care package to the group, with instructions on how to properly initiate the new prospects. Inspired by the VHSes of old, a bachelorette party was held, with proper challenges for Dr. Rubin and Zinder to solve.

The group celebrated their return to Stråssa with a spectacular game of Twister, with free* Skruvsup for all competitors. After a long and hard battle, X-05 was beaten by the staminous Jack Sparv. Sparv was awarded the honor of whacking Greg the Piñata until he broke and bled everywhere.

Later, Foxy News dropped by with a pile of invoices for Glonkens data usage while away on vacation. Turned out her VHS had been disabled, so she used Foxy News radio link to streem movies. Joining on video link, Glonkens film priviledge was revoked until the debt was worked off. TASS agreed to work for Foxy News in order to settle the invoices.

Skruvsup proved to be a fruitful venture again, and TASS delivered the drink to all the bars, including Psykåsen. While delivering drinks to the green bar, Zeke was apprehended and tortured for wanting payment for the delivery. Broken and bleeding, he was delivered to TASS camp. Narrowly saved from death by Dr. Rubin and Felida, Zeke appeared to have mutated, growing a set of fangs.

Zeke was again apprehended and brought before the Lawmens trial. With Felida acting as his defence, the court was reminded that removing Zeke would remove Skruvsup, and he was aquitted of all charges.

Cindy of Daily Panic!, flirting her way past Zeke, seized the opportunity to hide a detonator for a bomb in TASS camp. When finally caught by Psykåsen and tortured to find the location of the detonator, Fennek was quick to find it and deliver it, only to be cut up and tortured himself. He managed to make it out alive and mostly well in the end.

Rumours of a competing brand, titled Skrevsup, reached Bjarnes ear. He discovered that the Digerpiraterna were so infatuated with the drink, they had started to produce their own pirated version. After a few scuffles and shootouts, both groups agreed that it was probably Foxy News fault anyway, and settled the score by breaking Snattes kneecaps.

During a Panzerwolf raid, Zinder and Zeke found themselves in the wasteland, surrounded by Jugger Wolves. Zinder proved his worth by disabling one of the Juggers with a well placed shovel hit in its head.

The prospects finally completed all of their bachelorette challenges, and were accepted as full members of the team, just in time to participate in the gruesome slaughter of all who dared oppose Kumla and the Panzerwolves.

Rumours

  • Zeke hates mutants. There are also rumours that his mother was a mutant.
  • Glonken gets all her intel from old world relics, called Vee-Age-Esses. How accurate her interpretations of them are, is a debated topic.
  • Felida actually has mind control powers. She just pretends they're fake.
  • Fennek makes jerky out of Panzerwolf meat, and gladly shares it to his friends.
  • Zeke may or may not be infatuated with Cindy of Daily panic.
