Okay ladies and gentlemen, here is the basic information on Freedom, Alabama. Like I said, what I have here is the basis of things. If anyone feels anything should be changed, improved or would like to add a few things, let's talk about it here. So, here it is. The town of Freedom, Alabama. I also know a couple of the others from the RP on the official forum added some additional stores, but I can't remember if they had names for them (Taffer included a ATV dealer/rental store, Belle included a seamstress in one of her posts. So, if you guys want to include those, just reply with your description of the location). This is basically a resource in case anyone wants to include this for their RP or any fan fiction. This is mainly copied from the original OOC discussion topic from the forum, and I plan on revising it to include some more details which includes any additions and changes made during the RP thread over on that forum (I've even thought about making a map image so that people get an idea on what is where).
History and Description of the Town:
Most of the city of Pensacola was hit hard during the Pale Wars, the West Side and entire South Side was completely destroyed. When the terraforming began, most of those areas became wooded/wilderness areas, and a small canyon dubbed “Lar’s Abyss” by the locals (south east, a mile below Highway 90, near where Pensacola International Airport used to be), and the Bay areas (including Pensacola Bay, Escambia Bay and Macky Bay) no longer exist. The North side has some minor terraformed areas that covers 15 square miles, with everything further past 15 miles being untouched by the terraforming until the end of the north Alabama state line. The only part of the old town that remains is the Northeast area of the town, everything north of Highway 90 and ending as far as Pensacola Boulevard west wise, the buildings that had been destroyed having been completely cleared and new buildings constructed. Much like Defiance, most of the town has buildings are recent constructions from recovered storage containers from the old world with some that survived both the war and the terraforming. Unlike Defiance, the west side of town is mainly occupied by members of the Votan races, while the east side is normally occupied by humans. Both sides work with each other and in some cases live and do business with each other (sharing Greenbrier Blvd) with rarely any issues, but mainly stick to their sides of town. But the town is far from being a melting pot like Defiance. E-Rep presence was somewhat large. Due to the terraforming attack on New York, the E-Rep presence isn't as prominent, with a bulk of those from New York returning to see if they could help in rescue efforts or to find the people they care about. A majority of the E-Rep that remained, either due to being dedicated or were from the town, reformed what was left of the group and became a small army to defend the town. Due to what resources were left, they are only called upon when the situation calls for it and have become lax in their typical procedures, some abandoning their uniform for much more comfortable outfits.
Notable Spots in Town:
Greenbrier Blvd: Greenbrier Blvd serves as the town main market area. Everything from ammo, weapons, shields, vehicles and more all available on “the Boulevard.”
Just off the Boulevard:
- The Watering Hole: the town’s saloon and gambling place. On display is the last known, functional “Galaga” arcade machine in the world (which was recovered by the Cowboys in Chase Lonehart’s first Historical Salvage). Owned and ran by Sarah Mendez.
- Tech Shop: Electronic shop where you can get electronic device, old or new, refurbished or repaired, or if you’re looking to buy something electronic, this store is the place for you. Owned by Michael Breaker. Also the workplace for Iri Sewuel.
- Med Clinic: a functional medical clinic, includes the most recent medical technology that both human and Votan could ever have. Ran by Doctor Jackson Peters.
- Delilah Sisters’ Hotel and Brothel: Family own and ran, started off for a while as a regular hotel until the sisters decided to expand the dinner menu to include those who prefer the taste of skin (in a non-cannibalistic, yet sinful kind of way), as long as there’s no one hurt, anything goes (except for pedophilia. The sisters do not agree with that, and certainly won't tolerate it). Be mindful though, the hotel does occasionally get picked by the nearby Baptist Church, mainly comprised of the older generation who were alive when the Votans came to Earth. Own and ran by Samantha Delilah and Jolene Delilah.
- Cooper’s Cafe: Home of the best cup of coffee on this side of the Storm Divide. Open every day, 8 am to 9 pm. Sets up outside during Defiance Day.
- Freedom Public Library: Library storing many vintage books and magazines, DVDs, CDs and other historical documents from important to mundane. All materials can be readily checked out. Every Saturday and Sunday, hosts classic film and TV show viewings. Ran by former actor Robert D. Jurasik.
- Lawkeeper Office: At the end of the Boulevard at the divide from the East and West side of town. Ran by Lawkeeper Marshal Weeks and his three deputies, Drew Ferry (human female), Thomas Fleetwind (Irathient male) and John Wilson (human male).
- The Church: mainly used by the Baptists, but open for other old-world religions and off-world religions to be used throughout the week. Ran by Reverend Jewel Lee.
- The Pin with Sword: You looking for a new outfit? How about repairs to your armor? Or do you need a custom garment? The Pin with Sword's Seamstress may be a bit old, but she's able to work wonders with fabrics of all types, and can even get the dings and dents out of that helmet you damaged on your last battle. Located on the same side of the road as the Public Library and The Watering Hole.
- Henry's Old Books: Do you have an appreciation of classic literature? This store is the place for you. Ran by Henry Pine-Coffin, you can purchase books for your private collection, ranging in a wide genres (yes, including erotica if you're wondering. And yes, he would put it in a solid colored bag for you, so that no one knows you're purchasing it). For serious bibliophiles only.
NOTE: There are also individual venders who have set up tables to sell various different items. If you feel the need to add a vender or even a store to have a certain item purchased, fell free to do so.
University of West Florida: The west side of the campus is now the town’s main “government” area, it once being a base of operations for EMC back during the Pale Wars. Pace Library was converted into the main office for the Earth Republic and several dorms used for the quarters for what remains of the soldiers, while the other areas of the campus that were used for training, vehicle storage and maintenance and research for the EMC are off-limits to E-Rep and civilians alike.
The Cowboys HQ: Located outside of the city limits on the North side of town, the Cowboys HQ is an old car dealership that’s been converted to be a garage, dispatch office, and recovered item cataloging and storage.
The Old Lonehart Homestead: a two-story colonial house that sits off of Waterford Drive, sitting right on the divide between the east and west side of town. Currently occupied by Max and Sylvia Murphy.
The Chase Lonehart Memorial Park: A park created by VBI at the request of Belle Starr, dedicated to Chase Lonehart before it turned out he wasn't as dead as previously thought. Located on East 10-Mile Road in between the Votan and Human sides of town, across the road from the turn-off onto Waterford Drive. Unbeknown to the townsfolk, a VBI Security Analysis base is located underneath the park, which is used as cover (also at Belle's request).
Votan Half of Town:
- Ashton Brosnaham Park: Normally, you don't see many people, human or Votan, there from Tuesday to Sunday, which you can roam around by yourself during the day or night. But on Monday, after the night falls, you'll be able to see, or even participate in bareknuckle fighting in caged matches. Betting is allowed, but the brawls are all meant for fun and a means of relieving any kind of harbored aggression between the two individuals in the fight or for venting out stress.
- Vehicle Rental Shop: You need a roller? How about an ATV? Or how about a classic car to roll around in style? Located at the old Triple Play Indoor Family Center near Ashton Brosnaham Park. If you're looking to buy any of the older stock ATVs, you can get them on the cheap.
- Weapons Vender: Formerly R. C. Lipscomb Elementary School and also located near Ashton Brosnaham Park, this Votan ran store is where you can get new weapons and mods, as well as upgrades to your weapon, as well as customized ammo. If you need a weapon to whoop some hardcore ass, this is the place where you can get it or get it made.
- Escambia Westgate Center: Often used by the Votans as a place for meetings, where the individual species of the Votanis congregate for issues that arise within the Votan community that they feel they should keep humans out of. If you're looking for any leaders of the Votan community, there is where you'll likely find them.
Citizens of Freedom (NOTE: Any of suggestions for character models are welcomed, or if anyone feels that the ones listed seem a little flat and could be better, feel free to contribute. I’ve left the alien characters opened, as I am not sure who to cast for the roles, let alone how they would look as the aliens. But I will take suggestions):
The Townfolk:
Sarah Mendez (modeled after Katee Sachkoff): Owner of the Watering Hole. She can be tough as nails, capable of curb stomping even the strongest fighter if you screw around in her bar one moment and be nice and kindhearted when you’re nice and kind to her the next. Moved to town from New York two years before Chase left the town.
Michael Breaker (modeled after Billy Campbell): Owner the Tech Shop, which he opened and maintained. Still owns and works at the Tech Shop, but doesn’t handle all of the duties by himself like he used to. Often butts heads with Mayor Langdon Skinner over policies that tend to affect the town, but does it to keep Skinner honest. Grew up in town back when it was Pensacola.
Lawkeeper Marshall Weeks (modeled after Kurt Russell): Used to be a deputy in the town back when it was Pensacola, Florida, well before the Votans showed up. Has dealt with his fair share of conflicts in the town. A little grumpy, but gets the job done despite his griping.
Deputy Drew Ferry (modeled after Kerry Washington): She may be a girl, but she’s a bit of a determinator who you can’t count out in a fight. She’s the best sniper the Lawkeeper has, having grown up in town. Currently has a relationship with Odysseus.
Deputy Thomas Fleetwind: An Irathient male that was raised by a Native American couple after his parents died. Excellent at tracking, just as spiritual as any of his kind though keeping in the ways of the Lawkeeper.
Deputy John Wilson (modeled after Aaron Paul): An on/off alcoholic who sometimes slips in a majorly epic way. May not be able to see straight half of the time, but he uses a shotgun so he doesn’t need to be as accurate with a gun. His father was a deputy who worked with Lawkeeper Weeks, was killed in a raider assault.
Samantha Delilah (modeled after Lynn Collins): Older sister of Jolene, co-owner of the hotel and brothel, serving as manager and madam. She primarily handles the guests checking in/out, as well as making sure that families who are checked in are in their area while individual adults are checked into the adult area of the hotel, so to insure a family didn’t end up in awkward situations. Rarely participates in activities, but doesn’t mind having a good time if requested. Her approach to activities is more intimate than most.
Jolene Delilah (modeled after Olivia Wilde): Younger sister to Samantha, co-owner of the hotel and brothel, serving as manager and madam. Handles the “dinner menu” portion of the adult rooms, arranging what customers wants, be it the typical one-on-one, or “floor shows” involving their talent (including clients who prefer to watch two of them together or a live performance of Suckling with a Skitterling). She often participates with the clientele, should they ask her. Unlike her sister, more open to most things.
Robert D. Jurasik (modeled after Bruce Boxlietner): Former TV actor of the classic TV hit show “Brower’s Hill”, a dramatic TV show about a murder in a small town and the people it affects along the way. He currently runs the Freedom Public Library. Enjoys having people in the library, chatting up with the townsfolk and even recommended books, music or movies/TV shows. For the weekend movie show, he puts on a dramatic persona he calls “Mister Looker” (a slapstick character in the same vein as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin).
Reverend Jewel Lee (modeled after Paz Vega): Born again Baptist, formerly a druggie who used Andreno like it was going out of style. Has a small congregation composed mainly of those who used to live in the town when it was Pensacola. Often leads pickets against the Delilah Sisters’ hotel, despite that it does nothing. Secretly has a relationship with Jolene Delilah, despite knowing that she often participates with the clientele.
Iri Sewuel: Indogene female. Former member of the Biodyne project, assistant to Lev, Doc Yewll’s lover. Extensive knowledge on biomechanics. Was rescued by Chase’s father who was killed in the process. Had sexual relations with Chase during their trip to the University of Alabama, where she worked for two years before coming back to Freedom. Works at the Tech Shop under Michael Breaker, really proficient in technology both Votan and Earth-based. Name pronounced as “Airy Say-wel.” (NOTE: She is currently with Chase out of town)
Doctor Jackson Peters (modeled after Christopher Eccleston): The town's Doctor, proficient in human and Votan medicine. Was a field medical officer during the Pale Wars, treating both humans and Votan prisoners alike. More often crabby than anything else, really hates hypochondriacs and often pulls mean pranks on them just to get them out of the clinic.
Henry Pine-Coffin (modelled after Michael Caine): Formerly of United Kingdom, this antiquarian moved into town a few years ago. Owns and runs Henry's Old Books with the intention of catering to the true bibliophiles in town. Has grey hair, often seen with reading glasses, tweed jacket and has strange smell around him. Often clashes with Robert D. Jurasik due to Henry's opinion on how the Public Library should be ran (especially by not allowing anyone in town to rent out materials).
The Cowboys:
Max “Boss” Murphy (modeled after Christopher Meloni): Originally second in command of the Cowboys under Chase’s father. Former EMC soldier. Took over the main boss job after Jebediah Lonehart’s death and Chase’s departure from town. Resides in the old Lonehart Homestead with his wife Sylvia, who works dispatch from the Cowboys HQ.
Sylvia Murphy (modeled after Maria Bello): works dispatch at the Cowboys HQ, handles radio communications and inventory checks. Married to Max “Boss” Murphy for over 12 years, both marrying young. Quite a spitfire when she needs to be.
"Baby" Belle Murphy: The adopted infant of Max and Sylvia Murphy. Rescued by Belle Starr from an underground base experimenting in hybrids, and was named after her. Has become a bit of a mascot for the Cowboys, who have already stood their ground to protect her from someone looking to take her. Belle Starr is also her godmother.
Marcus Blink (modeled after Chiwetel Ejiofor): Originally a gunner of the group, but became second in command to Max Murphy. Serves as the group’s historical expert, able to identify pre-war items, down to the year of their manufacturing. Also serves as geologist for the group, able to determine areas best for locating potential Historical Salvage.
Janet Brads (modeled after Morena Baccarin): A gunner for the group, but also assists Marcus in his job as geologist. Also serves as a “mouse,” someone who is able to fit into small areas with ease. Has been in a relationship with Marcus about a year after Chase left the town.
Odysseus (aka Odie): a Bioman, ID number 2633269 on his chest. Chase’s best friend since childhood after his father brought him in from the cold one winter’s night. He is the major muscle of the Cowboys when he’s needed. Has learned to read since Chase left, his latest book being In the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft. He's really kind, but can be bad-ass when he's provoked. In a relationship with Deputy Drew Ferry.
Laquire Blinn: Castithan male. Works with the Cowboys. Former soldier from the Pale Wars, expert at weapons handling and explosives. Basically, he’s the one who makes sure that all weapons are functioning perfectly and is the one who makes sure holes can be made to get the group into the underground. Thoroughly enjoys blowing things up, which has led him to be jailed multiple times by Lawkeeper Weeks, primarily for disturbing the peace via explosives.
Jasine Woxx: Irathient female. Gunner for the group. Her and her husband both served with the Cowboys since the group was formed. Her husband, Phelur, was killed a few months back. Left to raise their child, Minnex, and continues to work as a member of the Cowboys. So tough as nails, if you were to look up the word “hard” in the dictionary, her picture would surely be there.
Local Human Government:
Mayor Langdon Skinner (modeled after Kyle MacLachlan): Born and raised in Freedom back when it was Pensacola. Handles many of the town’s political, social and state of emergency issues. Frequents the Delilah Sisters’ hotel for a night. Is an active representative of the E-Rep, despite that now what he handles is E-Rep in name only, and is struggling to keep it together.
Commander Rebecca Cinader (modeled after Naomie Harris): Another member of the E-Reps from the United Kingdom. Doesn’t take any sthacko from anyone, no matter who they are. People find it difficult to get along with her, because once she’s made up her mind about you, she wouldn’t change it even if you save her life three times in a row. She’s just as much a hard-driving personality as George S. Patton. She continues to wear her uniform and follow her duties, despite others becoming more lax in their duties and responsibilities.
Local Votan Government:
Hema Thula: Irathient female. Main representative for the Votans. Whenever there is any kind of interaction between the local human government and the Votan representatives, she is normally the one whom Mayor Skinner sees. Rather intelligent, and was formerly a part of the Pale Wars and was a part of the Battle of Defiance.
Mhea Bruli: Indogene female. Thula's second in command. She primarily handles logistics and planning for any related activities on the Votan side of town. A brilliant strategist whom Thula trusted during the Pale War, who had advised Thula to not side with the humans during the Battle of Defiance (which Bruli has long since became glad that Thula didn't listen to her, as it would have resulted in the demise of Thula and other members of the Battle).
So, like I said, all of this is open to interpretation and am willing to allow everyone to contribute to making the town a more in tune with what's presented in the show or make it more interesting for the RP should it ever come up here. If you have any characters you'd like to create for the story, no matter what race they are, feel free to do so. Also, if you like to add any additional places in town for your story, feel free to do so.

Sylvia Murphy (modeled after Maria Bello): works dispatch at the Cowboys HQ, handles radio communications and inventory checks. Married to Max “Boss” Murphy for over 12 years, both marrying young. Quite a spitfire when she needs to be.
"Baby" Belle Murphy: The adopted infant of Max and Sylvia Murphy. Rescued by Belle Starr from an underground base experimenting in hybrids, and was named after her. Has become a bit of a mascot for the Cowboys, who have already stood their ground to protect her from someone looking to take her. Belle Starr is also her godmother.
Marcus Blink (modeled after Chiwetel Ejiofor): Originally a gunner of the group, but became second in command to Max Murphy. Serves as the group’s historical expert, able to identify pre-war items, down to the year of their manufacturing. Also serves as geologist for the group, able to determine areas best for locating potential Historical Salvage.
Janet Brads (modeled after Morena Baccarin): A gunner for the group, but also assists Marcus in his job as geologist. Also serves as a “mouse,” someone who is able to fit into small areas with ease. Has been in a relationship with Marcus about a year after Chase left the town.
Odysseus (aka Odie): a Bioman, ID number 2633269 on his chest. Chase’s best friend since childhood after his father brought him in from the cold one winter’s night. He is the major muscle of the Cowboys when he’s needed. Has learned to read since Chase left, his latest book being In the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft. He's really kind, but can be bad-ass when he's provoked. In a relationship with Deputy Drew Ferry.
Laquire Blinn: Castithan male. Works with the Cowboys. Former soldier from the Pale Wars, expert at weapons handling and explosives. Basically, he’s the one who makes sure that all weapons are functioning perfectly and is the one who makes sure holes can be made to get the group into the underground. Thoroughly enjoys blowing things up, which has led him to be jailed multiple times by Lawkeeper Weeks, primarily for disturbing the peace via explosives.
Jasine Woxx: Irathient female. Gunner for the group. Her and her husband both served with the Cowboys since the group was formed. Her husband, Phelur, was killed a few months back. Left to raise their child, Minnex, and continues to work as a member of the Cowboys. So tough as nails, if you were to look up the word “hard” in the dictionary, her picture would surely be there.
Local Human Government:
Mayor Langdon Skinner (modeled after Kyle MacLachlan): Born and raised in Freedom back when it was Pensacola. Handles many of the town’s political, social and state of emergency issues. Frequents the Delilah Sisters’ hotel for a night. Is an active representative of the E-Rep, despite that now what he handles is E-Rep in name only, and is struggling to keep it together.
Commander Rebecca Cinader (modeled after Naomie Harris): Another member of the E-Reps from the United Kingdom. Doesn’t take any sthacko from anyone, no matter who they are. People find it difficult to get along with her, because once she’s made up her mind about you, she wouldn’t change it even if you save her life three times in a row. She’s just as much a hard-driving personality as George S. Patton. She continues to wear her uniform and follow her duties, despite others becoming more lax in their duties and responsibilities.
Local Votan Government:
Hema Thula: Irathient female. Main representative for the Votans. Whenever there is any kind of interaction between the local human government and the Votan representatives, she is normally the one whom Mayor Skinner sees. Rather intelligent, and was formerly a part of the Pale Wars and was a part of the Battle of Defiance.
Mhea Bruli: Indogene female. Thula's second in command. She primarily handles logistics and planning for any related activities on the Votan side of town. A brilliant strategist whom Thula trusted during the Pale War, who had advised Thula to not side with the humans during the Battle of Defiance (which Bruli has long since became glad that Thula didn't listen to her, as it would have resulted in the demise of Thula and other members of the Battle).
So, like I said, all of this is open to interpretation and am willing to allow everyone to contribute to making the town a more in tune with what's presented in the show or make it more interesting for the RP should it ever come up here. If you have any characters you'd like to create for the story, no matter what race they are, feel free to do so. Also, if you like to add any additional places in town for your story, feel free to do so.
