Spiders
North Web has its share of soldiers, constantly trying to ensure the security of the hold from Bayside. This means that family structure is all kinds of messed up, with most people more attached to a squad than their family. Those who are most messed up in the family department, either being abandoned, lost, or maybe some older sibling killed their entire clan, but these people are the leftovers. They become the Spiders.
As far as child soldier programs go, this is pretty chill, even for the apocalypse. Most of this is derived from the fact that those in power here are just grown up child soldiers who now try to protect this new dysfunctional family of trained killers. The food is the best they can all scrounge up, the housing would be cramped if not for the lack of personal space the Spiders have become used to. It is a place to live, and for that, they are grateful.
As for military training, the Spiders are hardly classically trained, more just meant to use whatever they can to kill whoever they can. They design most of the weapons they use, save for any they find lying around. For all the hardships in the world, who would have guessed orphan child soldiers get to have families and a life?
The only issue is the missions. The Spiders are respected, but expendable, there is no lack of orphans coming in, even from parents who grew up as Spiders, only to go out in a blaze of glory. The most common foe they face are the Renies, Irene's army of possessed maniacs who control Irene's Decoy. They are the front line soldiers, even sent on missions over in the Decoy, taking little scrap rafts across the water to the other shore.
The last few Spider groups that were sent over had an even more ambitious mission, but those who go after Irene herself rarely make it out, let alone with their own mind.
Structure
Family structures of 8 members to a squad, all in a larger group.
Public Agenda
Defeat Irene and protect North Web
Assets
Assorted makeshift weapons and some guns and ammo. Food is mostly hunted day to day.
History
The organization began from the remains of an orphanage in the area, but after things went to shit, the kids there realized they would need to survive, so they banded together and created the Spiders. Those founders died a while ago, it is rare anyone in the Spiders lives to 30.
