The Regulators were a faction that should have never existed, at least according to the Peacekeepers. A sect of the PKs that broke off when they found morals that no longer aligned with the safety of the original group. And thus, the Regulators came into existence. Fueled to start fresh and emerge after the war with less blood on their hands from the cold, calculating decisions the Peacekeepers made, the Regulators grew in numbers slowly.
Under Captain Marcus, the group eventually left the Peacekeepers behind altogether, trusting him to lead them to better survival than what the Peacekeepers had deemed was acceptable with their lack of rations and cruel measures if one could not make the group better as a whole.
It did not take long for Marcus to realize where his new group would fit best. Using their black and white sense of morals, the group quickly took on the roles of policing the land. As most of the group was former police and first responders, those that had it drilled into them that everyone deserves a fighting chance, they took their place in society respectfully and responsibly. All the while, attempting to remain as unbiased as possible to each of the other groups, even the Peacekeepers that they clashed with at the very beginning.
The Regulators, however, have their own slew of issues they have been working to overcome. While they excelled with brute strength, medical knowledge, and general safety, they were severely lacking when it came to maintaining their own resources. But, almost magically, they usually seem to have exactly what they need. The observation hasn't been missed by some of the Regulators, as whispers of potential bribes have spread like wildfire through the group. Especially after they watch as certain groups get more favourable outcomes.
Most of the higher ups, including Captain Marcus, work tirelessly to fight these rumours, assuring those brave enough to ask that donations are coming in along with contracted scavengers that are bunkered down with the other Regulators. Still, though, the seed of doubt is there. And some groups and more than happy to continue to water it.
The Regulators do attempt to stay as true to their mantra as possible. Fully believing that everyone deserves a fighting chance and equal footing, despite what they overall bring to a group. This allows them to maintain a very lawful neutral group as they try to do good by all people. But, of course, it will ruffle the feathers of others as squabbles are not always seen through the other's eyes.
The Regulators do have a small ranking system within their unit. Letting those with the most experience and knowledge rise up through the ranks. At the top sits Captain Marcus, keeping his eyes open and his head on a constant swivel. Beneath him are his most trusted, the three Marshals. They work with different divisions within the Regulators to keep things running smoothly. Tasked with Supplies, Medical, and Security. Each Marshal works with their own platoon made up of Sheriffs, Deputies, Patrol, and Technicians.
The Sheriffs hold the most responsibility in their squadron, taking on the jobs of ensuring that the team works well together and keeping infighting to a minimum. They make decisions and they success of their team falls squarely on their shoulders. There are multiple Sheriffs within each team, working as a council at times if things cannot be decided on independently.
Beneath the Sheriffs sit the Deputies. The Deputies have proven themselves in some form or fashion. Earning their stripes, so to speak, can often be found being directly responsible for small task forces of Patrol and Technicians in the field if an outing is needed. Most realize they hold a sense of false power at times, but its an honor all the same to not be Patrol anymore.
Next comes the Patrol. These are the fodder, entry-level ranks without any sort of technical or medical background. Everyone starts as Patrol and if they stay there or not, is up to them. The Technicians and the Patrol are on even footing. The difference between the two couldn't be more obvious, however. The Technicians have some sort of knowledge that is beneficial for the group. It could range from advanced medical to even some type of engineering knowledge. They are the ones that come in and aid when necessary, but lack any kind of brute strength that the Patrol would find useful.
