User blog:BeastMan14/The Jericho Rangers vs The Woodbury Army



Tonight, Deadliest Fiction gives you a brutal clash of the post-apocalyptic militia as the Jericho Rangers, the militia formed by former army/mercenary soldier Jake Greene in the aftermath of a nuclear attack on the United States, takes on the Woodbury Army, a brutal militia formed and led by the Governor, a man as charismatic as he is ruthless! We will be comparing their weapons, their leaders, and their skills to answer the ultimate question! WHO...IS...DEADLIEST?

Jericho Rangers
"It's possible that even in the worst of times, we find the best in ourselves, and in others."

- Jake Green

Bio: The Jericho Rangers was a militia formed by Jake Green, an ex-military soldier, after a devastating nuclear attack on the United States (supposedly by North Korea and Iran) collapsed any resemblance of order. Deciding his hometown of Jericho needed a way to defend itself from outside threats, Jake began training people like his brother Eric, his friend Stanley, and numerous others on how to use firearms and various tactics. Under Jake's leadership, the Rangers were able to repel numerous threats, from escaped convicts, to desperate refugees disguised as military, to the evil and ruthless Ravenwood, a mercenary group that Jake is revealed to have worked for and partaken in African genocide with in the past.

The Rangers training was ultimately put to the test when after trying to find medicine for their father, Johnston Green, who was also the Jericho's mayor, and munitions for the Rangers, Jake and Eric were captured by sheriff Phil Constantino, who had become the iron fisted leader of the nearby town Newburn, and he violently tortured them for information and supplies. Narrowly managing to escape, Jake and Eric revealed Constantino's atrocities and prepared the Rangers (and the town of Jericho as a whole) for war. When Newburn finally attacked, casualties were high, including Johnston, who sacrificed himself to fire tank shells from an old tank (taken from the refugees) on Newburn's position. As the battle raged on further, the fighting was eventually broken up by the military of the Allied States of America, the new government, who firebombed Newburn's side and captured Constantino. The leader of the troops, Major Beck, appoints Jake sheriff, and the other members of the Rangers his deputies.

Woodbury Army
"Wake up. The only way we can defend ourselves is with an army."

- Caesar Martinez

Bio: The Woodbury Army was formed sometime after the undead apocalypse that changed the way of the world forever. Created by Phillip Blake, known by his men as the Governor, the army's job was to defend the town of Woodbury from outside threats, mainly walkers, and keep it supplied, mainly through the Governor's secret attacks on survivors for their supplies. Eventually, the Governor's zombified daughter, Penny, who he had been keeping chained in his apartment in a desperate attempt to keep her safe until he could cure her, was killed by an escaped prisoner and member of Rick Grimes Group called Michonne, driving the Governor over the edge and making him vengeful against Grimes group. Pretending that they had committed numerous atrocities against the people of Woodbury, the Governor rallied the people of Woodbury for a massive attack on the prison where Rick's group was located. Despite the Governor's best efforts, the attack failed miserably due to the poor condition of the army and Rick's superior leadership and tactics. Enraged, the Governor slaughtered the army, and left the rest of Woodbury to its fate, alongside his second-in-commands Martinez and Shupert, and the remaining members of Woodbury were forced to join up with Rick's group for survival.

Jericho Rangers
Jake Green = "One day, I know you're gonna become the man I know you can be. The man you were born to be. By God, that day's gonna be something to see."

- Johnston Green

The oldest son of the Green family, Jake was a member of a group of die-hard survivalists, and was caught up in a botched robbery where Chris Sullivan, the brother of Jake's girlfriend Emily, was killed, and Jake fled town. After five years, Jake returned to pay his respects to his dead grandfather and claim his inheritance. Angered with Jake, his father and the town's mayor, Johnston Green, refused to hand over the money, and Jake was leaving town when the nuclear attacks occurred. Jake used his shadowy past experiences to help Jericho through the tough times and initial anarchy, albeit reluctantly at first. Despite this, Jake slowly became a highly respected member of the Jericho community, leading the defenses against the mercenaries of Ravenwood, who revealed that Jake was a former member of the group, having quit after his squad slaughtered an entire village in the Middle East. During the conflict with New Bern, Johnston was shot by a sniper and slowly bled to death, but not before he could tell Jake how proud he was of him. Enraged, Jake refused to surrender to New Bern, and was prepared to fight to the death when the Allied States of America, the new government, intervened, decimating New Bern's side, restoring order, and appointing Jake sheriff of Jericho.

Realizing that the new government isn't as peaceful as it seems, Jake teamed up with Robert Hawkins, an undercover government agent, to reveal the truth of the nuclear attacks to the government of Texas, whose support was vital to either the remnants of the United States, and the slowly strengthening Allied States. Working their way to Texas with the only undetonated bomb, Hawkins and Jake fight their way through a group of Allied States troops, with one badly injuring Hawkins before the Texas government arrives, driving off the Allied troops, and uncovering the evidence that the Allied States leaders are behind the attacks. As he's loaded onto an ambulance, Hawkins asks Jake how it feels to make history. "We're not talking about a revolution. This is a problem, so let's get out and solve it."
 * -| Eric Green =

- Eric Green



Jake's younger brother, Eric had a far better relationship with Johnston, and angrily confronted Jake when he returned after five years. However, Eric is revealed to not be so perfect himself, having cheated on his pregnant wife April with the bartender of the town's bar, Mary, and eventually admits that he isn't in love with April. Due to unforeseen complications, April and her baby die in childbirth, and a devastated Eric leaves for New Bern to help design energy windmills, only to end up being captured and tortured for information by the town's sadistic and ruthless sheriff, Phil Constantino. After being saved by Jake, Eric became Jake's second-in-command of the Jericho Rangers, and was present on the front lines of the final battle against New Bern. After the ASA defeated New Bern, Eric became the city's deputy mayor, using his legal degree for a good purpose, and eventually leading the Rangers as a resistance force against the ASA.

"I can't believe it's come to this."

- Stanley Richmond



Woodbury Army
The Governor = "In this life now you kill or you die. Or you die and you kill."

- The Governor



His real name Phillip Blake, the Governor was a kind family man before the zombie apocalypse broke out, and his daughter was infected. Convinced that he could cure her, the Governor kept his daughter chained in a secret room inside the town of Woodbury. Her "death" at the hands of escaped prisoner Michonne drove him over the edge, and he rallied the people of Woodbury, convincing them that the survivors who were captured and escaped from Woodbury were cruel and vicious at an attempt to kill Michonne and avenge his daughters death. Despite his leadership, the Woodbury Army failed miserably in their assault thanks to Rick Grimes tactics, and an enraged Governor slaughtered the army, gunning them down before leaving with his subordinates Martinez and Shupert.

After being abandoned by the two, the Governor became a wanderer, eventually finding a small group of survivors living in abandoned apartment building, becoming lovers with a woman named Lily Chambler, friends with her sister Tara, and a father figure to her daughter Meghan. After the group abandoned the apartment complex, the Governor accidentally discovered a new group of survivors led by Martinez, who reveals that he personally killed the infected Shupert after they abandoned the Governor. After re-earning his trust and the trust of the group, the Governor kills Martinez by hitting him over the head with a golf club, then feeding him to a pit of walkers, then in turn kills his second-in-command, Pete, by stabbing him in the spine and strangling him in his RV, then convinces Pete's brother Mitch to join him in leading an assault on the prison, claiming that its safer for the group as a whole.

Ambushing and capturing two of the groups members, Michonne, the woman who killed his daughter, and Hershel, the group's doctor, the Governor led the militia to the prison, demanding that Rick and his group leave. Rick, desperate to keep his group safe, attempted to broker a deal with the Governor, trying to convince him that they could share the prison. The Governor angrily calls Rick a liar and kills Hershel, causing a massive firefight that destroys most of the prison and lures in dozens of walkers. During the chaos, the Governor attacks Rick, savagely beating him and nearly strangling him, only to be stabbed in the back and left for dead by Michonne. Dying, the Governor is killed by Lily, who realizes what a monster he truly was after he mercy kills her infected daughter. "There are just some things you can't come back from. They become a part of who you are... either you live with them or you don't."
 * -| Ceasar Martinez =

- Ceasar Martinez



The Governor's trusted second-in-command, Martinez has a deep hatred of walkers after they killed his wife and child. Unflinching in following the Governor's orders, he is one of the two survivors, alongside Shumpert, of the Governor's massacre of the Woodbury Army. After the duo abandoned the Governor, Shumpert developed a death wish, and eventually had to be put down by Martinez after being bitten by a walker. Martinez and the Governor would meet again when the Governor, alongside Lily, Tara, and Meghan Chambler, stumbled into his new groups camp while on the run from walkers. Martinez slowly grows to trust the Governor again, and admitted to him that he felt overwhelmed by leadership, and asked the Governor if he wanted to share being in charge. Enraged and disgusted with Martinez supposed weakness, the Governor savagely beat him with a golf club, then dragged him into a pit of walkers, killing him and seizing control of the group. "My brother, he wants to be in the prison. This little trip... Maybe it'll keep that place standing. If I pull it off, maybe all is forgiven. That's a whole lot of maybes... you got to play the hand you're dealt. I only got one."
 * -| Merle Dixon =

- Merle Dixon, to Michonne



Formerly a member of Rick Grimes group, Merle Dixon is the brother of Daryl Dixon, and extremely racist and hostile. After he savagely beat fellow survivor T-Dog, Rick handcuffed him to a pipe, and was forced to leave him there after T-Dog lost the key. Out of options, Merle cut off his hand, and escaped sometime before Rick and Daryl went back to try to find him.

Rick's group would later encounter Merle, now armed with a hook hand, in the town of Woodbury as the right-hand man of the Governor. The Governor sends Merle to kill Michonne after Michonne kills the Governor's infected daughter and cuts out his eye, only for Merle to fail and lie about it. Deeming Merle a traitor, the Governor rallies Woodbury against Merle, and forces him to fight Daryl to the death in the arena, with the two only managing to escape because of a surprise attack on Woodbury by Rick's group. Later, the Governor offers a truce if Michonne is given to him, with Rick deciding to agree. Despite informing Merle of the plan, Rick fails to tell Merle as such when he changes his mind, and Merle captures Michonne, taking her off to the meeting point. Realizing the error of his actions, Merle sends Michonne back, then launches a surprise attack on the Governor and his men, slaughtering his men. A stray walker surprises Merle, and killing it alerts the Governor and Martinez to his position, with the two savagely beating and killing him. Daryl later finds Merle, now resurrected as a walker, and tearfully puts him down.
