Even in this dark age, religion still exists. Not just the white-washed corporate religions that have become just another tool of oppression. In dark corners, there are still those who follow the old ways. You saw the other juves head off towards their groups with their ideals, but none of them suited you. You needed something bigger than yourself to believe in. Eventually, you found it. Maybe you found a priest or rabbi willing to teach what they weren't supposed to know, or maybe it was a banned book on Buddhist philosophy. It gave you something to believe in. Something you needed. You became a Holy Roller.

What you look like
        Whenever possible, you attempt to emulate the old dress of your faith. This may mean a rosary, meditation robes, or a yarmulke. These items have tremedous personal value, so you take appropriate care of them. Most of you even handwash them.
        You realize that if you wore your religious wardrobe outside your safe houses that you would bring your friends and teachers at peril, therefore your normal outfits are very conservative. Like Rads and BeaverBrats, you try your best to blend in with the mainstream. Even though there is some risk involved, many of you continue to wear some small symbol of your faith. It may be a rosary under your shirt or a small star of David pin inside your jacket, but it's there to remind you what you're here for.

Subculture
       Simply put, you are believers in the religions that have had to go underground. You know the rest of the world has mostly forgotten these teachings, but you are determined to bring them back. The corporations don't like the idea of someone judging their actions without their ideas of justice and morality, so any religion not sanctioned (read: controlled) by the ISA is considered subversive and therefore illegal. Despite the very harsh punishments, you continue to follow your path; this alone made you criminals.
        Now, many of you are trying to bring the soul back into America. You use pamphlets, speeches, graffiti, even physical action in order to bring the light back into the world. This has made you targets. Being targets has made you very cautious. Risking your lives to spread the word is commonplace, but now you know you must be careful not to jeopardize the rest of your yogang. Any captured Holy Roller will claim to be an isolated individual who learned through books and pamphlets. There are two things you would never do, betray the ideals of your faith and betray the group that taught them to you.
        Usually the faiths maintain their distance from each other, but there are fairly regular meetings between the faiths to debate, argue, discuss, and plan. Occasionally there will be holy wars between groups, usually over converts, but that mostly you avoid those conflicts; you have bigger enemies than each other. In the end, all of you are trying for the same thing, so the battles with each other will wait until after the ISA has been defeated. Within the faiths, the members are usually organized around a teacher. The teacher usually is an adult who was a priest, rabbi, or other religious figure. You'll usually follow the teacher's example, except when it seems to break the rules of your faith. The only method to challenge someone's authority is to appeal using the religious works. Luckily, there are few challenges.
        It's a dangerous existence; the CorpSec's don't pull back because you believe, but if you're right, the benefits will be worth it. 

Belonging
       There is only one thing someone has to do to become a Holy Roller: believe. Chances are you'd been studying for a while before the others approached you. Even after being approached, it was months before they involved in anything truly important. You realized that this was not because they were cold or trying to scare you, but rather an attempt to keep the yogang safe. When the yogang truly inducted you, it was one of the most memorable moments in your life. The ceremony was private, but all the members of your sect were there to see you embraced as a full fledged member.
        Just as there is only one way to join, there is only one way to be removed: to turn away. To turn away doesn't mean to change faith; it means to turn away from faith altogether. If a Holy Roller seems to be straying, his friends will speak to him. His teacher, priest, or rabbi may talk to him as well. They will try to help them to see the way he is going. If he persists in his course, the yogang will drop him from their group. No one will tell him where the meetings are until he proves that he has regained his faith. Some of the more extreme or paranoid sections may use excommunication or execution to remove the offender. Luckily, the Holy Rollers don't have too many who stray.

Allies and Enemies
       Most Holy Rollers have no respect for the GoldenKids, BeaverBrats, MallBrats, or GlitterKids for being shallow and unenlightened. Also, many Holy Rollers hate the Goths for their disrespect towards objects of faith. Some even view them as unclean spirits. Also, they view the hedonism of Moshers, MegaViolents, and GoGangers as a path to avoid and correct. Therefore, they view these yogangs with pity, not hate. While you view the rest of the world as living in darkness, you do have a measure of respect for Rads, Guardians, and Vidiots as blind, but moral individuals. They have the utmost respect for EcoWarriors, Tribals, and StreetFighters, because, while the ideas are different, they are also working for something larger than themselves.

Slang
CL: Closed Lids, one who has not found religion
Judas: to betray a trust
Optic: one who sees clearly, a respected teacher
Re-inc: be right back
Shadowmakers: The corps
The Sight: To believe
Soul Sharks: government controlled churches

Yogang Skill: FAITH (Cool)
        Faith is that measure of self confidence and inner peace that religion has given these yogangers. The player can add faith to any Luck or Cool roll whenever the actions are according to the dictates of their religion. Protecting the innocent, for example, is usually a moral imperative, while theft isn't. Therefore, Gil, the Jewish Holy Roller, can use faith to stare down a Goth to prevent the death of a Squat, but cannot use his faith to walk nonchalantly out of the mall with stolen goods. 

If you're a Holy Roller,
1) Tell me your name, age, and sex.
2) Describe what you look like
3) Pick which religion you are (Christian, Buddhist, Judaism, Wiccan, Islam, ect.)
4) Besides your V-trodes, pick four things you are carrying.

• A book about your religion (Bible, I Ching)
• A pack of pamphlets about your religion
• Snoopbox
• $200 (an anonymous donation)
• A nylon carrying bag
• A floor length duster ( to wear over religious garb) (AR 4)
