The Anti-Hero Underground is a vast network of militant survivalists who live outside of society in small sustainable communities, preparing for the collapse of modern day civilization. Originating during the 1960's, alongside the Back-To-The-Land Movement, The Anti-Hero Underground is based out of North America's Pacific Northwest, the earliest recorded settlement places the movement somewhere in the heavily forested Olympic Peninsula, near the Elwha River basin. The first Anti-Heroes originated during the modern industrial climb, at the onset of the Vietnam War. They saw the rise of the cities, overpopulated and polluted. They watched, as the imported resources grew more and more scarce. The Anti-Heroes sought to regain the basic fundamentals of life, but the movement was also fueled by the "negatives" of modernity: rampant consumerism, the failings of government and society, including the Vietnam War, and a perceived general urban deterioration, including a growing public concern about air and water pollution. They rejected the monotony of the corporate lifestyle and alongside the desire to reconnect with nature came the desire to reconnect with physical work.
Determined, resourceful, and firm-willed, the original group lived in union with the land, carving a niche for themselves amidst what was left of the great trees in Washington State. After several years of isolated and sustainable living, government agents came upon the community during an experimental training exercise. In the brief skirmish that followed, several of the Anti-Heroes were killed. The remaining survivors fled deeper into the woods, evading capture. Presumed wounded, dead or dying, the survivors of the Elwha River skirmish were discarded, minimally cited in the government database as ‘derelict humanoids' occupying a ‘rogue settlement'. Although the government viewed the skirmish as an isolated incident of little or no significance, it was in fact the turning point for the Anti-Hero Movement, at which, the survivors of the Elwha River Skirmish became more organized and militant; shifting their focus from that of isolation to confrontation with the forces that oppressed them. The Anti-Hero Underground was formed.
