Lizard Squad! (WIP)
Even if your fairly new to the StrangeReal scene, chances are you've at least heard about the shadowy East supple lundian intelligence group known as Lizard Squad! But who exactly are they, and what are their goals and objectives? Can they be stopped? Does anyone actually care? It is our goal to provide some information on the group and do away with any misconceptions the common folk may have.
Lizard Squad! is, of course, the intelligence agency responsible for the gathering of foreign intelligence. It is not the only intelligence agency in ESL but it is certainly the most well out of all of them. Lizard Squad! specializes in foreign espionage and cyber warfare, and is know to have a considerable reach within StrangeReal.
Originally founded in 1969 as part of the Supple Intelligence Service (SIS), Lizard Squad! would soon evolve into its own separate organization, as the original SIS was responsible for dealing with all of ESL's intelligence. Because of this, the SIS was unable to effectively cope with such a tremendous workload, and therefore it was decided to split the organization up into multiple agencies, each one tasked with a specific aspect of intelligence work.
How the name Lizard Squad! can to be is unknown, although some believe the name was chosen to throw off potential rival groups, as such a name seems silly to most. Thus, the rival intelligence groups would not take Lizard Sqaud! seriously. Of course, today Lizard Squad! is regarded as a serious threat by most, rendering such a strategy obsolete.
Today, it is believed that Lizard Squad! employs around 40,000 employees, although exact numbers remain classified. While the organization is officially headquartered in Rack City, many believe it is just a front designed to throw off adversaries. Rumor has it that the organizations real headquarters are somewhere on the island of Havergonia, although this has yet to be proven true.
The "official" headquarters of Lizard Squad!, located in uptown Rack City. It's prominent style and location makes its a target for attack, leading many to believe this is merely a front, designed to distract the world from its "true" headquarters.
Lizard Sqaud! agents, as they are known, are often recruited from a wide range of backgrounds. Before they are accepted, they have extensive background checks run on them, as well as a variety of physical and psychological tests. Agents specialize in many areas, but are best know for their hacking prowess and sabotage skills. Agents are trained in many different ways, must learn multiple languages, and be equally skilled in hand to hand combat, firearms handling and electronic warfare. Agents are generally selected from ESL's home territory, but the agency often recruits abroad in its other territories, and has been known to hire citizens of other countries quite frequently. Officially, Lizard Squad! claims that it refuses to hire West supple lundians, but it is unknown if this is actually true.

It is unknown just how large the budget of Lizard Squad! is, but it is believed to be quite substantial. Experts believe that many ESL government assets are actually fronts used to fund Lizard Squad! Considering that ESL is among one of the world's top buyers of foreign assets, it is reasonable to believe that Lizard Squad! has significant funds to accomplish its missions.
Some of the equipment developed by Lizard Squad! is:
This is quite possibly the most silent pistol you will ever hear. Or maybe not, cause its so darn quite. It's highly popular with special forces and Lizard Squad! agents. Fun fact: this weapon was originally marketed to veterinarians. If that ain't dark, I dunno what is.
Integrally silenced, this rifle (or is it a carbine?) is perfect for all your clandestine based needs. Special forces and Lizard Squad! agents use this firearm extensively.
Used extensively by Lizard Squad! agents, this weapon is able to completely fold up, making it incredibly concealable. Seriously, go check it out, its super cool!

Overall, Lizard Squad! is well versed in what they do, and should not be taken lightly. They work day in and out to defend ESL from all manner of threats. They will do whatever it takes to ensure ESL can continue to proser and live in peace...
