Basic Lore

The Lore is the story and plot of Surviv.io. The full story isn't known as of yet, but many people have come together, in the form of Bunker 18, this Wiki, and other areas, to find out the Lore. For those who don't know very much of it, here's the basics:

Who's in the Lore?
In the Lore, there are many different characters and organizations. Here are the most prominent ones:


 * PARMA Initiative: They would be considered the main characters in this story.  They are a group of scientists who seemingly want to enhance the metabolic functions of people with poultry.  However, their secret goal is actually to create a battle royale.  They are the Blue Side in the Incursion, or 50v50, and control most of the Bunkers.
 * Soviet Union: They are the remnants of the fallen Soviet Union.  In the Lore, it shows that they helped PARMA with some of their experiments, and that the Soviets are the Red Side during the Incursion, or 50v50.
 * Nevelskoy Group: Nevelskoy Group is an investment and capital group run by Mikhail Nevelskoy, a wealthy arms dealer, who lives in The Mansion and owns The Club.  Mikhail's son is Dmitri Nevelskoy, who lives in The Alternate Barn.  Nevelskoy Group funds PARMA Initiative.
 * Kuga Heavy Industries: KHI is a construction and engineering company run by Kuga.  They created the the front room of Chrysanthemum Bunker for PARMA, but created secret rooms in the back.

All of these groups contribute to the Lore of the Island in some way. There are more parties, but these four are the main ones.

Where's the Lore?
Well, to be honest, we don't know. The Island has special powers, and we can't really pin down where it is. The Devs have already said that the environment of the Island doesn't have anything to do with where its located. However, we can pinpoint the locations on the Island where the Lore takes place. There are Bunkers, homes, bigger buildings, and even full towns! In the end, though, the true location of the Island is a complete and total mystery.

When's the Lore?
The Lore has a long timeline, but you could hypothetically split it up into these three events, which are the main ones:

Ryusei Sets Sail -- PARMA Initiative Created -- The Incursion

June 23rd, 1808                                                                                       1983                                                                                           Late March/Early April, 1993

This is obviously an oversimplification, but the full Timeline can be found elsewhere in the Wiki.
