The Amalgam
Darth Phyre II
Name: House Io
OOC Heirarchy:
Maple Harte,
Percival Io
,
Mellifluous Magenta
(Equal Command)
IC Hierarchy:
The faction is controlled by Laertia Io , known as Darth Xiphos, with her top advisors being deadly Force Witches each one from a different, Heretical Cult of Sith, one focused on unnatural uses of the Light Side, and the Other, a vicious group of Dark Side butchers consuming and assimilating souls in the name of their dark goddess, seeking to integrate themselves into any society that would take them and allow them to always be allowed to provide offers of Dark Side wisdom and knowledge to the Populace. The Leaders of the Cults are Darth Themis leader of the Serpents of Ashla, and
The Amalgam
, the Leader of The Cult of The Brain Demon. Countess Arianna Belasko served as the Chief Financier and master of the Treasury. The Battalion is the Consort of Darth Xiphos, and a Brain Demon Cultist herself.
Direct Seconds in Command are all prototype HRD Assassin units, all in control of military, espionage, or legal duties, with full sentience, whom Xiphos treats as her Children, or Sisters if they are from different creators, and she their Mother, such as
Percival Io
,
Alessandra Io
,
Akemi Io
, Lyssa Io
Direct Third in Command after The Battalion is the former Jedi Shadow turned Bounty Hunter turned Assassin Maple Harte , slowly breaking down from a degenerative form of Schizophrenia, with those below that forming the governing body/military. The House Operates as a constantly armed populace, whose political candidates are nominated through sortition and then democratically elected to Tier 3 Citizenship by Tier 1 and 2 Citizens (The Military Citizenry of the Populace).
Those who join face stringent training and trials, but are guaranteed freedom of speech, Assembly, the right to bear arms, and the right to vote, with both Droid of sufficient sapience and Organics (many of whom are refugees from various wars between the major factions thirsting for revenge) being considered equal in in the eyes of the Law. Even the vicious, homicidal Brain Demon Cultists are considered equal in the eyes of the Law just as Light Sith are, and it is not uncommon to see all of these groups intermingling even on the street corner.
All Dark Side Users working for the House must have a License to use it in House Territory just like the Light Side and Nuetral/Other Users of the Force must, and to practice the Dark Side without consent on a Citizen is normally a Death Penalty grade offense unless it is literally the most extreme of circumstances.
The Armed Forces consist mainly of fully sapient war droids, whether Mechanical or Organic based, and the Infantry is the infamous Nuetralizer Droids, one liner spouting, pop song singing mechanical warriors.

Description: A Militarized Faction composed of Refugees from the Wars of the Major Factions, Heretical Sith Cultists, and Sentient Soldier Droids called Nuetralizers who all regard the head of the faction, a heretic Sith, as their Mother, each member is both citizen, soldier, and family member to each other, each with equal rights and each are expected to fight and work alongside any citizen as though they are blood relatives. They seek to spread their martial culture and have a vision of making as many Citizens and Population in the Galaxy as possible not only strong enough to resist the savage threats like the Bryn'adul and Maw, but to be able to resist the will of the Jedi Order and be free.
This is partly from getting their own vision but the rest is very rooted in blaming the Jedi Order as their Leader does for not doing enough to stop the Bryn'adul, instead focusing on the Sith Empire. The House wages both vicious public and shadow attacks with the Jedi, such as the various tortures administered to Jedi captured by the House, such as cutting them off from The Force. However, none of these lofty objectives can be achieved without a willingness to live with the consequences of moral compromise.
The Pitch: House Io has had an ongoing presence that is deeply interconnected to the lore of this site, having played major parts in the third Imperial Civil War, The Bryn'adul War, and major conflicts with the Brotherhood of the Maw.
We offer quite possibly one of the most unique takes on the use of Droids in any faction, and make them complex characters working with severely traumatized organics in morally gray to morally dark situations and settings caught between the machinations of two Heretical groups of Sith and any other Force Adepts looking to aid us.
All citizens are often living and working alongside dangerous humanoid abominations, Fanatical Warriors, and employing a Laissez faire approach to both technology and it's wider ramifications in a societal context. All citizens attempt to function together no matter how insanely, unevenly dangerous one individual may be compared to another, and see how that affects a functional society attempting to be a free one at the same time.
In House Io, we explore the idea and consequences of Good and Evil functioning together, both to achieve objectives and survive, as well as how easily one can slip between the two in the faction. It also presents as an interesting antagonist for the Jedi types of characters, as House Io only exists because of their decision to focus on defeating the Sith Empire in the Civil War, and for Jedi to face House Io is to face a threat that doesn't want them dead for the usual reasons they expect their enemies to have...at least, not TOO many of the usual reasons.
Our approach to the Map Game is to be an equal mix of brute force, subterfuge, and an unfettered use of literally every war tactic both legal and illegal to defeat and demoralize our enemies, exploring our conflicts and alliances with others through the use of character driven plots derived from our long lore, and tentative, risky deals with dangerous people, all to both prosecute our IC conflict with the Jedi and to grow and expand our faction. House Io would, for all these reasons, be an exceptionally interesting faction to fight or ally with on the Map, and our unhesitating employment of Light and Dark Sith working together in our RP's make us unique antagonists for any Force Using Group that relies solely on one side or the other, and also as an interesting Antagonist to Democracy factions for our faction employs a form of Democracy mixed with Oligarchy.
