Roll Call

[Placeholder 01]

The faction is going to be undergoing some changes to help bring in some activity. Most of it is IC, some of it is OOC.

We want to know who is around (who actually give a damn about things) so we can make estimations and better include whoever is left in our brainstorming.

If you're around, or intend to be around and active within the faction, please post here.

 

[Laman Ress]

Im in.

 

[Darth Eversor]

The Butcher reporting in. I can deal in intelligence and act as a judge in judicial court. Should any of the Legion get out of line, I can be the vice that holds them in place.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Sure

Yo.

Alright, good to hear from you all!

Lucien and I have spoken extensively about the state of the faction. There's been a lot of hard work put into it, and I don't think anyone wants it to go to waste. We've discussed ways to bring in activity and breathe some new life into the faction.

In that vein of thought, we've bumped up a new dominion on Dressel where the legion (warriors from Zenith Prime) and members of the Techno Union's military are investigating possible corruption within the Ruling Council. In the aftermath, a team of unsanctioned soldiers from the Techno Union recruited by Delam are raiding the former Primeval world of Bastion for rare materials. The materials will be relevant to the plot later on (and you can build yourself something nice out of the phrik.)

This storyline will change the Techno Union as a whole to bring in further activity, but that change will be affected heavily by the characters involved. All threads are open and all characters are relevant.

Give it a go.

Maybe someone on the LFG forum written out to make these threads approachable?

 

[Seto Du Couteau]

The war drums are pounding in the distant are they now?

Heavy military boots shaking the very earth we walk?

Aight.

I see there are investigations, but how does this allow other TU members to join who are not investigating?

I get the storyline I think, but it doesn't seem very inclusive beyond a small group.

How does one become involved then?

 

[Werah Unon]

Well, from the look of things, civil war doesn't seem to unlikely...

 

[Alisha'ven]

Maybe. I'm still trying to grasp what is going on.

We have merchants here as well as others who are not part of the order nor the executive council or the dreadguard.

Yes we have Doms, but that isn't integral to whatever is supposed to be happening PVE faction story wise.

 

[Werah Unon]

Well, can't say I know for sure either. My character's off building stuff on Lirra...

[member="Alisha'ven"], [member="Werah Unon"]

I wouldn't say all out civil war.

The storyline is not meant to be inclusive, and the doms were simply setting things up. Techno Union military forces, alongside members of the Obsidian Order, have been, investigating corruption within the bureacrachy, and they aren't being subtle about it.

Characters that have their hands in that pot might be trying to tie up loose ends. Other characters will likely notice things changing - people of rank closing themselves off, NPC merchants building up their own private armies, the little people starting to get a bit more vocal about their issues with the rich upper class, etc.

To summarize things: people in charge do bad things, people not in charge notice bad things, some of the people not in charge have decided to fix it and the upper crust is getting defensive.

This is not meant to throw any wrenches in any PC characters. Unless cleared, the characters in question are NPCs and serve as a story crux to bring us more activity.

So then there is nothing faction rp wise that those are not involved DMing this overarching plot can jump into?

Because that just seems a bit counterproductive to trying to bring life back into this faction if only a few select people can be involved in it.

I can continue doing my own merchant ATC stuff and do Doms just fine -- but it gives me nor any others any incentive to be involved in the faction plots or faction threads at all.

And that's going to alienate any TU members here you have left who want to rp in faction threads, but are not at all part of whatever dungeon mastering PVE plot you have with a determined outcome
