Jokes aside, I'm glad to know I have done a good job with that post.

Not necessary to add this to the lore, but just putting it here for reference:

Polaris | Beidou Qixing

Polaris

Also known by its Chinese name Běidǒu Qīxīng (北斗七星) or Hokuto Shichisei in Japan, Polaris is a secretive organization based in Asia, dating as far back as the Chinese Civil War period. Originated from Suilan, its influence has spread beyond China, with followers from all over Asia. The cult is headed by seven leaders, called Spirits: at the very top, Yin and Yang, followed by Wu Xing, or the Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth). While records about this shadowy group are scarce, there are numerous rumors about them, such as some of the top Chinese government officials may be descendants of the cult, suspected of performing 'rituals' or 'dark magic' (inhuman experiments) to create a powerful Metahuman army of their own, even having absolute control over the Asian underworld. They may also have some connections with the Founding Family...

Suilan (updated)

Suilan (隋岚)

If Shanghai and Xiamen are compared to New York City and Los Angeles respectively, then Suilan is like a bastard child of Sans Francisco. Originally a port city, it grew in size after the merger of nearby rural regions into bigger towns and relocation of the people in these areas into the city after the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s; rapid development has completely transformed Suilan into the second largest city in the Fujian Province after Xiamen, and it's also the largest Metahuman hotspot in China. Situated along the borders of Fujian to its north and Guangzhou to the south, and facing the sea to the east with the south of Taiwan just across the waters - the climate here has similar four-seasonal changes, but not cold enough to get any snow (on the other hand, typhoon is a common occurrence). Population primarily consists of Han Chinese - specifically Metahuman Chinese, making it the "Asian Black Fall". Besides the official common language Mandarin, Min (Hokkien) and Cantonese are the two most common dialects spoken here, then followed by Teochew and Hakka. Fujian was also the starting point of Cheng Ho's sea voyage across the world during the Ming Dynasty, hence the myth that most Asian Metahumans may be descendants of the Suilan people (this legend was never proven).

Suilan is no different from most metropolitan cities in the world: it's split into several districts, each with a specific purpose such as a business district, a shopping district, an industrial district, etc; the old port is even rebuilt into a seaside amusement park (the entrance fee is extremely pricey though). There's even a ferry service to go across the straits to Taiwan, a much cheaper alternative than flying by air. Most of its economic wealth comes from overseas investors (mainly the Southeast Asian countries) and from tourism - it's well-known for its exotic Southern Chinese cuisine, a harmonic combination of Fujian/Taiwan and Guangdong/Hong Kong style. (Prawn scallop dim sum in fried mee suah? Oh yes.) It's also a haven of top-quality Chinese tea such as oolong, pu'er, and many more, which are perfect to bring home as souvenirs.

It's where the headquarters of MAP is currently located, and also where the mysterious underground cult "Polaris" (北斗七星, Beidou Qixing) is originated from.

@tsukune You've somehow made a description of a bad city even worse.

Maybe I'll get a description of the Founding Family and the Intimidation Unit up soon.

[BlessedWrath]

NST is alive and well, just...preoccupied with IRL stuffs. I expect he will make a post soon.

His bitch ass better catch up or it'll be left behind.

But...but...what happened to No Ass Left Behind? >_>

In the case of Nosuchthing, he's an exception. :)

[BlessedWrath]

Ah, the seldom-used, but still legal Ass Exception Clause.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Alright, here's the new organization I made specifically for an event I plan on doing later.

| The Metahuman International Party (MIP) |

Translated as theMetamensch internationale Party in German, and Méta humain parti International in French. With the death of nearly a million people in the Verthaven Disaster, the opinion of Metahumans has reached an all-time low. With the rise of the Allegiance and similar organizations in other countries, and the sheer hatred against Metahumans, there was death and destruction everywhere. Until a woman known as Nina Amstrutz, a Swiss Politician had her Metahuman son murdered in cold blood, and decided that it was time for a change. She formed the Metahuman International Party, a group advocating for peace between Metahumans and Humans, through teaching, and impersonal connections. Through time, the group became big in Europe, and managed to spread globally (They have a huge following in North-America). The group is the first that criticizes bad treatment of Metahumans by the governments of the world, and also assists humans and Metahumans alike. Until the group has managed to gain a following of Metahumans and Humans alike with the same goal. The MIP is not particularly liked by the many Metahuman Regulation Agencies of the world because, despite the Geneva convention being against it, they criticize them for basically employing Metahuman soldiers as weapons.

Notable Members

• Nina Amstutz - The head of the party. Nina is a woman with German roots, and had blonde-hair and blue eyes. She's fairly short, and keeps her hair in a bobcut, keeping it short and proper at all times. Nina is a world renown face because she fights for the rights of Metahumans, and attempts to heal wounds despite being a baseline human being. She is very charismatic, and is able to sway people to the side of peace. While openly criticizing governments. She lives in Switzerland, but travels the world where her word is needed. Nina often visits North America, and Britain (Where she is the biggest advocate for change in the MISW).

@Mr Allen J

Sounds gay.

Actually I kinda like it. About time metas had someone on side who isn't semi psychotic

[BlessedWrath]

Well...I wouldn't exactly call Sam "psychotic", but...honestly...whomever represents the greatest probability of continued survival is going to end up being her employer. We can hope for somebody with morals, but...right now? Proooooobably going to be answering to the Black Hound.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@BlessedWrath Well, maybe working for an evil organization of gene-obsessed psychopaths won't be so bad! :D

[Estylwen]

... I'm really liking where these IC posts are going. Great writing, guys.

@Mr Allen J

We need more organisations like this, although I feel they may not have enough political power simply because they're fully supporting (icky) metas. The MIP probably have a huge target on their back, and I definitely see a conflict happening between pro-meta and anti-meta rights groups (on top of fighting terrorists?).

@Estylwen

Yes.

And that's not all. There's still a little bit more I want to do before the timeskip.

Speaking of which, the timeskip will be into next week - and night time at that. I realized that we were getting a little formulaic with the "timeskip to daytime, then night time it all goes tits up."

@Estylwen

That is the goal.

I do think we need more "good guy" organizations because every organization on the list is morally grey, or morally black (Even the Meta regulation corps are on shaky standing!).

[BlessedWrath]

I promise I am not ignoring you guys. I just started a new job and it is whooping...my ASS... I was on the clock for 11 hours yesterday, no break, and only got to eat after I got home. I'm hoping things will normalize soon, but I have no way of knowing what my schedule will be like until the management gets all the paperwork sorted.

I'll pop into the collab and see if anything has been written, but I can't promise anything in real-time until I get a day off.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I'm a little sick atm, and I can't really think straight, so I'm going to wait a little bit so I can get better before I start writing again.

Glad to hear about it. I'm not really pressuring you or anyone else to post atm, so focus on your job in the meantime.
