It's starting from roughly the same time as the first iteration Siphy, sorry it's not made that clear. The OP is a dream had by one of my characters at the start of the roleplay. Good to pique peoples interest. May or may not happen.

NoSoul! Good to see you again :) I'm glad veterans have arrived because this is a big project and i could do with your insight. BESC (Babylon Executive Security Command) has replaced CSEC as the governing military body. What powers do you think they should have as opposed to centralized government? Are we having them as a kind of UNSC type dictatorship or an untrustworthy arm of the government or what? We didn't get their motives etc clear last time and it really bugged me.

Ahh, understood. Thanks for the clarification.

As for the BESC, I like the idea of a UNSC type dictatorship. A good intentioned move to create a better government that went bad.

Age, check. Height, check.

Temple Tower? = Challenged.
It's not suspicious if they give food and aid to the hungry and poor.
The perfect cover.

OH? Hostile takeover by the Knight's Holy Cross? Perfection.
Arthurs worship of death appeared first when he was on the brink of death itself during the ages where life extension was not a viable method, basically when it didn't exist.
He was blessed with a long life to begin with, he became 90~ years old and at the death bed he refused death, but respected it, he joined in a experimental life extension program, so he is technically living next to death at all times, he became devote in it, worshipped it like god because it is unavoidable, the perfect judge, jury and executioner, the only governing thing in this world which is just.

He saw his life extension like a blessing from death that he would serve death untill death take him. Therefor he became an Angel of Death, in his own eyes. The political goal of the Knight's Holy Cross is to inevitably kill everything, therefor bringing them to the holy land of the afterlife, obscure? Mad? Yes. However not for a Knight. They will litterally do anything to kill everyone and everything. For different reasons that is. But the intensions that Arthur has is to become like a god figure, an all powerful.

It went from the Central Government of Babylon creating strife and tyranny until the military did the Politics Dance and earned the votes for their candidates. After that happened, BESC tasted power and became disillusioned, becoming the ones to once again create strife and tyranny?

@Catharyn Speaking of factions, were you alright with the Corporation (BAAC) included in my CS? And if so, should I create a Faction Sheet for them?

Catharyn said
Xanndros, what kind of character ideas are you toying with?

Right now, the one I'm leaning towards the most would be an assassin of sorts, "working" for the BESC. Someone who would kind of play the role of a "bad guy", working for the government. For now at least, where or what he ends up doing later as the story progresses is still in the air. He might continue working against "most" players and their agendas or he might be swayed to some other side. Who knows~ : )

What do you think about that?

[Leidenschaft]

I'm going to wait until the major factions are put out before going anywhere further with my character idea.

[Cath]

Sauron, okay i've got you. Yeah but remember it only has around 20,000 pledged full members. Having a massive tower like that is redundant and doesn't fit with the image. Corporation headquarters with millions of workers would have massive towers that huddle around the Skytower, not a supposed charity. . The ancient organization would more likely own a whole host of small businesses and properties, gradually gaining control etc. What do you think?

Yes it was great . Sure, if you want! Every bit of information is welcome. . I like reading corporation information. By the way, your character picture is broken :(

Sounds good . Assassin is such a generic job though, remember there are a whole host of roles available in a corrupt fascist government!

Sorted then. :)

I'll try and work faster.

Just want to say I'm still here just on vacation. Will read everything when I get home tonight.

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

Actually, I forgot the fact that the Knight's Holy Cross have a vast network of connections, now that you say it, placing temple tower in the center makes more sense, because the Red Cross is a massive corporations, it's just that the Knights Holy Cross use it as a figure to hide behind and controll.

If you thought differently feel free to tell.

Worry not... not a typical assassin, just something that fits the description the best.

Will do!

And thanks for catching that, I think I fixed it but if it happens again I'll just switch the image out.

[Siphran]

Excellent, oh, and one more question Cathy. Conceivably, would the characters from the last roleplay exist, though before everything they went through the last time? I was just thinking that it might be interesting to encounter the previous characters at some point along this story.

And Cathy, don't forget, we do have a wiki we can refer everyone to.

Very nice.

Interested, but need more information on the factions that exist.

They'll be up in good time, if you want to stick around for the OOC, I can send a message your way when it goes up.

I try.

[Skull]

Haven't read the specifics just yet... but I am interested in making a politician of sorts.

[Empath]

Seems like you are already well on your way to a solid rp, but I just wanted to ask: is it still open?

[Skull]

^ I sure hope so.

[Xanndros]

I'm pretty sure it is... ?
