War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

A fun question for everyone: What is your faction's elite? Their Brotherhood Paladins, their Institute Coursers, their NCR Veteran Rangers?

@Irredeemable

besides the 5 families, leaders of groups, and some "bureaucrats" that generally keep things moving in the consortium on civilian levels, overall the consortium, operates more in the rule of might makes right with officers of the five families operating with high power and the bureaucrats that make sure things keep spinning giving me a sort of Oligarchic republic.

Hi, mao happy late birthday.

War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

I designed her as a foil to Mr House. They're both robotics geniuses ruling over their own state, but House is an old man with an economy based on services, who's quite isolationist and desires to rule as an autocrat. May is a young woman with an economy based on goods, who is expansionist and wants to rule quietly, from the shadows.

@Noblebandit

yeah, its gonna be Goon's history most of the time most history generally focus on what a society/faction/nation faced in other words how it began how it got here, and all of that you just need to focus on the overall stakes not on what a person did if it gets to needing that its generally falls under power struggles i am using very broad terms history is complicated like hell.

War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

Well, it certainly would revolve around one person. oof. well if that is the case write about the companies expansion and hick-ups through the way if you want something simple.

Edit: basically try to focus on what the corp had to do after facing a problem it doesn't need to involve its CEO just its goons having to deal with problems.

Oh, I understand that. I just don't want it to look like I'm just writing the character's backstory, that's all.

@Noblebandit

Well if you want help you just need to flip through some politics and histories the best way I see to find a country that is entirely linked to a single person is either due to the following:
A. the person in question massively purged government making no one really fucking raise a finger against then

B. The person in question was a military genius possibly charismatic who unified the entire region or liberates a region with such power through sheer dumb luck or simply realizing its enemy was too weak or tactics. that everyone basically respects that person like hell. No leader who won a war lost an election that is a fact.

C. is literally the founder of said people like if someone is like priest/charisma build to convince people to join their goals it basically makes them impossible to be questioned unless bad things begin to mount up against then economic malaise, instability, military disasters Etc.

i am using just great leader reasons as for the nation basically what they are is what is important if someone made one of "Alexander the guy who cant stop conquering" then most of the history would revolve around the peoples and their conflicts and then what happened during the peace brought by the guy is still tense relations with different groups or people respect the peace.

Maybe you can give some pointers then www

My biggest problem with writing it up is that I don't want it to feel like I'm writing a character backstory, but when the faction is so closely tied to one particular character, it comes across that way even if I don't want it to. I don't want people to read it and think I'm doing something like "and this is my character and she's so smart and cool and clever that she can rule an entire country just by herself, lololol"

@Noblebandit

I mean there is a way it's called living under the shadow which is better referenced IRL with the country of turkey and Attaturk.

<Snipped quote by FalloutJack>

It's a plutocracy. One company has managed to attain a near total monopoly over the production of their region, and keeps people in line through a mix of bribing the real politicians, and hiring mercenaries to handle troublemakers. It was kind of meant to be a New Vegas style faction, but with a post-war economic genius rather than pre-war one.

@Noblebandit

Sounds like me but instead of a corporation, it was a series of criminal gangs that basically formed a state since there was no state left and because the order was better than just shooting each other constantly.
