Chapter 3 OOC and Plotting

[thenine]

Chapter 3 Launch

Chapter 3 Event Log is up for your review. Please feel free to post there or your own logs for the event - whichever works best for you.

Chapter 3 Calendar / Timeline is available here for the expected timeline of the month.

Information on the new network system and their subsequent devices has been added to the technology page! To save you some clicking, here's the rundown:

Communications

Like all of the tech in the Quad, its distribution comes down to wealth. If you have the status and the joy, you can get your hands on some fancy holographic projectors that make it look like the other person is right next to you no matter how many lightyears might actually be between you. But for most people--i.e., those who aren't ingratiated with the Qreshi elite--the standard technology is still text messaging, audio calls, and video chatting.

As part of Qresh’s outreach initiatives, handheld Personal Digital Devices (PDDs) have been distributed and made available to all citizens of the Quad. These function in a very similar way to modern smartphones and tablets, coming in different sizes and with different levels of luxury and processing power depending on the amount of joy you’ve spent.

The standard-issue, freely provided PDD has enough power to browse the network, stream video calls, buffer kitten and puppy videos, and function as a basic communication tool. It does not have the storage space or processing power to house advanced AIs in entirety or be used for high-level hacking.

Standard Issue PDD	Tablet style PDD

The Meshwork

All PDDs are connected to the Meshwork, a Quad-wide network that allows for instantaneous communication across its associated devices. PDDs distributed through the Qreshi initiatives come pre-equipped with this feature while PDDs obtained prior to it will have mandatory updates to make them compatible.

The Meshwork’s primary hardware is housed on Qreshi soils while satellite nodes around the different moons connect further away locations. Since its introduction in the Quad, there have been rumors of public posts being edited or changed from the author’s original content, and some even suggest that the Nine might be using the system to gather data on citizen’s personal lives. Most people, however, disregard those theories as the wild fantasies of conspiracy-lovers and benefit greatly from the increased connectivity that the Meshwork provides.

(OOC: This functions like the standard network community, but with added subterfuge and potential side-effects of continued use that can range from migraines and nosebleeds to temporary blindness and memory regains hallucinations.)

Prompt Notes

To help you get started, here are some potential quick notes for things you could do with these prompts--but feel free to expand or come up with something entirely on your own!

The Nine

The Nine have funded the design of new PDDs, technology that they will give out freely to all residents of the Quad. With these devices, everyone now has real time, reliable access to the network. However, side effects ranging from headaches to hallucinations result from heavy usage.

Within the nobility itself, power continues to shift, as Land Kendry continues to make the most of their advantageous position by proposing more oppressive legislation. While the Nine have united to blame the Resistance for the repeal of the Seventh Generation Accords, little else binds them together as the upheaval from below trickles upwards.

The Company

Those within the Company will find their duties increasing. While still cleaning up the streets from the pandemic and maintaining their other expected assignments, they will also be tasked with increased security for border control and the quelling of riots. Officers can expect to have any combination or all of these tasked piled on them, as the awakening Resistance means no rest for those who stand to face it.

Westies

In addition to still weathering the after-effects of Chapter 2's illness, Westerley will become a hotbed for civil unrest as news of the Accords spreads and spurs protests. Protests will give way to destructive riots and subsequent travel restrictions placed on Westies. Once the chaos of the riots has simmered down--claiming more than a few lives in the process--Old Town will host a Peace Summit between diplomatic representatives of Leith and Westerley.

True Leithians

True Leithians will find their numbers quickly dwindling. In what should be a celebration of a mission completed, this faction will find itself left out to hang by its most prominent benefactors and pursued doggedly by members of Hyperion.

Leithians

Leith will be host to a number of charity-driven galas and social functions in an effort to pool resources and address the aftermath of the P43X attack. Disheartened by the riots, Leith will initially be a hostile host for any stationed Westies, but with the rise of moderates, the Good Will Corps will be established for the sake (obstensibly) of aiding their sister moon. Leithian delegates and prominent members of society, alongside the Good Will Corps, will attend the Peace Summit scheduled in Old Town on Week VI, Day III.

Resistance

The entity known as Hyperion has managed to compile a surprisingly detailed dossier on each person they reach out to. Based on each character's strengths, Hyperion is going to direct them to a specific cell in order to maximize their effectiveness towards furthering the Resistance's aims.

The RAC

The RAC, in addition to its usual flow of warrants and assignments across the Quad, will be undergoing IC evaluations for potentially promoting its lower-ranked agents. The evaluations will be carried out by Level 4 agents, who will have their own evaluation conducted in the next chapter. Although not mandatory, Level 4s will find their transition to Level 5 greatly helped--or hindered--based on their ability to carry out these evaluations and the accuracy of their reports.

Major Plot Points

Plot Management Going Forward

With the fall of the Accords comes a shift in how the mods intend to interact with the game plot. Up to this point, we've provided you with "either or" options, in which as a game you would collectively decide by majority rule which direction the next chapter moved in.

From here, however, it's going to be your IC actions (such as the success or failure of the Hyperion missions, the brutality or kindness of Company characters, et cetera) which will shape the flow of the plot. As such, we will seldom provide an "A or B" scenario and it's your character narratives that will determine the climate of the game. AC next month and in subsequent months will include an optional form submission to provide a short plot-relevant description of what your character has been up to because while we would love to stalk every thread in the game, we're liable to miss important details without a report mechanism. (But we promise, it won't be an essay, and it isn't mandatory!)

To be clear, however, we still fully intend to participate in the plot and will continue with chapter releases as before, but now rather than mods steering it, we're just here to guide it and interact with it ourselves on a player-based level.

As such, the direction of the "Peace Summit" will be determined based on the reports of Hyperion's missions and other involved players. More details to come as we get closer to it, but it will be the jumping off point for Chapter 4.

Resistance - Hyperion Missions

Depending on how many characters are signed up to participate, each cell will begin with between 2-4 characters and have a max of 6 per team to allow for inclusion through IC CR as character plot lines develop.

Those that wish to have their character coerced, blackmailed, or given some other form of incentive to get their character to participate are encouraged to sign up - we just ask that you detail out what leverage Hyperion would have that would ensure cooperation.

Teams will be established via RNG, though if you have any special requests for certain team members, please feel free to make a note of it in your sign up and we will try to accommodate it! Once teams are confirmed, team leaders will receive IC instructions via encrypted communication through the Meshwork, to provide them a set of dossiers on the people selected for their cell, as well as an initial set of instructions in order to both bring the cells together. Their respective safehouses will be stocked with the supplies needed for their first missions.

OOC, a write up on each of the different cell bases will be provided in this community for reference, though ICly, only those within the team should know the details without prior player plotting.

Please see the top-levels for sign ups and opt-outs!

RAC - Promotions (or Demotions)

Sign-ups for evaluations will be open for OOC days (until Feb 16th), after which we'll RNG the evaluation match-ups if players indicate no preference - the only exception being personnel on a recognized team (ex: Since Joe and Schmoe are a team, Joe cannot conduct Schmoe's assessment, as that does not suggest an impartial evaluation).

Players are green-lighted to make up their own warrant(s) for this, though you are free to request a warrant the monthly warrant page. Please remember that characters that have two mod-issued warrants cannot request another warrant until they either submit a completed thread for the additional HP, submit a request to withdraw (if the warrant was never started or the other player dropped from the game), or a failed notice in the case that it was started and never completed.

Each character should have 2 evaluations. Both will include a 'mental fortitude' element, however one will focus on the tactical combat proficiency and the other strategic planning. The only requirement is that character being evaluated has to 'take lead' and the warrant must be for the level they are being evaluated for, rather than their current one.

Please see these top levels for sign-ups. Opt-outs are not necessary as this is not mandatory in an IC framework.

Badou Nails | all for one and one for one

[brokeassgoing]

Character: Badou Nails
Location: Westerley
Primary Faction Goals: live his goddamn life without toeing too many lines/get his ass kicked
Secondary Faction Goals: throwing resistance themed things at him and eventually making him see it'd be within his best interest to do something about It
Desired CR: Killjoys , company zombies, enforcers - he knows they're just doing their jobs and he's made good work of turning the other cheek but What The Fuck Are Ya'll Doing.
resistance kids - incredibly skeptical of the Cause and its merits, he sees those of the resistance as bleeding hearts...so if someone were to want to pull his head outta his ass that'd be cool.
Offered CR:
he's in some KnowHow having had his thumbs in a manner of many pies so if its information you want this guy could have it
want a reaction? outta practically anything? here's this guy
though panicking and shitting, he's decent in a fight WITH his cigarettes
without....well, he doesn't miss much.
if you need someone to laugh at or laugh with, he's your guy. especially the at part
also he is always here for conspiracy theories?? but not mothman
Anything else? nnnnothing else I can think of I tried so hard to sell him but its like selling a half damp turd

[iuramentum]

SIDE EYES
So that positive CR........

hawke | killjoy

[kirkwalled]

Character: Hawke
Location: Westerley / RAC Cruiser (She'll be staying on the Cruiser a LOT more as things get heated in Westerley)
Primary Faction Goals: Trying to keep her head down and stay neutral. She's fought this war before, she doesn't want to do it again?
Secondary Faction Goals: Also desperately trying to avoid a promotion because Hawke is a normal person totally, completely. No leadership for her. Nope. It definitely doesn't scare the bejeezus out of her.

Desired CR:

1) It'd be neat for her to have a more consistent "partner" of sorts for warrants. Someone she'll end up with more times than most. With the looming promotion, it'd be great if they were both concerned about it.
2) In that same vein, someone who hires her more often than not. A reliable source of a job! She would most likely hit them up as things get complicated in a way to keep her head afloat.
3) More extremist CR! Either firmly Pro-Company or firmly Pro-Resistance. She can be friends with anyone but the more passionate and firm they are about their views, the more Hawke is totally boned.
4) She's still pretty lone wolf despite it all. Eventually someone to knock her out of this?

Offered CR:

1) Hawke's trying to stay neutral but will definitely be pretty aggressive towards anyone trying to fight the rioters. Gotta protect that underdog, ya know. Anyone who wants to get in an altercation with Hawke over this is welcome.
2) She's the big sister you never had and an optimist at heart. If you need someone to cheer up your character in the midst of everything, Hawke is your gal. Alcohol for adults, ice cream for minors.
3) Want normalcy? Hawke's got it. She does her best to bring things down from the whole "five minutes to midnight" feeling.
4) Any RAC agents want to train before assessments? Hawke most likely has a reputation for being able to take a staggering amount of hits before ever going down. It's eerie, really.
5) Hawke is as loyal as a dog. Someone take advantage of this.

Anything else? The bird just got here. The bird is doing her best.

[inksplashes]

Lavi has a recent weapon/power regain and... you know... needs to train with it

Down side: may roast training area

Plus side: if they bring chicken it's a BBQ


look just give me this cr I want it

[valr]

hey hawke do u wanna help kara save some rioters from company jerks B(

[bywolves]

let's go get drinks and talk about how stupid the riots are and how great it is to be totally neutral forces, hawke

[gauntlet]

do u want

peter to be her evaluator (i think that request is a thing that can happen)

because you know who will not put up with any of this 'throwing it' business

[unpromising]

let's do a thing this chapter!! maybe they can popcorn shit going down and then qrow can silently judge her for jumping in when rioters are getting harmed

Midori Nagamasa | Killjoy

[selfsatisfy]

Character: Midori Nagamasa
Location: Westerley probably
Primary Faction Goals: To have fun
Secondary Faction Goals: To...to have a lesser amount of fun???!
Desired CR: Pretty open to whatever sorry I don't have a laundry list. Characters who have Things They Are Trying To Accomplish have a pretty high chance of swaying Midori to help them out since he'll be bored. I'd love to do some of the warrants if any Killjoys are looking for a partner (or if anyone not a Killjoy wants to tag along on a warrant, idk Midori's pretty lax about shit he shouldn't be).
Offered CR:
-Some asshole willing to help you with shit no matter how shady because it's "interesting".
-A doctor! ...No really, he's a doctor. Need some medical attention he's here to help and he probably won't even charge you
-If you need guns/ammo he also pretty much owns an armory because what else does one spend their paycheck on gosh
-He just...really really wants to fight honestly. Any excuse is a good excuse?!
-Idk he's a sociopath who's all chill and charitable and against killing until he's working on a Killjoy job and then suddenly bam he's a sadist. If you need fucked up people in your character's life please insert 25¢ and press continue
Anything else? This is me coming off hiatus sorry I don't have better ideas wwww

juvia lockser | company

[lacuscular]

Character: Juvia Lockser
Location: Westerly
Primary Faction Goals: To, first and foremost, follow company orders! Essentially putting her personal life aside to assist them in anyway possible while dealing with the consequences of it.
Secondary Faction Goals: Since the Company comes first, Juvia wouldn't have any immediate secondary goals. But having someone just...showing her the world of the resistance through a high strung conversation would be kind of cool maybe?!
Desired CR:
> People with opposing ideals to fight her either in an argument or a riot!
> Someone to remind her not to work herself to death, or to not put the Company as a priority before herself.
> Maybe someone to help her be able to sympathize more for the people who are rioting/resistance??
> Company member shenanigans/crowd control, or after the riot like messing with the new tech handed out
> I'm a-okay with anything and everything so long as we can work it out ;0;
Offered CR:
> Juvia helping to protect your character if she believes them to be in trouble! Maybe a situation where she's forced to put her morals to the test???
> Battles! Or anything really
> In the rare downtime, she'll be more worn down and more likely to open up about stress.. life problems... etc
> Being a soft bean, she can be a soft bean for your character no matter what
Anything else? n/a!

[sunderings]

A moment of downtime/reprieve might be cute to thread between these two! Since Juvia fussed after him before, Sion will be adamant about returning the favor.

Alternatively, Sion is definitely getting involved in peacefully diffusing the riots as they surface!! It would be equally cute if she was assigned to him for security but they ended up protecting one another??

[mayora13]

HELLO FELLOW COMPANY SLAVE OFFICER

Hijikata is very 'Company first' as well, so they don't have opposing ideals, but I think it'd be nice for them to have a thread anyway! He's the type to remind her not to work herself to death, at least (as he works himself to death)

Messing with the new tech sounds like a fun way to get them doing something together - I don't know how good she is with tech, but Hijikata is liable to do something stupid with his, so maybe she can catch him trying to fix it (with increasing frustration)?

[rhygret]

Hey Juvia can you research a bunch of old Company junk for me that would be super-cool

crowley eusford | nine

[eusford]

Character: Crowley Eusford
Location: Qresh and Leith!
Primary Faction Goals: Since Crowley has land, albeit small, and is pretty happy about that and the Simms relationship with the Kendry he's only got one concern: when is this all gonna blow up? Not because he's afraid of anything serious like his family being betrayed or whatever but because politics so far have been a trip.
Secondary Faction Goals: He's going to Leith to see his son and make sure he's working hard with charity things. And watch he won't do anything or the bare minimal because he's a tired old man.
Desired CR:
- Positive and negative CR! He doesn't really flaunt about being a member of the Nine but if someone bad mouthed them he'd pop up. Or if you're on neutral grounds and drag him off his ass to help out that'd be great too!
- Someone that'll pinch his ass whenever he's being insensitive lmao.
- Someone to question his morals of why he's here, because he'll most definitely say it's because he's bored.
- Other than that anything else is fine! I'm pretty much down for whatever.
Offered CR:
- If you wanna fight him go ahead. Sparring is fine, too!
- He'll talk shit about the Nine for days so if that's what your character needs for a pick me up... he's there.
- Honestly Crowley is just a mixed bag you reach in and just pray he doesn't bite.
Anything else? My hours for work are all over the place this week but I'll still be available on plurk and discord!

[rhygret]

10/10 worst friend would friend again

neal caffrey | killjoy

[joyriding]

Character: Neal Caffrey
Location: Everywhere
Primary Faction Goals: He loves life as a Killjoy? He loves the freedom it gives him. He's going to go for a promotion just because he loves proving how good he is tbh.
Secondary Faction Goals: He's a hopeless bleeding heart when someone is suffering. He's inclined to help Westies if they need it, bc their current situation kind of sucks a lot. He understands their anger at True Leithians and the Nine, though his current opinion is that the resistance isn't helping matters either.

Desired CR:
- other killjoys
- anyone who can make him invested in the situation, or who wants to try
- basically make him care (it's not hard)
- discussions of morality, from either side

Offered CR:
- a shameless charmer who is really good at getting people to let their guard down. let me throw him at your stoics and your grumps. alternatively on other shameless charmers to stack the effect on surrounding people.
- discussions of morality from a bleeding heart criminal. stealing is okay just don't hurt anyone??
- he can be impossibly obnoxious if he doesn't like someone, so give me negative cr too pls

Anything else? I made a convenient info post here if you want to know more, but just ask!

[ofobedience]

Morality discussions please, I'm just not sure how best to arrange it.

leo elster | westie on leith!

[slotted]

Character: Leo Elster
Location: Leith, as The Company will be working him to the bone!
Primary Faction Goals: Be a sad Westie.
Secondary Faction Goals: n/a

Desired CR:
+ leo works at a cafe so maybe somebody on leith can book their posh cafe for some charity event or some other
+ people who may be interested in hack-modded humans or other forms of technology
+ people in the resistance who wants to convert him or some other! that'd be interesting
+ more people he can network with, really

Offered CR:
+ broody busybody whose side is bleeding almost every time
+ hacker and info broker!
+ someone who's terribly neutral and hates the shit out of violence

Anything else? nnn!

[bywolves]

Leo's on Leith and Royce is on Westerley, but if you wanna have more networking possibilities, Royce is an infogatherer/thief for hire and he'd be pretty good for information on what's happening in Westerley! Which works better now because of the PDDs, I think.

he's also very interested in hack-modded humans. tell him more.

qrow branwen | rac

[unpromising]

Character: Qrow Branwen
Location: Westerley
Primary Faction Goals: Is being drunk a goal? But ah… right now he'll just be getting back on his feet as he just recently got back from a warrant that took months to accomplish!
Secondary Faction Goals: Is being drunk a secondary goal?

Desired CR:
+ someone who can try to kick his ass for always being drunk i guess
+ i know i talked to some people in the cr meme about qrow being an instructor so now's the time his classes are "back in session" so hellooooo students
+ someone who can annoy the shit out of him, whether it's someone from the company, the rac, or just some random westie

Offered CR:
+ drunk uncle
+ drunk observant of westies' suffering. REALLY, he will not do anything about it unless he absolutely has to
+ salty uncle
+ drunk and salty uncle

Anything else? I GOT NOTHIN

[reburden]

so about those lessons, sorry kim is gonna have to cancel for a few weeks because rioters destroyed his store and now he's gotta spend all his time rebuilding

sorry uncle, here's an iou :(

Royce Melborn | Westie/thief for hire

[bywolves]

Character: Royce
Location: Westerley, mostly!
Primary Faction Goals: Avoid getting trampled by the riots, find some clients, work both sides of the Nine and the Resistance, honestly.
Secondary Faction Goals: Not die! That'd be preferable.
Desired CR:
» Characters who will try to drag him to either side of the conflict and not let him stay neutral!
» Friends! Other info broker types, people he can partner up with, people he can go check on during the riots and be tsun at, like no, I'm not checking to see if you're okay, I'm just making sure you're still here because you're useful, whatever!!!
» Clients! People who will hire him to go gather information on people, steal things from them, and if the pay is good enough, kill people. He's willing - he doesn't have... a whole lot of limits on what he'll do, horribly enough.
» Possibly someone to save him from being trampled, as well as people he can pick up out of the way of riots! He's particularly inclined to help the poor when nobody's looking.
» Pretty much anything, honestly, I'm brand new and so is he!
Offered CR:
» Grumpy tsun ass who can be convinced to care a lot more than he lets on.
» Practical, neutral, doesn't give two shits who you are or what you do for a living as long as you don't try to kill him. No judging here.
» A dude who is under the radar - he has contacts among the lesser Nine nobles that he does jobs for and a few Company contacts, a few Resistance members, so he can also... spy on them, if you want him to.
Anything else? except it's february

[fledges]

locks royce in a closet again

but okay kate could also help him during the riots c:

[tropism]

Character: giorno giovanna
Location: he's a killjoy, so everywhere! just let me know if you need him somewhere!
Primary Faction Goals: at the moment, his loyalty is to the RAC.
Secondary Faction Goals: nnnnnnothing atm. but he's not too indifferent to the resistance, so provided it doesn't get him in trouble/it doesn't interfere with a warrant/he doesn't know, he'll be willing to aid/help hyperion or resistance peeps if necessary.

IMPORTANT THINGS
1. RAC EVALUATION giogio is gonna be busy with this!
2. WARRANTS - 1/2 i'm all up for him partnering up with people. i got a spot saved for a giovanni rammsteiner but i'm otherwise free!
****on day 4, he's doing a warrant with giovanni!


PLOT THINGS
- he's pretty angry at the whole accords. his brother's in westerley, he's very worried for him. but he likes the freedom and the range being a killjoy affords him, so he's making the rac evals a top priority.

- at the moment he is curious about the whole resistance thing! but not curious enough to be part of it. not really looking for him to be converted or anything as of now, but he can offer help if needed to resistance/hyperion people, so long as it doesn't get in the way of a warrant or something.

any of his current cr: he has he'll try to offer as much as he can if they're in trouble, and/or if needed.



OTHER THINGS

- i have backtags, i'm getting through them! if you wanna drop something, let me know and i'll hash out the end with you! in general tho i plan to reply to all the things i have in my inbox.

- i'm a bit slow this week because of school, i'm sorry!

Desired CR: cr outside of killjoys are good too! and keeping in touch with his current cr is also on my list, so i'll just be working on those for this chapter.

Offered CR: giorno is a level-headed kid with a hunger for power; he's working on the physical aspect of that. he's also slowly becoming curious about things beyond his warrant. i don't plan on having him switch anytime soon, but he's sympathetic enough to resistance peeps that he wouldn't mind helping them if it doesn't compromise him!

also, giorno is mostly interested in becoming stronger, physically and ... otherwise. opportunities will come up as the plot rolls, but like i said, if you need his help, he can offer it. he knows westerley quite well.

and if you want pre-game cr, that's cool with me too! let's make something work.

[graftage]

GIOGIOOOO

do you want these two bffs to run into each other at some point during their respective jobs? they can help each other out if their paths intersect!

[gauntlet]

Character: Peter Burke
Location: Anywhere a cat Killjoy can go, sooo most places? Aside from docking on Leith.
Primary Faction Goals: Order x_x LBR this is Peter's primary goal at all times, but given that everything is on fire right now, uh. That. He's doing evaluations for the RAC, so if you're not Neal and want him to do yours a/o a training partner with terrifyingly high standards, here u go.
Secondary Faction Goals: ALSO ORDER? Like. Really, he just wants society not to fall apart at the seams is that so wrong. But also, Neal will pass his evaluation if it kills them both!!

Desired CR: So okay on the CR meme I typed "friends and friendly acquaintances" when I meant enemies and friendly acquaintances, and then I couldn't edit it because people had replied. That has been weighing on me for a week.

...that said I am always looking to expand his relationships within the RAC! If they don't know each other, let's meet. If they do let's go in a ...direction of some kind!

- Right now he's gonna be pretty at odds with the Resistance because that looks like More Chaos to him, so--it would be cool to have friction with someone there, A/O someone he'll inevitably be sympathetic to and as such have to Do Some Thinking? (You may have guessed I'm really into making Peter question his beliefs; you would be correct.)

- The kind of Unexpected CR that gets generated in an intense situation is always fun, and since there are uh, riots, those are ...probably pretty easy to invent.

Offered CR: Dadding?? Apparently? I did not come into this game expecting that but here we are. Moral compass, general wet blanket, uhhh, being like the oldest person in the game who isn't secretly an immortal, so i guess shaking canes at whippersnappers, and: tango partner. Really.

Anything else? This meme is huge and I don't know what I'm doing, help.

[eggplanting]

hi dad

lina and a top level

[servitor]

nyx ulric // kingsglaive

[servitor]

Location: westerley
Primary Faction Goals: just be all that he can be as a company man
Secondary Faction Goals: low key i want to push him into the resistance but so far he just keeps kate out of trouble and tries to not get her killed
Desired CR: i just got here fam i'm available for anything
Offered CR: a shithead who will tell you you're full of crap, a big damn hero, a loyal guy, just generally a good dude, sparring, wicked sick parkour buddy, bartender at bahamut's fury so u kno u can get a drink
Anything else?

Rhys | Kendry | Blackmailed by Resistance

[rhygret]

Character: Rhys
Location: Qresh
Primary Faction Goals: As a member of The Nine Rhys is going to outwardly support his family's decisions while wondering if this is such a good idea. They pissed off a lot of people with this and he's starting to see that with the riots.
Secondary Faction Goals: He's noticing that the Resistance is less stupid and aimless about the way they do things?? Which is weird and concerning and he's maybe not being as difficult as usual here. He wasn't to know what's up.
Desired CR: SEE BELOW.
Offered CR: Do you want:
-a rich loser with classist issues?
-Someone who sucks as a human being but is actually pretty passable as a friend?
-RHYS MAY BE FOR YOU.
-He's going to start having Things In The Works soon so black market, doctor, outlaw/bandits, and smuggler-types who need business may find Rhys in need of their services. He got the cash money 4 u.
Anything else? SINCE YOU ASKED...may I present to you:

Rhys's Awesome Plan to Get Rich Have Everybody Love Him and Rule The Quad

STEP ONE Begins with seeing that The Resistance is Gaining Foot with Hyperion!! Maybe he isn't directly contacted or involved, but he's noticing that they're seeming less disorganized with their blackmailing and with the riots/discontent on Westerley, The Nine are not very popular after the Accords dissolve. There's a lot of people who wanted what Leith has: a better life, wealth, land. So what if he could do something about that??? Rhys is currently in need of the following: People experienced with the Badlands Doctor-types Company Peons to gather data for him Family members or people with relations to The Nine He also has the follow RAC Warrants available: LEVEL ONE: RECLAMATION Procure air/water filtration technology utilized by bandits in the Badlands. HAVE FUN WITH THAT ONE. LEVEL TWO: TRANSFER Pick-up a special delivery from outside the Quad (shield tech plans) Escort Rhys to the Badlands (survey scans) This is all totally legit. Don't even worry about it. STEP TWO Makeout a little

[gauntlet]

About that escort mission (I mean warrant)

Hi :3

ruri | francis fitzgerald | ONE MILLION YEARS LATE

Secondary Faction Goals: to find a cure for his daughter; no matter the cost
Desired CR:

+ Come to his gala -- rich folk sure, but he'll invite some poor slubs to show that he isn't heartless (read: he is)!
+ Want to go on shopping trips with a rich-asshole? He'll buy one of those fancy communicators for 1-2 special people

+ Friendly person who will be happy to just chill out, if you want someone to just chat with about current events

Anything else? NOPE
