Quote from WafflesMgee

Heh, I'd love to bring in all the SCP-related organizations like Are We Cool Yet and the Global Occult Coaliton but I'd imagine they'd come WITH the SCP. If you know about SCP, you know about them.

I can understand that, but a lot of people actually don't know about them. They're not there purely because The Foundation exists, but because it exists they're a main antagonistic force. Who's to say in this universe which contains a Foundation that they exist as well, or operate under the same names? Just food for thought.

A couple possibilities worth exploring:


Nexcorp & The Hand:
Nexcorp manufactures cyborgs that often die in battle. The Hand revives previously deceased cyborgs. Wouldn't say Nexcorp would be a fan of the Hand hijacking their gladiators- but such is the cost of doing business. Also gives an Adam Smith vibe- what with big business and the invisible hand.

Nexcorp, M.A.C. & The System:
Sure, the System can get their hands on any (w)RHG they please. But why not order direct? Nexcorp- and potentially M.A.C. both have their specialty gladiators. I'd imagine that the System would love to get their hands on the newest product- occasionally recruiting gladiators produced by either of the two major providers; thus opening the door for three-way interaction between producer and consumer alike.



I considered posting one of these for Freeborn, seeing that Night Creatures (and Nexcorp) made the list, but I'm not sure I could do it justice. May be best to give it time.

Cheers.

A closer look (Click to Show)

Fountain, as its name suggests grants wishes when the client “tosses the coin in.” No one knows how it rose to power, but it is all too well known in the black markets. Ethics wise, it will remorselessly do whatever is needed by the client, but it holds a very strong sense of honor. In other words, it will never double cross a client or member working there. It actually operates in five different branches; Lead, Legal, Illegal, Defense, and Discipline.

Lead (Click to Show)

Secretive even to the other branches, this part of Fountain maintains and oversees all other parts. This is so secretive, that only the messengers’ identities are known. And they are only known by the top members of the other branches.

Legal (Click to Show)

To the common eye, Fountain is a chain of pawnshops sprawled all over several cities although its main base is in RHG city. Ironically though, 94% of the people who work for this part of Fountain think it is completely legit. The higher up people want to keep it this way so that they don’t tell, or worse, get a visit from Discipline.

Illegal (Click to Show)

Under the black market, they will do anything the client says no matter how immoral as long as they pay. They do almost anything, but they specialize in assassinations, abductions, and especially providing or training elite militia.

Defense (Click to Show)

Defense is a highly elite group that deals with all internal or external threats. Internal wise, if someone sees something they shouldn’t, they will usually warn the person not to talk under threat of Discipline but sometimes they have to (Humanely) put the person down. They will also deal with any internal struggles and betrayals. Although once apprehended, perpetrators are turned in to Discipline. Externally, they have to deal with and eliminate all threats. This is what they elite army is for. It is also worth mentioning, that they have a squad of five hundred elites trained specifically to take down gladiators should the need arise.

Discipline (Click to Show)

Discipline is well known and feared by all other branches except Legal. Anyone who causes any trouble by attacking, rebelling, or just simply breaking a deal is registered for discipline. At which point, the Discipline crew comes in, snatches them, tortures them until they beg to die, continues until they die of the pain, and leaves their unrecognizable body out in he street as a warning for others. Sometimes someone comes along that it too powerful for Discipline. If this happens, they simply call Defense an have them hand deliver the subject for disciplining.

The way I envision The Organization, and the way you describe "Fountain", it actually seems quite plausible to me that Fountain could perhaps be a subbranch of The Organization. The Organization has no known purposes but the way Fountain goes about things is extremely similar to The Organization's approach to things if you ask me ;)

Something to think about, perhaps?

Quote from Urako

Well, Fountain was going to have 24 men in Defense named after the military alphabet specifically designed to counter the organization, but a business merge might be profitable. In short, yes it can be part of The Organization, but I get to decide Fountain's activities etc.

If Fountain would be a subbranch, that'd practically mean it'd be run by separate people, but those people'd answer to the higher ups in the Organization. Regardless, I hardly decide on controlling matters anyways as any reference to The Organization you'll see on my side will be in Gamma's stories, and those aren't very administratively focused, so I highly doubt I would ever even have the need to decide on Fountain's activities, so no worries there :D.

This also means that The Agents could perhaps mop up your mess as those are in service of the entire organization ;).

Deal! However i must warn you that Fountain will be almost destroyed by the end of my second wRHG character's story.

Then why suggest it~?

This is to be a list of stuff others can use for their stories and what not as to make sure there aren't a thousand different organizations going on. If y ou submit one just to be destroyed soon enough, what's the point?

Because it isn't completely destroyed, just crippled. Plus it isn't going to happen for a very very long time.

Alright then, but if you're going to make it a branch or whatever from The Organization then give me an updated version to put into the OP.

Okay then. I think you'll find that it still operates very similarly.

I'm a fan of how Urako set up his organization description. I think any of our organizations could benefit from having a legal and illegal tab, as well as project folders and such. Expect a revised version of Nexcorp's org. desc. to be tacked onto this post sometime over the next few weeks. I think that if I can tweak Urako's organization format to fit my own, I can take that a step further and improve the template somewhat. A description's good, but a detailed description's great.

Organization name: 80

Organization specialties: Black Operations
Submitted by: The Organization

"80" as a name? Well, since there already IS a "The Organization" courtesy of Vern (his came first, sorry. I just figured people would have actual names for their things, rather than just flat-out stating what they were) your thing will have to be a branch of his. Why not give it a name that sounds like a, well, name?

Err, the name is Eighty or 80, it has nothing to do with the actual purpose of it. Technically, mine came first, but I submitted 80 instead to avoid conflicts. Also as its a subcontracted group its actually not a part of the Organization at all, it just takes contracts from them. So its technically not a part of mine or vern's group.
