Japan Mon Mar 07 Shadow Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* As the Emperor of Japan, Dr. Wily's power is strictly ceremonial, akin to the
modern Queen of England or King of Spain.
* However, exercising an ancient Imperial right, Japan has been divided by the
Emperor into ten Prefectures, each of which as a Robot Master shogun
responsible for its defence. Defence from attacks is the shogun's ONLY
responsability and their ONLY power. Each shogun should have a castle, and
these ten castles are ideal targets for attacks since Skull Monument's
defences have been temporarily ramped up in the wake of recent events to make
direct attack extraordinarily difficult.
* The Robot Masters do NOT have legal authority at either the national or
prefecture level; any Robot Master who claims to make laws for their
prefecture will have to uphold those laws on their own, WITHOUT support from
either the Japanese government or Dr. Wily.
* Japan is governed by a Prime Minister and a Diet (akin to parliament or
congress). Much but not all of the Japanese government is in one way or
another on the payroll of the Yakuza. Although their influence is ubiquitous,
the Yakuza have no officially recognized ties to the government, the national
police, or the national military.
* Japan has signed the charter giving Interpol the right to operate on its soil
and uphold its laws. Japan is not a member of the United Nations.

Following suit with Pharaoh Man's post, Dive Man controls Okinawa at

want to attack this set of outlaying islands Southwest of the main Japanese

Additionally, if you go to Honshu, there IS an object there -- 'Okinawa

For your reference, here is a map of Japan, seperated into the Robot Master
prefectures.
http://www.japaneseguesthouses.com/maps/images/regional_map_numbers.gif
Each one should have at least one valid target for heroic attack.
1: Pharaoh Man. Neo Tokyo is also here.
2: Magic Man.
3: Junk Man and Shade Man. Dust Man is Junk's second in command. This is
shared... That may mean multiple valid targets: ask.
4. Astro Man. "Wrestlevania" is located here, left over from when Hard Man was
running it.
5: Gemini Man/Shadow Man. This is where Osaka is. This is where the
high-security survellance drones roam.
6: Plant Man. It is full of trees.
7: Star Man. This is where the Cheka 2.0 are committing rights violations, laws
have been changed, and pretty much the worst is going on. It's worth nothing
that despite the hubbub being made about the Cheka, /this is the only
prefecture they are in./
8: Quick Man. He has not said much about his prefecture yet, so something is
clearly up there. There ARE several large gold statues of Wily. There may or
may not be Kancho Police.
9: Dive Man. You know what's going on with this one, if you read his post.
I hope this helps clear up some questions people had.

Disney Universe Wed Apr 20 Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disney Universe is a NO COMBAT area, set up much like San Angeles and Eurasia.
Disney Universe can be set no-combat because of its excellent security.
Security measures at Disney Universe have several different levels:
Characters. Disney Universe is a giant private producer of androids. Many of
the androids are combat-capable. They are "DisneyCoded." They perform the
personalities of the characters they represent to the utmost fullest, and
their loyalty to Disney itself cannot be compromised. The only time that a
personality may be broken, is if there is a threat to the park, in which case,
combat strategies will be engaged and the threat desposed of in a clean
fashion. In the case of character androids that pose weak targets but are
otherwise traditional (ie the Three Little Pigs), a much nastier
combat-capable unit is never out of arm's reach for those characters'
protection (ie the Big Bad Wolf). ALL Disney androids that leave the premesis
or are otherwise rendered unusable are refurbished into entirely different
bodies before they leave the park, such that Disney trademarks are never
compromised.
The Men In White. Men In White are the elite security forces of Disney
Universe. They may be android or hired cyborgs--both are eligible, with the
cyborgs making up the majority, and the androids often being "retired"
characters who still work for the company. Despite their colliquial name, Men
In White are equipped with stealth units, and spend most of their time in the
park either invisible, or hiding in the guise of inconsequential roles such as
janitorial work. If anyone ever sees a Man In White, actually standing around
in the open, and actually wearing their white uniform...someone already messed
up.

Disney Universe 2 Wed Apr 20 Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disney Universe employees are trained in compliance techniques, and are
excellent at concealing problems with the park and maintaining visitor peace.
Even if violence occurs there, it is stopped so fast by security that no one
sees it happen. If you were to be evacuated from a sector of Disney Universe
because there was a security issue, you would probably assume that it happened
because it was your idea to leave at that time. Litter is picked up almost
instantly. Additionally, scent-based chemicals are fed into the air that
encourage ordinary human tourists to be peaceful, buy a lot of merchandise,
eat a lot of food, and come again soon. (These scent-based tricks don't work
on reploids or androids, and if you have a human PC, whether or not the
general euphoria of the place effects you at all is basically up to you. But
they do this IRL now...you can bet in 200 years they'd be extra good at doing
it.)
GNN and all other outside journalists are expressly forbidden from operating
within the park. Disney Universe has its own news network which syndicates
footage to other companies.
It is worth nothing that it is not possible to die while on land owned by the
Walt Disney Corporation. It is possible for all bodily functions to stop
working, and the brain to stop firing, the heart stop beating, etc, but for
legal reasons it is not possible to die. No lawsuit has ever successfully been
filed against park security for any reason.
All "Park" Areas of Disney Universe cost admission to enter. The admission is
an IC charge and it is fairly expensive, though some areas cost more than
others. It is also expensive to stay in the resorts, though costs vary. It
does not cost admission to go Downedtowned or to loiter outside the sports
complexes.
The food is generally very bad, but you'll eat it anyway.
It is the happiest place on Earth.

Berlin & You Sat Jul 23 General
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently Berlin is undergoing some minor work by Repliforce soldiers. This
means that the Northern area of the city is starting to actually gain some
buildings people can live in, albeit it slowly. The places are cheap to rent,
and due to the ever present 10-100 Repliforce soldiers stationed there it
tends to be a high chance that anyone you see in Berlin is competent enough
with a weapon to be able to shoot your head off.
Mavericks are not treated nicely, nor are known thieves. Interpol, Hunter and
Repliforce are treated in a reverse fashion than that, being quite respected
by the guards and often welcomed with open arms.
The actual amount of inhabitants in Berlin is probably somewhere in equality
to the current amount of Repliforcers, with potential room for growth in a few
more months.
You have to realize, however, that Berlin is basically the rubble and ruined
wasteland of a once massive city reaching out far. Thus it's pretty barren and
horrible looking, although Floral Skunk and others are working on increasing
the plantlife.
Try to avoid mass murder of people if you can help it in Berlin. There just
aren't that many to murder, and more likely you'd end up facing off against a
group of trained and well armed soldiers(Which wouldn't turn out well for you).

Lachlan Cooper is their Prime Minister. He's a moderate conservative and did
not obstruct the Revised Special Powers Act that brought about the deadline

Sandra Hatta is the Parliament Majority Leader. She is a hard-line conservative

peaceful and abhors war.
Olivia Harrison is their Parliament Minority Leader. She is liberal compared to
Hatta, but still fairly conservative. Supports Lisa Faulke's Blake Foundation.

pro-human.
Bungee Python is the spokesperson for Reploids For A Free Australia, a

Maverick Assets Sat Jul 30 Sigma

The Mavericks are currently operating out of one primary base, Aleutian Base,
in the Aleutians. Beyond that, the Mavericks have any number of assorted
secret holdings scattered across the globe for things like drone manufacture,
fuel processing, retrofitting, and so on, which can be revealed to scout or
operator characters as needed. Some notable exceptions: At the time of this
post the Maverick faction have no military holdings in San Angeles, Eurasia,
Texas, New Zealand, Azltan, or Australia (however, I believe Foucalt has been
doing some things in Australia independantly).
Also note that the sum total of the Mavericks' assets is approximately akin to
what they had five years ago, with most of the assets held during the
occupation of Europe having been lost.

Sri Lanka Sun Aug 07 Leo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sri Lanka degenerated into anarchy during World War III, with a 20 year civil
war ending with the establishment of an allegedly democratic government
entirely on the take from various Asian crime syndicates. Generally considered
a "rogue state", Sri Lanka is only tenuously linked to the United Nations, and
has no binding relationships with Repliforce, Interpol, or any other
international police organization. Authority on the island is based solely on
firepower and backup.
Anything and any one can be bought and sold in Sri Lanka. The more noxious the
trade, the more profitable it becomes, after all. The majority of the pirates
still operating in the world are regularly seen in Sri Lanka's docks,
unloading stolen wares to be fenced around the world.
Power on Sri Lanka oscillates wildly from week to week, and some times day to
day, depending on which criminal gang happens to have the strongest presence
on the island. The Yakuza, the Robot Masters and other worldwide criminal
gangs have roughly equal influence: dominating the island requires nothing
less than one's full attention due to the desire of the other inhabitants of
the island to be bound to no one's will.
There have been attempts to liberate Sri Lanka from the criminal element that
rules it: 32 in all from 2060 onward to the present. Every attempt has either
failed or only provided a short-lived peace. With the onset of the Robot Wars,
the attention of the world community moved entirely away from Sri Lanka: there
have been no attempts to take the island back since 2205. For the most part,
the ordinary citizens of the island care little who actually runs it -- they
make their living off the pirates and thieves, and are treated fairly out of
fear of a mass rebellion. Abusing the natives is a fast way to have the
island's criminal element turn against you.
Robots of any affiliation are tolerated on Sri Lanka so long as they don't make
any trouble. Sri Lanka has its own ways of dealing with rebellious robots,
having access to illegal weaponry banned by the various Geneva Convention
regulations. Death is a merciful ruling. This strict street justice for
Reploids is balanced by an overall antipathy toward Neo Arcadia. Militant
anti-Reploid activity tends to be "dispersed" with equal vigor as Maverick
activity: nobody wants a race war on Sri Lanka.

Repliforce Bases?! Tue Aug 09 General

We have the Fortress Five. This base is a massive sprawling aerial battleship

if not more(Since Repliforce has 30,000 members on average). -- Target is
Hittable, Ask Storm Owl if you want to.
We have the Damn Stubborn. It is the ultimate farmhouse and barn. The

it is our main UK base, even if it is small and unimportant. -- Target is
Hittable. Ask General, STorm Owl or Colonel for details.
Luna Outpost -- Our mining operation on the moon. Has a bunch of drones, and a
few soldiers and other thingies. -- Hittable, but it's near the old Vile
Palace so you might be leery of the Maverickness that oozes out at you. Talk

NA Naval Base <Atlaua> Sat Aug 13 Sage Harpuia

The NA have just finished construction of a new base on the tip of Baja
California. Constructed in secret, away from the prying eyes of mortals--...
err... robots, Atlaua is the Naval Gateway to the Pacific for the Neo
Arcadians, who have long been denied the passage through the Panama Canal.
Named for the Aztec God of the Sea, it is currently commanded by Water
Squad's two active members, Morgan Thatch and Mary Summers. Fairy Leviathan
will, naturally, assume control as soon as... we get one!
Heavily defended, at least five Neo Arcadian Battleships are at port at
any one time, having sailed secretly around the Southern America Coast from
the Gulf Fleets during the cover of the Treaty.
Currently it houses docks for submarines, as well as a drydock for the
construction, repair, and maintenence of Neo Arcadian Submarines. This
facility can hold as many as two submarines at any one time at present.
Atlaua is defended by missile emplacements, and powerful radar systems
able to detect enemy ships, subs, or aircraft approaching from a long way off.
The battleships themselves serve as powerful defenders in time of need, as do
the three submarines stationed off the coast. Atlaua currently houses a
contingent of Neo Arcadian Naval Officers, Work Crews, and boasts a large
number of Water Pantheon.
If you feel the desire to attack this structure, feel free to contact
myself, Elpizo, or any other active Neo Arcadian.

Tol Eressea: Information I Sun Aug 14 Sigma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Project: Tol Eressea is a joint venture between the expatriated reploids of
Australia and a large body of sympathizers, the government of New Zealand, and
the Mavericks. Although the initial formation of the sympathizer group was
organized by the Mavericks, the majority of the project's funding and
implemenation comes from that first group independantly, with the Mavericks
and New Zealand making significant but lesser contributions. Effectively, the
island itself is publically owned by its inhabitants, but very friendly to its
two benefactors. Most news sources exaggerate the Maverick involvement, as do
many of the Mavericks themselves. Many foreign businesses have been offered
enticements to set up local holdings, including GNN, HeraCorp, Able Robotics,
Applesoft, and so on. However, business with a strong prohuman or antireploid
sentiment such as Khan Enterprises and Cray Shipping (because of its former
Mikage Intel holdings) tend to be snubbed.
The Island: Tol Eressea is an artificial island about half the size of Ireland,
located several hundred miles east of New Zealand. The two principle cities
are Bossa Nova, the nation's capital which offers a megacity setting although
it's not really megacity sized, and Verango, which offers a more moderate
lifestyle. The nation also includes a diversity of small controlled climate
regions, including a mechaforest, mechaswamp, desert, and a multilevel
'winterscape' (think Blizzard Buffalo's stage). The most impressive, however,
is 'Depth City', which is not a city at all but the inhabited level underneath
the surface island which is completely underwater and, for that matter,
completely water flooded. This aquatic environment is designed for marine
reploids but also popular with tourists for its uniqueness.

Tol Eressea: Information II Sun Aug 14 Sigma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Government: Tol Eressea is defined as a 'Constituional Principality', and
the election of the first Prince is scheduled for late September. The interim
Prince is Motor Cassuary, former Australian ambassador to San Angeles and a
prolific political author. Motor is an uninfected non-Maverick but readily
admits to having a working relationship with Sigma. The actual nature of the
government is socialist leaning towards authoritarian.
The Mavericks: The interim government includes many Maverick regulars in
positions of low authority, but high positions are held almost exclusively by
professed non-Mavericks. Sigma himself is not part of the government, but is
the 'Maverick Ambassador' and has been closely involved with the island's
construction. In general, the island is quite receptive to Maverick presence,
and Sigma himself is a popular icon and respected political voice. Other
popular but not politically significant icons are Rock and (for unknown
reasons) Mac.
Defences: Tol Eressea is a Repliforce charter nation and Repliforce is its
primary means of defence. It has no standing army or military emplacements,
however as mentioned above, much of the citizenry is combatready to an extent
similar to the Pantheon. Tol Eressea's charter with Repliforce also explicitly
allows for the Mavericks to aid in its defence. The agreement with Repliforce
permits them to construct military emplacements at their discretion. Those not
bothering to read through most of these posts should still be aware that Tol
Eressea is a Repliforce charter nation and Repliforce is its primary means of
defence.

Tol Eressea: Information III Sun Aug 14 Sigma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tol Eressea and Humans: Other than known Neo Arcadians or anyone dumb enough to
go around wearing Aztlan paraphernalia, Tol Eressea has absolutely no formal
anti-human legislation or institutions in place. In fact, the constitution is
completely silent on the matter of humans and cyborgs, referring only to
reploids (which is explicitly stated to include bioroids). Non-Neo Arcadian
humans can visit and wander the streets freely, however the very design of the
nation makes it fairly human uninhabitable. For example, other than a few
hotel chains, most buildings simply don't have bathrooms. Medical doctors on
hospital staffs, other than bioroid specialists, are also virtually
nonexistant. Similarly, while various fertilizer-derived neutriants are
readily available, organic food and drinks suitable for heterotrophs (humans)
are hard to find and sold at quite inflated prices.
The Citizens: Around 35 percent of the current population are Australian
reploids, about 25 Mexican and Latin American (mostly older reploids), and the
remaining 40 percent represent a cross-section of from around the world. The
'starting population' also includes a small number of cyborgs which most
people don't expect to stay for very long simply because they're not well
accommodated for. The Maverick presence provides free combat training and
weaponry to those interested, which many reploids take advantage of, although
combat training is not mandatory.
The Virus: The Sigma Virus is common, moreso in some regions than others. Like
the human issue, the constitution is silent on the matter. The Maverick
presence offers the Virus free to any interested reploids, but unlike the free
combat training, the offer isn't taken up extensively. Several private
enterprises offer scans and decontamination for a price. The Repliforce is
expected to offer the same services for free once they establish themselves.

Berlin Sun Oct 09 General
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Berlin is a mighty city that was once one of the most vibrant and active
sections of Germany, with a large sum of inhabitants that most likely numbered
in the thousands if not the millions. The technology was up to date, it was
known to be in the same country as the creators of the Mass Transit system for
teleportation, and most of the ancient hatred had been lost over the years.
Or one would hope, at least.
Berlin has since changed, it became MavBerlin, it has suffered battle after
battle and it has been torn apart. It is a wasteland, ruins and nothing more
than that.
Following the fall of the Spire and the release of Berlin from Maverick
control, Repliforce set up in the northern area of Berlin, making it somewhat
habitable and making certain that the Berlin teleporter was serviceable. Since
then a garrison has always remained in Berlin, patrolling and watching and
keeping the peace. The amount of crime in Berlin is non-existent. People have
moved into Berlin due to the extremely low costs of living, the free virus
scans and decons, and the free usage of the teleportation system.
Berlin Population-- 1,000 at the most. It is easily expected to be far lower
than that.
Soldier Amount-- 500 soldiers in the garrison, with room for up to 500 more.
In case of an emergency the teleportation system can easily be used for quick
deployment of extra troops.
Mentality -- Cautious. Badguys(Known) are not allowed to live in Berlin. Some
are shot on sight if they do not have permission from a high ranked
Repliforcer. Others, like Wily, are asked politely if they can leave since
shooting him would bring hell itself upon the city.
City Status -- The northern area is slowly being rebuilt. Very slowly.
Currently no known organizations are assisting in the reconstruction.
Government -- Currently it's "Repliforce protected". Whether that means that
Repliforce is planning to lay claim to Germany is debated by some.
Attacking Berlin -- Remember, the soldiers aren't weak drones. They have real
guns and real armor, and they aren't afraid to shoot to kill. Berlin is a
peaceful place, they like it like that, the actions of Floral Skunk have made
it beautiful in some areas.

Gangs of the Yakuza Sat Nov 12 Machiavelli

Yakuza Gurentai
Gurentai (Japanese for hoodlum) are the lowest echelon of the Japanese
Mafia, and recruited from the scum of the underworld. They are the muscle for
most Yakuza operations, often possessing martial arts training and decent
weapons, on par with most SWAT units. Packs of Gurentai are often led by
Tattoo Cyborgs, who have superhuman abilities and are often a Kobun or Wakashu
under an Oyabun.
HC-90
A Torontreal street gang that's lost much of its influence after the
Hunters vanquished their leader, there are still groups of HC-90 that haven't
fragmented into other gangs, holding out in the mean East Side of Torontreal,
fighting daily encroachments from the powerful Eastside Bloods. Their Zen
connections have fallen into disarray, and they mostly make their money
peddling women and hard narcotics such as crack.
The Bosozuku
The speed tribes of Japan, riding loud, super-charged bikes through
Japanese streets and highways. Often used as drug runners or muscle, they're
notorious for their flashy style and pack tactics. They hate police, and will
often attack police units on sheer principle. Armed with swords, chains,
pistols, submachine guns.
Zaibatsu Thugs
The Zaibatsu are a centuries-old coalition of Japanese, Chinese,
Korean, and Vietnamese businesses. They excell in corporate crime such as
money laundering and illegal weapons production, and often play a hand in the
production and sales of guns to their Yakuza allies, as well as others. Their
thugs are well equipped with military weaponry and gadgets, hail from military
backgrounds, and have corporate covers they can use to move amidst most
populaces. They maintain a small presence in Indonesia as well, although they
lost power during the fall of Mikage International and the Yakuza Inc. Scandal.
The Triads
Another close ally of the Yakuza, the Triads function in gangs that all
report to a regional Tong. They control crime in China with a brutal,
efficient trade in violence, drugs, human slavery, and gambling. They can be
found in any major Chinese city, as well as in large populations of Chinese
immigrants in other countries. Particularly with the invention of the
teleporter. An occasional tattoo cyborg is found amongst the Triads, although
they more often use Reploids.

Neo-Arcadian Forces: The Skinners Thu Nov 17 Sage Harpuia

-Unit Manual-
-Information on File: The Skinners-
The Skinners.
Formerly scattered bands of men and women located in Europe and Western
Asia, the Skinners have been a phenomena for nearly a decade. Renegade bands
at first. Street gangs that simply cut off pieces of armor as trophies of the
Reploids they beat up became those who removed weapons systems for
modification and use. After the decimation of Europe, the Skinner gangs became
small rebellions against the Maverick Regime. Some were crushed, others dug in
and waited for victims to come too close.
Fast Forward to Today.
A majority of the Skinner Bands in the ruins of Europe have been
transported to Aztlan. A few scattered groups remain in Europe, but more join
the Neo Arcadian Cause daily. The Skinners have obtained military ranks and
service, and have adapted to the zealous cause of Neo Arcadia. They are
organized into fifty man 'Gangs', forty-five Ground Pounders and five Field
Medics. They are housed in Barrack Buildings that are capable of hovering and
moving at a max of 100 miles per hour over the landscape for deployment as
needed.
At present there are Twelve of these flying Barracks in service, each
with a full compliment of Skinners.
The Skinner Marines are armored with mismatch pieces of Reploid Armor
they have refined into powerful body suits. Each suit of armor is covered with
gang graffiti, decals, and bumper stickers. They make use of both armor
piercing gauss rifles and napalm flame-throwers in combat. Each Skinner,
mounted on his or her right arm, has a retractable chainsaw that extends to as
many as five feet in length. The chainsaws are made of slivers of a high
strength alloy, capable of cutting through most Reploid Armor with ease, and
working on others given time. The Chainsaws, further, can emit an electrical
charge to stun and disable their victims.
Skinners are a ragtag lot of malcontents, villains, and mongrels. They
serve Neo Arcadia because an old Skinner Commander from the day, 'The Russian
Eagle' has brought them together. Medical quality is high. Life expectancy is
good. The Pay is enough to live on after the war. Few Skinners intend to stop
until every last Robot is skinned, however.
A majority of the Skinners have undergone some small form of
E-Humanizations, usually endurance increase.
The Skinners. One of the more dangerous troops available to Neo Arcadia.
Future Implementation: Skinner Scouts. Special Operations Men/Women
Skinner OCs: App away. You might have fun. OCs would be part of the
main Squad ranks within the 'Elite' of Neo Arcadia. Those who distinguished
themselves among the main core would be perfect for this position.

Neo-Arcadian Forces: The Pantheon Fri Nov 18 Sage Harpuia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Unit Manual-
-Information on File: The Arcadian Pantheon-
The Arcadian Pantheon.
The origins of this fighting force come from an elite group of a
thousand trained military commandos gathered from the corners of the globe via
old connections of President Elpizo. This elite fighting force originally
consisted of cyborgs and ride armor pilots before full facilities to enable
mass E-Humanization were instituted. Using this elite force and his four
Guardians, Elpizo took control of the Mexican Government, crushing what small
resistance there was and immediately supporting the raging anti-Reploid mobs
of that time. It is believed that Elpizo and his Guardians were, in fact,
behind the original uprising in Mexico nearly five years ago.
From the original elite force sprang the massive right arm of the
Arcadian's main military today. Soldiers became trainers and recruiters as
zealous rioters put on the Pantheonic Armor and became part of the Arcadian
Regime. Anti-Reploid movements, including such as The Children of Eve, likely
also having their sources with the President, were enveloped into the growing
army.
In the present day the army of Neo Arcadia is hundreds of thousands
strong. It grows further as new recruits rush to join this elite fighting
force as more and more disenfranchised humans join the cause of Neo Arcadia.
In only a few short years, due to the use of E-Humanization and, it is
believed, mental programming via subliminal images, the Arcadian Pantheon has
become a powerful fighting force. Clad in blue armor, the Pantheon wear masks
with one cyclopean eye in the center. They are heavily trained and capable.
Over ninety percent of the Pantheon possesses some form of E-Humanization,
with over forty-five possessing some form of combat cybernetics. A single
Repliforce Trooper, usually a match for over a dozen human soldiers, is only a
match for as many as few as three Arcadian Pantheon.
Their equipment is specialized and varied, often varied from where they
are posted and what duties they are expected to perform. Pantheon are capable
of combat in nearly any environment, and with the advanced Neo Arcadian
medical science available, even ones prominently damaged on the field can be
rebuilt with either cybernetics or cloned body parts.
Life as a Pantheon is a life of constant war, and many humans are
prepared to undertake it for the powers offered them by E-Humanization. Rumors
of the use of drugs, mental alteration, and intense psychological therapy
still are unproven. Further rumors are whispered among the populous that some
of the more vicious criminals of Neo Arcadia vanish, never to be seen again
outside of the cyclopean mask.
The Zealots of the Neo Arcadian cause are willing to throw themselves
in mass at vastly superior robotic forces to take them down. They are the most
willing and fanatical of armies, with Elpizo's will driving them ever onward.
Humanity at its most United: The Pantheon of Neo Arcadia.
Opportunities for OCs: Small. The Pantheon are to Neo Arcadia as the
generic troopers that saluted General in his game are to the Repliforce. And
the Maverick Drones are to the Mavericks and every last other Drones the RMs
have to the Robot Masters. You get the picture. They are a daily fact of the
Neo Arcadian Military, and little more.

Irregular Holdings Mon Nov 28 Leo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Irregulars have a SNEAKY HIDDEN BASE which they bought through the P.I.
Olsen Trust. It's the former Shambala facility.
The Irregulars also have a small facility outside of the Vancouver area which
the Bonnes have developed into a training facility. It isn't elaborate, but it
is adequate for the purposes of producing various numbers of Dudes as the
Irregulars need them.

HeraCorp Fri Dec 16 Sewa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HeraCorp Main Office is in Minnesota, right across the street from The Tower of
Light.
There's also one in Canada.
However, due to steady expansion and thanks to Khan Industries being buried
alive, HeraCorp has facilities across the world. These facilities are -not-
reploid production as Sewa simply can't handle more than two facility's worth,
and due to this they are rather self-autonomous, though Sewa still makes time
for suprirse inspections every now and then to keep these sub-facilities on
their toes.
Feel free to make up a sub-facility and raid it if you need a name to use for
some offices. Such raids should be defended against, but I don't mind if I'm
not personally present for these.
Assume HeraCorp generally treats its employees well and isn't building anything
illegal. HeraCorp's Main Offices still should go to me first. I don't mind
people asking about the random raids either.

SciTech. Mon Dec 26 Eugene Chaud
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SciTech prides itself, ICly, on being a safeguard of physical and cyber
information.
This is, first and foremost, what it offers, and all else is crafted around
this. Their revolutionary science industries, economic branches and suchlike
all being a result of the confidence that is put forward by them being able to
offer such security.
As a result, SciTech is increadibly anal about matters of security. Cameras are
everywhere, and Eugene Chaud has boasted that not a rat can get in without him
knowing. All information is sealed in vaults and the complex can lock out or
in anything with a word from Chaud.
The Cyber data is a veritable Fort Knox. It is not unbeatable by any means, but
certainly one of the hardest places to 'hack', certainly rarely able to crack
completely to take information from.
This strict promise to the customers, however, demands a strict working
enviroment. It is, in a way, big brother, though SciTech tries to hide this in
whatever way it can. Workers are forbidden to talk about the things they deal
with too openly, considering this is a breach of their fundamental principle
of security. As a result of adherance to this promise, most workers are given
unconditional security and highly geneous pay and other benefits, so jobs
there are usually snapped up rather quickly by qualified and quality screened
individuals.
In short, I am not as much saying that SciTech is unbeatable, not at all. We
have, conversely, had a break into our main faculity already. What I am
saying, however, is not to expect to be able to waltz in and do anything you
please.

SciTech Subsidaries. Mon Dec 26 Eugene Chaud
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Dr. Light, we now have subsidary companies that are easier to hit.
These are companies SciTech has, if you look, links to in whatever respect is
needed for a scene. For example.
Muramune - Equipment and Armament.
Datalock - Some old archived information / public webpages kept here.
Pandora - 3rd company 'unbiased' personelle record keeper.
In general, members of SciTech can come up with these to suit their needs, as
long as we don't go too wildly away from SciTech's main concerns (data safety).
That said, SciTech is THE BEAST of companies and really hard to knock about
itself. The companies it is linked to, however, are easier and you may glean
some information.

NA Outposts Wed Dec 28 Templar Fefnir
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I am tired of people attacking Neo Arcadia itself every time when there
are cool bases sitting around and being all but unused.
Naval Base Atlua
- This is along the coast at Baja California. There are submarines and troops
stationed. There was a Repliforce/NA battle nearby it where NA managed to
secure some territory back. Contact Fairy Leviathan/Elpizo/Water squad people
about it.
Fire Base Camaxtli
- An outpost smack in the Mojave Desert - a couple of tanks and vehicles, some
heavy weapons, and troops stationed here. Contact me/Elpizo/Fire squad members
if you want to know more or attack. Nothing happened here recently.
Consider them first before attacking NAHQ or the city beforehand -- and, also,
don't forget Neo Arcadia is an entire country. There's tons of stuff to be
attacked so have at it.
