Working for Big Brother
This thread is about a series of games in which players are hired by RM-113, a Greatest Controller in the ranks of Big Brother, one of the many factions in a dystopian future where no ties of the old world exist.
This future is one in which nuclear fire cleansed the earth of all governments, laws, and borders leaving a blank slate for the survivors to etch their story into.
While these are not the only nations of the land, they are the most active in the region in which players shall go.
- The first faction is New Rome, a loose confederacy of cities expanding over several of the new continents bound together by an ever growing hunger for resources and even hungrier gods. There being few guns in the land, and those that exist, far too expensive to operate, New Rome has decided to take it back to the basics and train their men in an ancient imperial Roman fashion and win by the folds in their armor and the tactics in their heads rather than the numbers to their rear or the technology in their hands.
- The second faction is Oasiana, an even farther expansive empire than New Rome operating under an Oligarchy of nobles, barons, and lords. Their forces consist of anything from peasantry with pitchforks to colonial era redcoats who know that while they might not have the greatest weapons or the strongest men, they have the sheer numbers of men needed to fight any opponent.
- The third, and most illusive, faction is known as Magnus Frater by the New Romans in their tongue and as the Dark Ones by the Oasians who live in only a few visible cities that lack all color and minimize architectural creativity through their famous Grey box method, is Big Brother. Anyone planning to visit his cities should plan to have their minds eroded into dust as the walled hell produces energies that even the high priests of New Rome can barely explain. They utilize the most modern weaponry and technology available to produce the most awe inducing army made of flesh and blood this world's ever seen. However, unlike New Rome or Oasiana, they have no known origins and their cities (like their enemies) seem to appear and disappear as the moonlight does. Few who are attacked by this malevolent force are ever seen again, assumedly turned into a dreaded controller: a man infused with wire and circuit to such a degree that he is more machine than man or brainwiped to be a standard conscript.
- Another factions of note is The Wanderers, groups of scourging raiders that have no alliance to anyone besides themselves and their pack. While not a unified fighting force by any means, they are useful in that they will sell out anybody for a price, including their fellow wanderer
