Heh. Okay. So this is the second time I've lost the list of members for the Society of Shadows. If you aren't on this list, post and tell me. If you want to join the list, post and tell me. I'll be reposting information about the SoS again later.
Also, I have been brainstorming and reading several topics, and coming up with a bit of an idea for the Society, that involves a third world war and all nationstates who wish to participate in whole. More info on that coming later.

OOC: What exactly is the SoS about? What do you do...?

The Society of Shadows
Societas a Umbras
Sodalitas de Umbras
The Shadow Society
<Plot loosely based on The Prometheus Deception and The Acquaitaine Progression.


Leader: Lord Richard Gaius Zorag (Risban)
Ruling Body: The Circulate of Seven
Home Base: Near the Grand Imperium of Risban


The Society of Shadows is, basically, a super-secret spy organization. It is made up of all sorts of individuals, from a president or king to a common solider or CEO. Every intelligence organization within every nation that the Society operates in has been infiltrated, people in their highest ranks being members of the Shadow Society. An example of this is Risban's Ministry of Intellignece (AKA The Prometheus Group), whose deputy director, Marcus Janus, is a powerful member of the Society of Shadows.

The Society of Shadows exists for one purpose: Domination on a global scale.
The masterminds have a genius plan... A plan that will destabalize all governments and give them complete control of the world, where they will establish a universal oligarchy and rule everything. (Yeah, a cliche, I know...)
The will do so through blackmail, extortion, bribery, assasination, manipulation, and all-out war. The Society of Shadows does not distinquish between communist or capitalist, fascist or libertarian, democrat or autocrat. All are part of the conspiracy, working towards a common goal... The common goal of the leaders, that is. Many in the Society are fiercly loyal, willing to die for anything. Why? Because of their ambitions. The Shadows manipulate others by promising them victory over their own personal goals. It is because of this that, until most recently, the Society of Shadows was not considered real.

Everything is touched by the Society of Shadows. At least that's what the rumors were. For nearly a decade, intelligence agencies globally laughed at the existence of such an organization. I mean, honestly... No one has enough power and devotion to command such power as they supposedly did.
But, after terrorist attacks aimed at the Risban Empire, causing a total halt of the economy, people began to believe the rumors. The Internet, the thing that so many communications and businesses rely on, was hacked into and cut off to the Grand Imperium of Risban. Following this, the aiport, Imperial Palace, Golencian Embassy, Xenizen Embassy, Green Sun Embassy, and the Nehmic Embassy were all attacked, suffering several casualties. Martial law was declared, but the terrorists got away.
Soon after, the nation of Muru launched a plan to destabalize Risban's economy again. They caused several riots and released a flu virus into the Grand Imperium. The riots were quickly put down, and the international community came to the aid of Risban. The Muruian threat was quickly stamped out. While no proven link between the Society of Shadows and the government of Muru existed, it was speculated that they worked together.

Recently, it has been noted that the Society of Shadows has taken interest in the Xenizen Civil War, aiding the revolutionaries. Their sources are untraceable, though it is believed that all orders in the Society of Shadows are coming from top government officials...

A member of the Society of Shadows is usually one of the following: soldier, general, admiral, colonel, intelligence agent, assasin, senator, chief of staff, CEO, police, police chief, member of parliament, judge, author, news anchor, revolutionary, party leader, ect.
While not as common, heads of state (kings, presidents, emperors, crazy dictators, ect) are within the folds of the Shadow Society as well.


The Leadership of the Society of Shadows:
The Circulate of Seven
The Circulate of Seven is made up of the most powerful members of the Society of Shadows. These are the ones who call the shots, and will benefit most if the master plan falls through. The head of the Circulate is Lord Richard Gaius Zorag. Most members represent their organization or country (Zorag represents the Zorag Company and the Empire of Risban).


The Ambitions of the Society of Shadows
In short: Global domination.
Through tools mentioned above, they plan on taking over the world and being seen as heroes for doing so. They wish to start World War III and destablize the ruling bodies in the world. Then, after already gaining control of many government functions, their generals will march in with their armies and put down the chaos, restoring order... Their order.

Bump...

The Society of Shadows is looking for the following:

1. Nations with connections
2. Organizations with connections
3. Strong political/military leaders to lead.


The Circulate of Seven
1. Lord Richard Gaius Zorag (Risban)
2. (Green Sun/Black Sun person-- Need a name)
3. Kimiko A. Moua (Kimiko Ayasugi married Chong Moua of RB) (The Real ALM)
4. (A Phalanix delegate- Need a name)
5.
6.
7.

And one top representative from each major nation involved. The rep can be a military leader, businessperson, or politician.

(There a way to get involved without going to war?)

(There a way to get involved without going to war?)


Yes. There aren't any wars really planned in the near future. The Society just needs more funding and presence in other nations. It has been doing it through Risbanian trade and diplomatic ties, but wishes to branch out to get out of the eyes of the suspicious Risban Ministry of Intellignece.
So, just have a politican or businessperson or two in your nation, or connections with an organization, is alright.

Ah so thats where this went. I waited forever for something IC to pop up but I get the OCC again. Meh but I was in involved in the original planning and the Military Council (military leaders) were linked

Bring
Up
My
Post

Bump for interested people. Questions? Ask them. Interest? State it. Want to join? Say so.


I shall try having an actual IC meeting topic up soon.

Okay! Sorry for the delay.
I shall have an IC meeting topic up in approximately five hours.


The topic will be open and take place in an undisclosed location somewhere near Risban (most likely one of the many "uninhabited" islands). It will be open, but only people who got invitations may come. (To get an invitation, your nation/organization/group/ect will have to be a member of the SoS).

If you wish to join the Society of Shadows before the meeting, post here. I'll approve things before starting the topic.
If you wish to join even after the meeting has started, just ask here and I'll approve it. Once approved, you've received an invitation.


When applying to the Society of Shadows explain what part of your government or organization, if not the whole thing, is connected with the society. If you just have an individual person, name him/her. Also name your highest rank Society member in your organization/nation. You have to send at least one of your top 3 SoS officials to the meeting. (You can send others as well).
The meeting will be discussing plans and such.


So, read about the SoS in the first five posts of this thread and then tell us if you're interested.

Brenden Boiton, Head of Bellania's CIRA (Central International Relations Agency)- He's a former Industry head who moved to government after key maneuvering by the rest of his organization. They have ties throughout the private sector, and hold low-level jobs throughout the rest of the government. Boiton is the highest placed official in the government, and as such is the head of the organization.

So the meeting's going to be approx. 11 P.M.?

Approved, Bellania.

Haha. That would be great.
And Hamanistan is more than welcome in.

Well, you see, we're planning a Cold War, and the Risbanian Civil War is an excellent chance for it to heat up. Heh. Cold War heating up.

6. Cardinal James Kliptnock is assasinated.
7. Charles Regulus MacBryan, High Imperator of the Courts, is assasinated.
8. Terrorist attacks are made on embassies in Risban to lessen Risban's international influence.

Of course. Nation representative?

Well, I'm not sure if this thread is the right place to discuss this. I made a short post in the SoS IC thread. Note I only have two delegates to the SoS, but those two are the only important ones.
((That and I don't have names for most of the members of my government :P))

Of course. Nation representative?

Major General Hillary Mojarro, Chief of War Plans for the Royal Army of the Kingdom of Romandeos. She's a former Royal Army Chief of Intelligence as well, and has several serious connections in that organization still.

Romandeos.

It will be discussed at that meeting. Zorag will give a general update and basically orders and such for what to do. His first goal will be taking over Risban, because it will make doing more for the Society easier.

It'll all be talked about IC'ly. Heh



Romandeos:
Excellent choice!

My thanks to you, Risban. I try to do my best.
