NationStates Jolt Archive

I have recently developed and have decided to put into action an idea for a secret society among the leaders and powerful figures of nations in II. It will be known as the Servant Brotherhood, and will be devoted to the benifit and greater good of humanity. It's members will, at least in theory, place the interests of humanity and the world at large before that of their nation, alliance, or political ideals.

Any character that a nation wishes to supply for membership in this society will have to both hold some sort of power (this can be anything from being a prominent member of a national media, to being a govt. official, to just being very wealthy) and hold a good moral reputation to be approached by the organization for membership.

The symbol for this society will be a black greek cross. The organization is not affiliated with any form of religion, nationality, or political ideaology, though at the onset most of it's members will be Sumguaian.

So, please post with a character that you wish to have approached by the organization, or inform me if you have an idea for an interaction of some sort between the Brotherhood and another entity within NS. I will start the IC thread tommorow, and will detail the finer workings of the Brotherhood there.

OOC: Is the flag something like this?

Anyway, May Will Riddle be a member of this Servant Brotherhoood? He is the CEO of GRANT Inc. and the current president of Greal ()until tomorrow)

May President Hogart and a couple of high ranking Marine generals join? Although Hogart is bound to a wheel chair because of his bullet wound, he is an old, wise man. (59)

But you probably already know this.

The list of Generals:
Major General Alphonse O'Connor (29)
Field Commander Ingram Hasley (27)

I would like to join, but the Invisible Network already fills this role in my country of getting "the best" to join their ranks, and they don't like other puppeteers around. Plus I would suggest it to be a more grey type of organization with less definite purposes and only a facade of goodwill, because an secret society made by powerful and influential people is going to be focused on their selfish interests sooner or later.

And also, recommended readings:

A society that only claims to be goodwilled and is in reality a sinister force would be a bit too cliche for me, I'm afraid. Of course, corruption and abuse of power/station can occur after things get going if a nation should choose for it's member(s) to do so, but the organization will at least initialy be sincere in it's goal, and it's current leaders aren't going to let it's purpose and function be changed willingly.

Characters to be approached for membership so far:

Paul Riddle - Greal
Will Riddle - Greal
President Hogart - Cazelia
Alphonse O'Conner - Cazelia
Ingram Hasely - Cazelia
King Ragnald IV -Zoingo
Lord Nordith -Zoingo
Henry Macked - Calizorinstan
John (Arnold?) - Calizorinstan
Irasur Seawind - Kirav
Gal-hran - Pereine

bump

Raul Riddle, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, would like to join.

Gal-hran of the line of Valdruh, the elected voice of friendship, would like to join as well

hooray for secret societies! :)

bump. I need a few more interested nations/characters before i go ahead with the IC thread. After all, it would be kinda boring if the only members of this organization were characters that would work together anyway from nations that were all in the Hegemony or CN.
