Theo Anders and the Black Exaltation[Worm/Exalted][Hiatus]

Realtalk tho, not really sure why people are expecting Hookwolf for Kreig to actually do anything crazy like sending somebody after Sabah because well, it's kinda easy to forget the fact that as long as he doesn't fuck up hugely, they're going to be pretty darn loyal to him thanks who he's related to. Like, Kreig was already trying to curry favor when he was Theo via Rune, simply because of the fact that he was Max's son and he might stop being useless one day. Maybe.

The Empire is actually pretty unique in that we have the advantage of basically being part of a dynasty, so we get a huge advantage in things that wouldn't be fine for the average mook simply because people would give us the benefit of the doubt. Also, lets be honest here, if the Empire is fine with the rumors of Kaiser being involved with both of the twins, I highly doubt that they'll have much to complain about if it's known that Sabah likes to join us and Amy, hence why Max specifically mentioned getting her a beard (or being it for her).
 
[X] Plan Evil

[X] You are done with the party, you'd like to head home. Aster can be exhausting and you have to watch her all day.
-[X] The battle is won, and you are in a position of nearly perfect strength. It's time to leave, for two important tactical reasons: first, so it looks like you're more important than all these losers who are staying to the end of the party -- and you're leaving with a lovely young lady on your arm, which can only help your impression -- and second, so none of the fools you've defeated takes it into his drunken head to seek payback. Let your lessors fight their frustrations out amongst themselves. You are above such matters.

~ Stunt ~

I came, I saw, I conquered.

The words reverberate in your mind as you look over the party as though it were a conquered battlefield: the furtive glances of Castle Panacea, her gate open and her draw-bridge down. The smoking crater that was once Dean's self-esteem, now just a cloud of toxic dust, and the reverberations of shell-shock showing on his forlorn face.

Your allies are still too strong, too independent. You will not risk alienating them by dangling your stealth lesbian infiltration bomber before their unwelcoming sensibilities. You will wave to Victor and Othala, but not join their company.

You are not yet peers with the PRT, nor do you wish to attract their attention. Really, you want no attention from anyone at the PRT until such time as you have already won your inevitable conflict. That will be a fight for another day. You will not even wave at Rennick.

New Wave is sufficiently conquered for the evening. From your Father's lessons in marketing -- both legal corporate deals and criminal extortion -- you know not to talk after closing a deal. Right now, you and Sabah are what Panacea and Glory Girl anticipate. They hunger for us. Our unavailable absence only sharpens that hunger. You want her hunger sharp, her needs overwhelming, her judgement impaired.

You do not wish to risk our current very strong position in Amy's heart by trying to flirt with her cousin in front of her. That conquest may come at another time. For now, leaving is our strongest -- and cruelest -- move.

And so you do move, with grace, with strength, and with cruelty -- from a nobody into a position of power; from a boy who was pitied, into a man who is envied.

You leave early, with a lovely young lady on your arm. Half the party wants at least one of you. Every eye follows as you exit, and the music plays less vibrantly for your lack.

Plan Bii was updated! with a second stunt for the departure! :3

[!] Stunt for Farewell, so long...
Veni
Vidi
Vici

When all was said and done, you had accomplished much this night.

The battlefield that was the ball was one that you had made yours. You had claimed the contact information of many a girl, and more... a good number of their underwear. You had bewitched Panacea, a castle that had yielded and would now submit in the future.

Your enemies had been brought low.

You had made advances upon New Wave, and while the Harpy's mother didn't see you as something to be hated like your father, she was still somewhat defensive of her adopted daughter... and yet, you had gotten her to allow possible dates to happen. More than that, you had made a relatively good impression upon New Wave. A miracle, some might say.

But now, it was time for you to depart. It was getting late, and you had promised to look after Aster on the morrow.

Thus, you wave at your peers... Aaron and Ophelia, at Jessica and Nessa. You nod politely at your father and make your way out.

You leave early, with a lovely young lady on your arm. Half the party wants at least one of you. Every eye follows as you exit, and the music plays less vibrantly for your lack.
 
[X] Plan Snake

[X] Aaron and Ophelia are available They seem to be doing what you and Sabah were previously, though with much less focus on hormones, and more of a focus on gaining political connections.
-[X] Afterwords, Suggest to Aaron and Ophelia whether or they feel like going somewhere else that they think would be great for the four of us to really party.After all you were going to be seeing your future brother and sister in arms, maybe this is the best time to truly get to know them better when their hair is down.

~ Stunt ~

"My name is Nobody"

That was who you literally were before you came to this Party, though you called yourself Nemo to the others.But it was just another word with the same meaning.But tonight was your night to be reborn and shined at this party like a god in those stories your father used to do at bedtime in the good old days before things got bad....

Don't ever look to the past, but towards the future. You have risen above your peers and thanks to Sabah, have cut your name and image in the hearts and minds as a man to be respected. earned the favor of the great Panacea, learned patience by listening to your elders speak of the daily ills that plague your city and have possibly gained your father's respect.

You have become a prince but you have few friends, no supporters or even part of a faction in the Empire.Tonight is the night to build bridges in every aspect of your life academically, socially, romantically and career wise in business and costume.You speak to Sabah about introducing her to a couple that are close friends of the family.

You introduce her to Aaron and Ophelia,who have been busy cutting a path though the party like you and Sabah to build up their social contacts.You and Sabah have a lovely chit chat with the pair and ask them if they feel like leaving the party and having a night on the town to go really wild.

...........................
This was the best i could do considering how tired i am and how bad i am at writing. i'm going to clean it later and i'm up for better suggestions.

State of the Empire circa Exaltation
"[T]hough i think me and the readers need some clarity on who is a crew boss with their own faction in the empire besides Hookwolf and Kreig and who besides Fenja and Menja is in the Anders loyalist camp." <- Came up.

Power flows from Kaiser in the Empire. Right now, the Empire 88 is more circles than factions.

Kaiser at the top, followed by Krieg and Viktor(The Captains if you will). Both are loyal to the Empire, but Krieg has the most direct ties to the Gesellschaft(His greater loyalty). Fenja and Menja are arguably at this level, but they act as bodyguards and agents of Kaiser's will for the most part, they don't really advise or anything. Viktor takes the space Krieg did for Allfather. Krieg is the older advisor loyal to the (dead) Grandfather, Viktor is the younger advisor loyal to the Father.

Othala is kinda in weird political spaces. She has a lot of worth, being a Trump who can heal. Rune is her closest relative, and Rune kind of falls into the same space, due to her age and relation to Krieg.

The rest sort of fall into Lt type positions, and are a bit more ground level. Hookwolf, Cricket, and Stormtiger all hang out, and 'work' together. Crusader is loyal to the cause but his heart aches at the missing Purity (who would be a Captain in her own right, due to her power levels (over 9000) but likely without a whole lot of troop support). Alabaster (and Crusader) is a bit more involved on the street level because of his power, so a lot of the mooks know him. Night and Fog are really loyal to the cause but are retired and loyal to Purity before Kaiser, but more loyal to the cause than Purity.

Hookwolf and his friends are probably more loyal to Kaiser than anyone else in the organization, but that's because Kaiser is charismatic. Hookwolf heads up the 'lead enforcer' type position and is the 'kill sponge' for the organization. He has the highest personal kill count followed by Stormtiger and Cricket, who are pretty equal in terms of kills.

Hookwolf is the kind of guy who would be a cop if only to abuse the fuck out of the position and hurt people. He's a so-so leader in the modern age. Back in ye olden tymes, he'd be given a decent command, a few dragonships and sent a viking. He believes, and the cause is what allows him to be big, mean, and powerful. Stormtiger and Cricket fall into the same boat. They -are- racist and have always been, but it's more about being in a position of power for them(Even if they don't realize it).

If Purity left town, Crusader would probably follow.

Alabaster is not fond of Krieg at all, and usually works under Viktor.

... I don't recall much of this coming up in canon, so I could have some details messed up if it did.

But Theo will jump straight to a position of power. He is expected to inherit, and so everyone expects him to start getting leadership jobs right off. Mostly his commitment to the cause will be questioned, if anything. It would behoove his initiation kill to be brutal from capture to kill. Or have really good words about why animals deserve a quick clean death. Everyone kind of expected Theo to join the Empire if he did trigger, despite his previous distaste concerning the cause. That or run straight to the PRT ASAP.

Word has already reached the other Parahumans in the gang, that Theo triggered and is joining the Empire. Most of them will figure he won't be pulling a mole plan, if he debuts with the Empire. If he runs, that's when they'll start having issues, or if he starts trying to make the Empire not white-supremacist(Honestly, they'd, in general, probably be alright with if the Empire went KKK WN style, but you'd lose a lot of Gesellschaft backing.). Kaiser is going to have an extra few eyes on Theo. Or have the ones he already has be a bit more attentive than usual.
 
I believe that the best Intiation Kill to obviously be a PARAHUMAN... because fuck that nonsense about killing some mook citizen... anyone can do THAT. But a parahuman kill? Yeah... different ball story.

So... who to kill? Or what group to fight and kill from? :3

ABB?
Merchants?
Undersiders?
Out of towners like the Travellers?
Independent Villain?
An upstart Hero?

Clearly it should be Coil, so we can combine it with Lisa's loyalty quest.
