@Prostagma: Um, her choice. ^^;

Shadow Eternity's official motivation is to take down the UMMA and destroy their influence across the multiverse, so they do have one that's not just "evil".

... When the Leader's actual motivation comes out I imagine there WILL be a lot of splitting and chaos on their end though. Which should be fun.

The UMMA's meant to be fairly clear-cut, though. Not that there's not going to potentially be bad people trying to game the system in it or something like that. But as a whole it's intended to be fairly straightforward.

Still, I do think there's potential for non-combat stuff, which I think is helped by the factionless characters.
