In some ways, the guildfall was a blessing. It makes it harder for my original 2009 RPing to be found...

Bio

Aeronautical Engineer
Irish
TV and Film addict

Been here on the guild since April '08, seen a lot of change but still love it. I've been on and off, I've GM'd fantastic projects and train-wrecks, it all comes with the territory. I once tried to make a YouTube ad for the guild because I'm slightly insane. In a weird place with the Guild right now, seems like so many names I knew are gone, but more than happy and ready to meet new people. Been writing casually for over a decade, a lot of that practice has been here. I have some small short sci-fi stories printed in anthologies but those are so heavily edited they don't even feel like mine any more.

When not on the Guild I'm most likely working, playing FFXIV or the Souls series or (insert recent must play video game).
Anyone with a passing interest in sci fi needs to read Saga by Brian K Vaughan.

Uh huh that's true, I did want something more original than xenophobe.
The Transorganic Alliance Party



Aside: The Flag of the All Party; The symbol of the all party, the Zomay represents the three pillars of the party, and the state. These tenets are Innovation, Revolution and Security. The Zomah is emblazoned on a blood red black round that symbolises both the Transorganic blood spilt by the former Imperium but also the necessary evils committed by the All Party to carve out a place for its members. Also adorning the flag is a section of the first software programme written that successfully mapped a sentient mind and translated the information to a computer. The programme’s section is represented in an updated binary format. To the All Party it represents their history and paved the way for all manner of Transorganic revolution and advancement. It is often referred to as the ‘seed’.



Brief History
The Transorganic Alliance Party, commonly just referred to as the Party, or the All Party began life as a political movement in the Arcturus Imperium several decades before its collapse. The movement was started among middle-class traders and among former veterans and current soldiers. These people shared one thing in common, what they as 'forced' cybernetic augmentation at the hands of the Imperium. Whether physically forced as part of their service or economically forced by circumstance, the founding members of the All Party fought for the rights of the early transhumans. The All Party accepted humans and non-humans alike calling for a new societal integration. It was however, a difficult fight to have in the oppressive Arcturus state. The Imperium began cracking down hard on the Party and overtime began punishing regular citizens for even a murmur of collusion with the organization. This dogmatic crack down only fanned the rebellious flames amongst the oppressed transhumans, leading to greater angst.

Necessity called for greater measures and over the decades the Party became associated with more radical movements, eventually becoming synonymous with transhuman terrorism. Although terrorism is an act, not a cause, many looked past the growing militant ambitions of the All Party and flocked to its banner across the Imperium. As more and more people felt the biting need to transcend their organic shackles, the influence and threat posed by the All Party grew significantly.

The Imperium’s difficulty proved to be the Party’s opportunity. For years it had laid dormant, working secretly, communicating through back eddies of the intranet, organising plotting and waiting. As the great collapse of the once so grandiose empire began, the Imperium crumbling under the weight of its own arrogance, the Party saw its opportunity to strike. Thousands of transorganics took up arms and revolted from within as the Imperium struggled to survive against attack from the outside. The largest part of the uprising took place on Vastoria, an industrial powerhouse of planet that was key to the Imperium’s shipbuilding and computing industries.

Within weeks Vastoria lay in ruins as the numbers revolting rose from thousands to millions. The Imperium faced an insurmountable challenge in reclaiming the world already stretched thin across all fronts. It set its sights on larger dangers and abandoned Vastoria to the All Party who renamed it Valhalis, an old word for paradise.
As the Imperium was vanquished the All Party became the sole leader of Valhalis and began spreading to the two other inhabited worlds in the Wolf-337 system, Jargen and Halfor, since renamed Anhilt and Saarstun since peaceful Party occupation nearly two centuries ago.
The All Party has since spread beyond Wolf-337 but only has minor colonies and stations outside their home system.

Species: Transorganics

Official Doctrine Of The Glorious Transorganic Nation Of The All Party said

The next step in the long history of evolution, we are unbound by biological shackles. Our thoughts are not limited by organic constraints. We are nothing more than our consciousness acting through a vessel. You the glorious people of our nation are among those who have seen the truth; we deserve only the finest vessels. Those bestowed upon us by nature are fragile and inadequate when we have scientific truth, knowledge of a better life. We are not classifiable by the archaic nomenclature of outdated organics. We are transorganics. We are the future.


Nation Traits
Perks
Disciplined~Loyal~Efficient
Underneath a veneer of freedom and rights the All Party is as dogmatic as the Imperium was only it uses far more subtle yet more effective methods. The Grand Council has the ability to systematically manipulate the software of any and all citizens, but it finds it more cost effective and satisfying to use more old fashioned methods. From the day a child is ‘born’ in the birthing labs to be delivered to successful applicants to the PAT (Parental Aptitude Test) to the day it dies, it is bombarded by propaganda disguised as truth hidden in the robes of free market advertising. The All Party is just and the true, the Grand Council is all knowing and righteous and organics are destitute, primal and evil. This creates a military that is unwavering in cause and a populous unflinching in support.

Naval Force
Valhalis’ history as a naval outpost and manufacturing powerhouse of the Imperium meant that from the outset the All Party had access to resources necessary to make it a noticeable naval power among the countless fledgling factions left in the ruins of the Imperium.

Flaws

Free Thought
Recently more and more outside software has begun making its way into the All Party’s domain. This external manipulation encourages individual thinking and in recent years revolt has begun to become an issue. Although the general populace is acutely unaware of this.

Traditional Or Outdated?
The biggest secret within the All Party is that the Grand Council member that sit today are the same ones which sat when the All Party came into its own. The bi-annual elections are an elaborate government hoax. Thus leadership in the Party domain is stagnant. Despite their intellectual advantage over organics, it still means that it is only the same individuals in power and fresh ways of thinking or radical change is nigh on impossible.

Xenophobic
The All Party has an irrefutable hatred of organics, derogatorily ‘squishies’, and thus has quickly earned a massive amount of hatred itself.
Slightly above medieval.
