Well, I dont know if anyone else feels like doing it or no, but the idea is this.

The Quintessential Evil Law Firm. A group of Lawyers that serves the needs of the forces of darkness. Why I got the idea? Been watching too much Angel and I am like: Why not start a sigil branch of Wolfram and Hart or something similar XD

If this goes through any, it can easily work as a player-run faction, similar to the cartel.

You would have the CEO, managers/leaders for various departments, such as research, public relations, "Wetwork" and various others, and then the underlings/mooks. And they would be as I said, an evil law firm, negotiating/enforcing contracts, being defense lawyers and such. Of course for the side of evil.

If people are willing and such, feel free to let me know. It may be a bit selfish, but I will make the CEO since I am the one trying to coordinate such. Characters must be either evil or have leanings towards such. Chaotic Evil though would have to have a good reason as to why they would join.

As for if you want to do it or not, they would have to be new characters, and I would like to know who is doing what, and what sort of position they would like to do. List of the major positions would come at a later time.
Characters
-Moriarcis: Lvl 20 Necromancer
-Ordethus: Lvl 20 (21) Telepath Warlock/Alienist
-Orionis: Lvl 8 Dirge of Tiamat
-Zaed Nahalis: Lvl 28 Hextorite Blademaster
-Skor Addamar: Lvl 22 Ex-Collector
-Ven: Lvl 9 (10) Old School Assassin
-Vai'aian: Lvl 18 (20) Zerth Monk

I already have a shady lawyer with a thriving business... but his clients are mainly Consortium and Cartel members. Don't think I could pull another one off ;)

Although he's always looking to expand his "Legal Branch" of the Consortium :plotting:
Charles Goodman - owner of The Consortium and Chairman of the Syndicate - Indep and Merkhant
Daniela Nokomis- "The Enclave" - Vampiress, The woman in White, Soul Stealer, Merchant
Garen Seph - Fraternity of Order B3

@ Darkrob: Yeah I know how that is. He could be a useful contact.:plotting:

Well, finally got to work on the various departments and such. So far I have the following.

CEO -> Management -> Workers
That is the power structure anyways. Similar setup to the various faction anyways, with a twist. The big decisions and such, would be brought up in meetings, which would be the CEO and Management, and would usually be decided in a vote.

As for the departments, so far I have the following thought up.

Lawyers: Self explanatory really.

R&D: Would basically come up with new stuff to use, items would usually be RPed I think. Some would be magical, some not as such, usually weapons and such using mechanisms (Think Mechanus Crossbow and similar.) The big crafting department basically, and would have to have crafting knowledge of some sort to join.

Department of Loremasters: Would be the department that deals with planar knowledge, and such. Even esoteric knowledge that few would know. A high lore skill would be a necessity, as well as magical skill ((summoning, rituals and whatnot)). They would also be the sort to collect artifacts and keep them in the vault.

Wetwork: Espionage and Assassination work.

Public Relations: Their job is to keep up the facade of a 'good' company image as well as to network and such. High Charisma and social skills/knowledge would be nice.

Security/Enforcers: Self explanatory, the thuggish types used for coercion, acquisition of artifacts, bodyguards and such.



As for more ground rules and such. Characters can be from any race and be from any plane. It would be a multi-planar organization, so character hooks to get them in could be location transfers and such. The companies current goal would be to establish a foothold in S.I.G.I.L. , potentially making it into their new headquarters.

I will be taking suggestions on the company name though, so feel free to make suggestions.

More ideas for it would be nice as well.

Why not? Hildmor already turned it into Moscow.
We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

Well, just more stuff to add to it.

The starting members of the group would have to be evil, after getting established some, there would be an open application, because you know, a well oiled machine of evil needs its servants.

As for the my character, Debating either eldritch Knight or a mystic Theurge build.

As for any other ideas relating to this, feel free to make such. Main reason I do want to do this is to open up more RP opportunities, and perhaps offer something in which events and such can play off of. ((If it all becomes a reality, I am definitely thinking of honing my toolset skills to make an HQ of sorts.))

Well, when I am back from dealing with IRL stuff, I am thinking of trying to get this started again. So whoever is interested let me know somehow.

As for requirements other than what was stated in the original idea, can be tweak around if need be. Just because a character is low level doesn't mean they can't join.
They don't have to be new characters, unlike what I previously posted.

Doing it all in the hopes of eventually opening up more RP.

Yeah, would be interesting, give a 'new' viable base/platform for evil characters to get a footing/legal support. That is part of the concept of it after all.

I already have my character for it though. ((Is being a PITA to get him to where he needs to be level wise though. He is more or less an RP character after all.))

As for why I am on a break. Funerals always come in threes for my family for some reason. So Traveling quite a bit.
