The Blood Dragons

[gezza999]

Okay... since I've not seen you today, I'll just post... I'm still convinced this proposal can be improved to a more... interesting, vision of how the Blood Dragons should be, rather than just conforming to the black and white alliances that most factions now have... As I'd said in PM, I didn't address all the issues in one post.

My main concern now, is the ranking system...

Taishogun
The head Shogun. The Taishogun is the leader of the Blood Dragons. A direct descendant of the original Shogun Hideyoshi, the Shogun has access to all ships and commands any Blood Dragon Officer. No person is to set foot upon any area 100 feet away from the Taishogun's presence without the Taishogun's permission. No person other than the Shoguns is allowed to know the Taishogun's real name. (Only one person may achieve this rank at any given time.)

Shogun -
Welcome to Tier 1. Shoguns are the Military Commanders. Often known amongst Kusari Unlawfuls as the "Rising Sons", the Shoguns are descendents of the other Shoguns of old Kusari and are chosen from among the elite Shogunate. The Shoguns command every ranked officer within the Blood Dragons and may use any ship. No person is to set foot upon any area 50 feet away from a Shogun without the Shogun's permission. (Only two people may achieve this rank at any given time.)

The idea that you're going to rule the whole Blood Dragon faction, with one of the few remaining direct descendent of Hideyoshi under your control, it's a little... over-ruling, of anything any other faction can do. It would basically be what you say, or execution.

You've mentioned the "Rising Son" but you've also used "Blood Dragons" through out... it's a conflict.

I'd say stick to the "Rising Sun" idea, dropping the references to leading the Blood Dragons.. you can have elite members, sure... Just not the leader of the whole NPC faction. It'd be more reasonable to have the leading rank of the "Rising Sun" as a Shogun.

To adopt this "Rising Sun" idea, I'd also change the tag... ]bd[ doesn't seem disimilar enough from [BD], BD-RS|? RS-? This request needed a little more time...

This requires a change in the back ground story, but not a complete overhaul.


You've also not included the its I've said about the HG... i.e. it was a 101st-eqsue Blood Dragon faction, we certianly did -NOT- do any piracy. The only "piracy" we did, was asking people to drop whole cargo-holds full, to destroy it, which was only because we could not, at that time, simply destroy them. We only did this in Chugoku. Neither did HG "die out" entirely, we re-merged into NovaPG.

Initially, it was due to the fact that Exile and I wanted a different vision of the Blood Dragons, we re-merged due to chronic inactivity, though I would've simply deleted the character had NovaPG not repositioned since the split to attempt to emulate the vanilla Blood Dragon faction as well as possible.



The GC side of the coin has also not been addressed... I think pipboy was in agreement over the issue, honestly, it'll make the Kusari unlawful scene a -lot- more interesting and a -lot- more accurate... Simply having them as allied would lose the Blood Dragons in the PR department in Kusari. Certainly enough to make them extremely wary of any attempt to do such a thing...
