Reviving the Aoi Iseijin

[Corsair]

Read this thread by Akura to get the context of this thread

The Aoi Iseijin were the Kusari branch of Das Wilde back in .85 that died out due to inactivity. There were several factors that led to this, which I won't go into here; however, the faction had strong roots lore-wise and a fairly expansive population.

I have been looking at reviving the Aoi Iseijin (I was a member before I left Disco in .85) and making it a less intimidating force in the eyes of other players. The goal of the faction would have to change from sneaky subversion to outright warfare, which makes the entire faction's dynamic different from what it was before. With the war between Sirius and Gallia in full swing, the Aoi Iseijin have a unique opportunity to expand their motivation to fly.

What I'm looking for is collaboration with the Das Wilde of Rheinland to hammer out a solution: Previous members of the Aoi Iseijin who want to see the faction return should also join the discussion. These will be our goals:

• Finding a way to increase activity permanently
  
• Finding a way to keep the faction from being seen as 'elitist'
  
• Working out a new lore that will be accepted as Discovery canon
  

The Aoi Iseijin have a lot more to offer than just PvP, and I think that we need to establish some hard-set RP guidelines to avoid the widespread distaste that was directed at the Aoi Iseijin in .85. I am serious about getting this off the ground, but one man ain't a faction.
