It's January 1st, 2016. The world is full of tension, armed conflicts springing up all over. The fighting in the Middle East, the refugee crisis in Europe, the gangs and cartels in Central America. Everywhere you look, someone's fighting over the crumbs left by the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviets, using weapons distributed by both sides of the conflict and fighting under ideals instilled in them by their sponsors, even now, a quarter of a century after it happened.
No one knows who you are. The world at large has no idea who you are, but they will, sooner or later, they will. But how, and for what, is entirely up to you.

You will need to fill out two sheets to join this game. A character sheet for your villain (This will be the character you roleplay with) and a faction sheet for your evil organization. Post both at the same time and I will approve or deny (with critiques to make acceptable) in the thread.
Character Sheet:
[B]Name:
Alias/Pseudonym:
Physical Description/Picture:
Age:
Civilian Profession:
Focus/Specialty:
Biography:
Evil End Goal:
Augmentations/Abilities:[/B] (Minor powers, cybernetic augmentations. No straight up magic, you have to be able to explain your abilities with science. Villains are meant to be stronger/smarter/better than your average human, not immortal or omnipotent/omniscient)
Faction Sheet:
[B]Organization Name:
Alias/Pseudonym:[/B] (Only have both if you're running a front. If you're running a front operation, your Organization name will be your public name and this will be your actual faction name)
[B]Evil Industry Focus:[/B] (This will grant a bonus to certain things. Pick 1 focus. This can range from general research to specific focused research, military, actual industry, etc. Use the real world as your template. The more focused/refined your specialty is the bigger bonus you get to a smaller scope of actions)
[B]Organization Color:
Organization Insignia/Flag:
Location:
[/B]
Once you're accepted, I will send you a private message with how many minions you start with (everyone starts with 12) and ask how you'd like to distribute them. I will keep personal files on each organization, and much of your doings will be kept private. A LOT of this roleplay will be via private message so if you have PMs turned off, TURN THEM ON and I highly recommend turning on the "save sent messages" feature. The world map will NOT be used to display villain headquarters. Instead, it will be used to show hot-spots for the previous 'turn'.
This roleplay will work pretty organically. There is no true turn. You roleplay your character in the thread and I control your minions, your guards, your researchers, and the governments. Anything that isn't you or another player I control. Eventually you will get Henchmen that you will control yourselves, as your influence grows. Lay out plans in the thread, act on them, and I will determine your success and how the governments react. Any actions in this thread is considered non-public unless agreed upon between other players. Spying and bugging enemy villains will be possible ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT WHO THEY ARE based on success chances, so be ever vigilant for traitors!
Once a day, or as often as my schedule allows otherwise (sometimes once every 2 days or more. Depends on how busy y'all are) I will post a 'turn'. Each post I make in this style represents 1 month in the game, and will detail everything that's happened since the last one. This is also when your research projects, production queues, and expansions will take place.
Remember to keep me updated on what your organization is doing. Research, production, and expansions should all be PMed to me in this format.
Research Projects:
(1 project per 5 scientists, can devote more scientists to make a project research faster in groups of 5 scientists)
Production Projects:
(1 project per 5 engineers, same rules apply as above for making it faster)
Expansion Projects:
(1 existing base expansion project per 5 basic minions. Same rules as above apply. You must devote at least 50 minions and 25 engineers to establishing a NEW BASE and must have at least 20 minions of any kind to dedicate to it)
((When do we start? I'm going to bed atm and was thinking of filling out the forms tomorrow morning.))
((As soon as I have at least 5 approved villains. But I don't plan on closing the game to new players unless I get a huge flood of characters.))
Let's get lazy, everyone.

Pigrism Having accumulated resources through his profession as a nutritionist (something that his father before him, and his father and so forth, were) and his hobbyist part-time acting, he secretly founded the Rotten Society, with the intent of making the world lazy! Since founding the society, he has begun tinkering with the ideas of making inventions to further his cause.

Biography:[QUOTE] Born on March 16th in the year 1960 in the small village of Sucleia in the Moldavian SSR to a family of Ukrainians. In 1980 he joined the Soviet military and fought in Afghanistan. After returning home to an incredibly poor country he decided he needed to do something about it. From 1982 to 1991 he and a group of [URL="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZKTbetvQ7rj-ZAnUJ7NWMXqpPxo5-RpRt6gN0htHqTs/edit?usp=sharing"]close friends[/URL] (primarily fellow Ukrainians) started a small gang in order to traffic guns and drugs from Moldavia into Romania to make easy cash. After the Soviet Union dissolved, the Moldavian SSR was put in a bad place, the majority of the country was Romanian and wanted to unite with Romania but a significant minority of the country was either Ukrainian, Russian or [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gagauz_people"]Gagauz[/URL] and these minorities wanted unification with Russia. War broke out in 1992 between the Moldovan government and the Transnistrian secessionists and the war was won by the latter due to the intervention of the Russian military. The Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic's (aka Transnistria) independence was secured but crime rates skyrocketed as the young nation lacked any real police force and the economy was in the toilet. The Russian and Romanian mafia would make Moldova and Transnistria a battleground as guns, drugs and people were trafficked daily out of the country. Pymonenko did not fight in this conflict but sold guns to the Transnistrian Armed Forces and [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_National_Assembly_%E2%80%93_Ukrainian_People%27s_Self-Defence"]Ukrainian volunteers[/URL]. His gang quickly became one of the most prolific crime rings in Transnistria. Trading opened with the Russian and Ukrainian mafias and large amounts of guns and drugs flowed east to those gangs. The Transnistrian Police, due to their lack of funding, bribery and apathy, were incapable of tracking down the mysterious mobster known as "Boris". In 1999, Pymonenko founded the Transnistrian National Unity Party and gained a large support base from the poor and disadvantaged rural population. Behind the scenes, however he sold drugs and guns to them causing death rates from overdoses and gun violence to skyrocket while simultaneously promising the country that he'll end the crime problem. Outside of Transnistria, primarily in Moldova, Pymonenko is seen as a career criminal and is incapable of doing business in multiple different countries. Russia however firmly stands behind him and a large amount of the disadvantaged population does too. Currently he has a large majority in the Transnistrian Parliament and is running for President in the coming election in December.[/QUOTE]
