Day 9 - Who's in charge here?
Who are the major movers and shakers in the campaign?
Who are the major movers and shakers in the campaign?
As this is a WIP campaign setting, we have another question here for which I have a general plan but not necessarily the specifics. You might call it the skeleton of a plan. Just the bare bones of it. Some bits of lore bouncing around in my skull.

So...there's an oppressive force in the setting...vaguely governmental and driven by profit and power. I know them right now as The Corporation.
And then, based on the Fifth Moon of Elysia, there's a rebellion in effect. I'm not completely sure what they'll be called, but I like the idea of tying anarchism into it, since that word gets such a bad rap.
It seems important to give The Corporation a face, since the Big Bad™ was one of the defining features of '80s adventure animation (and most cartoons meant to sell toys, maybe...?). I'd like to follow the trend begun with Skeletor up there and arguably continued with his She-Ra counterpart. (Even though, yeah, I realize Hordak's face isn't necessarily bone, even if I don't really know what it is. He does have a very skeletal fashion sense, however...)

I know if I widen the space fantasy scope a bit (beyond MotU) I'll find plenty of non-bone-associated villainy, but this seems like a good place to start. (And even non-skeletal examples like the Thundercats' archenemy Mumm-Ra can have an undead theme going on...) And I like the simplicity of the names: Skeletor. Hordak. In Blackstar, there was the Overlord.
Therefore, the being who is keeping an evil, undead, iron grip on the Elysia system shall be...
Necronimus
Image to come...at some point...I've gotta think about this one! Whatever his or her final form, I do think one of the images from this Game-icons.net set might be a reasonable symbol for them...
Hmm...skeletal bird head guy...?
