CREATING THE SPY FACTION, PART 2: SPECIES ORIGIN

Reply

Time to move ahead with our vote on the future espionage faction. The results for its type are in, and by a significant margin, you have voted that they should be an alien faction!


This means that they will be a non-humanoid species, and that's the first brick we're laying in building this new faction, together. Now, we're moving on to the next step, the faction's origin.


Ancient, Endless, Modern


Ancient means a faction that is as old or older than the Endless, and hasn't been shaped or tampered with by them. Examples: Riftborn, Allayi, Drakken

Endless means a faction that was either created by the Endless or engineered by them, or a side-effect of their existence. Examples: Cravers, Morgawr, Cultists, Hissho

Modern means a faction that came after the downfall of the Endless, and whose existence isn't predicated on the Endless. Examples: Sophons, Lumeris, Unfallen, United Empire


The above are of course only examples, and of course, each option's icon is only there as an illustration of the concept, and not as a representation of the faction's spirit or culture, so...


Vote for the idea, not the silhouette.

But the drakken were tampered by the endless, made into God figure for their species. I do however enjoy the idea of an ancient race that grew up during the reign of the endless and stealth could be a reason they survived as long as they did. For that reason I'm choosing ancient.

A modern civ is common in the space games, but one that have a link with the backstory of the license is interresting.

Aww, i was hoping for a community creation contest! Oh well, but my idea was accidentally created by the endless, so I’m gonna stick with Endless.

Since the Allayi are my favourite Endless Legend race follwed by the Drakken, going to have to say that Ancient Races always just have that stigma to them that makes them enjoyable to play because their lore is so deep. 


An ancient Alien spy faction that even managed to spy on the endless without them noticing

An ancient Alien spy faction that even managed to spy on the endless and steal some of their technology without them noticing, that sounds good

Voted Endless because It could expand the lore on Endless civil war. Maybe a spy "thing" created by Endless just for espionage purposes.

It's possible they mean that the Drakken were simply Uplifted as a species without requiring too much in the way of tampering like you see with the Cravers, Morgawr, Cultists and etc who were created practically whole cloth by the Endless or significantly altered like the Hissho.

I was thinkng that a faction of slaves who rebelled against the endless, similar to the Faceless Men from ASOIAF,  would be really interesting.

How about something that was accidentally created by the the endless? Something that, while living by its instincts accidentally came to sentience, and forced this sentience upon its own people?

A faction of former aliens emerging from a long sleep and discovering a galaxy entirely unknown to them. Sounds like fun for a faction based on espionage.

This will not be a creation contest, not the way the Unfallen were created. This will be more akin to the way the Eyder minor faction were created, where we'll ask questions regarding specific important points, and your choices will guide our hand!

Voting for Ancient - I think it will add nicely as a faction predating Endless and not being much influenced by them... Lost? :P

Ancient. No question. Better chance of better understanding the Endless.
