I Love Democracy: Andia Mindesuma
FaceApp_1652815842356.jpg

Name: Andia Lurutia Anfam Trus Vimer Vesiava di Prin Sulducen Praepaques Auramius vo di Mindesuma Vaso Budilan Rimio, Empress-Listener of Nouane.
Formally she is: Her Most Exalted Majesty Andia the Illustrious of the Mindesuma Dynasty, Empress and High Listener of the Most Serene and Imperial Commonwealth of Nouane, Tyli, Rallo and Ymbris; Grand Moff of the Nouane Sector, Princess of Budilan and Protectress of the Moon Flower.
Species: Nouanese (Near-Human)
Gender: Female
Year of Birth (Age): '913 C.R.C. (42 years old)
Sector (Region): Nouane, Nouane Sector (Inner Rim)
Public Ideology: Integralist Centrist, more or less.

List of Public Offices Held:
Princess of Budilan (designated heir) - '931-'939
Empress-Listener of the Nouanese Commonwealth - '939-present

Biography: Andia Mindesuma, the Empress-Listener of Nouane, is a distant figure to many. The “Princess Andy” who many knew was the heir since her grandfather died and left it to her father was herself somewhat closed off, but when that regal hairpiece fell to her as her father died in an abrupt accident she became far more imperial in her actions, absorbing herself in her work and becoming what she believed Nouane needed. An impartial, distant, constitutional (but not ceremonial) monarch.

There are very few who truly knows the Empress. To her people, she is their distant, but impartial, ruler who dedicates herself to her duty, even if a very imperious one that has created mutterings about her policies. To Coruscant, she is the one who actively sided Nouane with the Republic and ensured that critical corridor would remain loyal. To her legislature, she is the silent manipulator, the one who (if you’re open to that sort of thinking) controls from afar what she believes to be matters of importance. The members of her Secretariat all know of her influence, but they do not protest, for it is a matter of course for the Crown to step in, and anyway all of them were approved by her, were they not?

To her cousin the Senator she sent to Coruscant, she is her dear cousin ‘Andy’. Senator Acio-Siadro is arguably the last survivor of the close family who were privileged to call her that nickname to her face. The two have considerable amount of trust in each other, being childhood friends turned steadfast allies in adulthood. This deep trust has given both of them strength when they needed it most.

Andia Mindesuma sees herself as the faithful captain of her sector, responsible to steer it towards safe waters during those turbulent times. Will she succeed?

I Love Democracy: Kaaké Lóóv
unknown.png

Name: Kaaké Lóóv (in full: Kaaké Lóóv Állísdétter Tuí Réddé, which translates as Kaaké Lóóv, Állis' daughter, of Tuí Réddé [a clan])
Species: Mikkian (Humanoid Alien)
Gender: Female
Year of Birth (Age): '921 C.R.C. (34 years old)
Sector (Region): Mikkia, ???? Sector (Expansion Region)
Public Ideology: Politically Reformist Populist, more or less.

List of Public Offices Held:
Political Campaigner - '938-'943
Representative in the Mikkian Tíng - '943-'946
Senator from Mikkia - '946-present

Biography: Kaaké Lóóv is not a child of privilege. On Mikkia, there are haves, and then there are have-nots. As someone who grew up in a slum (and even today calls herself a ‘slumdog senator’), she is very much of the have-nots. Very used to fighting for her existence, she increasingly saw any elitism as irritating. Her liberalism is firmly individual, with the state solely playing a supportive role, and must not seek to uphold corrosive social institutions such as slavery.

As one of the radical Liberals crashing into the Mikkian Tíng in the early 940s, she cut a distinctive figure despite her youth, with many firebrand speeches tearing into the conservative forces. Mikkians are known for being blunt, but many of her speeches were eye-wateringly sharp in their attacks upon the ‘landed, bloated interest’. A die-hard radical to her roots, it is widely accepted that her appointment by the head of state of Mikkia was a move to remove her from any power in Mikkia.

But despite her radicalism being still unbound, she found that she had to learn new tactics while in Coruscant. Ones more… workable. Amenable. Still resenting the elite, she quietly joined the Reformist Populists (even if she low-level distrusted the elite aristocrat leading it at that point) due to a distrust of the Libertarians and Progressives for certain issues (Libertarians were too comfortable with small, limited, government, while Progressives were too radical).

Appointed to the Action Committee in ‘947 originally due to her liking the name, she rapidly became invaluable in the position, becoming a key right-hand woman to every Action Chair, even as she grew to bitterly resent some of their incompetence. By the time a new Action Chair was appointed, she was resigned to becoming the sole sane person who gave a shit about it, with even her fellow committee members quietly resigned to their fate.

Auphi Acio-Siadro is to Kaaké Lóóv, interesting. Elite, aristocrat to her bones. Loves talking way too much and uses way too long words. But with an enviable work ethic. Many meetings noting of how the Chair just kept on bludgeoning the Committee back in… action (sorry not sorry), by the time Auphi asked Kaaké Lóóv to be her right-hand woman, she was… hopeful something would change.

In those turbulent times, can she prove the right-hand that the Action Chair needs, and lead the Committee to success?

Dreams of Paradise: Talia Hamilton
FaceApp_1657326355774.jpg

(Mylene Dizon. I think? In this picture, she's edited to be a little younger, but any 1990s picture works well)

Character Details
Appearance -
She has more of the Navosa inheritance of her mother than her father's Anglo heritage in terms of appearance. In terms of clothing, she primarily wears very fancy, or formalish, uniform. In her work in the legislature, she wears something like the above.

Character Name - Alexandra Taleah Hamilton-Vesikula. She goes by "Talia Hamilton" as a 'compromise' between her Anglo and Navosa names.

Character Region - Abercromby. More particularly, the city of Applegrove.

Party in 1975 - National Union Coalition, but seriously thinking about cutting ties due to her shifting beliefs.

Character Ethnolinguistic Group - Anglo, but she knows Navosa from childhood [her mother was unusually proud of her Navosa heritage] and she knows Spanish because she originally learnt it to impress a boyfriend and keeps up her fluency because she has a good few Hispanic friends.

Character Gender - Female.

Character Age - 27 years old. Birthday is 14 September.

History/Bio - To tell the story of Talia Hamilton is to go before her birth. It is to tell the story of Richard ‘Rich’ Hamilton and Lelea ‘Lily’ Vesikula. Rich Hamilton was from a working-class but deeply aspirant family from Charlotte, Abercromby. His father, Tom Hamilton, was a union man and deeply patriotic man who was a strong supporter of the NUC from the very start, and as his third son grew up and reached his early 20s by the time the war started, that son was encouraged strongly to join up for the war effort.

Rich, being himself a patriot, signed up straight-away with that little a push, and joined the war. He fought well, being at several major operations, and acquired a close friend in 1941 just before the Americans joined, Nete Vesikula, who he always called “Ned” or “Neddy”. Rich and Neddy became fire-forged friends, and even pledged to together after the war set up a business of their own. They both agreed that they deserved a better life than what their family used to have. Neddy confessed to Rich of his worries about his sister since their parents died just before the war and he signed up mostly to get a good income to support her. The business would help her get a good life as well.

Unfortunately, in 1944, Neddy was killed. As Rich was fighting alongside him, he was able to give his dying wishes. “L-look after Lily. Please, Rich. Look after her. She d-deserves better” was gurgled out as Rich saw his friend’s eyes dim for the final time. That very afternoon, he wrote a letter to her and promised to look after her. Lily’s letter came back, and it was quite unexpected. She accepted off her brother’s memory, and wrote emotionally of how she was devastated by the news, but insisted that, just as Nete would have wanted, she would do her own thing, be her own woman.

For you see, Pacifica at home had quite a few women being put in the factories and Lily was no wallflower, she was determined to live her own life. Thus she signed up for factory work and rolled her sleeves up, got stuck in, and worked for the war effort as well. For the rest of the war, they exchanged letters, and slowly got to know each other. When the war was finally ended, Rich came home, and after being welcomed back by his father and the family, went straight to meet Lily.

It took a while for the two to warm up in person, but eventually feelings developed, and over Tom’s objections (turns out Tom was one of those people who believed Navosa were all ‘lazy’ and bought in the stereotypes) started courting Lily. Meanwhile, he took advantage of legislation to help veterans after the war to go on to further education, dedicated to the idea of using the opportunities to fulfil the promise he made to Neddy. He would ensure that their business would happen. In 1947, Rich finally married Lily, and shortly after that, he established his business in the city of Applegrove, named H&V (short for Hamilton and Vesikula, the shortened name is to avoid unfortunate racial bias from hurting its success). Lily was employed there of course, as chief secretary. She was by then too independent-minded to accept becoming a housewife, and Rich obliged.

It was in the emerging metropolis of Applegrove one warm September night in 1948 that little Alexandra Taleah Hamilton was born. Her parents’ first child, and the focus of all their hopes that their children would experience a better life than they would. Much to Rich and Lily’s delight, H&V would experience success in leaps and bounds and little ‘Talia’ (as she became known as) and her two sisters Emily and Astrid (Rich never quite got a son, but he doted over all three of his daughters) would grow up in comfortable upper-middle-class luxury as the children of a successful businessman.

Talia, Emily and Astrid would however, get it drilled in their heads from a very early age that learning was crucial since it was education that helped get Rich to the point where he could establish H&V. Even as Talia became very spoilt, she was supplied many books and knew that independent thinking and a strong force of will were the most important things to have. The three would be very well-educated women, even if worryingly vapid at times.

Talia in particular, as the beloved first daughter, would be known for having both intelligence and vapidity in high measure. “My daughter is the person who one moment talks about Hegel’s General Will, then the next moment begs me to let her go to a party with whatever boyfriend she has at the time” chuckled her father, slightly worried about her future. Of course she would eventually inherit one third of H&V, so her financial future wasn’t in doubt, but her… career was.

A keen socialite, she was very strong at making connections easily. That was the one thing Talia had in spades, that she was extremely nice to know. Everyone liked her. Even when she went to university and encountered anti-Navosa bigotry for the first time (and bristled at it), her amicability managed to brush over most of that. Quite a few bigots were willing to go “she’s one of the Good Ones”, or even go “she’s Anglo, really, just a bit… darker”. But beneath that ditzy exterior laid a mind that increasingly was fully aware of the social implications this had.

She knew her mother was full-blooded Murimuria Navosa, but apart from ensuring all her daughters knew the language and some of the cultural customs she declined to go further. One night, back at their comfortable manor (not a mansion, just a considerably big estate), Talia brought it up in the context of people having issues with her at university, and Lelea sat her down and talked of the experience of being Navosa, and the discrimination that follows them for being the indigenous people of Pacifica. It was quite a shock to Talia. But she was now determined to do better for her people. Well, she was half-Navosa, but shush, she doesn’t look white, sooo…

After university, she didn’t get a job for a bit, and after that got a light one at H&V, but Rich grew discontented at her trajectory and told her that she would have to find a new job to ‘widen her horizons’. At that time, it was mid 1972, and there was a by-election in a seat in Applegrove. The NUC was slowly getting a bit worried about backlash from Vietnam, and the seat was noted to be one of the most annoying seats – a transitional one where there were working-class and middle-class areas. Talia was at a ‘do’ fuming at her father’s demand, when she overheard the murmurs, and smiled. She could get the nomination quite easily, right? A career in politics would be fun!

It took a while to convince her father, but he relented in the end and drew on his connections in the NUC to get her the nomination, and to be fair to Talia, she threw everything in it with a zeal not seen before. She may be normally a ditzy socialite, but she has impressive bursts of energy that proved crucial to ensuring the seat remained for the National Union Coalition. At the tender age of 24, Talia Hamilton was now a Member of Parliament for the division of Applegrove Lyttleton.

Over those next few years, she was both a partier who barely cut it back down and a dutiful MP. Turns out one thing she’s really good at is compartmentalising. If there was an election done under FPTP, and there was a strong wave against NUC, Talia probably would have held her seat, the way she cultivated a strong loyalty in her constituents, applying a very ‘British’ attitude to her work. Constituency surgeries and whatnot.

Meanwhile, she has been reading. A lot. There’s Hegel, Locke, Marx, Adam Smith, as well as the trashy romance novels, and her ideology has shifted more and more. By 1975, she was willing to admit in private that she was a socialist of some kind, and the NUC was more and more disturbing her. University friends, including those Hispanic ones I talked of before, reached out to her and got back in contact. Talia was always the moderate in an ideologically radical circle of friends – “She was the only one of our circle who wasn’t a member of the university socialist society” – but now in her twenties and as a Member of Parliament she was acutely aware of the injustice facing her constituents, facing her people, and it gave her her long overdue radicalisation.

As the NUC collapses, she prepares to make her own way in the new world in its wake. With new contacts, and some old, in her pocket she wants to blaze her own destiny.


Major Events - What did your character do when each of the following major events took place? More details on these will be providing in an upcoming history post.
- The Second World War (1939-1945): Not born yet. Father served in the war with uncle (rip), mother was a worker in the home factories.
- The Korean War (1950-1952): A child at the time, her father was establishing H&V and whatnot.
- The Malayan Emergency (1950-1960): Also a child at the time. H&V would have done very well off the economic boom being in retail and all.
- The Vietnam War (1965-1973): Father supported the war, she broadly favoured it at the time. None of her sisters joined the Auxiliaries.
- Patriation (1970-1975): Father was visibly disgruntled at Blake's insistence, being a man who was in turn shaped extensively by his father a die-hard British patriot and by his experiences fighting in WW2. Talia herself was a bit confused why it was that hard to do. She supported the idea, but was confused about the difficulty. She chose to not speak about the issue due to NUC whip and not wishing to rock the boat.
- The Blake Accusations (1975): Talia is quite disgusted by this, of course. Pacifica should be a country which government helps the people. Not line the pockets of politicians like Blake.

Character's Politics - “Politics? Hm. That’s like, a difficult question. But I trust you. I’ve been thinking a lot and I think I’m a socialist. Not a communist, I think communist leaders are bad people who really don’t read their Marx enough. But a socialist. Um, kind of like that nice man over in Britain, Harold Wilson. Like him. I don’t think the NUC is really helping this country. Ya, I’m still part of it, but… like, the corruption isn’t gonna be just him. It’s gonna be lots of the party. I’m not sure where I should be yet, but you know, like, I’m NUC because of Daddy’s connections and I have my own now, sooo… yah. What a headache. Can we talk about other stuff now please?”

Character Issues and Stances -
Government Scandals - Utmost Priority
“I, and my constituents in the division of Applegrove Lyttleton, are appalled at the corruption. Pacifica deserves better. We should have rigorous anti-corruption investigation and everything dug out.”

Criminalisation of Homosexuality - Low Priority
"Homosexuality shouldn't be a crime. Simple."

The Catholic School Crisis - High Priority
"I, like, think we need to think about this more. The focus should be on, um, ensuring everyone gets a good education. I know the Kiwis have done something like 'state integrated schools', maybe that could be something we do?"

The Closing Mines - High Priority
"We need to do an investigation and work out how to ensure the nickel industry can survive."

English-Dominated Government Affairs - Moderate Priority
"We should look at like, hiring more Spanish and Navosa people in government jobs."

Other Notes - Talia's classification is a bit strange. I placed her as Mixed-Race Anglo, but quite a few people see her as Navosa and she has some cultural identification with her mother's group, so there's a bit of Murimurian Navosa there. Most of the time, she's just Mixed-Race Anglo tbh.

CHOICE
- [NUC Member] In the new parties claiming the legacy of the parties that had combined themselves to create the NUC. The Coalition had always maintained those old divides among the old guard, and when they broke apart the newer members of the NUC followed their closest ideological brethren.

A Contentious People: Massachusetts 2020
2020 Massachusetts parliamentary election
  • Sinn Féin - 29 seats, 14.01% [The Irish party of MA since the collapse of the IPP in the 1930s. Politically left-of-centre]
  • Catholic People's - 25 seats, 11.98% [Primarily the Italian and Polish party, but not completely. Politically centrist, big on distributism.]
  • Conservative - 22 seats, 10.69% [Long since rebranded from just the 'German' party, the most mainstream centre-right party]
  • Liberal - 22 seats, 10.66% [Once the dominant party, now greatly tumbled down from their prime. Centrist, soc-lib and fiscal-liberal]
  • All-American - 15 seats, 7.34% [Profiting off stealing RSF's rhetoric and selling it to non-Irish people. Keep Boston... American!]
  • Social Democratic Labor - 14 seats, 7.04% [A merger of Labor and SPD after a collapse in both in the 1980s]
  • National Association - 10 seats, 4.72% [African-American minority rights. One of their better results.]
  • Republican Sinn Féin - 7 seats, 3.75% [A SF splitter led by the more right-wing Irish. Campaigns on "Keep Boston Irish!"]
  • Orange - 7 seats, 3.75% [No there's no Orange Order here, they just chose the name because they're basically just 'anti-Irish']
  • Country - 7 seats, 3.59% [Basically just a party for "everywhere not Boston" in theory. Mostly get votes from the west]
  • Solidarity - 7 seats, 3.39% [With most Polish Bay Staters voting Catholic, they're mostly the trade unionists at this point]
  • Communist - 6 seats, 3.13% [A very successful Communist party. That campaigns primarily on Italian-American issues.]
  • Socialist - 6 seats, 3.06% [A genuinely non-ethnic-based left-wing party? That should be illegal.]
  • Green - 5 seats, 2.70% [A primarily centrist mushy green party. Mostly just goes "no, green in our case isn't meaning Irish..."]
  • Pride - 5 seats, 2.70% [Primarily ran by a centrist gay billionaire those days, he gets a lot of tax cuts.]
  • Independent - 3 seats, 1.73% ["The party of grumpy old men who want to shout at other people."]
  • Swedish People's - 3 seats, 1.52% [Swedish minority interests. Considering the Swedes are 1.55% of the state, this is impressive.]
  • Protestant - 2 seats, 1.40% [Completely out-competed by the Orangemen, now just the evangelicals that like to be non-sectarian.]
  • Republican - 2 seats, 1.09% [In Massachusetts, "Republican" now means "Irish". The GOP has all but given up on this state.]
  • Scottish National - 2 seats, 1.03% [Mostly just a bunch of people who larp as William Wallace and scream "Freedom!". They get votes?]
  • Parti Français - 1 seat, 0.70% [Considering the French are 8% of the state, this party really sucks at getting their votes.]

Resulting Government
- Joseph P. Kennedy III (Sinn Féin, with Catholic People's, Social Democratic Labor, National Association, Socialist and Swedish People's, with Solidarity, Communist and Pride supply and confidence)
Majority - 10 (105/200)

  • National Association - 10 seats, 4.72% [African-American minority rights. One of their better results.]
  • Republican Sinn Féin - 7 seats, 3.75% [A SF splitter led by the more right-wing Irish. Campaigns on "Keep Boston Irish!"]
  • Orange - 7 seats, 3.75% [No there's no Orange Order here, they just chose the name because they're basically just 'anti-Irish']
  • Country - 7 seats, 3.59% [Basically just a party for "everywhere not Boston" in theory. Mostly get votes from the west]
  • Solidarity - 7 seats, 3.39% [With most Polish Bay Staters voting Catholic, they're mostly the trade unionists at this point]
  • Communist - 6 seats, 3.13% [A very successful Communist party. That campaigns primarily on Italian-American issues.]
  • Socialist - 6 seats, 3.06% [A genuinely non-ethnic-based left-wing party? That should be illegal.]
  • Green - 5 seats, 2.70% [A primarily centrist mushy green party. Mostly just goes "no, green in our case isn't meaning Irish..."]
  • Pride - 5 seats, 2.70% [Primarily ran by a centrist gay billionaire those days, he gets a lot of tax cuts.]
  • Independent - 3 seats, 1.73% ["The party of grumpy old men who want to shout at other people."]
  • Swedish People's - 3 seats, 1.52% [Swedish minority interests. Considering the Swedes are 1.55% of the state, this is impressive.]
  • Protestant - 2 seats, 1.40% [Completely out-competed by the Orangemen, now just the evangelicals that like to be non-sectarian.]
  • Republican - 2 seats, 1.09% [In Massachusetts, "Republican" now means "Irish". The GOP has all but given up on this state.]
  • Scottish National - 2 seats, 1.03% [Mostly just a bunch of people who larp as William Wallace and scream "Freedom!". They get votes?]
  • Parti Français - 1 seat, 0.70% [Considering the French are 8% of the state, this party really sucks at getting their votes.]

Resulting Government
- Joseph P. Kennedy III (Sinn Féin, with Catholic People's, Social Democratic Labor, National Association, Socialist and Swedish People's, with Solidarity, Communist and Pride supply and confidence)
Majority - 10 (105/200)

This is genuinely amazing work!

I think the format is also neat.

Fire and Blood: Viserea Targaryen
7a03dc6ef9d53574185492f7837f8dbad3b2e221_hq.jpg

Daena the Defiant. And no, it's intentional that Visenya and Viserea has the same fc, they look identical.
NAME: Viserea Targaryen
DoB/AGE: 17 (b. 84 AC)
GENDER: Female
HOUSE: Targaryen
CONNECTION TO JAEHAERYS: Granddaughter of Jaehaerys, youngest child of Baelon Targaryen [triplet of Visenya and Aegon]
HOME REGION: Crownlands
TITLES: Princess
BIOGRAPHY: The youngest child of Baelon Targaryen and his sister-wife Alyssa, born only two minutes after Aegon. Always known as an assertive and well-read individual like her sister, Viserea would be distinctive in how she became fascinated by native Westerosi culture above her sister's Valyrian obsession. As a child, she could easily be found with a maester telling her stories about ancient Westeros and how the Andals came to its shores, and even of Aegon's Conquest from a 'Westerosi' view. With a talent with a light sword, she would end up wielding a thin sword she dubbed 'Needle' (a quip on how thin and sharp it was), a present from her older brother Viserys on her sixteenth birthday. Being the youngest of the family, even if by a matter of minutes, and only a matter of hours before her mother died, she grew up with a determination to prove herself and justify her mother's sacrifice.

With an identical appearance to her sister Visenya, the two have entered in a quiet agreement to distinguish themselves from each other via different hairstyles and clothing. Those days, Viserea braids locks of her hair and has a long ponytail while Visenya wears it 'natural'. Always fairly close to her oldest brother Viserys and his dreams of bringing the realms together in peace. She is also close to her big brother Gaemon and it is murmured behind backs that if the Faith accepted polygamy Gaemon would have taken her as his sister-wife as well as her older twin.

Of course, nobody can deny that the person she's closest to is her sister Visenya. The two share a lot of interests and a low-lying guilt about being the ones to cause their mother's death in childbirth. She was of course at her sister's wedding to her brother, and

In terms of personality, Viserea tends to be slightly more bookish and slightly less loud than her sister, she is far more comfortable being the 'listener' of the duo, the one who takes in everything and thinks it over. With interesting dreams in her inquisitive mind, she seeks to carve out her destiny as her own woman. Of course, she'll probably be married to someone else for the sake of preserving Targaryen rule. As her brother would say "All for the family!"

Biography:
Nouane. When you hear it, you instantly think grand libraries, philosophical discourse, and temperate climate. The place of many challenges and fervent debates, up to the point where in many planets if someone is particularly argumentative, they are described as ‘nouanese’. Fiercely proud of its independence, it is told to every Nouanese that they joined the Galactic Republic of their own free will, and hence its politics have tended to be prickly on the topic of Coruscant violating the ‘planetary contract’ with other planets and sectors.

Unlike many of her number, Auphi Acio-Siadro is a quiet individual. Born to the lustrous and noble lineage of Acio-Siadros going back millennia, she was promptly enrolled into the closeted Grand University of Nouane at a young age so to learn the ideal ways to conduct a ‘good life’ and hence mature into what Nouanese dub one of the philosophical ‘caste’. Growing up in the university, she became able to engage in deep discourse and read extensively of history. Her childhood friend, and the one she regards as almost like a sister to her, is her cousin Andia Mindesuma – heir-presumptive to the throne of Nouane.

The effect of growing up in cloistered chambers of high learning is that she has become very difficult to warm up to anyone, with some other senators bitterly dismissing her as ‘a heart of ice’. Sometimes she thinks of a memory of a strange man who tried to take her from the Grand University before he was stopped, someone in strange robes. It comes up more as she walks around the Senate, and it gives her great unease. On a completely different matter, some have noted that she has an excellent reading of people, even if one she does not use extensively.

When her father passed away (or in Nouanese terminology – ‘gone home’) she became the Lady Acio-Siadro and her grandmother’s heir to the prestigious position of Marchioness of Penuvor. Elevated to the Congregation of the Nobles (one of the tricameral legislature governing Nouane along with the Assembly of the Masses and the Lyceum of the Lustrous, and the middling one in prestige), she became one of its more convincing debaters and leveraged her close relationship with the Princess-Regent into great influence over Nouane’s governance, including more funding to the Grand University and better planetary security.

Meanwhile, she continued to (as is a pastime for the Nouanese philosopher caste) release treatises, focusing very much on the idea of a ‘good life’, starting with A Treatise on Personal Pleasure and continuing with An Enquiry Concerning Social Understanding, cementing her as one of the Nobles’ foremost advocates of prioritising internal harmony over all, and firmly in the ‘social contract’ school. Some people murmur that she’s too close to her cousin, an accusation she bristles at.

When her grandmother died, she was then confirmed in the customary ritual by her cousin as Marchioness of Penuvor, the seventeenth of that title, and thus in the Congregation in her own right rather than via acceleration as her grandmother’s heir. However, three years later, her cousin (now Empress-Listener and Grand Moff of the Nouanese) approached her with the offer to appoint her to the Senate of the Galactic Republic, keen for someone she could trust completely and absolutely to represent the Commonwealth and the Sector in Coruscant. It took a while to be persuaded, but eventually Auphi gave in and agreed to her cousin’s pleading.

What would one say about Auphi, oh sorry, Senator Acio-Siadro? She keeps her office clean, treats her subordinates well, has lots of notes on her database, mostly full of her debating with herself about stances to take on the issue of the day. When around in Coruscant, she refrains from what she considers ‘vapid distractions’, and prefer to live in a well-to-do area, however she keeps it relatively austere only having the ‘bare necessities’ – food storage, a bed, a bathroom, and a ridiculously large library where she can be found some nights reading or hearing some data.

What does it mean to live a good life? To her, it necessities you act with the greatest benefit for everyone involved, not just you. That you live your life morally and ethically, prioritising your mind above all, and conducting a good internal harmony between all your aspects. And yes, sometimes it means trespassing the official legality to maximise the long-term benefit of all. At least that’s what she sometimes says to herself when she makes a dubious agreement…
Philosophy. It isn’t everything. It has taken way too long for Auphi to realise that. As the Republic continues to spiral out, she feels more despair than ever. Even as she valiantly stands up in the Senate chamber to call for peace and a return to the Ruusan Reformation values, she is increasingly worried of the growing power of the Republican Government she has helped feed, and despair that it will only be completed in its push to centralise everything to Coruscant.

With many Senators already joining the boycott, and she did a low-key ‘diet boycott’ last year when she left for Nouane after submitting all her customary votes, the Senate was for a few years struggling to keep her attention. It was always her worst quality, her cousin said, her tendency to panic over nothing and be engulfed by such feelings. And there wasn’t just nothing here. There was everything. The very survival of the Republic, the unity of the entire Galaxy, was at risk!

And then there’s the headaches of course. They come and go, but at moments of extreme emotional despair (like what is happening more and more) they prove extremely unbearable. Even the best pills and medicine can only take the edge off. Even chanting “mind over matter” doesn’t help.

Despite all this, she valiantly continues to fight for what she believes in. Which is still the survival and everlasting glory of the Galactic Republic and every one of its sectors. But in those waning days, is that just a flickering candle about to be put out? Certainly, she has her doubts.
=====
It is easy to be a philosopher when life is good. It is not when life is hard. As a noble, Auphi has never known hardship. Until now. She thought it would be an easy chat with friends of hers who joined the boycott, many of which she knew for years. Doors shut, insults thrown, allegations made, even death threatened. One chip after another on her psyche, from people she believed friends. It all led to her just collapsing one day and doing stuff she regretted.

Eventually she was brought home to Nouane and to her cousin who made sure she was recovering. What is friendship? The Philosophic Society still stuck to her, of course. True friends there, Senators who she grew to admire and respect when she was working with them, and turned out they her too. And then there was surprising kindness from areas she never expected. Auphi was a widely respected Senator who many on all sides admired (or at least used to), and when in recovery, she received a letter from Sirona Kuat.

A while later, the two talked, and discussed – not the experiences she had – the ideas the two had for the Republic. Still shell-shocked by Determinist hostility, she latched on to Kuat’s words and absorbed them. Determinism was now something she at a deep level hated with revulsion, and Kuat’s words about a caring state, an integral state, appealed to Auphi’s Populist tendencies. By the end of the visit, she felt that the two agreed on more than disagreed, and parted in good moods.

When she arrived to the Senate a while later in far more sombre and serious attire than her loose noble dress of past years, she informed Kuat of her intention to defect, and got a nod. The next day, she announced the renunciation of her loyalty to Ruusanism, declaring herself a Centrist and an Integralist, to more shock and murmur in the Senate.

Auphi finally knows her direction. It is to save the Republic and make it a safe and secure place for all the ‘thousand points of light’ in the Galaxy.
Auphi Acio-Siadro. Once a naive woman who dreamt of saving the Republic, she is now one of its executioners. Once a desperate Sith acolyte, she has now ended the Banite Sith seemingly for good. Once someone seemingly powerless in a capricious Coruscant, she now dominates it as one of the Triumvirate. Fourteen years has changed her extensively. She now wields power by her very position as one of the future Empress’ ‘inner circle’ and member of the so-called Camarilla – one of the Sith puppets that turned on their masters and cut their own strings.

But let us not be deceived. Even though she looks much changed, and stands much changed even, there is consistency to her. Her philosophic library is still extensive, her speeches still talk of the ‘highest principles’, and behind all that immense power still stands an unsure woman. Just one more confident than before. This is still Auphi Acio-Siadro. She has not been consumed by the Dark, even as the Force wrought its great cost to her.

Upon her Chancellor informing her of the plan, she is promptly writing a book to provide the philosophical justification of such – her Treatise of Government. In it, she will write of the importance of Social Contract, of the limit of liberty and the danger of licence, and ultimately of the importance of maintenance of a government that preserves stability in which the Contract is preserved. Therefore, in this era of instability, the move that preserves the Contract the masses has with their government and ultimately their Chancellor, is summed up in one word: Empire.

Indeed, with Empire, there will be no more instability. Only the Empress, her Government, and her People. All as one indivisible trio. The Empress looks after her People and restrains her Government, the Government serves the Empress and the People, and the People uphold and maintain the Imperial Contract in which they enjoy Liberties [but not Licence!]. The justification for Empire will be rooted in not the military, not the rot of the old Republic, but in something far purer – the General Will of the Imperial Nation. On it rests the Imperial Contract and all fundamental legitimacy of the Empire’s government. The Empress rules by the People’s Will.

And of course, the Empress will have her trusty duo behind her. How can an Empress rule without her Grand Vizier and her President? The Senate, reliably Amidalist due to Falk’s cracked electoral arithmetic that even a brain like Auphi’s couldn’t comprehend, would need to be led in chants of praise. She was their conductor. Not someone who forced them, no no. Someone who guided. Forcing people to do stuff were… something she didn’t like thinking of. Too… green. She shuddered a little at the thought of that woman.

Never mind. The Empire will be here. The Sith are done, their legacy dried up. Stop thinking about unpleasant stuff. Think of the future. Think of her future. Including her coming wedding. Funny, she never really thought of herself as a blushing bride, but even as she’s deathly pale, there’s a little red showing. Perhaps the future is brighter and less full of the dark than before. Who knows.
====
In Search of Empire
As Empire is rolled out, Auphi’s Treatise of Government will also be published widely with a strong philosophical justification for Empire, wrapping itself in the ideals of Social Contract. She will use it extensively to hammer home how Empire is in the interest of every sentient being. She will flex every muscle and every political connection, including night-long debates with her own Society if need be, to get every Senator to vote to abolish the Republic. She however, will refrain from actually corrupting their minds with the Force. To her, that is admitting defeat in the battle of ideas.

The Conductor of 'Democracy'
Her main role, of course, is to be the ‘great conductor’. The one who presides over a Senate that is supposedly a heated debating chamber, but actually quietly restricts such debate to how the Empire should do things, not if the Empire should exist. Padmé’s rule is undisputed, everyone must accept it. Otherwise, well, Falk’s arithmetic will mean a sudden defeat come the next election, oh dear what a shame.

Unions, corporations [the few that still exist], business interests, Core, Rim, the growing factions in the Amidalists, what have you, Auphi will seek to maintain the Senate as a coherent body of 'genuine' debate, avoiding the shouting matches of old, but ensuring that it remains a firmly loyal chamber which loyalty to the Empress is never in doubt. One can disagree, but one's loyalty will never be questioned.

An Advancement of Learning
Her magnum opus, of course, will be the Academies. Thoroughly based on modern ideas of education, all archaic ways of learning will be swept away in favour of a rigorously formal machine. People will enter the Academies and they will be made into whatever perfect cog the Empire wishes them to be. Bureaucrats, lawyers, soldiers, even Imperial Knights, all will be produced by this rigorous model.

The Force Academy will be the pinnacle of her achievement, the final modernisation of Force education, throwing out the old monasticism of the Jedi and the secrecy of the Sith, in favour of a modern education, regular classes, a boarding school structure. The sort of education that Auphi, deep down, wishes she could have had.

The Power the Sith Knew Not
As the years go by, Auphi’s interest in the Force will grow only deeper and more esoteric. Already dubbed the ‘real Chosen One’ by Anakin, her desire to understand the Force that supposedly chose her will intensify, and she will go on expeditions to long-abandoned Jedi temples to dig up secrets, including lost Jedi holocrons. Those holocrons will help influence a shift already starting under the surface since the year she realised that all Sheyi wished from her was pain and sacrifice to fulfil Sheyi’s dark twisted fantasy.

One year, full of doubt, she will go to Atollon upon hearing from someone that a ‘powerful Force user’ was there. It is there that she will meet Bendu [not connected to the Order of Bendu, apparently] and have a talk. One between the giant Force user that declares himself the balance and the one chosen by the Force to uphold that so-called ‘balance’. She will leave Atollon more sure than ever at her future path.

All the way through this, she will repeatedly train herself extensively in all arts of the Force she dubs fitting for someone like her. She wishes to be a powerful being, but not for any material gain. But merely to protect herself, her family and her Empress [if need be]. At that point, she sees it as a partnership between her and the Force.

Bringing Balance to the Force?
Upon reflection on the destructive nature of the Sith and how it runs counter to the ideas of Empire, Auphi will proceed to set up a program designed to end every Sith holocron in existence [apart from the one Padmé has, but she hopes that one isn’t serious]. There will be an official secret agency set up under her directly to deal with ‘counterimperial artefacts’, including Sith holocrons. [Auphi will fail since Leia needs one to corrupt her, but the aim is really to wipe out most of them].

She will also, when her power is ready, go and deal with this other acolyte floating around. There shouldn’t be any Sith left. She ended Apollyon, she would have ended Savius if she could. Maul will fall to her sabre if there is no other alternative. If he is open to parley, she will listen, but be wary. If he attacks, she will attack back.

Nemesis
Of course, she has an appointment. There will be one final duel. She has already decided what she will have to do with Atio.

Very excellent stuff.

I hope she's happy in her marriage?

I Love Democracy: New Republic rundown - '995 C.R.C. / 34 I.C. / ''02 N.R.C. [WIP]
Factions in the New Galactic Republic - '995 C.R.C. / 34 I.C. / ''02 N.R.C.

Corporatists | Corporate Interests (#00cc00)

The ones that are just here for the Big Corporations' interests. Not doing as hot as they were during the Old Republic, since the combination of being fucked over by the Empress they tried to fuck over, and then being gutted by the left-wing consensus in the New Republic, really did reduce them a lot.
- Pragmatists | Corporate Interests, Galactic Efficiency, 'Consensus Democracy' (#00cc99)
Currently making a LOT of cynical deals with a lot of people, including using old contacts from before the New Republic to maintain political influence. It is rumoured that even the Authentic Liberals and Patriotic Republicans have secret Pragmatist contacts
- Libertarians | Libertarianism, Marxism, Militant Pacifism, Corporate Interests (#99cc00)
Also with the Pragmatists out of desperation, this is the last legacy of Marxius Grouchosius and the Utopians. Far more esoteric than the Pragmatists and far more die-hard on opposition to the 'Big State', they are nevertheless unblemished when it comes to discussion of 'past influences'.

Syndicalists | Trade Union Interests (#e60000)
In contrast with the Corporations, the trade unions just flourished. A combination of the Empire liking "Economic Management" theories of combining the interests of Big Business and Big Labour, and the small unions led by Tarawan's heirs being key to the Resistance, means that they're sitting quite pukka.
- National-Syndicalists | Trade Union Interests, 'Economic Management' (#b8312f)
Big Labour. The gruff no-nonsense leaders who shook hands with Republic, then Empire, then Republic again. As long as their workers get their due, they're not fussed who's in charge. Very much those days for stability, seeing future war as a potential harm for their people.
- Radical-Syndicalists | Trade Union Interests, Democratic Socialism (#eb6b56)
The radicals. Tarawan's passionate heirs, the sort who fights for the small folk. Tends to be Rim as contrast to Nat-Syndies' Core, but the boundary isn't clear. Very republican, and distrusts the Nat-Syndies a good bit, but the two come together unfailingly to defend the interests of trade unions.

Populists | Social Democracy, Social Liberalism, Republicanism (#9365b8)
Out of all the old Republic's factions, this one has emerged in the new the healthiest. The faction of Cali Juveil and Frei Magnus, it has basically set the tone of the New Republic as an unashamedly radical one, albeit one with uncomfortable compromises made by New Progressives...
- Redeemer Populists | Radicalism, Federalism, Juveilism, Republicanism (#ff0066)
REPUBLIC NOW, REPUBLIC FOREVER! The 'Juveilists' as the Redeemers are also known as. Fiery, radical, republican, and passionately for the new system. They're the ones calling for more socialist economics and for forcing all Senators to swear an oath to "the forever Republic, one and indivisible".
- New Progressives | Social Democracy, Republicanism, 'Consensus Democracy' (#ff944d)
The Civil War and its high death toll has driven some of the Resistance to a more 'conciliatory' stance. The dominant Populist faction, they are the "can we get along" sort even as they are firmly republican and socialist in economics. The sort to shake hands with Lukists but grimace while doing it.
- Reformist Populists | Social Liberalism, Technocracy, Republicanism (#cc66ff)
Still around despite having the whiff of collaboration with them. The Redeemers loathe them for being insufficiently socialist, republican and what have you, and a good few of them were first in politics through a woman who betrayed everything for Empire. So yeah...

Republicans | Republicanism, Conservatism (#0066ff)
The sort who thinks the New Republic should be like the Old. Or at least not as socialist as the Populists want it to be. Really adores the idea of Ruusanism, even if their actual policies are far from it in practise. Very much opposed to any restoration though.
- High Republicans | Republicanism, Fiscal Conservatism, 'Consensus Democracy' (#75c7f0)
The aristocrats and localists, the ones who just want a Republic that doesn't interfere with local rights, even if they no longer talk of restoring the right to slavery. The sort to go "if we have federalism, we must respect it" and oppose any Populist attempts to force through centralising stuff.
- Patriotic Republicans | Dansionism, Republicanism, Militarism (#0088cc)
Now the Patriots on the other hand. They're basically the right-wing equivalent of the Redeemers. Virulently republican, to the point of questioning democracy if it is perceived to threaten the Republic, they despise the fact monarchists are in the Senate. The final legacy of Andrian Dansion.

Authentic Liberals | Liberalism[?], Conservatism, Right-Wing Populism (#708da9)
Liberty. Civil Rights. "Rehabilitation" for war criminals. The sort to come in the Senate wearing their old imperial uniforms and then speak of the dignity of labour and how of course they respect the New Republic, declaring themselves "post-imperial". Liberal? From a certain point of view...
- Establishment | Liberalism[?], Right-Wing Populism, "Post-Imperialism" (#4d6780)
The more obviously post-imperial sorts, the ones who barely hide it, and even wear medals they can get away with from the Empire. The ones with dubious connections with other ex-imperial factions that if you only look at the ideological labels, they shouldn't work with.
- Bright Young Things | Market Liberalism, Conservatism (#709ac2)
Arguably the more disturbing Authentic Liberals. While the "Establishment" are transparently just the ex-imperial sorts wearing the old 'liberal' branding, the Bright Young Things are the sincere believers, arguing for civil liberties and what have you, and a stronger state to enforce those...

Imperialists | Monarchism, Restorationism (#9b4b65)
The people who dislike the fact that there's a Republic back again. They want the Empire. The problem is that they massively differ on what sort of Empire, and considering how that disagreement originally sparked a Civil War, there is no love lost between the two factions.
- Lukists | Constitutional Monarchism, Statism, Conservative Liberalism (#bf4080)
The ones you'll find in the Senate, for they do recognise the New Republic is a legitimate thing, even if they mutter about the dubious way it was founded. They dream of Luke being put back on the throne and Empire being done right. Broadly the more 'reformist' faction of the old régime.
- Leianists | Autocratic Monarchism, Statism, Counterrepublicanism (#800040)
Hate the New Republic? Think the people on Coruscant are just laughing at you with their socialist ways that are designed to upset tradition and how things should be done? Think the Lukists are betraying the Good Old Cause by acknowledging the illegitimate state? Want to kill people? Join the Leianists!

City of Gonks and Dreams: Kimiko Tanimoto
image.png

Name: Kimiko Tanimoto / 谷本貴美子 (TANIMOTO Kimiko)
DOB/Age: 11 May 2004. Or so she's told. That would make her 21 years old.
Role: Corporate
Gender: Female
Religion: *makes all the necessary gestures to her family's traditional religion*
Ethnicity: *opens mouth* *closes it with a frown* *furrows brow*
Cyberware:
Reflex Boosters
Cyberaudio
Cyberoptics
Trauma Team Subscription (Executive Level)
(Reduced) Bodysculpting [Anime Theme]
Political Offices/Occupations: Primarily a socialite and employee on behalf of her family and the FACS, focused on PR work. The media finds her adorable.
Political Party: Democratic
Home District: Upper Eastside
Biography: Well...
  • Zack Lee was the friend (and one-time gay lover) of Tanimoto Soma and was part of Tanimoto Soma's efforts to acquire a job for himself in the 1990s with FACS. As part of this deal, Tanimoto owed Zack Lee one big favour that would be called in any time.
  • In 2009, Zack Lee got in a car crash with his wife, and as part of his dying statements told the doctors to call Tanimoto and tell him that his debt was being called in - he would have to look after Lee's child, named Kimball Lee.
  • Tanimoto Soma refused to change any part of the name of his new child out of desperation to cling on to his friend's memory. So the child grew up in the dysfunctional weirdness of the Tanimotos yet had a name that marked them as different. This bristled them.
  • At some time in their early teens, they discovered that well, she was trans. Meanwhile, she was relatively hidden away due to the Tanimotos wanting to reduce as much attention or controversy. This was something that caused her to sympathise with Michiko Arasaka a good bit.
  • When she was 16, she was kidnapped by a posergang with an anime theme hoping to get some money out of it. They were aiming for her sister Tanimoto Sora but somehow kidnapped her instead. Her father refused to pay the money, sure that he could save his kid with the police.
  • Well, he did. But he got a daughter who looks like an anime girl instead of the kidnapped boy. Some tense words later, an unplanned coming out and Soma relented. He was never someone to cause tension in his family, especially as Sora backed her sister up. The only condition he asked of his daughter was that she was still 'Kim'. Kimiko agreed to this, even as she formally scrapped the last of the vestigial 'Lee' name.
  • Even as the anime bodysculpting was quietly reduced over time [her eyes doesn't look as big as they used to], she still looks vaguely cutesy and this proved a boon when FACS was looking for someone to do PR in NC. Kimiko appeared and with her father's endorsement, got the job.
Reconstruction- "I of course support the continuation of Reconstruction. We will see this city rise from the ashes anew."

Reunification- "We should seek to ensure whatever is done is done in the interest of Night City."

Mega Corporations- "I dream of a cordial partnership between the FACS and the people of Night City."

Cyberware- "Moderation is the key, is it not?"

Law and Order- "I hope we can see the restoration of peace on the streets."

Poverty- "It's quite awful. I have made some donations to Michiko Arasaka's soup kitchens myself. We really should help the least fortunate of us."

Cyberpunks- "Sigh. What they're doing is not really what we need now. We need to move away from rebellion, towards co-operation."

Nomads- "Them?" *shrugs*

AI- "Cautious optimism is always a good approach to this matter."
