[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Smartman91 this is going to be a BIG LONG STRETCH but it made sense while i was sleeping earlier. !!Warning!! Wall of text approaching The middle of the dead orbit symbol resembles the 7th letter of the hebrew alphabet, "Zain" when translated back to English it reads "M" so im thinking of the dead orbit symbol with a large M in the center. standing for "Mother" or "Main referencing the planet, that the alleged "space craft" found in the pictures from another thread; would be orbiting. If it is indeed large enough, a faction could have based themselves off of this space craft. Maybe its a station, or a failed attempt at space colonization. or maybe theyre from space, extremely advanced in terms of technology compared to the rest of the planets inhabitants. plot wise, maybe the whole planet was united at one point; and they all pitched in to explore the stars, but the program went horribly wrong; and somehow split the united world into these factions. All of the worlds nations form the "Destiny trust" a united cause with the sole purpose to explore the stars and ensure the survival of their species. A catastrophic event happens upon launch and leaves the craft disabled a sizable chunk falls back to the planet and creates mass havoc. The larger portion of the remaining space craft remains inhabited by the people selected for the job, and they form dead orbit. the only space faring nation on the planet. while limited in numbers, they have at their disposal some if not all of the most advanced technology their race has ever created. the ability to strike anywhere and everywhere with out warning. after all it was the rest of the planet that left them all to die up there in orbit. -New monarchy could be the largest remnant of the destiny trust, enforcing their reign over a large populous with am iron fist. -Osiris, maybe a smaller following perhaps their leader is a "prophet" or someone whom predicted or knew that the destiny project would fail. -FWC it is possible that all of the people are separated based upon their beliefs, but FWC just seems like more of a power hungry techno kinda of people. just based solely on [url=http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg71/EnragedTemplar/FWCv2.png]their logo[/url] - and lastly of the groups that we know the Seven Seraphs, could very well be a faction of people ruled or governed by a supreme council of seven. I could very well be onto something here, or this could all just be a bunch of hooplah. [i][b]but none of this is confirmed. I repeat the previous 2500 character paragraph is all made up.[/b][/i][/quote] FYI: I pulled Destiny Trust out of my ass. I was trying to scrounge for more possible factions cause I thought there would be seven. also, I gave an alternate back story to each faction...
