  1. Might as well do one of these thing myself.
  2.  
  3. With the coming of the alien power armors obviously spawned a new way to wage war, and the more nations who wanted to use them the greater the market for mercenaries who could acquire them, by whatever means necessary. Outer Haven is one of these, a private mercenary corp based out of Africa from the states, seeing war as a way to profit and stimulate economies.
  4.  
  5. Primarily using the Suits and various Unmanned drones spawned from this new technology, they seek to dominate control of the market from currently existing companies, through quality and efficiency. While heavily out numbered and generally fresh, recruits are guaranteed the "Family" rules and protections. No man left behind, no unheard voice, and plenty of opportunities to prosper.
  6.  
  7.  
  8.  
  9. There will be child corps with independent cells, goals, and leaders, driven all by their own motivation. The parent company, Sons of Liberty, will be there to provide a guiding hand, lest you be cut off by doing something not approved, and eventually spawn into something greater.
  10.  
  11. We will be free men in our own right! No one shall tell us what to do or who to follow, and we will make a pretty penny on the side. The parent company will also be based primarily on light scouts and infiltrators, not unlike a terrorist cell, with a subset of heavy suit strikers.
  12.  
  13. More to come.
  14.  
  15.  
  16.  
  17.  
  18.  
  19. Origin:
  20. Outer Haven has become a byword for suit based private security contracting, a household name across the world. But before all that, there was Cobra Tactical Solutions. One of the first entirely suit comprised mercenary units, Cobra totaled just 9 operators, working together to handle some of the roughest fighting of the reignited African bush wars. Their leader was the legendary pilot Liberty, known to all as simply 'The Boss'
  21. On one fateful mission to protect a Shell operation in Nigeria, Liberty was finally killed, dying in the blast of the destroyed refinery. Her final transmission, a standard letter of farewell to her comrades, and a manifesto. A dream of a place where they could live free, and as they chose. No longer fighting for their daily bread, but for whatever they chose to believe in. On that day, in the shadow of the raging inferno, Outer Haven was born
  22.  
  23.  
  24. Leadership
  25. Currently Outer Haven exists as the parent corporation for several large private military/security contractors, encompassing everything from rear echelon support to actual front line fighting in war zones across the Earth. Of all the suit founded factions, Outer Haven as the largest number of non-suited members at its disposal
  26. The actual leadership is comprised of a flexible council, headed by 6 of the original 8 members of Cobra. The remaining seats belong to the largest companies under the Outer Haven umbrella, as well as the representative of Haven's own intelligence service
  27. Politically the leadership are currently divided along the 'Patriot' and 'Philosopher' lines, with Patriots seeking to fulfill The Boss' dream no matter what the cost to Haven, and the Philosophers who are more focused on immediate profit and stability rather than rash nationalism
  28.  
  29.  
  30. Public Relations
  31. Outer Haven quietly acquired stock in various PMC's and emerged as a market leader virtually overnight. Since then they have maintained cordial relations with world governments, assuring them that any previous contracts they had with existing companies will be honoured, while expanding their services to include the hiring of suit wearing operatives. As of now, Outer Haven are a fixture in just about every ongoing war on Earth
  32. Outer Haven have several contracts with the Thunderbolt Mail Service, to whom they regularly subcontract delivery work and message relaying in areas with compromised or non existent electronic networks. Despite several offers, Thunderbolt maintains its independence, a situation Outer Haven has come to accept
  33. Outer Haven's penchant for 'no questions asked or answered' work has made them occasional enemies of The Crusaders. The Crusaders regard Outer Haven as opportunists, enabling global conflicts. Outer Haven in turn consider Crusaders to be too self righteousness to truly succeed in their goal
  34. The Pack too are often enemies of Haven, with the suited ciminals rampages often being the reason Haven are hired to keep the peace in any given area
  35. As a suit wearing faction, the Hunters are by nature considering hostile at best
  36.  
  37.  
  38. Less Than Public Relations
  39. Outer Haven maintains a respectable public face, but underneath is a cold corporate war machine, dedicated to its own profit and goals. If governments ever discovered the true end game of the Haven leadership, chaos would reign. But, for now, the jokes about Haven suit pilots aiming for 'self employment' is all the public really know
  40. Outer Haven play a hard game, but ultimately realise that Thunderbolt is infinitely more useful independent then it ever would be under their thumb. If nothing else, a deniable railgun strike has given several members ideas for later projects....
  41. No secrets for the Crusaders, they can't stand Outer Haven, and Outer Haven can't stand them. If the Haven was ever realised, things would probably only get worse between the two
  42. The Pack are in fact occasional allies of Outer Haven, causing small crises to encourage a military action they can use as cover for greater crimes. The Pack are commonly seen in the wake of Haven operations, looting and selling arms amidst the battlefield. Some members of the Pack have even gone 'legit', operating as deniable strike forces so Outer Haven can drive up war prices in a region (pic related)
  43. The Fae are not above hiring mercs, but their desire to reclaim suits puts them heavily against Outer Haven, who realise that without this edge they'd just be another pack of dogs of war. The Boss will not have died in vain
  44. Outer Haven are aware of Safety Net, and file it under "Not our problem". They have no issue with individuals being part of the Net, so long as it doesn't interfere with ongoing contracts
  45. "Hunters are Hunters, and not to be trusted". A maxim among Havenites, who have even considered temporary alliances with the Crusaders to wipe out the murderous band
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. Public
  50. Vox Populi are the newest terror threat, reads the official line. Outer Haven is only too willing to profit from the actions of these anarchists, and Haven's recent profits are in no small part due to the new War on Suit Terror.
  51.  
  52. Less than Publicly
  53. Outer Haven consider the Vox Populi one of the biggest obstacles to the realisation of the Haven project. Not that they would interfere, but that they might join in. Haven fears that if they created their own sovereign state, the Vox would simply move in and exploit it as a home, legitimizing government fears of the Haven as a destabilising element
  54. Outside these concerns, some of the Pack operators working for Haven in a deniable capacity have taken contract work for the Vox, but the greater Outer Haven body has no contracts or contacts within the Vox group
  55.  
  56.  
  57.  
  58. Brief Notes
  59. All suits and symbiotes are, officially, attached to the Outer Haven parent company, and detached on a 'as needed' basis to field operations across the world. This is to both encourage loyalty to the corporation as a whole and to concentrate power
  60.  
  61. Pilots
  62. Suit operators form the core of Outer Haven operations, filling roles from bodyguard to fire support and just about every other front or forward edge task in between. Whilst all weapon fittings, squad make up and tactical focus are subject to change in response to conditions in the field, a 'standard' Haven suit fireteam is an 9 unit. One mesh leader, two medium engineers, two medium supports, two heavy assualts, one light infiltrator and one light mobility suit. Pilots are entitled to both an increase in pay grade and greater danger moeny, on top of the option to become a stock holder in Outer Haven itself. If they take this option, they are given a copy of The Boss' will and offered the opportunity to make it a reality. So far none have turned down this honour
  63.  
  64. Symbiotes
  65. Outer Haven is actively but quietly hiring symbiotes to its ranks, offering the same benefits as they do to pilots. Symbiotes are not as flashy as their metal peers, but offer great flexibility and even secrecy in the field. Already Outer Haven is experimenting with symbiote bodyguards for civilised areas, employing the less 'changed' symbiotics as deceptively strong protectors for clients in Europe and the US
  66.  
  67. Haven symbiotes with....unusual appetites are told in no uncertain terms that if they get caught Haven will deny any and all involvement and fire you as publicly as possible
  68.  
  69.  
  70.  
  71.  
  72.  
  73.

  80.  
  81.  
  82. Things we could expand on, some suggested in previous threads.
  83.  
  84. >Different defense types, like specialized shields to deal with different weaponry, whether they be kinetic energy or thermal.
  85.  
  86. >Defining some of the abilities further, like would some upgrades affect reflex speed? Is invisibility only affecting sight and not say thermal vision or the kinds? And of course, canvas nanites limitations.
  87.  
  88. >Weapon rebalancing, similar to how >>30501486 said.
  89.  
  90. >The third post mentions that armor shape can be anything from a 4 legged animal to the size of Hummer, what about the others that have an even higher point cost? Can a lamia be the size of a small wurm?
  91.  
  92. What the hell is the settings name anyway? Power Armor CYOA is a tad off for something of this magnitude. Should decided it this thread.
  93.  
  94. Also, current factions/organizations.
  95.  
  96. >The Government, a yet to be defined entity or entities which seeks to acquire this unique technology for their own purposes, benign or malicious. Pretty much "The Man."
  97.  
  98. >The Vox Populi who seek what amounts to a revolution to put Suits in places of power, and the purging of corrupt governments to lead way to a new age, see suits as a new path on the road of human evolution, aims for a Suit ran nation where everyone is essentially equal in power and right. Is lead by a Suit called the Anarchist. http://pastebin.com/WqUB3nwr
  99.  
  100. >The Safety Net, a Suit made organization for the sake of help other Suits. It is neutral and exists to keep other Suits from being alone or forced into shit by the Government by offering assistance in the form of relocation services and possibly assistance. Essentially Suit Facebook, no obligations just don't be a dick. While all are welcome, it seems likely after it's founding it will become invite only. http://pastebin.com/XzvwY8kr
  101.  
  102. >Thunderbird Mail Service, a support group which dabbles in commodity delivery and information services. Notable for being able to deliver air mail straight from the moon in the form of a railcannon.
  103.  
  104. (continued)
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108.  
  109. >Outer Haven, a Suit made PMC operating out of South Africa, primarily using the Suits and various Unmanned drones spawned from this new technology, they seek to dominate control of the market from currently existing companies, through quality and efficiency. Recruits are guaranteed the "Family" rules and protections. No man left behind, no unheard voice, and plenty of opportunities to prosper.
  110.  
  111. Things we could do.
  112.  
  113. >Name the damn thing.
  114.  
  115. >World Gen the damn thing. Is it an AU apart from "magic spess suits from the sky?" Are countries the same or is there a mess of differences?
  116.  
  117. >Figure out where elves come in in this all. Are there other humanoid morphs and the like?
  118.  
  119. >Do the suits have a single source? That could be played on.
  120.  
  121. >Who or what is the Government, Anti Suit UN? BBEG's?
  122.  
  123. >And just how many First Gen suits are there? Figure I should mention that so far we have 3 Generations of suits, as this is a summary post.
  124.

  131.  
  132.  
  133.  
  134.  
  135. Suit Classes
  136. Mesh (Skin) - not much more than basic body armor. Original height.
  137. Light (Runner) - somewhat restricts movement, but is much more durable. 5 to 6 feet.
  138. Medium (Striker) - average armor, restricts mobility but offers an equal degree of protection. 7 to 8 feet.
  139. Heavy (Myrmidon) - not very mobile, but makes up for it by tanking damage and dealing it in kind. 9 to 10 feet.
  140. SuperHeavy (Titan) - Still a suit in the barest sense of the term, this miniature mech can withstand all but the heaviest of assaults and can level a small country. Good luck with following someone, though. 11 to 12 feet.
  141.  
  142. Suit Generations:
  143. Gen1 - Pod Suits. One of a kind, 160 resources, but the hardest to repair. Tends to attract attention due to its rarity. Be vigilant against those trying to steal it.
  144.  
  145. Gen2a - Top quality reproduced suits. 140 points. Expensive, but worth it. Limited to bipedal, tauric, quadrupedal, drider, and harpy. Two 20 point weapons max. Used by the elite of the elite. Spec ops, high tier Corporate security, government agencies. Heavy and Superheavy cost extra points over what they do for gen1 suits.
  146.  
  147. Gen2b - Less powerful, but cheaper. 100 points, bipedal only, only one 20 point weapon. Used by SWAT, Upper level military, Marines, PMCs, etc. Heavy or lower.
  148.  
  149. Gen2c - mass produced. Cheap. Bipedal only. 80 points. No lv20 weapons. No flight or smart AI. Medium or lower.
  150.  
  151. Gen3 - Variable Utility Suits. Bipedal or harpy only. 100 points. Can't pick lv20 weapons during suit gen. Heavy or lower. No Smart AI. Can purchase or craft additional components. Suit is modular. Can swap out parts only if out of suit. Parts installed can't exceed 100 points at once.
  152.  
  153. GenC - 60 points. No weapons except nonlethal. No flight or AI. Light or mesh only. biped only. Civilian grade, costs about as much as a luxury car. Often used for construction or computer work. Makes parkour 10 times better. Stronger than it looks.
  154.  
  155.  
  156.  
  157.  
  158.  
  159. Physical Shields are great against Ballistics, but weak against Plasma
  160. Plasma Shields are great against Plasma, but weak against Explosives
  161. Force Shields are great against Explosives, but weak against Ballistics.
  162.  
  163. You could buy all three types and be protected against nearly everything, however it would cost you much more, and you would almost certainly need an AI to rotate your shield system.
  164.  
  165.  
  166.  
  167. The crusaders-
  168.  
  169. >Mere weeks after the pods dropped from the sky, the middle east was deeply affected by the power dropped from heaven.
  170. >The ultra-religious took it as a sign from god, and abused their new-found powers by destroying those they had been taught to despise.
  171. > In the span of a few days, the conflict escalated to rival that of the 'Six day war' as various terrorist and conservative organizations assaulted virtually every major city and military outpost in the region with the new suits.
  172. >It was from this chaos that order slowly turned the tide, as first pairs of suits worked together to stop the slaughter of innocent people, then squads, then platoons.
  173. >Eventually these suits dedicated to protecting the innocent from the senseless slaughter became ever more organized, and this lead to their founding as the Crusaders.
  174. >Though unlike their previous namesake, the crusaders are uninterested in taking back the holy land from an imagined and demonized enemy, instead they seek to protect those who would be caught in the cross-fire of Geo-political conflicts across the globe.
  175. >Their current agenda is the eventual eradication of all conflict; and many of them realize that they attempt the impossible. The Crusaders pledge to protect the innocent, even if it means laying down their lives to do so.
  176.  
  177.  
  178.  
  179. The Union of Inquiry
  180. Other groups that were created after the coming of the suits all have obvious goals and interactions with the various factions that have since been created. They have clearly created goals, bias, and morals. The only thing that the Union shares among its members is a guarantee of cooperation in the event of being attacked and cooperation in the name of science.
  181.  
  182. Unlike many other groups the union contains a single factional break between members who will ignore modern ethics and carry out experiments like human experimentation or weapons testing in warzones or any testing generall considered cruel and unusual. These groups are opposed by more ethical Union members. Clashes between these members are frequent but occur in a generally good natured manner, few if any are willing to put "The Pact" as they call their agreement in danger.
  183.  
  184. Nothing, in general is agreed to be beyond the bounds of research for the Union. They work on every possible application of the armor's technology in every way and they do it for every goal possible, for profit, for humanity, for glory, for simple curiosity. Science for the sake of Science.
  185.  
  186. The Union has no known base, however most people have heard rumors of one of the seabed research facilities these are the so called "Deep Ones" Few members of the union know what research the Deep Ones are undertaking and the few who do are unwilling to share such priviliged information without a hefty price. The Union works with many organizations such as the Safety Net or the Thunderbirds to build up their bases but do so on an individual levels. While one idealistic Union Member may be willing to aid a Harpy Pilot with a damaged suit another is just as likely to strip their tech and use it for their experiments.
  187.  
  188.  
  189.  
  190. The Union is not to be trusted as a group, they have little in the way of control and no apparent centralized leadership aside from the Majestic 12 a council made up from the two extremes of the faction. (One side stating ethics is a basic human necessity, the other that ethics gets in the way of scientific research) This faction oversees the research of the group members, distributes funding and aid and helps new members get started in their own bases or find bases to join.
  191.  
  192. Typically a Union base is hidden, undergound, underwater, on land underneath a cloak field, in orbit as a space station...the one thing they all share is a highly encrypted communication link that allows all the members to communicate and exchange data without fear of outside interference.

  201.  
  202.  
  203.  
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. The Pack.
  208. The World Is Wicked.
  209.  
  210. The world is wicked because that which rules this world is wicked by it's very nature.
  211.  
  212. And YOU knew this, otherwise why would your suit have so much power?
  213.  
  214. You must have known why, because your first reaction was to use the suit for yourself.
  215. You did not turn it in to those who rule. You knew that they would take it and turn it against you.
  216.  
  217. You did not give it to a scientist for research. You knew they would attempt to profit off it and you would see nothing in return.
  218.  
  219. You did not turn over to someone who was oppressed, because you knew they would charge to the top and soon they would lord over you.
  220.  
  221. And you knew this for one simple reason. You are also wicked.
  222.  
  223. THAT IS NOT A FAULT BUT THE BEAUTY OF MAN!
  224.  
  225. By his very nature man craves power. He seeks it for no other purpose than to have it and use it to protect what is "his". To protect his family. To protect the ones he loves. To protect that which he holds sacred. A man would gladly burn the world to start a fire and keep his family warm.
  226.  
  227. Even when his needs are met he still seeks more power, so he can have things that he doesn't need, but that he wants. Even if he knows that by taking it other will lack what they NEED, he does it for the things he WANTS. AND THEN HE CONTINUES TO HORDE IT EVEN WHEN HIS WANTS ARE FULL! MAN WILL NEVER FILL THEIR GREED FOR POWER AND THAT IS THE WORLD YOU WERE BORN IN! A WORLD WHERE 99% OF THE WEALTH WAS CONTROLLED BY SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT! THIS WAS YOUR FATE, TO SCAVENGE AT THE BOTTOM SO YOU COULD ATTEMPT TO FILL YOUR NEEDS WHILE THOSE ABOVE HORDED PAST THEIR WANTS!
  228.  
  229. And now I have an offer for you. I offer you the rarest power. I offer you the greatest power. I offer you money.
  230.  
  231. These suit can grant you strength, but will they feed your family? These suits can make you fly, but will they stop the rain from falling on your loved ones heads? These suits can cause so much destruction, but can they heal a loved ones dying body?
  232.  
  233. No. So what can?
  234.  
  235. Money can. Money that we can get from those at the top. Money that can build a house, fill our stomachs, and give us everything we ever need and beyond. It can give us everything we ever wanted.
  236.  
  237. How do we do this? Simple, we use the power that has been given to us and we take it from those who have the power we never had. Whether for services rendered, or for places spared.
  238.  
  239. We will destroy for money. We will kill for money. We will burn the world to warm our loved ones.
  240.  
  241. You could do it alone, of course. You could hold a town hostage and demand the money. You could rob a bank and fly away. But you will be hunted and you will be outnumbered.
  242.  
  243. But man is a social animal, and hunting is always safer in groups.
  244.  
  245. Join a group dedicated to getting what we never had. Join a group who will watch you back while you sleep. Join a group who will help you give your loved ones everything they ever wanted or needed.
  246.  
  247. Join The Pack.
  248.  
  249.  
  250. The Hunters
  251. Men and women of power constantly change the course of the world. In the past this was a good thing. Many great things have been done by, and because of, these powerful people.
  252.  
  253. But, if history has taught us anything, it is that man is weak.
  254. He is short lived and often forgets his place in the world. He lets his ego or ambition blind him. And thus he commits atrocities upon his follow man.
  255.  
  256. Men of power are stupid and destructive when left to their own devices. And so they must be stripped of that power, and it must be safeguarded and wielded by the worthy.
  257.  
  258. This is a main ideology of the Hunters.
  259.  
  260. The Hunters were founded by a man known as The Cleric. His family was killed when he was attacked in his home by fellow suit owners when they learned he possessed "The Great Armaments" as well.
  261.  
  262. The goal of The Hunters is to obtain as much in the way of armor and tech that they can, dispatch the useless or unworthy, and (when possible) defend, or avoid the deaths of non-combatants.
  263.  
  264.  
  265. Many view them as nothing more than pirates or sharks because of their habit of hiring themselves out as mercs, but that is only a small part of their reputation.
  266. They believe that most are not ready for the power that the pods and armor grant them. Many people and organizations wield them for selfish or destructive reasons.
  267.  
  268. The hunters take the armor, or the lives, of the unworthy and make it their own. They reverse engineer their trophies and augment their prized suits.
  269.  
  270. They are at once, one of the most feared, and most respected faction to emerge due to their vicious nature in combat, but also their defense of the weak or unarmed. They rarely fight an enemy that possess no weapons, and if their terms are met, they will leave the pilot alive.
  271.
