Chairman Fluff:

A prior service member in the american army Sarah was discharged when she lost an arm, and both legs in an IED explosion, with the advent of cybernetics she saved up her money and severance pay and replaced her missing limbs and has begun to hire out her services as a mercenary or assassin depending on the requirements of the job. Having a bit of success with bodyguard missions she used the pay to buy this abandoned oil rig and has begun turning it into her base of operations. If asked she'd say her favorite jobs would be search and retrieval of personnel, quick, simple, but has that added thrill of everything going FUBAR and it getting real fun.

Chairman Name: Duke Nelson III [Grit: 0, Guile: 1, Acumen: 4,]

Chairman Fluff: Duke Nelson isn't a bio-geneticist. He's a businessman who understands his research scientists, how to cajole them in profitable directions, and how to reward them with bouts of pure research. Nu-U is the outgrowth of a company founded by his Grandfather, and run by his Father before him, and Duke Nelson IV is currently working as a lab supervisor and earning his way up through the ranks. As such, Nelson tends to take a long view, as opposed to a short. Good practical innovations have come from interesting results of pure research, after all!

(Chairman)

Long-term Thinker:

-Duke Nelson the III makes the Syndicate resistant to Solvency shocks and personal actions to improve Solvency or increase Wealth generation receive a +10.

I'm No Scientist, But:

-Over reliance on incentivization has made Nu-U virile, but increased R&D costs. Gain +2 Wealth cost to all R&D Project Completion actions.

-Nu-U can produce more than modern man had dared dream. You can augment your agents' Grit at the cost of their Guile and Acumen. Corporate actions may be explicitly carried out by heavily Bio-modded personnel, granting +5 to violent actions or those requiring preternatural reflexes\health\unhuman features like gills\wins, but…

-One man's dreams are another man's nightmares. Publicity of your bio-engineer operatives generates heat. If any of them got caught committing a crime, it would generate two times the heat.

Syndicate Name: Øivind-Kurosawa Conglomerate (Formerly SAP Deutschland)

Syndicate Fluff: The result of the German entrenched and highly secretive Øivind family's sudden desire to cooperate with the fresh-faced Japanese Kurosawas, Øivind-Kurosawa has recently pushed to acquire the massive SAP Deutschland and a number of smaller utilities, software and advanced design agencies across Germany, Øivind-Kurosawa is an unexpected and highly interesting phenomena. The conglomerate's formation and extremely rapid spread, as well as the sudden desire of the formerly almost asceticly reclusive Øivinds has been cause for concern amongst some in the high-tech industry in Europe and Japan, as have the significant military and political capabilities both families are well-known to posses.

Starting City/Region: Walldorf, Germany

Chairman Name: Nichols Øivind

–Grit:[1]

–Guile:[2]

–Acumen:[2]

Chairman Fluff: Nichols Øivind isn't a man with a long wikipedia page. He probably won't be listed in many magazine covers, and he is, by all accounts, a soft-spoken man who rarely speaks and shies away from public performance.

Few will ever understand just how much power he holds.

Nichols has three children that he never sees, instead spending his time cutting international deals and in backroom conferences, or burying himself in ancient works and tomes. His massive home is almost like a museum, in that it hosts a humongous variety of works thought lost to history and priceless artifacts, some practically radiant with power. Nichols is, despite his immense personal wealth, not a greedy man - the money is just a means to an end. That end is, of course, untold and unforseen power. Few things escape the gaze of a 187 IQ child prodigy who made untold billions in his youth through inside banking and exploiting connections - but the truth behind it all has. Not for long. Not anymore. Power, one way or another.

Starting the bid on self-aiming sights at 4 wealth.

1. Nichols will focus on improving the physical defenses of Øivind-Kurosawa International Towers, setting up elite Asgaard security positions, fortifying positions, and creating checkpoints around all of Walldorf to ensure that no large group could ever securely make it inside of Walldorf without our explicit permission, and the small groups that would be forced instead unable to so much as make a dent in our impenetrable security, in our mainframes or against or people.

2. Mr. Kurosawa will be hunting for a supremely skilled Agent to recruit to the inner sanctum of the Conglomerate.

3. Corporately, we will be expanding in the Americas this turn, filling out Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. Any extra should go into Iowa and Michigan.

4. We will also be focusing on expanding in Europe proper this turn, throughout Central Europe to help fill out our newly-acquired territory. It is pointless to focus on edging out the Old Guard at this moment in time, as they hold relatively little power in Germany, but we should remove them soon enough before they can grow.

5. Continue researching AI II [3/15] to improve our servers and mainframes. Probing into [REDACTED] for it's secrets might help.

(also: dat wikipedia vandalism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_salt_production)

Syndicate Fluff: The syndicate listed on stock exchanges across the globe as RAW has two driving interests - Materials and Power. Everything starts somewhere, and RAW wants to be that somewhere - from ore to oil, fertilizer to fuel, if it can be found in the ground they'll dig it up, process it and sell it for profit. Of course it's not just about digging it up and selling it - power generation, processing, shipping and the heavy equipment necessary for all of the above all come under RAW's portfolio - vertical integration is one of the keys to their success.

The other key, they've found, is a willingness to get their hands dirty, in pretty much every way - many valuable resources can be found in unstable or protected regions, and the ability to lean on politicians or act with a heavy hand has benefited the company many times - they are the power company, and they like all sorts of power.

Agent Name: Lisbeth 'Kali' Summers

Agent Fluff: Lisbeth was a goddess with a sniper rifle. No matter her target, no matter her objective she always took them down. She hired herself out to the highest bidder and trusted her partner to watch her back when things got dicey. That part of her life ended when her partner sold her out and the enemies she had been hired to suppress and kill dropped a ten story building on her. She survived, but her arms did not.

She approached Nu-U for one reason and one reason only. To get them back. In her own words, she sold her soul for them. Nu-Genetics decided to test out several experimental procedures on their new asset and Lisbeth got her arms, back plus a few extras as well which has since earned her her new nickname. Kali.

That look, feel, fire, and reload like the real thing but are safe for the kiddies! For years, we've been hiring out to 3rd party toymakers who make really sloppy and goofy replica's.

We can upgrade our laser tag game's too! Make hologram enemies, monsters, and bad guys that you can actually shoot at during the laser tag games! They look, feel, and sound like they're actually getting blasted at by lasers. Even older folks would love this!
