Serious question here. Can we get a Top Ten list of questions answered regarding the Backstory of Rubi'Ka and it's politics, etc including the ongoing Story?
We wouldn't want anything other than what would be generally known or what a player would need to know in order to properly play his character within the Story.
Examples:
1.) Please define the political status of Newland City, Last Ditch, Borealis. What is the level of self-sovereignty and who is ultimately responsible for the ongoings in these cities.
2.) Who created the City of Wine? Is it possible to get to this city in-game currently and what it it's political affiliation.
3.) Please settle the discussion as to whether Jobe was created by NanoTechnicians only or through the cooperative efforts of the NanoMage breeded Engineers, NT's, MP's, Bureaucrats, etc.
4.) Is it safe for our characters to assume that all life on the planet is either imported, genetically-created, or arrived as stowaways on transports?
4.) What is the corporate structure of Omni-Tek at the very top? Is Phillip Ross appointed by a Board of Directors at the O-T Rubi'Ka level or via the next level up. Is the CEO of the Rubi'Ka division even elected or is he appointed by someone above his level.
5.) Answer the same for Henry Radiman. How is he elected and for what period is his term of office.
6.) Are there Clans that do not subscribe to the decision making authority of the Council of Truth. How much authority do decisions by Radiman and the Council hold over such clans as Sentinels and New Dawn?
7.) Why are there references in the Story literature and in-game to both Athen and AthenS? It's clearly stated that Omni-2 was renamed for a fighter during the last Civil War with the last name of 'Athen'. What's the deal?
8.) Obviously none of us can miss the big Temple and Pyramid in the City of Home. So many of our characters pass through there that it's kind of silly none of them have a clue as to why the Temple and Pyramid are there. Any backstory that our characters may be privy to would be appreciated.
9.) Is the City of Home, Clan or it's own faction? Some of us are under the impression that Home Guards are not necessarily CoT-affiliated but nonetheless at the same time bear no love for Omni-Tek. What's the deal?
10.) The Aquaan Queen is often seen swimming in the lake outside Newland. We also see an Aquaan Vicar (a religious figure) what are they doing visiting this little pond? What's the backstory on this species and where is their main base of operations?
Many of us are starved for information that let's us play intelligently within the game when it comes to putting our characters inside the 'real' world.
Anybody else got any reasonable questions that would help your character to properly play against the story. Or simply things you'd like to know about the world you play in?
