"We need a plan, and a name. We should infiltrate the various branches of the government, and organize ourselves in cells like the Carbonari. We're not charcoal-makers however. We're in a port city, we should be stevedore, loading the Viceroy and all his clique back to wherever. I propose that we name ourselves Stivatore, my good cousins."

Name : Harvey Khai
Age : 32
Gender : Male

Martial : 3
Charisma : 2
Administration : 0
Intrigue : 0

Class : Middle
Biography : Harvey is a former problem solver as he was called in polite circles. To the lower classes he's a thug or an assassin. He made most of his money off the lower classes killing the wealthy who had escaped justice by virtue of wealth.
They were able to hire him despite his being one of the best assassins in the nation because of a peculiarity in his nature. He charged exactly 10% of the total wealth of whomever hired him no matter what that wealth might be and he killed only those who deserved to die.

When they deserved it he was cold blooded and ruthless killing them and anybody who dared to stand in his way, when they did not he declined the job and in cases where he believed they would simply hire another man he killed them as well deeming them to deserve it for trying to kill somebody innocent.

On his latest job he was hired by a rich family to kill the occupant of a specific room in an upper class district who sought to trick him, he took the job and got into the room without difficulty to find it was the room of a 5 year old girl and so refused to do the job. Those who hired him attempted to have him killed by there guards when he came to inform them of his refusal and though he killed the person who hired him in the confusion of the fight the guards subdued him and he learned that the man he killed had been a proxy for the viceroy attempted to blackmail a noble into submission.

And so Harvey being used as an example for the masses was condemned to die in prison. Harvey of course had other plans after all, he never leaves a job undone and the true man who hired him to kill an innocent child has yet to face justice.

"The name suits me as well as any, as for a plan? One thing that has flourished under his rule is the criminal elements. They would make for useful allies capable of supplying us with a great many of the supplies we need if we can turn them to our cause.
Not to mention man power from people who want the Viceroy gone, I know more then a few of them rather well.

Using some of my families money I helped several prominent criminals in this area get out of some difficult situations in exchange for access to supplies I'm sure they could be persuaded to join us.

"Well, let us agree on a revolutionary organization. There are five of us, and we can form the first cell. Each of us can go and form another 5-man cell, which we'll head. Each members of those cells will himself head a 5-man cell, etc etc. With everyone knowing only the people in his cell and the cell below, our organization will be safe from the Viceroy's police.

Furthermore, I propose that we each take pseudonyms. We cannot use our real names. As members of the first cell, our pseudonyms should start with 'A'.

If all agrees, we can then move on and recruit our cells. I'll recruit mine among my friends in the officer's corp."

"5 may be somewhat difficult for me, the groups I know consist of far more then just 5 people but I suppose I could create the cell out of just the group leaders, the rest of the groups don't need to know anything they'll do as me or the leaders tell them."

Yes lets head 5 man cells and take pseudonyms, i like to keep my pseudonym as "the red".
i will try to find others that can grasp that property is theft and need for individual reclamation.


I have a plan to help us liberate some of the Proletarian from there Bourgeois factory owner.
But we will need some guns, the tools to force a few strong lock, the help of the common factory worker and a lot of money.

"Well I can maybe get the tools and guns for you, as for the worker and money. I know no workers and I can't spare that much money right now."

Step one: A lage strike at a factory, dock yard or other means of production in the hands of the bourgeois.
Step two: With most of the Viceroys police at the picket line, cells can brake in to police stations, prisons, tax offices and so on.
In side both the records can be burned  and the armory seized for the revolution, speed will be the key here.

Step three steal: some of the great lie or as they call it money, a small bank or a pay wagon should give us the founds for step five.
Step four: Remove the Bourgeois at the head of the means of production , this will reduce it share price even more that the strike.

Step five: use the money to buy shares and distribute them to proletarian workers, thus destroying the bourgeois strangle hold on the means of production.

"I must agree, such a plan is premature. We can't organize a strike, we don't have the contacts needed for that. We should focus on expanding our organization for now. If all agrees, I suggest we go to our business of cell-making and report here in a week. Before we leave though, we should agree on pseudonyms. I shall be known as Alexander", for the general that sent so many rulers fleeing." Addressing Yuliana: "Since you want to keep that color, I suggest you name yourself Alfred."

"Of course it does. Noblemen shine in Larton like diamonds on a beach. If rumors of a noble leader called Jordan gets around, he will have you arrested and your money will not protect you. That is why you need a nom de guerre. In addition, alphabetic pseudonyms are an handy way to discretely structure our organization! We cannot go around calling each other generals or presidents, but names starting with 'A' will cover the same meaning - with discretion."
