The Outside World and Previous Actions
As those with strange, unnatural, and mostly unexplainable powers come to be more than just a handful of people, the governments of the world start to take a greater interest in these strange people with equally strange powers. Of course, in some nations and places, they are more common than others. In Nemorland, the New Clear Visionaries, a super/metahuman group recently set up in Forwit, has taken stage as a political party, and one that advocates a coexistance policy and government backed research into the possibility of granting powers to people. Their name is naturally a play on the word Nuclear, as most in Nemorland in Forwit with powers ended up breaking into the facilities there, much to the annoyance of medical professionals and the local government. In Pren Gwyn, a new ordinance was passed giving a grant to the mining and refining sector in the hopes of kickstarting the economy of the more industrial cities, and another ordinance requiring that all military personnel are to be checked for powers. Meanwhile, in Schwarzes Holz, a similar move has been done in regards to supers, requiring a census of all with powers to be taken by the end of the year, and also of interest is the opening of a grand new museum in Kalterhafen, scheduled to open in about a year's time. With the nations of Shirohon and Sothweg however, things are much more quiet...Though, in the case of the former that is to be expected, as information tends to rarely come out...
Contacting Vinod is fairly easy, the issue is mainly ensuring him that we aren't planning on... 'removing' him, and instead want a permanent deal. It takes time, as all things do, and unfortunately in the process we have to let him in on the fact of who's the one giving him the money, seeing as we aren't one of his more...traditional customers, and arguably could be seen as a rival. Still, given how important and skilled of a figure he is, it's only natural, and provided he only know's who his employer is, doesn't ask too many questions, and most importantly doesn't get arrested, it will likely not cause too many issues, and even in the scenario he does get caught, unless something has royally gone wrong, his word will likely not be very believable... Regardless, with a few million transferred to ensure a life long contract, and a much more modest payment plan with all the benefits a prospective employee could want, Vinod has officially become a chauffeur and personal mechanic. Unofficially, he is what he always was. A get away driver and our perfect transport of stolen and elicit goods.
It is currently the Project and Research phase.
You may at this moment in time describe and start one project which you would like to work on. The full effects of a project will be known upon completion, and the price and time of a project will be known once it is started. Do note that once you start a project, you do not need to work on it in the deployment phase, though electing not to will not advance it closer to completion.
Also feel free to rename the faction name to something else if you'd like.
Status of the Cabal:Current Funds: 10 million $
Current Influence: 12 favors
Name: Feng Zhelan
Gender: Female
Appearance and Background: Born in Hong Kong, Zhelan was one swift to realize their lack of opportunity there from a young age, and would, after learning English thanks to a factory manager she worked for temporarily, stow away on a ship to America, where she would find Chinese immigration was banned. While she originally had an idea of going to Canada through america and getting a permit there so that way they could loophole the system, they needed money for this and would resort to theivery for a time, eventually ending in her getting caught. However, she'd manage to escape before being deported and steal one last time before stowing herself away once more, and she would keep one of the amulets she stole, one she keeps to this day and believes has some good fortune, even if she knows such notions are silly. Once the second ship she stowed away upon docked, she'd find herself in Pren Gwyn, and would work slowly on getting money, which naturally she'd do through the way she knew best. However, after some time, she would meet a man named Shun who she would grow quite fond of, and after some time with enough money open up a restaurant named the White tiger of the West, or Xīfāng báihu, though she'd soon use it as a front for various other more...illicit businesses as she expanded her empire as it turned out that her restaurant struggled at first. And while her restaurant would get a profit as she learned, so too did her more illegal business, expanded later on by the purchase of a pharmaceutical's store. And, while she'd use plenty of funds to aid the local Asian community, she also would use those under her for less legal work to enforce a bit of...extrajudicial form of protection against other groups of organized crime...In part, due to her efforts, Pentrefsiapaneaidd is what it is now. Yet, this wasn't exactly enough...
Feng commonly wears fancy traditional dresses, though occasionally wears more western suits or clothing. She has Black hair and, oddly, green eyes.

Master of Slight of hand and Stealth - While certainly no longer one to steal, Feng has a good deal of skill in the art of blending in and hiding both her movements and herself. This needless to say makes it a lot harder for one to spot her.

Name: Vinod Ashtekar
Gender: Male
Appearance and Background: Born in India, Vinod and his story is mostly unknown to us until they arrived in Pren Gwyn, and Pentrefsiapaneaidd. Initially, they worked as a mechanic, surprisingly enough. Anyone else would say he worked hard and eventually managed to save up enough money to buy themselves a nice car which later they modified as a bit of a passion project. But in reality, they had always done a few jobs on the side of their main work. Often in the transportation of any illegal goods, no questions asked, followed by what made his passion for mechanics second in his mind. Racing. While he still would work on the transport of illegal and stolen goods, his focus became that of racing, and even at times working as a getaway driver. Regardless, he has gained the ire of some due to his lack of loyalty to anyone in any sort of gang conflicts and instead working akin to a mercenary who got hired by four gangs in particular fairly commonly, and he knows this. Still, as long as he has his car, he'll be safe.
He has tan skin and short, strait black hair and brown eyes, and commonly wears casual clothing along with sunglasses when driving, so long as it's not night.
