>>28625447Really good stuff, it's pretty amazing all the subsidiaries a mega corporation can accumulate. I think the company's values align very well with Moriji culture, owing to the founders upbringing I imagine, so I think there will be minimal friction with wider population.
I love all the subsidiaries, but besides an obvious soft spot for Oppia and Solus, Intrepid Ind does bring a smile to my face, analog computers are cool as hell. If one of their devices can get into meteorology, the Black Fleet would be very interested in a collaboration.
Also, the relation of the Co-op with the Goddess Faithful will be interesting. The Goddess Faithful is amply funded by the donations of towns and from the population of Moriji, since it forms the link between Deadbeats and their Mori, provides funeral services, healthcare, orphanages and does a lot to protect the island (mainly anti-schizo operations). So on the surface it would generally look down upon any corporation motivated by something as base and unspiritual as wealth.
But the Goddess Faithful is also full of murderous chuunis who want to be the most effective schizo killers possible, especially the Shrine of the Purging Flame, a more covert and radical subgroup within the Faith. And the Goddess Faithful are renowned for making heavy use of Mori-chuubanite in their activities. So there would be a lot of interest in the Co-op's chuubanite expertise, behind closed doors.
Ah, Epoch is a great character. A visionary plugged into his Deathmask 24/7 and walking through life and seeing the numbers go by sharp and clear while the rest of the world is in a chuubanite-fueled haze, beautiful.
I plan on expanding greatly on the Black Fleet when able, so I'll detail how it interacts with those various subsidiaries then. What you have there looks great to me.
