Welcome to Gaia! ::


The Esthell Empire is always open to attacks. All that is required is that you PM me to tell me how, IC, did your organization hear about the Empire, and what does it want with it.

Legends have it that once upon a time, in ages long past, existed a great nation. Its territory covering the whole surface of a continent, its economy spreading past seas and mountains, its wisdom greater than any before. This kingdom knew a golden age of unending glory and wealth, and never stopped making progress in any fields imaginable.

Sadly, these progress and advances were not fueled by a will to make the world better. They were fueled by greed and the vices of uncountable men and women who always sought to own more, to control more and to be more. This would, in the end, cause this nation's very own downfall, for when its sages had discovered a mean to harness the very powers of gods and goddesses, the celestial beings decided, out of fear for their supremacy over Gaia, to punish this kingdom and bury it beneath the bowels of earth. For decades, people that were once men fought on equal terms with the gods from above until the empire was defeated. Swallowed under the seas, it was fated to become what used to be known as the Underworld -- what is now forgotten by all.



Yeah, right, in your dreams. A little more than 350 years ago, a single demon had found its way out of the Underworld. First of his kind to the surface after an exile that had lasted thousands of years, this man, Fallon Esthell the third, has but one goal:

Make sure the empire of his ancestors, the Esthell Empire, rises from it's ashes and kicks asses once more.

User ImageWhat the Empire is.
__________Of course you want to know, don't deny it.



Together we stand.
The Esthell Empire is, above all, support. Any of the Esthell Empire's members can, at any moment, request assistance for any business whatsoever, and will recieve reinforcements. Let's say, as an example, that a member is having a tough time doing his homework. PANG! He can call in, and someone comes his way to help! This is also good for a bit more shady business.

Your mission, because you will accept it.
The Esthell Empire serves Fallon Esthell's goals. If you disagree with what he has in plan for your future, you might as well quit before you get thrown out. At any moment, you may be asked by Fallon to do something incredibly stupid, without any apparent reason. If that is the case, you must do it. Don't be afraid to question, though. The boss loves smartasses.

Is that edible?
As a member of the Esthell Empire, you have access to a large database of extensive information concerning many organizations that we infiltrate. You can also borrow (with permission and some sort of guarantee of you bringing it back/guarantee of return) whatever material is offered to you. At the moment, both the archive and the hardware banks are pretty empty, but they'll grow as the Empire gain wealth and authority.

__________It's just until we find something better, love. Really.



Crap Shack v1.0
Terminated. Now a sad pile of rubbles beside Bass'ken lake.
User ImageWhat the Empire wants.
__________Or "Unsane's to-do list".



Main Goal.
Ultimately, of course, the Empire seeks world domination, duh. Only, this isn't for a while, and as such, Fallon has set a list of things that need to be done, step by step, day by day, until the Esthell Empire can finally be recognized as Gaia's most influent organization.

All other goals are permanently on display with a magnet thinger, on the fridge.



Secondary goals.
Not quite as important as world domination, these goals are still a matter of life and death:

1- Find money. The Esthell Empire is dirt poor. Find a good way to make the gold roll in, and fast. Legal ways and long-term plans are favored, but short term money will do, even if not-so-legally earned. Remember that the Empire is above law.



Other stuff to do.
- Make the Empire known.
- Round up all the members.
- Get the new crap shack build.
- Get groceries and a cook.



Do remember that this list is Unsane's list, and he is the only one allowed to make changes to it. Others touching it are to do the dishes for a whole week straight.
User ImageWho the Empire is.
__________So ... why the hell am I here?



Members.
Those are, well, the members. If your name isn't on the list but you are still a member, please PM me. I have a really hard time remembering who's in and who's not. The stars to the right indicates the number of events that member led this week.

- Mono Myst.
- Patrick Laforte.
- Spade.
- Zee.
- Terri.
- Cricket.
- Bianca.
- Ritter.
- Sakagami Touheki MIA.



Sorta members.
Those are the peoples that either don't know they're a member, or that don't want to be a member but still are.

- Kanashimi Kurai.
- Leona "FM" Beorske MIA.
- Acacia.
- Meggie.



Helpers.
Those are the peoples that aren't really part of the empire, but still help a lot when need comes.

- Currently none.



Elites.
Those are the important peoples. They hold a higher rank within the empire, and should be listened to. They're the ones pulling the strings.

Fallon "Unsane" Esthell the third: Yes, Fallon. Founder and leader of the Esthell Empire. Goes around under the name of Unsane. Called by many "the Eternal", as no matter how many times you break the b*****d, he always seems to come back.

Ariah Weles: First Lady of the Esthell Empire, Fallon's mate. Quite the smartass. Don't worry too much, the more she insults you, the more she loves you.
User ImageWhat the Empire did.
__________Wasn't me! *Coughs.* Sucker. *Coughs.*



Minor deals.
Less important stuff the Empire has done. Bring the neighbor's cat down a tree, help the old lady cross the street or empty a cash registor, syphon gas ... stuff like that.

- Big Easy bar robbery.
- Twilight bar/inn robbery



Newspaper stuff.
Bigger events that are important enough to attract media attention.

- Currently none.



Too big for the world to know.
Things so huge and so good/bad that the world might live happier if these never went public. They usually involve world destruction at some point.

- The Oblivion Spell.
User ImageWhat the Empire owns.
__________We're rich! Well, almost ...



Cold, hard cash and small belongings.
- 2000g.



The Crap Shack.
Technically, the current Esthell Fortress shouldn't really be considered a belonging, as it brought more of a debt than anything to the Empire. Indeed, pretty much everything needs to be repaired. Still, it's better than nothing at all, right? Right!?

Value: 24 000g.
Total cost of repairs: 380 000g.
User ImageEvent rules!
__________I was there. I saw it, yo.



What an event is.
An event is whenever the Empire takes action outside of this thread. Anything, and I do mean anything that you do in an outsider thread/guild that will affect the Esthell Empire is considered an event. Those could be business deals, attacks on guilds or illegal actions in commerces. I must put rules to these events because I do not want the Esthell Empire to grow too strong too fast. I want this to be a lasting challenge. As such, creating money and technologies out of nowhere will not be accepted.



Step 1 - Approval.
Before you even start taking action, you must PM me a link to where the event will take place, and include to this PM a description of the event's goal. I will then decide wether the event is approved or not. When the Empire gets bigger, other judges will be appointed to approve events. The person sending the PM will be the Event Leader. He is allowed to bring as many other members as he wants with him in the event.

Step 2 - Action.
Once the event is approved, you may take action. Do remember that anything you do, you do it in the name of the Empire, so don't mess up! Also, make sure you abide the rules of the thread you are in. Once the event has started, if you want reinforcements, you must ask for them In Character! Peoples appearing out of nowhere will not be tolerated, and the event will be declared void!

Step 3 - Feedback.
Once the event is over, the Event Leader must send me another message, with a link to where the event ended. I will then decide if the event was legal or not, and the members will be allowed to come back to the HQ.



Take note that a member cannot be an Event Leader more than twice every week. This is to make sure everyone participates, and also for the Empire not to grow too fast, again. If I see things are going slowly, I'll allow exceptions, though. A member is free to be part of any number of events he wants, as long as he isn't the leader more than twice a week.

Links to other places on Gaia. Do note that none of these links are In-Character knowledge! This post is just a useful tool for members of the Empire to know what is where. Updated regularly. If you want to be in there, send me a PM, and I'll see if I like your place enough. <3



Roleplaying threads.

Blazestar Empire
. Started by a couple of good friends ages ago, and just brought to life because Queenie was jealous of my Empire. Bah. Anyway, you might notice that Blazestar and Esthell are sorta similar, except Blazestar is freaking rich. It's just that Oobs, when designing the thread, based himself on my thread. Or so he said. Anyway, check them out, they're cool peoples. Heck, Queenie lives in Montreal. How cooler can you get without being me or D? *Poses*


Gaia Police Department. A law-enforcing thread, one of the best arounds. If you see a crime IC and feel like making fun at the losers, those are the ones to contact. Don't think about the GSPD, those were proven unworthy of my attention. GPD is the way to go. They've got cool peoples and they get the job done. Plus, a member of Esthell is at the GPD too! =D~



Gaia utility threads.
None yet. Charities, Price Guides, useful threads and such. If you find any, tell me and send me a link. If someone has a link to the AMP, I'd love to have it too, please.



Other Gaia Advertising.

Public Enema's signature shops. He makes really cool animations. Simple, clean, straight to the point. Check it out, it's really worth it. He's a doll. <3




Non-Gaia links.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. Vampirates! Vampires and pirates, both at once. Wath could be cooler? How about Canadian vampires from Newfoundland, and pirates from Saskatchewan, one of the most landlocked and waterless holes of North America? How about great artwork, a nice plot, adorable characters, and Pat Murphy? Why are you even still reading this anyway, go read the damn comic already. Be nice to Jones, though. He has a bit of a hard time staying on schedule, but he still rocks.

Well, s'kinda quiet ... what's everyone doing? What am -I- doing? Aaaaargh. That art auction I'm putting up with D is sucking away most of my time, sorry folks. Always open for new peeps though! We need guys and gals with initiative, gotta get the game rollin'. Or something. School's starting soon for everyone, too. Some even started already, so I won't be expecting things to go hella fast from now on. No worries, we ain't in a hurry. =D

July 29th, 2005.
I've gotten myself a Gaia Journal! That means you won't have to endure as much ranting anymore, since RL stuff's been moved to there. Roleplaying-wise, erm, well ... I lack inspiration. Iunno, I just don't seem to be wanting to roleplay anything. @_@

But Esthell Empire will prevail! We need a new event, folks. I know Ritter's waiting for me to move Unsane's a**, but everyone else can go out and bring in the bacon! Move, soldiers! <3

July 13th, 2005.
Well, wow. This morning, I had a job. Yes, had. Due to complete exhaustion (still lack of sleep and food, dammit. I'm not taking lst minute jobs anymore), I sorta blacked out after half a day of work. Yep, fired after half an effin' day. I thought that only happened in the views.

I'm still exhausted, and dehydrated. Gonna take care of my health for a while. You peoples don't need me anyway. Go around and make us known! When Unsane comes back from whatever he's doing, he'll give the nicest members a crash course on evil empire advertising.

I'm hungry. </3

July 12th, 2005.
Holy ********, I'm tired. Gimme a break. Been working nonstop, all the time, all over the place. Quest, roleplaying, artsies ... haha. I still don't have a real job either. I need moneeey.

So, yeah, erm ... Esthell Empire is kinda fully running, now. I don't have any more reserved posts anyway. We're still small, but slowly growing up. Unsane never pops up at the HQ, though. He's about just as busy as me. Then again, no. He's busier.

DX Ugh. Things aren't cool. Insomnia's catching up with me. Imma be a little quiet in the next few days, I need to catch up on much needed sleep. Sorry folks. My PM box is still always open, though. Aaaaaand ... that's about it. I'm hungry. Have a nice day!
Unsane. Fallon Esthell of his real name. This day was a proud day for the Underworld demon. His long-time dream was finally starting, and it was only a matter of time before the Esthell name is known world-wide as a force to be respected and admired. Just the thought of it brought the widest of grins to his lips.

Hands at his hips, the ice elemental was standing in front of his newly acquired fortress. His deep, endless eyes were running over the brick walls of the modest construction with a mix of pride and of pity, but no matter how much he tried to see the good sides of the Crap Shack, Unsane always came down to that one, final conclusion: Ariah wouldn't like it. At all.

And that pretty much spelt doom for him. Le sigh.
