- The Negaverse is divided into four subdivisions, called Branches, to ensure optimum efficiency from all agents. Some agents may be more effective in certain tasks, so to make sure their skills are utilized effectively, they have the opportunity to join one of three specialized Branches if they feel so inclined. All agents begin in the General Operatives Branch and, as they grow and become more experienced, are given the opportunity to join one of the three focused Branches: Intelligence, Infiltration and Special Operatives.
These branches do not exist to separate the Negaverse—instead, they exist to properly hone an agent's strongest skills and put them in a position where they are guaranteed to succeed. All four branches work together; while each division may specialize in something, every agent is expected to continue growing and learning. There is a lot of room for working together; for example, a new lieutenant, newly placed in the General Operatives branch, may have regular meetings with an Intelligence Officer for guidance and resources or to submit information for them, may meet with an Infiltration Officer for aid in advancing their civilian career in a way to benefit both them and the Negaverse, and may meet with a Special Operatives Officer for more intensive combat training.
Regardless of which faction they are in, all agents are still expected to:
- Drain energy from the civilian populace to raise the power and capabilities of the Negaverse. While there is a dire need for starseeds, not all agents are requested to pull these. Only Agents prepared and willing to pull them are being asked to do so. New recruits are spared these duties.
Patrolling the streets of Destiny City to search for enemy targets including Senshi and Knights, and dealing with them appropriately.
Planning and carrying out missions pertaining to energy draining, recruitment, or training of new officers.
Co-operating with other divisions and other agents as needed and serving as loyal foot soldiers of the Negaverse.
Negaverse Agents, Corrupted Senshi, PC Youma, and Corrupted Mauvians can sign up to join a Branch, though Mauvians and PC Youma may not have the same requirements or quota as other officers due to their unique nature and skills.
The four Branches of the Negaverse are:
General Operatives
- The main and default division of the Negaverse is the General Operatives [GenOps] Branch. General Operatives are the most common Negaverse officers and are the main army of the Negaverse. Their primary focus consists of going on patrol to drain civilian energy and combat any Senshi, Knight or otherwise Order threats that they may encounter. By default, any newly recruited Negaverse agent or Corrupted Senshi is a member of this division, where they will receive their most basic training. Many officers choose to remain a General Operative for their time in the Negaverse, but some may wish to specialize their talents by focusing in the other divisions. There is no shame in remaining in GenOps; choosing a further specialization is purely optional.
Generals in the GenOps are expected to properly guide new recruits and help them settle into the Negaverse and explore and hone their skillset. General Operatives has no General Sovereign to oversee it, however any issues or questions can be raised to any of the other three Branch leaders. Queen Laurelite keeps her eye on GenOps; she also handles any issues that the General Sovereigns cannot.
Key Responsibilities:
- Because GenOps is not a specialized faction, it does not have any key focuses or responsibilities; new agents are expected to explore the other subdivisions and, if interested, apply to join them. This faction, the most malleable and well rounded, is expected to work with the other subdivisions. Being in GenOps does not imply inferiority or a lack of devotion to the Negaverse, and many of these agents choose to train and work with agents from other Branches to improve themselves without limiting themselves to one focus.
Intelligence
- Used to both gather information on the enemy and on the members of their own faction, Intelligence Officers [IntOs] have the important task of learning as much as they can about the other factions, while keeping their information current. They are expected to be cunning, observant, charismatic, and to always keep their true mission in mind. Don’t think that they are above scrutiny, themselves; working with the enemy is extremely risky business and your own comrades are probably keeping close tabs on you to make sure you aren't getting too involved. Some more ambitious agents may turn their own in for punishment; one squad of the Special Operations branch manages court martial and discipline referrals for wayward IntOs.
These agents are most frequently on the field gathering information and updating records in the Negaverse Archives.
General King Axinite oversees the Intelligence Branch.
Key Responsibilities:
- Gathering information on important people and happenings of the forces of Order.
Speaking to White Moon Senshi and Knights and identifying major threats, and their weaknesses.
Organizing data, paperwork and files, and updating the Negaverse Register on a special network of computers in Negaspace.
Reporting pertinent information to superior officers.
Quietly monitoring allied Negaverse agents and Dark Mirror Senshi for any signs of treason or weakness. They may work closely with the Special Operatives subdivision to submit someone for punishment.
Gathering information on civilians for recruitment potential. They may work closely with Infiltration Officers for potential candidates.
Infiltration
- Infiltration Officers [InfOs] usually have already made (or are in the process of making) civilian names for themselves in PR, and their invasion hasn't stopped there. The goal of the InfOs is to be everywhere. Your teacher, your newscaster, your mailman, your neighbor… All agents of the Negaverse. They recruit both young and old, from the children of politicians to those in established and prized positions. Their job is to influence, and to wait. When the time comes, the world’s peoples will unite against the invading senshi and their misguided knights. The InfOs are the foot-soldiers in this movement and may spend a significant amount of time as civilians to perform their duties to the Negaverse. While they are frequently looking for new candidates to join the Negaverse, they must also be prepared to spread the good word and justify the Negaverse should the time come. These individuals should be incredibly witty, sociable, and capable of manipulating the masses.
These agents are most frequently making civilian connections and securing allies and resources for the Negaverse while powered down, and doing PR for the Negaverse to ensure they are perceived in a positive light.
General King Lepidolite oversees the Infiltration Branch.
Key Responsibilities:
- Obtaining and maintaining a position in civilian society that can be beneficial to the Negaverse, including but not limited to media, politics, law enforcement, education, and beyond.
Making contact and befriending people who may have some sort of influence or public authority.
Identifying possible recruits to be corrupted into the Negaverse, either for social placement or other skills.
Assisting new recruits in finding positions in society or maintaining what status they have, including helping side-swapped characters procure new identities and settle into their new lives.
Maintaining a positive image for the Negaverse in the civilian life and planting the seeds of doubt in the general public against the Senshi, Knights, and other 'Forces of Order'.
Special Operations
- Special Operatives [Specs] require, first and foremost, the willpower to do all that is necessary to secure the Negaverse’s success—no matter how brutal and bloody that might be. These agents are extremely combat oriented and are trained to turn off their emotions to complete all tasks. They are battle hardened and undergo extreme training beyond normal combat measures; these agents are expected to be able to kill without sympathy. Their skills are not for use only on the battlefield; they are taught intense interrogation techniques. Being in this Branch requires a thick skin and an iron stomach; you will be asked to do things that aren't pretty or kind. These agents are expected to meet up with professional therapists to ensure mental health. There are rumors that Metallia favors these agents best due to their strong drive to eradicate the enemy, though this hasn't been confirmed. These agents must have extreme trust and loyalty in Metallia and the Negaverse, and if they are lacking, she is not above using her influence to secure their unwavering faith in her.
These agents are most frequently making calculated attacks against Order characters that have been identified as a threat, and ensuring absolute loyalty to Metallia from within.
General Queen Hessonite oversees the Special Operatives Branch.
Key Responsibilities:
- Battling Order-aligned Senshi and Knights who refuse to see the truth of Chaos.
Maintaining a body in peak fighting physique through rigorous training.
Training new recruits to be more skilled and adept in various forms of combat.
Targeting and eliminating threats to the Negaverse without hesitation.
Delivering punishment to assigned agents in response to insubordination or treason.
